Well, my friend, has anyone told you that patience is a virtue (sorry, I am sure that's glib)? So don't get your knickers in a twist and bear with me pls, OK?

Aren't we talking about Japan here? I have tried to trade the "emerging inflation" thesis in Japan in recent years, and not once. Talk about getting your ass handed to you on a silver platter. You try buying some JGBi's and let me know how that feels.

OP was talking about this:

nothing about Japan.

Quick, someone let the Japs know... The poor dears are at their wits ends, trying to deal with their deflation problem. If only they realised that all these things they're so unhappy about are actually good for them, they might just get to relax and enjoy themselves.

they won't let the system cleanse. they continue to try to print their way into inflation, just like bubble ben.

Bubble Ben and Krugman think they didn't do enough printing
Japan was the 1st to try QE in modern times..so they were very cautious about it, true Japan style, baby steps

M2/M3 money never rose much yoy, 2-3% I think

thanks for your usual intelligent and incisive response. "don't twist too much in your knickers." it doesn't help your trading.
by the way what did you find wrong with the question why japanese central bankers didn't succeed.
I did receive 1 thoughtful reply. do u have one?

deflation is not the end of the world. it is good for capitalism. it cleans out the the excesses and bubbles in the system.

You are right however the last recession we had that almost became a depression just 2 years ago was suppose to clean out the entire global system and start fresh but Bubble ben bernanke and friends did NOT let that happen. Every time this economy is on the brink of the smallest recession they do everything and anything possible to keep GDP growing. Prices are starting to inflate again because of the QE 1 2 3 4 5 and trillions in handouts. They did the same thing in housing, housing prices should be 25-50% lower in most areas around the country but due to new programs and tax credits they propped up that area as well. Everything is being inflated again, nothing holding it up but more air!!!

I must have shopped at the wrong grocery store today!

I wish I could have said you did but you didn't, the one near me is selling product at the same price near you. Prices will probably be going higher as commodities continue to run higher especially good old oil nearing $91 a barrel!!!
