Quote from Texas:
You know what I don't like about you
You believe authority
What's with personal attacks? Did I touch your sensitive areas in another thread?
You don't know me... and why do you think I care what you think?
Quote from Texas:
You are basically one of those modern day kids who grew up studying accounting or sciences.
At least I took time to educate myslef so that I don't have to blindly rely on opinions of others.
Quote from Texas:
Years of looking at neat spreadsheets and reports has you convinced that if they are neat enough, they must be true.
The fact is you don't know fuck all about IMF gold, how much they have, how much they sold, to whom, etc
Where you there
did you count it
did you transport it
I am familiar with this philosophy. You doubt anything that you didn't personally experience. Note in this case you can't have opinion regarding anything related to economics, politics, or conspiracy theories.
You are talking of Bilderberg Group. Did you actually see them meet? Did you actually see who comes there? Did you see what they do behind closed doors? If, for example, I claim it's a bunch of rich people who meet to have a few shots of whiskey and have a wild orgy, can you prove me wrong based on the evidence you personally collected?
Similarly, how can you judge what inflation is? If you tried to maintain an inflation index yourself you would not have time to attack posters on Web forums. Even if you wanted to go with a simple approach and base inflation on a price of Big Mac, did you actually buy a Big Mac every year since 1960. Assuming you did, did you actually keep receipt from every year, or at least make a record of the date and price, to make sure your inflation guesstimate is not purely based on your blurred memory?
The O.P. asked for some data. I am trying to help him and have provided some data. If he was looking for alternative data, it's up to the O.P. to state that.
If you want to say tha data is wrong, provide alternative data and ideally try to explain why there is difference. If you don't have "correct" data but you think availabel data is wrong, at least try to build an argument beyond "I don't like this poster".
