Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Mish Shedlock returns to update us on his deflation views. In 2002 after the Greenspan-induced dot com bubble collapsed, many worried that the U.S. could suffer a Japanese style deflation. That’s when Ben Bernanke wrote a paper titled “Deflation: Making Sure It Doesn’t Happen Here.” He reasoned that massive amounts of money creation helicoptered over American would avoid deflation. Nine years and trillions of dollars later, factoring in actual inflation, we still have virtually zero real economic growth. Unemployment remains high and interest rates are suggesting future deflation. Has Bernanke been successful in avoiding deflation or is he digging an even deeper deflationary hole? We’ll ask Mish Shedlock. As the real price of gold continues to climb we are in the bull market of a lifetime. Joining us to help us capitalize on this gold bull market of a lifetime will be Marcy Kiesman of Atocha Resources, Gregory Beischer of Millrock Resources and Ingrid Hibbard of Pelangio Exploration.
