inflation my dear

Ah… the inflation threat, i know, am worried too.

What should one do, buy a Parisian retailer like like the Dankner do? or dig gold like paulson and  Spitznagel?

A tough dilemma..

I pulled out an old article by Warren Buffett to shed some light on investment expectations and strategies.

The deflation/inflation debate appears to be leaning towards inflation these days while stagflation had returned to the discussion as a threat-term.

On a side note: Nouriel roubini looks like he partied too much, this sign alone may signal the end of the recession. (no, not really).

A PPIP thought.

A short few questions, having read this long, long article along with its accompanying missives:
How PPIP capital gains/losses will be Taxed?
Isn’t all that activity the plan will create will boost government income from taxes?
Aren’t banks gonna have some additional fee revenue on these transactions?
How are these parameters change the picture, (well not the Big picture) the PPIP one.
hasn’t anyone googled the funny name only to find out the Canadians (once again) are already there? setting the acronym for the down to earth, all important “Provincial Parental Insurance Plan ” of Canada.
