Deflation is normally in reference to prices. Typically assets but anything priced in currency. That would mean cash is king. No doubt the governments will try to print their way out of this so we still probably get stagflation down the road but to me he seems to be saying that we are in the...

Jim Rickards for ages has been promoting a "dumbell" strategy because he wasn't sure if it was going to be a deflationary or an inflationary crash. He seems to have come out in favour of deflation in his most recent piece. He's one guy who seems to have a track record for getting more than his...

Tyler Durden is a character in the movie Fight Club played by Brad Pitt. If you check the avatar on ZH you will get confirmation that this is where it’s from. The character has a strong ideological bent which is obviously shared and reflected in the ZH attitude. Articles written by Tyler...

NCM NST RRL EVN I've been burnt by juniors so have been focused on mature producers with proven reserves as a leveraged paper gold play.

Maybe Bill Gates really *is* the anti-christ

It sounds like you are well on your way to figuring things out. Congrats and welcome. Have a read through some of the forum here as there is a pretty knowledgeable community and there is lot to learn. I've been here on and off for near 5 years and still learning. The answer to your question...

There's only about 2 people on this forum who will say "down" so its a bit of a loaded question to ask on a PM forum like this. I personally think we are facing a phase of money printing and lots of "stimulus" which is likely to drive inflation and the price of gold right up. It's always good...

Classic Wikipedia. They are both horribly oppressive, but note the somewhat sunnier description of Communism without the "characterized by" reference. Be careful what you choose as your source of truth....

This is a very specific and visible event that will potentially invalidate all the other claims made above in just one weeks time if it doesn't happen (that is very non-Q like). I have been waiting and wondering if this might happen anyway but on current course it looked to me like they were...

Here's one the Australian stackers might appreciate. Q : Whats the difference between a run on toilet paper and a run on the banks? A : About three weeks

This is precisely what I think the most likely scenario and current plan is. That does not mean that it can't or won't change or there are no other options for policy makers to consider. As you point out, it doesn't matter which way they go if our purchasing power (and currency) is destroyed...

LOL. Touche. I guess on a lot of topics I agree with you and you often talk sense. I will make a mental note to downgrade my expectations from here on ;)

There is evidence that bankers lie. There is evidence that bankers are wrong. There is evidence that Australia follows foreign monetary policy trends. There is evidence that foreign monetary policy trends include implementing negative interest rates. Yes, I am speculating but that speculation...

...and bankers have never lied or been wrong before...or even changed their minds as circumstances change or politicians apply pressure? I'm not saying it's going to happen, only that it is possible and that it is poor form to be abusing / insulting people for believing it might happen. I do...

C'mon shiney, you're better than that. Why is Australia so unique / special and when have we ever NOT followed overseas policy trends? This is from a year ago and also well before current events have dented economic activity / confidence. Believing it is possible here and that our bankers...

Yes, the great irony is that negative interest rates are a lesser evil compared to money printing. At least it's a more level playing field.
