the liquidity needs to be pumped into the economy.
when inflation arrives the federal reserve will slowly rise interest rates they were 21% under carter so this is no big deal.the fed could also buy dollars in the economy.
what we should be hearing from the sage of omaha is
1. how bh pulled out of providing insurance from the banking deposits when there was perceived risk bh immedately stopped insurance to the banks…so here is an investor who wants a guaranteed biz.
2.how buffet invested in aig which is now worth 50 cents on the dollar tell us more buffet.
3. does buffet now understand the online world more than 10 yrs later after every franchise newspaper in the country is now worthless?
online there is over 20 billion in annual advertising has buffets thinking caught up to the times? or is munger now the man.ben gramm theory is usless on the web.

I just can’t see inflation on the horizon…stores and businesses will be thrilled just to have a sale…raising prices would be a deal breaker most of the time
