Originally posted by Krypton Inflation means anything priced in dollars goes up in market price, yes that means stocks too. But I wouldn't expect a glorified bank teller to know this...

Monetary inflation is the increase in the money supply. The increase in prices of goods and/or services would be the effect of that.

Originally posted by colonelcrisp for all of you skeptics of stock market investment... I bought 1100 shares of Ford Motor last year at around a buck a share. its trading at 8.27 right now..... the colonel profits!

Don't fucking remind me man. I was thinking to myself back in March "Hm, self, I should learn how to buy stocks so I can drop my savings into Ford and ride their recovery to riches."

Shares were around a buck in March...

In May, they hit 7...

I shoulda learned.

You weren't? Then why did you begin your sentence with, "Inflation means...", followed by your own small definition?

More economic recovery news from today:

1) the services sector (80% of the American economy) contracted in July rather than expanded as expected.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/32296019

2) Planned layoffs (for the upcoming future) by businesses are up 31%, even though it's being reported that job losses have slowed in July... with the unemployment rate to reach 10.2% soon.
http://money.cnn.com/2009/08/05/new..._cuts/index.htm

3) If the recession is over and the stimulus is working, why is this happening: "The Senate yesterday passed a $124.3 billion agriculture spending bill that pays to add millions of people to the food-stamp rolls as rising numbers of the jobless are forced into the program. A record 34.4 million people -- or one in nine Americans -- were participating in the food-stamp program as of May. That's an increase of 650,000 people from the previous month and up 6 million from the same time last year."

3. Reduces morally complex social phenomena to simple, immoral actions;

Impersonal, institutional processes, especially errors and oversights, interpreted as malign, consciously intended and designed by immoral individuals.

4. Personifies complex social phenomena as powerful individual conspirators;

Related to (3) but distinct from it, deduces the existence of powerful individual conspirators from the 'impossibility' that a chain of events lacked direction by a person.
