Angela Stone, CEO of Sloan Financial Group shares her thoughts on the actual inflation in the world. Even though the Fed data is showing around 2% if we want our investments to keep pace we need to understand what we are up against.

    tHE GOVERNMENT HAS LONG USED “SUBSTITUTION” AS PART OF THEIR INFLATION CALCULATION.
    The basket of groceries in 1980 is no longer similar to the basket today..

    Also the natural prices of technological goods tend to stay similar while the actual products improve…..this is characterized by governments as more deflation than it actually is.

      CFS, so you’re trying to tell me hamburger meat today is not the same as hamburger meat in 1980?

      We KNOW that the FED has adopted “substitution” thinking you will start buying Whoppers if they are cheaper than Big Macs. By using the false claim, they can substitute hamburger meat for steak. Well, aren’t they both beef? See? No inflation!

      But what Substitution tells us is that we are getting poorer. I have often wondered what substitution would mean if we switch to old shoe leather instead of meat and ate dirt instead of vegetables. Where the HELL do we go from there?

      To get a better understanding of inflation look at the CHAPWOOD INDEX. As it turns out, it comes close to matching John Williams’ inflation data.

      Actual inflation runs from 7-13% depending on the city you live in.

        No, johnnygeneric, I’m telling you that Steak has been replaced by chicken.

        The “excuse” is that American society has changing lifestyle patterns and that “in order to make the basket more representative” it has been modified.
        Funny how it gets modified to cheaper items, making inflation appear less, so social security and other payments are adjusted in amounts lower than real inflation.

    Trump has a zero tariff ultimate goal.

    Is it reasonable for foreign countries to systematically drain U.S. wealth?

    China may be the last to reduce tariffs on U.S. goods, but the problem with China is not so much tariffs, but THEFT of technology.
    Feinstein should be investigated; she is a traitor with respect to the Chinese.

    The Feral Gooberment’s inflation numbers are a big lie.

    But what can we expect from a country run by criminals???

    This is one way the Gooberment steals from its serfs yet not one in a thousand serfs realize it is Gooberment theft.

    Why do you think the Democrats accused Trump of collusion with the Russians?

    Standard rule:

    Always accuse the opposition of what you are doing first.

        Haha! Well Trump said he will shutdown the government with the next spending bill coming September 30th. So we’ll see how everything plays out soon..

        Did you know that in 1986 Dianne Feinstein visited China and her husband received a contract from a Chinese company? Her family has been receiving money from China ever since. She has been involved in major Senate committees that had major classified information of interest to China. She has employed a person who has recently been outed as a Chinese spy, who has been with her over 20 years.
        Do you seriously think she is not a traitor to the US ? China has paid her husband $millions over the years! (She is, after all, one of the richest senators in the US)

    expect Mueller to stay until close to the elections and then make some surprise announcements or charges designed to affect the November elections in favor of Democrats.
