“The Fed is trying to reflate the U.S. economy. The process of reflation involves lowering short-term rates to such a painful level that investors are forced or enticed to term out their short-term cash into higher-risk bonds or stocks. Once your cash has recapitalized and revitalized corporate America and homeowners, well, then the Fed will start to be concerned about inflation – not until.”

A 1997 Salon? Did they would not have been my pullquote. Yes, Salon is always expensive and always good, but next to the 1995 and 1996, the 1997 is small beer at best.
Now if JAL were serving a bottomless 1996 Krug, I’d book that flight to Tokyo right now..
