The problem is as much inflation as Europe is going to create, America is going to create even more. So, as bad as the Euro currency might be, the U.S. Dollar is worse.

Foreign Stocks, U.S. Stocks & Real Estate Prices
Foreign stocks are doing quite a bit better than U.S. stocks. If you just own foreign stocks, you are probably doing OK. But if you have a typical U.S. stocks portfolio that it is not just the Dow Jones, chances are your stock portfolio is worth less today than it was at the beginning of the year which means that the wealth effect that Janet Yellen was counting on to power the U.S. economy its not there when it comes to stocks. And I don`t think its there when it comes to real estate either, because I think real estate prices are off this year.

Stock Market: Hidden Weakness
In fact the vast majority of stocks, I think are down on the year. If you look at the Dow, you are talking about 30 stocks, but if you look at the Russell 2000 Index, obviously you have 2000 stocks there and a lot of those stocks are down quite a bit this year, some of them are down more than 10 percent.
So, just looking at the broad averages does not give you a real picture of what is going on in the stock market because I think most people I would guess, their portfolios are down on the year.

Central Bankers: "We Need More Inflation!"
I have never seen a situation where politicians and bankers would publicly admit how much they want to create inflation. See, they normally want inflation but normally they are not honest about it. They lie about it, they don`t even like to use the word inflation. They say, monetary stimulus, we need a demand boost or they have some kind of code word for inflation, I mean, Quantitative Easing, that is an euphemism. The government wants inflation but they call it quantitative easing.
But this is the first time that you really see politicians and more importantly central bankers, the people who are theoretically been entrusted to safeguard the purchasing power of our money, these guys are now saying that we need more inflation.
