something I have been thinking about but haven't quite reached a conclusion, I
am not sure that we are in a non-inflationairy environment...hypothesis the
inflation that has occured in the last few years is not being measured in any
of the standard ways CPI etc. , the inflation that exists is in the price we
pay for current earnings ( we being buy and hold types , not short term
traders) I'm pretty convinced this is true , a look at average P/E's over the
last few years will show it. I suspect that it may have significance for the
price of gold .
