Title: On the horizon...stagflation?

I don't think I could look at all the data and reach another conclusion.  Inflation seems a given, especially due to what the Fed has been doing, a stagnating economy may not be on everyone's radar right now, there is a lot of focus on unemployment, not that there shouldn't be, but everything affecting the economy and our markets needs to be considered together, not individually.

While some are taking their precious metals gains and walking away, I think I'll hang onto, and add to, my hedging!

Gutsy decision.

I have visions of dithering until it levels at a loss for me then waiting another 30 years.
