All along I awaited the deflation 'impulse' or 'scare' and never did I imagine it would be quite this bad. But again I will tell you it IS scary and we DO need to protect ourselves from (and take advantage of - we heat by oil) price destruction in the heat of the event, but nothing has changed. One day the hysteria is going to be looked back upon as the opportunity of a lifetime. I am not talking about an opportunity to get rich. I am talking about an opportunity to protect oneself from ongoing, intensifying and systemic inflation.
Thanks again to Otto Rock for the Nouriel fright mask.
