    I don't think we are going to see high inflation either.
    The 10%+ IR is wishfull thinking. I am more of a deflation view myself.

    AEP in the Torygraph is also saying deflation is the problem.

    Chancellor Angela Merkel lashed out last week at quantitative easing by the Fed, the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank, repeating the silly mantra that this will set off an inflationary storm. How can it do so when the velocity of circulation has collapsed, and unemployment is rising everywhere? The Fed's "monetary multiplier" ended last week at 0.867, half its average of 1.7 over the last decade.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Indeed, I don't want it as I am a home owner, but at least I thought it was the strongest possibility so I got a stupidly low tracker.

    If you are going to carry debt in deflation it is best to make it very cheap to service during deflation (so you can actualy over pay), that chance passed September/October.

    i'm yet to see anyone prove that the asset replacement program will cause inflation

    Why do people assume that house prices will crash with higher interest rates?

    in general pretty sure the idea is that the higher the interest rate the lower the amount of capital available to a first time buyer, as the affordability from monthly salary has changed negatively for them
