    He believes they'll keep their word about rates staying low till 2014

    If banks really do control rates all by themselves he is right, if its affected by market participants then it wont end gradually.
    I think the dynamics are more like an avalanche, today we're sking on it and the more snow the better.
    Then tomorrow with just a bit of sunlight maybe the amount of snow stored on the hillside in a steep gradient is no longer fun but dangerously uncontrollable and destructive and the positives are reversed immediately

    How many countries have a fixed link to the Dollar. I was reading about Sri Lanka and theres El salvador and probably loads of others. They must act as a buffer, mopping up so maybe they're the best marker but I dont think it will be clear or gradual

    Interesting video, a few quotes from our old friends peter schiff, Jim Rogers & others, who sucessfully foresaw the crisis in 2008, the world seems to be printing sooo much money, i can see in 2 or 3 years inflation going through the roof, with the huge increase in money supply, all this extra money is surely going to cause inflation... ? Any thoughts ? or is this just over-reaction ?

    So Printing money DOES create inflation ! :)
