I love the chart which purports to show the correlation between money supply and inflation. Anybody else think it looks totally random? Except that he selected a nine month lag to make the peak line up.

What's your understanding as to the source of inflation in an economy?

An increase of nominal money in an economy creates competition over the same limited quantity of goods which causes a rise in prices. AKA when money is cheap (low interest), people borrow more, which becomes spending, which leads to increased demand (and usually inflexible supply), etc.

There appears to be correlation to me. Not perfect. But far from random

The dollar is waaaay over valued right now, by at least 30%. The Euro is also undervalued. Eventually there will be corrections.

Let’s hope no one looks at the Yen.

They've literally done that though -- look at all the on-paper profits that have disappeared from the crypto, stock, real estate markets... Look also at the fact that you've already started paying more $ for the same essential products and don't expect them to go below today's levels...

That money's not gone, it's simply moved from suckers and rubes upwards.

That's not how unrealized profits work. If your stock was up 10x and now down to 1x, nobody made money from you
