That's a good long range plan from Mark - I'm trying to position my oceanic to benefit.

 

[KevinD]

What will you do when

Fed plans to nip inflation in the bud by sending hundreds of billions of liquidity $'s to "money heaven" by engineering a precipitous decline.

Then

If it's fast enough, it won't fee much money at all from stocks (which could then go into more inflationary assets), but rather trap that excess liquidity in stocks for the foreseeable future.

 

[Birchtree]

It's all speculation - but one needs to prepare for some inflation and increased interest rates. The stock market will be on the move to much higher levels and I'll be there with my open hands.

 

[KevinD]

You're right. It IS speculation. I should have asked "What will you do IF..." not when. But that would be a good way to mop up all that liquidity...

 

[Birchtree]

You have to own a hefty block of commodity stocks and shares of companies that can increase their prices to maintain their margins and payouts. We could be four or five years away from any significant pressure from inflation - that provides plenty of time to build the portfolio for the next business cycle. I've already been through numerous inflationary cycles over the years - so it's all in the long range preparation.

Interesting the FED is driving investors toward the stock market. But this administration plans on increasing capital gains and dividends tax which will drive investors out of the stock market.

Interesting hypothesis...

[RealMoneyIssues]

You forget that the [Obama] folks will be history.

I'd put money down that he is re-elected.... what are the odds?

 

[MaStA]

I'd put money down that he is re-elected.... what are the odds?

As much as I don't want him re-elected, I'm quite worried that he will be. The GOP candidates aren't the best to choose from and there is no clear winner and someone that really stands out. My logic has always been if the USA didn't want you the first time you ran then why would we want you now? Romney lost the primary last time and he may win it this time, but I dont know if it's going to be enough to beat Obama.

 

[MaStA]

I believe that at this point that anyone of the candidates are better than [obama]
my opinion,

I agree and I just hope more Americans see it that way instead of re-electing him for another term. I'm just worried with all of the controversy and flip flopping our current GOP candidates seem to be doing that we may see a second term Obama.

 

[SteelSaving]

Well there is one candidate who doesn't flip flop.
Oh, but he's unelectable... even though he is the only one (besides Romney) who has been polled as having a chance to beat Obama.
