I'm not familiar with any of those other sites. I agree with your thoughts on inflation. Without inflation, prices wouldn't go up and employees would have a much harder time getting raises. With inflation, my wife and I can continue to earn raises and since we have a fixed rate mortgage on our house we can pay it down easier with the extra cash if we wanted to go that route. (Of course, the biggest raises come from changing jobs as I need to do soon.) I think the big gray area is how fast should inflation go up. With a fast rise banks are hurt and it would be hard for companies to be taken private or just mergered/bought due to the increased cost of lending. With lower rates the buyer can finance a deal and pay it off easier with the cash flow from the acquired. Kadena, your comments are always welcome and I would love to hear from others too.

Last night my wife told me to search for covered calls and I found Optionsbuddy.com. Good free listing there to look at. I used it and got risky buying 2,000 shares of ENCY at 4.73 to get the 5 stike call for June at .50. The stock is a hair down and I hope I don't go broke on this bio/drug risky play. Technically, chart-wise, seems ok move for one week to me. As far as the dow chart, something funny about inflation to me is that while it slows the economy because we have less to spend, sometimes we forget that inflation in a way fuels growth and greater heights in stocks, etc. by virtue of its ability to stretch and expand the economy and take us from where we were years ago to where we are and where we are going. That is my weird and humble opinion, but I think things will remain bullish and inflation is smaller-sized concern right now. Also, anyone here heard of Bill Barrett, or 1stdaytradinginformation; or swingtrades.com; or redoption.com--i am looking at these guys info for 30 days; or harmontrading.com? Thanks. I searched online for options stuff, glad my wife finally reminded me to put in "covered calls" too. It's a hairy online world out there and I appreciate the sanity here on this blog, but just looking for any words of feedback if anyone has it. I apologize if I listed a site wrong, right now its from memory since i am not at home. May ask about some more later if it's ok.
