Cost push and demand pull springs to mind.

There are some elements of living here (Helensburgh, Scotland) that can't be defined using currency. One of my all time favourite films Local Hero springs to mind. From: You appear to have found your sangri la, good luck.

Well spotted.... could be a squid trap. Reminds me of their call for $200 oil when it was at $147!

Some "insiders" i.e. members of the Fed regional boards are also in opposition to more stimulus.

I've been thinking about subscribing to Patrick Cox's newsletter devoted to picking promising biotech stocks, he comes recommended by John Mauldin. It's expensive but I'd be using it to get into as many free trades as possible with small amounts of capital then sitting on them in the hope of hitting one or more big success stories.

Japanese people having been hoarding yen for many years in the "tansu ginko" (chest of draws bank) at the same time as the BOJ has been financing "bridges to no where", whilst it has had - as the worlds 3rd or is it 4th biggest exporting country? - a world outside it's borders in a debt fuelled boom. No crack up boom there. Japans' bubble burst about 20 years ago, how do you see it being any different in the west.

That may be happening already. I wrote to the tax office on 9th March just gone to inform them of a change of address and circumstances. I always write to ensure my communication is recorded in black and white and I keep a copy. Not having received a reply I checked my copy letter to ensure their address, my NI and tax reference were all correct. These were in order so I wrote a follow up letter enclosing a copy of the original on 20 April. Now coming up to three months since my original letter and I still don't have a reply! I will ring them next week but it does make one wonder what is going on. While I'm here IRS you wrote somewhere back I think in this thread that inflation can be created by those that have the money or words to that effect. Could you elaborate on that please.

Just completed an iregular flat correction and embarking on the next 5 wave impulse, next stop $1276.

Looks like another test of the BO area around $1230 (nice and healthy) and then on to $1250 ish. Don't expect to see much more than a 23.6% pull back at this stage.

Retest of the break out possible now.. then on to $1247

Right on cue, this is looking like it's going to be one HELLUVA run up, the third wave appears to be subdividing again today!! Let the power of third waves be with you.

Looks to me we're in a third wave which is further subdividing(third of a third), if that's the case then we're in for a negligle retracement/consolidation followed by a fast and furious move higher next week... is it 1979 again?

I'm also on a free trade/investment here with a small holding after pulling out my principle and dealing commissions.

Thanks, I read through it but ended looking likethis guy on the Investorshub page:
