Surely money printing increases the value of equities, and decreases the value of the dollar. The markets will do just fine. It's the common person who will suffer from decreased purchasing power. Of course, very high levels of inflation are damaging to an economy but there's zero indication of anything like that.
- landemva 5y agoWhile the price may increase, how does rampant money printing increase the value of a share of stock?
- zarzavat 5y agoYou are correct, I meant the price denominated in US dollars. Whether or not the value would rise or fall relative to X other asset is down to the market conditions in X.
- voakbasda 5y agoNot sure how anyone thinks inflation is not seeing a huge increase. I have been looking at building a garage and prices have jumped over 25% in the last couple of years. Same jump with heavy equipment like bulldozers. Everywhere I look, prices are up at least 20% across the board from two years ago.
