What are your thoughts on the chances of rising inflation?

This article is the second I’ve read lately about the market showing signs of investors anticipating higher inflation. Wondering if the folks here are thinking similarly. The fed’s recent statement is also interesting relative to this topic as they seem to be anticipating inflation above target as well.

I don't think its possible to do $7 trillion in stimulus and not get ridiculous inflation

Indeed, the money supply has increased faster than ever.

I still think deflation poses is far more likely for the time being, and its obviously poses a greater risk than inflation anyways. So for now, I don’t think inflation is a concern.

If interests rates don’t rise with inflation (as seems to be the fed’s intent) an asset bubble seems to be a certainty. A very large bubble.

As long as your money is in assets that will inflate in value/dividends with the market (especially if you borrowed them on a fixed rate) I have no problems with inflation.
Strictly speaking if you KNEW inflation was coming the smartest thing to do would be to get leveraged to the hilt on a fixed rate and rake as the debt devalues.
I do not recommend that, though, because generally things aren’t that simple.

It's already happening if you live in the real world.

Looking for a big problem in 2022.

Good thing about inflation is that it pays down your debts.
I’m brainstorming about going from 15 years left in loan to a 30, I’ll cut my payment in half, and be able to use the money for investments. In 30 years could it be possible that the value of my home be the sum of the principal and interest paid on my home? A net 0 interest rate? Is this crazy talk?

There will absolutely be inflation. Especially since the fed just admitted this much.
Changing their policy to target an “average” rate of 2% means that we can seen 3-5% inflation over the next few years and it will still meet their 2% average target.
I am not optimistic at all. And I think gold and silver are still really cheap when to compared to what they will be cost in five years.
