Are we in it already?









The Fed shocked the world again with the astonishing news of helping JP Morgan buy Bear Stearns. The Fed chairman has been criticized for intervening too much in this recession-bound economy. A 1970-styled stagflation has been forecast in the media for quite a while. I used to think like that, but now started to change my mind. Given his actions and knowledge of the Great Depression, I believe Ben Bernanke doesn't think the stagflation is coming. Instead, he is preparing for a 1930-styled depression. The question is how bad it is gonna be.
