I stumbled it and included it in my blog carnival.

Welcome to the March 10, 2008 edition of carnival of making real money. Some how out of 66 submissions, I was able to find only 16 that I thought were appropriate for this carnival. So without further ado, I present these in the carnival… Thanks …

There used to be a gold standard that prevented banks from printing money and prices did not change (in fact, dropped) for ONE HUNDRED YEARS in 19th century USA…creating huge wealth (savers actually maintained their purchasing power).

Listening to Peter Schiff (www.europac.net), I can’t see why banks really need to print so much money. I think the rule now is to print as much money as the economic growth rate so you have ‘price stability’. But if no (or very less) money is printed, then prices of everything drops…and apparently this is ‘deflation’ and is labeled bad for economy.

However, how could dropping prices in a broad range of consumer goods be a bad thing? Increased productivity has brought the prices of computers way down…savers keep their power…a huge plus for us all.

Yes, typical supply and demand causes prices to rise. However, recently due to banks trying to sustain the US, money has been printing ~20% rate worldwide (US doesn’t even publish M3 anymore!)….isn’t it any wonder inflation is getting exponentially worse?

can you provide me simple examples where to invest that money?

i am looking for long-term goals, medium-risk and average or higher return.

thanks

what would you do if you have apt. mortage (45K) and cash 45K?

would you pay the debt in lump sum and expect passive income from renting

or

invest that cash into other investment vehicle, such as UT

thanks
