Before someone jumps in with "assent inflation", that's not the same thing. Just because you can use same word does not make it so.<p>Inflation as increase in consumer prices, is linked to unemployment, economic activity, wages etc. in a way that stock prices or property values are not.
In my opinion I think inflation is coming sooner than we think. With the 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus and other stimulus bills with large amounts of money printing and large bailouts it's only a matter of time until the dollar starts to decrease and inflation soars.
