A little thread on some of the most impactful inflation/deflation dynamics moving forward.

* QE infinity
* Supply-shock in many industries
* Housing shortage
* Monopoly formation accelerating
* Construction labor shortage
* Energy demand being underestimated = spike in oil

I was on a flight yesterday thinking about this and I remembered the expression "Minsky Moment" - Stability breeds instability. 1/For those who don't know what that is, a Minsky Moment is a sudden major collapse of asset values which is part of the credit cycle or business cycle. Such moments occur because long periods of prosperity and increasing value of investments lead to increasing speculation.
