Inflation is Evident If You Just Follow the Money

One quick note about this: there is obviously plenty of inflation in the prices you pay every day. But most consumer price indices are rigged to understate inflation, as our colleague David Evans pointed out yesterday in Canberra at the Gold Standard Institute conference in Canberra.

    Two guys hold BHP stock...

    They both bought $10,000 worth of shares on the same day in 2004.

    Five years later they meet to compare notes.

    Investor one has turned his $10,000 into $32,800.

    But investor two has managed to turn his $10,000 into $45,000.

    Naturally, investor one wants to know his secret...

    Three more "Thin Air" plays are being set up as you read this.
