Quote of the Month- "Who Said it?"
Dear Subscriber:
Welcome to the August 2008 Financial Trend Forecaster and InflationData.com e-Trends Newsletter.
Bad News! Inflation is up again from 5.02% last month to 5.6% this month. As I've said many times, 5% inflation is the turning point, above that level inflation becomes painful and more noticeable and it begins to stifle the economy. But there is a glimmer of hope, Oil has moved down a bit and the MIP is predicting a drop in inflation next month.
This fits in well with this month's article on oil. The Dollar, Oil and Airlines Plus we have several other new articles this month. See below to find out more...
I hope you will find them interesting and helpful.
Best Wishes,
Tim
