wrong, why buy anything today if prices are falling and will be lower tomorrow!! Deflation=depression
you would anticipate inflation and deflation incorrectly making your business inefficient thus it is far better to anticipate correctly that inflation and deflation will be 0
Deflation is only a bad thing in a debt fueled economy where debt servicing costs grow exponentially, destroying capital, destroying true price discovery, destabilizing the economy and triggering large market crashes and deflation This is a problem of a debt based economy, not deflation
Unless you match production and consumption perfectly, which is impossible, there will always be oscillations.
Traders maybe, but even they can't predict bottoms. Rising trends end because some traders bail and some begin to short the market, the converse is true of declining markets. If everyone behaved as you claim, there would never be trend reversals. Every falling trend would go to zero and every rising trend would go to infinity. This did not happen before a central bank and it would not happen if the FED ceased to exist
The fact that people buy technology today that they know will be cheaper next year sort of refutes this statement.
obviously you need to buy some things today to survive regardless of what the price will be tomorrow but you do not need to buy all things today. Certainly adding deflation to the reasons for not buying Technologywhich would help create a depression
with tens of thousands of products on the market from all over the world production and consumption are being adjusted on a minute by minute basis in a capitalist economy so there are no supply demand mismatches. When the mismatches occur as far more likely to be caused by government intervention than by the international free market which adjusts on a moment to moment basis
if it’s a trend that means it’s noticeable. If it’s noticeable deflation it will discourage not encouraged buying
Capitalism is self-adjusting. It adjusts to changes in prices. I oppose libcommiesocialist attempts to manipulate capitalism.
in reaction to too much buying, but the trends end, as they always do, returning price discovery and purging malinvestment.
and deflation is an adjustment to the inflation that preceded it, restoring honest price discovery and purging mfalinvestment caused by credit expansion.
Yeah, no kidding. Capitalist when you're winning, big government nanny state backstop when you screw up. Sounds like he was trained by Jamie Dimon
Seriously, the fifth plank of the communist manefesto is the savior of capitalism, preventing those deadly recessions that wipe out the results of the fake capitalists' business screw ups
