Deflation and inflation have been a common topic of debate now for sometime. Economists can argue both ways as the country has seen a little of both over the past two years.

Inflation Worries?
It's Human Nature
James B. Bell, CFA
Managing Money For You and Your Family
Americans have certainly felt the pain of deflation in regard to their home values and 401k balances. On the flip side, consumers continue to feel inflationary pressures when it comes to healthcare, food prices and insurance premiums. The most recent economic data suggests the U.S. economy is emerging from the economic slump without spurring inflation.
I recently re-read “The Fortune Tellers”, a book written in 2000 by Washington Post reporter Howard Kurtz. It is an insider’s look at how the technology boom of the late 1990s played in the stock market and
in the media. Since the book was written during that era, it offers no benefit of hindsight as it discusses companies and business models that sometimes are laughable in retrospect. I vividly remember the intense interest and often outlandish justifications that were offered for these companies that could reshape the economy and our lives.
