Ponzi Planet

Another great ticker. The 50/25 week is a fantastic tool. I use it with certain individual stocks as well. Great advice once again.

It's a PONZI ECONOMY and it already HAS collapsed. Now they need more ponzi!

The counterargument to this point usually comes from those who argue that inflation means you need to adjust those targets. This sounds good except that inflation hits costs as well as profits, and the common law of business balance means that 10% inflation will always hurt your costs more than it helps your profits

Doesn't this mean that deflation would help costs more than "hurt" profits?
