This is a reminder for tonight's event - if you would like to come and
have not yet rsvp'd, please send me an email directly.
I'm giving a presentation tonight on the topic of "Inflation or
Deflation" that builds on a report I wrote a quarter ago (
http://www.merkinvestments.com/archive-by-date/2003/2003-07-01.en.html
). This topic is very much on people's minds, and so it should as
seismic changes are under way.
If you are around, you are cordially invited to join. I will be around
after the presentation for questions not covered during the talk. The
event is sponsored by the German American Business Association of
California and will be given at 7pm tonight, in Palo Alto. For details,
please see the attached invitation. As this is election day, there will
also be live coverage of the recall. This promises to be a very
exciting evening.,

Description: The word 'deflation' has made it to the front pages of
both European and US newspapers. But which one is it - deflation,
inflation, maybe both, that we need to worry about? What happens if the
Federal Reserve Bank and the US administration try to force the economy
away from deflationary symptoms through monetary and fiscal policy? How
will the European Central Bank react?
What can you do as an individual or a business to position yourself in
this environment. Should you take advantage of the low interest rates
to leverage yourself, or should you try to lower your debt in this
environment? Should you be concerned about your Dollar or Euro exposure?
We will explain in simple terms how today's risks are different from
what we are traditionally used to, and recommend simple steps to be
prepared for the interesting times we live in.
