Inflation, Your Money & Surprising Shift in Silver Forecast….$40 Silver This Year?

There is always a lag between money printing and the ultimate effect of higher consumer prices. I can’t vouch for the estimate, but I once heard Ed Dowd say that that lag was typically about 18 months. That seems long to me, but there was also the velocity-deadening effect of lockdowns to take into account, so in that particular case I would bet that 18 months isn’t a bad guess. There were massive supply chain disruptions. People didn’t really get back to normal consumption habits until the end of 2021 or into 2022.
