With the markets getting pummeled day after day, it appears that the deflation bird has once again cawed its way from the dead into the pole position.  It’ll be interesting to see if gold and/or silver wake up a bit, on anticipation that Bernanke will start to reach for the CTRL + P command (hat tip Dr. Evil for the hilarious analogy).
