Inverted Real Yields vs. Gold
... The real yield measures the actual return of a bond or any interest-bearing asset adjusted for inflation. If a bond yields 5 percent, but the inflation rate is 6 percent, the real yield on that bond is negative. In such cases, inflation has reduced the value of the asset by more than it yielded. Lik ...

The Quantity Theory of Money
... Example of Crude QTOM If the money supply is increased by 15% (remembering level of GDP assumed to be fixed), this will mean that there is MORE money in circulation chasing the same quantity of goods. This in turn bids up prices as the purchasing power of each dollar falls. The end result will ...
