A Night With The Bears - Part II, Roubini says No Inflation.

The night with the bears in Toronto was covered live over Twitter by the Globe and Mail. Twitter is a fabulous tool that has many business uses.

The event was also for chocolate lovers. Sprott have all attendees a chocolate bar with the words Sprott Gold Bullion Fund written across the gold wrapping. SAM's new fund's launched investment objective "is to seek to provide a secure, convenient alternative for investors seeking to hold gold".

Inflation:

Roubini pays no attention to those who argue inflation will return. He says the collapse of global demand, the continuing growth in global supply means that prices and labour costs have nowhere to go except lower. "Deflation is the story we will have to worry about," he said.
