Inflation Destruction

The fall in investment value that accompanies derisking and deleveraging out of investments that were formerly inflated by money flows to, and carry trade investing in, high interest paying financial institutions, profitable natural resource companies, and high growth companies. Inflation destruction commenced in Brazil Financials, BRAF, and in the high growth Chinese Small Caps, HAO, in November 2010, and in Coal Producers ANR Resources, ANR, and Arch Coal, ACI in January 2011. Inflation destruction begets more of the same as former vigilant investors turn short sellers, and carry out their attack on their former investment, by going short the 200% ETFs, such as ProShares Ultra Brazil, UBR

Inflation Destruction may precede Debt Deflation which is the contraction and crisis that follows credit expansion. One of the most famous quotations of Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises is from page 572 of Human Action: “There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency involved.”
The Age of Leverage was characterised by debt expansion, credit liquidity, stability, economic growth and expansion and prosperity … and passing into The Age of Deleveraging characterised byinflation destruction, debt deflation, credit ill-liquidity, instability, economic contraction and austerity.

maturity inflation

The increase of the average age to achieve basic financial independence over time. It is similar to currency inflation in that a certain number in one decade is not as valuable in a latter decade.

Maturity inflation rates may vary based on national origin, culture, socioeconomic status, gender, etc.
Back in the 50's, people were adults when they turned 18. In the 90's it was 27, but now days you aren't really an adult until 30. Maturity inflation is a bitch.
