Actually an inflation is not a bad thing at all, if your money is less worth tomorrow you are more likely to spend it today thus you help the market grow which at the end pays you back. If we had a deflation, everyone would sit on their money and nothing would happen, thats a real loss.

However, I don't agree with JCL on his point with the market is not a no-zero game, thats exactly what it should be. Remember the bank crisis 2009? We should have let all of them die, because this is how the market works. You risk money if you want more, but if you lose, you should really lose instead of being saved by whatever. What do you think happens now? I as a bank manager would start the next money risking adventure right away, risking even more money if possible because I know, if I lose, someone will help me out. Thats a problem and it needs to be fixed and not exploited.
