    Gumby questions that I'm not getting my head around at the moment, thoughts appreciated.

    With all the money that is being put into circulation at the moment to prop up businesses & individuals what is the likely medium to long term impact on the buying power of a dollar ?

    If inflation starts to increase what levers do the government have left to pull to keep it under control?

    With property prices through the roof and many people leveraged to very high levels what is likely to occur if interest rates increase?

    To me, the stock market appears to be defying gravity. Is my take on this completely off the mark ? Is some of the buoyancy caused by returns on cash & fixed interest being low ?

    I've heard the term Quantitative Tightening which apparently allows money to be pulled out of circulation. How does this work?

    Thanks in advance.
