Lyn Alden: will we get inflation or deflation? What happens now to gold and stocks

Monetary stimulus broke records this year as the Federal Reserve launched infinite quantitative easing, but in a low interest rate environment, monetary policy is less important than fiscal policy in determining asset prices, said Lyn Alden, founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy.

The last time the federal deficit as a percentage of gross domestic product was this high was in World War 2 in the 1940s, a rapid increase in inflation followed, albeit not immediately.
