| #8 Also.... if Coke gets 10 bucks a 6 pack... why should it bother you? It doesn't bother me they make a profit. It bothers me when weenies cry the sky is falling when Coke can't sell it at $10 a pack or has to go down in price to match competition and whine that its a 'Crisis'(tm) that requires 'Action'(tm) because its deflation. |

| #6 It's not gauging if you buy it P2K. You can go years without cola, perhaps a lifetime. Also.... if Coke gets 10 bucks a 6 pack... why should it bother you? |

| #5 A lot of people are not buying Pepsi products because of their CEO and their new symbol. |

| #4 When does price cuts on over priced items become deflation? De-gauging is not deflation. Why is a 12 pack of Coke 4.40 and a 12 pack of Pepsi 3.80? Either Coke's operating costs are really out of whack or they're making a real nice mark up compared to Pepsi. If it is simply mark up, who says they're entitled to that level of mark up, if the market decides to buy Pepsi instead? |

| #2 You can have credit driven deflation and monetary inflation at the same time. |

| #1 Annual inflation was down, monthly inflation was up. We have probably past the bottom on the inflation cycle and it's up, up and away from here on in, as every country cranks up the printing presses. |
