document.write("Mike Schussler from T-Sec is an idiot. He is forever the hawk and is time again in the forefront urging the SARB to increase rates or keep them high. If he was a businessman he would soon understand that an interest rate increase is in itself inflationary. It is people like him that are driving people out of their homes and business bankrupts for the sake of out-dated theory. Please do not ask his opinion, it is worth nothing!. F van Kraayenburg");
document.write("INFLATION !!
");
document.write("What is wrong with all you idiots.
You have no competition in any sector.
Prices keep rising, y'all keep buying.
How dumb is that.
Competition is the only solution.
Its natural.
Wake Up!!
Stop buying into this hypocrisy.
Ya gotta wonder where they were educated.
Never mind.
Go get your money back.
They screwed you!!

document.write("I trust Mike Schussler's comments and most of the time, he's spot on. He's one of the best economists in the country which is no wonder that he was voted 'Economist of the year' two years running. He's one in only three economists who can claim that honour. So I say 'go Mike!' primaDona. ");
document.write("I agree that lack of competition in South Africa is the real cause of rampant prices.
");
document.write("No competition in -
Cell phones.
Petrol.
Satalite TV.
Car prices.
Bread.
Beer.
And many more categories.
Set the market free and lets see some real competition to drive down prices.

document.write("Inflation vs Interest Rate
");
document.write("In other countries rates can be used to control inflation. This as we have seen does NOT work in South Africa, simply because we do NOT have enough competitionin food suppliers and anything else you care to name. With no compeition the control mechanism between rates and inflation has no teeth. The same guys just keep upping the price. Consider yourselves now educated - agreed Jack!. AJ");
