@ga-boy, I am not sure QE will be a cause of inflation next year. QE money has inflated the stock market, the housing market, and loaded the corporate balance sheet with debt. A crash in the stock market paired with a drop in housing prices could actually make the QE money disappear. Shrinking 401k/IRAs, less equity in the house (or being underwater altogether), defaults on corporate debt would all have a negative effect on prices. Not to mention that a downturn in the economy could see Trump tariffs being reduced because we would need cheap Chinese products and would need to bump up any export we can.
My two cents. Not that you get better info from the real economists anyway. 🙂
