>having a different opinion politely expressed
Do you honestly think you're expressing a different opinion by stating that everything is mostly bad? I'd say you're comfortably in the internet majority.
>I'd like a stat that was EBIDTA of the S&P 500, inflation adjusted against the real money supply, over the past 30 years.

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoThat's not quite what MCRed asked for. He/she asked for "inflation adjusted against the real money supply". Elsewhere in the post MCRed also said something about the real money supply. I think the background idea is that "real inflation" = "change in the real money supply". But that's wrong, because the economy changes size, too. That is, if I start a company and make some stuff, the economy is now bigger than it was. If the number of dollars doesn't increase, then the value of each dollar has to increase, so prices go down - deflation. What the Fed is trying to do is keep the value of the dollar (relatively) constant, rather than keep the number of dollars constant. So I think MCRed's request (to the degree that it differed from your answer) is based on a mistaken idea...
