Calling the prise increase in equities a "bull market" does not change the fact that the prise increased.
- QuesnayJr 6y agoCPI includes owner-occupied housing as well, not just rent. If you are going to define bull markets as inflation, then you are ruling out the possibility that the economy can ever just do well. We had a horrible crash a decade ago. In the last couple of years, the economy has done well with record low unemployment. Of course equity prices went up.
