Rising asset prices don't count as inflation to you?
- mrep 6y agoNot OP, but I don't see any data suggesting that assets are inflating. For real estate, inflation adjusted price per square foot hasn't changed for most of the US [0] (west coast admittedly has ballooned but that's because their cities are built in valleys with a fixed amount of land and restrictive zoning causing a fixed amount of housing and thus bidding up home prices; not a problem for most of the country though). As for equities, Annualized S&P 500 Return (Dividends Reinvested) from 2005-2020 are 6.738% [1] versus 7.690% for 1990-2005 [1]. Or are you talking about another asset?
