What do you mean by this? Inflation over the past couple decades has come in around 2-3%. The stock market has appreciated by much more.
- iammisc 5y agoReal inflation as measured before the cpi methodology changes in the 90s is likely in the 7-15% range. The government manipulates the basket of goods to 'achieve' low rates. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts In this view, there has been no asset appreciation. It's a myth to quell the masses achieved by manipulating inflation rates.
