Sounds to me that CPI just destroys your argument so you want to discount it and/or ignore it. Here's another one: 1970s were correlated with growing monetary base (M0, M2, whatever) and incredible amounts of inflation. And yet, the stock market and other assets declined. These opinions of yours aren't really from economic data or analysis, but instead from vibes from some kind of blogger / website out there. The permabears or whatnot. I've seen opinions like yours all over the internet, but consistently they fall apart when the actual economic data is looked upon, as we are doing here. The only argument is to ignore economic data (like you're attempting to do with CPI).
