"Assets don't get counted in inflation numbers"

I was just pondering the same thing today.

Somehow home price appreciation, and the "wealth effect" it creates, and the spending that in turn stimulates - aren't accounted for in the measurements.

Yet the "inflation" of the stock market in 2000 appeared to have had a more direct effect on the economy than any other indicator.

And the "deflation" of the stock market in 2002 led to marked lowering of interest rates.
