That put the annual pace at 2.3 percent -- the fifth straight month that prices gains topped 2 percent. ``The ironic thing is that people are looking at the core rate' both in today's report and a producer price report Friday, said Robert McHenry, a portfolio manager who oversees international bonds at Hartford Investment Management Co., or Himco, in Hartford, Connecticut. ``It's like saying if you take out inflation, there's no inflation.' Investors also questioned the accuracy of today's report, saying it doesn't reflect the increasing costs of goods and services they're seeing around them. ``People are now questioning whether CPI is measuring things correctly,' said Patrice Milton, who helps invest $6 billion at Bradford & Marzec Inc. in Los Angeles and is poised to sell Treasuries on any rallies. She cited the fact that the report said housing prices rose only 0.2 percent in the month, while home resales are on pace to surpass last year's record.` quote.bloomberg.com.
