you are quite right. that's why i keep posting the price charts of energy complex components. many are at new highs, and there will be no choice eventually but to pass increasing input costs on to the consumer. note also that the dollar will likely have a weak spell for a while...the parabola seems to have been seriously dented today. so we will see rising import prices as well, which gives domestic producers some latitude with price increases. credit spreads are also widening by the day, and apparently the below investment grade debt markets are in a particularly illiquid state right now. so it is not a time to be complacent about equities...the stock market still underestimates what the Fed will need to do imo, and many seem to think it's 1994. well, it ain't.
