Re : money supply growth / financial asset growth -- I do not have readily available a nice, tidy chart of everything you and I would like to see. But, I am sure it is "in there somewhere" if you start with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve website : federalreserve.gov (or -- possibly in the St. Louis Fed's website) (available @ the Board of Gov ... website) But ... I am pretty sure that money supply (some or all "aggregates") actually FELL roughly 33% during the period around 1929 - 1933 (or maybe it was just 1931 - 1933). Also, money supply went up sharply in late 1999 (due to worries about Y2K), and then fell sharply for a while in early 2000. If you just assume that securities prices follow money supply with a bit of a lag, all three of these periods did do what one would have guessed. Lately, M2 and M3 are growing at around a 12% to 14% or so annual rate (quite fast ...) Jon.
