The CPI was about 170 in 2000. It is now 2000. That's about a 20% increase. How exactly do you get nearly a 100% increase from that?????

As far as "housing bubble burst" is concerned, I used to believe it, but I've been hearing it for so long with so little actually happening, and that going both ways and invariably subject to interpretation, that I no longer give it any credence.

The Dow was very overvalued in 2000. Now it is closer to fair value given recent profits but would be overvalued if a recession is coming and profits will be lower... Oh yes and inflation since 2000 amounts to less than 20%. Though I guess if like some gold bugs you measure inflation by the change in prices in terms of gold :)
