Does that sound like a man who thinks that money supply is inflation.

Yes it does. The Fed can't control where it goes. In this case it went into asset prices more than anything else.

"If inflation is money supply then you could hardly have a large increase in money supply and no inflation."

That, in fact, was the flaw in Milton Friedman's analysis: he did not anticipate the acceleration in productivity that outran increases in money supply in the 1980s and 1990s. According to Friedman's figures, there should have been more inflation than there turned out to be.
