'When we take 1999 as a starting point, in real terms, the Dow is at 6500 right now, since the dollar has lost at least 50% of its value in that time. As far as interest rates, it doesn't matter. Bondholders will be wiped out sooner or later, even if somehow bond yields drop to 3%.' First part I agree with. However if the fed tries to protect the dollar at these levels and needs to raise interest rates and (or) Chinese redeploy capital away from US T bonds in a booming economy that can't be good for the DOW.
