RUT has a similar weekly pitchfork origin - april 2013 spread - june 2014 - high and oct 2014 This too has been carrying the market higher Boston is experiencing the same displacement you mention Our real estate markets rebounded quickly - led by rental prices Today, you'd never know anything ever happened - except there are far less small business. 20 years ago in Boston the lower middle class and even middle class prospects of living within Boston - much less owning a house - was destroyed when legislation was pushed through that overturned a cap on rent increases tied to inflation. It set off an explosion of activity that ultimately forced out everyone except students who could belly up 3 to renal unit - Yes, buildings got renovated but rent went as high as the market could bare. At the time my friends rent went from $800 to $3,500 in 3 years - they moved further out and commute an hour plus each way when they use to walk to work. Infrastructure around Boston has improved and within as well - but the growth has been absurd. Harvard and MIT etc etc - have turned this area into premier bio-tech and start up heaven - with similar effects as San Fran - everyone wants to be here I believe the measures for inflation and stock valuations needs to be revised because of the enormous amount of money pumped into the economy. Old principals don't function correctly - Schiller should revise - inflation is non existent and stocks are actually under valued if you make adjustments. Forget about gold and inflation Think about it - what is an actual dollar worth today. Just my thoughts... fwtw
