We found rampant asset inflation around most every corner. Frankly, it was not difficult to find. The Fed either needs to re-tool its definition of inflation or be transparent about the fact that it is working diligently to promote the wealth effect.
Here are a few asset bubbles as measured from the market trough in mid-March through November 9th. All are well above the Fed’s 2% average inflation target:
- NASDAQ Composite Index (IXIC): 70%
- S&P 500 Index: 59%
- Russell 2000 Index (RUT): 68%
- S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index: 4%
- Bitcoin (BTC): 209%
- Federal Reserve Assets: 67%
- Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index: 29%
- Gasoline Index: 16%
