Syphon you don't understand.
All prices are relative to something. We're just used to pricing everything vs the dollar. My point is that is a flawed assumption, since we can print more.
this would matter if the dollar was on the gold standard
Actually that's exactly why it DOES matter. That's the point!
gold is a good investment right now as it has been increasing in value
And why is that? Inflation.
The point is that the stock market hasn't been doing good when measured against something that Obama can't print. Go ahead, measure it against a gallon of gas, or a loaf of bread.
The price of nearly everything is going up because the dollar is going down. The stock market is no exception. THAT is the point.
