<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluesboy65, post: 1095539, member: 23329&quot;]Yep, I also love shadow stats and yes, CPI is totally contrived.&nbsp; Interesting point on hedonic adjustments; it is my understaning that it only works one way.&nbsp; If the price goes up by 20% and the quality goes up 30%, the price of the item is said to actually drop by 10%.&nbsp; However, if the price remains the same but the quality goes down (or your seat on the airliner gets smaller) there is no upward adjustment.&nbsp; What a farce!&nbsp; Makes you wonder what conditions will be like if they are ever able to actually find any significant inflation.&nbsp; Keep stacking.&nbsp; The price seems high right now but when silver is upwards of $40 we&#039;ll be bragging about our $28 silver!&nbsp; Did I mention that I like ShadowStats.com?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Bluesboy65[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
