1) Debasement (though it might seep into Variable Goods/Services as a inflation -> small%) isn't really a inflation thing.
I.E debasement commenced in 2008 but really took off in 2013, this hasn't really impacted the price of goods and services, but has exploded assets prices, this is because the funds sit on the balance sheets of Governments and is rehypothecated within the markets by its derivative (bonds/coupons etc) which is mixed and mingled with asset bonds/coupons, and seeps into Global Liquidity and from there into asset markets, hence price of a house when my grandmother bought in 1947 was 500 pounds, grandfather in 1977 17,000 pounds, father in 1995 66,000 pounds and myself in 2010 1180,000 pounds, the same house today laid out
Grandmother 1.1m
Grandfather 1.3m
Father 600,000
Me 450,000
The debasement coupled with demand / supply imbalances and location demand drive the prices of assets, note mine was outside of the Capital, my father also, the other two much further afield, so even though they repriced with the inflation period(s) they didn't reprice well with the debasement periods, hence you get an averaged -2.5% real-estate loss against debasement (though it outperforms inflation) due to the imbalance - naturally - debasement socialises the cost of the debt on income earners and rewards asset owners as the prices price the avg people into higher debts for the same property/asset(s) or into poverty as they are not able to obtain a foothold.
Now when it comes to the S&P/SPX that has massively outperformed inflation - granted but that's only 2% (or 4%) YoY, whereas debasement is 8% so at 10.26 annualised that's sub 2.x% against debasement but because there's periods of high growth it can be considered flat, or at worse -future self, poorer than current self in spending power (real) ergo optical illusion 'number go up'..
Nasdaq has high draw downs, but it also has high draw ups 26k for example is the expected by end of 2025 currently its 18.5k the support for Nasdaq is it is technology and technology displaces the real world impact of declining population, therefore productivity, it's also in a 45-65 month cyclical trend.
- Just on this "I believe in 50 years from now - that's my field, i can't talk about the rest of that statement except saying - leave - it won't be 50 yrs, it will gutter blue collar and white collar industries like a cheese grater... it is already...
