RE:Inflation numbersI highly recommend a listen to Prof Jeremy Siegel 's interview on CNBC a couple minutes ago. I've found him to be the best economic commentator out there, for awhile now. He once again hammered away at the housing component of CPI, explaining that the .8% is way over-stated, as it's a very lagging indicator, and if a better measure was used, core CPI would have actually dropped last month. "Inflation's essentially over" to paraphrase his quote, and stocks, especially value ones such as industrials, should do well. Fantastic food for thought.
