The emphasis on “NOT” in the title of this article is critical to a better understanding of what inflation is – and isn’t.  We hear  all the time: “Inflation rose sharply last month as consumer prices increased by .6%”, or something similar.

In October, I was calling for a major low, and a rally to the 4300+ region. At the time, most of the market was expecting much lower, mostly based upon the worse-than-expected CPI report published that month. Yet, that news actually ignited the 20% rally off the low...
