How the Consumer-Price Index Measures Inflation | WSJ

[@Amanda5ycl]

The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market precisely when the news is most negative and investor sentiment reaches its lowest point.

[@BrunoMota90]

For the average person, the strategies are fairly demanding. In actuality, most professionals who have the necessary abilities and knowledge to complete such occupations do so successfully.

[@MayHuang3]

The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market

[@MuyangHappy]

nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@MayHuang3]

My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.. .

[@NotyourBusiness-urto6]

You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit, but in order to execute such effective transactions, you must be a skilled practitioner.>

[@MiddleclassAmerican-7220]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.

You did not explain whether the monthly reported CPI number is percentage change over the previous month, or over the same month one year ago. So for example, if the November CPI is 7%, does that mean the basket of goods is 7% more expensive than October? Or does it mean that the basket of goods is 7% more than a cost last November?

[@grimaffiliations3671]

depends if your looking at month over moneth data or year over year data. If it's as high as 7% its probably year over year

9% inflation.. Strange. Doesn't feel like I am paying $109 for the same stuff that then used to cost $100.. Definitely is a LOT more than that. Add it all up and easily 20-25% higher over all expenditure for us.

[@yokeo]

Its the annual percentage, so its its 8% a few years in a row yes within a few years your 100$ is about 120-130$

[@Cakebattered]

Nah. Consumer prices have rising well over 9% in 2021 or 2022. CPI is simply wrong.

[@mikahundin]

1. The official inflation rate reported by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) significantly understates the actual inflation experienced by consumers. The CPI tracks the price of a "basket of goods and services" intended to represent average consumer spending, but the methodology has been altered over time in ways that hide the true effects of inflation. 2. In the 1980s, the Federal Reserve began changing the CPI calculation to allow for substitution of cheaper, lower-quality alternatives when prices of certain goods rise faster than others. This means the CPI no longer accurately tracks the cost of maintaining a constant standard of living, as it was originally intended to do. 3. If the CPI were calculated using the same methodology as in the 1980s, the current inflation rate in the United States would be around 18% - nearly double the 9.1% officially reported for June 2022. This would be even higher than the worst periods of the late 1970s/early 1980s inflation crisis. 4. The Federal Reserve's motivation for altering the CPI calculation method may be more sinister than simply hiding their own culpability in the current economic turmoil. It could be to protect their preferred mechanisms for manipulating the economy, such as monetary policy tools. 5. The massive gap between the true, unacknowledged inflation rate and the official CPI is so severe that it could potentially lead to scenarios akin to the hyperinflation experienced in countries like Zimbabwe, where prices can literally change before a consumer reaches the checkout line.

Sure, blame the guy asking for a 2$ an hour raise for inflation, and not the company that earned 2 billion $ extra for the quarter.

[@peterbelanger4094]

To cover costs for the higher pay, prices go up, causing more people to ask their bosses for more pay, justifying even higher prices. Both parties are responsible. And not all business are gluttonous huge corporations. Small business makes relatively little profit and HAS to raise their prices if their employees want more. Big corporations can afford to pay more, raising the bar for that whole sector and push competition out of the market. Small business ends up suffering for the deeds of large corporations. People get angry and blame one monolithic corporation bad guy stereotype, when reality is not like that.

[@8aravindk]

@@peterbelanger4094 If only we could somehow make corporations that make more money pay their fair share. I don't know maybe something like an income tax.

[@Cakebattered]

Worker compensation has been flat for the past 50 years. CEO Pay and corporate stock buybacks have risen in the same time period. How come no one ever asks what effect they have in product prices?
