That’s just because most of the QE/money printing from the FED went to equity and real estate inflation, instead of just giving money directly to the citizens (e.g. about $20k per citizen was spent on the stimulus).


What has been the amount of devaluation in USD, post covid?

Is there a ready number we can just plugin to recalculate the value of one's assets?

For example, if I held 100usd worth of a stock in March 2020, what would its worth be in Jan 2021, just due to currency devaluation?


That’s an interesting question, because different assets are inflating at different rates...

Also, we are in a new experiment where every government is trying to devalue at the same time to prop up their covid economies.
