Two Quants and a Financial Planner Understanding the Measurement of Inflation
With the rise of inflation in the past few years, many investors have been paying attention to metrics that they largely ignored for decades. Measures like the CPI and PCE have now become front page news when they are released each month. But despite quoting them all the time, many investors don't understand what goes into them and how they are calculated. In this episode, we try to correct that. We take a deep dive into the metrics that are used to measure inflation and the details behind them. We cover the CPI, PCE and the behind-the-scenes metrics like owner's equivalent rent that go into their calculation. We also look at more real time metrics like Truflation and look at what it all means from both an investing and financial planning perspective.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.
