So whenever you have a discussion on the things that may or may not drive inflation it's important to weight them by these weightings that the CPI gives them to actually figure out what the actual impact on how we measure inflation really will be.

The retail price index is a barometer of economic activity.

The price index hit an all time high.

You'll always hear this reported in the news especially if you watch some of the business programming.

The consumer price index has been fluctuating wildly.

And the one that people report whenever they say the CPl went up 2 , they are actually referring to the CPl U.

Plus 80 .

The stock price index was off 200 points yesterday.

The stock price index soared to an all time high.

So this is the CPI that affects the largest number of peoples' pocketbooks.

And I'm going to come back to housing.

Parentheses..first.

So they actually measure it by they take a basket of goods and services and they see how those prices compare to a reference year.

And now I'm going to take the most extreme of all steps.

Although they should be close to each other if they really are indices for measuring the general level of prices.

This is better than the median, because the

(And right here, I actually took a screenshot (from my Bloomberg terminal) of the basket of goods that makes up the Consumer Price Index the index that sets everything from the coupons on Treasury inflation protected securities

And the one that is often used is power law dependent power spectrum, with an exponent of one.

Exponential function

This is odd!

This is the problem that we face, due to the doubling caused by Exponential Growth.

Well, I have to raise it to the second power.

They want us to rewrite it as the product of positive exponents, so they don't like the fact that we have this negative third power and the 5 to the negative second power so you want to rewrite those as negative exponents.

P for parentheses.

Let's calculate how much money we have earned.

Why is that?

I'll do two or three more.

Exponential growth, that's the key here.

If I have the same base 10 right over here, so I can add the exponents.

They want to encourage high volume purchases, and so they have stepped pricing that is oriented to create volume.

We have one more term.

So the second exponent rule I just taught you actually is no different than that first one.

So we are not going to multiply it with a positive exponent of 10

You add the exponents.

In the middle of the routine, because stored memory is precious, they stored things in 16 bit numbers.

So we know the basic trig functions.
