"My example proved your claim from post #85 was incorrect. I didn't want to pile on. You already admitted your error."

From post 85: " any asset that is valued in Dollars suffers the same loss..."

What is so hard to understand about this toddster, You have indeed agreed with the premise that any asset loses the same 1% inflation per dollar, this is a true statement.

Where did I make that claim?

Right here in Post 125: "My share purchases exactly a tank of gas, no matter what the rate of inflation."

If your share does this then explain how you go about it. First you must convert your share to legal tender and as soon as you do you most pay fees to the SEC your broker and of course Uncle Sam wants his due on Capital gains. So now your share of 40.40 has at least lost 7 or more bucks trading in your share.

So lets us review first you claimed I said Assets won't increase in value, I never claimed such I claimed (and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt)n all of the dollars he mentioned would suffer the same loss in inflation. He was trying to minimize the loss on inflation by pulling out a large part of the assets.

Next you claim that your investment will not lose purchasing power and be able to purchase the same tank of gas which as we both know isn't close to being true.

No. Wrong.

When inflation is 1%, every dollar loses 1%. Not every dollar asset loses 1%, as you originally claimed in post #85.

further destroy your claim of "purchasing power is not reduced by inflation" on assets other than cash.

Where did I make that claim?

Right here in Post 125: "My share purchases exactly a tank of gas, no matter what the rate of inflation."

So I never said "purchasing power is not reduced by inflation"? Thanks.

I don't have to go about it. My example merely shows your original claim was incorrect.

You're not sticking with your claim, "Trying to separate out CASH from REAL assets in attempt to show less of a monetary loss is not only mildly amusing it would give any CPA worth his salt a severe case of the giggles being that any asset that is valued in Dollars suffers the same loss, are you?

Uncle Sam wants his due on Capital gains. So now your share of 40.40 has at least lost 7 or more bucks trading in your share.

OMG! The share that I bought for $40 and sold for $40.40 is losing $7? You've got more math problems than I thought.

you claimed I said Assets won't increase in value

No, I showed that you said all assets priced in dollars lose the same amount as the inflation rate.

all of the dollars he mentioned would suffer the same loss in inflation.

Yes, we agree all dollars lose the same, not all dollar priced assets.
