"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."

Ahh you said you could purchase the same amount of gas with an asset that increased at the same rate of inflation (1%) well your tank of gas example was 40.40 and you share price is 40.40.

So show us how you convert your share into legal tender to purchase the tank of gas.

Scotttrade charges 7 bucks to do such (which is about the cheapest broker fee going) and that doesn't include the SEC fee.

You said every dollar priced asset dropped at the same rate as inflation. Drop that claim yet?
