Numbers don't lie but their use can be shaped to say anything you want

Well my main point was the shipping of a statue that was over $975 not the statue itself. I confronted Sideshow because I was concerned that the shipping quote was an error. Yeah it's not their fault true or false who in their right mind would pay that much shipping for a statue that was priced under $600 It also cracked me up that sideshow just cancelled it and sent me an email saying due to the amount for shipping it would be in your best interest for us to cancel your order. I was thinking bastards just give me free shipping for the damn wait I Endured lol (Jokes) Well they gave me my deposit back. But it wasn't until when I saw a few videos on how big the box was. One guy I'm 100% sure could put himself inside it.

I don't think you can use the phrase "your guys' educational system" and simultaneously slam someone's intelligence haha.

And no, of course production and labor costs have increased overseas which has led to an increase in prices, however, not many of the other statue companies have nearly doubled their price in the last three years. I don't find any fault in a company charging the most they can but let's not act like Sideshow isn't padding prices on top of the increased costs.

Some companies also don't pay for the top factories either

Is the a company that goes by there initials and starts with a p? Haha

Just ignore this. Posted something in the completely wrong thread. I'm an Idiot.

I blame your guys' education system.

It amazes me how uninformed the general public is in regards to actual inflation

The stock index of China has gone up 31% in the past 5 years

So.... to gauge inflation better realize that a $400 commodity back in 2012 will now cost $526 in 2017 dollars.

No Sideshow doesn't control the world's financial systems or influence it one bit.

FYI the US stock exchange is up 81% in the same period

Not sure where you came up with this, but stock indices are not a direct reflection of price inflation for commodities. Yes Chinese and US stock markets are up nicely, but core inflation in the US and China has run ~2% per year

CPI is not entirely accurate... and like someone asserted " the numbers can be manipulated".

Whereas when you look at empirical evidence such as the stock indexes you can infer OBVIOUS trend.

it's rather simple

Interest rates are low ( and have remained low for the past 10 years almost).
As a result
More TEND (not always) borrow money so they can spend

the more you spend the more inflation.

The opposite is true in hyper - deflation (oddly people are under the impression this would be a better scenario when in fact it's the worst).

It doesnt take a genius to determine we are living in an economic expansion (or at least in the past 10 years).

Inflation has gone up kids...

The stock market is an obvious indicator of that.

It amazes me how often people refute common facts.

As if 1 + 1 doesnt equal two.

You can spin all you want, but you initially stated "that something in 2012 that cost $400 now costs $526 because the Chinese stock market is up 31%." That is complete fabrication on your part... stock market performance may be correlated to inflation but it is not a direct measure like you made it out to be...

"stock market is up 31% hence prices are up 31%" where did you get your MBA LOL!!

An amusing page or two. The stock market / inflation / blah blah blah has very little to do with escalating prices as far as statues are concerned. The good factories in China have jacked up their prices and SS has also jacked up its profit margins. That has more to do with it than anything else.

This sums it up. Those who imports stuff from China will know. Price have gone up, but not that much. What other line of business increases their price on each item every 2-3 month?

 

[Rulk]

Oh so the price of plastic resin silver gold precious metals have only gone up by 2% per annum the past 10 years?


How ridiculous is that. Costs have gone up in China more than 2% so explain that genius.

Yes the indices are better metrics at looking at inflation than the CPI because the Reserve looks at stabilizing prices for necessities such as food not commodities.

Value stocks thrive in these environments whereas growth stocks suffer

Why is it that one sector such as transportation is expected to be affected by inflation and not another such as manufacturing

The indices are a broad aggregate of ALL sectors and businesses afffected by the same macroeconomic environment.

Duh

Regardless of the various permutations being thrown around these days, the correct possessive of you guys is you guys’, spoken or written, and I quote (emphasis mine):

To form the possessive case of a plural noun ending in s, add only the apostrophe.

EXAMPLES

highways’ intersection
the beetles’ legs
John E. Warriner, Warriner's English Grammar and Composition (Orlando, FL: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986), 243
Since you guys is a plural noun, it is subject to the above rule, which has no exception, as far as I know.

Indeed, you guys's is not an uncommon colloqiualism (I have even used it myself on occasion) but it is grammatically incorrect, and thus has no place in standard, proper or formal contexts, whether spoken or written.

-----
maybe you should learn to google

 

[hockeyflow33]

The issue was not with the possessive but the use of those two words together, they don't flow together.
