Might take awhile - velocity of money or something.... but the eventual

Except of course, that is not what's happening. If the currency being
debased was the direct cause of the rise in the DOW, then prices of
everything, the PPI, the CPI would be way up, ie inflation everywhere
would be evident. The DOW is going up partly from the new money
because it's one of the best places to invest. Money can be borrowed for
near zero and put into stocks.
