Relative importance of components in the Consumer Price Indexes:

Medical care 6%
Recreation 5.5%
Education and communication 6%
1. then show me a better indicator than CPI, which supports 6-7% inflation
2. CPI has been criticized for overstating inflation
3. the year/year change in core CPI is seen by most economists as the best measure of the underlying inflation rate = ~2%
so you are saying that "units sold" is lower (should be in recession), but they beat earnings by higher prices?
like dell for example? what can be more "anti-inflation" than technology?
and btw, last CPI was flat.
I'm looking for data provider with the following specifications:
- EOD historical data
- intraday snapshots (OHLC only, not streaming...)
- NYSE+NASDAQ+AMEX
- API (C# if possible)
- price +/-$100/month.
opentick is great but not reliable.
Thanks!
