Housing, startups, art, cars, watches...pretty much everything collectible or rare has seen its value skyrocket since the great recession.

The big pool of money has been sloshing between asset classes for a while now, but it doesn’t get reflected in inflation metrics.

I think this is a combination of low interest rates making the opportunity cost of owning collectibles much lower and rising inequality driving up the purchasing power of collectors.
