In an inflationary economy like the one we have, "the market is at all time high" is not really a useful statement since it's the normal state of affairs.
I'm going to rightly be accused of ad hominem for pointing this out, but entertain for a moment that the people calculating inflation are generally directly or indirectly funded by the same federal government that causes inflation.

Sure, but gold and many other assets are at a 50-year high even when adjusting for inflation:

I agree, that would've been a much more interesting statement.

All right, but gold doubling in two years is something more than a reflection of the amount of inflation we've had in the last two years.
Similarly, the currency value is perpetually at an all-time low.
