Yes. The Fed has vastly increased base money in an effort to get prices to rise. However, most of that money isn't being lent into the economy and therefore, you have some asset prices falling (e.g. housing). Yet, because the value of the dollar is in question, some asset prices are rising (e.g. energy, gold).
