    The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

      Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder

      Very true, you can be passively involved in the markts and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.

    Economists and business leaders are voicing concerns at the start of 2023 that the year could be a difficult one. JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates to 6% to fight inflation, higher than the peak level between 5% and 5.5% in 2023 that most Fed officials penciled in after their December meeting. Although I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $500k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy/short now or put on a watchlist.

      Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

It seems not at all, at least I cant explain, how housing, be it sales prices or rental prices, has seen exponential increases in just the last 10 years, but allegedly inflation hasnt changed at all up until recently. It just doesnt make any sense that probably the single biggest factor in everyone's regular expenses has increased dramatically, but it doesnt show up in inflation. Where I live, a european city about 600000 citizens, prices have probably doubled over the last 10 years. Obviously income hasnt. Yet, we are told inflation was somewhere lower than 1% each year. It seems absolutely rigged, especially considering that today about 33% of the median income goes to housing costs!

    In Britain inflation peaked at just over 30% 😮 in 1975. We had the same situation in the mid-to-late 70s where wages were spiralling upwards to keep pace with rising prices so the higher wages did not increase spending power in real terms. Unemployment rose steadily and sharply from the mid-70s onwards as stagflation gripped our economy too. Inflation had come down a bit but was still high at the end of the 70s but it was one of the biggest achievements of Mrs Thatcher's earliest governments to bring it back down and under control in the 80s with a monetarist economic doctrine to restrict the money supply and make the pound sound again. That was accomplished at a terrible cost. Unemployment soared as the world's economies fell into a deep,damaging recession,and more than 3 million people here were out of work by December 1981. The recovery was long,slow and painful. Though we had pockets of affluence,mostly in the south and the better-off parts around the west and centre-west of London,I would argue that the economy did not start to pick up again properly until the later half of 1986 in the south,1987 onwards in the Midlands and later,generally much later,than that in the north and the other regions. And when it did it was underpinned by too much borrowing.

    Powell didn't experience inflation in '75. He comes from money, went to Princeton, and a law doctorate from Georgetown. I was in 5th thru senior HS during the 70's inflation BS and lined up to get gas, saw price freezes by Nixon and how Jimmy Carter told US to wear a sweater if we couldn't afford the heating oil. The recession of '82 under Reagan which stopped the stagflation, and the resulting collapse in oil prices used to pull the nation back up with cheap energy. The normal state of money, real money, is deflationary. Inflation calculated as we did in the 70's would be north of 17% now not 7.5 as reported by the CPI (CP lie). Put US back on the gold standard. This generation will take a huge hit, but our kids will be better off. Time to pay the piper. NOT THE FED !!!

    The big difference between 1980 and now is that now the US federal debt is roughly four times the size in relation to the economy than it was in 1980. This means that when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to control inflation, the effect on the US budget deficit is much higher than it was then. If the Fed loses control of inflation the US government will have a severe budget crisis. At that point we will enter a monetary regime known as fiscal dominance. The Fed is playing with fire right now - let’s hope we don’t all get burned.

    Inflation isn't even the dominant risk of the inflation narrative. I'm typing this 3 months later, and inflation has gotten worse, and stuck around longer than anticipated. The REAL risk is the monetary policy tool that effectively combats inflation, being interest rates. The economy is more inflated than any time in history, mortgage delinquencies are up for homes under 350,000 to highest levels in a decade, while new mortgage issuance for homes over 350k is at peak levels. Equities also extremely overvalued due to overleveraged corporations. Long story short, our economy can't handle a spike in interest rates that would actually even combat persistent inflation. Oh and, no one wants to work anymore, oh and Washington wants to raise taxes. The ingredients are in the pot, they just haven't turned the heat on yet.

Corporate finance, commercial real estate, and shadow banking are all precipitously leveraged. The regulatory environment is toothless and risk management is a relic of past generations. Equities, bonds, and real estate are profoundly inflated. The Fed must unwind its astronomical balance sheet to reduce self-inflicted inflation and that will require Volcker-era tough love along with a dose of rarely encountered moral rectitude.

Think about the ‘big money’ expenses before spending the money like “do I really need to do this?” Look around and see if you can fit yourself into a better paying job or career. At the same time, try to enjoy life with friends and family. I have a young niece that’s dear to me. I won’t hesitate to help her out financially and value the little time we spend together. Appreciate the good things you have especially with people close to you.

      It did roar back from increased consumer spending. I fail to understand how you are so blind to this. Money does not have a mind of its own; it needs consumers to circulate and guess what? inflation is mainly seen on necessities, things people primarily spend money on to survive

    The main reason for inflation in the 1970s was the oil tension caused by the Middle East war.The current inflation is due to a large number of money printing. In addition, due to the epidemic, only China can provide a large number of goods, and China's currency has not depreciated with the dollar

      Inflation is due to a surge in demand due to the post covid environment and the supply chain issue. China did not depreciate due to Russia's interest in the currency. You are too fixated on money. Milton Friedman was not a real economist. His methods lead to suffering and fake solutions.

    Why pass a massive infrastructure spending bill when unemployment is so low? Massive government spending, under Keynesian Economics, is good for addressing low unemployment, but does the opposite when unemployment is already low. The focus should instead be on reducing government spending, reducing costs by cutting tariffs and improving and streamlining trade, developing industries to localize production thus further reducing costs and addressing shortages of goods, and improving overall trade and foreign relations and doing everything to end the War in Ukraine, instead of fueling it.
    Economically, both parties are pathetically horrible, backwards, and uninformed. Trump ballooned the deficit and increased tariffs which has artificially increased costs of goods which has drastically hurt trade and has directly let to inflation (which is what it has ALWAYS done), and Biden has been on a spending spree.
    I just don't think there are competent enough leaders that actually understand macro economics, as the political environment has become so incredibly polarized and toxic that its more about rhetoric than intelligent and effective policy, and it's more about the governments intervention into social issues, which it has no right to intervene in the first place, which only further distracts and creates more "single issue voters".
    Will enough people wake up to the economic reality? I don't see it happening, as both parties would have to admit failure, and Trump has formed a personality cult that won't even hold him responsible for trying to overthrow the government itself because he lost the election, and Democrats are becoming more and more focused on social issues and are being further pushed to the left that there is truly no one left in the middle anymore, especially economically speaking.
    I sincerely hope we can return to sanity, rationalism, and some form of cooperation, but I just don't know if that's possible anymore. 😔

    Annualized inflation for May, June and July were all two digits, to yield 12 month periods to 5% plus. August will be crucial to determine if the trend will continue to next May. Trump's trade war on China is now working, with the multiplier effect, 10% increase on landed cost may become 20-30% increase on retail prices. With the world still in pandemic except China, on the supply chain, the effect of the trade war on is now being amplified. 10% inflation may see the return of prime rates of 5-8%. The impact on the equity market will be very huge. Not to mention the banks' annual sensitivity test if that is still applicable. Can the US continue to borrow above $30T and still pay the high interest payments, Yellen must be waking up very early in the morning and wonder. Where is safest country and the least affected currency? North Korea or Cuba?

      I just like to make a comment: our political leaders have sold this country out. Biden gave Ukraine billions of dollars of aide for a war those communist Russian bums started, because Russia wants to flex their muscles at u.s.a and take control little by little these other countries. They have the power but cannot even take care of their own people......including the other commies like China who want to dominate tawaian and that whole region...I understand our best intentions to defend the weaker parts of the world, but, let’s give aide by giving food, water, and medicine, and stop policing the world, by allowing foreign people to fight their own battles.........enough is enough! It seems like people never learn from history the errors of their ways. Why should we borrow money from China to fight a war in Iran.? The USA owes over. 30 billion dollars in debt, and Biden just gives away our hard-earned tax dollars away.....where is the accountability in this country with our tax dollars? Who is going to help the USA when our own people need jobs, food, etc.? Our political system is broken. Our nation has abandoned God, and we all live in sin that we can be proud of, when we should be repenting to almighty god for healing this nation from all immorality......one glorious day god is going to end this whole corrupt system of governments around this world and Jesus is going to take full control. Gods word in the Bible said so.....
