One of our favorite mantras is that you need to Listen to what the market is saying.
And when you have ears to hear, you pick up on subtleties that enable you to profit when everyone around you is losing.
We thought about titling this email “Fixated on the Fed” because we find ourselves writing more frequently about what they’re doing.
And it’s because we believe the FED is in a Catch 22 situation…making it imperative that you Listen to what they are NOT saying.
It’s Catch 22 in the sense that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell must raise interest rates to at least try to control inflation…but that’s an exercise in futility.
Because raising rates on our ridiculous debt load – nearing $32 Trillion – will eventually bankrupt our nation.
The net result being a default on our bonds.
And that’s not the only problem Powell faces.
Carefully Listening to What Fed is NOT saying
If you listen carefully to what Powell says, you’ll notice he never mentions a single word about the unbelievable amount of money our corrupted administration is sending to Ukraine.
FACT: War Always Increases Inflation
And yet somehow Powell avoids the topic.
In addition to inflation, war escalates the debasement of the nation’s currency.
The fact that he continues to say he’s looking at jobs and prices is absurd.
That’s why it pays to Listen to what he is NOT saying.
He has made it clear that he sees higher rates going into 2024.
Ironically (or NOT) the first rate hike came with the beginning of the Ukrainian war…and not with inflation.
Translation: Powell knows that inflation rises with war.
And he warned Congress that a debt default would to “long-standing harm” to the economy.
His warning upset the Treasury market causing prices to sink to new lows.
And most see this as leading to a recession.
But they are ignoring the War factor which the FED is far more concerned about…and cannot publicly speak about.
Bottom line here?
Rates will continue to go up…and won’t curb inflation.
Why?
Because WW3 is imminent.
In fact, we believe it has already started.
So, learn how to protect your portfolio against the actions of the FED and the war mongers in the District of Caligula by reading our March issue of “…In Plain English” (HERE).
In it we’ll also show why we’re still in The Most Hated Bull Market in History (HERE).
Share this with a friend…especially if they think inflation will be under control.
They’ll thank YOU later.
Remember: We’re Not Just About Finance
