Anyone Afraid Of Inflation?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I’ve held crypto before.

The stock market feels positively gentle in comparison.

I bonds


You're welcome

Your time horizon changes.
After Uncle Joe got an office I put some of my money on the sidelines.
No I keep investing in the market but I have a core chunk of money that made good money on.

No I'm not really sure what to do.

Sure, your time horizon changes but the experience should make you more comfortable with the cyclical ups and downs. 2000 and 2007-2009 were pretty rough but going through them and coming out OK just reinforced that the best strategy is to stay the course and buy when the market is down. In hindsight, the only thing I would have done differently during those downturns was buy more.

Oh I'm still investing in the market because I know over a long term that will give me the best results.
But the money I put on the sidelines is going to stay there for a while, because I refuse to let the market dictate my retirement date

Keep working. That is their plan if it isn’t obvious.

Fed Chair Powell says interest rates are 'likely to be higher' than previously anticipated

Citing earlier data showing that inflation has reversed the deceleration in late 2022, Powell warned of tighter monetary policy ahead.

Cheer up people. There’s more to life than listening to an old man lying to your face on national TV.

My wife and I traveled abroad for 3 weeks in February and the airports, hotels, restaurants, excursions and shops were stuffed with Americans. Mostly Midwesterners with pockets full of money. Our resorts had multiple weddings every day with big receptions.

Kauai is the most crowded that I have experienced. High prices here but people are spending.

Hopefully you got a 10% raise last year, the government put a pay cut on you. You will likely need that or better every year moving onward.

I'm getting a 30% raise now that the company is requiring me to work a minimum of 3 days a week.

That must include your 9.5 $…..

Funny, I have one 9.5 grievance paid already this year.

I’ve been winding down for awhile. 9.5 $ is an inflation fighting tool none of my friends have. Also known as inflation bonus or 9.5 profit sharing.

This cannot end well.

“Of the 91 recently listed tech groups that have reported results so far this year, just 17 reported a net profit. They spent a cumulative $12bn in cash last year — a total that would have been even worse were it not for the standout performance of Airbnb, which generated more than $2bn. On average, cash-burning companies spent 37 per cent of their IPO proceeds during the year.”

Trying to maintain stock price by refinancing debt over and over and over. Funny when the cheap money dries up and you actually have to pay your bills and produce a quality balance sheet.
