As we begin the new year inflation remains the largest threat to traders & investors. The Fed has already stated that they expect to raise rates throughout 2022, & therefore all of you should understand that institutions will be trading with this in mind. Stay away from unprofitable companies & expect the first rate hike in the first quarter (Likely at the end of the quarter). Moreover expect markets to get sketchy whenever the Fed Chair is scheduled to speak. Core inflation data will be out on January 12th & the Fed Interest Rate Decision will be on January 26 at 2:00PM. So mark your calendars. Moreover be prepared for the worst but hope for the best when the inflation numbers hit on the 12th. The Federal Reserve has been reactive, not proactive in stemming the effects of inflation so there’s no telling how good or bad inflation going to be. However given the insane rate at which the Fed has increased M2 (money supply) over the last almost two years now, I can only imagine continued pain. Historically, amid all countries in the history of the world, whether it be gold, silver, or fiat currency, the amount of currency in circulation is the NUMBER ONE INDICATOR of inflation. And we may need to consider that prices may increase even more over time as rates are raised as companies price in Fed Policy. Any change in interest rates may therefore take even more time to slow the rate of inflation. Expect a volatile year!

The most effective & reliable ways to combat high inflation is to increase interest rates & increase the amount of money banks are required to keep on the books. Folks I know its early but I’m telling you RIGHT NOW well in advance that pain will be necessary to get the rate of inflation under wraps. A slow reduction in the rate of money being thrown into circulation will slow things down … which means less nominal economic growth. But this is much better than stagflation. Throughout history people complain when inflation skyrockets but yet they complain still when rates are raised which results in higher loan rates & less economic expansion. Never fails! For those of you with a fixed rate mortgage, congrats! Your home values are skyrocketing!

Over this week you will see me making some major changes to the below portfolio. No need to freak out, if you remain bullish then continue to hold. A trick I often like to do if I don’t mind losing my shares but want to get a little extra money while protecting from further downside is to sell a deep in the money call against the underlying. In any case I’m going to be taking some risk off the table as markets remain bullish. Moreover, I will be adding at a slower rate (You may have already noticed this).
