Welcome to Sunday and our “paid” Substack posting. It’s taken us a while to get into a pattern we can replicate. It should work as we want to maintain the ability to put into your head what’s between our ears. In addition we want to be sure we can pay the bills.
Rome was not built in a day and The Ticker proves that theory out without question. I want what we are developing to be as accessible as possible. That’s what’s happening. If we miss something let us know. It’s your guidance that has brought us here. Keep it up, we appreciate it.
I would appreciate if if the Federal Reserve would be a little more honest with us. Face it, their 2% inflation target is not going to be hit anytime soon, if ever. I started talking about this many months ago. More are speaking about it right now, that’s expected as I’m often early. Inflation is here to stay. Quite frankly, so is QE boldly disguised as the hated QT technique. Monetary and fiscal policy are simply out of kilter and it shows. I believe these “money printing” actions are the real reason behind inflation but this is a political year and something has to give for ‘Uncle Joe’ to remain in power. Yellen is one to watch but her prognosis is “etched in stone”. Turn those money “machines” on and keep them running overtime. She’ll figure out how to spend it. Jerome Powell is just holding on to the reigns and will act accordingly until the time is right to protect his future. We’re headed to a November “shootout” but for now, a 2% inflation target is simply unachievable. Act accordingly.
Time for buying dividend stocks and that is what follows. These securities are in my overall managed portfolios. It makes sense and they should for you as well. Over time interest rates are going to decline. When they do, these stocks that pay higher, solid dividends are going to go up. So if you want to know the three I’m recommending get the “paid” Substack subscription. It’s worth it and there’s more. Jumpon board.
