The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?

[@chrissmurrayy]

I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.

[@sheltonPston]

Investing is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds.

[@AUstinnesc]

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

[@sheltonPston]

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’AMBER KAY WRIGHT” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@McElvinn]

I appreciate this. After curiously searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.

[@WalterDorcas]

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024.

[@HenryKatty]

Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

[@bonner-qv3mi]

Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

[@WalterDorcas]

I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?

[@bonner-qv3mi]

"Angela Lynn Shilling" is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..!

Danielle is a wealth of information on the economy. But one thing that she may not realize because she is so close to the problem is that when she says the things that the FED has control over, she means benign control over. The FED can bring down all inflation by crushing the economy. But they can only bring down inflation on very few things in a benign way. That's one of many reasons why recessions are a necessary part of the economic cycle. All inflation must be brought under control.

Does the spending of the super rich have a significant effect on inflation for the under 70-50%ile crowd? Metrics to use for measurement would be difficult for super rich while poorer folk are just the big mass of data that can best be used/ spun for power.

[@RobertGjikokaj]

Investors are still in denial about the fundamentals of the economy. They expect rares will soon be cut and believe the topline GDP numbers signal a strong economy. However, they dont. Credit card balences are maxed out, more credit is hard to come by for consumers, a ton of companies are about to beforced into refinancing their debs at far higher interest and the regional bank backstop program is out this month. There's also the fact that inflation ticks higher than expected every single time the markets believe a rate cut is around the corner and a rate cut would cause a surge in inflation. The fed sees this stuff, guys. The only wild card for us investors is to actively engage the market by trading, we always over complicate things when we speculate. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Linda Wilburn, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

I think the comment about "Supercore," subcomponents, Auto repair and insurance, being stripped out of the equation equaling a near 2% inflation rate, isn't accurate. Here in the U.S. and likely most of Canada having auto insurance, if your a citizen, isn't optional. Having your car fixed or maintained is necessary to maintain a minimal mobility. Excluding those two components is as useful as excluding food and energy. I usually agree with DDB, but I've drawn the line.

Current everything bubble will collapse when Fed faced with increasing inflation can’t cut rates resulting in stagflation then recession.

[@BloorStreetCapital]

Both the Fed and the Federal government are responsible for this sky-high inflation but the real paradox now is that Biden is still spending trillions of dollars resulting in higher inflation but Powell has implemented one of the most restrictive monetary policies of all time trying to get inflation down. Bottom line is though inflation is not going away.

[@cajiapgto1298]

@@BloorStreetCapital, Agreed. Federal Government, and us taxpayers responsible for electing politicians who continually deficit spend are just as culpable. While I agree that Powell has been agressive with rate hikes in terms of duration implemented,they are still at historical averages. Powell's hands are tied as in my opinion they'll need to be raised further but the Fed has hamstrung themselves with lies about transitory inflation, rate cuts and a strong economy. We've (FED & Fed Gov) kicked the can as long as possible, it appears this is no longer sustainable and many at upper levels of policy makers are finding out they're not as smart as they thought they were in terms of sound fiscal and economic policy.

Spending is high because everything is so expensive!!! GDP is high because of government spending! All of this is baaaaaaadddddd. We are at the beginning of a depression

It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment Michelle! I hope you are wrong about the depression.

WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Bloor Street? The Onion has a more serious name.

[@BloorStreetCapital]

It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment and you're right, maybe I should change it to Onion Street or Onion Capital or Onion Resources or Onion Communications or Onion Media. The possibilities are endless!

[@Adam-ey3ud]

Traders are positioned for higher rates? Lmao ok

[@BloorStreetCapital]

It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment Adam! Yes, not exactly sure what Danielle met by that but as a Canadian I can tell you these higher rates are causing the USD to increase significantly against CAD and its going to be a long time before I can travel to the US.

"how is the economy doing" you say recession - that's so alarmist and you are totally incorrect.

Always believe a woman.

[@JamesG1126]

This woman has been wrong for a long time. What value does her opinions have?

[@BloorStreetCapital]

It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment James but no one really knows. We all look at the same data and form different opinions.

Funny how the host thinks the economy is great. She was too kind to him.

[@BloorStreetCapital]

It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment Scott! I am trying to put forth a narrative with the intent of her pushing back. IMO the economy and the consumer, which represents 70% of the economy, are both in real trouble.

@@BloorStreetCapital JImmy, thanks for response, first time viewer. You have a good technique, I was ready to push back too ! :)

[@BD-fq5rp]

LOL you're wrong.

Mr. Transitory Powell is not that intelligent, don’t overestimate him, Danielle.

MADAM, CAN YOU DEFINE WHO EXACTLY ARE 'PRACTITIONERS'? THE REAL PROBLEM WITH INFLATION AND ITS EFFECTS - ARE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT INCOME LEVEL PEOPLE... SO WE NEED TO HAVE A 100 PRACTIONERS (PROVIDED WE ARE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHO THEY ARE) AND THEN TAKE AN AVERAGE...AND THEN YOU WILL GET INTO PARADOXes - that their figures may show zig zag patterns... which theoretically look improbable.. like a poor fellow saying inflation is okay can be tolerated, his next level fellow crying tears, and his next again saying tolerable . i guess you get my point

[@BloorStreetCapital]

It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment! You raise many good points because someone who is making $50k is impacted far more then someone making $250k due to the ravishes of inflation.
