How The U.S. Made Inflation Worse

[@NicholasBall130]

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

[@StacieBMui]

In particular, amid inflation, investors should exercise caution when it comes to their exposure and new purchases. It is only feasible to get such high yields during a recession with the guidance of a qualified specialist or reliable counsel.

[@StocksWolf752]

True, initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.

[@LiaStrings]

I really want to get in with a financial advisor this year, especially as all markets are hitting highs. I don't want to be too optimistic and end up losing everything.

Inflation is far more damaging to people than a crashing stock or housing market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It's not surprising that market sentiment is so negative right now. We desperately need assistance to survive in this economy.

The financial market is a reliable choice. Diversify your portfolio with I-bonds, stocks (ETFs, REITs, dividend-paying stocks), and bitcoin. Given your budget, I recommend hiring a fiduciary to ensure you receive professional insights for a fee.

[@SeanTalkoff]

Yes, equities have the potential for long-term growth and dividends, whereas bonds often have fixed returns. To match your investing objectives and risk tolerance, it is advisable to speak with a fiduciary. Right now, I work with one, and she's been really helpful in helping me increase my portfolio from $60k to about $550k.

This is very valuable for the big CPG brands as they allow them to improve their Roi but above all customer loyalty, which has proven to change brands if the situation is advantageous. McDonalds, burger King and many other brands could use Qples by fobi coupons to increase customer loyalty, Roi and improve their margins. Given the high inflation that has led to the reduction in consumer purchasing power, CPGs are looking for new ways to attract customers. I think the arrival of digital coupons and the transition to 8112 has been accelerated by all of this. The decline in margins and profits that we are witnessing of many tech companies, once considered leaders, confirm the shift of the consumer in search of better opportunities and bargains offered by coupons.

2:29 "experts believe" lol. Back in 2009-2010, when everyone started finding out what actually happened during the housing crisis, the banks blamed the people and the people blamed the banks, but it was fed's responsibility to monitor the loans, and more importantly to watch for fraudulent activity. After millions lost their homes and jobs the employment rate peaked at 10% with hundreds of thousands of defaulted mortgages collapsing pension and investment funds because the fed allowed everything to be connected to those mortgage securities (they still do btw). In 1929 the Fed assumed the recent economic boom of the 20's was the formation of a bubble and decided to try and deflate it by raising the lending rate for banks, but they did it too aggressively and too quickly and caused the death spiral to the great depression. Unemployment peaked at 20% and millions were close to starving. In 1937 (not even 10 years after the 1929 crisis) the Fed decided it was time to restrict the money supply. They doubled the requirement for their own reserves and sterilized gold inflows to prevent it from backing economic expansion. After slowly inching down to an unemployment rate of 12%, from 1937 to 1938 it had jumped back up to 20%.

Their specialised knowledge, research, and risk management skills make it challenging for them to underperform. They focus on utilising risk for its asymmetrical potential while mitigating downsides. I've been with my investment coach for over two years and have earned over a quarter-million dollars.

There are many financial coaches who excel in their profession, but for the time being, I employ Helene Claire Johnson because I adore her methods. You can make research and find out more

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

[@stevensmiddlemass2072]

Collapse is generous 1st time in our history with a full generation that wasn't taught financial literacy, civics, Google fixes their problems if their parents don't do it for them. Reckoning for participation trophies is incoming.

Asking for advice or assistance from a consultant or investment coach is the best line of action if you lack market understanding. Even though it sounds cliche or apparent, talking to a consultant has helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January 2023. That, in my opinion, is now the most successful strategy for entering the market.

[@tommychestnut5335]

That's quite incredible! My p0rtfolio has been performing poorly and i've lost a significant amount of money, therefore I could really use their advice. Who is the advisor?

[@chrisbluebird5037]

’Amber Russell Bennett’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@merovingian688]

There’s plenty of money still in the system sitting on the sidelines. Trillions which was created. This will fuel stagflation. Years of inflation around 6%. The lady said it best. Trillions filter to the wealthiest

[@ronankierans1600]

I'm not convinced that raising interest rates is the solution. The key issue is lack of supply not excess demand. People aren't spending wildly, they are struggling to afford rapidly inflating basic goods. Raising interest rates will not solve the supply issues it will just increase financial pressure on those already struggling to get by.

[@dpayneless1962]

Nothing the Feds do will control this inflation. Watch US Rep Katie Porter and her white board and then you will see why.

[@stevenreinart9719]

@@henley7012 in all honesty, if we could bring more tax brackets in play and tax more on the upper income vs lower income.. we could see the gap between upper, middle, and lower class become less. As we have been seeing an increase of the gaps the last 38 years. Now, taxing the rich more comes with issues too. Like companies will be forced to slow down due to profitability and over all, cause a economy slow down. Positive too that... that's what the FEDs want to get inflation under control. So I mean... its a massive debate.

[@henley7012]

@@stevenreinart9719 Slow down? You mean more than they have already? I have never seen such shortages in my life as I have seen in the last year or two. Suddenly there is something called "supply chain" excuses. Like companies were surprised, no shocked, that we had a Covid recovery after the vaccine was released?? Is this why we pay CEO"s tens of millions yearly?? So they can be shocked and caught unprepared for a thoroughly predictable recovery?? Obviously these guys are over paid by a lot.

[@stevenreinart9719]

@@henley7012 well covid surprised everyone and the economy basically just shutdown because of covid restrictions. Then, you had everyone starting to work at home and a massive surge of supplies were bought up from companies. So we had a production slow down with a higher than normal demand. Now, our supplies are trying to catch up with themselves from that blind hook the world threw. Plus, you still have china slowing the world economy down with their 0 tolerance covid policy. It's a lot to go into but bottom line no one saw this coming and they are trying to recover the damages still. No one saw covid coming, no one saw the world economy shutting down for a month, no one expected demands to surge out of no where, no one knew if restrictions were here to stay or temporary. So much I could say on this topic...

[@henley7012]

@@stevenreinart9719 Yes, everyone was shocked, shocked!! After seeing China lock down who could have imagined we would ever shut down too??? I did, but then I can see past my nose, unlike many overpaid execs. Notice none, not one company was unprepared to raise prices and absorb the massive increases in profits that ensued! They knew how to fix and handle price increases immediately. In fact, many companies suddenly joined the parade of companies that couldn't find raw materials to make their products. Who knew that supply chains could or would ever break? Who knew that materials would be in short supply? Who knew that companies would use the shortage/supply chain excuse to line their pockets with record breaking profits? Who knew? Notice the OPEC countries have responded to the oil price under $100 by cutting production by 100,000 barrels a day. That would be on top of the cuts they made last year of 7.2 million barrels a day. Because charging high prices is why they exist. Would any other company act any differently? Nope. Its their number one priority..maximizing profits. Its the reason Capitalism exists. Its her one and only reason, maximizing profits. To think any company would act in a less than greedy manner would be naive.
