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.

With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.

GDP numbers and unemployment numbers are standardized, the problem is the news channels you choose to watch don't want Biden to win, so they make things sound worse than they are. Wages are increasing faster than inflation now. Maybe don't buy as many Trump bibles and Trump sneakers and things will feel better for you.

Prices have gone up, but my wages for the last 5 years has stayed the same. Maybe I'm outlier, but tougher now more than ever before.

The disconnect I think has to do with the fact that buying power for the average consumer is not being what it was even 4 years ago. People feel poorer because they incomes didn’t slide up as quickly as inflation rose.

A few things I think are going on that the investor commentator class is missing: First fatalism, how many people see their debt growing or economic fortunes darkening but say "hey there is no point saving since I'll never afford to buy a house anyway and the country is going down the tubes". Second inflation led recessions don't decrease gross consumer spending, if I am becoming poorer in an inflation economy it may mean I spend the same amount at the grocery store or clothing store I am just getting less. If we only watch gdp, revenues, or other $ based metrics this is hidden by the data. Thirdly holding money is less desirable, in an unemployment led recession the worry is job loss so people save to cover the gap a layoff would cause, in an inflationary recession no one wants to save since saved money's value is decaying. Fourth, stock prices are inflated for two reasons, since liquidity is punished via inflation people are running to stocks to have an asset instead, and stock prices are largely based on expected future returns will be in inflated dollars as well pushing the current stock prices up. The market sees higher stock prices and is trained to consider that a good thing rather than a further warning sign of an unstable currency.

Steve, increase imports may not be any indication of retail optimism, but rather simply the bringing in more of goods than needed to avoid potential tarriffs in the fall. This could have consequences, like inventory excesses.

CNBC is missing the point. We have a huge new underclass that has developed since '08. They are are huge portion of our society. That accounts for alot of the negative sentiment. The upper middle class and boomers are carrying the spending. People are not okay. They havent been a part of discretionary spending numbers for a decade plus. Thats how bad off a huge portion of our society is.....they can only spend on essentials and thats been going on credit cards lately.

Cant tell if they are foolish or dishonest. Example. Coffee is up 90+ percent in a year. So they removed coffee from the CPI basket so the CPI nunber could be lower. Then they say the consumer is stupid. No, they are cooking the numbers Steve, so are you part of the problem or solution?

Disconnect is with processing the data. If person was making 80k two years ago and even with 5% raise every year they make less then 90k but all prices went up 20% (they went up more ) he is in recession. Even if he spends more $$ he is buying less. So he is in recession. Rich people on top or in CNBC think stuff is better than it was for most people... and that should tell you how out of touch they are.

It’s really simple in my opinion. Inflation is insidious and absolutely the worst possible economic scenario for consumers. Why, because they feel it and see it everyday, everywhere. Combine that with how horrible the education most Americans recv in our schools today and they don’t even teach people about economics anymore. So they have no idea how to separate the different economic situations and definitions

99% of people are completely ignorant of macroeconomic terminology. They are ignorant of what "recession" means, or even what "economy" means. They think that if they're doing better, the economy is good and there's no recession. If they're doing worse, we're in a recession and the economy is bad. They think high prices means high inflation (they think it's a price level, not a rate of increase), and think it is still a huge problem, despite inflation being currently back to the historical norm of slightly above 3%.
