The FED knows. They aren't committed to attacking inflation. They are going to continue to inflate, stocks and commodities will continue to go up with everything else. You can't just sit on cash waiting for a crash, get your money working for you, start buying in slowly and then gradually increase the pace of buying as the prices continue to drop.

[@SandraDave.]

It's a fact that recessions are a natural occurrence in the economic cycle, and the best approach is to ensure you're ready for them and have a proper plan in place. As someone who entered the workforce during a recession (2009), I experienced the direct effects of inflation and discovered the importance of generating increased passive income to counter it.

[@PaulKatrina.]

Experienced long-term investors are aware that the market and economy have a tendency to bounce back over time, and it's wise for investors to be prepared for such a recovery. Speaking from my own experience, I continue to invest heavily in this volatile market and have achieved significant gains - my portfolio is presently up by 60%. For now, I'll keep a watchful eye on the situation and gradually invest in more stocks as opportunities arise.

[@HectorWhitney]

How did you achieve it? I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I'm looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up.

The current market/economy is unnecessarily tougher for boomers/senior citizens, I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.

Yes, gold is a great investment and a good bet against the devaluating dollar, been holding some for awhile now, I’m grateful my adviser’s moment by moment changes in the market are lightening quick, cos who know how much losses I would’ve had by now.

There should be a law that says if the US has debt. Congress must reduce it by 10% year over year

That would require a majority of voters to vote for cuts in their benefits and wages. Never gonna happen. We must collapse at this point.

Since the debt crisis could unleash carnage on the stock market leading to economic downturns. We need to be prepared for potential market volatility. how can I secure my $200K stock portfolio against declining?

[@Patatkevin]

Everyone needs a Margin of Safety in their portfolios and just remember, It's time in the market versus timing the market.

[@eastwood224]

De-risk your portfolios, shore up your core holdings, and take some profits while balancing your portfolio allocations. I’d also suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

[@tonicruger]

Pls who is this coach that guides you? I’m in dire need of one, my stock portfolio is declining even in a bulll market.

[@eastwood224]

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.

​@splendidrush1 That would help get inflation down tremendously and rather quickly. Fuel and energy dictates the cost of EVERYTHING. Trump knows how it works and will get it down. Lord, help us if Biden is "installed" four more years!

[@steelers4life75]

But I thought the O'Biden Regime said this was transitory. 😂😂😂

[@lukethompson5558]

Yes, and that was only 20% true. But then, any deflation seen in the pullback of transitory, like used cars, was counted to cancel-out real (non-transitory) inflation to make it seem like inflation was much lower. Any negative inflation numbers in a transitory pullback should NOT be considered to reduce inflation, when making policy decisions

[@tombox2759]

[@pbatommy]

They did .. Inflation hasn’t been transitory .. S&P is a bit over priced at the moment .. I’d venture to say it’s got little more froth that needs to come off the top but I could be wrong .. I’m still not convinced that too few have too much, I want to believe you but when 3 or however many people have more than 50% of the world’s population, that makes me think something is seriously seriously off .. that makes them more powerful than any government on Earth practically

[@TheBudgetWarrior]

Current rates are not historically high.

[@dannypowers4995]

Inflation is to much money chasing assets. Our m2 money supply is at 20 trillion dollars. In yr 2000 our m2 money supply was 4 trillion dollars. There's your inflation.

[@pascalouellette8516]

Message to Powell one more rate hike has made sense for the last 3 months just too afraid to do what is best for America again, must be listening to Jared Berstein who has been wrong more than Yellen and that is hard to do...

[@charlesbyrne71]

Inflation = government spending/printing money. Cut government spending inflation growth slows so the private sector can catch up. It takes a while, but it will work.

[@MS-1994]

Yes and it began in 1971. Print endlessly and continuously until your currency becomes worthless. Buy Bitcoin.

[@thomassimmer5186]

The Fed has been doing a good job, which is surprising since Jerome Powell created this problem in 2020-21 when he printed way too much money. There are three simultaneous actions at play: 1) interest rates 2) the reverse repo market and 3) quantitative tightening. The FED has used two to tighten, while the reverse repo market has been expansionary. Fiscal policy has also been highly expansionary. The reason that inflation didn't tame as expected is that the stimulus of fiscal policy and the reverse repo decline (making money available for loan expansion) pushed inflation higher. Okay. This upset plans for a reduction in interest rates. An additional wild card--countries moving from dollars to gold for their reserve assets means that there is lower demand for auctioned treasuries, pushing interest rates higher. Key point: don't blame the FED, it is just doing its job, and credibly.

[@Roughneck7712]

There will be no hikes. The attacks will gain focus on housing prices and insurance costs which are the two areas keeping inflation above the 2% goal … areas that will not come down until rates decline

[@lukethompson5558]

No, they will only decline with HIGHER rates and a real estate crash or correction

[@garyrogers3237]

Stupid question you should ask since the FED has existed have they managed one right thing 🤬🤬🤬
