Economists and business leaders are voicing concerns at the start of 2023 that the year could be a difficult one. JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said Tuesday that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates to 6% to fight inflation, higher than the peak level between 5% and 5.5% in 2023 that most Fed officials penciled in after their December meeting. Although I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $500k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist

Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.

Listen, the inflation rate for the last 10 years was around 1% so they had no option. If this were to fall in to deflation you risk entering a trap like Japan where people stop buying because prices keep falling. The real problem was cheap goods from China and Free trade which kept inflation too low. This was a Government policy by keeping free trade with China going for too long, so not a FED error. It's easier to deal with inflation then deflation which is why the target inflation rate is 2% and not -2% and also it's a tool to erase old wealth to make people have to go out and work. In the USA it's not that hard to work just a few years, save up cash, buy a cheap house in a cheap corner and just retire early. a very resourceful person can play the system so inflation helps prevent that a little by making people need more people as time moves on. It's the same in every country in the world so we are not unique here, only Japan is playing on another level but that is just one country out of 200+

It's a hard call, the decade had many years of inflation in the 1% area which the FED got scared so tried to get inflation to rise up. This was due to China pushing out cheap goods and free trade deals all caused low inflation and asset prices rose too much. This was a 2 part failure, cheap good from China and free trade. We needed a better balance. Now we are starting to go the opposite way, China is closing the doors and we are starting to build tariffs on trade so inflation is waking up from a long sleep.

According to him it seems the overall economy actors are like a spoiled child who just got too many candy for a full decade and he is about to get a few candies taken back. The problem with this view is that the real economy is made of many people and those on the lower end will suffer while the one at the top who are responsible for the problems will not even change any of their habits. Mistakes have been made yes but by people who will never get any consequences and many people will suffer and even die because of this. We complain yes when the economy is crashing because of the mistake of an elite who won't suffer at all because we are the one suffering. For sure however Mr. Buffet is wise, he is still a billionaire whitout a good view or empathy for 99% of the population who are not huberichs.
