A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Housing prices, Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

There are lot of ways to make a killing right now, but such high-volume near impeccable trades can only be carried out by real-time experts with ISDA Agreement. An agreement that lets investors sit at the “big boy table” and make high level trades not available to amateurs. Trying to be a high stakes trader without an ISDA is like trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.

I'm sure the idea of an investment-Adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch. I've accrued north of 880k within 16-months from an initially stagnant Portfolio.

For God's sake, there is supply driven inflation. That is caused by production shortages and supply bottlenecks. There is inflation caused by strategic instability such as the Red Sea with the pirates, causing ships to take longer routes. Governments made mistakes by issuing far too much income support to businesses which didn't need it. The extra capital sloshing around is causing massive inflation AND that's because the money should have been returned to government and very little was. Badly run stimulus but that's all AOK if it ends up with big business? And in housing? What does that do to prices? It sends them UP. Seriously you guys need to be more honest and less lazy. It just encourages hatred of the wrong groups in society.

Good chat. My tip - no change to rates for a long time. Economy too hot. Can't believe banks are talking about 5 or 6 rate cuts. Dreaming. They are just trying to give comfort to people to still buy property and get a loan. Most mortgage holders with properties of say 8 years plus are very comfortable with a 6% interest rate. We celebrated ~10 years ago when they came down to 6%. When its time there will be only one cut of 0.50% to 0.75% and then the rate will stay still for a long time after that, unless something drastic happens. My tip is unemployment will be the same or even down further as in the last month I have seen a net increase of employees over the month of April across the board of my clients payroll that we process. Keep up the good work.

Actually they have been delaying your pain. They delayed the drift up from 0.1% like that was sane....and have only lifted in to 4ish....people should be horrified 6-8% would be "normal". So downsize now take the capital gain and let some other mug pay 8%+.....if you have any leftovers put 50% in super and let it grow and do TTR at 65. Rest is buffer in bank if you lose your job. Plan now like a chess game....Govts won't be able to help transition later. It will be brutal. If you get on with family, buy something together or 2 houses side by side and sell them together later to developers. Plan now. I've read and listened to US and looks Bank collapse for them again, but we can be smarter!

Yes they are monopolistic, the Central Bank is not a free market institution, they were created to smooth out and control economic and financial cycles. However I would say they've been hijacked by governments with their own agenda and interests and now they are playing clean up.

If beer and cigarette taxes were 'frozen' for a year, those sectors anticipating this would simply raise their prices to take advantage, knowing people were 'expecting' the rises to come into effect. There would be no backlash, because people 'want' the product. The government would have to freeze any increases in those products, but I'm pretty sure the government can't dictate that, as it's more than likely illegal for them to enforce it.

Australia cannot compare itself with US when its 15 years behind USA in a lot of things. Food is really cheap in USA and portions are really big. Lot of options in construction industry, no red tape like we have here with councils and regulations. Rate rise has not much impacted low and middle income earners as their rates are fixed for 30 years which means even during the rate hikes their EMI has not gone up While people are struggling to pay the increased mortgage the tax is not reduced at all manufacturing is still going on in USA , where as in here all are closing shops Small business are going under, while in USA you dont hear any such stories. So , please when you are not a tiger don't try to act like one and try to understand what is right for you and do the right thing that suits your country. Our budget is in surplus, its all come from the taxes so now time to let people have their hard earned money and not force them to pay the banks and to the government.
