Well, you have to park your money somewhere. And until inflation starts adversely affecting issuers' performance, assets like real estate and equities sure look better than cash.

I just watched a segment on CNN about it and I think you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. It really doesn’t seem that bad.

CNBC doing work... Already took down the red banner at the top with the inflation number.

With high inflation, you don't want to be holding cash.
You have to buy something now to hold the value of your money (since cash wont). So the price of stock and real estate goes up.
Think of it as the value of a Dollar going down.
In 1965 you could buy a cup of coffee for a quarter.
In 2021 you could still buy a cup of coffee with the same quarter, and get change back. The 1965 quarter was 90% silver and is worth about $4 today. The cost of a cup of coffee has gone down, but the value of a dollar has gone down more.

They really took off as soon as the number came out. Maybe the market was actually expecting worse?

Because those are optional and such a small part of people’s spend.

I just know I am locking in as many low interest loans as possible ... inflation goes up and my debt looks better and better.

What would inflation be if we measured it like the US goverment did during the Carter administration? 12%? 15%?

It means the number was expected…. They were bracing for it to possibly be worse. Which is even more scary.
Hell… Treasuries are falling too.

Would be nice to know the differences on how UE was determined in 1969 vs today to see what the # would actually be.

Wow. I'm speechless with this one.

Fed has no option but to let it go. Raising interests rates will explode the interest payments on $30T in debt. Its a case of how you want to die. Suddenly or slowly bleed out. They will choose the latter
