How to Protect your Wealth by Investing in AI Tech Stocks

INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!

Economics / Inflation Sep 25, 2022 - 10:29 PM GMT

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Economics

The big questions for the US and how our US tech stocks will fair over the coming year are -

1. Does the Federal Reserve finally understand just how dangerous inflation actually is ?

2. If it does then how is it going to subvert the inflationary policies of the White house, does not matter which clown is in office i.e. democrat or republican, BOTH have tendencies towards rampant money printing given the 4 year election cycle.


From what I have managed to glean I suspect that the Fed has finally read the inflation writing on the wall and concluded that they are forked if they do NOT at least try to bring Inflation under control, against this they will be fighting the White House all the way FOLLOWING THE Mid terms!

THOUGH Jerome Powell IS an TRANSITORY INFLATION CLOWN! Who during the whole of 2021 sat on his hands and did NOTHING to combat the raging inflation inferno that he let loose due to rampant money printing. So maybe I am giving him far too much credit to finally start to get the job done?.

Meanwhile in the UK the government is fully in charge and given that we have a Tory leadership contest to anoint the next British Prime Minister (Democracy is an illusion) which means Brit's are in in deep inflationary doo dah as the only answer the government has is to PRINT MORE MONEY! We are forked! That which I warned for years has fast become manifest during 2022, all we can do is to escape sterling into hard assets and see how the land lies once the Inflation storm finally calms. We are doomed! NO ones perfect, I still hold way too much sterling cash despite attempting to plow sterling into US stocks during the bear market, Yes US stocks WILL FAILL during a bear market, but the value of my portfolio still goes up in sterling terms, especially if one throws in a liberal sprinkling of trimming during opportune bear market rallies..

BRTS HAVE NO CHOICE, WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF STERLING! Either into domestic property or US tech stocks which has been my mantra since rampant money printing resumed in March 2020!

So sitting on the sidelines especially for Brit's is NOT an option because the value of money is now being burned at an epic rate! torched by the crooks at the Bank of England, UK Treasury and the next clown to take office in No 10.

DOOMED as the masses are finally waking up to reports that their annual energy bills are going to jump from about £800 per year not so long ago to soon approaching £6000! This is even going to hurt me as my energy bill tends to be DOUBLE the average! TWELVE THOUSAND POUNDS PER YEAR! THAT IS NUTS AND IS GOING TO BE PAINFUL! I'll be going around the house screaming to turn x,y,z off! The days of Computers GPU mining crypto in the background are long gone!

The next few years ARE GOING TO BE PAUNFUL! A case of damage limitation in the age of monetary bonfires for that is the default setting of politicians when faced with voter outrage which is to PRINT MORE MONEY!

So understand this the alternative to the bear market draw down is definite loss of purchasing power to the tune of 20% per annum!

A Fed funds rate of 2.5% to combat Inflation of 8.5% is NOT GOING TO WORK! 0.5% rate hikes are NOT GOING TO CUT IT! 0.75% all the way to 5% COULD diminish the inflation inferno to some degree that I suspect could rage well into 2023 and then there is the CLIMATE CHANGE CATASTROPHE! That this weeks Pakistan Floods act as the latest canary in the coal mine of, putting 1/3rd of the country under water,.in fact it was barely 2 weeks ago I posted a video on their Independence day that India and Pakistan need to work together else Climate change WILL KILL both nations!.The time for ***** footing about is over! Work together or die together!

What does all of this mean for stocks?

We'll whilst everyone is fixated in IS the BOTTOM IN, what it implies is that THE Bottom is likely to be followed by a volatile trading range probably well into 2023 with the risk that the Fed could further screw things up! Whilst on the flip side there is the fact that Good stocks are LEVERAGED to inflation and thus price volatility will deliver further DEEP discounts in valuation terms! which is What a long-term investor seeks! To be able to buy ones TARGET stocks when CHEAP! And I mean CHEAP in valuation terms not FAKE CHEAP as in Cathy Wood 90% NO EARNINGS COLLAPSE terms. Those stocks are not cheap, not even after a 90% price drop!

So it is going to be a bumpy ride! Especially when the latest clown in the white house answer to reducing inflation is print another $737bn and call it the Inflation Reduction act, hell lets print another $250 billion and call it the Student loan Forgiveness act so as to round it up to $1 trillion, I like round numbers, now what about next year? $1 trillion more? $2 trillion? Lets go for $2 trillion and call it the US Debt Reduction Action Plan.
