Inflation

The Fed follows an old myth while gaging interventions on the wrong thing.  The Phillips principal relates inflation with high employment rates. A last century concept, inflation and employment may be associated, but is there a cause and effect relation? Fed uses an old theory that does not work today, hopping to check inflation with unemployment.

Any business with a tight budget and narrow margin that’s nearly all of them, must raise prices when faced with lower volume and increased cost - not even a question. Increased interest rates most certainly add to business cost and curtail hesitant consumer spending. 

Many former employees will never return to work. Reluctant customers add to their credit cards to cover increased cost of energy and non-discretionary expenses with even higher interest. What Liquidity there is, seeks, equities, T bills, and gold to hedge inflation.

Only salvation, will be a competitive increase in production of goods and services. Increase turnover / velocity. Facilitate an inexpensive, competitive supply of energy. Lower interest rates to a desirable sustainable rate and keep hands off. The M1 is down. With increased productivity, velocity will soar.

This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
