inflation remains well above the Fed’s 2% target. Some of the top commentators in the markets, business and economics have been sounding off on just how bad they think the next downturn might be - and how far stocks may have to fall. I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60.

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 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/short now or put on a watchlist.

My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US.

Predicting the future remains uncertain until we have this month's inflation data. Nevertheless, historical trends consistently demonstrate that stocks tend to outperform bonds over the long haul. Hence, I'm staying invested in the market and concentrating on choosing top-notch stocks. The real difficulty lies in pinpointing these standout stocks.

My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling this year. With the present inflation and dollar devaluation I just got my money out of the bank, I invested some in gold and silver and I’ve approximately $700k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth, any suggestions to grow my portfolio will b

With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy asap.

This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.

You need to invest in order to protect your hard-earned funds from inflation. You need to invest now because your money is more valuable today than it will be in a year.

nteresting how 2% inflation has been a concern when central banks and the Fed begin to hike interest rates. I consider the rising interest rate to be a very serious issue since it will undoubtedly cause more investors to withdraw their money from the stock market. This may have worked when I was only using a few thousand dollars to invest, but it is more challenging to decide to withdraw more than $365,000 from my account at this point. Despite the severe bear market, I am aware of certain investors that continue to earn that amount. I wish I could accomplish that.

I don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis that is more entertaining than the sensationalized segment of economic and financial news. Thank you for your efforts to be the signal and not the noise.Don't get me wrong, I understand that the economy is in shambles and that we must wait for the stock market to recover in order to break even and make a profit, but how are some people in the same stock market as me still able to pull off substantial profits of as much as 650K within months, what am I doing wrong?

The title should be, How The U.S. is FAILIING To Control Inflation

Inflation is killing my budget and my salary. I can't invest and it seems like I will need to sell a part of my portfolio to keep my head above the water this year >

FED is a private corporation, and that explains a lot.

This is the first time in a WHILE I've seen something this informative and not extreme partisanship on this news network. More of this = more returning viewers.

We are reliving the period of 1914-1932 with war, pandemic, inflation, market crash and possibly economic depression.

The true American Dream is keeping up with inflation, not other people’s lifestyle 💯💯💯

If you decide to spend 50% of your income on housing and total taxes take 25%, you will have a very hard time saving for retirement. A more reasonable amount to spend on housing is 25%.

Phenomenal presentation! Thanks!!

For having been released just 6 hours ago, there are an epic amount of errors. 28:20 - the American rescue plan may not have created inflation, but it stood over the fire and poured gas directly on the fire. 31:20 - there is literally no assets that Americans can buy and stock up on that will insulate you from inflation. People may buy something earlier than planned, but they will not buy more hoping to hedge inflation. CPI does not properly allocate spending into the silos in the proportions that people spend, therefore, CPI is already a flawed model. 33:10 there have been pockets of inflation in groceries. What a dated comment. Grocery prices are up over 15% year over year, what an understatement. 33:34 in you think grocery prices will be up 4 or 5%, that is not on the horizon. Gosh, I wonder if she wishes she could have that back. 33:50 many people are saving and not spending. True for 2020, when saving hit the highest point in June 2020, but since savings hit the lowest point in 4 years last month, and credit card debt hit the highest point in 4 years. Buy now, pay later is now a $200 billion dollar industry that rose from the ashes of the pandemic downturn. 36:20 - the Fed bought mortgage securities (conforming) thereby providing liquidity to the banking system, they didn't hand money to the banks and tell them to lend it out. They required reserves to be increased, and banks used the funds to shore up their balance sheets. Because those funds were never lent out, those funds did not create inflation. BIG DIFFERENCE! 37:30 asset price inflation? Are you serious? Most people realize grocery prices are not likely to go down, and asset price inflation becomes critical when you retire. The two are decoupled for 85% of the population. Lastly, did you write this a year and a half ago, and decide to out this out now? All equity indexed are down from a year ago, yet inflation is the highest in 40 years. "Don't worry about the national debt". Yeah easy for you to say, but when only 27% of Americans pay any federal income taxes, you sure are comfortable putting all those eggs in 1 basket.

The United States is grappling with the challenging combination of inflation and recession. An alarming aspect of this recession is the surge in consumer credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt escalated by 20%, and rates have doubled within a year. Inflation has reached such heights that consumers are resorting to debt for essential life necessities. The signs of a collapse are evident, and the prospect of more layoffs looms. This is why I am considering entering the market now, anticipating a recovery in the economy. I am in the process of constructing a $600k portfolio. Do you have any recommendations for stocks in this scenario?

I’m confident the current market has an equal possibility of making high-value gains or losses, so I'm cautious with my selections; but, I heard that a trader made over $250k in this recession influenced market, and I could really need ideas on how to achieve similar profits.

At this inflation rate, you'll need 3 full-time jobs to make ends meet.

I'm not sure why anyone in the Federal Government thought that $4.5 trillion in COVID Relief spending was a smart idea. Of course it would lead to inflation. That's more than an entire year of tax revenue. Our debt is sitting at $30 trillion dollars and counting while our deficit (difference between outlays and revenues) the previous two years has been over $3 trillion. Fiscal responsibility is long gone in the United States.

More coverage like this and less sensationalist headline news, or confrontational moderators of opinion shows is how one can bring back more credibility to network cable news. Good job. Keep it up. This is what German news often do (d-radio, dw, zdf, ard).

Peter Shiff was right all along Cheers from west Africa 🦅

I'm a hoarder with my belongings, and it really troubles me... this video has shown me that nobody or no entity is ever free from that feeling - Not Even The U.S. Federal Reserve.

very high quality video by CNBC, great job by the narrator

This chess game started when Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Bank system(the privately owned Rothschild Bank) into law. Checkmate was when Nixon removed the Gold Standard.

Here’s how the fed fights inflation: Step 1: inflate the currency by printing money and backing up poor investments. Step 2: deny it is in any way responsible for inflation. Step 3: call the fast growing inflation problem in recent memory “transitory” Step 4: ignore the growing inflation rate. Step 5: Tell everyone we’re at the peak Step 6: use incrementally and pathetically small rate hikes. Step 7: back off when stock market tanks Step 8: don’t actually fight inflation.

Weren't all these people talking about transitory just a few months ago? The awesome power of hindsight!

Ok guys! Start printing money again!!! Ha ha ha Thanks for sharing guys Paul 12.43 gmt Uk cheers

the woman's view that all jobs requiring a bachelor's degree will be gone and you better get a master's degree is completely wrong. Finding a good job ultimately depends on how good you are at your skills. Degrees might help but they are not the whole picture

Your videos are always the best💯 I do receive a notification each time you post a new video.. We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

EVERYTHING IS SO EXSPENSIVE!!

To overcome high inflation, you should decrease interest rates. Erdogan tried this, now official inflation is only 70% , third party measurments hit 160%. What a huge success.

The problem with understanding inflation started when we were told that inflation was the same as the consumer price index increase. Inflation is an increase in the money supply. The break from that simple fact in discussing economics is the source of lots of our problems.

Conteúdo interessante! Sempre bom entender as inflações

HOLD MY POODLE! If all keeps going the way it is, we’re going to have pass the bar to work at Taco Bell in the u.s.

It's laughable to suggest they're trying to do anything to improve the situation.

I think it's just a worry that inflation may take a while to get under control. Realistically with 8.5% inflation long rates should be in the double digits. The reason they're still below 3% is there's still this belief that the inflation is transient. If there are signs inflation is going to hang around longer than the bond market is currently expecting, all hell is going to break loose and it's going to vaporize the stock market. Watch inflation indicators very carefully

By causing other distractions apparently

Great video

Joe and Sally Mainstreet are saying they can’t pay their bills. Most, not all, homes are bought on dual incomes. That says it all. People overpaid for homes and vehicles that will now depreciate too quickly where people can’t refinance to a lower payment. If layoffs happen, this whole thing comes down.

Short term decision instead of taking time to establish mechanisms distribute money instead of distributing to everyone with out checks is what caused. It was a necessity to infuse money but infusing for long time without understanding effects or understanding but due to political pressure keep on going is a mistake. I think it became political otherwise FED may have started woundup the selling the assets before.

Great videos and thank you. 💕 People will not tolerate greed forever! Get ready to stand long line, when the bank runs start here. ATMs empty, and cash at the store etc. Just move. Please have emergency cash to pay bills for as many months that your money is locked in the closed banks and ATMs. Stores will want cash. an cash will be devalued. I am 79, but moved to Querétaro,Mexico in 2021, because USA is too deadly and expensive. I moved to Mexico at 79, because USA is too expensive and deadly.

**I would like to suggest a video about bureaucracy (pub/priv) and how reducing bureaucracy could contribute to reducing inflation at a national and global level. And how that can save world economy.

33:32 I laughed so hard when she said "the idea that there's going to be an outbreak of inflation, you know 4%-5%, that is just not on the horizon". That lady was in for a rude awakening. I think the economy would gladly take 5% inflation over the current 8,5% (official statistic).

Every econ video I watch, I'm like wtf are they saying. I hear the words, and the syntax checks but

How do you fight inflation if every dollar is borrowed with interest from the private banks known as the federal reserve? If you have to borrow more money ( with more interest) to then pay the interest on the previous amount?

What about pumping reserves into the system and driving The Monetary Base. M1. & M2 to unprecedented levels via The #AmpleReserveRegim?

By adding gold bullion to your portfolio you add a financial insurance foundation that is a must have in today's financial landscape.

Let it crash and burn! Stop buying

Wow! I really appreciate the knowledge of Elizabeth Schulze on the current economic situation that we're experiencing.

We’ve been here done this before guys!!!! Paul 12.45 gmt Uk cheers

It is impossible to control inflation due to the large amount of debt

This an old one. Isn't it?

Daniel Marquino Dallas Fed Employee (Former) Unable to search her. Would you please provide a link so that I may study her papers or studies? PS: the lady at 15:57

Unrelated to anything important but did anyone find it strange that the same silver Corvette was featured in two consecutive stock footage videos?

The wisest thing that should be on everyones' mind currently, should be, To invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.

What the US is so good at doing: let future generations pay. Problem is that it is becoming increasingly clear that the ‘future generation’ is starting this generation!

The question should be posed to the government, what are they going to cut spending on.

Why are there parts of a video playing in a lap top... lmao

"Going to have inflation in the amount of education in America" See the problem is education doesn't actually teach useful skills. Getting a graduate degree isn't going to provide job security because the graduate degree offers no relevant skills to future employers. This already is an issue. More "education" isn't going to solve the problem, it is the problem. Job experience teaches skills, not debt-fueled "education".

The pandemic "stimulus" injections of Fed Res money created out of thin air, constitute textbook monetary inflation (raising the ratio of money in circulation to goods and services in the marketplace, aka GDP), and monetary inflation guarantees price inflation, law of Economics. Tinkering with the interest rate is not capable of dampening price inflation caused by monetary inflation. These guys need to channel Uncle Milty's lectures on monetary theory (he called this version "helicopter money".).

Long way to say: "It doesn't!"

*SPOILER … they don’t.*

*Fantastic channel and fascinating video. I was able to attain financial independence by putting in practice your advice on investment, paying off bills, personal finance and building a passive income. In my wide experience, a sure and better way of being financially stable is through constant investing.*

The central bank has kicked the can down the road repeatedly to avoid the system crashing and in so doing they have made the problem bigger and bigger. At some point we will have a currency crisis, likely after a soon debt crisis

I really believe no one knows what they're doing

No the problem is that government has a huge spending problem. It's great what they've helped with and offered but leave people alone.

Printing more fiat currency or giving billions away to foreign countries fighting losing proxy wars for us? Both seem pretty successful this far.

Easiest way to control inflation is to pay down national debt and prohibit more debt by freezing spending and stop the support into other countries until those within this country are provided for with the basic needs including, food, clothing and shelter. This country has done absolutely nothing to end homelessness, they offered nothing during the Pandemic to help the homeless population. There is no requirement for any of these States to submit payments to the Treasury when tax surplus occur to pay down national debt, placing supplemental controls of spending in place like stop gaps. Let's face it, every aspect of our lives are taxed, the inpouring of these automatic tax payments that accumulate easy revenue that is further spent before the revenue is recognized through receipt of funds is crippling. The taxation on every aspect of our lives, offers no independence thus allowing for free movement of people to experience life. Meaning, slavery was never abolished in the United States, proven to be true by taxation and policies that clearly do not represent the total population. The taglines of the United States regarding freedom and independence needs to go away, that type of promotion is in itself, Fraud by the way they walk. There is no resources backing the US Dollar, buying raw materials from other countries does not substitute the requirements to ensure that every dollar printed is firmly backed. The US has these false ideals operating in hero mode for other countries but has yet to save America from it's own policies, as they continuous engage in war to constantly justify taxation. Government employees now make six figure salaries, while the Federal Minimum Wage that was created to keep government employee salaries in alignment with medium households, not middle class America or to cause a shift of wealth to government employees while increasing poverty is not in alignment with Federal minimum standards. Local government employees are no longer required to man their jobs regardless of what emergency arises, nor are they required to work 40 hour work weeks, most of them have no job descriptions, are allowed to occupy multiple government and civilian jobs, they are not required to adhere to standards or avoid conflicts of interest at all costs, they are the Spoilage that has been allowed to get out of control. And nothing for nothing, all laws in the United States are obsolete based on the waveratures allowed by the justice system that favors government employees creating unfair and very discriminatory practices. Still, the US continues to allow immigrations, even during the 20 year wars from 9/11, there was no control that offered any level of security to those residing within the borders of this country. I dont believe the US has an overall mission, I dont believe it operates from a set of core values or principles that apply to everyone and I certainly do not believe this is even a real country by any real country standards, this is the most dysfunctional place known in the world. If there was a survey that asked everyone in the US, just one question, that being, Does it make sense to you how the United States and all these independently owned and operated bodies of government found within each State function make sense to you? The answer would be No.

By Deflating it.

I believe this is going to get worse because of the part shortage that's effecting the Logistics system. This is how it's happening: 2ndQ21 auto part shortage, 3rdQ21 semi-trucks; 3rdQ22 planes; 4thQ22 ships; and, 1stQ23 trains. I believe the global logistics system is shutting down.

Easy to fight inflation. Grow your own food and get a bike.

I am just going to comment now because I know the video will not cover it, but the fed can print money and congress can also remove money from the market through taxation. WHO they tax depends on if you have GOP or DEMs in power. We can reduce inflation by increasing interest rates across the board, hurting the middle class and the consumer OR we could tax corporations and the billionaire class to reduce debts elsewhere while also slowing spending that is causing inflation. Homeowners buying homes isn't the issue, corporate real estate investors buying up the American suburbs to create a permanent rental economy is leading to mass inflation AND a housing bubble. The Fed can't do anything about that, Congress and the Senate CAN and should protect the middle place with modern monetary theory and policy.

Peleton is tech stock?

Inflation pressures is labor market demand. Inflation not on your product but who services your product that it made.

34:33 I laughed so hard when they tried to explain how money creation and inflation is no longer tightly linked... The video states that "the US government pumped in more money electronically to the banks, so that they can lend them out, and because they are not directly given to consumers, they are not the direct cause of inflation." That is like trying to shed responsibility to the banks. When you are in a crisis, people will definitely start borrowing from banks to support their daily spending or employee payroll, which in turn, pumps money into the economy, thus inflation. So seriously, are you trying to misguide your population?

The federal reserve is doing what is sop for inflation (by raising the interest rates) but the circumstances of why the inflation occurred (aka global pandemic, war, labor shortages and supply chain disruptions) are not NORMAL. So the actions may not actually help.

We need to to start a giant lemonade stand

8.5 % yet prices are up 25-50% across the board.

A fiat currency will always fail

No mention of the huge effect the jammed up supply chain has on inflation. the value of the dollar depends on how much you can buy with it, which is tied to supply and demand. we have never had a supply problem so they think it is still demand as the cause... That is people have more money to spend, But now that is not the case. You can not fix inflation caused by supply shortages with in creased interest rates!

9 trillion. No tipping. So, 4.5 trillion on each side. Then take off whatever you need in equal amounts at the same time. Reduction without tipping

I already cashed all funds out retirement etc

Raising interest rates is unfair. They need to stop the corporations from incresing profits. Tax their higher profits, STOP THEM, HIGHER PROFITS ADDS FUEL TO THE FIRE.

Stop printing money. And stop letting banks borrow 10 times the cash that they have on hand And stop giving people ridiculous lines of credit especially on credit cards

“Tries” is doing some heavy lifting here. How does the fed even think they could control inflation when housing goes up yearly. Even with rent control, rent (our largest bill) goes up 10% YEARLY. That’s 10% inflation a year for me. So until you can actually control rents rising, you will never be able to control inflation. Rent controls are like cpi+5 or 10% wtv is smaller.

Adding more injuries to the wound or vise versa

Raising interest rates will not cool off Inflation, but will affect jobs & growth.

Can't fight inflation by raising rates a few bps each time while the official CPI is nearing 9% and the retired measurement system used during the 70s says we are at around 17-18%, with a ballooning national debt in the tens of trillions and growing, the fed endlessly pumping liquidity into the system via the overnight repo market and of course the QE even when they claim QT.

Dollar need gold backup to fight inflation.

Rates are so low it’s an embarrassment

The American public, and to some extent, the world, have been conned into thinking deflation (increased currency purchasing power) is bad. Deflation is what should be DESIRED. There are only two groups that benefit from inflation (currency devaluation), the US Gov't (or any entity in debt) and Fed Res Primary Dealers, via the Cantillon Effect. This is the primary reason why the wealth divide is so great. Unbacked and unlimited (FIAT) currency, the Federal Reserve, and a debt based monetary system are NOT good, nor necessary. #EndTheFed

Hello, I'm new to Biticon trade and I've been making losses but recently I see a lot of people earning from it. Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong

Siphoning currency supply on the hand of the people like runaway gas price is one way of controlling inflation. Transfering money from the people to few hands means controlled inflation.

A Collapse Of FED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

To fight inflation, the US brings at least 50,000 new legal immigrants every year and each new legal immigrant will spend at least $10,000 to survive for five or six months. If they can't make it in the US, the failed immigrants would at least spend around $500,000,000 for lodging, food, transportation and entertainment before returning to their home countries
