    Thanks Adam. I don't see how interest rates can be raised much when public and private debt are so high. I also wonder how much ESG considerations will contribute to inflation given that switching to alternative energy sources will not be cheap or quick, and there is no replacement for oil which is used in so many products.

    I am glad your guest gave his personal (approximate) portfolio position.
    This should be standard for any guest appearing on this channel.
    As a newly retired (sort of) person, and listening to the well reasoned views by numerous guests, my portfolio is about 15-20000 better off than it would have been this year.
    The hardest decision to make is to follow up on that decision.
    Thanks Adam!!

    Inflation - the increase in money supply.
    The Fed - the organisation that has, and continues to, massively increase money supply.

    How it ends is self fulling. Cost of goods go up, people stop buying, companies close, economic markets collapse, people start working for less money just to get a job and it's a total reset. Liquidity is gone, markets correct through a depression and we're good to go again. Just have to get past the pain.

      It’s going to happen, or else they wouldn’t of even write it, released it, included it in their calendar…….. if you do research on the top 10 cryptos you will find one that has partnership with a bunch of central and regional banks. Buy as much of that coin as possible because that’s going to be replacing the petrol dollar in international monetary exchange/settlement. Which means that the effect this will have is that the petro dollar will go bye bye lol. There will be a digital US dollar but it will NOT be the worlds reserve currency. It will be included in a basket of the top 5-10 world currencies that determine the price of what eventually becomes somthing like the SDR which will replace it as the worlds reserve cirrency.

    I hear ya, Axel... I'm geared toward miners (precious and base metals) and streaming royalty equities. Probably 70% of my stocks are in miners. The Great Bear takeover was a nice catch, although Kinross has a role in that nasty accident in Africa that demolished a town. And we get Kinross shares for Great Bear shares. Vale has some problems with tailing ponds that are failing, and while I don't own it, Glencore was in The Panama Papers and will have to pay some back-taxes. But crypto is showing it's on par with Pet Rocks when it comes to 'stores of value'; Russia and China are socking away the yellow metal. Platinum will have its day again when they start making cars. And companies like BHP and Mesabi Trust offer great dividends. It should be an interesting 3Q22...

    Mathematically the Federal Reserve can't tame inflation and the absolute value of the federal debt is greater than the gross domestic product any interest rate increase would cause guest service on the federal debt to spiral out of control almost immediately example 10-year treasury treasury go to 4% most of the federal debt is on a short rollover term it's not in finance long-term as it rolls over into higher interest rates the weighted average cost of the debt increases dramatically once it reaches 3% interested over a trillion dollars a year and climbing boom!
