Elon Musk is feeling it, meanwhile, I am experiencing it. My investment portfolio is currently down by about 30%, and there's no hope in sight. Everything is just getting very expensive, my retirement draws nearer. At this point, I am just praying to somehow scale up my returns, draw even and sell off. Any tip or info on how to go about this will be highly appreciated as I am losing my mind.

There will be blood on the streets middle income and low income will be hurt the rich dont care this is why I support workers unionizing because the rich are robbing us

Proof-of-work on notice in that brief energy discussion.

Inflation is really caused by three things  1. Low wages  2. Tax avoidance  3. Outsourcing  Everything after is just reactionary and not the cause.

As someone who grew up in the '70s ... yaaaawwwwwnnn.

Mr.Brooks and Allaire were solid. Totally flawless delivery. Spot on in every way possible.





That first 5 minutes is the longest time I ever listened to Maxine Waters without having to facepalm.

Nice how Cramer used "breaks" instead of "brakes."

I didn't know Bob Saget was Brain brooks uncle. Very interesting discussion .

I dont want answers, I want my money back. All my 10K

They're talking about run-of-the-mill inflation driven by wage-price spirals, and saying that's how you get an inflationary spiral. In my mind, that's not the only way. We have a fiat currency and it's value is really derived from people's faith in it's value. You can print money and encourage borrowing etc, but much like stock market bubbles, there is a tipping point in there when all the feedbacks turn from negative to positive.  Normally, you hold money, it holds it's value, there's no real push to gain or spend it. If you think inflation is going to increase, it now becomes a hot potato that you want to spend as soon as you get it. You do this by buying useful assets like houses, land, food, things you need. When everyone does this it drives up the price, which would normally dampen demand, but if the expectation that money will continue losing value and the price will only increase, then the price doesn't matter anymore. Sellers can ask arbitrarily high prices. But who's going to sell into this and accept that money? Thus supply goes down at the same time demand goes up, further exacerbating the situation.  The government has been pumping new money into the economy to try and stimulate it, yet velocity stays low. Who needs to spend all that money under normal circumstances? But what happens when it all starts losing value? All that "cold" money suddenly turns hot, and the *effective* money supply suddenly increases. Meanwhile, everyone is also incentivized to borrow as much as possible to "short" the currency, further increasing the supply. But who wants to lend into this? The credit market slows, and the government steps in as "lender of last resort" again....using printed money.  Meanwhile, the massive amounts of money tied up in the stock market suddenly need a new home. I mean, who wants to hold a stock when all you can get out of it is increasingly worthless money. You paper gains are impressive, but it's only a reflection of the fact your asset is losing value, because the only value it has is denominated in dollars (rather than any kind of tangible use).  I mean it goes on and on. Wage-price spirals may be a part of 'normal' inflation but they don't really play into hyperinflation.
