Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Energy Edition June 14, 2022 Big Picture. Big Profits., News, Oil
- You know what really gets my goat? Plenty of things, to be honest. But the goat-gettingest thing of all is deliberate, self-interested spin masquerading as “research” on critical issues. Energy is a case in point.
The Fed’s Battle Against Inflation Isn’t Over June 10, 2022 Big Picture. Big Profits., News, U.S. Economy
- Big Tech stocks have bounced back in recent weeks, thanks in part to signs that inflation might be slowing. If so, the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes would be near their end — but I'm not so sure. Today I'll show you why inflation is nowhere near over, and why the Fed's weapons to fight it off are weaker than they've ever been before.
How You Can Escape the Fed’s “Teddy Bear Picnic” - Last week, I wrote that in its quest to defeat inflation, the Federal Reserve wants to make investors like us poorer. The “wealth effect” says happy and bullish investors tend to spend more money than sad and bearish ones. So, as far as the Fed is concerned, plummeting portfolio values are a good thing. But that’s only part of the story...
The Fed Wants You to Be Poorer May 31, 2022 Big Picture. Big Profits., Investing, U.S. Economy
- The theory of the “wealth effect” says that people feel more financially secure when asset values are rising. That makes them more likely to spend. Ergo, if you want people to spend less, asset prices must fall. That’s a risky proposition. But with inflation running at the hottest pace in four decades — and with the gridlocked federal government about as effective as a wet paper towel — the Federal Reserve is taking that risk. As I’ll show you in just a moment, this gamble could have devastating consequences for Americans’ hard-earned wealth. But you don’t have to take it on the chin. Here’s how to make your wealth increase … even if the Fed does its worst.

- Many investors are worried about inflation. But I’m concerned about a much deeper trend with serious long-term implications. It stretches all the way back to the beginning of COVID-19’s supply chain disruptions, a “Bullwhip Effect” that could rip through retailers and portfolios. And today, I’m showing you how you can avoid it…
Bank on This 15.6% Yield May 24, 2022 Big Picture. Big Profits., Investment Opportunities, U.S. Economy
- You can certainly profit by using a stock’s price history to spot opportunities. But in times of major upheaval, like today, “technicals” are a poor guide. Normally, reliable information on the history of individual assets is overwhelmed by external factors. In this case, I prefer to focus on the Big Picture. And right now, the Big Picture is telling me to be opportunistic … but to let someone else do the work.

- In history, some of the BIGGEST rallies have occurred in the middle of bear markets. Look at the dot-com bust or the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, each of them had powerful rallies in an incredibly short amount of time. So, the big question is: How do you know when they’re going to occur? Ted Bauman and Clint Lee give you the three conditions to look for and the sectors to hone in on.
