Inflation reached a decade high in 2022, and the feds jumped in to rescue the balance in our economy.
As we begin 2023, high-interest rates, inflation, and fear of recession has created a trifecta. The fear has pushed savvy investors on the sidelines, and approximately Three Trillion US dollars are sitting in money market accounts.
Are you Saving and holding your money out too?
Some view inflation as a foe as it can erode the purchasing power of consumers and destabilize markets, but is there a way it could turn into a friend?
Let’s hear from Ben Fraser, with a wealth of knowledge on economic megatrends as your host, Madhavi, engages in a lively and informative conversation with him that covers a range of topics related to inflation, such as the importance of following economic trends, how covid shaped the economy today, and what is the best asset class to invest in right now to get the most out of your investing dollar.
Whether you are a seasoned investor or simply interested in learning more about economics, this episode is sure to provide a very simplified “outside the stocks” insights and perspectives on the topic of inflation and how you can be on the right side of this giant.

According to the US tax code, rental real estate is a passive activity, but for those who have experienced it in real life, we beg to differ.
The risks of rental real estate:
