Episode 327:  Wage inflation is good for those that are productive.  That’s because inflation is price beneficial to all appreciating assets, which includes productive employees and companies. 

If you’re a quality high performing employee, then you should be using the pressures of wage inflation to secure a pay raise.  But you probably won’t get it unless you ASK for it.  So make sure your achievements are being recognized and then aggressively ask for the pay increase that you rightly deserve.

For more information about getting RECOGNIZED as an employee or small business, please listen to my recent interview with Nicole at the Living Free in Tennessee Podcast: https://www.livingfreeintennessee.com/2021/05/12/get-recognized-with-john-pugliano/

Episode 326:  The subtitle to this episode could be: Why lumber prices are so high but timber prices are so low.

Bottom line, the media narrative of hyperinflation is much ado about nothing. 

Over the short term, I don’t see the FED raising interest rates nor curtailing easy monetary policy.  Transitory inflation is being caused by short term shortages, not long lasting scarcity.

The “experts” were wrong in 2018 when they said the “inverted yield curve” would cause a recession, and they’re wrong now about hyperinflation.

Episode 321:   COVID 2nd Wave & Election volatility are hitting the markets again.  So is this a time to panic or buy? 

I can’t tell you what to do, but in this episode I explain what I’m calling my COVID90 portfolio.  These are the 90 individual stocks that I’ve purchased for the inevitable post-COVID recovery.

------------------------------------------------------

Episode 320:   The rotation rally looks like it has fizzled.  The S&P 500 keeps failing at its 50dma.  That’s a good indication that the market is headed lower.

------------------------------------------------------

Episode 319:   The stock market has fallen for three straight weeks.  There are mixed signals that this selloff could simply be a Rotation out of overbought Tech stocks and into Value and Cyclicals.

 On the other hand, with over 41% of the S&P 500 already in a Bear market, maybe the Correction has just begun.
