Beware Deflation Ahead (Part 2) Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

Deflation Ahead!

No... We are not nuts. Most people are yelling and screaming about inflation. So why are we yelling about deflation?

Here's the scoop.

We have received our share of hate mail over the past few weeks since we came out with the claim that we may experience deflation by year end. Most of the messages were angry that we changed our mind. Yet, not one person has refuted our claim with any solid argument.

Its important to understand this point. Inflation and deflation can exist at the same time. The only difference is your point of view and what you are measuring. However once you understand why we are saying deflation could happen by year end, it will all make sense. Join us this week where we further discuss our thesis on deflation.

Its Valentine's day... Send us you love... send us your hate... Just send us something with your thoughts. Cheers

Beware of Deflation – What You Need To Know About The Coming Deflation Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Beware of Deflation! What?!?

I thought you were warning us about inflation.

Things are changing quickly. There is new information you need to know about the economy. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, you need to hear this episode. I do an analysis of why I think deflation is a real risk and what you need to know. Deflation or bust.

The composition of the CPI in the US:

Housing: 42.1%
Transportation: 17.4%
Food and beverages: 15.1%
Medical care: 7.3%
Recreation: 6.1%
Other goods and services: 4.5%
Apparel: 3.3%
Education and communication: 3.2%

Tesla dropping prices is deflationary... So is the drop in housing prices, drop in energy, and other areas which are bound to happen soon. We don't have stagflation yet... but it coming.
