INFLATION:
On December 11th, overall inflation across all items rose by 2.7%, year over year. In terms of where inflation is most persistent, Food at home increased by 1.6%, food away from home (like restaurants), is up 3.6%, Motor Vehicle insurance is up 13%, Health Insurance is up 6%, and Energy is Down by 3.2%.

On top of that, it’s estimated that “Shelter, which has about a one-third weighting in the CPI calculation, accounted for about 40% of the total increase in November" and, in this case ”the shelter index rose 4.7% on a 12-month basis.”

STOCK MARKET:
If we go all the way back to the 1920s, there have only been 9 times where we’ve seen more than a 30% return in a year – and, with the exception of the Great Depression – there usually follows more positive returns in the years that follow.

However, Warren Buffet is taking a more cautious approach while he sells massive positions and sits on his largest cash-pile of all time, at $325 billion dollars. On top of that, one economist was quoted as saying that “The stock market is in a 'mania' that will push it higher before a potential 26% drop in 2025.”

HOUSING MARKET:
Despite mortgage rates being their highest in 20 years – home prices have continue to grow, with the average home rising 5.9% since December of last year. In terms of which markets are seeing the biggest increase, Detroit Michigan saw a 15% gain year-over-year – followed by Chicago at 13.5%, Newark at 11%, and Cleveland at 10% – with the hardest hit being Austin and San Antonio, Texas – having fallen 3-4.5% over the last 12 months.

MY THOUGHTS:
In terms of the stock market, I think it’s important to keep in mind that – even though stocks are expensive – relatively speaking, based on history – honestly, no one has any clue what’s going to happen in the future. I’m still just dollar cost averaging, and I’m not deterred whatsoever by all time highs.

    Keep reassuring me that my index fund auto investments are the “boring” but right choice plz! I need the hodle encouragement

    • @pdxmusl1510 says:

      Also… remember that for a buy and hold strategy. The price today doesn’t matter at all. Except in the case where if its low.. you might want to consider buying more index funds and less restaurants, entertainment, vacations, new cars, etc.

      The only prices that matter is the buy price. And your future sell price when you retire.

  • @jaquevius says:

    I’m 55 yo so my long term 90% stock portfolio started becoming irresponsible, so a week ago I dropped it to 35% to take the profits. The fundamentals guarantee a crash, but it’s possible the government can keep printing money to prolong it even longer. I’ll just take the 4.5% t bills and when it finally crashes, will dump it back in.

    • @HankArtie says:

      I’m 65 and last week I moved to 70% cash waiting for the bargain hunting to begin… I hate sitting on $800k but at least it’s earning close to 4% 🙂

    • @jaquevius says:

      @@HankArtie exactly. A large percentage of cash is a poor long term strategy, but earning risk free 4%+ and preserving capital at our age just makes sense. Even if the last stages of hysteria drives it up another 15% before the large correction, so be it. For decades I’ve just dollar cost averaged with a 90% stock portfolio without even looking at the market, and honestly didn’t even know I went through some of the prior corrections because I had so much time to recover and mathematically it made sense to keep investing in stocks during all time highs etc. However, this one feels like it will be a huge correction, and now at 2.9M the market swings are unsettling. For instance the market dropped 3% yesterday alone. If that was all in stocks that would have been a 90k paper loss in a day. The volatility and likely steep future drop have my attention now with the sheer numbers involved with my portfolio and time horizon. I feel like I’m transitioning from aggressive growth to capital preservation now. I may just be spooked and have gotten too conservative at the moment, but along with passive income from my business, the risk for return that I’ve previously been unconcerned with is now screaming in my ear.

  • @garnold-l5p says:

    Investing after a rate cut can be good because it usually boosts economic growth, leading to higher corporate profits and stock prices. Plus, lower rates can make stocks more appealing compared to fixed-income investments. I hope other investors realizes this..

    • @Raniyanhunter says:

      Absolutely, the current market will definitely give opportunities to maximize profit, but in order to execute such effective transactions, you must be a pro or work with an investment advisor

    • @Anessa-gibson says:

      I agree. Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It’s not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations

    • @tanyabischoff says:

      This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment.

    • @Anessa-gibson says:

      My CFA is Judith Lynn Staufer, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market. To be honest, I almost didn’t buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.

    • @tanyabischoff says:

      Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really needed it. I looked her up on Google and explored her website; she has an impressive background in investments. I’ve sent her an email, and I hope to hear back from her soon!
