  2. I don't think it will go dramatically down. But I also think it is impossible for it to go up another 20-30%. The economy is great and companies are still increasing their profits. My guess is the market will be more or less flat for the year.

  3. Yeah... because interest rates are so low, lots of companies are borrowing at 2% and then doing stock buy backs and increasing their dividends. Honestly, Hertz is just going to go bankrupt again in a couple years and that's probably their plan all along.

  9. Thanks nolimit! I try to resist just going with the flow of thought and I'm not interested in click baiting people and wasting their time. There's just too much real substance out there to actually be talking about. Cheers!

  11. Hey Brice! I can look in to it. Dividends on REITs never get long term capital gains rates. That's the most important difference. Cheers!

  13. Inflation means everyone is charging more for their goods and services. Everyone's reported revenue will be going up. However, earnings are the difference between revenue and costs. As long as proportionally a company's costs don't grow faster than their revenue, then they should be fine. Holding index funds protects you from inflation since it is all baked in to the valuations.

  14. Fun stuff Brandon. I can look more in to this and maybe make a video about it.

  15. Nah, they aren't idiots. They knew inflation would go this high this fast. Everyone saw this coming. This is what they wanted all along is what I argue.

  18. I think the Wal-Mart specifically in Minot, North Dakota is an exception. There is a severe labor shortage in northern North Dakota as young people for some reason don't want to stay here after graduating high school. All the fast food places in town are advertising $16-$18 a hour on their boards desperate for labor.

  19. That has been the trend the last 40 years...

  21. For sure, people already living in poverty for whatever reason are going to be hurt the most by all of this as whatever level of assistance they get will not keep up with high inflation and their personal costs will go up. But... that might be kind of the point. There are winners and losers from every decision in life unfortunately.

  29. Well... people have been predicting the economic collapse of the United States for over a hundred years now. Our government institutions keep finding a way to kick the can down the road and everyone just goes along with it. I'm going to keep investing and planning for everything to turn out fine. Don't really want to live in the world that the other type of people are planning for.

  30. Nah... large fund managers are just trying to take profits on large positions thu/fri before they take 2 weeks off for the holidays. Low trade volume will cause the market to slowly drift back up the rest of the year.

  33. Inflation being higher than the wages of government employees (like members of the military) is the point. It is helping to control costs for the government.

  51. Hey Kiran! It's never a bad time to buy a house if you will be holding that house for longer than 10 years. If you are looking to flip a property... be careful.

  52. Yep! If I could buy US Bonds for 15% a year guaranteed, I would literally put every dollar I owned in to US Bonds. Glad you found the video informative! Cheers!

  54. I think the Fed is just a concentrated center of power. Their decisions has to create winners and loser. This of course is going to upset people and foster conspiracies. But at its core, I think it is just made up people who think they are trying to do what is best for the country. Cheers raymond!

  57. The economy is great. Companies have never been doing better. The stock market is just a valuation given to the performance of those companies. Objectively... right now the stock market is overvalued. So it might fall or stop going up, but that doesn't mean the economy or companies will be performing bad. Bottom line, the Stock Market is NOT the economy. They should correlate, but they can diverge whenever they want for any reason.

  58. More or less!
