Don’t fight the Fed used to be a positive slogan. That’s not the case anymore. If anything, it feels like the Fed wants to fight us, all of us, including the stock market and the economy. The Fed is actively trying to crash the stock market, break the housing market and push the economy into a recession. How do I know this? Because Fed officials are literally telling us this every time they speak.

All of the value creation for investors comes from the actions they take in falling markets, not rising ones. If you’re not yet in retirement and not finished putting money into your retirement accounts, every 5% the market falls is an increased opportunity for you to buy things that will be worth much more in the future when you eventually sell them.

In the midst of the pandemic-induced market panic in March of 2020, I wrote a piece that explained why I was more worried about the bond market than the stock market. These were the yields on U.S. government bonds at the time: This was a waterfall all the way down moment across the entire maturity spectrum. It may have seemed bizarre to worry about the bond market when these were the trailing returns over the previous 12.

For years, we have heard that “there is no alternative” – TINA – to equities, and that thanks to the Fed, “Cash is trash.”. No longer. The Federal Reserve, in its belated attempt to fight inflation, has cranked up rates to the point where today, there is an alternative to stocks: Bonds. It’s been over two decades since the Fed first began panic cutting interest rates in response to such events as the 1998 Long Term Capital Management implosion, the 2000 dotcom crash (2001-03), the Septembe

A little less than one year ago I asked Are U.S. Housing Prices Becoming Unaffordable? At the time, the Case Shiller National Home Price Index had just hit a new all-time high for year-over-year price gains of around 20%. That meant monthly mortgage payments for median single family home prices were reaching all-time highs: But if you adjusted those monthly payments for inflation things didn’t look so bad: Adjust.

There is no lack of inflation data that we see on a near daily basis; however, the question remains – how long will this elevated inflation level last? With all the talk of inflation, several terms are thrown around: CPI, Core, PCE, and more – ad nauseam. Core CPI is an attempt to strip out the most variable drivers of inflation (namely food and energy) from the base (or “headline”) CPI number, but the costs of food and energy can infiltrate into core CPI items such as apparel and househol
