The Inflation of the United States

Famed value investor Bill Miller of Miller Value Partners joins Ariel Investments co-CEO Mellody Hobson to share investment advice as war abroad escalates and inflation at home rises. Some of Miller’s biggest positions are in Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta, and he says, Meta stock is cheap, and the case for bitcoin is strong. Hobson says value investors are enthusiastic about leisure and entertainment stocks, like hotels and casinos. Joe, Becky, and Andrew break down President Biden’s first State of the Union address and consider Russia’s implication for the oil markets and America’s tolerance for more inflation. Plus, Elon Musk noticed he and Tesla were missing from the President’s speech; the Squawk team considers how the two might repair their relationship.
