Jim returns for Part 2 of his interview with Stephanie Pomboy in which he explains that, should the Fed pivot back to easing before inflation is fully tamed, it risks re-igniting the CPI back up as high as a horrific 15%   He also shares his reasons for thinking that CBDCs are inevitable -- in fact, already in progress. https://youtu.be/KoVm4BsmSpk Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim is concerned we may be heading into a recession+liquidity crisis similar to what we experienced during the 2008 GFC. A financial crisis spreads just like a virus does. The contagion equation is the same. Shifts in narrative/confidence can cause fear to spread quickly – sometimes creating the bad outcome it’s afraid of (e.g., a run on the bank). Or sometimes the opposite (e.g., asset bubbles). The Fed pivot narrative brought a lot of capital back into the market, which resulted in the July rally. But the “logic” behind this narrative wasn’t necessarily correct. But it drove prices higher…until Powell brought the hammer down at Jackson Hole. The fundamentals can’t be dismissed no matter how much the market would prefer they could. The markets are dreaming of a ‘soft landing’, but Jim thinks it’s going to be more like a plane crash. The rate of change of the Fed Funds Rate is staggering. Never has it risen by such a big % this fast. This WILL shock the system. For example, bonds & housing are going to get clobbered. The damage these fast-rising rates are going to cause is going to be severe. https://youtu.be/A18Q-dJAa9A Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I-Bonds continue to offer a great deal here, especially while the CPI remains so elevated. They currently accrue interest at 9.62%. That's exempt from state & local taxes. Plus your principal is guaranteed by the US Treasury. Who wouldn't want a risk-free high return like this, particularly in today's shaky markets? The knock on I-bonds is the $10,000 per calendar year purchase limit, But there's a little understood strategy that allows you to buy much more than that -- right now. To find out how to put up to $150k (or more) into I-bonds for the coming year watch this new video. https://youtu.be/nQUfCcXRNts Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The global energy crisis is suddenly thrusting nuclear power into the spotlight.

Now that strategy is being called into question, as calls for more MORE nuclear energy suddenly mount. Where is nuclear energy likely to head from here?  Will we see more or less of it over the coming decades? And do the answers to these questions present opportunities for today's investor?
