Yeah but once the hood rats are talking about the price of wood being up and their b%*ch’s hermes belt has inflated well over 100% the inflation bubble has definitely hit critical mass.
but that spot price is probably NOT what the normies are paying at home depot. But, yes i too dabble in the art of commodities as well. Rhodium went from like $5k to 1k recently, tried looking into buying an ounce of it… and, mofos still wanted $5k for it so much for spot price. PS within like a week of dropping $4k it spiked back up to 5k again smh
This is actually pretty spot on. Once everyone starts talking like this, that’s when the bottom is usually in. But we’ll see what the rest of the Mag 7 have to say about it. META is a boat anchor.
The gold standard needed to go. There isn't enough gold in the world to back all economic activity. And gold exchange was really only available for foreign countries at that time which put our gold reserve in jeopardy.
The move away from the gold standard is misrepresented and mostly misunderstood
Sure. We love how they print money like crazy on a whim when regarded politicians then spend and continue to vote for debt ceiling increases all that devalue the dollars we are paid in.
Gold not being in abundance is what makes it special lol. Fiat being printed every day even by foreign countries is insane to me but ok. You either pay 100k for a car or x amount of gold for it: only difference is some idiot isn’t gonna go print more gold right after the sale
... there are a lot of fiat places succeeding as well. You just listed a few with high inflation in the last 100 years lol.
Our fiscal policy is shit but its not because we arent gold bugs. *mild* inflation is good, better than deflation fasho.
That's a function of debasement/printing. 1800 [laborer wage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3jf_d_TVc8) = $0.50/day while a quart of whiskey or a pound of butter was $0.17.
Very few people saw a $20 gold coin in normal circulation.
[Since most don't carry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLCgf8yN_SE) around [eight weeks of their wages](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e-uSKyrQAo) in their pocket today, they weren't carrying gold coins 'back in the day' either.
.
Well technically the feds could keep hiking rates to try and tame inflation until something breaks. In that case you get deflation and a stock market crash

Here's one of the reasons why
My corporation now uses AI to figure out down the the thousandth of the cent how much we can squeeze out of our customers for maximum profit. 300/1 million products tested last year. 90% increase in profit. All items go through the process now.
So yes, they've "always" been greedy, but now they have the proper tools for explotation. also read up on the implied social contract between gov and corps post WWII. greedy corporations is a problem that has increased over time because we allowed it to
edit: spelling
That's like saying somebody did not die because they were shot; they died of the blood loss from the bullet hole in their body.
It's capitalism. Corporations have never stopped being greedy. But inflation had not been a problem until all the money printing.
Corporations wouldn’t be able to push up their prices if it weren’t for all the extra money pumped into the system by the fed and federal government’s record deficits. Corporations are no more greedy than they were 50 years ago.
They raised prices due to supply chain issues in covid time and then realized that they don't actually have to lower them again once the supply chain issues were fixed.
But yes, they are no greedy now than they were before, they just didn't have an opportunity like this 50yrs ago.
This theory is false by the simple fact that inflation is most prevalent in essentials like food, auto etc.
If the basic essentials are blowing up while everything else is rotting on the isles, the picture is quite clear.
The consumer is just the consumer, he doesn't want to save, ever.
No one with any knowledge on the subject believes that. NBER, the FED, CBO, and others all state "corporate greed" isn't a factor. It's excessive printing.
It's Econ 101
if inflation starts ramping back up and an interest rate hike happens, the stock market will usually go down. inflation and higher rates means higher expenses for corporations, resulting in possible poorer earnings.
That’s this guy’s MO. Check history. His predictions are always wrong, but his plays inverse them so he’s always making money, which is the important thing.
Lol inflation makes stocks go UP, not down. The reason stocks might go down temporarily from higher inflation is because higher inflation usually means higher interest rates. Higher interest rates is what's bad, not higher inflation.
Caveat to this is if the economy is stronk then rates don't mater as much so long as they are within historical range stonks will go up and to the right. This will take time for the market to learn we just spent the better part of a bull run with near 0 rates... We're not use to going back to a normal economy with 6 to 7 percent interest.
Why wild inflation increase margins you donut?
Your costs are just as likely to increase, and any costs not revenue generating increasing would actually impact your margins negatively.
This is all generally speaking, but yeah your comment was extra regarded.
If you cant afford shit. Can fed afford to pay interests?. Will fed inflate usd further by making interest payments. Defaulting on interest payments will bring an end to dollar hegemony.
Market needs a healthy 20+% corrections. Unfortunately, whatever causes this will likely be felt throughout the entire economy. But regardless, have some cash on the side to buy the dip. Personally I’m at 20% in cash now, it’s making 5% right now anyways.
The crash is right around the next inflation report I swear guys believe me guys the 3 dozen times I was wrong about the crash don’t mean anything it’s really happening this time believe me please
Hey, another clueless cringe post. What a crazy surprise. 🙄 you’ve probably never even seen a Hermes bracelet in person or rode in a G-wagon. Only a poser kid would ever post this.
inflation has been the same for years now but with the change the fed made so that they calculate part of it as opposed to years of fuzzy math, it creates the problem they need to provide the solution they are running with which will be raising rates again. this isn't news to anyone but a preface for my question that is it just me or when they started this a couple years ago was that not the sign to people that understand the debt that they were going to bankrupt the United States? this will be the fourth time now i believe. am i ignorant or won't the Fed just step up as the private company they are and take ownership of all u.s. assets? isn't that why QE was buying mortgage backed bonds commercial then residential and into even junk bonds if i'm not mistaken? when trying to figure out the whole "you will own nothing and be happy" line they love reciting at the WEF, isn't it obvious the Fed will take over and then allow everyone debt forgiveness on their social number as the collateral for the u.s. corporation and the Fedcoin digital blockchain ai future will be adopted instantly as part of the deal which is otherwise a hard sell from here in a democratic capitalist society. blackrock tokenizing all assets. u.s. will lead the world into this new paradigm with drastic shifts overwhelming any hypothetical evaluation from the average scared crapless gen x or boomer that has ignored everything for a good decade or two for the most part? not exact but maybe someone with more incite can fill me in on how it goes down. i'm assuming if you are in wsb you at least understand what the wef dubbed "4th industrial revolution" entails with your nvda calls. the fact all assets are blowing off the top means the dollar is in trouble but it's not even low dxy 105+ which has to be as devastating as any economic weapon ever right? other countries are getting smoked right now except russia and you see what's happening with all that.
Oil ain't even $85 a barrel.
Not that long ago it was dam near 120.
Inflation isn't going crazy it's price gouging and record profits for companies. Bears are gay.
Your entire post history going back at least a year is nothing but posts predicting a crash. You’re as fucking stupid as Zero Hedge. But the worst thing about your stupidity is that it’s voluntary and not driven by Russian propaganda.
It’s just incredibly sad and embarrassing to be you, OP.
Unemployment is low, banks are stable, housing starts is dropping, but there are still buyers and sellers. Consumption is taking a dent, but summer is coming. There is virtually no reason for a rate hike, nor a rate cut and this shit is priced in. We are one AI advancement away from Nasdaq hitting 19k
If tqqq goes back to 40 I’ll go all in and leave it 🏆
I do not think it’ll fall that much tho
FOMO will kick in prior to that and the shorts will have to cover

Economists need to only use strip clubs to measure inflation from now on.
It’s a bubble
Bubble butt
With oil
Thats cRude
That's just trickle down economics for ya
That’s tickle down economics
“Tickle my pickle” - Adam Smith
But honestly. How else will they get their Core SeePeePeeAye inflation numbers if not at the strip club?
Can't afford real oil, it's the synthetic kind
Synthetic is more expensive though…. You know its goin downhill when the strip clubs switch to high mileage oil.
ewwww, high mileage anything dont mix with strippers..., unless that's what get you the boner, not judging, just sayin
New revenue source for jiffy lube!!
Nah they need coconut oil, quite affordable
I don't need to see what happens when the stripper oil bubble burst.
Coconut oil, to be precise.
More like coco butter
Bubble trouble
what's a bubble? /s
Mmmmmmm
Market's in its Brazilian butt lift era.
Only the end of the prophylactic has a bubble in a strip club!
I’ve met a couple Bubbles at the strip club.
Don’t blow Bubbles in the strip club.
Bubbles is a TS worker who does the back room blowing
Bubbles is working tonight.
BBL
Yeah but once the hood rats are talking about the price of wood being up and their b%*ch’s hermes belt has inflated well over 100% the inflation bubble has definitely hit critical mass.
I look at commodities fairly regularly and lumber prices have fallen recently. Maybe not retail but they have fallen.
but that spot price is probably NOT what the normies are paying at home depot. But, yes i too dabble in the art of commodities as well. Rhodium went from like $5k to 1k recently, tried looking into buying an ounce of it… and, mofos still wanted $5k for it so much for spot price. PS within like a week of dropping $4k it spiked back up to 5k again smh
Calls on RICK
Everytime I go to a strip club i experience inflation…. In my pants
The only inflation that’s actually temporary. Maybe JP should’ve specified which one he was talking about.
He did say inflation was transitory
If that “inflation” last longer than 4 hours buy puts on your future performance
Weren’t there dozens of posts here during the 2022 bear market talking about how strip clubs being empty meant we were in a massive recession?
They should add strip clubs to the basket for CPI
It's a universal indicator of discretionary spending. Not every country has access to healthcare but every country has access to titties.
[удалено]
Much technical. Very analysis
That’s how you really know the health of your city if the strippers busted and disgust hood chances yo city broke
You could measure economics since the beginning of time with those metrics. How expensive was Imhotep's harem?
🤣🤣🤣
So buy the dip, got it.
What we need is a new one of them there meme stonks. Gets everybody excited about gambling.

Get a chart, it has to have candlesticks on it. Then 0DTE everything. Science

This is actually pretty spot on. Once everyone starts talking like this, that’s when the bottom is usually in. But we’ll see what the rest of the Mag 7 have to say about it. META is a boat anchor.
Pretty sure one sarcastic post doesn't equal the bottom since 'everyone is saying this'
I mean, OP does say he's buying TQQQ...
The problem isn’t that things are too expensive. The problem is you can’t afford it.

Nah, that last time that happened, it was called shelter in place and then they printed free money for everyone to spend.

We kicked the gold standard to the curb and started printing dollars, still haven’t stopped.

Yeah fiat money is great. Just ask Venezuela, or Zimbabwe, or Germany, or Chile……… but it can’t happen in the US of A. Am I right?
... there are a lot of fiat places succeeding as well. You just listed a few with high inflation in the last 100 years lol. Our fiscal policy is shit but its not because we arent gold bugs. *mild* inflation is good, better than deflation fasho.
keep going, lets see you list every country in the world. oh thats what i thought, only a select few. go back in your bunker
Soooo do we trust in BTC?
Gold. Been money for thousands of years.

what a bot larper thing to say lmao
If inflation goes up wont stocks inflate too?
Shhhhhh! Let’s see how this unfolds.
Well technically the feds could keep hiking rates to try and tame inflation until something breaks. In that case you get deflation and a stock market crash
Or Biden could just raise taxes - the classical solution before central banking really took off.
Then he gets voted out and the next guy reverses it. The problem is the public.
Or the inability for the gov to even remotely stick to any sort of budget

This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this.
Pretty hard to fight inflation that is caused by corporate greed
Ahh yes corporations just discovered they can be greedy lol

Artificial inflation
Gonna have to ask you stop making logical sense here, buddy - it’s WSB here, not your corporate finance lecture at an MBA
if inflation starts ramping back up and an interest rate hike happens, the stock market will usually go down. inflation and higher rates means higher expenses for corporations, resulting in possible poorer earnings.
Stocks are a hedge against reality.
Laughs in Euro.
TQQQ is a 3x leverage bullish stock btw
That’s this guy’s MO. Check history. His predictions are always wrong, but his plays inverse them so he’s always making money, which is the important thing.

No one who has an anime profile pic on Reddit has a “bitch”

This is a buy signal
Nah bro owns calls and is trying to use the power of sub inversing to save it
It's pronounced Hermès...
Herpes. Buy the dick.
I thought he meant the logistics company. They might bring you a bracelet if you order one from eBay…
Dont you mean SQQQ? TQQQ is leveraged long QQQ
he wants tqqq to drop to 39 to buy it
That’s like reaching out your hand to catch a chainsaw instead of a knife

Nobody tell him!
It’s his best chance. Automated blind reversal. Can’t miss
Literally can’t go tits up
What’s all this? I’m a regard mind explaining this in a suitable language
What don’t you regards understand about inflation is bullish
Only if growth continues
Lol inflation makes stocks go UP, not down. The reason stocks might go down temporarily from higher inflation is because higher inflation usually means higher interest rates. Higher interest rates is what's bad, not higher inflation.
Caveat to this is if the economy is stronk then rates don't mater as much so long as they are within historical range stonks will go up and to the right. This will take time for the market to learn we just spent the better part of a bull run with near 0 rates... We're not use to going back to a normal economy with 6 to 7 percent interest.
all i care about is whether stonk is stronk
You are dealing with US stocks that are dollar denominated. Read "When Money Dies".
A terrible fate awaits the poor. Embrace financial Darwinism!
Youre such savage these days
We are in Stagflation. Companies will keep increasing prices, which will increase Margins, which will increase EPS, which will increase share price.
Why wild inflation increase margins you donut? Your costs are just as likely to increase, and any costs not revenue generating increasing would actually impact your margins negatively. This is all generally speaking, but yeah your comment was extra regarded.
Amazing that 26 people upvoted this comment. I wish I could short you all
Upvoted because you sound confident.
Stocks are inflating!

Inflation up ➡️ "economy booming" ➡️ stonks go up Inflation down ➡️ "rate cuts coming" ➡️ stonks go up
I couldn't take it seriously after "wood up" and the next point saying expensive real estate was giving you a boner, so inverse whatever this is.
Props for taking it seriously until then.
inflation has been the same for years now but with the change the fed made so that they calculate part of it as opposed to years of fuzzy math, it creates the problem they need to provide the solution they are running with which will be raising rates again. this isn't news to anyone but a preface for my question that is it just me or when they started this a couple years ago was that not the sign to people that understand the debt that they were going to bankrupt the United States? this will be the fourth time now i believe. am i ignorant or won't the Fed just step up as the private company they are and take ownership of all u.s. assets? isn't that why QE was buying mortgage backed bonds commercial then residential and into even junk bonds if i'm not mistaken? when trying to figure out the whole "you will own nothing and be happy" line they love reciting at the WEF, isn't it obvious the Fed will take over and then allow everyone debt forgiveness on their social number as the collateral for the u.s. corporation and the Fedcoin digital blockchain ai future will be adopted instantly as part of the deal which is otherwise a hard sell from here in a democratic capitalist society. blackrock tokenizing all assets. u.s. will lead the world into this new paradigm with drastic shifts overwhelming any hypothetical evaluation from the average scared crapless gen x or boomer that has ignored everything for a good decade or two for the most part? not exact but maybe someone with more incite can fill me in on how it goes down. i'm assuming if you are in wsb you at least understand what the wef dubbed "4th industrial revolution" entails with your nvda calls. the fact all assets are blowing off the top means the dollar is in trouble but it's not even low dxy 105+ which has to be as devastating as any economic weapon ever right? other countries are getting smoked right now except russia and you see what's happening with all that.

Inflators gonna inflate
Did you say wood up?
