As Hank Williams Jr sang, "The interest is up, and the stock
market's down.". In this Part 3 of a 3 part mini-series on current
market conditions, Josh and Jay discuss the top of mind topic for
most consumers right now, inflation. From home goods, construction
materials, energy, groceries, transportation, fuel, gas, traveling,
heck, even Chick-Fil-A, consumers are dealing with rising costs
across a variety of goods and services. Some companies are
combating that with what's called "shrink-flation" but even so, the
inflation numbers being published are still at historic highs. The
hosts discuss and explain how inflation is actually a measure of
the rate of change and how core inflation is different from the
overall inflation rate. They also discuss the similarities and
differences to what America experienced in the late 1970s and early
1980s. Lastly, the hosts discuss "momentum investing" and how that
might be a potential tool for investors to participate in those
industries that are doing well in this economy.
