When companies announce big layoffs and cut wages, it's obviously bad.
Everyone gets that.
But when the companies hire a lot more people and jack up wages, that's also bad?!
Unfortunately, yes!
Because, as we saw Friday, it means the Fed's going to get even more spooked about inflation and will jack up interest rates even faster.
Folks at the White House would have you believe they can have their cake and eat it.
They say they can kill inflation without crushing the economy.
Or that they can pump up the economy without inflation going haywire.
Fat chance!
Never forget, the Fed's wild-and-woolly $8 trillion in money printing in recent years didn't just prop up the economy ...
It also puffed up the biggest speculative bubbles of all time. And there's no way to let the air out of those bubbles gradually.
This is why stocks have already sustained their worst first half of a year since 1970.
This is why financial assets as a whole, including bonds, have already been hit with the worst wealth destruction since the Great Depression.
And yet, in this economy so thoroughly hooked on funny money, the Fed has barely BEGUN to inflict the real withdrawal pains.
Imagine what will happen the next time the Fed raises interest rates! Imagine what will happen if they DOUBLE rates, as they've promised!
What's a true solution for investors?
For my own money, let me tell you what I'm looking for right now …
I want an investment that's mostly isolated from the day-to-day volatility of the stock market. No crashes, please!
I want the ability to target strictly the companies that could surge in bad times.
I want an investment I can buy in small amounts — so I can still keep a big chunk of my money in cash.
I want an investment that can be held for as long as it takes. No expiration dates, please!
And needless to say, I want something that gives me a fair chance to knock it out of the park.
I'd be delighted with 100% returns. But heck, even returns of up to a million percentage points should be possible.
Sound like a pipedream?
I can assure you it's not. In fact, we've just identified what we believe is the #1 candidate for this kind of opportunity.
