Mixed Signals and the Sidewalk Dance Written by Steve | Published: May 17, 2024 | Have you ever been walking down the sidewalk while heading straight towards someone coming the opposite direction? Then you both move to your right and then both to your left only to be in the way of each other. I always get a chuckle when this happens because it’s almost like a short impromptu dance as you are giving mixed signals on which way you are going. Mixed signals are definitely what we are hearing in the market place this past week. On one hand you see announcement that inflation has cooled from 3.5% to 3.4% (which doesn’t include, food, energy i.e. fuel and housing by the way) And then the same week you get charts like this showing that China is dumping US Debt and other nations are following suit. This is accelerating the debt bubble the US and other governments are stuck in, and the only way forward is to keep printing money. This means…higher and higher inflation to come. Thus lowering the standard of living for many people. But, it doesn’t have to be that way because… There is a systematic way to not only protect your wealth but to grow it significantly during these uncertain times.
