Synopsis

Daniel and I start today’s show by discussing the biggest risk to the market: inflation. While some data shows inflation is peaking, we break down why consumers will see elevated prices for a while. Next, we highlight the government’s blame-shifting narrative around inflation and soaring costs… what’s really driving higher food and energy prices (hint: it’s not Putin)... and the best way to bring prices back down. And we explain why you don’t need to wait for a market bottom to start picking away at the best stocks. We also discuss the Securities & Exchange Commission’s (SEC) proposed changes to “payment for order flow”... and whether this game-changing proposal is good or bad for individual investors. Finally, I share why I believe Bitcoin will go over $100k.
