Generationa...

Re: Financial topics

I have come round to Vince's way of thinking for 2022: The greatest issue is inflation. For 2021 the CPI was 7.0% and the PPI was an increase of 9.7% Using the TIPS versus Treasurys spread the financial markets currently expect CPI inflation for this year (2022) to be near to 3.5%.

Re: Financial topics

Yes, I agree Higgie, a very interesting market. The old traders expression "bulls walk up the stairs but the bears jump out the window" is mostly true, so I have a feeling that some fireworks might happen between end January and second week February.
