Summary:
With the appearance of inflation getting better and prices going
down, is it a safe time for investors? Furthermore, what should you
be investing in right now? Matthew Johnson from Johnson Wealth and
Income Management comes on the show to talk about this. Growing up
with a Father that ran a business himself, Matthew has always been
attentive to things like interest, and has noted the way that
inflationary effects have shifted over the years. Matthew debunks
various misconceptions about the root of the problems, and
addresses some of the things to be attentive to going forward.
Highlights:
-The CPI only rose at 8.5%, gas prices are going down…is it a safe
time for investors?
-Why is this inflation different from the last?
-Johnson’s Father was a business manager, and he recalls learning
about interest at a young age. He has been able to observe the way
in which things have changed
-Inflation is not as transitory as people believe. One of the
biggest misconceptions about inflation is the Fed being able to
drive down demand. In reality, demand is not the problem; there has
been little investment in the supply chain, which has been the real
culprit of many problems
-There are so many areas besides gasoline that need to be
addressed
-Stimulus checks increased the money supply, and the current issues
we’re seeing are purely economic
-Matthew works to help people use the money they’ve worked hard to
save as income
