Summary:
The CPI is raging at over 8%; experts are suprised, but Matthew Johnson is not. In this episode, Matthew covers some of the conditions that have led up to this point—noting that when we shut down the economy, we severely disrupt the economic conditions and supply chain. We cannot reverse inflation quickly; however, we can take advantage of some of the investing opportunities that are available at the present moment. Tune in for more insight.

Highlights:
-Why should anyone be surprised by these numbers? They shouldn’t. We are an optimistic bunch, and we don’t like to acknowledge the thrashing of the economy
-When we shut down the economy, we severely disrupt the economy and supply chain. You can no longer conduct normal business
-our expectations are misplaced if we think we can slow down the economy/reverse inflation quickly
-Raising inflation exacerbates inflation
-When you have a supply problem, you need capacity
-The Fed is focusing more on the symptoms than the ailment
-You can take advantage of prices when they’re down, and then when things come back, you’ll have exponential growth
-We discuss the benefits of fixed income—which refer to real individual contracts (i.e. bonds, preferreds)
-Use this as an opportunity to add to your portfolio of good quality companies
