In fact, three of these stocks, I’m adding to our 2022 Bow Tie Nation on portfolio. I started warning about inflation back in May of last year, when the consumer price index was only up 4% for the year and everyone was saying higher prices were only ‘temporary’! A year later and consumer inflation has jumped to 8% but Nation, higher prices are about to get shockingly worse and every investor needs to be ready! In reality, most of the time, you don’t have to worry about inflation affecting your stocks. Research by Hartford Funds on stock returns and inflation since 1973 breaks the market into four periods. When inflation is low, under 3% a year but rising, stock returns beat the inflation rate 90% of the time…so nothing to worry about. When inflation was high, so above 3% on a year-over-year basis but showing signs of coming down, stock returns still did pretty well, beating the inflation rate 76% of the time. When inflation was low, so under 3% and falling, here again, stocks ended up doing well, beating the inflation rate four-out-of-five years or 81% of the time. It's only when inflation is above 3% a year and rising, that’s when you have a problem and that’s when you need to worry about this. During those years, high inflation getting higher, which is exactly what we’re seeing how, stock returns were no better than a 50-50 roll of the dice. Nation, we’ve been watching inflation run higher for almost a year now, so why am I saying things are about to get worse? Why is it NOW that I think higher prices could really accelerate and start hitting stocks? One thing you need to understand is how important expectations are on inflation, the idea that once we start down that path of higher prices…people start to expect it and that actually pushes prices up even higher. If people think prices are going to keep rising, they ask for higher raises and they don’t pull back their spending when inflation hits. Nation, this can all become a vicious cycle of higher expectations feeding into higher inflation until we’re at double-digit price increases and it’s starting right now. When the Consumer Price Index, the CPI, which is the main measure of consumer prices in the United States, when that is released on April 12th, it’s going to show the highest inflation since 1981…possibly as high as 10% on a year-over-year basis. You see how prices have already surged to 8% a year but that jump to double-digits is about to take this to a whole new level of panic. 0:00 How to Invest for Inflation 1:22 5 Stocks to Buy on High Inflation 2:47 Inflation and Stocks - History of How the Stock Market Reacts 7:57 Why Inflation is Increasing 12:58 Best Stock and Stock Sectors for Inflation 🤑 Get The Weekly Bow-Tie - my FREE weekly email newsletter sharing market updates, trends and the most important news!
