THE RECENT INFLATION REPORT:
Inflation came in at 7.5% year over year, the highest on record in the last 40 years. That’s because it’s reported that now 80% of all US dollars in existence were printed in the last 22 months…and now that our economy has, for the most part, completely re-opened…that money is driving up the cost of everything around us…leading to the highest inflation that most of us have ever seen in our lifetime.
The main category that gets the most attention is what’s known as “CPI INFLATION,” which stands for the Consumer Price Index. This covers a weighted average of the most frequently used purchases….and, is tracked on a year over year basis every single month.
From all the research I could dive into on a Thursday night, every aspect of CPI is being constantly adjusted to reflect for quality increases, quantity decreases, new features, and keeping that as consistent as possible….BUT, since technology is giving us so much more, for less – there is a DEFLATIONARY ASPECT to this number which could weight it as being somewhat unreliable for certain people’s experiences…although, ultimately…no measure is perfect, and that’s just the reality.
In terms of WHY INFLATION is so high…besides low interest rates and a surplus of money printing…we’re in a unique position where we have several forces all working against us, at the same time. For example, we have what’s known as “DEMAND-PULL INFLATION,” where demand outpaces supply…and, as a result prices rise. We also have “COST-PUSH INFLATION” while supply is temporarily restricted from supply chain and labor shortages….causing prices to rise even more.
In terms of the market, though…worse inflation readings INCREASE the likelihood of a LARGER RATE HIKE when the FED meets in March…and, that’s seen as a NEGATIVE for stock values, as borrowing gets more expensive.
See, prior to now – the market was pricing in the 100% chance of a rate hike in March, with the most likely outcome being a quarter point increase…and, a 28% chance of a HALF A POINT INCREASE…BUT NOW, after the new inflation reading…futures showed a 62% chance that the FED will raise rates by half a point…and, other metrics showed that increase as having a 95% probability of happening.
In other words, the one thing the market HATES is UNCERTAINTY – and when inflation comes in higher than expected – it sends the market into a frenzy to price in the worst case scenario – so, your portfolio sees some red, as a result.
During times like this, I’m a huge fan of focusing on what you can control – and, even though you can’t control whether or not Chipotle raises the cost of a Burrito – you can control your positioning in the workforce, being a price-conscious spender, investing consistently, diversifying into assets that hedge against inflation….and thinking long term.

Hey buddy, I think you're over thinking this.
It's as simple as, if I get paid 10$ a hour and gas milk and housing goes up 50% it makes me get paid 50% less, which means my 10$ a hour just changed to a 5$ a hour wage.
I am praying for God to heal my family! Money is rising and the recession will run its course but we should all pray and ask God to help us. We won't survive another recession and Biden is the worst President EVER! Those ppl who voted…..are idiots
In summary we’re fcuked
If we could drill for more US oil instead of buying more expensive foreign oil (shipping costs), here are some benefits: Lower gas prices, lower consumer good prices, create good paying oil jobs, increase everybody’s disposable income, create more jobs, etc. Please explain if you think I’m wrong.
No, you are not wrong. Thanks Mr. Printer!
CP LIE
Graham, have you read Ludwig Von Mises or Murray Rothbard?
This shows that democrats can't run a country
Guess what the most likely outcome is when the stock market hits a new high? More highs! By waiting, you miss out on more gains
the price of everything also went up cause a buncha small businesses closed so now the remaining big business can charge what they want cause there is less competition
Graham is misinformed about inflation. I would suggest finding a more qualified inflation expert before making any financial decisions.
Thanks for the great video 🙂 To battle recent inflation, I am doing a 365 challenge right now. Not to spend a single penny on fast food, dining and convenience food (mini markets, junk food from grocery store, etc..) 50 days in and doing well 😉
Why did you tell us in your other video that you're selling off your real estate properties is you're banking against the USD

Graham’s strategy is to live below your means and invest the difference. Every financial decision that one makes from the most insignificant- buy off brand and make a YouTube video of the purchase so YouTube pays you for your time. To the largest decision: buying a home- buy a duplex so renters pay your mortgage. He offers a kajillion tips on how to save money with his reaction videos.
Most margins tripled, if these greedy shareholders and ceo’s had an earnings cap none of this would be happening!
Bidens America
Hedging inflation with a nice S&P 500 ETF like VOO makes sense. Throw in a nice tech ETF like FTEC just for good measure
If you listen to a teenager who speaks about investment you probably deserve to lose your money in the market.
Thanks joe Biden, thanks
Refinanced my house from a 6% unfixed to a 3% fixed. Cost me 1k in fees and crap, but well worth it over the next 15 years lol.
Are you hiring? What positions are you looking for? I'm located in Vegas
Hey Graham, there's always talk of inflation are there instances where the opposite happens and prices go down ?
These problems were not here when Trump was in office…..take the hint….just come out and say it–democrats suck. You voted for it people so you got it.
Yes I'm going to be investing in this dip. And yes im going to be planning for 20 plus years. Stop being so grim!
Graham, I just posted a video of what I think are good dividend stocks to buy right now, what do you think of the list??
Is this dude a real human being or an AI robot? serious question
