    The professor knows best. Seems not many went to his class.

    Watching this 4.22.22 & inflation is 8.1% supposedly going to 9.5% in May. I'm single childless with no debt. I'm just going to work(stay childless) n invest in dividend payers for next 3 yrs.

  3. AS1313

    What about danger to losing principal with stock ownership. 20 to 50 percent if it crashes

  4. Jorge Ramos

    Listen to the profesor he knows his stuff. The only way he is wrong is if the Fed ignores the real circumstances as they typically do.

    <There's no doubt in my mind that we
    are not only going bull, but BTC is going
    nuclear. A lot of people are wondering
    if now is a good time to buy because of
    where the price is at right now. l'd say it's
    outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and
    wait maybe incur some losses along the
    line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor
    because as an investor finding ways to
    always increase and stack up more coins
    thereby making profits should be the
    way of lifeThat being said, the market
    is still all about BTC at the moment and
    I'll advise current investors and newbies
    to take advantage of Mathew Nicholls's
    program, a pro trader who runs a training
    program for investors/newbies who lack
    understanding on how trading Bitcoin
    works, to help them recover loss from the
    crash and also accumulate more bitcoin,
    with his program i went from having 1.3btc
    to 9.8btc in just 5 weeks. You can reach
    him on T, e, l, e, g, r, a, m, (@MrsLisaExp) let's make the best of whatever we can>

    The day this was filmed Lumber was at 650. Starting 2021 it was at 717. Now its at 621… The professor seems a little qwackish.

  7. THOMAS ED

    Sadly I think he’s right….there’s no hiding from high rates of inflation in corporate bonds and treasuries. And where will the majority of stimulus dollars go? They will end up on the balance sheets of common stocks.

  8. Tarredandfeatherable

    Because the Fed is buying 120 billion in bonds every month supporting the price… the Fed doesn't give a crap if it buys worthless assets….good smack down in the end

    Which means the price of stock are way above the values of the goods they represent and with inflation there is no chance of equalizing those values with prices. The value to price ratios are out of sync with the total amount of working time goods need to be made and can only be equalized by a crash. For working people they are looking at longer hours of work in their struggle against inflation. For bondholders higher interest rates cushions value depreciating in the bond relative to inflation and for people with savings the higher rates is a benefit. For investors and borrowers the rates set higher makes the cost of money more expensive and if it become cheaper to live off one's own assets than to borrow against them the demand for luxury goods will fall, where most of the social labor has been going in the last five decades, we can expect a massive layoff in these markets. For would be new home owners the real estate market has buyers with a lot of money pushing house prices higher limiting the number of buyers,–are pushed out of the market and end up in less expensive homes in more remote areas of the country encouraging car dependence and accelerating the rate of climate change. A pretty dismal picture.

    wapner is sooo dumb…..

    Love this guy!

    This is the flaw of capital based economies. When everything is transformed and tied to financial transactions, you lose the ability to keep a stable currency because people move based on emotion and the story of their life. Not what creates a stable price index or currency value. And that’s not even touching on the actual actions of people responsible for our financial system.

    Clown. Go buy AT&T and Verizon

    This professor is giving us the ⚠️,

    AMC , IS THE ONLY PROTECTION WITH MASSIVE GROWTH WHEN IT SQUEEZES, DURING THE DOWNTURN. PERIOD.

  16. Craig Metcalfe

    Jeremy is all over this again! Why do you think that Berkshire invests in dividend paying stocks but don't pay dividends themselves.

  17. Isaac Shapiro

    If the fed says “transitory”, can it not manipulate rates to get there?

  18. Y M

    These guys are so full of crap. Dividends don’t do anything except transfer value from the share price to the shareholder bank account. Stop acting like dividend paying stocks are somehow different from others. You still get the same value

  19. d

    I always look forward to hear Mr. Siegal's take on the economy. He's the expert.

  20. Jonathan Sloane

    Lumber peaked at 1670 and was 540 today. That's not inflation, that's deflation. Inflated asset prices are bound to deflate eventually.

  21. Tom Kim

    Jeremy!!!
    You are old and i am young but you got my vote. Bitcoin is crazy and not real assets. In these day, many people go for crazy stuffs. I respect your knowledge, experience, and thought. I will stay and go for selective stocks, not crypto (fake cousin of hard currencies).
    I am with you. You got my vote. Grandpa Jeremy. I will look forward to hearing more stories from you.

  26. Tamay Ozgokmen

    "you are an alarmist"??? what is wrong with you man?? We are clocking 5+% CPI and you are accusing a well-respected guy for saying there is inflation. Between you & Cramer, it is no wonder that I never tune on CNBC. I saw Siegel's name and watched this video…

  27. Titus P

    Scott is not getting the message … the BOND market can be behind the curve like the FED and long yields are driven more than just inflation …it is now driven by ignorance and fear (they will – fact : be hit by the incoming inflation). Prof Siegel is an amazing resource …but his communication is a bit off … heed his words … like the 60's and 70's … the FED and the Bond market are behind the curve. There will be hell to pay 😛

  28. mulvey0731

    Dividends don’t matter in rising rates. Cash flow matters. Cash flow companies that happen to pay dividends will do well in a harsh environment. Low debt and cash on hand will be key.

    Housing, Gas, Health Care, FOOD, are seeing OBSCENE INFLATION !! But you can buy a T.V. made in China for 300$.

  31. Silver Stacks

    Inflate away our debt.

  32. seancarristhebest

    Inflation is the goal. They are monetizing the debt. Its not really a secret.

  33. Robert Slate

    Scott Wapner or whatever his smug ass name is Mr what about lumber!
