Stagflation & Unemployment - The Fed is Between a Rock and a Hard Place!

Paul SatsMate Season 3 Episode 30

Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

With all that is going on in the economy, the Federal Reserve is caught between a rock and a hard place. Currently, we are seeing unemployment tick higher, inflation tick higher, and rates start to come back down (short-term rates). 

In this podcast, I discuss how the FED is stuck between a rock and a hard place. We will see the situation further unravel as the months go on - but in the end, it is important to protect yourself with hard assets! 

  • We are starting to see the labor market cool significantly 
  • We all know the data is cooked, but Expectations in August were 75K, and only 22K jobs were added
  • Currently, we are at about a 4.3% unemployment rate, and it keeps ticking up
  • Key thing to note is the downward revisions of 911K fewer jobs created from April 24 to March 25
  • Most of the jobs now are coming from the health care sector due to aging demographics
  • Layoffs surged to 85,979, up from 62,075 in July, and this is starting to make its way into the data
  • Inflation is also on the rise, and it appears the FED has given up on the 2% inflation target
  • Some could be due to tariffs, but also increased input costs
  • Inflation is much higher than the 3.1% from my view, and if we cut rates, it will get worse
  • Protect yourself with gold, silver, and most importantly, bitcoin
  • Cash and money market account yields will drop significantly soon, and where do you think all that money will go? 
  • Do you think your yearly wages will go up by the real inflation rate of 10-15%/year?
  • How about the FED’s independence? Is it really smart to lower rates, despite inflation going higher?
  • We know the FED isn’t independent, now is the time to protect yourselves with hard assets
  • Currency will continue to debase, and dollar dominance will perish, the fiat experiment is starting to accelerate to the end
