The Federal Reserve has been making "significant policy errors" for many years, most of them fairly obvious. So while this time it has done faster damage, which looks a little different, the damage continues. We might be doomed.
It is clear that the ECB is not looking very closely at inflation, or that they simply choose to ignore what they don't like. The prices of food have already inflated more than 4%, and show no signs of being "transitory".
Of course it has been clear that their agenda does not include the good of the lower 80% of the population. Very typical indeed.
This is indeed disturbing, mostly for being correct.
Who does inflation injure? That is simple to answer. Inflation injures ALL who are not able to easily increase their incomes or their assets that hey are needing to live on. That seems to include the bottom 80% of the population. it certainly includes ME!
Perhaps holding those in the federal reserve personally responsible for the results of their actions would be a start toward correcting the problem. That means they would have NO Protection against legal judgements. A lack of armor often slows down a warrior, and encourages careful thought.
The big problem with debt is that eventually it must be repaid. Of course, in our case those saddled with the mountain of debt are not even born yet. That seems rather unfair, doesn't it?
Of course things are different! On top of the hysteria enabled by faster communications than ever before, we are in the middle of a panic situation lead by folks who do not understand the reasons for an arriving climate change. And, in a panic mode, rational thinking is seldom part of the action.
With a fair portion of the market activity driven by emotions what else would be expected? The panic will run it's course and then coast to a stop, and when all of the corrections have done their correcting, things can continue, but not as they did before.
Unfortunately the change for half will not be for the better. Who wins and who loses is only a guess right now.
The fact that five giants are doing well is a good indication that the five giants are doing well, and really not much else. Their situation is unique and in addition, they have resources that others are not big enough to have. So if one has invested in any of the five giants they are doing well with that exposure. If not, Your results may differ.
It seems that the "transitional" inflation has transitioned and continued inflating.Only a slobbering fool or an enemy agent will think that this is good. There is this seriousproblem now and no way to slow it even if they wanted to.
So it seems that many stocks are doing well in spite of the unemployment jump. The amount was unclear, was it419,000 more! Or was that 419,000 instead of the anticipated 350,000? A bit of difference there.
