Current Market Forces and Forecast For Small Investors.

Fidelity Investments is the brokerage that I use now. I came across using Fidelity's brokerage services because of all the Wall Street shenanigans I endures from places like Robin hood and WeBull in 2021. I learned a good lesson from these two latter brokerage services. I will get into this lesson learned in a different post. 

This week's investment info is centered around the current state of recession and inflation that we find ourselves enduring.

When it comes to inflation, the past couple of decades have been unusually tame relative to the rest of modern history. In fact, from 2000 through 2020, inflation averaged about 2.1% a year, as measured by the US Consumer Price Index (CPI). Interest rates repeatedly hit record-setting lows over that time as well. Those were likely some great times for investors—and for borrowers—but it was an aberration historically speaking. That may help explain why today's 8.2% inflation rate feels so painful.

Even with the willful disparities of the Biden administration. We small investors need to keep on the lookout for equities that.may be on sale in this down market.
