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.

Is SHIBA INU Back In Good Graces

I was an early SHIBA INU token holder after it was launched as the DOGE coin killer. At the time of its release I "dollar cost averaged" small bites of SHIB. It was easy to buy and hold during the year of the pandemic.

As the markets have begun taking, I ton a different stance with regard to cryptocurrency investment. With the stock market tanking and easy money drying up, I also had to liquidate ALL of my tokens. The only holding I've held exclusively over the past 5 years has been HIVE.

The Shiba Inu token is hosted on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. The cost of transactions on applications hosted on the Ethereum Blockchain generally go up when the gas or transaction fees rise, which happens when too many transactions occur at a given time that clogs the network.

We may be witnessing a small bear market bump so I've been adding back sone SHIB tokens.

It's become an easier buy for me since many of my exchanges and wallets take my debit card for the purchases of cryptocurrency with my fiat dollars.

Time To Take America Back

Next month we have midterm elections slated for November 8th. In my state of Florida we have already began the early voting process since October 24. Early voting will cease on November 6th for the state of Florida.

I'll be voting in person at my local polling place. Luckily my voter registration was fixed to include my current address. Or I would have had to votw a few miles away.I found this kind of weird since I did vote for President Trump on my birthday in 2020. Here's a tweet that I found very interesting this morning. Isn't it weird how smaller countries can register and hold elections without a bump in the road?
