Random Gleanings: Persistent Inflation? Thumbnail

Random Gleanings: Persistent Inflation?

Where do markets go from here? Chris starts with an interesting chart on where we were through 48 trading days (March 11) compared to other worst starts to a year, and the surprising results for stocks for the remainder of those other years. He and Jesse then talk through a uniquely challenging difference we are facing in 2022 from the other top years... Rising Inflation! The big question then is whether the Fed beginning a rate hike cycle (0.25% earlier this week) with an expressed commitment to stymie inflation will be enough???

Random Gleanings: Buy the Invasion???

This week in the market we saw the S&P 500 dip into correction territory while the Nasdaq composite got down into the dreaded Bear market. All of this and we saw a hot war kick off with Russia invading Ukraine. YIKES!! In this update, the fellas at PP&W talk through what historical precedents suggest, how the consumer and Corporate America are looking, and more.

Next, Chris speaks to the varied results after earnings calls from Google, Amazon, and Facebook... one of these is not like the others! The guys then talk through the difference in economic sector performance year to date, and Chris closes with a rant on the Olympic scenery. Enjoy!
