Back to EpisodesInflation is blowing up the bullish thesis
Description
Happy Valentine's Day!
First, I take a victory lap for another successful Super Bowl prediction… sort of: I told you not to listen to me, and I was right!
I highlight why this was one of the best Super Bowls in recent memory—despite the fact that my beloved Eagles should have won… and the NFL is a bunch of a**holes who should be ashamed of themselves.
Turning to the markets… The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came out this morning. I break down why the numbers cripple the bullish thesis… and how consumer habits are about to change.
More bad news for the bulls: Earnings estimates keep coming down… and I expect several quarters of lower earnings. I explain why this—combined with several other risk factors—is creating a recipe for disaster.
Bottom line: This market should scare the hell out of you.
Fortunately, there's a simple move you can make today to protect yourself…
