(3/9/22) The news moves markets, and as the Russian invasion of Ukraine remains in the headlines, COVID has been all but eliminated! After sanctions on Russian oil were put in place, oil futures shed 2%. NFIB Survey shows sentiment waning, wage expectations falling, and anticipated sales down. The Fed bet: raise rates or hold firm? Nickel trading suspended until Friday; what then? Manipulation of commodities markets--nothing new. Markets' next hurdle will be next week's Fed meeting. New Retirement Legislation on the way--why are there limits on saving? The demographics and math of retirement; why 401k's were a bad idea. The dynamics of stimulus checks combined with bad financial habits; how long will this inflation last? The cure for high prices is high prices.
