(5/4/22) Today's FOMC meeting will reveal what Jerome Powell & Co really think about the economy, and how the Federal Reserve intends to address inflation: Corporate earnings are decent, but forward guidance is sucky. What we mean when we say we're "taking profits;" how to adjust your portfolio strategy for risk, and why cash is king. Don't confuse narratives for returns: Indexes paint a different view than what's really happening in the markets; the guaranteed returns of Bonds; the surprising proclivity of cryptocurrency investors to gambling; housing valuation compared to stock markets; the impact of the velocity of information; why a buy-and-hold strategy does not work.
