High Inflation is no longer the only risk to the economy according to Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chairman. Unemployment has risen over the past three months.   The "Sahm Rule" says that when the three-month moving average of the jobless rate rises by at least a half-percentage point from its low during the previous 12 months, then a recession has started. This rule would have signaled every recession since 1970. Unemployment is currently 0.43% higher than it was last year. If unemployment increases another 0.07%, one of the most accurate economic indicators predicting recession will trigger.   I believe we are in for a chaotic year and a bumpy economic ride this year. It would be wise to protect your assets. Diversify. Reduce your risk. Reduce your tax liability. Increase returns safely. Increase liquidity to take advantage of future opportunities.   This is the best time to invest in high cash value dividend paying policies and annuities in 40+ years due to higher interest rates!   You can invest in high cash value Your Personal Bank TM policies that are insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, highly liquid, and likely to increase returns for the next 5-10 years!

With monthly inflation at its highest level for 2024, Australians are changing their habits of consumption when eating out and at home. This includes buying less weekday coffees and less vegetables, while also saving up for a weekend brunch. At the same time, there's been increasing scrutiny on prices through Craig Emerson's report on the food and grocery code of conduct as well as an undercover shopping study by Choice on price differences between Aldi, Coles and Woolworths. Jane Lee speaks to senior business reporter Jonathan Barrett about why he thinks we're heading towards stagflation, how cafes and restaurants are coping with reduced demand and other ways the government could be addressing the causes of inflation

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Bob Elliott, Co-Founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited Funds, who shares his insights on how to evaluate skills from luck in investment outcomes. The discussion also touched upon the current state of inflation in developed countries like Europe, the UK, and the US. Despite recent supply shocks causing higher price growth, wages have matched or surpassed it, resulting in elevated rates exceeding central bank targets. Elliott also addressed the concerns of central bankers regarding debt and income dynamics, mentioning the risks of negative reinforcing cycles and comparing credit-driven economic expansions to sustainable income-driven ones. The speakers discussed the relationship between government deficits and economic growth, debating whether high levels lead to significant stimulus or a large debt burden. Regarding labor markets, Bob addressed the rising costs of inflation and the impact on reshoring production in the US. The speakers touched upon de-globalization, parallel supply chains, and shipping costs as causes for price increases and disruptions. The Fed's current monetary policy stance was discussed, with potential future actions debated due to low unemployment and while inflation is still above target. Bob questioned the significance of specific labor market numbers and he also touched upon why the US economy avoided a recession despite predictions. In this income-driven environment, Bob discussed the shift from growth to value stocks and the impact on investable assets in sectors with earnings and market consolidation. The supercycle in resource markets was also discussed highlighting investment lags behind demand and potential higher commodity prices contributing to inflation.

The food coolers are still mostly full, but the drink coolers are now around half full, mostly with "standard" fare from Coca-Cola or Pepsi, which I won't touch. The sad cooler with the compressor that can't get going has been left empty. Other stock in the store is in good shape; whatever minor thing we've come in here to get, week after week, has typically been here. Ours is out of nasal decongestant though, although they have some allergy products and multi-symptom cold medicines; many of the latter contain acetaminophen, a liver toxin, so are never on our list. Home Depot was next. There is still no tag on the rack of 2x4x8 studs, but a check online shows it is still $3.25. The cordless tool area in the front that is rather prominently featured just before Christmas has been almost entirely cleared out, and there is a lot of empty space there now; I'll keep an eye on this on future trips. Aldi was last. Stock levels are good. Produce isn't mounded up, but there are no empty spaces. They've had plenty of canned cat food lately. We found everything we wanted. Staple prices were: eggs: $1.65; whole milk: $2.98; heavy cream: $4.69; OJ: $3.29; butter: $3.69; bacon: $4.25; potatoes: $3.99; sugar: $3.09; flour: $1.99; 80% lean ground beef: $4.49 (+). Despite the growing escalation of the Islam vs. Civilization conflict in the Middle East, untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.699/gallon. I went out again later to Food City for dry cat food and another case of seafood Friskies cans, and there was plenty of pet food in stock there. Operation Independence Holler Roast Finances 2022 versus 2023 Main topic of the Show: If Things Turn South in 2024 Why would I do a show like this? Because it looks like the 70s on crack out there! What is impacting the economy and culture High Inflation (look up inflation for the past two years and come up with a cumulative number of 11% conservatively and 21% by some estimates) - has your income also grown by 11- 21%  Real Estate, In migration, Out migration, and interest rates  Current rate Selling now and buying the same cost home costs more Where people are going and impacts on those markets Housing scarcity Long term population expectations Boomers moving out of the workforce, into retirement facilities Move toward subscription society AKA renting your house not owning it War in Ukraine, War in Israel, War war war Election Year Technological advancement, AI, unprepared workforce, unrealistic expectations Number of government employees versus private sector employees - 17% and rising - by one single measure Medical industrial complex Obesity, diabetes, overall physical and mental health of the population - weakening citizens Aging and undermaintained infrastructure and infrastructure spending that doest address them problem I could go on and on, but without worrying about any conspiracy, there are many things in play that can, and probably will, have a negative impact on our economy at a rather large scale. Any one of these things is painful, yet navigable, but all of them together paint a picture that has been causing either panic or denial among our community and beyond So why haven't we talked much about it? (Making decisions from a place of fear is a bad idea) What could the negative look like? (Setting aside an alien or nuclear or pathogenic attack, because, really, how do you even wrap your mind around being ready for such things, we are mimicking Japan in the 80s, and can learn from that as well as the rebasing of our monetary system and high inflationary period in the 70s and 80s). Costs of things outpace income increases (This is already happening) (PANTRY CHALLENGE, FINANCE AUDIT)  Jobs could become scarce (Currently, we are in a bizarre world where it is hard to find employees that are good AND hard to find a job that is good. Let's talk about why.) Consequences of unemployment, return to a gig environment without any decent way to navigate it from a regulatory standpoint. In other words, the current environment of overregulation and overtaxation of every little thing does not play well with non-w-2 employees, but people are finding they must engage with the gig economy as a non w-2 employee to survive in a growing number of cases (GROW YOUR INCOME STABILITY).   Gaining stability through home ownership or land ownership is increasingly difficult, though not impossible. Keeping hold of property in a world where it is taxed based on current market value will also be increasingly difficult. (THE WINDOW)  Tangible assets and their value versus holding cash (RIGHT NOW YOU CANNOT SELL MANY TANGIBLE THINGS - THIS MAY CHANGE)  Technological advancements leading to job loss, getting left behind (LEARN THE THINGS YOU ARE SCARED OF, INCLUDING AI)  Necessary monetary rebasement - we've seen it before, it is a favorite tool of leaders, we expect to see it again.

On Thursday, January 10th, 1974 the crew of Skylab 4, which had been orbiting the earth for more than fifty days, was granted a day off. The week prior, during a televised news conference Mission commander Gerald Carr said he missed cold beer and football. That same day the U.S. carried out three simultaneous nuclear explosions as part of Operation Arbor in Nevada. January 13th was Super Bowl VIII Sunday. The defending champion Miami Dolphins faced off against the Minnesota Vikings at Rice Stadium in Houston. More than seventy thousand were in attendance. That evening. Floyd Kalber signed on for NBC's news with coverage of potential peace between Egypt and Israel, brokered by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Looking for a solution to the ongoing Middle East crisis, Kissinger spent ten hours meeting with Israeli officials, hammering out a proposal for a peace settlement with Egypt. He next flew to Cairo to present the document to Anwar Sadat. After meeting Sadat, the plan was to return to Tel-Aviv with Sadat's version of the proposal for Israel's acceptance or rejection. This was good for President Nixon, who despite an eighteen day birthday vacation in California, and an insistence that he would leave the past behind and focus on 1974, couldn't seem to shake Watergate, the energy crisis, and continued high inflation.

Once you decide on what name you're calling this concoction, you have to decide if you're going to actually stuff this stuff into your turkey. For me that is not happening, I NEVER stuff the turkey. I find it increases the mass and slows the cooking time down, plus I want the stuffing to be fully cooked and not have partially raw turkey juice in it. So, to make sure it's safe, and fast, I cook it separately. Lastly, I like some crispness to my stuffing, which is not attainable if it's stuffed into the bird. What you want to put into your stuffing is another decision point, they all have some type of bread but cornbread often shows up to replace basic white bread. Typically aromatics are present such as onions, celery, green peppers, bay leaves, herbs, etc. Most stuffing is moistened with chicken or turkey stock to prevent dryness. In my mind, the most important ingredient in stuffing is the woody herb sage. Sage is the glue that holds Thanksgiving together in my opinion. Sage is a strong flavor but for me, it's intoxicating and brings so many fond memories of this holiday meal we all love so much. I always have sausage in my stuffing, the kind that has sage in it, apples are also usually added for some sweetness but this year I plan to swap those for butternut squash and keep the apples on the side. Let's talk about the actual method of making the stuffing. Here is what you need: 2 half-sheet trays with cubed bread 1 large onion, diced 1 lb Jimmy Dean sage sausage 3 stalks celery 1 small green bell pepper minced 1 granny smith apple, diced 2 tsp rubbed sage salt and pepper to taste 3 cups turkey or chicken stock HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Choosing the best duck breeds for a small homestead depends on your specific needs, available space, and climate. Here are some popular duck breeds known for their suitability in small homesteads, considering both meat and egg production, as well as ease of keeping: 1. Khaki Campbell: - Egg Production: Khaki Campbells are excellent layers, known for their high egg production. They can lay up to 300 eggs per year. - Meat: While not as large as some other breeds, Khaki Campbells can still provide a decent amount of meat. - Ease of Keeping: They are relatively easy to care for and are known for being active foragers. 2. Pekin: - Meat Production: Pekins are one of the most popular meat duck breeds due to their rapid growth and plump, white meat. - Egg Production: While not as prolific as some egg-laying breeds, Pekins still lay a respectable number of eggs. - Ease of Keeping: Pekins are known for their calm and friendly temperament, making them easy to handle. 3. Indian Runner: - Egg Production: Indian Runners are excellent layers and can produce around 200 to 300 eggs per year. - Meat: They are not large ducks, so they are not the best choice if meat production is a top priority. - Ease of Keeping: Indian Runners are known for their upright posture and are good foragers. They adapt well to various environments. 4. Buff Orpington: - Meat Production: While primarily a meat breed for chickens, Buff Orpington ducks also provide a decent amount of meat. - Egg Production: They are good layers, producing around 150 to 200 eggs per year. - Ease of Keeping: Buff Orpingtons are known for their calm and friendly demeanor, making them suitable for small homesteads. 5. Rouen: - Meat Production: Similar in appearance to Pekins, Rouens provide good-quality meat and are a larger breed. - Egg Production: While not as prolific as some other breeds, they still lay a reasonable number of eggs. - Ease of Keeping: Rouens are hardy and easy to care for, making them suitable for beginners. Remember that the quality of care, diet, and living conditions also play a crucial role in the productivity and well-being of your ducks. Additionally, local regulations, climate, and available space should be considered when selecting duck breeds for your small homestead. **Please note: I have never owned a duck, so while this is informative, it's not real-life experience. To see some excellent real-world advice check out the Duck Chronicles by Jack Spirko, a YouTube series that shows just about every aspect of raising ducks you could imagine. They don't call him the redneck duck farmer for nothing! ECONOMIC NEWS: The United States economy, once considered the bedrock of global financial stability, is facing a myriad of challenges that are causing concern among economists and everyday Americans alike. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the slowing real estate sector, the collapsing bond market, soaring inflation rates, and the repercussions of sky-high fuel prices. These factors collectively pose a significant threat to the budgets of everyday Americans, painting a picture of economic uncertainty and financial strain. Moodys Follows Fitch and Downgrades US Credit Worthiness Citing high debt to GDP, interest costs rising to a trillion dollars per year, a funding crunch that seems to need a few trillion dollars every other month or so to avoid a government shutdown. Slowing Real Estate Sector: The real estate market, long regarded as a key indicator of economic health, is experiencing a notable slowdown. Housing prices, which have been steadily climbing for years, are now showing signs of moderation. This deceleration can be attributed to various factors, including rising interest rates, tightening lending standards, and a glut of inventory in certain regions. As the real estate market cools, homeowners may find themselves with diminishing property values, impacting their net worth and potentially hindering their ability to access credit. Collapsing Bond Market: The bond market, often considered a safe haven for investors, is facing its own set of challenges. Yields on government bonds have been on a downward spiral, indicating a lack of confidence in the broader economy. This collapse in the bond market can be linked to concerns about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, inflationary pressures, and the overall economic outlook. As bond prices fall and yields rise, the cost of borrowing increases, affecting everything from corporate debt to mortgage rates. High Inflation on Everyday Items: Inflation, a persistent concern for any economy, has reared its head in the form of high prices on everyday items. Consumer goods, groceries, and services are all experiencing price hikes, eroding the purchasing power of the average American. The surge in inflation can be attributed to a variety of factors, including supply chain disruptions, increased demand as the economy reopens, and rising production costs. Everyday Americans are now grappling with the reality of stretched budgets and the need to allocate more of their income to cover essential expenses. Sky-High Fuel Prices: One of the most visible impacts of the current economic challenges is the surge in fuel prices. The cost of gasoline has reached levels not seen in years, driven by factors such as geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and increased global demand. Higher fuel prices have a cascading effect on various sectors of the economy, leading to increased transportation costs for goods and services. Everyday Americans are feeling the pinch at the pump, with the increased cost of commuting impacting their household budgets. Impact on Everyday Americans: The convergence of these economic challenges poses a formidable threat to the financial well-being of everyday Americans. Homeowners may see the value of their biggest asset decline, while those looking to enter the housing market may find it increasingly unaffordable. Rising interest rates and a collapsing bond market can result in higher borrowing costs for individuals and businesses alike, stifling economic growth. Meanwhile, high inflation and soaring fuel prices contribute to an overall increase in the cost of living, putting a strain on household budgets and potentially exacerbating income inequality. Conclusion: The current state of the US economy paints a complex and challenging picture. The interplay of a slowing real estate sector, a collapsing bond market, high inflation on everyday items, and sky-high fuel prices has created an environment of economic uncertainty. As policymakers, businesses, and individuals navigate these challenges, a comprehensive and strategic approach is essential to foster economic resilience and ensure the well-being of everyday Americans. In the face of these economic headwinds, the nation must seek innovative solutions and prudent policies to steer the economy back on a path of sustainable growth and prosperity. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Hank's Belts are extremely high-quality leather belts that last a lifetime. Made in New York the company has been in business for over 70 years making these heritage belts. After tiring of cheap imported belts failing in a few months I had enough and invested in 3 Hank's Belts that I expect to use for decades. I owned a Carhart belt for 15 years that finally came apart after a lot of hard use. After living with the Hanks belts for a while now, I have no doubt they will endure. CLOSING THOUGHTS: There are many facets of a great Thanksgiving dinner, stuffing is certainly one of them.

More than any other advanced economy, the U.K. has been squeezed by sharply higher prices, but new data shows that inflation may be starting to fall. In this episode, Goldman Sachs Research's Jari Stehn, chief European economist, and George Cole, head of European rates strategy, explain why the U.K. faces a “confluence of shocks,” why inflation is likely to remain elevated, and what the implications of the U.K.'s inflation problems may mean for yields across the Euro area and globally. 

All individuals, based on their own circumstances, decide whether to save, invest, or spend their money. What each person expects to happen in the future plays an important part of the decision. This is the prime reason why trying to treat the economy as a mechanical process is fundamentally wrong. Central planners, and their use of "tools" and "models" to manipulate money always ends up in failure. Life is far too complex, and their "models" can never account for all of variables involved in each individual decision. We need sound money and free markets; not The Fed.
