Wage Inflation Delayed Recession

Wage Inflation Delayed Recession

Deflation of Wages Ended with Covid

I’ve been very focused and consistent on this message since my client post October 2021: Deflation of Wages Ended with Covid.

Fast forward, and this has proven to be a durable theme for 2022 and 2023 – even as core CPI (consumer price index) has decelerated from 9.1% in June 2022 to 4.8% in June 2023.
To be clear, wage inflation is a lagging indicator, but one that can support inflation in becoming entrenched. That was my bet when I warned clients in October 2021 that bonds were at risk.

Quiet Success

Quiet Success

Each year I reflect back on my biggest successes and failures. The failures occupy the majority of my thinking the majority of the time, simply because I am so committed to overcoming where I have fallen short of my goals. It’s the same mindset as my pinned tweet:
Every successful trader was once an amateur that never gave up.
