Can you say online sales?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/...velopment-usa/

Traditional brick and mortar (indoor malls) holiday business will likely continue its death spiral, while online shopping continues to grow

The ongoing global microchip shortage will likely impact availability of a variety of products.

Overall profitability will not be known till 2022.

You're pretty sure, eh? Sure enough to take all of your money out of the market and put it into gold?

They don't care.. the Biden government is out to rob us anyway they can to bring in more illegals and fund them with free college, free food, free housing . It is in that huge bill the dems want to pass.

If you don't make more than 75k don't worry about it. If you make 250k-350k then I would save going back 14 years.
They are hiring many tens of thousands more IRS workers to look into bank accounts and anyone with over $600 will be on their screen. They will also look at our transactions.

Meh, as long as there is a growing supply of cheap labor in the world, inflation will remain tame, particularly considering the US, the world's biggest consumer, is in decline as a consumer nation.

Do you really think those rates will rise enough to offset high inflation? 30 treasury would have to spike above 5% just to keep pace and we know that ain't happening.

And this is common knowledge. One of the ways the fed keeps the stock market propped up is by keeping the interest rates low. About a year ago they announced a small increase, and the next day the market dropped significantly. They backed off, seeing the results of a interest rate jump.

I thought everyone knew this.
No. HELL no.

Real estate, stocks, precious metals, commodities, crypto - any of those will give a better chance that inflation doesn't erode the spending power of cash.
