Inflation: What's The Big Deal?

Episode Notes

Over the past weeks and months, we've heard many stories in the financial media about inflation, when it's coming, and what it will mean.  Today, Ed Lambert and Alex Cabot of Birch Run Financial break it all down.

Ed talks about the massive amount of money we have flowing through our financial system, thanks to historically low interest rates, economic stimulus money, and the pent up demand that will spring once we all get vaccinated.

Goldman Sachs is estimating a 7% growth to the US GDP in 2021, a very significant number - Ed breaks it down.

With the potential of higher inflation, what should investors do?  Alex talks about which asset classes overperform and underperform in environments of inflation.

Alex also explains 4 things that we should do now:

  1. Don't Panic
  2. Evaluate Your Portfolio as it relates to your plan
  3. Look at the big picture, then dive into the minutiae.
  4. Talk to an advisor!
