Why Market Timing Is A Must


The only way the Fed could possibly bring inflation down to their target (2%) is to crush the economy and push unemployment rate to somewhere between 8% to 10%. So, are they going to do that? Not likely because raising the Fud funds rate beyond 6% and it keeping there even for a couple of quarters would balloon the budget deficit to over $1.5 trillion in 2024 and over $2.0 trillion in 2025.

Indices are very likely on a new bull leg and will continue going higher because there is a good chance now that the market has accepted the fact that an average inflation rate of 5% and average long-term interest rate of 5% are the new norm. The era of "free money", i.e. under 3% interest rates, is over.

My Plan

I didn't close any of my long positions last week. With SGS changing its status to LONG now, I'm planning to buy XLF (10%) and XLV (10%) sometime this week.
