You may have noticed the return of inflation recently. Supply chain price increases have turned up in Dunnes and Lidl and at the petrol pumps. This is not a temporary phenomenon. Inflation was generated in the US and imported everywhere else. The Federal Reserve was responsible because it tore the arse out of the Money Supply in 2020 when markets crashed.


So what ?

Central Banks will now try to put smacht on inflation by increasing interest rates and reducing liquidity. Share prices will fall. Speculative assets such as Bitcoin have already fallen significantly.
. It could get very messy.

If you want to make money have a look at gold. Gold prices tend to move up when chaos reigns.

"Even after the events of March 2020 [the Covid crash], forgetfulness in the markets always returns, and most people are complacent again," he says. Now, though, western central banks and treasuries are much less willing (or able) to rescue institutions, markets or investors. There is just too much official debt to manage at a time of high inflation."

Gold has always been a hedge against inflation,

20% of your portfolio should always be held in physical gold which you should never sell

You forgot the inflation.
However, post pandemic the Irish economy is actually doing rather well, it can afford to slow down a bit without disaster.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Things could get a lot worse before they get worse, Itchy. Monaghan could win the All Ireland.

Only if there is nuclear war and every other county in Ireland is nuked. Actually they still probably wouldnt win it!

No, they would mutate into having very log arms and being able to shoot with their middle foot.
