There is an inflationary connection among energy, housing, and wages. Louis Gave, co-founder and CEO of Gavekal Research, recently said that most economic activity is simply transformed energy of one sort or another. Modern economies developed as we found more efficient energy sources, moving from coal to oil to natural gas and nuclear. Now we want to transition from carbon to renewables like solar and wind.

New guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance says the 43% of Americans who are fully vaccinated can safely stop masking most of the time. But the CDC also says masking should continue in healthcare facilities, on planes and other public transport, and in businesses that require them. And masks are still recommended for the unvaccinated population—which (for now) still includes almost all children under age 12.

According to some analysts, higher inflation is on its way. Americans will spend like crazy and drive prices higher as the pandemic recedes. That’s the theory. It may be right, for a while, but we also have other problems. For one, the pandemic hasn’t ended; it’s simply become optional. Most US adults can now “opt out” by getting vaccinated.

According to some business owners and Wall Street pundits, US employers can’t hire enough people because unemployment benefits are too high. We’re paying people not to work, they say. Certainly, some people who could work are milking the system. That’s sad, but is it the only reason all those jobs are unfilled? Probably not. Nonetheless, several governors have decided to end the federally funded enhanced benefits.

James Bianco, president of Bianco Research, thinks most of the near-term inflation he foresees will be demand-driven. The fact that a lot of people have a lot of spending money will push prices even higher. At Mauldin Economics' 2021 Strategic Investment Conference, he posed the question: Where did this cash come from? Check out this chart.

The Detroit Pistons won back-to-back finals in the late 1980s. In a league dominated by giants, they won with little guys. They had their bruisers, like Laimbeer, Rodman, and Mahorn, but the backcourt was the engine of that team. Even though their guards powered the Pistons, the game was still played inside. Today's teams win on the perimeter. The most dynamic backcourt today is the Golden State Warriors, led by Klay Thompson and Steph Curry.

Put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket very carefully. This is the advice from a legendary money manager, Stanley Druckenmiller. In 30 years of managing money, he compounded at over 30% per annum* and never had a down year. When it comes to investing, few have ever done it better. When it comes to giving investment advice, I think this is pretty lousy.

This describes the state of the food delivery business, which according to the founder and CEO of GrubHub, " is and always will be a crummy business."* It's hard to believe he actually said this, but then again, he's not lying. You might recall a few years back when he basically said the same thing using different words.
