26 million people are unemployed and the economy is at a stand still. And yet stocks down just 17% from their highs, and down less than 1% year-over-year. What is going on?

A common question in my inbox these days goes something like this: Should we be freaking out about inflation coming?

In theory, this should provide an opportunity for those with skill, or with luck, to shine bright.
