There are three types of investors during every bear market. The first investor is always looking for signs of a bottom. They'll say things like "They're throwing the baby out with the bath water." Or "Look how much we're down!! There are no more sellers." For this first group, hope springs eternal. The second group always thinks we're going lower and is convinced that every rally is of the bear market variety.

The U.S. inflation rate came in at 8.6% at the end of May, which was the largest annual increase since December 1981. Unfortunately, high prices won’t disappear overnight. Inflation comes down slowly, usually after a period of monetary policy changes by the Federal Reserve. That’s why we’ve seen gradual interest rate increases this year. The hope is that they will mitigate the rapid inflation, and slowly bring prices down to where they should be.
