Michael Pento: First Disinflation, Then Deflation, Then Big-Time Inflation
Suddenly investors are panicked that (hyper)inflation is taking over.
But what if they’re mistaken? That could be a costly mistake if they’re betting their portfolio’s future on it. Because there’s a strong case to be made that we’re now actually entering a period of dis-inflation, one that has a high risk of tipping into outright deflation by next year.
To argue this, investment manager Michael Pento, who pulls no punches, joins Wealthion for this video explaining why the Fed and Congress don’t currently have sufficient air cover to continue the same magnitude of stimulus the market is now addicted to — and thus won’t be able to resume it until after the next painful market correction arrives.
Michael then proceeds to explain why the bond market is such a ticking time bomb right now for investors.
And, of course, he shares his views on his favored asset classes for each stage of the upcoming progression he sees:
1. first disinflation, then…
2. outright deflation, and then…
3. a hugely inflationary response from our central planners
