As expected inflation increase slowing down, far above consensus

Long
FRED:CPIAUCSL   Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average
So here is a big surprise hey: As I said it would be, the inflation numbers are far worse than what was predicted by the consensus of mindless trolls managing billions or advising billions, and it is likely to continue for 3 years. Once again it was even higher than the upper end predictions.
The increase was only an increase of 0.4%. For now it is slowing down. I do not know what their plans will be in the next years: buy as much time as possible (stay in the status quo of the last year), or increase inflation hard to redistribute wealth, or follow what Japan did?

Of course, even if the numbers were far beyond predictions, it did not stop trollvestors from being positive and throwing money at the us dollar, 5% isn't that bad and the increase in inflation is slowing down (and they are mega biased).


Herds and whales have their bias and they will keep throwing money where they want to throw money.
Reality does not matter much in this game. I don't even know how autists can make money (they do not understand emotions and irrational clowns).
Michael Burry shorted debt way too early, and he bought GME because the price was below value and then got out too early, I guess they can make money carefully analysing 10-Qs and numbers and taking position when the numbers are way disconnected from what they should be. But then they need to either buy and hold shares for as long as it takes or some special tools like options and CDS because their timing is always terrible and the price can go strongly against them (longer than they can stay solvent).

I guess eventually if inflation keeps going the USD will have no choice but to drop. The whole planet is not going to put chains around their necks and become slaves to the USA. But do they plan on keeping it up? And how high? I cannot tell when it will happen if they do keep inflation up. Once it starts (continues) there are ways to join the trend. Till then USD will continue to grow more overvalued. Is 5% enough to clear the debts over time and pay for social programs? Would take a really long while and at some point maybe the world isn't going to want to pay a 5% premium to a nation-bank for the privilege of storing their money.

Next CPI numbers here is my call: 5.5%. I guess we end the year at somewhere around 5%. They do not have crazy plans afaik.
Plus the fools they leech won't be startled at 5% on the year, got to take it slow, like a boiling frog, or a better example would be "like a boiling human" I don't know what frogs have done they are better at noticing change than humans, if they want to increase inflation further (or don't want but want things that increases it and can't avoid it) it is better to wait 2022 and slowly prop it up to say 9% then once dum dums start to worry slow it down to reassure them and let the rate up there and let them get used to it and see it as normal. 10% is a psychological barrier so best to avoid it for a while.
