    • Investing

In this week's episode, we spend the bulk of our time talking about inflation. It has been one of the most frequent questions we have received recently. When you Google search, "Is inflation coming?", you seem to find that for every alarmist article citing inflation fueled market crash is imminent, there is another article suggesting that there is nothing to worry about. We break down some of the top reasons for both arguments to help our listeners understand some of the dynamics at play. Big picture, however, inflation and rates will have to normalize at some point. Those who have investment horizons of 10 years or less until retirement will want to be very vigilant in how their investments are allocated. Asset allocations may need to adjusted in more seemingly drastic ways to be able to expect the required rate of return to get some individuals to the finish line. We dive in. We also casually chat about why we love Roku and how they make money, and why the stock's massive valuation MAY be justifiable!
