Should We Brace For Higher Unemployment?

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/07/01

To investors,The unemployment rate in the United States is sitting near historic lows. This is impressive, especially post-COVID chaos, because it took nearly a decade to reach the ~3.5% unemployment rate after the Global Financial Crisis in 2008-2009.My concern at the moment is there is a strong probability that the unemployment rate will push higher over the coming weeks and months. The Federal Reserve is being forced to tighten financial conditions in an attempt to bring down the 40-year high

G7 Bans Gold From Russia - Does It Matter?

2022/06/27

To investors,Most people’s attention has been on the accelerating inflation and reactive monetary policy decisions in the United States. This is the problem that we can see when we go to the store and it is the problem we feel in our wallets. The problem is complex though. It can’t be attributed to any one issue, so it is important to continue to zoom out and see the entire playing field. One of the developments on that global playing field in the last few days has been the G7 decision to ban

To investors,The best companies create categories. They are able to identify new technology and apply it to solve large problems globally. These category creators are able to disrupt legacy companies, even if those legacy companies have significant scale, because the new technology allows for use cases that were previously unavailable.

Bitcoin Value vs Price

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/06/13

To investors,Bitcoin’s price has been falling for months and now sits under $25,000. Although these price drawdowns never get easier, they have happened numerous times over the years.

Inflation Is Out Of Control

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/06/10

To investors,Inflation in the United States was reported at 8.6% this morning. This is the fastest year-over-year growth in over 40 years. The most concerning part of this report is that economists and market analysts believed that inflation had peaked in March at 8.5% and was going to start trending downward in April and May. We saw 8.3% in the April report, but the May numbers surprised these “experts” to the upside. Inflation hasn’t peaked and is continuing to accelerate higher. There is plenty
