A breakthrough that presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fast-acting investors.

Just go here for full details.

Prices Rose More Than Expected in January

The Labor Department reported this week that inflation went up 0.3% in January. This was higher than the 0.2% increase economists expected. The December increase was 0.1%.

Core inflation, which doesn't include food and energy prices, went up 0.4% in January. That was the biggest monthly increase since April last year. Core inflation shows that high prices are still widespread in the economy. They are not cooling down like some have said.

Media Misleading Public on Inflation Data

Major news outlets tried to downplay the bad inflation news. The Financial Times said inflation was slowing, just not as fast as expected. But prices actually rose more than forecasted.

Reuters talked about Janet Yellen saying the data showed progress on inflation. But the numbers showed inflation getting worse, not better.

NBC said price growth cooled, just "not as much as hoped for." This is very misleading. Price growth was hotter than predicted.

High Inflation Still Hurting Americans

Rent costs went up 0.6% in January and are up 6.1% in the past year. Housing is a big part of people's budgets. So when rents rise a lot, it really hurts American families.

Inflation coming in hotter than expected means the Federal Reserve probably won't cut interest rates soon. This is bad news for the stock market, which wants rate cuts.

As an investor, I think the Fed needs to keep rates high. Inflation is still too high and not improving fast enough. The media spin does not match the reality facing Americans.

Fed Needs to Stay Tough on Inflation

The January inflation report shows high prices continue to be a major problem. Moderating inflation will take time and require the Fed to stick to its plan.

Even though the media acts like inflation pressures are easing quickly, the data shows there is still a long way to go. The Fed cannot let up just because of some optimistic media stories.

Interest rates need to stay elevated until we see meaningful progress lowering inflation. The media spin does not change the fact that inflation remains dangerous for household budgets and the economy. The Fed's inflation fight is far from over.

Where To Go From Here

Even though the latest inflation data shows we still have work to do to get rising prices under control, there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. As long as we stick to sound conservative principles of responsible monetary policy, free market solutions, and fiscal restraint, we can overcome these economic challenges.

With perseverance and level-headed thinking, we will navigate through stormy economic seas toward the calm waters of stability and prosperity. The American economy has shown resilience time and again; this moment is no different.

Stay the course in your personal finances and keep an even keel in uncertain times. Clear skies await if we hold fast and stay true to what we know is right.

To the future of our America,
