Inflation Goes Wild - The NEW FANG is now - Fuel, Agriculture, Natural Resources and Gold!
The new FANG is going to be fuel, agriculture, natural resources and gold.
Inflation is roaring, foods are in short supply and prices high when they are in stock.
Now we have a serious case of Avian Bird Flu. The U.S. poultry industry steps up biosecurity defenses as cases identified in commercial and wild flocks. The USDA reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a flock of about 240,000 birds at a commercial chicken farm in Fulton County, Ky. Tyson Foods Inc., the largest U.S. chicken processor by sales. Remember in 2015, 50 million chickens and turkeys were affected. This lead to turkey and chicken prices increasing by 60+% in 2015.

There’s Only One Stock-Market Sector in the Green This Year
Energy stocks are leading the pack in the stock market in 2022. The IEA International Energy Agency introduced a 10 point plan to cut oil use. Including darn Stupid Ideas like #4 Car-Free Sundays in cities - What a Sunday bunch with Neo Woke Cupcakes heading the menu choices.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sent crude-oil prices on a tear—and energy stocks along for the ride—as investors monitor looming supply threats and rapidly evolving geopolitical tensions. Gasoline prices, meanwhile, have risen to record levels, punishing consumers at the pump and lifting already high inflation.
Energy is the only sector in the S&P 500 in the green for 2022, up 37%. The benchmark itself is down 6.4% with investors worried about the pace of the Federal Reserve’s plan to increase interest rates to curb inflation.
Of the 25 best-performing stocks in the index this year, 18 sit in the energy sector. Occidental Petroleum Corp. OXY -0.53% has more than doubled, Halliburton Co. HAL -0.69% has surged 64% and Chevron Corp. CVX -0.21% is up 40%.
The gains in the stocks track the climb in oil prices. Brent crude, the international benchmark, has risen 49% this year to $115.62 a barrel and briefly eclipsed $130 earlier this month. U.S. crude is at $112.12.
The rally has also coincided with a decline in the big technology shares that powered the market higher for much of the past decade. Investors have sold shares of tech and other growth companies with lofty valuations, concerned about how they will fare in a rising-rate environment. The S&P 500’s tech sector is down 11% this year.
“The new FANG is going to be fuel, agriculture, natural resources and gold,” said Nick Giacoumakis, president and founder of NEIRG Wealth Management, referring to the popular acronym for Facebook, Amazon.com Inc. , Netflix Inc. and Google.
The ripple effects from higher energy prices and concerns about potential shortages have lifted prices for many commodities to records. Wheat prices recently hit new highs, as did prices for metals such as palladium, nickel, aluminum and copper.
To be sure, the energy sector’s influence on the broader stock market is limited, even after the recent rally. The group’s weighting in the S&P 500 is 3.8%, down from more than 15% at its peak in 2008 before demand for oil and gas started diminishing and technology emerged as the economy’s dominant industry.
Excess drilling by shale producers and sliding energy prices prompted many investors to trim their positions in energy stocks years ago. A wave of climate-conscious investing further added to the pain. Money managers shunned fossil-fuel producers, while adding green-energy companies to their portfolios. The Covid-19 pandemic delivered another blow when demand for energy evaporated during the shutdown.
The tide began to turn last year as the economy recovered and oil producers kept supply in check. Energy was the best-performing sector in the S&P 500 last year after lagging behind the index in eight of 10 years through 2021.

A wave of climate-conscious investing further added to the pain. Money managers shunned fossil-fuel producers, while adding green-energy companies to their portfolios.
Exxon Mobil Corp., for one, unveiled plans in October to resume buybacks after a five-year hiatus, authorizing a $10 billion share repurchase. Exxon shares have climbed 34% so far this year.
“Quite honestly unless somebody can predict how the future is going to play out—in terms of Russia and Ukraine, or we’re looking toward some kind of resolution in the near future—I can’t say I expect commodities to stop climbing,”

Storyline:
Wall Street is being occupied. Europe is collapsing in on itself. Around the world, people are consumed by fear and anger, and one question is on everyone's lips: Is the financial crisis over, or are we headed towards economic disaster? End of the Road is a documentary that chronicles the global financial collapse. Told in an entertaining and easy to follow style, the film tells the story of how the world came to be in such a state, from the seeds sown after WW2, to the current troubles facing us today, and to the possible future that may await us all. Some of the world's top economic minds share the hidden tale behind the mishandling of the world's finances, give insight into how bad policy and a flawed monetary system joined together to create a catastrophe, as well as sharing their own personal advice on how the average person can best prepare for their financial future.
Review:
"Some people apparently wrote some negative reviews about this documentary. They mention that the documentary is about propaganda from "neo-cons" and "gold dealers". This is a lie, the documentary interviews people who understand the situation and many of the people interviewed predicted economic events, because they understood the reasons.
The left wing propagandists writing these negative reviews do not like these facts because they are critical of big government and central planning.
The documentary contains some great information and is highly recommended if you want to learn more about the real economy. 8/10" Written by dbb79 on IMDb.com
"It was interesting. Currency is so abstract and this and the '08 free fall illustrates just how convoluted it's become. I'm not sure 'ponzi scheme' is the best analogy for the global finance situation we're in. A single investment scheme and world markets regulated or controlled by governments are very different beasts. Every recession or depression brings inflation. Only time will tell how much. I'm skeptical about the insistence that gold is still the most real money. I'm no expert but it seems we've moved too far beyond that. I just wonder with the CEO of a gold selling website going on and on about it, that there's a conflict of interest and they may be inflating things to drum up gold sales. If I had money to save I might consider some gold just in case, to diversify. But if you have a gold bar and the economy completely tanks, I don't think there's much good that bar will do. It's not going to buy food." Written by miko-526-390895 on IMDb.com

Executive Orders - Trample Freedoms
Another example of when democracy yields to autocracy and constitutional freedoms are trampled, history will reveal it for being a horrible idea. For the Japanese American community, Feb 19 1942 is the Day of Remembrance, 80 years ago the anniversary of FDR's Executive Order 9066, which ordered the internment of 120,000 persons of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were citizens of the United States.
