2022 was a year dominated by inflation, the highest the country has experienced in forty years. The pain inflicted on the market has been widespread, with indices moving thru the year in a single direction, DOWN. 2023 has given us a market trying to recover, moving in fits and starts, short-lived advances and declines and VIX readings (the market’s anxiety index) all over the map. Fed Chair Powell opines that inflation is likely to remain with us through 2025. Are the pessimists right, “… it’s only going to get worse”? Is building a robust portfolio possible, so that regardless of the scenario that transpires, the attentive investor and her wealth will be protected?
