Good morning.
Investors largely expect inflation to continue lower in the months ahead. While the most recent headline number was at 4 percent, expectations are for 3.8 percent in the coming month. That’s a good sign overall. However, investors expect long-term inflation to move closer to 3 percent. That’s the highest read since last March.
It’s clear that we’re not quite done wringing inflation out of the economy. And that moving too quickly to ease off of monetary tightening could lead to inflation moving higher than expected quickly.
Overall, the current decline is bullish. But markets may have also priced it in. Given this latest mixed signal, traders and investors alike should continue to expect a sideways move in markets over the coming weeks until a clearer signal emerges.

Will AI Destroy Both Jobs And Profits?

Good morning.
In every endeavour of life, there’s always someone who’s a self-proclaimed expert… but who tends to get it completely wrong.
By finding those individuals and then taking the opposite approach lies the path to riches.
Call them anti-experts, call them contrarian indicators, call them desperate celebrities, it’s all a rose by any other name that can be used to find profitable ideas. Without naming names, such people can be found all across the investment spectrum.
One reason for a bounce higher in Bitcoin prices on Friday appears to be a warning from one of these anti-experts, who made the case for the cryptocurrency to now drop to $10,000. It just goes to show, if you know who to listen to (and who to take the opposite approach of), you can get an idea for where certain assets are heading.

Friday’s quote is from Andrew Carnegie:
“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.“
Check out these three great prospecting questions.
-
“Do you think a part-time job would be better for you than a part-time business?” (Most prospects will immediately attach themselves to wanting a part-time business. Hey, working a part-time job until age 67 doesn’t sound like much fun.)- “Starting our own business would cost a lot of money and it’s pretty risky, isn’t it?” (Most pros-pects will agree and say that is why they haven’t tried a business. Now they are open-minded toward a business that doesn’t require a lot of money and is not risky.)
- “Would a $500-a-month raise make a big difference?” (Gee, that’s $6,000 a year, which would pay for a nice vacation, a better car, an occasional weekend getaway, or the minimum payment on the credit card. This question is rejection-free. Even if our prospect says “No,” that might mean our prospect is looking for even more money. And we know our prospect can’t get this kind of raise from his or her boss.)
“Do you think a part-time job would be better for you than a part-time business?” (Most prospects will immediately attach themselves to wanting a part-time business. Hey, working a part-time job until age 67 doesn’t sound like much fun.)
Using better words can literally create new prospects on-demand.
Enjoy your day! 😉

Second FULL-DAY-AWAY. The Province of BC is having a tuff-go with all the forest fires! Many people’s summer-homes and cottages are without protection from Mother Nature. [I learned when we got back to Calgary, that my auto-mechanic “loss everything.” He and his family were able to flee the flames only days before “their dreams were ex-tinguished.” Because of that very threat of forest fires; only 1 access road in or out, and no town or fire-brigade nearby — their $150K retire-ment hide-away disappeared.]
There’s no trace of smoke in the air, around Kimberly today. We took a short 30-minute drive to the south-east. Most of the fires are burning MUCH further north … about 700 – 1,000 kilometers. We actually have had a bit of rain throughout the day! (Much around us is surprisingly green.)
We are on our way to Fort Steele, (BC). Great historic site with many, many fun attractions. “All Aboard!” [more to come]
