EPISODE III
THE RISE OF INFLATION
It is a period of relative calm. The virus has been mostly defeated, life is returning to normal, and stocks have staged a historic recovery.
New threats are rising. Emperor Biden wants to tax corporations up to 28%, and inflation is surging. Is it transitory, as the Fed claims? Is it "contained"? We shall see...

We're here for stocks discussion, including news, market commentary, technical analysis and trading ideas. We do not promote pump and dumps, which includes penny stocks and meme stocks, especially if such posts lack substance. There's a separate OT for crypto talk.
Note: Any actions you take based on posts here are your own responsibility. Be aware of your own risk tolerance, and be sure you understand the risks of any trade you make. We don't like to see posts talking about large dollar numbers in relation to portfolios or trades, as it can lead to FOMO behavior and it isn't useful information for anyone else.
Do you have questions about stocks, options or trading? Ask away. If you're new and looking for where to open an account, we'll generally recommend anywhere other than Robinhood. They're known to be unreliable in the times you may need them most, and they use FIFO which is terrible for your tax management.
Options are a great way to bet on upside with capped potential losses, or to manage risk with covered calls or hedging, or to scale into a position. Theta, gamma, vega?
