How to Use Cash in the Bank to Tackle Inflation
With inflation running consistently above 8%, cash sitting in our bank accounts is losing purchasing power quickly! At the same time, both stocks and bonds have fallen throughout 2022. The flipside of downside in markets is opportunity. The opportunities we are seeing are coming mostly in the fixed income markets and in individual bonds, where we are finding a number of investment grade securities where investors can lock in annual yields of 6-8%, coming close to combating the inflation that's hitting your pocketbook at the store, the pump, and everywhere else. This week CEO Noland Langford and Director of Research, Brian Dress, discuss what types of securities we want to avoid in the current bear market. After getting the negative news out of the way, the cover some of the areas where we do favor putting money to work: fixed return securities, high dividend shares like those associated with pipeline operators, and select small and mid cap shares, an area where we have seen consistent outperformance over the past 3 months. We close out the show talking about one particular company that stands on the border between small and mid-cap and operates in a sector where we favor an overweight: healthcare. That stock is InMode (INMD).
