You're my favorite channel about the economy and investing. Super clear and super interesting! Thank you for taking the time to explain inflation and get back to the basics, now I won't be so lost in conversations talking about the best ways to take advantage of it!
Inflation, great topic to cover. Many people forget the increasing inflation erodes their network if their money is "safely" tucked away in a low interest account. Blue Chip companies have higher dividends than bank interest rates. This brings up another topic to cover: Preferred Shares with high dividend rates. See EQB.PR.A
Watched and liked, thanks Brandon! Funny how I've been researching inflation, and best investments to have. Now many of the RUclipsrs I watch are talking about it. My Pembina / Enbridge / Energy Transfer, REIT's & financial stocks, etc. have been doing great, and I purchased them at great dividend yields. Would have been good for you to speak on cash flowing real estate as a great hedge against inflation as well (I know that's maybe not your area of expertise though).
Brandon, thanks for the video. I have one question though. How do explain that gov says inflation rate is around 1-2% every year and yet every year I see much high raise of the prices for most of the goods? For example, even talking about 2020 wood prices went up 150-200%, lots of construction materials about the same, many things raised in prices at least 30%. Even groceries get higher in price at least 5-10% every year, in some cases even 20-30% easy. I'd be happy if real inflation in Canada was around 2% every year, but based on what I see it's not even close...
The CPI Index is used to measure inflation. And the CPI index is based on a basket of goods. www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1810024501 Lumber isn't in this basket. And yes people criticize the government for restricting inflation measurement to the items in this basket.
@@stephaniebeaton3939 Well, lumber was just an example. It's hard to find goods that didn't raise in price higher than 2% actually. Not sure how they compound this basket, looks extremely selective to certain products. Very convenient, for them of course.
Love your videos Brandon. You and your dad do a great job. Now I'm gonna rant haha. Your bubble analogy explains why inflation is bad....always. Money really represents time and effort or "human life/effort" used in producing somthing society values. My grandfather helped build the railroad lines and was paid a decent wage back then. Say $63 a week! Now with inflation a person has to work his whole life and never rarly ever escapes to finacial freedom because the time spent in the past is made to be "less valuable" than the time or effort spent today. The value of life, or "time spent", on a moral level stays the same, but with the valuation of the time based on how much money you get for sacrificing that time going up, it actually in effect is stealing people's lives for virtually no return. Inflation is always bad and I don't see how it can be argued that its good? Society is broken in so many ways. Starting with the value it puts on money, its too bad we are all trapped in this perverted system. The ones who fare the best in any sort inflation are the wealthy. They end up being the only ones who can afford to take any advantage from the situation, the rest are just tring to stay alive, like in Venezuela, food just gets too precious to sell for less and people go hungry and become economic refugees. Its not like they quit growing food there, it inflation that does it, But the rich are still there and eating well too. They end up getting a larger portion of the land and its production then makeing them even richer. Sorry, don't get depressed, things are all gonna work out. Stay happy, by appreciating the good things in your life, don't worry so much about money, its not what really matters at the end anyway, just somthing we are required to live with.
I read a great book a while back explaining how investing in great companies that pay a good dividend during inflation times is the best option, just like you implied near the end. Great video as always !
This was super interesting and can compare what you said to some of the stocks I own and I can see some correlation ! I am also guessing that those companies that have alot of debt during high inflation and are falling in the stock market can be a great risk/reward play in the future ?
Are bonds, or bond ETFs a good hedge against inflation? or is it the exact opposite, should investors be running away from bonds if high inflation is on the horizon?
Your money is only an "agreed upon" value. What has real value are goods - houses, food, clothing, etc, and many of these goods are in limited supply. For houses it is obvious how, for food we are limited by production, etc. If you print too much money and inject 100% more money into the system but goods remain the same, then everything should double in price. I don't see how they expect a 2% inflation when they printed so much more money this year...
Taxes and Inflation is a constant and has been around since ww2 to help the war effort ,and was to be stopped after the war but the government and corporate thought hey , this is a good deal just keep this up . Firer up the printing presses boys let’s stick it to the working man.
I do not understand how despite the huge spike in the M2 money supply, Powell and Yelen said they do not above average inflation for the long term to come. I get that they do not want to panic the public and make the markets go crazy but you can't just outright lie. These guys have their jobs because they are economic experts yet they think pumping huge amounts of new money into the economy won't cause a lot of inflation? Balogna.
The thumbnail is a major turn off for me it looks like one of those click bait videos, you put a lot of time and effort into making your videos in my opinion don't ruin it by following a shallow and superficial trend Please.

Highly informative. You have done a lot of research Brandon.
Thx Brandon. I stick with the big Canadian Banks during inflationary periods... all great businesses.
So much value in this video! Also loving the 25-30 min videos

Great video Brandon. I learned so much from you today, I may even watch it again. Thanks for making this video.
Dollar General is a great inflation pick in my opinion😼 great balance sheet too!
Great video. Banks would be good to have in your portfolio as well. As interest rates climb so do bank profits.
Really enjoyed this one
Very much needed
Love seeing you mention Joseph Carlson! Two of my favorite finance RUclipsrs 🙂
Another great Video Brandon
Very informative video! Thanks Brandon for explaining very carefully different terms
As always great video 👍👍👍
Thank you. Great content and helpful as usual
Salamat for this video. This is such an outstanding explanation. :)
Many countries in South America have interest linked indexes that you can buy as a currency and that fluctuate in price based on inflation
Where can i find the video that Brandon talks about here 3:40 i tried looking but cant find it!
liked before watching ;)

How about real estate as a hedge against inflation?
i was waiting for an inflation video

Great video as always !
Great explanation Brandon, this is why we invest in different assets like crypto!
Sorry Brandon. I just can't stop looking at your t-shirt lol. Were you in Los Cabos?
This was super interesting and can compare what you said to some of the stocks I own and I can see some correlation !

Try being the key word
Are bonds, or bond ETFs a good hedge against inflation? or is it the exact opposite, should investors be running away from bonds if high inflation is on the horizon?
6:25 ahhhh cmon buddy, we all know that if some limited edition Currys came out tm, Brandon would be first in line 😂
So did you buy or sell your BTC? hedge against inflation 👀

Bitcoin is a hedge ? a hedge that goes swings 20%
But increased interest rates pay you more for savings or CD's ,no?
Shrinkflation?
