The Inflation Trap Nobody's Talking About

Ricky GutierrezMay 14, 2026

The creator discusses the current market drop following a worse-than-expected CPI report, emphasizing that while markets may seem irrational, inflation will eventually impact them. He advises caution against shorting the market due to its irrationality and potential for quick reversals, suggesting that larger time frames and calculated trades are crucial, especially for beginners. The creator also notes that rising inflation makes rate cuts less likely and rate hikes more probable, which is bearish, but believes the market is currently more focused on Middle East developments.
