Learning Objectives

  • To become aware of the gaslighting that is fooling us into believing everything is ok.
  • To realize that there is too much money floating around the US economy that will bring inflation.
  • To recognize that interest rates cannot and should not be near zero.
  • To identify some ways to protect yourselves.

Course Overview

In our everyday lives, the grip of inflation tightens, signaling a persistent concern that refuses to fade away. Lessons from Japan's history are a stark reminder: caution is key to avoiding slipping into the abyss of prolonged economic stagnation.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) grapples with a significant financial hurdle—annual operating losses totaling $244 billion. Conventional wisdom suggests market forces should determine fair prices for stocks and bonds, presenting the Fed with a dilemma: pivot back to the Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) or delicately continue unwinding its unprecedented $8 trillion balance sheet.

An alternative perspective urges the Fed to resist ZIRP's pull, focusing on gradually unwinding its colossal balance sheet. Unraveling this $8 trillion position may restore equilibrium but demands meticulous execution to avoid an economic collapse.  As inflation shapes our economic landscape, the Fed faces a complex dilemma. This course will discuss choices that can be made in the coming months and reverberate across the U.S. economy. Striking a balance between market forces, interest rate policies, and balance sheet unwinding becomes crucial, guiding the nation away from prolonged economic downturns. 

Key Topics:

  • Inflation and its Causes
  • Federal Reserve Monetary Policy
  • National Debt and Government Spending
  • Interest Rates and Bond Market Dynamics
  • Stock Market Analysis and Investment Strategies
  • Economic Recession and Financial Risk Management

Join this CPE webinar to tailor your strategies and take a proactive stance in addressing the challenges presented by the ever-changing economic landscape.

Excellent presentation by Ronald Surz. The information shared was very thought provoking and I appreciated his honest reflection on the current economic status. I wish I was bold enough to implement his advice (no stocks!), but there are some elements of truth in his information. More advisors are Talmudic advice and I am concerned that the US economy is on the down spiral. Thanks for the information. I enjoyed this topic more than many of the other courses and I highly recommend this course. An honest thinker who sees the writing on the wall. Thank you Ronald.

Excellent presentation by a very knowledgeable and accurate speaker. The presentation could be longer. Please include Mr. Surz in more presentations. His presentation was pre-recorded. Live presentations are always appreciated. He made mention of yesterday being "Thursday". The presentation was broadcast Monday.
