The markets are throwing the hissy fit we’ve been predicting, but the Fed is showing more determination than anyone expected.

The problem is, there’s nothing the Fed will be able to do about inflation, and once investors realize this some assets are going to crater…and others are going to soar.

May 16, 2022

Dear Fellow Investor,

Gold is flat today. So are most of the rest of the markets, except for the Nasdaq and crypto, which are dropping as I write.

It seems like we’re momentarily in the eye of the storm, and the turmoil is about to begin once more.

Why? Consider the situation we’re now facing:

• Central banks – led by the Federal Reserve – are intent to fight off rising inflation with rate hikes....

• The markets are responding with massive sell-offs, sending a very clear message to the Fed to lay off….

• Inflation remains at 1970s levels — and while the peak is likely behind us, prices are going to continue rapidly rising for months and even years to come….

• With today’s towering debt loads, the Fed simply can’t afford to raise rates high enough to stem the inflationary surge.

• In fact, the Fed will be forced at some point to not only return to easy-money policies, but at levels far greater than before.

The big difference between today and similar crisis points like the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 Covid response is that things are happening much more quickly.

Instead of turning back from its rate hikes in 18-24 months as I’d expected, I think the turning point could come by late summer or early fall…or even sooner.

With all of this and more going on, many investors are caught like deer in the headlights, unsure of which way to turn.

But a few others are quietly confident, taking comfort in one unassailable fact:

As you know, we’ve just opened registration for this year’s New Orleans Investment Conference…

…And it may be the most eagerly awaited event in our 48-year history.

As I told you a few days ago, there are a number of reasons for the excitement.

Yes, we hosted our first in-person event last year, many of our exhibiting companies and friends from around the world weren’t able to travel and join us. Still, it was an extraordinary gathering, seeping with intellectual energy from our attendees and value from our elite speakers.

Now that everyone will be able to join us, we’re going to absolutely blow the doors off with this year’s New Orleans Conference.

Our phones have been ringing and our email inboxes bursting with inquiries from across the globe.

This event is not to be missed!

As I just noted above, the Fed will have to reverse course soon. And when it does, there’s going to be havoc in the investment markets.

What does it all mean?

It means there’ll be big winners and big losers.

It means you’re now facing tremendous risks and opportunities…and you have to be prepared for what’s coming.

Consider who’s told us they’re coming to talk to you so far:

James Grant...Jim Rickards…George Gammon...Danielle DiMartino Booth...Tavi Costa...Peter Boockvar...Jim Iuorio...Dave Collum...Rick Rule...Lawrence Lepard…Doug Casey...Jon Najarian & Marc LoPresti…Dominic Frisby...Adam Taggart...Brent Johnson...Nick Hodge...Bob Prechter...Adrian Day...Mark Skousen...Mary Anne & Pam Aden...Steven Hochberg...The Real Estate Guys…Brent Cook...Thom Calandra...Chris Powell...Dana Samuelson...Gary Alexander...Albert Lu...

...and, of course, yours truly.

Again, there’s much more to come — we’re still in the early stages of planning this year’s event, and I’ve got some big surprises in store.

But even at this early date, one thing seems certain…

New Orleans 2022 Is Going To Be A Blockbuster

As you know, we just opened registration for New Orleans 2022.

Everything — the years spent mired in the pandemic…the macro-economic set-up…the geopolitical uncertainty…the teetering stock markets…soaring inflation…commodities taking off…and the Fed’s upcoming retreat on monetary tightening — make New Orleans 2022 a must-attend event.

I fully expect our entire hotel room block to sell out this year, so you’ll have to act soon to make sure you’ll get in.
