The cost of living crisis appears to be a global problem, although here in the UK it has been made worse by the increase in the prices of many goods. I believe that the government has the ability to reduce the cost of electricity, but for some reason, don't think they are concerned about how the common person would do in these strangely challenging times.

The best macro-economic commentator out there - kudos Dr El-Erian!

[bctptub]

He gets it he’s flawless with his answers

[thinkpod]

his the only person I am willing to listen to on Bloomberg

[NoobgotpwnedMc]

Mohamed el erian is a shining light of rational in a very irrational market

[LadonPat]

Has El-Erian taken over Bloomberg already? Glad that there is a bit of light and no rain for those sitting outside.

[Karkkuss]

Love Mohammad El Erian. Guy is so on it.

[vampireslayer]

What Mohamed is saying, is that the Fed Meeting belongs in Kansas City at the Motel 6, and NOT Jackson Hole at the Jackson Lake Lodge. They don't have a clue.

[philipholt]

Brilliant he is so on the Money. I always listen to his remarks because he is right.

[ronsmith]

‘Fed’s communication hasn’t been consistent’ most important comment.

[treaty]

I really like El speaks simply...doesnt use all types of unnecessary terms to twist his words...he says what he needs to say....simply precisely.

[JNkind]

If I were Jerome Powell I would just call in sick

[PedestrianPony]

You can clip Mohamed El-Erian saying "It's huge John, and good morning" for a gif in this video and nobody can stop you. Do what you want with that information.

The market isn't feeling it because they keep propping it up with more money printing which creates more inflation. Crazy.

[TrondJohannessen]

Great discussion about protection of purchasing power.

[Rachelschneider]

There are lots of mixed opinions about stocks and there projection in the next coming years, I aim for short term solid gains from market correction and I'd definitely jump on the boat if I knew a thing or two about day-trading, but then again what do I really know? I'm just looking for the right moves to grow and hedge my stagnant reserve of $370k from inflation.

[benthungin]

Al Erian is the only economist I listen too.

[sunshineandhappiness]

This guy is on the ball! Exactly…everything seems to wishy washy with the fed. Hence nothing is changing.

[geniuspharmacist]

Brandon! I'm sick of telling you let's go. Just stay. I'm leaving. 😂😂

[dodgerblue]

I may not always like what Dr. El Erian has to say but by and large he has a very good track record of being spot on correct. He also explains things in a non condescending way which I appreciate. I believe that he is right we are not out of the woods. Build yourself an Emergency Fund if you don't have on and hold on.
