Sad fact is, its pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can't afford to feed their families, things might get ugly.

[olivierporte]

This was way too short! I want to hear Professor Damodaran speak more!

[urbanistgod]

Cut spendings and increase the interest rate!

[wm]

Pls show the entire interview when he is on.

[SilverFank]

Federal Reserve has no clue what they are doing.

[ns]

I have an idea, stop printing millions of dollars!

[alexi]

Love the professor, brilliant. Seems he should be on a think tank to rescue us from a deep recession

[kayrealist]

Focus on cash flow and businesses with pricing power. Stay away from debt and keep some powder dry. Good sales will likely come at the backs of recovery further down the line. Remain calm while this storm passes. It can take at least 1-2 years.

[Dinngg]

No easy way, but the way to go is clear. Raise interest rates. Have a spine and do not be swayed by the potential to cause a recession. We have to have recessions, and we should.

[CapAnson]

Well.. no easy way to address it without political consequences... the Biden administration will do nothing to jeopardize the midterms.

[masternobody]

all money goes to rich people. government should teach everyone how to get rich

[mr]

STOP PRINTING MONEY. STOP MANIPULATING INTEREST RATES. END THE FED, END INFLATION.

[hintzod]

It will be a recession. But that is what's best for the long term health of the economy.

[DWEthiopia]

So does this mean we should sale equities or real estate? Both? Where should someone park their wealth right now? Like the majority of their wealth? For someone that is risk averse.

[innovestr]

How about after the world wars Dr? Real rates were deeply negative then, markets rallied.

[crb]

your inflation is due to congress' deficit spending, $7.6 trillion in 3 years -all deficit spending. Meaning $7.6 trillion was created out of thin air to fund govt spending

[gargamelandrudmila]

Well if the fed does not raise coup payments for US treasuries and bonds to compensate lenders then the Government can not refinance and game over, period.
At the slow pace of the fed and berrying of their head the US Government should be very worried indeed.
The fed funds is impotant but if they lose control over the yield curve by not fighting inflation then the markets will dump their existing holdings and raise the entire curve.

[totalyfakenews]

The market has no fundamentals remember we abandoned the gold standard and have played peteo dollar empire for the last fifty years.now we go green what backs the dollar besides guns ?

[ClintSevilla]

This is cost push inflation. Largely interns of supply chain and oil. While things can be remedied when these resolve, oil supply is going to be affected by Russia and COVID is going to effect supply chains in Asia. China has low COVID and their vaccines are not the best. If they fix this m, things will be resolved. However, that is a big if
