IS THE JUICE WORTH THE SQUEEZE? 🤖🧡
Blackrock Sees High Inflation | Yahoo Finance Pushes Investing In Consumer Staples 🤖🧡
Here's the Yahoo Finance article link: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/blackrock-world-largest-asset-manager-223000827.html
'BlackRock — the world’s largest asset manager — is predicting a recession unlike any other.' Basically, strategists believe that central banks & the Fed are “deliberately causing recessions by overtightening policy”. “Between 1978 and 2021 there were 10 distinct years where the Federal Funds rate increased,” Invesco says. “Within these 10 identified years, US private real estate outperformed equities and bonds seven times and US public real estate outperformed six times." It also helps that real estate is a hedge against inflation because as the price of raw materials and labor goes up, new properties are more expensive to build. That also drives up the price of existing real estate. The Yahoo Finance article goes on to suggest real estate investment trusts as another way to invest in real estate, especially for those unwilling to be a landlord. Higher interest rates slow the economy when it’s running too fast. The problem is, the economy is not running too fast. BlackRock sees that rate hikes shall push the economy deeper into a recession. Investors may want to check out recession-proof sectors. The Yahoo Finance article goes on to suggest that you invest in food & beverage stocks.
Maybe it's time for Tesla News Tonight to invest in Frito Lay. What do you think? Frito Lay is beginning their partnership with Tesla. In the long-term, utilizing Tesla semi trucks will save Frito Lay on hauls. They can pass the savings onto their customers, but that doesn't mean they'll necessarily buy more food & beverage. What's their plan with Tesla semi trucks? I know it's a long-term investment, but that just gives Frito Lay more time to work on their future. What is their future? What's next for Frito Lay? Let me know what you know about all of that Frito Lay business. Here's a quote from the article itself:
Even if a recession hits the U.S. economy, we’ll probably still see Quaker Oats and Tropicana orange juice — made by PepsiCo (PEP) — on families’ breakfast tables.
Personally, when investing in food & beverage, I consider cost as #1 and value at a close second place. Everyone's lifestyles are different. They have to be, we're all different. My investments focus on bigger margins. It's better and easier to make returns on investments off of more wealthy consumers. Rated just a tad higher than that, as an investor, I put priority in companies that make the best and most valuable products.
That's where Tesla comes into play for me. Because there's the most important thing I invest in. The most important thing I invest in is overall sustainability. Products with the fewest parts and the lowest negative impact on the atmosphere and the environment is key. That is the most critical reason to invest in a better future. A product that can have that super-low, negative impact on the atmosphere and the environment is surely made by a company worth investing in. This investment can be of one's time & effort, money, comfortability, and/or patience. 🤖🧡
