Interesting. They are still the go to shopping place for a majority of people.
Back around 2015 I saw WMT drop 10% in a day to $60. I threw some extra cash at it and doubled my money in 5 years. Ill be watching WMT. |

At 10% inflation, doubling your money in 5 years would be break even.
We are in for serious turmoil. |

Hmmm. When you hear doomers says food is off the shelves, they show walmart. All that food is still available in other grocers.
If my production is limited to 400 million units instead of 800 million, why would I sell to walmart for 87 cents, when other grocers pay 97 cents? |

Walmart and Target prove to me that stocks are not a guaranteed investment during periods of high inflation. They probably aren't even a good investment during high inflation. Companies can't pass on every cost increase to the consumer, and even if they did eventually the consumer would run out of money to spend. I expect a lot of badly missed earnings until at least the end of the year.

The good news is that next years earnings will beat this years when comparing quarters. Stocks will start to look great next year as they will all be beating earnings from Q2 2023 forward. At least for a little while. |

Dow fell 3.57% so not a black Wednesday. Although 4.04% and 4.73% by the s&p and nasdaq left some bruising.

Quote HistoryQuoted: stocks are never a guaranteed investment. and "periods" sorta gets to the whole point of "time in" vs. "timing" the stock market. I never thought they were guaranteed but I've read a lot of posts that claimed since stocks were assets they would rise with higher inflation. That sounds like a really good argument, but it's only partially correct. Over the long term they will go up with inflation, but they will probably go down a lot in the short term. I feel the same way about PMs as a hedge for inflation. Once the Fed starts raising rates by a large amount PMs are going to crash. Anyway this should be a great opportunity to buy cheap. |

I think retail stocks in particular are going to be particularly volatile until inflation gets under control. Target I’m not really surprised as they’re more upscale and carry less of the basic necessity goods that Walmart carries, but Walmart surprised me by how hard they dipped. I figured they’d have weathered this better given their lower prices and how they’ve solidly segmented themselves in grocery for years. Lots of seemingly cheap buys in retail right now if one is willing to hold long.
