Inflation just took a massive spike higher. Just-released data shows core inflation has suddenly soared to levels not seen since the early 1990s. High inflation is a wealth killer. Draining the purchasing power of your income and savings, while crushing you under a rising cost of living. How worried should you be about it now? To answer that, we brought in an expert: a former advisor to the Federal Reserve, whose $trillions in monetary stimulus over the past year are a primary cause of the spiking inflation we're seeing today. In this video, Danielle breaks down the recent massive spike higher in the core inflation rate data. Shen then goes on to share her thoughts on which asset classes appear prudent given the highly uncertain environment now facing today's investors. That's at the end of the interview so you'll want to stick around for that.
