[Start your day trading journey today!]( [] --------------------------------------------------------------- [] [] Here's How to Profit Off “Gas Taxes” [Garrett Pic]Dear Investor, Now, here's a silly idea. States raise extremely high amounts of capital by taxing gasoline. Look at the state-by-state per-gallon tax that each uses to fund infrastructure. [Gas Taxes by State] Two states are already moving to suspend their gas taxes while WTI and Brent crude hovers above $115 per barrel. Keep in mind they use this money to pay for the maintenance of their roads and other vital infrastructure. By suspending their taxes, they're effectively eliminating this revenue stream. Whether or not you're for or against these taxes isn't essential. With this revenue stream drying up... It creates a HUGE number of problems. The first is the most obvious. States won't have the money they need to maintain their roads. Perhaps that's why several trucking associations are opposed to the suspension of the taxes. Even though they will save money for a short period, truckers will face the threat of potholes and other problems on the road. In essence, this hurts the people it's supposed to help. There's another group of people who will struggle. Consumers. The suspension of these taxes or the passage of bills to send state or Federal stimulus checks to help people “afford” gasoline creates another economic problem. Remember, oil and its byproducts like gasoline operate on supply and demand. Lower the price of something - and you'll get more demand. Even though gasoline is an inelastic good - meaning people will pay whatever they have to because it's necessary - you can anticipate that demand will be higher when prices are lower. So, that might fuel an increase in short-term demand and push prices... higher. Then, states will have to impose the tax later, creating new problems for household budgets. This isn't a well-thought-out plan, and it's further evidence that people in politics don't understand economics. In 2011, one of my favorite studies found that eight out of 10 politicians have no background in economics. They prove it every single day. Who Wins So, the question is who wins out of this situation. Remember, if taxes are removed, demand can get a bump. So the real winners - despite all of this demagoguing that we're seeing - are oil producers. The ones with the most upside are the vertically integrated companies that move oil through the entire supply chain and never switch hands. Enter Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX). Exxon is currently sitting at around $84 per share. There's a very bullish case that XOM hits $95 by May. It's so absurd that the people that Congress aims to help actually end up hurting and the people that Congress demagogues will be the big winners in this whole debacle. That's politics.

[California coastline]( [Meet the Tech Wiz Behind the Perfect Apple Trade]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [] [] [] Why The Right Stock Selection Is Critical Now [Bauer Pic]Dear Investor, On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate for the first time since 2018. And it did so by the expected 25 basis points (0.25%). So far, so good. But much more important for the markets is what this central bank will do with interest rates in the coming months. And that should actually make investors feel sick. US Monetary Policy: Attention - 10 More Interest Rate Steps to Follow The "dot plot" published with the latest interest rate decision shows that the members of the Federal Open Market Committee expect a median key interest rate of 1.88% by the end of the year. This would correspond to six further interest rate steps of 25 basis points each! [Fed Dot Plot] Source: But that’s not all. A key interest rate of 2.8% is expected by the end of 2023, which is even higher than previous market expectations. This would correspond to four further interest rate steps in the coming year of 0.25% each. The first interest rate step this week would thus be followed by 10 more. With its current rate hike, the Fed is already reacting far too late to the significant rise in inflation, which recently reached 7.9% in the United States. This is the highest level in around 40 years. There's a great danger that the central bank will raise interest rates massively in the middle of a downturn, thereby triggering a recession. It's Not Just the Key Interest Rates And there is a second adjusting screw that the central bank can work with: bond purchases. These were already discontinued at the beginning of March, which pushed bond yields up and liquidity down. But here the Fed wants to go one better. It wants to reduce its balance sheet total, i.e. sell bonds held. I wonder: how will the market withstand the one-two punch of ever-higher policy rates AND higher bond rates in the wake of the balance sheet reduction, when at the same time the economy continues to slide? Why the Right Stock Selection is Critical Now To be sure, equity markets initially cheered the central bank's interest rate decision. But how stable will such short-term bouts of sentiment be when corporate profits continue to plummet in the face of high inflation, dysfunctional supply chains and sales markets collapsing due to sanctions? And in the middle of a valuation bubble? Let's be clear: I'm not skeptical about all stocks. There are definitely a few stocks that are benefiting from the current situation (strong inflation, shortage economy). Here, valuations and trend behavior are right. This is where you need to be invested. But for the mass of shares this does not apply at all. Here I see absolutely black for the next few months. At least until attractive valuations are reached again. Unfortunately, we are currently still about 20% away from that.
