Investors are forgetting the 'pain before the pivot' - and failing to see the debt disaster ahead, expert warns

by Theron Mohamed

Investors are forgetting how brutal the period before Fed rate cuts can be, Stephanie Pomboy warns.

Rate hikes caused delayed damage, and rate cuts don't work instantly, the Macro Mavens founder says.

Pomboy expects the delayed impacts of higher interest rates to hammer households and businesses.

In response to inflation hitting 40-year highs last year, the Fed has lifted its benchmark interest rate from almost zero to over 5% within the last 18 months.

"After the housing bubble bust, they refused to even borrow on their credit cards for a long, long, long time after, they were so chastened by that experience," she noted. "We will definitely go through a period like that."

Beware the Artificial Intelligence Bubble

by Marc Lichtenfeld

At this point, the best AI opportunities are the large tech firms like Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and IBM (NYSE: IBM). But investors don’t get excited about those. They want the small, low-priced stocks that are going to become the next Microsoft and IBM.

When you come across these small companies once they’ve gone public, look at them with a very critical eye. Most are going to end up like defunct Pets.com. Remember 1996.
