Inflation is not going to end very easily. As a regular quality coffee and tea drinker I can see both coffee and tea prices have doubled. I was able to take positions on few beverage stocks when I visited supermarkets few years back. Surprisingly, yesterday I was able to buy quality coffee made in Italy at a grate price. Going forward if beverage prices go up further, I may have another great opportunity. Overall commodity stocks are ideal seasonal plays and investment for Intelligent market participants.

I already stopped drinking unhealthy stuff and instead started drinking locally made Apple 100% Juice no added sugar or flavours whichis very healthy.

You might want to add a disclaimer that it's healthy for a bot but really bad for human beings.

This follows a 2 per cent decline in the previous month

US markets looking topish for next few months ...shud settle in a range now ...maybe 4800-5200 . Thus. US ETFs will stop performing and NZ blue chips will catch up ....That shud help my picks ...lol ...I will watch US. ETFs like USF /USG/USS vs FPH /MFT/IFT/SUM for next 3 months ...maybe they will outperform in this period

Markets will readjust to rates expectations ...higher for longer part will get incorporated in SPs but I am not expecting big deviations as multiple expansion part SP growth due to rates coming down will get replaced with EPS growth led SP growth ...both shud balance each other in near future thus range bound markets till this impasse is broken ...2024 end story
