| If you’ve followed my ongoing homeowner saga, you know we’re selling our home in Dallas. We love the neighborhood, but the house is too small for a family of five. Selling will be easy. Buying is the real challenge. Even building something new is a lot more expensive than it used to be. Some materials prices are up several hundred percent over the past year. And good luck finding labor if you need something built. Welcome to the world of inflation. I think price spikes in at least some corners of the market will be short-lived. But I’m not so sure about houses or labor. The inventory of homes for sale is at record lows across many markets in the aftermath of the 2008 mortgage meltdown. This isn’t something that can be fixed overnight. You can’t snap your fingers and “fix” a decade of underinvestment in housing. But you can find ways to invest as construction ramps up again. That’s where my dividend stock of the week comes in. Click here to see why this “Strong Bullish” materials stock is a buy before the real boom.

| If you own stocks, you may want to cash out immediately. And if you hold dollars, you need to see this chart. Because, according to one of America's most respected economists, the data in this chart signals a possible COLLAPSE ahead for the dollar. What he revealed is not pretty. | |
Chart of the Day
In 2020, policymakers around the world made the unprecedented decision to shut down the economy. These orders crashed economies and pushed economic activity down by 40% or more, levels of contraction seen during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The unprecedented nature of the contraction makes it difficult to predict the path of the recovery. To overcome this challenge, Moody’s Analytics and CNN Business partnered to create a Back-to-Normal Index. The index ranges from zero, representing no economic activity, to 100%, representing the economy returning to its pre-pandemic level in March. You can see below that the index rose to 90% recently. But that last 10% is going to be a struggle to gain back. Here’s why.

| America's $51 trillion green boom will be of unheard magnitude. Only it's not from anything Biden is doing. Or from any big corporation. Instead, one pioneering company is at the forefront. You won't believe what it's battery tech can do. It's 25X more powerful than a Tesla EV. | |
