YTD Returns Inside: Rising Coffee Prices Can Hurt Your Pocketbook-

If You Don't Trade Commodities.

If you’re just a consumer, this might hurt your pocketbook. But if you’re trading coffee futures like I am, it’s just another day of turning market trends into opportunities.

👉 Here’s the link to our coffee entry from November 2023.

Coffee prices have been surging, and it’s not just bad news for your morning cup—it’s a clear signal of broader inflation pressures. When commodities run, those on the sidelines feel it. Meanwhile, traders who understand the game are using these moves to hedge against rising costs.

Inflation isn’t just a headline—it’s a reality that shows up in your grocery bill.

So the real question is: Are you positioned to protect yourself?

On our weekly ASC call, someone mentioned how getting older makes you more bearish. Another trader responded: “It’s not about being bearish—it’s about protecting what you have.”

That’s exactly right. Protection isn’t about sitting in cash and waiting for the world to fall apart. It’s about finding a strategy that works, taking profits, and putting capital into assets that appreciate over time.

In inflationary times, your money needs to be in stocks and commodities.

Our portfolios are built for inflation. Two key market regimes within that theme:
🔸 Reflation – Growth assets perform, commodities run.
🔸 Stagflation – Hard assets dominate, growth struggles.

Since 2020, the real safe haven hasn’t been bonds—it’s been gold.In inflationary times you want your money in stocks and commodities.

That’s why understanding the macro environment is everything. It’s where the real money is made.

💡 Knowing that gold should replace bonds in retirement portfolios? That’s a game-changer.
💡 Understanding that calls on silver could make our year? That’s what traders should be paying attention to.

And this is why I’ll trade anything that’s liquid—because you never know where the next big trade will come from.

But I’ll be ready.
