One Of My Boldest Calls Ever, I Expect To Build Generational Wealth
I see a paradigm shift: policymakers now prioritize growth over inflation control, targeting 4% inflation and high-single digit GDP growth, reshaping markets. My thesis, born post-pandemic, notes vanishing low-inflation tailwinds. Sticky prices and core services inflation signal a new, tougher inflation regime. I'm betting on cyclical growth, positioning my portfolio for a potential upswing. Green shoots in manufacturing suggest a recovery, promising potentially big gains.

Challenges include stubborn inflation, weak oil prices, and tariff uncertainty, but SAIA's prudent freight mix and stable LTL market mitigate risks.
