Quotes

[08:15] - "We always say the best cure for high prices is high prices because that leads to two things. You're going to have an increase in supply, the manufacturers of those goods that sell things higher are going to find a way to produce more, and you're going to have demand destruction. People start to use less of those things. And the result of that is prices come down." ~ Glenn Dorsey

[17:53] - "We're in a transition where different parts of the world react differently to this inflationary spiral. Keep in mind that a strong dollar is inflationary for most other countries. If the dollar is getting more expensive, that's creating inflation elsewhere." ~ Glenn Dorsey

[21:50] - "If you don't need distributions from your account, don't take them right now. This is a good time to put it in the market if you have extra money." ~ Glenn Dorsey
