@KeithMcCullough Therefore it's not enough to simply slow the rate of inflation to an acceptable level, inflation must be reversed. Deflation.

@KeithMcCullough With so expensive gas and oil, the inflation is going to be much higher, than today's 0.4% Month-to-Month increase

McCullough: "Inflation Should Be Your #1 Bet" 🔊 If you're new to investing, here’s something you won’t hear on CNBC: The smartest thing you can do right now is get long inflation. At Hedgeye, rising inflation is a key feature of Quad 3—an environment where inflation accelerates while economic growth slows. In this setup, traditional growth stocks often struggle while real assets and commodities outperform. This isn’t about guessing—it’s about stacking the odds in your favor. Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough put it best: “We’re counting cards. We’re watching blackjack odds. We’re just trying to up the probability… In a world where you really want certainty and you're not going to get it, you're going to get probability, which is different.” Inflation is here. If your portfolio isn’t already aligned, you’re betting against the highest-probability setup on the board. Subscribe to The Call @ Hedgeye to follow the data and stay aligned with the dominant Quad.

McCullough: How We Nailed Dr. Copper (And Why You Shouldn't Chase) The Hedgeye process had our subscribers prepared ahead of Copper's $CPER surge to all-time highs on Wednesday. "The AI signal, the fractal patterns, that we have embedded in our process certainly saw this coming," Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough says. Now, what do we do with an all-time-high? A: You do NOT chase it. You sell SOME, lock in some gains, and use those funds to buy something else. "These aren't 'calls.' These are executions of the process." "And if you sell some, you could buy something like uranium. They're both things that are in the same inflation category. One is for sale, the other is overbought."

Russians complain about growing prices for groceries and commonly used stuff. Inflation in Russia continues its growth as Putin throws more and more money into the war. ◾️ In November, the official (monthly) inflation in Russia amounted to 1.5%, and in December, according to all forecasts, it should be more than 2%. If this trend continues, the official annual inflation alone will amount to 20-30%, Russian economist Shiryaev notes. ◾️ At the same time, real consumer inflation (i.e., the one customers see in stores) may be even higher. According to Russia's ROMIR Human Institute, which published data on consumer inflation until September 2024, it is three times higher than official inflation. ◾️High inflation is related to the Russian Central Bank's actions. "The Central Bank has already stopped raising the key rate. This is pushing up inflation even more because inflation expectations [i.e., fear of rising prices] have now skyrocketed," Shiryaev says. "Therefore, growth of 75% for everything is a working forecast. Not pessimistic or optimistic, but working," Shiryaev insists.

McCullough: Embrace Uncertainty—The Key to Investing in the 'Fourth Turning' 🌎 In this exclusive clip from Hedgeye’s Q1 2025 Mid-Quarter Macro Themes Update, Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough answers a critical question from an institutional client: 🔊 How should investors navigate the uncertainty of the Fourth Turning? The Fourth Turning is a historical theory developed by Hedgeye Demography analyst Neil Howe Neil Howe and his late partner William Strauss. It suggests that history moves in cycles of four generational eras, or “turnings,” with the Fourth Turning being a period of crisis—marked by upheaval, conflict, and transformative change. These moments often reshape society through war, revolution, or economic and political realignment. McCullough delivers a blunt reality check: anyone claiming to have a precise, certain answer for investing in this environment is likely full of $#!t. Instead of chasing false certainty, he argues, investors should embrace uncertainty and adapt to the evolving landscape. In volatile times, flexibility and an open mind aren’t just advantages—they’re necessities. "Why would I act on anything other than what the market is doing? Yes, the Fourth Turning is a thing. Yes, it just happened in the U.S. election. It happened in Argentina. It's going to happen in other countries. Is it going to create volatility? The answer is very clear: I don't know. And if you think you know I'm probably going to do better risk managing it. Some of the most thoughtful questions just don't have answers. I think the future is going to be much more Gen X types or a generation younger than me that uses math and rules-based processes because that's where the world's already gone. We're not going to use some crusty old bureaucrat from the Old Wall to tell me where inflation is going next." * * * * * Keith McCullough’s new, 52-page eBook "Master The Market" distills the investing process he’s honed over decades on Wall Street.

Three Reasons To Buy Bitcoin (Right Now) In this clip from The Call, Macro & Digital Assets analyst Joshua Steiner provides the basis for why Hedgeye has pivoted to a Bullish position on Bitcoin. 🔊 Among the reasons is a shift to Monthly Quad 2 - when growth and inflation are accelerating at the same time. "The only quad that Bitcoin backtests really poorly in is Quad 4 [when growth and inflation slow together]," Steiner explains. "The best is in Quad 3 [when growth slows, but inflation accelerates]. And interestingly we have a May Quad 3 and a June Quad 2." Steiner also highlights Hedgeye’s current Bullish trend signal on Bitcoin, noting that the cryptocurrency is in a pivotal stage of its quadrennial halving cycle—a period that has historically marked some of its most explosive return phases. Make no mistake, Hedgeye views Bitcoin as just another asset to be bought and sold in the appropriate economic environments. We don't blindly hold it in perpetuity - we buy it when it's appropriate and short it when the data tells us to. Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough also summarized the three reasons to buy Bitcoin: "The [bullish] signal says buy it. The Quad says buy it. And the fundamental backdrop on the supply side that Steiner walked through says buy it. I don't have to spend the rest of my life telling you how smart I am about Bitcoin." ****** Subscribe to The Call for more daily investment insights 👇

Keith explains why theories, fads and predictions come and go, but a disciplined approach delivers consistent results—particularly when markets get tough. We’re not in the business of hype at Hedgeye. We’re in the business of helping investors protect and compound their capital. That’s the power of process. We invite you to join us:

🇺🇸 CNN ADMITS IT: INFLATION JUST WENT DOWN UNDER TRUMP Inflation just dropped again, and even CNN had to admit it... through gritted teeth. Consumer prices rose 2.7% year-over-year in November, lower than the 3% economists expected. That’s not just a dip, it’s a clear signal: the cost of living is easing faster than the experts, and the media, predicted. September was at 3%, October data was scrambled by the government shutdown, but the trend is clear. Under Trump, inflation is cooling. And CNN can’t spin numbers that speak for themselves.
