It is now inflate or die time for the Federal Reserve. A hard default is not an option and it is obvious which path the government has chosen; a soft default. This  means that they will inflate the US debt away. In my opinion, before the Federal Reserve ever attempts to raise interest rates, they will begin to reduce asset purchases. 

So how have people been spending their stimulus checks?  While some are paying off credit card or school debt, others, like Robinhood traders, are placing their money in the stock market. In fact, investors poured in a record $56.8 billion as the stimulus checks arrived. 

There is a lot of discussion about getting rid of fossil fuels including natural gas, but little conversation on the reality of the gap that would be created in power generation if that were to happen.

At the end of the day, the only thing standing between your portfolio and catastrophic loss is your own caution and proper risk management. I know it is not the most exciting part of investing. But, there is zero doubt in my mind that it is the most important.

Since natural gas provides about one half of the carbon footprint of crude oil, it makes sense that it is the logical source to bridge into a transition to renewable energy.
