The FED is losing the war on inflation (Ad)

It's no longer just a “guesstimate” – Inflation is indeed getting worse. And although we want to believe the Fed has a good grip on it, they don't. Right now, the suits over there are caught between a rock and a hard place. Either they watch as inflation grows, or they tear it down and send us into a full-blown recession. The kicker here is that neither of these are good for you. Whichever pill we end up with, prices will still climb higher as the value of the dollar sinks lower. The only real way out for the regular person is to increase your earning power. By increasing your income to match prices as they flare up… You’ll stay ahead of the impending doom we're running face-first into. And if you're looking for a strategy to help increase your income in 2025… I've got just the thing for you! You see, last year, I was able to grow a $10k model account to a little over $63k with 100 trade alerts But I changed my trading rules and more than doubled my results on those 100 published trades. I'm now calling them Warped Options…
