Petroleum is required every day in every civilized country in the world. Petroleum is not just used to power our automobiles. Petroleum is used to heat buildings and is required for the manufacturing of fertilizer and plastics. Diesel fuel is essential for airline travel and worldwide logistics transport. Because Petroleum is a worldwide necessity, the federal government gives huge tax incentives to investors willing to invest in oil exploration. Given the tax incentives and the potential huge returns on that investment, it is truly a great year to be in oil!

If there was uncertainty before, its been replaced by proof that the Federal Reserve was too low for too long. The violence with which it had to reverse policy last year has now come to roost in a banking crisis that claimed the second and third largest bank failures in U.S. history. Whats to come is even less certain. Albeit from low levels, unemployment claims are rising nationwide as companies switch from labor hoarding to cost-cutting against a backdrop of high funding costs. Whats on too few radars is the upcoming debt ceiling showdown. The need for Treasury Secretary Yellen to sell hundreds of billions of Treasuries when a resolution is reached is a risk few appreciate given reserves are being depleted by way of the Feds ongoing Quantitative Tightening campaign.

It has been a challenging year for the technology industry and technology stocks.

Last year, Americans faced some of the worst inflation rates since the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Consumer Price Index rose as much as 9.1%, its highest since 1982. That necessitated dramatically different monetary policy in Washington and investing strategies on Wall Street. While the latest data has some investors breathing a sigh of relief, it's unclear if this is just a temporary respite, or something more long-lasting. And either way, it's clear we've shifted into a new economic and market environment. One where ultra-low rates and ultra-low inflation can no longer be taken for granted. This panel will explore what that means to investors like you, and how you should position for the coming year (and beyond). You'll hear from Martin Fridson, a top expert on income and bond investing, David Morgan, a well-recognized expert in the precious metals space, and Mark Mahaney, a senior managing director at Evercore ISI—one of the top independent research and advisory firms on Wall Street.
