You've probably heard the story about the Federal Reserve and the Great Inflation of the 1970s. Specifically, we're told the Burns Fed failed to tighten enough to quash inflation in the 1973-75 recession while the Volcker Fed's more forceful and persistent efforts finally slayed the inflation beast in the early '80s. The only problem is that's not how it works -- the Federal Reserve has little or no influence over oil, energy, and commodity prices, a key source of inflation then and now. In this presentation, Elliott will explain the real forces that drive the oil and commodity price cycles and the powerful force that actually brought an end to the oil price surge through the 1970s. He'll also explain how "green energy" policies pursued by governments the world over dramatically worsened the current cycle, delaying key adjustments that could bring down energy costs dramatically over the next few years. He'll detail specific stock and ETF investments to profit from the current energy and inflation supercycle.
