There are a LOT more than 3 stocks that are going to shaft investors in a little while from now.

Alcoa is listed as one to avoid because of higher energy prices - on the other hand, cheap Chinese aluminum will dominate because they are building power plants like a farmer plants crops, while the US is decommissioning power plants in a misguided quest for green energy which will never supply enough energy to fulfill present demand, let alone future demand

Those stocks aren’t in my lane but I’m old and I mainly do income these days.

Good luck to all who invest, and my sympathy to do who don’t. Even investments that that don’t keep up with inflation are better than no investments .

I predict inflation will subside sooner than the panicked screamers expect. The Bond Market has now forced the FED to act (as usual in this type of environment) and by late this year things will look better (not solved) on the inflation front. The supply chain is going to improve. Energy is the stickiest problem, few producer countries are in a position to boost production significantly due to lack of prior investment over the last few years. Biden is the one who could have the best effect there but he is hell-bent on seeing higher energy prices to force more expensive and less productive “green” crap energy produced which doesn’t obviate the continuing need for non-green energy.

There are a lot of zombie stocks out there... They are so massively in debt that they are struggling to just make the payments. Any downturn will sink them.

Those are good shorting possibilities.

Name 3.

I disagree with the shorting... They could be like K-mart and linger on for a long time before biting the dust. GM is an example of a zombie company. Their sales are dropping and they are due for another bailout. Most airline stocks are also walking dead...
