Stagflation fears came to a head last week only to ease up going into the start of today’s trading session – and I am not surprised.

Just as I noted in last week’s stagflation piece: we are seeing inflation, but the economy certainly isn’t stagnating.

In fact, the first company I’m watching this week is a great example of the U.S.’s continued growth. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) has sold 9,150 electric vehicles over the month of September, which is a 91.6% increase when compared in last September.

Corporate scandals come and go – and while they don’t always stick, the stock almost always flounders.

In the last several weeks, we’ve seen a parade of formal hearings concerning Facebook (Nasdaq:FB) knowingly harming it’s 2.89 billion users for the sake of profits. Now, I won’t pass judgement on FB because my opinion on their past practices doesn’t matter.

What does matter is that the subsequent landslide of negative attention triggered a sell-off. And that presents us with an opportunity.

Facebook is the kind of company that will take this scandal on the chin, make a few changes, and get right back in the fray making off-the-chart profits. Its stock may never be this cheap again, so I developed a suggested investment plan for you to get yourself a strong FB position.

You’ll get that and more in this week’s Buy, Sell, or Hold.

Unless you lived and worked back in the 1970s – or, like me, were at least old enough to see and process what was going on around you – you’re probably only marginally aware of an economic malady known as “stagflation.”

It’s an odd manifestation – a living contradiction – and a pretty miserable one, at that.

The term “stagflation” is an amalgamation of “stagnation” and “inflation” – and describes an environment where prices are zooming in the face of zero growth.

But before this time period I’m referring to, stagflation was little more than an academic theory that wasn’t believed possible in any real-world scenarios.

Just think about it: Inflation usually shows up in a sizzling economy, where vast numbers of consumers have scads of cash to throw around – and where the inventory of items on store shelves are dwarfed by the number of people seeking to buy them. But stagflation manifests itself as a nightmarish one-two punch: Soaring price levels when consumers can least afford them, thanks to stuck-in-neutral job growth, treading-water corporate profits – and no catalysts in sight that might jumpstart economic growth.

I was a teenager in the 1970s – and had yet to launch my investing career – when the First Edition of Stagflation showed up in the real world. Even so, I read about it, saw it on TV, and was frankly sick of it and miserable because of it. It impacted me, and my family, and my friends’ families, and most of America.

I want to show you how this nightmarish scenario got started – and for good reason: Many so-called “experts” believe the seeds of stagflation have been sown again here in the American economy. They see a reprise of that miserable, stagflationary decade we had to live through half a century ago. And they say its unstoppable.

I’m here today to tell you the real story. With facts, not fear.

And I’m even going to share the single-best stock I see.

Investors jumping on the AfterPay and Affirm hype-trains are making a big mistake. It will be years before either of these Wall Street darlings is profitable, even with their partnerships with Target, Walmart, and other retailers.

The retail landscape, moving into the holiday season, is setting up to be grimmer than ever…

Everything from electronics to shoelaces (yes, shoelaces) are hard to come by because of supply bottlenecks in China and California, and factory closures around the globe. Now, anyone and everyone touching the industries that are wholly reliant on global supply chains have been knocked down – and retail is feeling it more than others.

Over the last month, we’ve seen…

• NIKE Inc. (NKE) drop 11%
• Bed Bath and Beyond Inc. (BBBY) drop 40%
• And Helen of Troy Limited (HELE) drop 5%

But that’s the very reason why I am watching these companies. They’re trading at a steep discount compared to what they will be in the coming months…

Just take a look at the numbers.

The could be a take that makes you mad, but it has to be said: Tesla is done and if you have stakes in their stock, it’s time to sell.

Sure, it’s had a great run… But there are newer, better electric vehicle companies with cheaper stocks, including one the EPA rated with a range 100 miles further than top-of-the-line Teslas

It’s a steal at $25 and it won’t stay cheap for long – they’re delivering vehicles starting TODAY.

This inflation higher than J. Powell expected, the Fed’s tapering soon coming to an ending, and hiking interest rates on the horizon, Wall Street investors are placing bets on the markets – but they’re putting their money in all the wrong places.

The simply way to play this is to short treasuries. That’s what they’re doing. But the profits, too, will be “simple.”

You should be looking at the same play, but in reverse – supercharging your investment…

Our first stop on today’s watchlist belongs in a league of investing that I predict will churn out 500,000 new millionaires by the end of the year.

I’m talking about initial public offerings, or IPOs. If you aren’t familiar, that’s when a company finally goes public, putting shares on the market for investors like us. It’s a great opportunity to get in at the bottom of a burgeoning company and ride all the way to the top as they grow.

Which is why I’m watching this company like a hawk. Toast Inc. (NYSE:TOST) operates a tech platform that streamlines all front and back of house work utilized by at least 40,000 restaurants in the U.S. and more abroad.

Now, I want to make this plain: I hate this Swiss bank.

Its financials are abysmal, which is difficult to do for a bank.

The DOW and S&P 500 are down – dragging many stocks down with it – but that’s no reason for you to be concerned.
