This year has brought us into a new economic environment. We are shifting from a closed economy to businesses reopening and gaining momentum as we recover from the past year. But with that momentum has come a bevy of fear and concern. As a result, investors should not be worried or paranoid, but they should be prepared. In today’s podcast, Wes shares tips on how investors can combat what he calls the three-headed monster of higher inflation, rising interest rates, and tax increases.

Throughout this episode, Wes analyzes the historical correlation between tax rates, capital gains, stocks and addresses why some categories of stocks fare better when inflation or interest rates rise. Of course, historical events in markets may not repeat exactly the same, but many events show similarities. As investors, if we stick to a few rules of thumb, we may be able to weather any market conditions that come our way.
