This article is excerpted from Tom Yeung’s Profit & Protection newsletter. To make sure you don’t miss any of Tom’s picks, subscribe to his mailing list here . When we at InvestorPlace launched Tom Yeung’s Profit & Protection earlier this year, I knew that markets were in for a rough ride. Oil had reached multi-year highs and “inflation” was starting to mean more than my pandemic-related pounds. But the stress on ordinary Americans has been a surprise, even for yours truly. Real estate prices are now so high that someone earning a starting salary in Chicago would need two roommates to afford the average 1-bedroom apartment. In New York City, that person would need four. Career professionals are also feeling the heat. Inflation is eating away at 401(k) values — leaving savers with less than before — while blue chips from Amazon ( AMZN ) to the Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond ETF ( VCLT ) have fallen a quarter this year. Stagflation fears are even making me lose my appetite. Some Conservatism Goes a Long Way But the quality-growth picks of Profit & Protection’s core list have done remarkably well. 3D printing firm Desktop Metal ( DM ) is up 25% since May, while online discount retailer RealReal ( REAL ) is up 15%.
