Inflation mentions on S&P 500 earnings calls just hit 820 in October — highest since February.
This isn't noise. When CEOs and CFOs start saying "inflation" more often, it means they're feeling it in their supply chains, labor costs, and pricing power. It's showing up in their P&Ls, not just in theory.
Don't ignore what companies are actually saying. They see it before the data does.
If you're holding cash or thinking about fixed income, pay attention. If inflation stays sticky, your purchasing power keeps bleeding. Real returns matter more than nominal ones.
No panic needed. Just don't pretend it's going away because the headlines got quieter for a few months.
