Two years ago, I wrote about buying on the dip as an investment strategy for those in the FIRE movement. FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early, and involves a commitment to both cutting your daily expenses and an accelerated investment strategy. Today, FatFIRE is the “in” retirement concept. FatFIRE takes things a step further. Devotees to this new movement want to be able to “retire with a fat stash” that allows them to live on around $100,000 a year . According to Fortune, FatFIRE split off from FIRE in 2016 when a Reddit user decided cutting his expenses to the bone wasn’t his idea of a good time. And so the subreddit r/fatFIRE was born. Today, it has more than 330,000 members. The downside of FatFIRE is that it’s incredibly unrealistic. Very few people have the skillset to pull it off. Financial planner Dana Menard puts it at around a tenth of the population. If you believe you’re in this cohort, though, here are seven investments to help you with your FatFIRE dreams.

Futures, Bitcoin Crater As Yields And Dollar Surge After a dismal week for risk assets, which saw equities drop the most since June 17, global markets and US equity futures are tumbling in another extremely illiquid session (Japan and UK are both closed, the latter for the state funeral of QE2) as the realization sparked by Fedex that the world is in a global recession, is starting to finally seep through. Add to that Wednesday''s 75bps rate hike by the Fed (which however is more than priced in by now) as well as the previously discussed start of the buyback blackout period, and CTAs and pensions becoming forced sellers with investor sentiment that can at best be described as pervasive record doom and gloom, and it becomes clear why this week could be an even bigger bloodbath for stocks. And sure enough, Nasdaq contracts have tumbled 1.2% as S&P futures are down 1.0%… ...the dollar is back into record territory, with rumors of a new imminent plaza accord growing louder by the day... .

The fact that it is a $3.2 trillion opex today which guarantees even more volatility in the coming weeks... ... or that buyback blackout period begins today probably isn''t helping, and sure enough, we end the week in a mirror image to how we started it, with equities extending declines with an index of global stocks on track for the worst week since June, while the dollar continued its relentless ascent, trading back to all time highs. S&P futures were down 0.8% at 730am, dropping to the lowest level in 2 months, while Nasdaq 100 lost more than 1%, as Europe headed for a fourth day of losses, and Asian was a sea of red led by China.

Andy Sparks of MSCI says investors should be watching deteriorating liquidity in Treasurys. Sparks said it could hurt money managers’ returns. He also shared investment opportunities he sees right now. In an environment where returns are sparse, hedges like risk-free Treasurys play an important role for money managers. But those hedges may now be in trouble, according to Andy Sparks, the head of portfolio management research at MSCI , a market research firm. That’s because liquidity in the Treasury market is drying up and is now near levels seen at the height of the COVID-19 shock in financial markets , when bid-ask spreads jumped, prices became more impacted by trades, and price volatility rose. Liquidity refers to how easy it is to get into and out of an investment. While Sparks said the liquidity deterioration in the Treasury market isn’t at crisis levels yet, it’s getting there. “It’s brewing, and it’s something that investors and market participants should be focused on,” Sparks said.

As economies go, Europe is struggling. It’s still emerging from the pandemic, and a war in Ukraine has severely slowed natural gas supplies from Russia, helping to push inflation to 40-year highs. The odds of a recession have soared this year, and the European stock market has noticed. The MSCI Europe stock index, which holds roughly 430 stocks across the continent, is down 17.1% over the past year. Funds that invest in Europe are down an average 21.4% over that period. However, Janus Henderson European Focus Fund ( HFETX ) is weathering the storm better than its peers, losing only 17.5% over the past year. It’s three-year annualized return is a whopping 14.8%.
