What do you see as the best area to take advantage of this short term?

Tech?

Short term, keep with the program the Fed is all in and the market might see new highs...That seem like destiny at this point with the amount of money pushed into the markets. Powell mentioned he has "Almost unlimited amounts of money to push into the market" on 60 Min recently.
With all this debt the dollar will (IMO) eventually slide, maybe not this year but someplace down the line the imbalance will play out and it might be sudden and drastic.
Stagflation is something I've been reading about, SF seems plausible given the war like conditions and the state of the economy.

At this point it's a huge experiment..

Yet we have a President who was begging for lower interest rates, pleading for more QE , supports bailouts and this out of cotrol debt monetization, yet he has no clue none of this has anything to do with capitalism

The Us has become a banana republic
