Greg Lippmann says inflation will be difficult to tame and may be at 3.5% to 4% for some time. His somewhat contrarian view starts with the belief that taming inflation won't be as easy as many expect. Lippmann estimates that in the intermediate term, inflation is going to reach anywhere between 3.5% to 4%. Second, it's going to keep rates higher for longer, which means that the debt expense of companies is going to go up. So we have among the highest yielding portfolios we've ever had and from a ratings perspective, the safest portfolio we've ever had."

If anyone still needs convincing that electric cars need not be boring appliances, the Battista is a convincing, if costly, argument. Electric power promises more acceleration and power without tailpipe emissions and, for better or worse, without the cacophony of a V12. But Lamborghini’s current CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has said that a proper electric supercar isn’t possible with today’s technology. The Pininfarina Battista puts his skepticism to the test, but, I fear, Winkelmann may just be right. The Pininfarina Battista has a $2.2 million price tag and outrageous performance Andi HedrickThe fully electric Battista was designed and assembled by a company spun off from the better-known Pininfarina design firm that crafted bodies for decades’ worth of beautiful Ferraris.

☆ European banks are posting bumper profits — but don’t buy their shares yet, strategist says

Those are comments from one investment advisor despite lenders on the continent posting bumper third-quarter results this week. Barclays on Wednesday reported net profits of £1.5 billion ($1.73 billion), while Deutsche Bank revealed a net income of 1.12 billion euros ($1.11 billion). Deutsche Bank's net interest margin grew to 1.5% in the quarter, up from 1.4% in the prior quarter and from 1.2% in the year-ago period. But this income source for banks is unlikely to be long-lived as European capitals debate imposing a "windfall tax" on banks' profits. Hickmore said that senior debt from European banks is more attractive now as they are immune to many risks banks face.
