How can investors navigate stock market uncertainty as inflation continues to rise? Inflation levels reached a 40-year high. “The problem is that the market is sniffing out stagflation. Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) stocks were leaders before the market downturn. Both companies continue to beat on earnings. Because of cash flow, they can raise dividends and buy back shares,” says Ken Mahoney. He is also watching Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) due to chip shortages. Mahoney also states that investors should stay away from companies like DocuSign (DOCU) that are missing on their earnings calls.
