THE 1970s PLAYBOOK:
STAGFLATION, MARKETS & MODERN PARALLELS

We’re seeing the closest parallel to the 1970s in decades—oil above $100, sticky inflation, and a Fed that can’t ease without risk.

But the risk isn’t what most investors are focused on.

It’s not a recession.
It’s not a soft landing.

It’s a prolonged “slow burn”—where markets move sideways, but real returns erode.

That’s a harder environment to recognize—and even harder to position for.

The 1970s Playbook outlines how this type of cycle unfolds, what tends to work, and where traditional assumptions begin to break down.
