Motleyful Money starts now.

I'm Chris Hill, joining me today, Motleyful Senior Analyst, Otsits Sharma.

Thanks for being here.

Chris, I appreciate you having me.

I think it's fair to say that inflation has been one of, if not the top big macro stories

of 2022.

And yet it seems like we're ending the year on a positive note in this regard.

The price of a gallon of gasoline is now lower than it was a year ago.

Now obviously between last December and right now, it's spiked to more than $5 a gallon.

But today, the national average is $3.33 for a gallon of gas.

And there are some who think, slash, expect it can go below $3 a gallon in early 2023.

When you think about something like this, whether it goes below $3 a gallon or not, just

lower price of gas as an investor, what do you think in terms of ripple effects of this?

Well Chris, I think there's good and bad when I look at where gas prices are going.

And I want to focus on the good, first of all, because there is something tremendously

positive in this and that there's relief for consumers.

So much of our economy depends on people getting into their cars and driving, whether you

are a blue collar executive or you're someone who works in a manufacturing plant.

We all notice the gas price when it's going up.

And for some of us, it really impacts our ability to make ends meet.
