After all, a shortage of something doesn't (usually) mean that it's not available at all. Rather, it means that the price goes up.\nIt's not a surprise that year-over-year inflation as of November clocked in at 6.8%, the highest reading since 1982.\nThe Most Powerful Force in the World\nInflation is right up there, along with gravity, the wrath of a person scorned, and a hungry baby, as&nbsp;a force that will not be denied...\nBut for my money, what's more powerful than that force is&nbsp;mean reversion. It means that for every strong reaction, things eventually swing back the other way... and find their way to the middle again.\nWhen applied to investing, mean reversion refers to extreme price movements eventually correcting – reverting to the mean, like a rubber band. And when applied to many months of global supply-chain constrictions... sooner or later, things will spring back.\nWe can already see it in the sharp decline in the cost of transporting goods. The Baltic Dry Index, which measures demand for capacity to ship dry goods, hit 15-year highs in early October – and since then, has fallen by more than half. Shipping rates are falling, and available ship storage capacity is rising – the opposite of what happens when global supply chains are under strain.\nMeanwhile, a number of global automakers have indicated that they expect semiconductor supplies to increase... the shortage of which has been a big bottleneck for cars, along with everything else that uses microchips – from cellphones to cars to football helmets.\nAnd since September, monthly manufacturing data from his Markit's Purchasing Managers' Index has shown strong improvement throughout much of Asia, led by Vietnam and Malaysia... That means output throughout that region – home to four of the world's six biggest manufacturing countries – is rebounding.\nHere Comes the Bullwhip\nYou know what comes next.\nRetailers that have spent months offering warmed-over \"global supply chain problem\" apologies to consumers are about to find themselves swamped with goods. All the Costco couches, Instant Pots, packages of dried mango, Teslas, and everything else that's been on order, will arrive... along with a lot more that wasn't on order.\nShortages will turn into surpluses, and \"out of stock\" will become \"inventory reduction sales.\"\nThe \"bullwhip effect\" is what happens when demand distortion misinforms the supply chain... and it's about to hit in full force.\nSo if you can convince the family to postpone Christmas for a while, you'll get a lot more return on your Christmas dollar next year. That's because everything is going to be on the mother of all sales, as the global supply chain finally chokes up all the goods that haven't been on their way.\nThe Ultimate Contrarian Indicator\nAnd there's another positive side effect...&nbsp;lower inflation.\nIt's not complicated... As the upward price pressure on goods across the economy dissipates, inflation will fall.\nNew York Timesbestselling author Jim Rickards&nbsp;recently appeared on my colleague Daniela Cambone's show&nbsp;to say you should \"expect inflation to come down very quickly,\" due to incoming rate hikes expected from the Federal Reserve....
