There are mostly 2 sides to every question you just asked and nobody *really* knows for sure, it's all just speculation over data at the end of the day.

>Are we getting inflation/deflation
A dropping DXY and a rising BTC & Gold/Silver would suggest inflation, which sounds scary but is actually what central banks and monetary policy makers would rather see. FRED data, including M2 money supply, consumer spending, household and government debt would suggest deflation. Less money in circulation and higher debts everywhere creates a demand for dollars, leading to a stronger dollar and a deflationary environment. They will be attempting to avoid this scenario at all costs.

>Why are bond not a good investment if deflation?
The bond market is pretty fucked up right now and is too much to attempt to unwrap for me right now.

>How are stocks sustainable at this high of p/e valuations?
Easy answer: Because there are still people out there willing to buy. Bubbles always last longer than anyone expects them to. Many people still think the "big one" is right around the corner, even after the corona crash in march being the biggest decline in the history of the market over a month long period. As long as we continue down the inflation road and the dollar continues to drop in value, we can expect the stock market to keep grinding higher.

>Why is gold dumping?
no idea, it will stabilize and keep grinding higher though

The best way to grow your money is to first think about how to preserve it. Be diversified. Stocks, Real Estate, Gold/Silver, Crypto, Cash should all play a part in a sophisticated portfolio. It's up to you to find where the biggest opportunity of the moment is at.
