How to Invest for a Recession

Dan launches into this week's episode dissecting the warning from billionaire investor Ray Dalio, who's saying there's significant risk of a recession in 2020 – not just in the U.S., but a global slowdown. While no one can tell the future, there is one grim statistic on Dan's mind that doesn't dispute this claim.  He then introduces this week's podcast guest, Christopher Irons.  Christopher started writing about finance and "pulling the curtain" back on the B.S. of the industry under his moniker Quoth the Raven in 2013. Since then, he has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and Barron's, has made Seeking Alpha's list of Top Bloggers, Forbes' 100 Twitter Accounts in the Financial World to Follow, and has shared the stage as a speaker with acclaimed investors David Einhorn, Andrew Left, Ben Axler, Jon Najarian and many others. He's got a firm opinion on Tesla – and a prediction on exactly how the stock's downfall will come about. And he's not shy about calling another household name "fraudulent."  In fact, Christopher is known for his blistering analysis behind shorting companies, starting with the first presentation Dan ever saw of his, titled "Short the Whole $%#@*&$ Thing."
