In the Grand Scheme of Things

We jump into a conversation we recently had about the inverted yield curve and what it means as a recessionary signal plus, why the charlatans and doom-and-gloomers continue to pop up. We’ll then take a trip down memory lane, via stats and stories, about what investing was like in the early 2000s and what it’s like at all-time highs. We’ll finish with a reminder that although the short term can feel long, it’s important to contextualize and focus on the long term.  Key Takeaways [00:18] - The inverted yield curve + bank deposit rates [05:07] - Recession charlatans + are there any reliable market signals?
