You’ll Learn
- The last “real” recession happened in 2008. What did it look like back then and which lessons could we learn from it?
- After a few months of War and Russian sanctions, there are impacts on the market, like additional pressure on inflation and supply chain disruption.
- There are still some outbreaks in China that won’t help with the supply chain. What does that mean for investors?
- Should inflation continue to rise, how could it impact the market? What should investors expect?
- Inflation and higher interest rates reduce consumer buying power. This could likely slow down the economy.
- There are 5 markers of a recession: loss of jobs, declining real income, production and manufacturing slowdown and finally, lower consumer spending. While some are not doing so great, others can give us some hope.
- Recently, we have also seen an inverted yield curve. What is it and what does it mean?
- Stagflation is probably the worst thing that could happen. Is it a possibility in the current context?
- Investors can diminish the hurt by knowing what they own and why they own it… Mike gives concrete examples of what that means.
