We all know what a tough year it has been for investors. Stocks and bonds are both down, inflation is high, and it appears that a recession is imminent. The video below is my attempt to help investors understand what is going on and make sense of all the volatility. I call it a deep dive into stocks, bonds, inflation and the economy. I think this provides you with some perspective and maybe a little comfort in a tough investing environment.
The video is only 30 minutes long, but if you’d prefer to skip to the sections that interest you, I provided some time stamps below.
