The market has gone sideways for a while: Russian sanctions, outbreaks, inflation, and interest rates don’t help. There are also concrete signals that the worst is ahead. We could live in denial, but we chose to discuss why a recession may be upcoming and help you be prepared for the storm.
 

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… I give concrete examples of what that means.
