Stocks got slaughtered this week in the wake of Trump's Liberation Day tariffs.

The S&P is now off more than -15% from its all-time high earlier this year. The Nasdaq is down over -20% from its ATH and is officially now in a "bear market".

So, is this The Big One?

Will stocks continue to crash? Perhaps triggering a recession?

Portfolio manager Lance Roberts and I discuss in depth in today's Market Recap. I do my best to ask him the most pressing questions that investors most have on their minds after this scary -- and painful -- week.
