    I think I am with Jamie on this. I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

    Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

  • With this, what's the optimal strategy to capitalize on the stock market? I'm contemplating diversifying my $400k stock portfolio to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

    Everyone was a genius at zero % FED FUNDS RATE 😈😈
  • The problem is that consumers out in the job market DO have options, but wages have stagnated. In simple words: jobs have increased, but not wages. It is very misleading. Their purchasing power isn’t the same as before. This is rubbish

  • @christiand.7404
    Jamie Dimon said year and a half ago that consumers will run out of money. Never expect them to tell you the truth ,they will only tell you what they want you to hear.
