Where do the financial markets sit as we've hit the halfway point of 2022? Ed Lambert and Alex Cabot are here to break it all down, in terms of what it means for you as an investor.
Obviously, the big word of the year is Inflation. Ed explains how bad it is. Also, what's driving inflation? Is it COVID stimulus money, the war in Ukraine, or China's current COVID lockdowns? Well, it's all three. Ed talks about how the FED is trying to combat inflation with rising interest rates, and the fine line they have to walk between curbing inflation and not causing a recession.
Alex takes a deeper dive on asset classes. How have stocks, bonds, precious metals, and cash performed in 2022? And what are some sources of optimism as we approach the second half of the year? And what does airplane turbulence have to do with all of this?
