Not many people expected 2022 to turn out the way it has from an economic standpoint as inflation, rising interest rates, and market declines have been in the headlines all year. The uneasiness has people asking us to explain how it got to this point and when we’ll start to see a turnaround.
We’ll try to do that on this episode as Laura Stover, RFC® and Michael Wallin, CFP® will spend some time touching on a few of the things they discussed with clients during a recent Investor’s Forum. When you look for the root of the issues, all we need to do is go back to the impact COVID had on employment, supply chain issues, and the stimulus money that was injected into the economy. We are now paying the bill for everything that’s taken place the last year or two, and with too much money chasing too few goods, we’ve seen the worst market performances in decades to go with soaring inflation
But history has shown us over the past century that the stock market will rebound and we’ll share some of that data on this show. What people need to remember is that the market is forward-looking and not a reflection of the economy and there are many factors that will play into the overall sentiment. We want to help you better understand a few of those things that will determine when we begin to see that turnaround, and this show will hopefully clear up that and the other questions we’ve been hearing a lot this year.
