Episode notes

The big question this week in the markets is where are we in the cycle? The Fed could probably declare victory now because if you look at CPI, it's been declining 12 straight months. Two-year break-evens are under 2%. Interest rates with the amount of sector-wide debt that we have between private's consumer and the government were probably at levels where we've typically hit a recession due to an interest tax on the economy.
