U.S. Fiscal Challenges and Corporate Impacts

Downgrades sound scary, but the U.S. is still the best place for investors to put money to work.

(00:21) Asit Sharma and Dylan Lewis discuss:

- Moody’s downgrading U.S. debt, and why it’s somewhere between a symbolic and substantial update for investors.

- Whether the downgrade and “Sell America” thinking means international investors are rethinking “there is no alternative” (TINA) to the U.S.

- Coinbase joining the S&P 500, and crypto’s continued march towards legitimacy.
