The Stock Market Is a Collection of Stocks, Right?

It is possible that we don't go down as much as prior recessions because profit margins are so high. The tech, they haven't gotten extreme enough yet to feel like we really bottomed out. It's almost like there's, there might be another flush to come. But it's just that it usually takes another big shock and then there's stuff that which is beyond the scope of this conversation.

Episode notes

A little confused about how we’ve gotten to…well, ~gestures to everything~? The S&P 500 down roughly 25% YTD, record-high inflation, and rate hike after rate hike?

SoFi’s (https://www.sofi.co) Head of Investment Strategy, Liz Young, joins me to break it all down—and makes a few historically informed predictions about what’s likely on the horizon in 2023.

She also addresses why she thinks now’s the time on which we’re all going to look back and wish we bought more, what to buy during downturns, and the relationship between the stock market and the bond market.

Katie also answers a question about Roth IRA platforms. Placement is a general marketing offering and is not a recommendation to take any particular action, including rolling over an existing account. Consider your personal situation and preferences, including fees and expenses for each option, before deciding to roll over. Please refer to Betterment's Form CRS (http://www.betterment.com/legal/form-crs) and other disclosures (http://www.betterment.com/legal) for more information.
