Episode notes
Credit-Driven Economy
- The US economy relies on credit growth, making it vulnerable when credit contracts.
- Contracting credit combined with falling asset prices creates a perilous economic situation.
Globalization's Impact
- Globalization and US trade deficits have historically driven down inflation and interest rates.
- A partial reversal of globalization, due to events like COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, is contributing to rising inflation.
Investment Timing
- Wait to invest until after a market break, as further declines are likely.
- Don't buy pre-break; buy post-break for more prudent investing.
