A Return To ZIRP When The Recession Hits? | Alf Peccatiello

When today's guest was last on this program in early February, he warned that markets were "in La La Land" -- meaning they were too optimistic at a time the macro data was warning of an approaching recession.

Well, here we are, a quarter later and -- after swooning for a month and a half -- the S&P has powered back to exactly where it was when he gave his warning.

It's in rally mode despite the macro data raising even more recessionary alarm bells -- that, plus we've experienced several systemic scares since February, including the collapse of sizbale banks Credit Suisse and SVB.

Are the markets seeing true upside here that the bears are just missing?

Or are the markets simply seeing what they hope to see & ignoring reality, setting themselves up for a painful reckoning?

For a detailed exploration into these key questions, we welcome Alf Peccatiello, publisher of the Macro Compass and former bond portfolio manager, back to the program. Learn more about Alf's work at: https://themacrocompass.com/. Or follow him on Twitter @macroalf

At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.

We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.

There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?

Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
