Are we in a recession? Depends on who you ask. That's pretty confusing, right? Let's discuss.
Markets rallied in relief on some better-than-expected data on Friday. It was a bright spot in what has seemed like a relentless parade of bad news. But the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq still all closed out the week with losses. Is this the bottom of the bear market?
For the past few months (years, really) it seems like there's a 24/7 stream of bad news bombarding us all the time. Markets, the economy, housing prices, grocery store prices, gas prices, and that whole COVID thing that's still happening. It's a lot. So, what do we do?
Well, it happened. Stocks slid into bear market territory after a bad May inflation report showed that prices rose at the fastest pace since 1981. Should I be worried about the markets?
Is the world more uncertain right now than it has been in the past? Or are we simply more aware of our lack of predictability and control?
