Many negative expectations over the past year, unfortunately, becoming reality including: severe recession or worse, continuation of inflation, increasing unemployment, worsening commercial and residential real estate issues, likelihood of lower and lower dollar, job creation issues including future robotics, and complicated by global military threats and U.S. instability. This is not a pretty picture and could actually become much worse than expected in this podcast as job growth is not only seriously threatened but so is price stability. Considerations for personal/family financial protection are discussed.

Ep. 137 - Prior Concerns Coming True... For Better or Worse
The global economy as well as the U.S. is heading for more volatility with 2024's issues becoming more severe in 2025 as expected.
The U.S. stock market is likely in an official "bear market" with more foreign selling ahead. The same expectation applies to the U.S. government debt marketplace with more selling of U.S. securities and higher interest rates continuing. The Federal Reserve’s buying of U.S. debt expected to once again prop up the debt markets but higher inflation expectations likely to continue to force U.S. interest rates higher. 2025, as expected, is shaping up to be a challenging year for both the employment and financial markets.
