Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my savings crumble to dust.
Very true! I've been able to scale from $50K to $189k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
@@theresahv that's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you.
Sure, the Investment advisor that guides me is ''JULIE ANNE HOOVER'' and she's renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn't be a hassle finding her. Just look her up.
@@theresahv thanks for sharing this, I googled the lady you mentioned and after going through her resume, I can tell she's a pro. I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply
Increased losses for portfolios this quarter are predicted by market drops, skyrocketing inflation, a major interest rate hike by the Fed, and rising treasury rates. How can I profit from the volatile market right now? I'm still considering whether to sell my million dollar bond and stock account.
Concentrate on two main goals. To start protecting yourself, learn when to sell stocks to reduce losses and maximize gains. Second, get ready to profit when the market recovers. I suggest having a conversation with a broker or financial advisor.
Yes, I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I covid. Investing in trending companies is relatively easy today; the trick is determining when to purchase and sell. I started with a $300K reserve that was initially dormant; my adviser decides when to enter and exit my portfolio; since then, I have accumulated over a million dollars.
@@danieljackson87 Can you leave your investment advisor's contact information here? I absolutely must have one.
@@andrewlogan7737 Julie Anne Hoover, whom I discovered on a CNBC interview and contacted, is guiding me. She has since given me entry and exit points for the securities in which I am interested. You can look her up online if you require care supervision.
@@danieljackson87 Insightful... I was curious after reading what you shared, so I Googled her name. I came across her webpage.
For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the stock market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
yes, transportation, e-commerce among other sectors are expected to experience growth, but who knows, the market has been a basket of surprises.
I got into a bit of dilemma myself due to this chaotic market, wasn't sure if to sell or just wait a little longer, 75% of my portfolio was tanking and in the red, but I began gaining clarity and have more confidence in my investment through an lnvestment adviser, I know most DlY - lnvestor like me would say advisors aren't essential, but come to think of it, they're better trained and equipped at this and if I have to give just a little amounting fees for me to be able to net $650K in less than 8months like I did this year, I truly don't mind.

Limits to risk are being revealed. Energy costs in Britain are killing them. Until that is addressed, the UK government has very few options on stimulating their economy, and this recent episode of a bond/currency crises has made that abundently clear.

So I'll do the self assessment, but pay only after this war has finished or shall I not even do it now?
I want to leave it ready on the files so no headaches doing it after the war. But what will be worse? postponing payment or self assessment or both in term of fines and interest rates?

Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.

Rob to the poor to give back tax cuts to the rich. I am sure many numpties, gammons and other sub-especies still don't get that eventually basic public services like the NHS will be undercut and further under-funded. They can't connect the dots.
A weak pounds can signal an economic downturn, making me to ponder on what are the best possible ways to hedge against inflation, and I've overheard people say inflation is a money-eater thus worried about my savings around $200k
The stock market is a way to hedge against inflation. Most notably amidst recession, investors need to understand where and how to allocate funds to hedge against inflation and still make profits.
@@Alejandracamacho357 in my opinion, the impact of the rise or fall of the U.S. dollar on investments is multi-faceted but learning how to grow your money has never been easier than now that you can explore and experience a truly diverse marketplace passively by using a well-performing portfolio-advisor.

So this is what "take back control" looks like. Politics should be boring, yet there have been political dramas that outdone the last for the past 12 years.
Remember, UK never fully recover from the last recession in 2008, yet UK (specifically) are heading to the next one.
Most european countries haven't recovered from their recession. Economists only see the macroeconomics, but not what the actual economic power of each household is.
Aye
Truss has only exercised power for a week or so (if you subtract the 10 days of national mourning). During this time the Queen has passed away; the pound is the weakest it's ever been against the US$; house prices are crashing, and the IMF has issued a warning to the UK!

@@yannicklewy7281 Friedman is a snake oil salesmand and not an economist. The only valuable contribution he made was the helicopter money concept. Apart from that his economic theory is complete bunk.
It appears that bond yields were rising before the mini budget so how this was not seen as a real risk at the time of announcing tax cuts and more borrowing to make up for not having an energy security policy is beyond me. Maybe they want to be rescued by the IMF!
But cutting taxes helped investors them to sell the government bonds, so they could get out early, but see how the money is controlling the government
IMF demanded a back-track today apparently
It looks to me like there is no structure to review, audit and inspect the proposal before actually committing to it so I guess they would have no idea what the markets are doing anyway, they just had a plan and went for it regardless of the economic conditions. I don't think I have ever heard of anything like this in a first world country before.

The markets are shocked that the UK will soon have a Labour government. There is no way the Tories will remain in power more than another 12 months (tops), and then it will be Labour's turn.
Do you truly believe this
Ahh the illusion of choice
Labour will do marginally better. Starmer is a Brexit supporter, a brexiteer in disguise and he is afraid of the brexiteers in his own party, but Brexit is not the way forward.
BoJo was bad ruling this country, but Liz Truss will be even worse: the Queen died, the pound plummeted, there is soaring double-digits inflationary pressures which is undercutting purchasing power for all, more income inequality meaning the rich will be wealthier and middle income will fall to borderline poverty due to the tax cuts for high income earners.
They're all equally as bad. All puppets for the WEF and media
Labour turn to trash things up when there in what's new
Possibly the understatement of the century, but I've just witnessed the most extraordinary if not monumental use of superlatives. Astonishing!
Why do you need two camera angles on such a routine journalists monologue?
An excellent question. Now I can't see past it.
The problem with the UK economy, is that it is a Rentier economy, not a Capitalist economy.
Asset inflation is the only real wealth creation we have...
Agreed. I also think a recession and rising rates was going to cause a fall in housing prices, regardless of the Budget.
In fact the removal of stamp duty and other taxes is completely supportive of house prices, so seems strange to blame the government for the inevitable fall in house prices.
@@Dedicated_.1 Everything goes in cycles. The irony is whilst house prices may fall, the cost of borrowing will increase faster .
If it costs more each month to borrow less, you still lose.

They all don't care in the end as long as they're all benefitted.
Really? Him and Boris blew £500+ billion in less than 2 years. He gave out £16.5 billion of taxpayers money in ‘covid loans’ to ‘Brits’ who took the money and then returned to India and Pakistan.....so he just wrote them off as he knew they would never be repaid. He helped to throw £39 billion to fund a ‘track and trace’ system.....that never worked, and you think he did a great job? His own billionaire wife didn’t pay any UK income tax, takes millions in profits from Russia and he kept his US green card going so he could return to his mansion in LA (which he now has!). And us Brits didn’t like him because of his colour! C’mon man!! Saying all that, he’s still better than Joe Biden 🤦♂️😂
She wasn't voted in by the Brits. She was chosen by the Tories themselves. It was a process internal to the Tory party.

Would have been better off with Rishi. Tories chose wrong again 🤯
I am sure the Tory party members, just as their MPs who had voted for Rishi in majority, knew exactly what was going to happen but they wanted Liz Truss to be the PM anyway, for obvious reasons. As Omid Djalili said in one of his standups about the British character that led to Brexit happening: "we made our decision. We are going to keep moving forward" even if it means it's fatal.
Would have been better with Jeremy Corbyn
They don't care. They're all in it together.
You could be right. But that is just focusing on a tiny detail, when we should step back and question if it is the right party. And step back again and question if a 2 party system is the right voting system. And step back again and question if having self interested political parties do what they want, is a sound idea. Don't step back at all, and you are supporting the current mayhem, and have to live with whatever mess they inevitably make.

Only really for cash buyers. High interest rates can mean you pay back just as much over the overall term of the mortgage. Also banks are less likely to lend money and they’ve pulled 40% of their mortgages of the market because the interest rate is likely to keep rising.
@@GreaseMonkeyFix Agreed. It's worrying the level of ignorance among people that really don't think things though.
If we bailed out the banksters why cant the banksters bail out the people.

@@evryatis9231 Very perceptive.
Very few banks were actually bailed out. The UK's biggest bank HSBC wasn't and the CEO wasn't in favour of bailouts either.
A more comprehensive explanation is needed
yes BoE needs to follow the Fed and raise rates to stem inflation, and stabilse guilts, why the alarm?
It’s in this mess because we spent £400bn on a pandemic whose existence was tenuous at best, closed economic output for months on end when the economically active were least at risk and allowed Johnson, Sunak and Hancock to have access to seemingly unlimited “emergency” funds with no effective oversight from parliament. Nobody batted an eyelid at that. Now we have a few billion on a tax cut for those earning over £150k and it’s end of days!
There is no benefit to tax cuts at a time of such global crisis. The UK gov keeps insisting on austerity and they are going to get increased instability that will probably turn violent.

Another strange, wishy-washy style summary of what’s really going on. Real questions ought to be: Cutting taxes for the super rich when there is a 20% real inflation? How does that help? And why raise IR only now when inflation has been on the rise since QE has been implemented.
Does she know anything about basic economics or is she just there to help the super rich?
Also, the “aggressive” IR raise mentioned would need to be at least 20% to have any impact, just like it was pre-Thatcher. .75 basis points is not going nowhere near stopping inflation.
Also: “Britain is not the only one by any means.” Really? Is that what will comfort the general population? The Swiss however, seem to be doing pretty well-and why? They are not over leveraged like the UK is!
She was elected by a clique of few hundred thousand tory party members.

Did you even watch the video? They explicitly cited tax cuts as being inflationary and rate hikes as being recessionary.
Tax cuts for the 'super wealthy' has little to no impact on inflation. The majority of consumer spending comes via the middle and lower class, to this degree a 20% to 19% income tax change will have a greater impact on inflation than dropping the rate from 45% to 40% for additional rate taxpayers. To your second point about a 20% IR rise, this kills off demand for goods and services, the expectation is that demand is going to fall off anyway for the UK consumer whilst prices are already expected to fall into next year, so increasing the interest rate too heavily could cause more damage than it needs to. This inflation isn't wholly demand driven so throwing the kitchen sink at killing off demand is a dangerous game and could over-do it, it has been caused by supply chain disruptions primarily, with a degree of pent up demand and increase to the amount of savings the average consumer has because of the pandemic (this is demand side but less weighting than supply chain problems). The UK has the 2nd best Balance Sheet of the G7 nations so is in a reasonable position to borrow money comparatively to other nations. There is terrible sentiment already in the UK about the coming winter so lower demand for products is already largely built in. If inflation self-corrects next year because supply chains sort themselves out naturally and expectations of global recession (supply up demand down) then all these dramatic rate hikes will have been more detrimental than helpful. You can already see this in oil prices and other commodities. This is why the inflation was originally expected to be 'transitory' which it could be, just that it lasts a little while longer than expected. Also to your last comment 'is that what will comfort the general population?'. What is the goal of the government/BOE here? To properly address the issues at hand or make the average person who understands nothing about economics feel better?
It's easy to raise your pitch forks about the problems that are going on rather than engage your mind and look at the actual data. This wasn't intended to be a personal attack on your comment just seemed an apt place to explain.
@@northyrs7240 so many words, but so little sense
@@northyrs7240 If tax cuts for the super wealthy have no impact, why even consider putting them into effect? And why promote it as some big achievement on behalf of the government? That was my point. Maybe it was not clear. To your comment regarding killing off demand: Demand is already low and is being kept alive artificially through subsidies such as QE (which is, essentially a tax on the population) and negative interest rates. Inflation will not subside and inflation is what is stifling demand in the first place, the higher the prices, the less purchasing power there is. to that comes to devaluation of the currency, also stifling demand.
To your point about the UK's balance sheet: It's useless to pat ourselves on the back about how great the balance sheet is amongst nations of the G7, when most nations are even worse shape and bankrupt. It also contradicts the current socio-economic situation with the so-called "cost of living crisis" and the fact that distribution of wealth indicators have moved miles apart, the gap between rich and poor growing year by year further (and now the tax cuts). Furthermore, the UK’s net capital stock was estimated at £4.5 trillion in the 2020 government report, increasing by 0.6% compared with 2019 in chained-volume measures, which is significantly below the average increase of 1.5% between 2010 and 2020 and was the lowest growth rate since 2015, when annual growth was 0.3%--Scarcely the indicators of a fantastically healthy balance sheet.
Moreover, the "inflation-is- self-correcting" argument is something that has been used since 2009, when the first QE policies have been enacted and were meant as a temporary "emergency measures", an emergency that has lasted for well over a decade now ...has it self-corrected? No. Also: how is it meant to "self correct"? There is only one body able to regulate inflation and that's the national bank, the BoE. Are they really doing anything to rein in inflation? No. It's getting worse, as more money is being printed. Inflation is a tax that is paid by the poor and welcomed by the rich or as Friedman put it: "Taxation without legislation." or as Hemingway put it: "The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists." With war and inflation both in full motion, one cannot help but come to the conclusion that the truth has been laid bare.
To your point about the government's role: Yes, they have full responsibility towards the general population when it comes to monetary policy, including those who understand nothing about economics. So yes, if you have no understanding of basic economics, you think the responsibility lies in the hand of the economy or the people...or the tooth fairy, for that matter, sure. Government and party policies are sacred, everyone who questions them is uneducated and knows nothing about economics--a statement that authoritarian regimes have used and continue using today.
As to your last point about raising pitch forks: I look at the actual data every day and the reality on the ground. Maybe you should do the same and take your head out of the sand for starters, instead of writing demeaning and patronising comments.
Real inflation figures are almost never given by the government, especially because they continuously change the composition of the CPI, to suit their statistics. So it's the CPLIE, not the CPI. When a year and a half ago energy and petrol spending was roughly 150,- quid a month and now it it's more than double that, yes I will raise my pitch fork-- and so should you unless you still think that inflation is somehow accidentally bestowed on the British people because of Putin's war and the cost of living crisis!
This was not mean to be a personal attack, either, just an apt place to explain further.
Where is Sunak????
Because it is post industrial
It's a recession should have been in 2018/2019 here it comes
Recession is no more than 2 consecutive quarters fall in GDP. A 0.1% reduction is hardly noticeable, but still a recession.
It will be interesting.
Greatness is leaving Britain
Jai Hinduja. Even Queenie has had enough of the old anti-monarchist Truss.
Next time let Mss Keynes make a reports in her pyjamas
Boris got competition 😂
Turns out that "Indian looking" guy was in fact right all along, but UK couldn't bear to listen to "wise Indian looking" guy due to "certain" reasons.
Who is laughing now?😬
This economist girl must be the children of JM Keyness
Not quite. He was her great-great-uncle
if truss then YES
Cutting tax increases to corporations is just kowtowing to big money; their profits can shrink to let citizens breath. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
If Truss is a weak PM, how on Earth could it have happened that she was elected? How could this be possible?
Well the Tories did elect a corrupt pathological liar in Johnson so anything is possible.
She wasn’t - it was an internal Conservative leadership election
She wasn't elected by the British people. She was elected by a few hundred thousand tory party members who were presumably looking after their interests and those of their investments. There won't be political elections in Britain for another year and a half.
Well, you would have thought the elites could have made a more well-informed decision as to who is more capable amongst them, than joe public.
@@Nomadar Doesn't feel like a Democracy, if a country's leader is not elected by the people of the country 🤔

Which government? Is it still there?
Why are the world leaders and governments making gross and unusual mistakes simultaneously ?
They are not. Just trying to keep the rich richer and the powerful even more powerful. Let the sheep 🐑 suffer the consequences.
They are preparing the way for a one world leader, one where you will not be able to buy or sell without taking his mark on your wrist or forehead.
He's written about in the book of Revelation. Whatever you do, do NOT take this mark.
Every financial goal requires patience, dedication and consistent spirit knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world, both NFT, real estate and Crypto shares are really positively changing people's lives.
I'm thinking of investing in the crypto market but taking my time to figure out how the whole thing works.
Investing in crypto is very volatile and risky which is why most successful investors trade with professional brokers
The real risk in the Crypto market is the risk of not investing, not the risk of short term price volatility.
I have been investing in crypto but have had a bumpy ride. How can I reach your broker? I will appreciate any tip or pointers
I once tried trading myself but made more losses than profits. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone
Interest system should be flexible, non profit organisation need to be receive-able.
but wait, there's more!
