Quotes
[04:45] - “The economy and the markets are two distinct things. The economy might be in a situation where it’s in a recession but the markets typically are forward-looking.” ~ Greg Stokes
[15:20] - “If [the Feds] can somehow figure out a way to have a soft landing, which is what they’re trying to do by slowing down the economy, slowing down spending without causing a recession, I think that would be a pretty admirable result.” ~ Greg Stokes
[19:51] - “If you’re not confused about what’s going on in the economy right now, then you really don’t know anything about economics is a way to think about it. Because this is a completely unprecedented period.” ~ Doug Stokes
