This financial advisor guy who keeps calling me every few months and I keep telling him I'm not interested called me yesterday and said he thinks we're headed for a depression, not a recession. I don't really think he's very smart, though, so take it FWIW.

my pet hypothesis is that some of that pandemic productivity gains were just unsustainably not doing stuff and now some of the job growth wo gdp growth is having to hire people to do that stuff again.

Yeah, from the extremely limited amount of information I have about him I’m 100% certain he’s not very smart.

I'm not a very good sales person, but i'm not sure its a great strategy for an FA to tell people he/she wants money from that they will lose all of said money very soon if they give it to him/her.

stevedave's guy, Jim Cramer said this was the best hedge for tech so I was thinking about doing the same. I didn't realize how much oil prices had fallen over the last month.

Fireworks sales were down roughly 15-20% this year from 2021. People are pulling back and are being more cautious in the face of uncertainty. I have upped my chances of a recession by the end of 2023 to 50%.

That is a part of it.

Higher transportation costs (gas, diesel, airfare) are a bigger part of it. The out of control inflation is using up a lot of people's discretionary income and putting a lot of people on edge.

I feel like investing in a company that manufactures A/C units, probably split units, and that has distribution channels in Europe would be a good bet at the moment. Anyone know of companies in this space?
