96. 2022 Mid Year Stock Market Recap and Future Predictions Leap of Fate

In Leap of Fate Pod 96, I bring on James Woodall, CEO, and Founder of Woodall Wealth Management. We dive into everything Stocks and the Bear Market of 2022. Our 2022 Stock Market Mid-Year Recap and Future Predictions include:

1. Inflation, Interest Rates, and Bear Market
2. Global Macro and Micro Issues
3. Supply Chain Issues
4. Cryptocurrency Correlation
5. Historical Stockmarket trends and review to analyze what the rest of 2022 and beyond has in store

Context:
The Stock Market in 2022 is off to a terrible start, with the S&P 500 down bouncing between above and below 20% (bear market), officially in a Bear Market now (June 2022). Investors in Big Tech are growing more concerned about the economic growth outlook and are pulling back from risky parts of the market that are sensitive to inflation and rising interest rates. This is a recipe for a troubled macroeconomic environment. While stock market volatility is normal in the short term, a market weakness so far in 2022 has investors worried about further downward movement.

For anyone interested in economics and your personal finances, this is the right podcast for you. Thanks to James for coming on and educating Leap of Fate! Stay safe and protect yourself!
