Mid-Quarter Roundtable: Q4 - Impossible to Predict a Market Bottom

Recapping Mid-August to Mid-November, our Strong Valley advisor team talks about how this has been a rough year for just about everyone, with a recap of worst starts for bonds and stocks, along with a review of what happened with home and used car prices. The team discusses inflation and the Federal Reserve Rate – where it’s been and indications of where it might go. The top 3 questions from clients are answered regarding FTX, a possible 2023 Recession, and ideas on timing to buy when you have cash on hand. We wrap up with predictions on inflation and the rate hike in the coming year.
