More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I can’t tell you how many indicators were supposed to predict a recession last year, the year before, they year before that, and so on. They always come out with a new one. Next year there will be the zidbakldnsnan indicator. I trust your hemorrhoids more than all of them.
I wonder if people that experienced the 2008 crash had it easier because this market conditions are driving me to insanity, my portfolio has lost over $27000 this month. alone my profits are tanking and I'm don't see my retirement turning out well when I can't even grow my stagnant reserve.
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.

Thanks for the upload. I would love to see some commentary on comparison of YOY growth in the monthly nonfarm payrolls broken out for full-time and part-time jobs. When I look at it I see an absolute "alligator jaws" pattern right now, with part time skyrocketing and full-time plummeting when they used to move in tandem. The pattern is just like we saw in Q4 2007/Q1 2008.
With more strict regulations we would not have such extreme fluctuations that why laws where passed in 1929 to prevent a depression but those was lifted by Regan in the 1980s
The leading indicators you’ve been showing have called for a recession for the past 12-18 months. While I can’t rule out a recession in the next 12-18 months, I believe the odds are favorable enough to continue making targeted investments. Standing by in the current inflationary environment is not a viable option except for the very well heeled and experienced.
More than your economic data, I want to learn how you got to a point where you can synthesize information in such a beautiful way! I work in healthcare and am often told “Execution is the chariot of genius.” If I could present my data and speak to it like you do, I know I could do well for myself. Did you attend a program or school?
Great content. thank you. Some of the best videos I have seen. You begin with an basic premise of the make up of the indicator. I expect in reality not including Government spending is the factor throwing off the accuracy of the LI currently. Government expenditure is large but now hardly stable at the moment. I believe this is more than making up for the modified Duncan index somewhat decline.
what would be a good way to keep track of this indicator over longer periods of time? is it published anywhere, or is there software that can be used to compile this time series?
Small and micro caps seem to more realistically mirror the economy cycles. Need to check, what could be read just from the price chart of these caps. Very good video. Many thanks.
Your videos are great and enjoyable. However, I am concerned that you have a negative bias. The recession you (and others) predicted has not materialized for the last 3 years. Can you do a retrospective analysis of what went wrong with your analysis so far?
Can't you see that the USA is preventing any possible recession through reckless deficit spending and debt? Called "Inflation Reduction Act", ironically. Take the figures for GDP growth and US debt over recent years and overlay them, you get a clear pattern. The illusion of a powerful economy powered by debt and money printing.
We have plenty of those indexes, they just aren't "leading" indexes. We track Leading, Cyclical, Aggregate, and Lagging Indexes. Services consumption is generally a Lagging Indicator.
I don't understand how investors and other institutionalists view the fed as a viable instrument to spear inflation. The fed reserve has tools that only influence demand side of the supply/demand equation. To really get to the heart of inflation there needs to be a MASSIVE budget reform in govt spending (the direct influence in production). This election cycle is gonna be a wild one, the current regime will certainly try to mask the growing uncertainty in the economy.
why is the denominator real final sales (you skipped that bit and only mentioned the nominator)? and how do you get from nominal to real? with core PCE?
Government expenditures are counted as a boon to GDP? Seems like that could explain a lot of problems 🙄. To the degree we want an actual measure of prosperity, it'd be more like just the second and third components: * Private Investment * Net Exports ...and for exports what we really want is a measure of how many goods and services foreign countries 'owe' us, discounted by how likely they are to ever materially compensate us. I suppose by that token, domestic investment can be similarly adjusted to expect some "market" rate of return where many investments are expected to fail. Personal and government consumption are a mixed bag. Did we really enjoy eating gruel or was it just a necessity to provide enough calories to keep going--a cost of doing business? Same question if instead we ate a bunch of candy. Same for recreation. Maybe an entertaining movie amuses us for two hours and thereby enables us to work for four hours. But maybe spending those two hours on a dopamine detoxifying meditation or walk would have enabled us to complete six hours of productivity. It's hard to know how much consumption should be counted as domestic "product" vs. hedonistic annihilation.
Aye. Not to mention the classic example: I sell something to you for $20k, you sell something else to me for $20k. No wealth was created and we both have the same amount of money left than we had before those transactions, but both transactions count towards increasing GDP. The housing market works very much like that. People selling expensive real estate to one another create the illusion of prosperity in GDP terms.
All I know is I go to the gym during the day, around 10am, during the week (I am retired), and it is packed with 20-35 year old people. It seems like hardly anyone works anymore.
@@zyt4zcn I am sure lots of these people work odd hours/nights or weekends so have weekdays off etc… but it seems so much more crowded compared to the past. Some days I just want to ask everyone and see what they say, lol.
Loads of 20-35 year olds are in higher education anyway. Unless they have part time employment on top of that, it leaves them plenty of time to be in the gym.
Work from home, it's very common for my coworkers to leave for an hour or two during business hours. My last boss worked like 8-3. Nobody works 40 hours a week from home.
It seems like you fool yourself. Dunken index highly correlate with gdp itself which highly correlate woth ression. There is no use in gauge that tell you ression in 2 up to 3 years, as every 10 15 years there is recession anyway.
Dunken indicator , simply put, states, if there are less customers at Dunken Donuts a recession will surely follow soon !!!! Right now the indicator stands at 25 k donuts a day. The average is 32k a day. So, yes, we are all going to die !
That's because you've been brainwashed and have no idea what Trump or Biden have done to positively or negatively affect the economy. Idk if you watch Fox News, or right wing UA-cam streamers, but you need to turn that off before your brain becomes completely melted.
The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications.

As a layperson, I don't really GAF about how the system works. I just want to know what is going on currently. Because the mainstream media sure as hell ain't gonna tell us. So save the long winded explanations for a college lecture. Do people still go to those? Probably not.
Russia invented the hypersonic missile back then. That's when the world went full cowards. If this business cycle happens again money will be the least of my concerns. Look what happened during covid-19. It will be much worse. The wealthiest Americans would be very unsafe. The entire country would be uncomfortable and dangerous. Let's all hope that this is not a possibility.

With more strict regulations we would not have such extreme fluctuations that why laws where passed in 1929 to prevent a depression but those was lifted by Regan in the 1980s
this needs to be a video. I want to know those laws and the reason they were appealed.
Wrong, they were lifted by Clinton with the repeal of Glass-Steagall

You know that there are alternatives to hide in to risk assets
Wow! The absolute worst place to be in my opinion. You’re assuming no recession I guess?
I notice that the index appeared to predict a busy in 1966, but there was growth before the next recession.
What happened during that period?
Real GDP did contract for one quarter in 1966.

Can you explain the apparent secular rise in the index in the last 20 years? Despite falling 9%the index remains above all prior peaks
You might consider a custom index by adding SERVICES as the trigger when people simply stop spending. It is a service economy for the most part
We have plenty of those indexes, they just aren't "leading" indexes.

Services consumption is generally a Lagging Indicator.
