Summary

  • The ongoing debate on whether the economy will face a recession or achieve a soft landing continues, with mixed opinions from experts.
  • Despite my longstanding recession prediction, the economic expansion has been extended due to delayed deployment of pandemic-era savings.
  • Tariffs have not benefited American manufacturing, leading to higher input costs, disrupted supply chains, and a slump in manufacturing jobs and output.
  • I recommend a balanced investment approach, focused on select dividend stocks while also building up dry powder in a cash equivalent.
