Why Positioning in Volatility is Squeezing out the Bears | Systematic Investor 250

Cem Karsan joins me for a tour of the current volatility and macro environment, where we take a deep dive into where markets and economy are heading. We discuss the potential of the economy going into stagflation and why many investors might not be prepared for what is to come, the unpredictable volatility environment and how technology like AI is affecting markets. We also discuss the potential dangers of zero day options and how to position yourself appropriately for the markets, how to prepare for the upcoming summer holidays and much more.

Dear Cem and Niels,
Everyone seems to be fixated on this 'upcoming' recession, but listening to you both, I'm not sure that is the main issue here, why the markets might incur a big downturn.
Is my understanding of your talk correct?
