I’m sick of America, I used to think everybody went broke during the Great Depression and other major crashes but they didn’t… Some made millions, I also thought everybody went out of business during these times but they didn’t, some went into business, there's always depression/recession for some people and there's always a good time for others, it's all about perspective.

This is why I've entrusted a fiduciary with my investmnt decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. My advisor crafted a tailored strategy aligning with my long-term goals, guiding entry and exit points for the equities I focus on. This has grown my portfolio to over $850k. My personal best so far

Recessions are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle; all you can do is prepare for them and plan accordingly. I graduated into a slump (2009). My first job after graduating from college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today, I own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, run my own company, and have increased my net worth by $800k in the last four years.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
The recession scare is surreal and the market is really panicking at this moment and I'm worried what effect this frenzy could have on my portfolio of about 80k. Could you make any recommendations on how I could preserve my portfolio during this period and also make profit from the market situation?
Investors should be cautious About their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.
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. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Carol Vivian Constable for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

Coming out of facing alot, I knew two things about the stock market: It caused the Great Depression, and the fastest way to make a million on the markets was to start with two million. And then the Great Recession happened only a few years later. So yeah, I wish someone had better explained it to me earlier in life. Having a good entry and exit strategy will make you succeed in the stock market.
That's awesome! Investing in stocks with a reliable trading system can lead to great outcomes. It's fantastic that you've been working with a financial advisor for a year now. Starting with less than $200K and being just $19,000 away from making half a million in profit is impressive! Keep up the good work!

This global recession/collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $480k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
I will advice you read up some good books on finances and investing, or just you get yourself a financiaI-advsor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Agreed, people often underestimate the role of financial advisors. Over 50 years of data reveal that those who work with advisors typically earn more than those who do it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 3 years now, resulting in a million portfolio.

It’s interesting that in most instances in that yield curve chart, the recession hit not when the curve remained inverted, but after it un-inverted and started going back up.
I find it hard to belive the reasons they give for the cause of the inversions and their recession predicability. I would look for how the FED's antics causes the reversion. And when they see that a recession is comming, they stop what they are doing, and the inversion is reversed. So, my hypothesis it that it's really the FED that causes this signal to work!
The yield curve has a near perfect correlation with the unemployment rate. The Fed is going to drop the bomb in March that the unemployment rate has gone parabolic. Imagine if the 8 million men who have permanently dropped out of the workforce were counted?
I could always tell when things were starting to go down. I went to work early, 4-4:30 and when there was an influx of repo truck drivers out at that time, the economy was starting to slow down.
And... illegal immigration + hiring more government workers. It's all been a smoke-screen to boost the economy before the latest election. Time to pay the piper coming soon.

What shocks me about Americans that they never wanna talk about issues. Property taxes are a killer in the long run and insurance rates are doubling or tripling. But talk about this at a dinner party and everyone will go quiet. It’s like they cannot be real.
You must be the life of the dinner party. Btw it’s all taxes combined with the fact the Fed is in control and screwing everyone including those outside the US.
At a dinner party most people probably want to discuss things that are more appealing. The other key point is what you are referencing are all a result of inflation which is a function of our debt. You want to fix these problem then it is the federal spending and debt that must be reduced.
As you pointed out the situation is a dinner *party*. Most folks at the middle to lower end of society don't want to discuss business at a party. It is how the upper end work, but they are taught differently at home (and sometimes at school) and are looking at growth not short term comfort.
Recessions don’t happen because we borrow our way out of it and dump more on our grandchildren, just like the past 50 years. It’s why house prices are so high.
Home prices are high because of a decade of artificially low interest rates, but mostly because the money supply was increased 40% between 2020-22. Home prices increased 37% during the same period. However, the collapse is inevitable and near. The sign is FARTCOIN has a 1 billion market cap.
In the months that follow. Not a totally unknown point. Also, he missed part of the prediction. The recession comes within 18 months of the yield curve reverting back to normal.
Actually Azul. If you look at the chart you put up at 7:30 mark, showing the yield curve uninverting, you’ll notice that it cashes after it uninverts. Usually 3 to 6 months after that. It is possible to be able to read the markets, but it is a long process. At least a 3 to 4 year learning curve just to be profitable. (Sound familiar to learn other professions.) For some very strange reason, most folk think that they are the outlier and can learn it in a couple of years and wonder why they can’t trade successfully. About 90%. Enjoy your videos. Happy new years.
Retirees have north of 60% equity allocations. When the market tanks there isn’t going to be any buyers. Stairs up, elevator down. The ERP (equity risk premium) is at record low.
I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200,000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?
I think a good investment portfolio should have three basic things: ETFs for diversification, dividend stocks for cash flow, and leading tech stocks. With your budget, it's a good idea to talk to a fiduciary financial advisor for expert advice.
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
I thought you will reveal some deep insider knowledge in this video. It turns out it boils down to just another "it's not timing the market, it's the time in the market" video
Time in the market is correct. I held tight through the 87 crash/savings & loan crisis, the 99/2000 internet bubble, the 08 housing crash/financial crisis, and lastly the covid crash. Market always comes back. Be patient. Have enough cash on the side and ride it out. Maybe even buy some more equities during bad times. I'm nobody special. If I can do it everyone can.
I find that my tolerance for risk is changing since I retired two years ago. I'm 73. I have a pension, so that is good. But, the though of losing ANY substantial part of my smallish retirement accounts is starting to freak me out. I am not worried so much about getting lower yields than I hoped for. I very worried about losing nearly all of it. Nearly all my funds are in IRA accounts. I can trade in and out of investments held in my IRAs with zero tax consequence. I developed my allocations when I was younger before I retired and I was allocated heavily in the S$P 500. I did well. But, now, I am thinking this upward trend in equities is very unlikely to continue. So, all things considered. I am getting out of equities for the time being. I can always jump back in, and I probably will. Likely at a different allocation. I got out of equities when they were high. When they get high I will jump back in with the push of a button. Yes, I guess it is timing the market. But, I am at a point in my life and circumstances when I can be very conservative and know I have what I need. The risk of missing gains no longer seems terribly important to me.
You are part of the problem Boomers working until 71 Boomers will work for less due to less expenses . Therefore taking jobs from the typical middle age families
Like they say, if you’ve already won, why play the game? Keep it conservative. I have two years of bills in cash earning interest, but even if interest goes back down to nothing, safety is the key! It’s more like insurance than investment.
Azul's strength is retirement planning, for which he's excellent. His weakness is forecasting stock market, which he should leave to others. Just get the asset allocation right and you'll be fine.
De-dollarization and rising U.S. debt, exacerbated by other nations bypassing the dollar in trade, threaten the dollar’s global dominance. This reduces America’s ability to print money, export inflation, and maintain low interest rates. Key risks include inflation, higher borrowing costs, and destabilized global markets. While the dollar’s reserve status remains strong for now, rapid shifts could lead to economic instability and potentially a depression if not managed carefully. US already in uncharted territory with 31% of global wealth
This is my biggest concern. De-dollarization and rising U.S. debt. A majority of our public officials don't seem to care. Those who do want to address it get chastised. A majority of the public are clueless about it. There is this attitude that the US is too big and strong to fail. No not true. Its math and we are fiscally failing.
The debt is the real issue. They are literally destroying our future in DC because people keep saying I want, I want not what can we do to reduce government?
The yield curve has been flat and just slightly elevated for the long term for years now. I would look at unemployment rates and job participation rates as a better indicator today.
With huge government over spending, huge increases in gov payrolls, and soon to be restated employment # in the negative, it could be were in an under reported recession during fhat negative yield curve. Imo
I can't believe there is a discussion of the yield curve with no mention of the fed printing money and using it to buy short term debt. When the Fed reverses this policy and allows the short term debt to mature without replacing it, the yield curve inverts. This time, the Fed did that for nearly 3 years. They haven't stopped doing it but the market doesn't like a yield curve inversion, so eventually it reverted. Look at the Fed balance sheet.
NO, its after the yield curve UNinverts that a recession is triggered within a matter of months and it's best to use the 3month to 10yr chart as it more reflects rates in real time. You shouldn't time the market but you can buy insurance, which is either hold a larger cash position or own some defensive stocks like Pepsi, Coke or one of the defense contractors like NOC and flip them if we have a legit crash.
Hmmm, I hope his predictions aren’t going the way of the famous ‘professor’ who ‘guaranteed’ Trump would not win on this occasion according to his ‘special’ keys to predicting the next president! Got that totally wrong!!!!!😑
hanks for the update, happy new year, where can I find this index?? please let me know I couldn't find it I've searched again I couldn't find the index, thank you.
Azul, you are fantastic!! You are a great teacher, and I listen carefully to your videos. I'm retiring now, and I have been decreasing my risk by moving some / percentage into cash from stocks. I can always place it back into stocks, but I need to sleep!! Thanks for the great advice!!
Thanks for the kind words Steven. Peace of mind is important. That said, the warm and cozy feeling of a low risk portfolio can also be costly over 20-30-40 years. Getting that balance "right" is important. If you have not yet, think about chatting with a few fee-only, fiduciary 100% of the time, financial advisers. They can give you a second opinion to consider. You can find fee-only advisers at www.NAPFA.org. Not an affiliate ... just a fan! Happy New Year Steven. Here's to a great 2025 for you and your family. 🎉 Azul
It surprises me why everybody gets really worked up about recession and inflation data. Inflation has always existed, and people have been using investments to beat the inflation. The stock market return, for example, always beats inflation. I heard of someone who invested $121k last October, and has grown the portfolio by more than $400k. I need recommendations that can give me similar return.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $124k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
I'm sure the idea of an investment-adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch. I've accrued north of 580k within 16-months from an initially stagnant Portfolio worth 85k.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Stacy Lynn Staples” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I have a feeling the GDP and spending numbers are skewed due to under measured inflation. If GDP is 2% but inflation is 4%, we're actually in a decline.
Thanks. Campbell Harvey is a smart guy. I had a chance to talk to him about the 2/10 chart. He attributes its predictive attributes to the power of the crowd. I disagree. If the crowd was so smart, we would not have stock market bubbles. I think it is bc banks cut back on loans when the 2/10 inverts. Either way, it has been a useful tool. Thanks for being a long term viewer and for sharing your insightful comments frequently. Happy New Year 🎉 Azul
Almost everytime the FED raises rates it triggers a recession.I believe everytime the money supply contracts as it has been it triggers a recession.Seldom has the FED managed a soft landing.On the plus side a positive outlook by buisness and consumers can lesson the blow. Bottom line odds of a recession are high
How does an appropriate asset allocation buffer losses in a recession when often bonds are down at the same time as bonds? Many of us are tied to a brokerage firm and mutual funds. We have no idea the quality of the bonds within the fund.
@@appleztooranges if its already invested in the roth as money market it doesn't matter. If you invest in money market prior to putting it into the roth, you can only invest up to the contribution limit. The rest can be invested in a standard brokerage account.
Best Thing to do, don’t listen to a random guy on TH-cam, hold, if it goes down buy the dip TH-camrs want and need likes and views, be careful and make your own decision on your finances
Hold??? For how long??? If you've been holding, "waiting for the market to go down" so you can finally buy the dip, you've missed 2 of the best years back to back ever. Peter Lynch once said more money has been lost by investors anticipating the correction, then the money actually lost in a correction. Hard to time it my friend..
@ no I’m holding onto my bag that is invested with some cash on the side to reinvest if it goes down, selling is trying to time or predict the market which is extremely risky. I’ve only just started in stocks I was doing crypto but it’s way more risks in Crypto with Rug pulls etc, I’m 100% keeping hold of my investments, it’s the sensible thing to do, selling is the risky part if you’re hoping to get in at a lower price
Depends on your finances . 1000$ in XAI47K is 4000 XAI47K if it goes to 50% of ath in 2024 thats a 600% gain. If it goes equal to ath . Its a 1200% gain.
Amazing. This video talks of the yield curve and has 35000 views. Incredible. It is like a physics video talking about the existence of gravity and getting a million views!
That made me laugh. Breaking news ... Apple falls down to the ground from the apple tree. 🤣 I am not sure, but I am guessing 90% of USA has never heard of the "inverted yield curve". Just like I have never heard of things that are common place in other people's occupation. Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment (and for making me chuckle). 🙏 Azul
I really want to do well in the stock market in 2025. I have about $120,000 in a 401(k) that I was kind of ignoring before, and now I want to make sure it's invested the right way. So looking for any sort of good guidance as to what I can do with the money I have that I'm clearly not contributing to.
Follow the S&P 500 by investing in ETFs like VOO, SPY, and SCHD. Dollar-cost averaging into these ETFs will likely outperform most investors in this bull run. Remember to always work with a knowledgeable person in the financial market when starting out to avoid getting burnt.
@@Skimama1 There are tons of benefits to having a financial advisor, but here’s one example: My advisor based a small part of my portfolio on Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio, which is completely legal. That portion has gone up 71% in just six months-take that info as you will.

3:35 This chart correctly predicting past recessions and showing us freshly entering the same conditions again is horrifically outdated. It ends in 2020! The Duke Today interview you referenced is also very old... from 2019. Why are you dredging up old data and presenting it as news?
Hey, banks don’t borrow money. That is not how the system works. The banks don’t like lending money out for less than they can BUY treasuries at. That’s why housing is based off the 10. Why would banks lend you money if they can make more money buying treasuries? The FF is the rate that banks use for overnight lending to each other.
This will be a self induced recession. Im not going to pay extra for a new car or laptop or cell phone. If I dont buy and spend then a recession happens. Prices are already high not with a self induced higher tax on products I simply wont buy.
Based on these charts, It looks like we have one to three years, just start slowly moving your money to something safer over that period of time. Bonds, Dividend EFT's, ext....nfa
I think if the tariffs that may be coming our way are indeed put in place, we are in for a rough ride. It did not work out for Hoover and his Smoot Hawley bill he passed. It did not start the Great Depression, but it did acerbate the problem and make it more global.

Correct. It’s the “uninversion” that gets you, and in short order.
To me a "perfect track record" also means no false positives.

I could always tell when things were starting to go down. I went to work early, 4-4:30 and when there was an influx of repo truck drivers out at that time, the economy was starting to slow down.
Recession has been delayed due to exorbitant deficit spending by Government which has kept the stock market at record levels.

no the public is spending and buying or I know I have been but with even tarriff higher prices coming I wont be spending or buying.,
Recession comes when people stop spending. And that happens overnight.
I think the stock market has been up with less than 20 stocks related to AI mostly! Everything else is sluggish…
Historicaly we don't have a recession until 3 to 9 months AFTER the yield curve begins to Bull Steepen. So we are still in that time period.
Yield curve inversion has predicted 50 of the last 5 recessions.
Was wrong only in '66 (never came) and late on 86 (took 4 years) but wasnt under 0

Recessions don’t happen because we borrow our way out of it and dump more on our grandchildren, just like the past 50 years. It’s why house prices are so high.
Home prices are high because of a decade of artificially low interest rates, but mostly because the money supply was increased 40% between 2020-22. Home prices increased 37% during the same period. However, the collapse is inevitable and near. The sign is FARTCOIN has a 1 billion market cap.
Not every recesión is 2008 or 1929. Some recessions are very mild. So take with a grain of salt everything
Well, we have the biggest asset bubble in human history triggered by the largest money printing event in Fed history. There is that.
Predicting that a recession will happen at some unknown point in the future must be correct, right?
Shhh. Don’t share the secret.
In the months that follow. Not a totally unknown point. Also, he missed part of the prediction. The recession comes within 18 months of the yield curve reverting back to normal.
Been that way for years. Still no recession..
With the gross manipulations of economic data, we aren't allowed to know if the real economy is in a recession or not.
The recession comes after it uninverts, which just happened
Being setup for the mother of all crashes.
The markets are almost always overvalued.
Azul , you are great with information. But, you have 3 videos about the recession doomsday…
Bad news sells.
Actually Azul. If you look at the chart you put up at 7:30 mark, showing the yield curve uninverting, you’ll notice that it cashes after it uninverts. Usually 3 to 6 months after that. It is possible to be able to read the markets, but it is a long process. At least a 3 to 4 year learning curve just to be profitable. (Sound familiar to learn other professions.) For some very strange reason, most folk think that they are the outlier and can learn it in a couple of years and wonder why they can’t trade successfully. About 90%.
Enjoy your videos. Happy new years.
Azul, wonderful view of positioning for balance. What's your take on Bonds vs Bond funds?
i think it's actually more accurate timing wise when it uninverts...
Good advice at the end of the video regardless of what happens.
Great content, love how you explain things...
Retirees have north of 60% equity allocations. When the market tanks there isn’t going to be any buyers. Stairs up, elevator down. The ERP (equity risk premium) is at record low.
I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200,000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?
I think a good investment portfolio should have three basic things: ETFs for diversification, dividend stocks for cash flow, and leading tech stocks. With your budget, it's a good idea to talk to a fiduciary financial advisor for expert advice.
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.
I'm glad I found this conversation. I have cash to invest but am worried about picking the wrong stocks. Can you refer me to your financial advisor?
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.

I thought you will reveal some deep insider knowledge in this video. It turns out it boils down to just another "it's not timing the market, it's the time in the market" video
Financial planners aren't the right place to go for deep inside or knowledge in the market. They'll sell you annuities
Time in the market is correct. I held tight through the 87 crash/savings & loan crisis, the 99/2000 internet bubble, the 08 housing crash/financial crisis, and lastly the covid crash. Market always comes back. Be patient. Have enough cash on the side and ride it out. Maybe even buy some more equities during bad times. I'm nobody special. If I can do it everyone can.
I agree. make a plan and stay the course. Dont listen to experts. They seldom are experts at anything
Even eating at Mcdonnolds is expensive now days.
I find that my tolerance for risk is changing since I retired two years ago. I'm 73. I have a pension, so that is good. But, the though of losing ANY substantial part of my smallish retirement accounts is starting to freak me out. I am not worried so much about getting lower yields than I hoped for. I very worried about losing nearly all of it. Nearly all my funds are in IRA accounts. I can trade in and out of investments held in my IRAs with zero tax consequence. I developed my allocations when I was younger before I retired and I was allocated heavily in the S$P 500. I did well. But, now, I am thinking this upward trend in equities is very unlikely to continue. So, all things considered. I am getting out of equities for the time being. I can always jump back in, and I probably will. Likely at a different allocation. I got out of equities when they were high. When they get high I will jump back in with the push of a button. Yes, I guess it is timing the market. But, I am at a point in my life and circumstances when I can be very conservative and know I have what I need. The risk of missing gains no longer seems terribly important to me.
You are part of the problem
Boomers working until 71
Boomers will work for less due to less expenses .
Therefore taking jobs from the typical middle age families
Like they say, if you’ve already won, why play the game? Keep it conservative. I have two years of bills in cash earning interest, but even if interest goes back down to nothing, safety is the key! It’s more like insurance than investment.
Stop worrying
You’ll be fine
Start spending while you still can!
At least you are the lucky few that have a pension. Most do not. That pension makes it a lot easier to deal with.
Very good decision! You should taper off risk after 50.
Azul, the volume on this video was very low. It's usually higher. I turned it all the way up and still could hardly hear you.
Azul's strength is retirement planning, for which he's excellent. His weakness is forecasting stock market, which he should leave to others. Just get the asset allocation right and you'll be fine.
De-dollarization and rising U.S. debt, exacerbated by other nations bypassing the dollar in trade, threaten the dollar’s global dominance. This reduces America’s ability to print money, export inflation, and maintain low interest rates. Key risks include inflation, higher borrowing costs, and destabilized global markets. While the dollar’s reserve status remains strong for now, rapid shifts could lead to economic instability and potentially a depression if not managed carefully.
US already in uncharted territory with 31% of global wealth
This is my biggest concern. De-dollarization and rising U.S. debt. A majority of our public officials don't seem to care. Those who do want to address it get chastised. A majority of the public are clueless about it. There is this attitude that the US is too big and strong to fail. No not true. Its math and we are fiscally failing.
The debt is the real issue. They are literally destroying our future in DC because people keep saying I want, I want not what can we do to reduce government?
Invest...stay in...dollar cost average...repeat - trends are trends and will happen. The only SURE way to fail is trying to TIME the market
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Strap in!
Not a recession, but a depression even greater than the 1930s.
The yield curve has been flat and just slightly elevated for the long term for years now. I would look at unemployment rates and job participation rates as a better indicator today.
Private equity is quite different these days.
Great video!
Most recessions after yield curve inversions happened 18 months or more after the first inversions and some happen up to 2 years after the inversions.
With huge government over spending, huge increases in gov payrolls, and soon to be restated employment # in the negative, it could be were in an under reported recession during fhat negative yield curve. Imo
Please raise your volume!
I can't believe there is a discussion of the yield curve with no mention of the fed printing money and using it to buy short term debt. When the Fed reverses this policy and allows the short term debt to mature without replacing it, the yield curve inverts. This time, the Fed did that for nearly 3 years. They haven't stopped doing it but the market doesn't like a yield curve inversion, so eventually it reverted. Look at the Fed balance sheet.
NO, its after the yield curve UNinverts that a recession is triggered within a matter of months and it's best to use the 3month to 10yr chart as it more reflects rates in real time. You shouldn't time the market but you can buy insurance, which is either hold a larger cash position or own some defensive stocks like Pepsi, Coke or one of the defense contractors like NOC and flip them if we have a legit crash.
recession in the US, depression elsewhere (specially in Europe). But the world capital will still go to the US and dollars (in the stock market).
Hmmm, I hope his predictions aren’t going the way of the famous ‘professor’ who ‘guaranteed’ Trump would not win on this occasion according to his ‘special’ keys to predicting the next president! Got that totally wrong!!!!!😑
I do. Don’t want a recession
That dude read his own keys wrong because of his brainwashed bias from CNN. His keys predicted Trumps win this time.
The guy only had a 90% win system. The 10% came around 😂😂
1st. Thing I thought of.
No recession if USA keeps printing trillions of dollars out of thin air. That's how selfish USA is and anyone who supports this is shameless.
It’s been this way for several years on CDs
hanks for the update, happy new year, where can I find this index?? please let me know I couldn't find it I've searched again I couldn't find the index, thank you.
Azul, you are fantastic!! You are a great teacher, and I listen carefully to your videos. I'm retiring now, and I have been decreasing my risk by moving some / percentage into cash from stocks. I can always place it back into stocks, but I need to sleep!! Thanks for the great advice!!
Thanks for the kind words Steven. Peace of mind is important. That said, the warm and cozy feeling of a low risk portfolio can also be costly over 20-30-40 years. Getting that balance "right" is important. If you have not yet, think about chatting with a few fee-only, fiduciary 100% of the time, financial advisers. They can give you a second opinion to consider. You can find fee-only advisers at www.NAPFA.org. Not an affiliate ... just a fan!
Happy New Year Steven. Here's to a great 2025 for you and your family.

The graph is really old. There was a mild recession during Covid. Now the yield curve is positive again.
It took 18 months between 2016 and 2018. Not " several months ".
We are already in one.
The recession hits on the upswing, not at the lowest point. So we may yet see a recession.
It surprises me why everybody gets really worked up about recession and inflation data. Inflation has always existed, and people have been using investments to beat the inflation. The stock market return, for example, always beats inflation. I heard of someone who invested $121k last October, and has grown the portfolio by more than $400k. I need recommendations that can give me similar return.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $124k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
I'm sure the idea of an investment-adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch. I've accrued north of 580k within 16-months from an initially stagnant Portfolio worth 85k.
That's fascinating. How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Stacy Lynn Staples” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search for her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
I have a feeling the GDP and spending numbers are skewed due to under measured inflation. If GDP is 2% but inflation is 4%, we're actually in a decline.
The world will probably end tomorrow ! A great title to use!
Thanks. Campbell Harvey is a smart guy. I had a chance to talk to him about the 2/10 chart. He attributes its predictive attributes to the power of the crowd. I disagree. If the crowd was so smart, we would not have stock market bubbles. I think it is bc banks cut back on loans when the 2/10 inverts. Either way, it has been a useful tool. Thanks for being a long term viewer and for sharing your insightful comments frequently. Happy New Year 🎉 Azul
There have been eight recessions in my lifetime. Haven't even noticed. Who cares.
Almost everytime the FED raises rates it triggers a recession.I believe everytime the money supply contracts as it has been it triggers a recession.Seldom has the FED managed a soft landing.On the plus side a positive outlook by buisness and consumers can lesson the blow.
Bottom line odds of a recession are high
Demand for bonds causes yields to fall not rise.
Warren Buffet said it best, “ when investors are cryin,I’m buyin, when the investors are buyin I’m cryin”
Just keep a year’s worth of cash. You’ll be fine. Most recessions last under a year.
How does an appropriate asset allocation buffer losses in a recession when often bonds are down at the same time as bonds? Many of us are tied to a brokerage firm and mutual funds. We have no idea the quality of the bonds within the fund.
I’m throwing 7k into my Roth IRA January 2. Should I hold off?
For this market now, I put my Roth in vanguard money market and earn 4.5%. If the market really crash, I will take the money out to buy low
@ smart but what happens if I go over the 7k in money market. You can only have 7k in Roth IRA
Put it into a money markey etf and wait if you're worried. Then dollar cost average it over several months into funds you feel comfortable buying.
@ what happens if it goes over 7k in money market t
@@appleztooranges if its already invested in the roth as money market it doesn't matter. If you invest in money market prior to putting it into the roth, you can only invest up to the contribution limit. The rest can be invested in a standard brokerage account.
Best Thing to do, don’t listen to a random guy on TH-cam, hold, if it goes down buy the dip
TH-camrs want and need likes and views, be careful and make your own decision on your finances
Hold??? For how long??? If you've been holding, "waiting for the market to go down" so you can finally buy the dip, you've missed 2 of the best years back to back ever. Peter Lynch once said more money has been lost by investors anticipating the correction, then the money actually lost in a correction. Hard to time it my friend..
@ no I’m holding onto my bag that is invested with some cash on the side to reinvest if it goes down, selling is trying to time or predict the market which is extremely risky.
I’ve only just started in stocks I was doing crypto but it’s way more risks in Crypto with Rug pulls etc, I’m 100% keeping hold of my investments, it’s the sensible thing to do, selling is the risky part if you’re hoping to get in at a lower price
Depends on your finances . 1000$ in XAI47K is 4000 XAI47K if it goes to 50% of ath in 2024 thats a 600% gain. If it goes equal to ath . Its a 1200% gain.
Retirees don't have alot of time left to be "in" the market......
Amazing. This video talks of the yield curve and has 35000 views. Incredible. It is like a physics video talking about the existence of gravity and getting a million views!
That made me laugh. Breaking news ... Apple falls down to the ground from the apple tree. 🤣
I am not sure, but I am guessing 90% of USA has never heard of the "inverted yield curve". Just like I have never heard of things that are common place in other people's occupation.
Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment (and for making me chuckle). 🙏 Azul
This is old hat a man named howard ruff talked about inverted yield curves in 1980 and how they predicted recessions.Why no mention of this?
Interesting. I'd like to see the chart going up to Dec. 2024.
We will borrow our way out of it just like we have always done in recent decades, that is why house prices are so high
Interesting video. But audio is very LOW. Hard to hear. I have the video set to 100% and my laptop as well.
I have successfully predicted 12 out of the last 5 recessions
Going with gold; don’t trust bonds!
Warren Buffett does. He has 120 billion in short term bonds right now. If they fail he’ll wipe out more than half his wealth.
I really want to do well in the stock market in 2025. I have about $120,000 in a 401(k) that I was kind of ignoring before, and now I want to make sure it's invested the right way. So looking for any sort of good guidance as to what I can do with the money I have that I'm clearly not contributing to.
Follow the S&P 500 by investing in ETFs like VOO, SPY, and SCHD. Dollar-cost averaging into these ETFs will likely outperform most investors in this bull run. Remember to always work with a knowledgeable person in the financial market when starting out to avoid getting burnt.
Index Funds & ETFs: 40-50%, Emerging Markets (e.g., VWO): 10-15%, Dividend Stocks: 10-20%, Growth Stocks/Small-Caps: 10-20%, REITs: 5-10%
@@Skimama1 There are tons of benefits to having a financial advisor, but here’s one example: My advisor based a small part of my portfolio on Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio, which is completely legal. That portion has gone up 71% in just six months-take that info as you will.
I find your situation fascinating. Would you be willing to suggest a trusted advisr you've worked with?
Lauren Christine Campbell is the advisr I use and im just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
More BS after BS!
When oblozo was president I pulled my money out thinking there would be calamity but the market shot through the roof. Short answer is the market doesn’t care who’s president.
P.S. there will be no "golden age" for America.
Ive got news for ya we have been in a recession for the last 3.5 years moving the goal posts changes nothing
So the chart shows recession is coming between 1 to 5 years from when the red line dip below zero - very insightful duh!
3:35 This chart correctly predicting past recessions and showing us freshly entering the same conditions again is horrifically outdated. It ends in 2020!
The Duke Today interview you referenced is also very old... from 2019. Why are you dredging up old data and presenting it as news?
You said the safest asset in the world is a U.S. Treasury bond.
I disagree. THE safest asset is gold you hold in your own custody.
Modern Monetary Theory is what happened, no recession yet but it is coming soon!
Recession is inevitable.
Thanks for your balanced, clear and hype free videos. They are greatly appreciated.
Very good analysis by you on the yield curve. I now understand its utility better. Thank you.
3m 10 yr has highest efficacy…. The inversion forecasts recession the steepening tells you you’re about to go in it.
Hey, banks don’t borrow money. That is not how the system works. The banks don’t like lending money out for less than they can BUY treasuries at. That’s why housing is based off the 10. Why would banks lend you money if they can make more money buying treasuries? The FF is the rate that banks use for overnight lending to each other.
This will be a self induced recession. Im not going to pay extra for a new car or laptop or cell phone. If I dont buy and spend then a recession happens. Prices are already high not with a self induced higher tax on products I simply wont buy.
It already happened
Azul, your gain (volume) is way too low. Check your audio.
Wow, audio is really low...need to up your levels!
Recession coming……….its coming…………it’s coming………..ok………so where are we at now………….andddddd……..where we been?
I'm a year or two from retirement. Losing 40% of my stock balance would be disastrous. I don't have "time in the market" anymore.
Me too! I’m wondering what do we do???!!!
@@CK-vp6hh go for a bigger proportion of 3-5 years bonds.
Same here. Just switched to bonds. I sleep better.
Based on these charts, It looks like we have one to three years, just start slowly moving your money to something safer over that period of time. Bonds, Dividend EFT's, ext....nfa
Yeah maybe you shouldn't be in a risky portfolio then. If you're that close to retirement you should have a lot less stocks and more bonds
I am not seeing 60% from Oct 2022? I see around 30%.
I think if the tariffs that may be coming our way are indeed put in place, we are in for a rough ride. It did not work out for Hoover and his Smoot Hawley bill he passed. It did not start the Great Depression, but it did acerbate the problem and make it more global.
Tariffs will cause recession.
Yeah im sure this will work
2s10 uninversion is not 100% predictive. It has had many false positives
