Market prediction: it will fluctuate. The market does not reflect economic growth, only growth and growth expectations relative to prior expectations. People are lowering their expectations of growth, responding to inflation and the fed pumping the brakes. Economic prediction: fundamentals are strong, fed will try to pump the breaks and not slam the breaks. I am not too worried but ready for anything!

You mean the federal reserve? I mean they are not magic, they have one lever and they can pull it gently or yank it.
It's going to get very ugly. Stocks on avg probably half way done, layoffs and freezes just starting. VC/PE money will reduce significantly. All but biggest cryptos will get smashed. Won't be as bad as 2000-03 but it won't be fun for a couple years.
Bullish
