2 straight quarters of negative growth. There is definitely a Summer 2008 vibe in the economy and the market, so I agree with Fink but we will find out soon enough. If we trust the data.

But the markets are off to a great start this morning, so maybe Dalio, Fink, Dimon and Solomon (Goldman’s CEO) are all wrong with their recent negative comments.

Maybe Trumponomics will turn 250 years of economic theory and analysis on its side, and we will find out that an authoritarian regime run by a volatile, vindictive narcissist is the path to economic nirvana.
