yield curve inversion
"I was inverted"
"cough Bullh1t"
No bull now, higher lows into a recovering 10-year bond yield. Recession guaranteed. However the width of this 'V' is depressing, this recession is going to be a depression if the downtrend lasts 2-3 years.
On the plus side a lot of folk are going to make a ton of money. Who will it be?
The gold bugs?
The Bitcoin brigade?
ATW the pound in my pocket is all you need?
Shotgun n tinned beans horders?
