Or it’s already here.
We heard a lot of talk about a recession in 2022.
Inflation surging put the pinch on just about everybody. Even if the economists didn’t declare it a recession, it sure felt like it.
But we are not out of the woods yet.
2023 has a chance to put the minor recession (two negative quarters of growth) that occurred in the first and second quarter last year in the dust.
The pandemic caused a brief recession.
Then growth surged to 30% for Q3’2020 as the world reopened.
After about a year of above average growth, we hit two negative quarters before the positive bounce in Q3’2022.
We haven’t seen the last of this recession and it’s just about to heat up.
Here’s why and how to trade it…
We are kicking off 2023 with a bang thanks to my brand-new service, Money Stack Challenge.
And it starts with one trade at a time. Our mission is to make 2023 the best year yet. Achieving returns you could only dream about.
This concept that has the potential to turn a $500 investment, into $10,000.
Or a $5,000 money stack, into $100,000.
We are days away from our first trade, so there is still time to get in on the ground floor of this innovative approach to the markets.
It’s not about swinging for the fences, quite the opposite actually.
By focusing on one trade at a time, we can give extra attention to the money management side and work to growing our small account throughout the year.
And it’s under my brand spanking new service, Money Stack Challenge!
I hope to see you on the inside.
After seeing that chart, you think normal GDP growth is returning?
Not so fast.
The pandemic was a shock that likely reverberates for a few more years.
And that means we haven’t seen the last of volatility in our economy.
The number one reason for me, that 2023 is likely going to see a steeper recession than 2022, is the Federal Reserve.
I don’t like to beat a dead horse, but the Federal Reserve is still raising interest rates.
They are doing that for only one reason – to kill the U.S. economy.
In other words, to really spell it out, they haven’t accomplished this yet.
The stock market sunk to bear market levels in 2022.
The U.S. economy showed it was in a recession for half the year.
And the Fed hasn’t flinched.
I think it speaks to the strength of the U.S. economy and the drive that the consumers have, especially after being locked up in 2020.
But it’s only going to carry things for so long.
It likely comes to a crashing halt in 2023.
The economy, and the stock market.
I’d love for the market to have bottomed, and I would be jumping in all the way up with bullish trades.
As I mentioned last week, this market is at a key technical level and Q4’2022 earnings this next few weeks might set the tone for the year.
Just because stocks have gone through a bear market, doesn’t mean it is over.
I expect more pain in 2023 and here’s the best way to trade it…
Your #1 Options Strategy in 2023
This is not a prediction, by the way.
I don’t have to predict if the market will crash or surge.
I see the signs that could send stocks tumbling, but there’s also another side of this that a lot of people believe the battle with inflation makes it different this time.
Isn’t that a dangerous phrase, “it’s different this time.”
It may be.
But I know to expect the worst, and play the best.
That means we are going to continue to play bearish trades, while also finding the best bullish trades in 2023 to benefit regardless of the overall direction.
And that is why I have one options strategy for you to implement in 2023.
