As the holiday doldrums weigh upon the market and the REAL business seems to take a back-seat until after the New Year…
A lot of investors – both the Regular Joes at home and the major players on Wall Street – are evaluating their next big moves to ensure they make even more money in 2020 than they did in 2019.
That said –there are two questions that everyone seems to be asking…
Is there REALLY a recession looming? And if so, is there anything that our government can do about it?
Well, there are answers to these questions…
And more, there are ways to PROFIT from these two worrisome quandaries – and you won’t believe what they are.
So…
Why do so many of the talking heads believe there is a potential recession on the horizon?
The short answer?
Who knows!
The truth is, if you were to look at the overall markers that tend to predict a recession – the numbers just aren’t there to cause panic at this point, in my opinion.
Sure, there are a FEW signs that should be a little concerning…
But overall, there just doesn’t seem to be anybody out there making a real case for another recession.
Think about it – growth has remained above 2% this year, while we also have low unemployment, rising sales for American companies, and higher wages.
It’s like we’ve found this sweet spot of the correct economic conditions that promote growth while keeping everybody on their toes…
And it’s created a scenario that makes a recession seem highly unlikely.
In fact, if we ONLY looked at consumer spending – it should be enough to ease the concerns of even the most worried investor.
In the 3rd quarter of 2019, consumer spending rose 2.9% – mostly due to a BIG jump in retail sales.
What’s driving this consumer confidence?
Well, stability in the job market, for one…
Unemployment keeps falling – nearing ALL-time lows – and wages have been bumping up (13% over the past 5 years), which seems to be easing American consumers’ minds.
Even more – we’re not going nuts. After the 2008 crash – people were tapping into the equity of their homes – pushing our overall extension to $700 billion in 2009…
Today, Americans are more prudent – and while they’re still spending – they’re not going into debt to do it, as home equity balances have almost HALVED since that time, down to $400 billion.
This is good news.
However, that doesn’t stop people from still having worries about it…
Because they hear about the amount of debt our government is already carrying and are scared that Old Uncle Sam is about to go broke.
So, these worriers are asking…
Is our government’s multi-TRILLION dollar debt sustainable?
Honestly…
Yes, it is.
Uncle Sam’s $20-or-so trillion debt may seem insurmountable…
However, if you compare it to the $128 trillion in assets held by the US – you’d understand that America’s debt-to-assets ratio is just 15.6% – which is TINY compared to your average household.
Bottom line is…
The federal debt is really no big whoop…
Which should be a HUGE relief for investors across the board…
Even better news?
A new Congressional Budget Office report was just released and it showed that our federal debt is actually $2 trillion SMALLER than originally thought.
That’s largely thanks to falling interest rates, which have lowered the government’s debt servicing costs. As a result, the debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to stay under the 100% mark for the next 15 years!
Does that make you happy? It should!
So… how do we profit from this information?
Simple…
By buying stocks.
In doing so, you’ll be among the FEW who are ignoring the fear the talking heads are selling (for ratings and views) and you’ll be grabbing profits (and dividends) from the stable and VERY strong economy.
