Business Insider reporter William Edwards discusses founder Jon Wolfenbarger's concerns that after an aggressive Fed rating hiking cycle, such as we have had the past two years, the economy typically goes into a recession. A common sign of a recession and bear market starting is when the Fed starts cutting interest rates aggressively. That is why investors hoping for Fed rate cuts should be careful what they wish for. The article also discusses Wolfenbarger's view of the unemployment rate. It has already risen by 0.5%, which has always signaled a recession in the past. Further increases in the unemployment rate will likely convince the Fed and Wall Street that a recession has started. Read this June 1 article.

Founder Jon Wolfenbarger explains how financial markets are very different from economic markets in his latest article for the Mises Institute, a popular economics think tank. Due to the different motivations people have for buying financial market assets versus buying economic market goods and services, financial market prices are driven by social mood and herding behavior, rather than traditional supply and demand. As a result, financial markets are heavily influenced by investory pychology, the boom-bust business cycle and bull and bear trends. Thus, to profit in finanical markets, investors need to understand how to use leading econonmic indicators, as well as technical and sentiment indicators such as the ones we continuously monitor and analyze at Bull And Bear Profits. Read this May 8 article.

The yield curve has already been inverted longer than any time since the late 1920s, before the Great Depression.

The most important factor for the economy is money supply growth, which drives the boom and bust business cycle, as Jon Wolfenbarger explains In this article for the Mises Institute.

Founder Jon Wolfenbarger examines the historical evidence of periods of high inflation such as we're in now. This evidence shows that once inflation reaches high enough levels to change consumer expectations, it can last ten years or more. The Fed's aggressive money creation policies -- particularly in response to the covid panic of 2020, when they engineered an unprecedented 40% increase in the money supply -- caused this high inflation. Now the Fed must keep raising rates, even into a recession, in order to try to bring inflation down before it becomes embedded in expectations and leads to much higher inflation and interest rates, which would blow up the Federal budget. Read this December 20 article.
