Hey! Welcome to the show, everyone!

Today, Stig and I sit down for another current market condition overview. Since the last time we’ve talked, we’ve seen a massive bounce in the equity market. We’ve also seen a massive amount of unemployment, and many other strange and abnormal things. Stig and I talk about a couple of stock picks, negative interest rates, currencies, and the differences between the US markets today and back in 1929. I think you guys are really going to enjoy this conversation, so let’s go ahead and get it started.

Hey, everyone! Welcome to The Investor’s Podcast. I’m your host, Preston Pysh, and as always, I’m accompanied by my co-host, Stig Brodersen. We’re back with you for another current market conditions episode. There’s just so much happening. We could probably do one of these every other day, but we’re trying to spread it out and trying to do one maybe once a month or so, and so here we are.

Stig, what are your thoughts, man?
