This podcast is about why your business just may not grow for the next decade.
Why not? Well, why wouldn’t we enter a bear market where markets are flat for 10 years, Stanley Drucken miller, who is one of the most respected minds on Wall Street, whose average any returns were 30% for almost 20 years, agrees that We might be entering a period of zero stock market movement and why not?
In 1966 – 1982. The market was completely flat. That’s almost 16 years of flat stock market returns. And so we have a good hold on monetary policy, fiscal policy. We have a good understanding of what the potential economic outlook is, certainly were an inflationary environment, highly likely want to recession, highly likely will have eventual growth, possibly stagflation. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that even if we have growth, that the stock market needs to go up.
I mean think about it, it’s been almost 14 years, a very, very solid stock market returns. 2021 the market was up 27% 2020 up 16% 2019 almost up 32,2018, 1 of the worst years was only down six in 2017 of 19, 2016, almost up 10,2015. flat market 2014, up 11, 2013, up, 29% goes on and on advisors are used to particularly this last five years or six or seven years used to their business is growing, their businesses are growing An average of at least 10%, and many are growing 15%, 20% and stories of 30% growth, massive assets coming in and massive growth to their businesses.
So why wouldn’t we enter? What is the Red Herod, A flat bear market that could occur for an extended period of time? The Old Adage in Wall Street. So when you cannot, when you have to thank you for listening.
