Dion good report as usual, I'm an avid fan of your work. Very well spoken, educated, and you know your stuff. But I hope you see this given that its your channel. I just ran across your incident with the police in Phoenix and as a white guy with a a lifelong black friend of 40yrs that I meet in the 3rd grade, this sickens me that someone of your stature still gets harassed because of the color of your skin. Those cops could have handled that in many different ways like look at your YouTube channel, call the WSJ, etc etc. Its funny how they told the person recording that they were going to arrest her too. I think you handled it well my brother, stay strong, keep up the good work. And as a saving grace, one thing for sure is those dumb$$$ cops must not be investors since they didn't recognize you, but I guess that's why they are cops.

Let's get the nerd on! Apropos of nothing, has anyone commented on the blue shorts you wore when interviewing people in AZ (leaving out the unpleasant aspects, obviously)? It was a bold choice!

[quaishasseeb]

D, do you think the fixed income world has change forever? Changed in the way that rates will never drop as low as past years and fixed income will be more attractive in future years. Your thoughts?

[francescoolto]

What you mean when u say that worry about recession will bring dollar value up?

[petervince]

This brother must be an aspiring farmer, coz he effortlessly keeps using that " digging" phrase.

[notsodelusional]

One more comment: It's annoying talking to people who state that we've been in a recession since the beginning of the year because of the consecutive drops in GDP.

[leifharmsen]

why are you even talking about crypto?

[benjaminlehman]

I just want a dozen eggs under $2 and Gas at $2.50 a gallon 😢

[hectorcornejo]

There is still a labor shortage. Boomers are finally retiring. I don’t see the labor shortage ending any time soon.

Great biceps, but you need a proper fitting shirt that doesn't bunch so much
