Like all explanations of inverted yield curves, this was a perfect breakdown for people who already understand it and didn't need to watch the video.

Just yesterday CNBC's talking heads were saying nothing can stop this bull run.

personally have been buying stocks since the beginning of the year and yet nothing's changed, but I've been reading articles of people still in the same market pulling off over 350k in just a couple months. Its tough out here!

It's alright, the plunge protection team will come save you.

When they say, "don't worry about it, " it's time to panic.

The fact that MSM keeps saying It's not different this time makes me think it's actually different this time.

Powell basically said without saying it, this will likely be the highest rates for 2019, so everyone dove in. end of story.

long term investors should do what they have always done - contribute consistently and do not touch your holdings! As Jack Bogle said the biggest enemy of investing can be the investor itself by panicking and doing something irrational.

For those of us who studied economics and understand accounting, we see right through your rhetoric!

[CraftsmanJack]

Right, after 8 years of QE and other FED financial shenanigans to blow the largest financial bubble in the history of the world, just ignore the yield curve and let this sell off be another buying opportunity Again, Again, Again. The party is over, SELL, SELL, SELL.

At least the general public is getting a good warning this time around. Nice explanation and nice video.

[MoneyGrowthAcademy]

CNBC and all the talking heads crack me up. One day the market can't be stopped. Next day *THE WORLD IS ENDING* We just did a video discussing the accuracy of the Yield Curve. Real in-tune investors have spotted trouble on the horizon for a while now. It's no surprise the market has been sugar-coated especially when you consider other indicators like the $4 Trillion consumer debt in the US. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Rick treats his flipchart as if it were a boxer who must be knocked down quickly. And Rick is the World Champion here.
