In today’s final installment or our 6-part series, it’s all about what I call “alternative investment strategies.” 

These “alt-investments” are all about using tools that are generally non-correlated to the broader equity markets. They are also used to mitigate risk, and many times they move the inverse of what the broader stock market is doing.

In recent years, alt-investments have gained popularity even when stocks have trended higher. Now that stocks are struggling, alt-investments are even more important to learn about than ever before. If you’ve been looking for alternative ways to beat this bear market, then the alt-investment strategies in Episode 6 are aimed right at you.

Of course, a Fabian podcast wouldn’t be complete without a recap of all the action in the equity markets, and this week we saw more bearish trade in domestic stocks, international stocks, oil, commodities and just about every market save for gold and bonds.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen didn’t help markets this week, as her confusing testimony before Congress made the markets even more nervous.

Find out how all of the markets shook out, and why there is a possibility of a new bear market without a recession in the U.S. economy.
