  • Quotes

    [04:17] - “The sentiment is bearish…that we're entering an imminent recession. The Fed is trying to introduce higher unemployment and trying to bring the economy down in order to temper inflation. That is the narrative at this point in time, and I'm sure that's going to change in the next couple of months, but just be reminded that sentiment does not always dictate reality.” - Doug Stokes  


    [07:57] - “If you ignore the fundamentals, ignore the narrative, and just follow what actions are occurring in markets and look at history, then there's some positivity going along with that.” - Doug Stokes
