Quotables “Shorter term is much easier to predict than longer term.” “Just so you know, the economy and the stock market, they don’t always coincide. In fact, often they do their own things.” “We’ve seen evidence of that even in the 1990s. We were hitting recessions and it really didn’t take a big hit in the 90s.” “The reason 2002 was the worst year wasn’t because of the economy, because that was doing better. It was actually because everybody was fudging their numbers.” “We saw 2002 drop even though the economy was strengthening because 9/11 actually boosted the economy and not contracted it.” “We saw a really weird thing going in 2021 because the stock market just kept booming.” “The stock market is different from the economy. The thing that drives the economy is how much money there is flowing.”
