About this episode
The stock market’s recent nose dive has everyone buzzing, and The Higher Standard crew is here to break it all down. Chris, Saied, and Haroon dig into the fleeting positivity of the 2Y/10Y spread—did it really mean anything, or was it just a tease? Meanwhile, Dave Ramsey’s relentless “buy, buy, buy” mantra gets a skeptical side-eye as the hosts question whether it’s time to pump the brakes instead of the gas.
➡️ As if things weren’t shaky enough, U.S. credit card debt hits a staggering $1.14 trillion, and job growth falls way short of expectations. With unemployment creeping up to 4.3%, the guys explore whether we’re headed for a full-blown recession or just a rough patch. Buckle up—this episode is a wild ride through the latest financial turbulence.
