Some of the best investing and personal finance articles from around the web.
Move over, inflation: here comes the earnings crunch (Wall Street Journal). “Reality is only just beginning to set in.”
Yield curve that matters is predicting a recession now (Axios). “It's just an indicator, not an infallible omen that dooms us. But still, it's worth watching.” See also, The U.S. Treasury Yield-Curve Recession Indicator is Flashing Red (Morningstar).
A bear market checklist (Compound Advisors). Check these four boxes and “you can withstand just about anything that comes your way.”
