Iran’s Torpedo Headed for the Stock Market, Investing in Cannabis, and What the National Debt Means for You
On today’s episode, we look at what’s happening in Iran—one third of the world’s oil flows through the checkpoint at The Strait of Hormuz in Iran—imagine what could happen to the economy if this “black swan” event continues.
Then, we dive right into the worries and woes of a potential bear market on the horizon. After that, we discuss one of our listener’s questions: Rick from Mount Prospect, IL wants to know if now is the time to invest in the Cannabis Industry?
We wrap up the show by talking about the $22,393,460,288.22 debt our country is facing and what that means for you and your taxes. Fun fact: Did you know, that in 1835, one of our nation’s Presidents footed the bill completely eliminating our nation’s debt?
