Chris Markowski—AKA Wall Street’s Watchdog—has some criticism for the Fed, and comes on the show to talk about what they’re doing wrong at the moment. A lot of the conventional wisdom that is being taught about the Fed needs to be re-evaluated; there are a myriad of solutions for the current economic problems that go beyond our conventional perception of the Fed’s role/power. Nonetheless, there is a lot to be taken advantage of right now from an investing standpoint, and Chris names some assets and ventures to keep your eye on.

-We don’t have enough resources for things like alternative energy
-A lot of this inflation is self inflicted
-Many recessions in the past haven’t been named recessions until later, but we’re currently seeing slowed economic activity on numerous fronts
