2021 Review, Recent Market Volatility, and The Outlook For 2022

Marc To Markets

Market volatility has picked up in the New Year with the NASDAQ, DOW, and S&P 500 all hovering around a correction. Although Global Markets were up 18% in 2021, many investors feel on edge about the path forward. Topics I cover include:

• How the market can be up so much during a pandemic
• The impact of inflation and our outlook for the Fed’s response
• Whether stocks are overvalued and our projection for 2022
• How to think about bonds in a period of rising interest rates
• Whether Covid is still a story in the market & the economy
