I didn't see this coming; This Week's Reading Pile
Written by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
Well, I didn’t see this week coming.
From last Friday to today, unexpected things happened in financial services and morphed quickly.
I don’t see that as abnormal. It really is quite ordinary.
From the pandemic to inflation to the Fed raising rates as they have, the world is full of surprise left turns. You can’t predict them too far out. Beware of those who say they can.
Probably the best we can hope for is this: Be flexible and willing to shift when the winds change. Because the winds will change.
Now, on to this week’s reading pile.
