According to Lindsey Piegza, the chief economist at Stifel Financial Corp., the current economic downturn may not be as prolonged or deep as some have feared. In fact, Piegza expects the recession to be “shallow and somewhat short-lived” compared to previous economic downturns.

Piegza’s optimism stems from a number of factors, including the speed and size of the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The $2 trillion CARES Act, which passed in late March, included significant support for small businesses, individuals, and state and local governments, which she believes will help cushion the blow to the economy.

Additionally, Piegza points to the fact that this recession was not the result of any underlying economic problems, but rather an external shock caused by the pandemic. In other words, there was no fundamental weakness in the economic system that precipitated the downturn – it was a sudden and unexpected event.

Furthermore, Piegza notes that the economic indicators leading up to the pandemic were generally positive. Unemployment was low, wages were rising, and consumer confidence was strong. While these indicators have taken a dramatic hit in recent weeks, Piegza believes that they will eventually rebound once the pandemic subsides.

Of course, Piegza acknowledges that there are still significant risks to the economy, such as a possible second wave of COVID-19 infections and the potential for a prolonged shutdown in certain sectors of the economy. However, she remains cautiously optimistic, citing the resilience of the American economy and the willingness of policymakers to take aggressive action to support it.

In short, while the current economic downturn is certainly concerning, there are reasons to believe that it may not be as severe or long-lasting as past recessions. Piegza’s outlook may provide some measure of comfort to those who are worried about the economy’s future during these uncertain times.

    Nice timing, great video. Only if a good amount of folks do what you guys teach, just imagine how many millionaires we already have or will have in the future. Not the sad statistics where at least 50% of people are living paycheck to paycheck, even for high income earners. Great contents as always!

    Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate whether or not we’re going into a recession and precisely when it’s going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

    Sell the bounce and bug a bigger dip. S&P is going to 3200. A long and painful recession is coming. Keep 50% cash and use the strategy to trade around.

    It’s great to see JPMorgan buying a billion dollars worth of rental homes after we bailed them out and dumped trillions of dollars to prop up the banks! LOL. It’s good to see our tax dollars and QE stimulus going to good use!

    1) how do these people know what the market currently has priced in?
    2) why are some so convinced the Fed is going to have to raise higher and hold longer than market anticipates?
