Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's fell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's economy, who's spending, inflation, and confidence.

So, we got a pretty cool question that sheds light on the way different economic factors hit and work together.

And it's probably something worth knowing ahead of time,

so you can see the signs as they happen. Okay, here we go. Miss Bell, one of the most surprising

things I learned on the channel is that we're in a recession for months before they officially

tell us we're in a recession. Most people talking about the economy

are certain we're seeing correction in the stock market soon, which doesn't mean much to me.

I eat ramen a lot if you want to know how my financial situation is. They have also said

the word recession a lot recently, but since they don't really tell us

until we're already months into it, how do we know before they tell us? Inflation will go down

during a recession, right? And that will happen before they tell us. Just wondering what the

signs are. Right. A recession is two consecutive quarters,

so six months, of GDP contraction. You normally know after three months, but officially, it takes

six months to know. You're looking for the signs. If you want better results in search, replace the word signs for the term leading indicators.

That's financial speak for the stuff that happens before.

Okay, so inflation going down a bit is a sign of decreased demand and spending.

And we're kind of seeing that, but that alone isn't enough.

While you have technical indicators like yield curve inversions,

which isn't looking good, the Psalm rule and so on,

there are also easier leading indicators.

One is consumer confidence.
