Rub a Lamp Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

Michael Farr welcomes back Jim Iuorio to the FarrCast this week. Last month Jim gave us his thoughts on the end of the bear market. Jim thinks it is over -- but he examines where he may be wrong, and what would make him reconsider. Matt Leffingwell steps in for Dan Mahaffee this week (who is away in the Far East) to give us an analysis of how the election results will impact policy.

And this week, Michael welcomes special guest and fan favorite, Jenny Harrington for an extended discussion on investing in difficult time. Patience is key, and their insight is not to be missed.

Michael Farr delivers a Thanksgiving message and gives his overview of the markets before welcoming Jim Lebenthal for a spirted discussion.
