Wealthion, Released on 5/31/23

According to today’s headlines, it’s looking increasingly likely that the economy may dodge a recession. The calls for a “soft landing” are turning into ones of “no landing at all” The same headlines tell us the markets are in great shape and will be powered higher from here by a new AI-driven profitability boom. But according to today’s guest, highly-respected economist & award-winning researcher David Rosenberg, founder & president of Rosenberg Research, the headlines are selling a false narrative. By his measure, the recession is already arriving, deflation not inflation is the bigger threat & the current market AI frenzy is a classic stock mania that will end the way all bubbles do.

David Rosenberg is the chief economist & strategist of Rosenberg Research & Associates, an economic consulting firm he established in January 2020. He received both a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts degree in economics from the University of Toronto. Prior to starting his firm, he was Gluskin Sheff’s chief economist & strategist. Mr. Rosenberg was also chief North American economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York and prior thereto, he was a senior economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns and Bank of Nova Scotia.
