Ep 92: Pump The Doom & Gloom Brakes – Reasons For Positivity In The 2023 Economy with Tony Parish, CFA®, CQF

Feb 3, 2023

It’s time for another beginning of the year update with friend of the show, Tony Parish, CFA®, CQF, the Chief Investment Officer at Alphastar Capital Management. We're grateful for his time twice each year on the podcast as he gives us a great overview of the economy and investment markets.

On this episode of Retirement Inside Out, Tony and Tom recap the economic headlines of 2022 and analyze which factors will carry over into playing a role in 2023’s economy. Will we see overtightening from the Fed? How will supply chain issues, CPI numbers, labor data and other factors impact inflation and the economy in the year ahead?

Will there be a recession, and if there is one, will it be mild?

Tony also illustrates why we need to remember proper perspective when talking about debt issues and separate the conversation into short vs. long term.

The energy is always at a high level when Tony and Tom get together, so tune in for an action packed 20 minutes of content that’ll leave you with some great takeaways on where your focus should be as you absorb the new year’s economic headlines.

Here’s some of what we’ll discuss in this episode:

  • Tony recaps 2022 and details how investors had nowhere to hide. (2:50)
  • “Let’s open the books for 2023.” All eyes will be on inflation… Is the risk of inflation declining? (7:20)
  • Tom is most curious about Tony’s opinions about the country’s debt, obligations, and the debt ceiling doomsday headlines we’ve been seeing in the media frequently lately. (12:20)
  • More than Social Security and some other foundational financial topics, Tony says what happens in housing will be very impactful to many people across the country. (16:30)
