Quotes

[03:51] - “There is really no rule of thumb in markets. If you think about it, do you really think that the collective knowledge of the millions and millions of investors that are participating in markets are not aware that we're in a rate hiking cycle now, or at least entering one? There's just so much going on in the markets beyond just one of these particular narratives that drive prices.” - Doug Stokes
