Bragging rights - Joanne Tan predicted a year ago there won’t be a recession:

In this?blog dated August, 2022:?“Recession? WHAT Recession?” Joanne explained why inflation needed to be controlled, but we needn’t worry about a recession.

She was right! Haha!

Last week, the?Federal Reserve confirmed it: There will not be a recession in the US in the foreseeable future.

(If you want to hear Joanne’s predictions about other things such as the next US Presidential Election in 2024, just email her. Hint: Trump will not win, duh…)
