November 08 - Christopher Sheldon
Christopher Sheldon, Director of Investment Strategy, BNY Mellon Wealth
Management spoke to the members on the current market conditions and how we
got there. He also provided his assessment of the current situation vis-a-vis other
recessions, which lead to his estimate of where we are in this recession, and what
some of the future indicators might be. He believed that conditions will continue to
deteriorate, painfully, and that the bottom may be reached within the next six
months, with a longer recovery time than in other recessions. He provided his
opinion on buying and selling of stocks at this point. A lively Q & A followed.
