About this episode

The episode discusses market recovery and economic uncertainties with insights from special guest John Choate.

Saturday, April 18th. What a Rally We Had! This week, Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen discuss the sudden halt of Kevin Warsh’s nomination hearing and a huge recovery in the markets. We unpack soft housing data, jittery small businesses, cautious hiring, rising input costs, and a Beige Book full of uncertainty, and if the economy feels less like a recession. Special guest, and former Navy SEAL John Choate, joins the show and things he's seen overseas.
