Canary In The Coal Mine

Above all was this week’s banking meltdown the canary in the coalmine? We’ll talk about it in Canary-In-The-Coal-Mine-Bob Davis Podcast 1092.

Banks Fail

That is to say the meltdown of at least three banks this week sent shock waves through the financial community.

Screaming Fire

And allowed You Tube financial geeks and politicians the opportunity to scream fire in a crowded auditorium.

Cause For Concern

Certainly bank closures at any time are cause for concern.

Reasons

But there’s a reason for these developments.

Plain Language

Firstly Canary-In-The-Coal-Mine-Bob Davis Podcast 1092 is not a podcast with a bunch of statistics and language no one can understand.

Updates

Secondly I am updating some of the podcasts I did earlier this year and last on the US Economy.

Of course my personal concern has been the price of diesel fuel.

Greater Concerns About The Economy

On the other hand greater concerns about the US Economy are beginning to be top of mind.

Most importantly these concerns are not unfounded.

Inflation

To clarify the US is dealing with inflation which requires higher interest rates.

Higher Interest Rates

Subsequently we’re seeing the effects of these higher rates.

Business Not Prepared

Mainly because businesses aren’t prepared for this.

More Carnage Ahead?

As a result there will probably be more carnage.

Finally I am not going to tell listeners what they should do with their money.

In addition I am not going to predict the future.

We’ll see what happens. After that I will do updates as needed.

Won’t Predict The Future

In the same vein one of the subjects of Canary-In-The-Coal-Mine-Bob Davis Podcast 1092 is the penchant prognosticators have for predicting the future.

Politicians

And for politicians to politicize financial events they don’t necessarily understand.

History

In conclusion this is a precarious moment in history.

Pressure

Most certainly because of the weight of the moment there’s a lot of pressure on those who have to make the decisions.

Personal Hope

For example my personal hope for cheaper fuel!
