There is an old Wall Street maxim that “the Fed raises rates until they break something”. The past week’s headlines confirm that it is an adage that continues to stand the test of time. After all, in the twelve months since the Fed started tightening monetary policy, we have witnessed one of the worst global […]
The Jeremiah Project is a national organization with a mission to disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Well, not so much “bears”, at least for the time being. The turn of the calendar to the year 2023 seems to have brought with it the return of animal spirits, and appears to, at least temporarily, have turned equity market leadership on its head.
