In this Mid-Quarter Roundtable Adam, Chris, Jason, and Kyle recap where we are at for 2022 so far, including inflation data, lower stocks, and lower bonds with rising interest rates. The team wraps up with where they see things going by the end of the year(-ish).  Along the way, they address common questions clients are asking right now, including: Should we be doing anything? Are we doing anything? Is the market going to collapse? Am I going to zero? Is it time to go to cash? What if...? scenarios. (Probabilities vs. Possibilities) Why are my bonds down? Is it time to go to annuities?
