Q & A with Michael Batnick of Animal Spirits

Tune in to hear: - Why might the narrative that “our parents’ generation had it much easier financially than we do now” be incorrect? What assumptions does it make? - When yields on a 50/50 stock and bond portfolio, yields are historically anemic right now. What are investors supposed to do in a time like this and how do we prevent them from just chasing yield and moving up the risk spectrum? - What has Michael’s personal experience with NFTs been like and how does he think about that part of the market? - Is the influx of active investment, particularly with commission free apps like Robinhood, likely to have a net positive or net negative effect on the markets and peoples’ understanding of them? - How can one temper being extremely active online with all the negative things that can come along with this?
