To coin a phrase made famous by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II,
2020 has been our "annus horribilis."
David Edwards sat down with Buff Parham to answer questions from our clients:
Pandemic: how do you see the population getting vaccinated over time and how do you see the economy rebounding as a result?
None of us will forget 2020 anytime soon...truly a tumultuous year. In your opinion, what is the single most important takeaway that we should contemplate going forward?
What do you see happening with inflation, economic growth and bond yields next year?
What is your outlook for the price of oil? What do you think about renewable energy?
What industry sectors do you see as recovering early and which ones later? How do you see vulnerable ones, such as travel, hospitality, entertainment, retail, restaurants and real estate on the spectrum of recovery?
What long term changes do you see in the economy as a result of the pandemic that could be positive?
What about Tesla, Air BNB, Door-Dash, even Bitcoin? Those stocks are all up huge this year- should we buy into those?
Given all that we've been through this past year, what advice would you offer to a recent college graduate as he/she begins to chart their career in this new environment?
What is your surprise prediction for 2021?
