They explain why the negative GDP number doesn’t mean the U.S. is in a recession, diving into the components of growth and what really caused the drop. They also explore the “Sell in May and Go Away” investing cliché, showing why seasonality isn’t always a reliable guide and why a diversified, informed strategy is more important than ever.
