A New York Times survey found that 63% of physicians showed objective symptoms of burnout and 70% were unsatisfied with their work-life balance. It’s not hard to deduce why. Even doctors that were nowhere near the ICUs or emergency rooms had to deal with strict health protocols. Besides added stress in a strange and unknown new world, they had to face their patients’ stress and often became punching bags for their frustrations. Long hours no doubt affected their family lives, and the experience has left many doctors with post-traumatic stress disorder! It’s not just doctors.

In this week’s video, I answer several of your questions ranging from Federal Reserve-backed cryptocurrency and buying puts to the real-life implementation of lithium batteries in an off-the-grid wildlife community in Mexico. I share how I see our Green Zone Fortunes portfolio adapting to a recession that could come as early as January 2023 — if it isn’t here already. I also explain why, despite being down since I recommended it, I don’t believe there is any cause for worry for Enterprise Product Partners (NYSE: EPD) even while the market circles the drain. A reader wrote in asking about buying puts in a down market. My answer to his question may help you understand why I am not a fan.

Bear markets don’t make investors money. Bull markets do. That’s why every Joe and his uncle can’t wait for the next bull market to begin. I’m right there with them … with you, that is! So even though I’m planning on a “longer and lower” bear market scenario … I’m also keeping an open mind to the possibility that the end of the bear market is coming sooner than later. My team and I remain committed to following our process regardless.

We’re still in a bear market after recent rallies petered out. The S&P 500 is back to 20% off its January highs. The most optimistic of bullish investors are already calling the bear market over. They expect new highs by early next year, if not sooner. But the base-case scenario I’ve been planning for is a “longer and lower” march down. I’m not a pessimist. I consider myself a cautious optimist … but numbers don’t lie. A majority of the price trends across global markets are pointing down.
