Traders and investors are just sticking their toes back in the water as I write this on Wednesday morning; Tuesday's "up" close was the first in three sessions.
The crowd, of course, is spooked by the inverted yield curve that developed late last week. From the minute the selling started, the media marched out a familiar cast of characters...

... the pundit who's predicted 12 of the last three recessions (and who's never managed a dime of capital in his life) calls for - you guessed it - another recession, due to begin at 2:04 p.m. sharp...
... and on... and on...
(Sigh.)
The truth is, you're meant to think the wheels have caught fire and fallen clean off!
But of course, we know better. And with our risk-balanced "50-40-10" approach to investing, we sleep better, too - but that's a story for another day.
