We could not be more excited to bring you our first podcast of 2023! In Money Conscious Episode 13: A Raymond James Expert Shares Why This is the Time to Really Get Invested, my guest is Mike Gibbs, formerly Head of Portfolio and Technical Strategy, now Lead Portfolio Manager with Gibbs Capital Management, a division of Raymond James Investment Management. My podcast last fall with Mike was one of the most popular ones and there’s a reason for that: he’s a fabulous speaker, full of facts and so insightful about strategic thinking about the markets - where we are and where we’re likely going. You’re going to love this latest episode with Mike. 

We explore in detail many key areas such as:

• Why 2023 will likely be a transition year and that brings with it much opportunity!


• If we go into a recession this year, it will likely be a mild one because the economic factors (e.g., job market, consumers with cash) now are so different than those impacting previous deep recessions. 


• Several reasons why now is no time for investors to be complacent; it’s a time for investors to look forward.


• The kinds of questions you should be asking your advisor right now to make sure you’re set up for maximal results down the road.



Guest: 

This episode’s guest is J. Michael (“Mike”) Gibbs.
