Show Notes:
On the Pandemic:
-
- “On the pandemic, how concerned are you on a scale of 1-10?“
- Damian: (NOW) – 6/7. We’re navigating our daily lives, but there’s still something sitting out there… (MARCH) – 1, for my family’s safety.
- Pete: (NOW) – About an 8, trending towards 9. (MARCH) – I was a 6.
- “On the pandemic, how concerned are you on a scale of 1-10?“
On the Market:
-
- “On the market, 1 = no concern, 10 = freaking out?“
- Damian: (NOW) – 2. We’ve been through lots of traumatic stuff over the last 100 years, but things keep steamrolling on. (MARCH) – 1.
- Pete: (NOW) – 1 on a long-term view, 2 on short-term view. (MARCH) – 1.
- “On the market, 1 = no concern, 10 = freaking out?“
On the Economy:
-
- “On the economy, where are you on the US economy?“
- Damian: (NOW) – About a 7. We’ve talked about a number of challenges coming (election, evictions, virus ramping back up) so sI’m a little afraid of getting into an open-close cycle in the next 3-12 months… (MARCH) – 3-5, with the information we had.
- Pete: (NOW) – About an 8 or 9. For the same reasons, maybe a hair stronger though. (MARCH) – I was more concerned about the economy than the pandemic, back then.
- “On the economy, where are you on the US economy?“
