Episode 19 - Over Stocked & Under Sold: A Tale of the US Shopper and the Global Economy
Published On: Jun 8, 2017If you want to predict the path of the global economy, you best have a pulse on the US consumer. At 70% of the US economy, consumer spending is in the economic driver seat.

In ‘Things I Got Wrong’, we speak with Jerry Haworth, CEO of 36 South Capital Advisors, about what he got wrong shorting the Nasdaq in 1998.
