The US election happened on Nov 3rd, but a new president has not been conclusively chosen. The counting continues. Biden looks to be poised on the precipice of victory. Trump has declared himself the winner and is launching legal challenges to the counting of ballots and the mail-in process. Civil unrest is hovering in the wings. How to make sense of this?
ELO is pleased to announce that Jerry Bowyer, an American economic advisor, author and broadcast personality, will be a session presenter at all three ELO Forums Online on Nov 9th (Winnipeg), Nov 16th (Vancouver) and Nov 23rd (Toronto). Jerry will be speaking on the topic of “Rethinking the Economy: Making Sense of the Markets.”
The session with Jerry Bowyer will be hosted by Richard (Rick) J. Goossen, Chairman, ELO Group, who will pose questions and include questions from the global audience.
Here are ten questions Jerry will address (time permitting):
- The US election just happened—what do you see as the immediate and longer-term consequences?
- Who got election predictions right/wrong? Why?
- What is the future of Trumpism?
- As you look through the lens of economics, what do you think God is doing in the world now?
- Tell us how you think about economic data, and how you use it.
- What piece of economic data do you use which people probably don’t know about?
- What does that data tell us that conventional approaches miss?
- What are stock markets telling us?
- What are bond markets telling us?
- What are commodity markets telling us?
