Watching the news and keeping an eye on the markets for the last couple of weeks, I’m sure many people were feeling the same as me…panicked and more than a little anxious.  In this episode of The Wealthy Speaker Show, we are very happy to welcome back Andrew Busch, whom I refer to as “The Great Calmer Downer”.  Andy joins us to discuss the Coronavirus outbreak and provides some great insight as to what we can expect in the coming weeks. Andrew B. Busch is the former 1st Chief Market Intelligence Officer for the US government. At the CFTC, he was charged with improving and enhancing the government’s understanding of the markets.  Andy provided briefings to White House, US House, and US Senate staffers on a wide range of issues including; extreme market volatility, China’s influence on the global commodity markets and the impact of Fintech & virtual currencies on market dynamics. Listen to the podcast below: Highlights you won’t want to miss: *     Let’s gain some perspective.  2:45 *     Will the markets continue to bounce back?  5:55 *     Finding the opportunity in the face of panic.  10:35 *     Your rainy-day fund…how much is enough?  16:40 *     SARS vs Coronavirus.  19:05 *     Is the worry about the outbreak or the reaction?  25:20 Andy created and directed a new research group, Market Intelligence Branch (MIB), for the agency. As CMIO, his job was to provide objective research on the financial markets to the CFTC, SEC, US Treasury and Federal Reserve. Energy, agriculture, interest rates and technology (Bitcoin, blockchain, AI) were some of the areas of research covered by the team.
