Thanks to All Our Clients!
This week, the MWM team hosted our 2022 annual client conference. It was a wonderful experience for the team. Deep gratitude goes out to all our clients. For this author, it was an absolute pleasure to meet all in attendance.
With presentations during the day and a dinner party Friday night, time has been elusive. As a result, HAI will include only an update on price action for the week. For content, please see Doug Noland’s Credit Bubble Bulletin. Many thanks!
