Manufacturing reports came in worse than projected. Is this the start of a recession and can the consumer turn this around?

Manufacturing reports showed the weakest numbers in 10 years. In fact numbers lower than expected due to trade issues slowing things down and presented the worst rating since June 2009. A manufacturing slowdown alone is not enough to put us into a recession; strong consumer sentiment is what we need to keep the economy going strong. Other topics include:

• What is Bond duration?
• Why even own bonds at these low rates?
• Hidden costs of owning rental properties
