Do you have a good reading on this topic? You might also enjoy the comments, assuming anybody makes any. Especially people plundering their way trying to buy and sell businesses, being gaslighted by the media about the implications of what's happening.

To what extent, and for how long, do you think articles like this are going to adversely affect the buying and selling, and the pricing thereof, a small and midsize businesses, worldwide? Why?

What about YOUR investments outside the company you own or want to buy?

My opinion: let's try to get past the biased reporting on this and related issues and think about what's in it for us. Those of us involved in the buying and selling, owning and managing, small and midsize businesses.

“You can’t really watch the stock market,” the president said last month. As retirement accounts take a severe hit, it's a little late for that.

I don't know how anyone feels the same level of comfort about things today as they did even three months ago. So many potential unknown impacts to a buyer right now. - depending on specific industry of course. Seems like we haven't reached the "blood in the streets" phase yet and for me there a lot of trepidation until things become a lot clearer.

If we end up in a recession, I think there will be a lot of deals to be had from aging owners who are still fatigued from covid. We'll see soon enough.
