Worsening Wealth Gap To Trigger A Class War? | Peter Atwater

There’s an old saying in investing: The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Why is that?

He’s out with a brand new book, The Confidence Map: Charting a Path from Chaos to Clarity, that shares a groundbreaking framework for making better decisions — in investing and in life in general — by understanding – and mastering – confidence.

We’ll also ask him what his key confidence indicators are telling him about the prospects for the rest of 2023.
