Sailing in Uncharted Waters: 2023 Scenarios

Presenter: Dennis Stearns, CFP

Dennis Stearns of Stearns Financial is back to kick off 2023. He will discuss how key factors like profit margins, corporate earnings, inflation, Fed policy, labor shortages and political/geo-political events may interact during the year and beyond.

He will discuss his firm’s BIG hedging move for 2023 and which bond, stock and alternative assets have the best potential and which may be best to avoid or underweight.

Having participated in several major scenario studies of these issues on behalf of mega-organizations, Dennis will share what he can about the results of those studies on the future of stocks and bonds and other asset classes.

Dennis will discuss

• What investment dangers and opportunities await us in 2023
