What is the definition of a recession, there r different types of recession
My generic definition would be an economic period of low consumer demand that both drives down the cost of goods and services as well as company profits. This period would cause employers to scale back wages and benefits as well as capital investments into their existing operations. Prolonged recession would cause high unemployment, mortgage defaults and bankruptcies.

Simple interest savings rates in 1971 were north of 8% and steadily grew throughout the decade, hitting 14.5% a couple times. Why would anyone invest in the market with those kind of savings returns. If I were getting 10% annual return on investment outside the stock market, I would never trade another stock. Dividends helped the 70s investor, but not enough to make the market grow.

whats going to be interesting is to see how this affects the door dash type business model.

do more people order at home to avoid the high cost of gas and to avoid the higher cost of eating out.
And how much are they going to have to charge to make a good profit with record high gas prices.

People might not even have the money for doordash.

My wife and I have a tiny stake in Eat Street. The brain child of a couple UW Madison students who approached our Private Equity Group back in 2012 looking for guidance and some start up financing. I think our group was one of dozens of investors at that time.
