Northwestern Mutual's Schutte: Economic data doesn't matter now, but will again soon

Brent Schutte of Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management says that the viral economy is, effectively, a four-step process that we are half-way through, with re-opening the economy and creating a vaccine for coronavirus the next steps. Meanwhile, he notes that upcoming bad economic news is easy to overlook because 'we cause the economic data to be bad,' but it will be watched carefully -- and be important to investors -- as Americans go back to work and the long-lasting impacts of the shutdown are realized. In the Market Call, Mark Yusko of Morgan Creek Asset Management says that 'The world is very delicate right now, and patience will be rewarded for investors,' noting that he is looking tactically at gold, cash, master limited partnerships and more as buying opportunities. Also on the show, JJ Kinahan of TD Ameritrade talks about his firm's Investor Movement Index, which shows that individuals have mostly done the right thing in this slowdown by not throwing away long-held strategies to avoid short-term pain.
