Brusuelas sees generational growth ahead for the economy

Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist for RSM, says the economy will boom in the next year or two in ways 'you haven't seen since the late Reagan Administration.' But even though the economy will fire on all cylinders, he says it will not return to the pre-pandemic status quo, with 'permanent economic scarring' in some sectors and in employment that could last for many years. Also on the show, Patrick O'Hare, chief market analyst for Briefing.com, says that he expects the stock market to be on solid ground moving forward, but he warned that investors should expect returns that are below historic levels as the market slows to allow the economy to catch up. In Left Brain Thinking, Brian Dress, director of research at Left Brain Investment Research, discusses the high-yield bond market and how yield-driven investors need to include high-dividend stocks and business-development companies in their search for income.
