I’ve still written about asset protection from time to time on the blog, and I talk about it all the time because the docs are so interested in it. It’s in the WCI Online

What is a recession? The economic concepts explained. What causes and happens during one.

Inflation has slowed down and gross domestic product has revived, but most economists still expect a mild recession this year.

In December, consumer prices rose 6.5% from a year earlier but that was down from a 40-year high of 9.1% in June. Core prices, which exclude volatile food and energy items, rose 5.7% annually, according to the Labor Department’s consumer price index.

Another CPI report is due out Tuesday and is expected to offer key insights on the state of the economy.

Meanwhile, GDP, or the value of all goods and services produced in the US, increased by 2.6% in the quarter that ended Sept. 30, after dropping at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first three months of the year and 0.6% in the second three, according to the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis.
