Will the U.S. Plunge Into a Recession After the World Series?

Philadelphia baseball doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to the economy. Is it a curse or coincidence that when the Phillies win the World Series, the U.S. economy plunges into the depths? [Outsider Club Header] Nov 07, 2022 By Alexander Boulden for the Outsider Club Will the U.S. Plunge Into a Recession After the World Series? Philly baseball doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to the economy. Just two weeks after the 1929 World Series win by the Philadelphia Athletics, the U.S. plunged into the Great Depression. In 1980, the Philadelphia Phillies won their first World Series title, but that was followed by a three-year recession that resulted in Ronald Reagan’s election. And the Phillies won one other time in 2008, but that was of course followed by a stock market crash that started the Great Recession. Is it a curse or coincidence that when the Phillies win the World Series, the U.S. economy plunges into the depths? [Phillies] It’s got superstitious baseball fans and investors alike wondering if a Phillies win this World Series will bring about another recession. But if the Astros win and we enter a recession anyway, is the curse lifted? We’ll just have to wait and see. Endless Energy Perfected at Last What you’re looking at is NOT oil, ethanol, or some crazy biofuel. But in the near future, every skyscraper, factory, truck, plane, train, bus, and boat could be powered by it. It’s so cheap and efficient it could wipe out every other conventional fuel source we use today... And hand early investors a shot at world-altering gains. [See the breakthrough for yourself here.]( Boom or Bust? As I’m writing this before the final game, I don’t know the outcome yet. But as a former resident of the City of Brotherly Love, I’ve got to root for the Phillies, even if it means another recession — which we’re already in, by the way. Plus, who doesn’t like rooting for the underdogs? The Phillies have lost the most games out of any major league baseball team, at 11,187. And the Philadelphia sports franchises are no stranger to controversy. GQ magazine voted Philadelphia sports fans the “worst” in the U.S., with Phillies fans coming in first and Eagles fans second. Most recently what comes to mind is the city having to grease the light poles with Crisco to discourage Eagles fans from climbing them after the Super Bowl win in 2018. But just this week, some Philadelphia restaurants went viral because they reportedly wouldn't serve the Astros. Mike's BBQ and Angelo's Pizzeria refused to cater for the Texas team. But it turns out they turned the team down not out of spite but because they weren't open. Seems like easy money to cater for a baseball team. And that's one benefit of hosting big games in your city. It can be a boon for the local economy. That would be good for Philly, as it's really struggled to come back from the pandemic. It was one of the cities that kept the lockdowns in place well after others lifted them, requiring masks and physical vaccine cards at some businesses. I don’t even know where my vaccine card is now, but for a long time, we all thought we’d need them around every turn. "Papers, please." Turn the Global Chip Crisis to Your Benefit TODAY The microchip shortage is causing industries to lose hundreds of billions of dollars... And it’s impacting YOU financially. The prices of everyday tech products like laptops, phones, printers, and graphics cards are as much as $350 more expensive. It’s absolutely ridiculous... But there is a silver lining. Because [I’ve uncovered a TINY, virtually unheard-of company...]( Which is at the very CENTER of America’s initiative to solve this crisis.

[Get all the details now.]( It’s interesting to see how the teams in the World Series stack up against the average economic numbers in the U.S. Here’s a small sampling of some key data. According to Wells Fargo, Philadelphia payrolls in the metro area are 0.7% below pre-pandemic levels, with the unemployment rate at 4.1%, still above the U.S. average. [unemployment] Philly had a population explosion in 2020, but that has since tapered off, with Houston outpacing Philly by a wide margin. [Population] Philly's inflation rate, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI) is slightly lower than the U.S. average of 8.2%. [CPI] So maybe that Philly cheesesteak will be a little cheaper next time you visit. The New Emperor of Energy Storage You’re looking at the future of a $3.3 trillion industry. Thanks to this groundbreaking innovation, clean energy can be fed to the power grid 24/7... Regardless of whether the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. I call it the "Newton Battery," and it crushes every other battery on the market. The Swiss and the Saudis are already using it. And grids across the globe will be using this battery before we know it. It’s all possible thanks to one tiny company’s patented tech. The best part is that 99% of investors have no idea that it just went public... [Get in on the ground floor now, before it's too late.]( Inflated Numbers We all know costs are rising across the board. Inflation is out of control. Grocery prices are double what they were just one year ago. We're getting killed at the pump. Rents are rising. We're already in a technical recession. Stocks are volatile, so it's becoming hard to get those moonshot plays that everyone seemed to be getting just two years ago. But the rich keep getting richer. How? They let their money work for them by buying high-quality dividend-paying stocks. So regardless of who wins the World Series and whether we enter a recession or not, you still need to find the best place to park your money to weather the storm. That's why I put together a presentation on my [top inflation-proof plays](. I'll even show you [exactly when I predict the market will turn around](.
