Is 2022 a fair comparison to where we are now, or is this time a little bit different?
12:13
Yeah, it is, by the way, a fair question, and thank you for putting me on the spot.
12:18
So I would say this.

2022 was the exception, not the rule, when it comes to the Fed tightening interest rates.

12:29
