Meanwhile, company executives sound fairly bullish on their earnings calls. Discussions of a recession have significantly dropped. It's possible that the economy is moving towards that "soft landing" that the Federal Reserve has been hoping for. A slowdown will likely reflect itself in slowing asset returns. That could mean choppy markets in the next few months, with a slight year-end rally. Investors and traders alike have opportunities for any selloff, which, like August's drop, may seem scary at first, but prove short-lived.
