In this episode of WashingtonWise Investor, Mike is joined by Jeff Kleintop, Schwab’s chief global investment strategist, to discuss the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on economies and markets around the globe. They also look at how central banks, especially the U.S. Fed, are working to get their economies back on track, what we can learn from countries that are beginning to come through the crisis, and how emerging markets may lead the way as the world recovers from this recession. Mike also provides new details on some key elements of the third stimulus package that investors and retirees need to know and considers what we might see in a fourth package. He also explores the implications of the profound disruption of the presidential primary process and whether we could see “virtual conventions” this summer.  You can follow Jeff on Twitter @JeffreyKleintop.
