    Colton and Joel McGriff explore financial uncertainties in the market, particularly the implications of the Austrian business cycle theory. They caution that the Federal Reserve may be overusing expansionary monetary policy, potentially leading to a market crash. They critique the common tendency to resort to fear-driven financial strategies, which can limit investment opportunities and incur surrender charges.
