Paul Gruenwald, chief economist at SP Global Ratings, expects to see impressive growth numbers, but he doesn't find them exciting because the economy still has a significant hole to climb out of, and that the resurgent virus, trouble with stimulus and more are standing in the way of what should be a more-exciting recovery over the next few years. In another interview on the show, Esty Dwek, head of global market strategy for Natixis Investment Managers, agrees with a number of Gruenwald's points; she also notes that the comparative numbers are weird, but says that she expects the economy to get back to pre-pandemic, 2019 economic numbers, with the key issue being whether it happens before the end of 2022. This show also features Greg McBride of Bankrate.com on the site's landmark checking-account survey,. and Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com making an online-retail specialty fund his ETF of the Week.
