The USA’s status as a global super-power is under the microscope and Teaminvest Private Group (ASX:TIP) CEO Andrew Coleman identifies where to invest as USA’s economic power wanes:

📉 Recession reality: TIP believes the US recession is no longer looming; it`s arrived and says "Liberation Day" may go down as the moment things truly unraveled.

🛠️ People and productivity: Since the 16th century, growth has come from more workers or more output per worker and TIP says shrinking the workforce and blocking innovation breaks that math.

🌪️ Defying economic gravity: TIP warns policies that ignore fundamentals might seem bold, but gravity doesn’t care if you believe in it, it happens.
