1453: James Altucher, The Altucher Report, COVID-19 Population Migration

When it comes to pandemics or infectious disease, population density is an issue. Jason Hartman discusses some additional property investment parameters to consider when investing. Suburban living, a uniquely American movement, has great potential for growth, both locally and worldwide. While the location might have been the way of the past, housing is the way of the future.

James Altucher joins Jason to share his viewpoints on the economy, stocks, and more specifically the stimulus. As well, listen to the seriousness of this pandemic from a New Yorker’s perspective, and what it’s like managing life in the most challenging U.S. coronavirus area.
