6 months through 2025, hopefully the market has hit its lowest point in this recession. Do we think things will start picking up going into the last half of 2025? I’m feeling hopeful!

It hasn’t just been this year. The last 5 years have been super weird. Covid, then a giant uptick in work, then a slump. The slump does feel like it’s at a low point now. Several things have to happen to break out of the slump. We won’t get back to the 2021 style feast, but somewhere in the middle would be nice
