Honestly looking back I would've sold out if I were investing at that time. In looking at a lot of leading indicators along with the other macro factors you've just mentioned, things looked really bad. 
  
 Was a consensus reached on why we didn't go into a recession in 2016-2017? Was it just central banks around the world keeping up enough QE to keep it going?
