I looked up yield inversions, read up on past instances, about the delay that seems to happen between inversion and market impact. But from someone that has only been active financially since AFTER the last market inversion, I'm not sure what the impact for normal people working a kinda shit job with a 401k. Like sure, I read that lots of people lost their everything, including their jobs, during 2001 and 2008/9, but when I asked a few people I know that lost 'everything' they were basically invested in single stock portfolios (ESPP) or did weird things to their 401k, or just sold everything at the bottom, or in the case of 2001 were either working for or investing in the dotcom bubble companies. Also assuming you aren't a Hedge Fund or work for one.
TLDR: So what happens to normal people with "balanced" options in their 401k's or IRA's and aren't 100% invested in their own company stock (ESPP) during and after a yield curve inversion?
