Still in the interests of fairness, Mr Gundlach has assembled an impressive set of arguments, some of which will be familiar to readers of this blog.

First, for most workers, they at least had some income stream from CD's and bonds that has now been negated due to Fed policy. So it is equity investment or (shiver) going short if things go south. Most people I know don't like the idea of negative bets...<br />Second, it seems to me that lots of capital has been spent on buybacks and mergers rather than expansion over the last few years. To me this seems a shaky way to start a recession.<br />Third, medical care costs have been passed on to the worker, and even the young who are healthy. OK, that is US policy, but it has blunted the effect the young are having on the economy, and I wonder what they will have to spend if there is a recession in 2016.<br /><br />I have been waiting after my daily investing to have another chance at an inflection point, this time to short equities.

Just to be clear; there can be little doubt about this. <br /><br />"What seems close to indisputable, however, is that monetary policy cannot "solve" this "problem", since it's a function of good old supply and demand."<br /><br />The question is of course whether they react. The recent lurch lower certainly will make things very interesting next week, but Yellen has to move I think. <br /><br />Meanwhile on credit and equities. Well, yes, yes, and double yes. This has been a recurring theme here, and it all looks very odd. I think the explanation, for now at least, is pretty simple. Low energy prices --> boost to consumers --> boost to services/non-manufacturing --> buy everything outside commodity and energy land. Incidentally, this is the same story in the macroeconomic data, and my assumption is that the market has been trading this story. You know, FANG and all that ;). <br /><br />Now, it is of course possible to write a sequence of arrows which looks much more downbeat. Commodity unwind ---> HY energy distress ---> distress in EM ---> distress/defaults ---> bond liquidity meltdown ---> global recession. I have been of the opinion for some time that this would be how it ended ... my assumption was merely that we would get a period of reflation where at least some central banks call victory and raise rates first. Maybe not. The thing is ... if you think the cracks are now really spreading to broader financial markets, it is difficult to disagree with LB I think. Buy the long bond because Yellen won't be raising so much as she will soon be forced to think about QE4 to mop up the carnage in corporate bond markets. And the good ol' U.S. duration usually does well. As for Gundlach and Dalio ... yes yes, they're too long bonds for their own good, probably ... well, almost surely :). <br /><br />Not easy this one. <br /> <br /><br /><br />CVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843402165210120665noreply@blogger.com
