Investment Outlook

Run Turkey, Run

  • The Fed¡¯s announcement of a renewed commitment to Quantitative Easing has been well telegraphed and the market¡¯s reaction is likely to be subdued.
  • We are in a ¡°liquidity trap,¡± where interest rates or trillions in asset purchases may not stimulate borrowing or lending because consumer demand is just not there.
  • The Fed¡¯s announcement will likely signify the end of a great 30-year bull market in bonds and the necessity for bond managers and, yes, equity managers to adjust to a new environment.

They say a country gets the politicians it deserves or perhaps it deserves the politicians it gets. Whatever the order, America is next in line, and as we go to the polls in a few short days it¡¯s incumbent upon a sleepy and befuddled electorate to at least ask ourselves, ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± Democrat or Republican, Elephant or Donkey, nothing much ever seems to change. Each party has shown it can add hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt with little to show for it or move our military from one country to the next chasing phantoms instead of focusing on more serious problems back home. This isn¡¯t a choice between chocolate and vanilla folks, it¡¯s all rocky road: a few marshmallows to get you excited before the election, but with a lot of nuts to ruin the aftermath....
