02/23/2022 - Alejandro Tagliavini – NFTs or the real (and good) new normal

“Over the past week and early this week, Bitcoin (BTC) saw unstable pendulum swings, moving in a range and closing in a downtrend just like most altcoins. Factors such as geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, rising global inflation, speculation on interest rates and its supposed correlation with the US stock market are affecting its price.”

02/17/2022 - Yra Harris: Is It George Bailey or Henry Potter?

“As noted in the latest podcast with Dr. Faber, QT would be the area in which the FED WOULD DISCOVER HOW MUCH LEVERAGED EXISTED ACROSS MYRIAD ASSETS RAISING THE IDEA OF SYSTEMIC RISK AS THE OVERLEVERAGED BEGAN RAISING CASH. The FED has created a very difficult situation for itself as it confronts the global problem of inflation.”

02/09/2022 - Alejandro Tagliavini – Times of uncertainties and critical global shortages

“The markets are experiencing weeks of high volatility and most analysts highlight the «confusion» shown by many investors in relation to the future macroeconomic scenario. To begin with, because of the fact that all the restrictions “due to the pandemic” have not been lifted, the global economies, after the rebound in 2021, are still weak.”

02/04/2022 - Yra Harris: The Soft Bias of Low Expectations

“It seems the Hawkish outlook stems from a leak out of the ECB Governing Group that the meeting had experienced dissonance about the slow pace of changing monetary policy. If Lagarde is suffering the slings and errors of the hard money members look for the GOLD to gain against all fiat currencies for the issue going forward will be CENTRAL BANK CREDIBILITY. Sorry, ZERO RATES at the time of 5% headline inflation is just not monetary stridency.”

02/02/2022 - Yra Harris: Bernard Connolly Is Worth a Good Whiskey

“The FED can raise rates in a slow process but to me the key to unlocking the speculation of myriad assets is found in quantitative tightening or shrinking the balance sheet. Chairman Jerome Powell pushed off the day of embarking upon QT but many FED presidents are raising the issue: Atlanta Fed President Rafael Bostic last week raised the prospect of the central bank starting its balance sheet unwind — a QT program of $100 billion a month — by around JUNE. If the FED begins that program the unraveling of highly leveraged risk assets will elevate us all to dust off Hyman Minsky’s work. Volatility will unsheathe its sword on the global financial system. The FED fears inflation for now but wait for the systemic risk unleashed by high risk positions being unwound.”

01/25/2022 - Alejandro Tagliavini – ¿Comprar Mercado Libre o shortear a los laboratorios?

“Los mercados globales comenzaron la semana en negativo. Aunque el evento de la semana es la reunión de la Fed, lo cierto es que el consenso no espera subida de tasas al menos hasta marzo, por lo que la tensión geopolítica en Ucrania empieza a captar cada vez más la atención de los inversores.

Los analistas de Bankinter de España consideran 3 escenarios. Bueno: pacificación mediante diplomacia, con las bolsas rebotando según lo que diga la Fed el miércoles (más o menos liquidez, inflacionaria). Malo: “invasión light” y, según los daños y el tiempo en que tarde en estabilizarse la situación, serán de breves o prolongadas las caídas de las bolsas. Y, finalmente, el menos probable, el escenario pésimo, con fuerte caída de las bolsas en general.”

01/21/2022 - Jeremy Grantham: LET THE WILD RUMPUS BEGIN

“GMO has a detailed set of recommendations available that I agree with. A summary might be to avoid U.S. equities and emphasize the value stocks of emerging markets and several cheaper developed countries, most notably Japan. Speaking personally, I also like some cash for flexibility, some resources for inflation protection, as well as a little gold and silver. (Cryptocurrencies leave me increasingly feeling like the boy watching the naked emperor passing in procession. So many significant people and institutions are admiring his incredible coat, which is so technically complicated and superior that normal people simply can’t comprehend it and must take it on trust. I would not. In such situations I have learned to prefer avoidance to trust.) ”

01/21/2022 - Dr. Albert Friedberg on Inflation and the Economy – Quarterly Investment Report

“The single most important and pressing economic issue for the next few years will be inflation. Not the epidemic, not climate, not even growth but simply the accelerating rise in prices that was put into place by a succession of highly irresponsible and ignorant central bankers and blessed by irresponsible, trigger happy administration officials. Having been allowed to take root, inflation will destroy incomes and savings and decapitalize the wealth-producing sectors of the economy. Eventually, inflation will force the hand of normally timid central bankers to raise interest rates well above the rate of inflation. As the economy comes next to a screeching and painful halt, we should take to heart that the severity of the depression will be directly proportional to the debauchery that preceded it and to the unforgivable delay in taking proper measures.”

01/20/2022 - Lacy Hunt on Negative Interest Rates

When governments accelerate debt over a certain level to improve faltering economic conditions, it actually slows economic activity. While governmental action may be required for political reasons, governments would be better off to admit that traditional tools would only serve to compound existing problems. For a restless constituency calling for quick answers to economic distress and where inaction would be likened to an uncaring and insensitive attitude, this is a virtually impossible task.”

01/19/2022 - Louis-Vincent Gave on Russia, China and the U.S. Dollar

“China and Russia are the most obvious natural trade partners in the world, right? Russia produces all the commodities that China needs. And China produces all the consumer goods and the finished goods and the capital goods that Russia needs to continue industrializing. So, you know, for them to, you know, if there’s one, you know, sort of bilateral trade relationship where you can imagine that trade will continue to expand at many times the rates of GDP growth, it’s got to be that one. And so, you know, and you know, the more trade you have between two countries, usually, you know, if you’re a believer in Ricardian equivalency and Ricardian comparative advantages, then, you know, you got to look at it positively.” – Louis-Vincent Gave on MacroVoices
