another fascinating article - I just wish I understood it!
In the subscriber version, you quote Stanley Druckenmuller saying that market internals are the best economist he ever met, but then seem to be saying that the market internals are completely wrong.
Presumably Stanley hasn't met you.
You say that bond pricing is in la-la land, but what would you expect to see?
Assuming we are a few months away from a recession and that there is still a divergence of views, but more people are gradually switching to risk-off (i.e. bonds), then your points A-D seem to be what often happens in the stage before reality hits.
As you imply the equity market may misinterpret these signals, but which land equities are in is a different issue.
It truly is a bit different because of QT. Even if inflation normalized, the interest rate environment would stabilize, at best. In other words, liquidity is not going to be boosted any time soon -- at least until something breaks, theres a proper recession or other black swan emerges.
the bond market bottomed in October, so this is the last opportunity to load the truck up. Next thing, we should see the yield curve sloping, and that means the crash is near.
Meanwhile, and it depends on the earning results, we may see intermediate rally in tec stocks, and risky assets. EARNINGS, GDP, EMPLOYMENT need to be watched closely.
I was interested in subscribing to the Macro Compass, but I received no reply to a question submitted via your website and following that non-response, I received no reply to an email asking the same question. So until Macro Compass improves its administration function, sadly I am one that will stay clear of your products.
I emailed media@themacrocompass.com, however, I have just this minute copied and pasted my email within the website message system at themacrocompass.com website. Thank you Alf for reaching our so quickly following my comment. Regards, David
I'm amazed by the fact that so many people on the internet believe that some clowns could predict market movements or advice on complex things. Individuals paying thousands of dollars for an email are just losers.
Thanks Alf,

Quis hic locus, quae regio, quae mundi plaga?
Your comments are always funny and interesting, Roger :)
I am making progress on setting up a community section for TMC subscribers - stay tuned

Hence value investing is still king.
In this case, I would consider 4% risk-free cash yield to be king.
I guess… But for how long?
Thanks, Alf, your input is exceptional.

I think you are broadly right
Thank you Alf. I understand the format and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you again. - Chris
My pleasure, Chris!
is this a first part of a series of articles or is the rest of the article for paid subscription only?
The rest of the article is for paid subscribers.
Occasionally, I will release a full article which is free for everybody

So is this time different or…. Bit of a cryptic ending
The answer in the full article on TMC platform :)
Morning Alf
Good morning Alfonso
Hi Alf, I bought the subscription. Very happy so far. Where in the subscription tool can we submit questions to you?
This comment section was valuable, so wondering where to comment in the new tool!. Thanks!...
Hi Jose! Thanks for being a subscriber.
I am working on implementing something much better than a comment section: a live chat where we can debate views together as a community.
Give me a few months and we'll get there :)
