"We
see bubbles everywhere, and that is not to be dramatic and not to
suggest they will pop immediately. I just suggested in the bond market
with a bubble in treasuries and bubble in narrow credit spreads and
high-yield prices, that perhaps there is a significant distortion there.
Having said that, it suggests that as long as the FED and Bank of Japan
and other Central Banks keep writing checks and do not withdraw, then
the bubble can be supported as in blowing bubbles. They are blowing
bubbles. When that stops there will be repercussions...
And
today from Bill Gross, on why QE is not working as intended, and
why the Fed's channels are not only clogged but never worked as intended
in the past four years:
"Does it mean it is a good thing that
capitalism should thrive under this quantitative easing posture on the
part of central banks that distorts markets and this court's capitalism
and promotes a zombie corporations and lowers net interest margins and
destroys business model? All of that is the negative aspects of
quantitative easing. Can we live with? I do not think this will be with
us for a long time."
Isn't
it interesting that when a hedge fund manager said two days ago that he
thought stocks looked good, the market exploded higher 125 points. But
today, when billionaire investor, bond guru, and PIMCO CEO Bill Gross
explicitly says that they are seeing "bubbles everywhere", and
especially in stocks, he is ignored and the stock market is flat! This
is a textbook case of a stock market bubble as explained in the book Why
Stock Markets Crash, a very arcane book by Didier Sornette!
