Quotes Entirely Relevant to Investing 04-05-2009

by Mr Juggles

What Mr Greenspan and Mr Bernanke have achieved is historically quite unique. They have managed to create a bubble in everything, everywhere in the world: in real estate, equities, commodities, art, worthless collectibles; even bond prices continued to rise as interest rates fell due to the loose monetary policy. Since 2007 and 2008 everything has collapsed. But government bond prices continue to rise, and went ballistic between November 2008 and December 2008, when 10- and 30-year Treasury yields collapsed. So my view would be that this was the last bubble they managed to inflate. From here on, the government bond market will fall. In other words, the trend will be for interest rates to actually go up.

    There’s gotta be some sort of award for that, I mean, inflating EVERYTHING? That sorta shit takes talent, dedication, and a likely long-only PA.

    Looks like the only market they didn’t create a bubble in is the market for Epic Fail. I’d take a really long position in Epic Fail right about now.
