The ‘Big Picture’
One popular strategist has it all figured out.
Bonds and the dollar are in an "early secular bear market," raw materials an "early secular bull market" and stocks a "late secular bull market."
That's the "big picture," as painted by BofA's Michael Hartnett in the latest installment of his popular weekly "Flow Show" series.
We're not breaking new ground here, necessarily, but Hartnett's analysis is always worth highlighting from a kind of Alonzo Harris "it entertains me, that's why I read it"
Profligacy is often bandied by the people who never label tax cuts for the wealthy as part of the profligacy problem.
I didn’t understood this dynamic for the longest time, but now I get that this archetype also believes that taxes are an abomination and practically a stealing of their wealth by the government, so tax cuts for them are justified in the their worldview. Of course, it’s the same dynamic as people who demand lower prices for years and years until they are then horrified by trade deficits and globalization and the loss of domestic middle class jobs.
I figured this out when a good friend of this ilk described to me (in early 2016) why he was behind Trump, the first example of the ‘problem’ he ticked off was NAFTA. Funny thing….. in college (1990ish) I organized against NAFTA while he shrugged his shoulders.
Thank you, Mr. Bernstein, for the clear and lucid explanation.
You can’t let people actually know it’s all made up. You would have nothing to write about if they did. lol
Also, how would they control the masses if people figure this out?
Jesus — that came off like an SNL sketch. Has anyone checked with Nathan Thurm for his explanation?
Well this is disturbing.
We might need to get Biden to explain it to him
Is this real? The only place I can find it online is TikTok, from a pro-Palestinian site — they only seem to have posted it there because it makes someone with a classically Jewish name seem like an idiot… if it’s real and not AI generated.
Yes, it’s absolutely real. It’s from “Finding The Money,” the Stephanie Kelton documentary that’s won all kinds of awards during its limited release, and came out today across all streaming platforms for US viewers. You can buy it right now on iTunes movies and watch it yourself. And here’s Stephanie retweeting it: https://twitter.com/FindingMoneyDoc/status/1786050601236779078

Thanks… hence why it’s hard to find with search engines, it’s too damn new!
H-Man, the Bernstein interview is even more scary when you consider this is the guy who advises the President on economic issues.
Good grief. Somebody send that guy to get some ice cream or something. That is a Trump campaign spot.
That video is precious.
“What a Day”.
…And this is why people like Don the Con can BS people into believing whatever they want them to… Come on people (i.e., the “experts”) – get a F*ing handle on it!
