- Saturday, May 18, 9:15 AM Leon Cooperman and partner Steve Einhorn keep it simple: Stocks (VTI) are cheap relative to interest rates and inflation. The guy who bought T-bills (SHY) has migrated to T-bonds (TLT), the guy who bought T-bonds has moved to investment grade corporates (LQD), the guy who bought IG is now in high-yield (HYG, JNK), and so on (glasses clink in the FOMC board room). Their largest position is Sprint Nextel (S) - as fans of Masayoshi Son and long-time owners of DISH, the duo like seeing two industry titans both wanting the same asset. New Citigroup (C) management should be able to double ROE over the next 2-3 years, and Transocean (RIG) sells for a significant discount to asset value. 4 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, May 17, 8:06 AM "Printing of money and the seeking of safe returns" have made cash (SHY) and bonds (TLT) terrible investments, says Ray Dalio (video). The same activity, on the other hand, is great for "other assets," i.e. stocks. "There will be a tightening ahead." 1 Comment
- Wednesday, May 1, 2:55 PM iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.016. 30-day SEC yield of 0.09% (as of 3/28/2013). For shareholders of record May 03. Payable May 07. Ex-div date May 01. Comment! [Dividends]
- Tuesday, April 2, 12:54 PM Active management - typically a loser with stocks - worked well in fixed income in 2012, according to SPIVA which shows 70% of active managers in intermediate government bond funds beat their bogey (AGG, BNG), with the average return more than double the benchmark. Comment!
- Monday, April 1, 5:05 PM iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.018. 30-day SEC yield of 0.12% (as of 3/28/2013). For shareholders of record Apr. 03. Payable Apr. 05. Ex-div date Apr. 01. Comment! [Dividends]
- Friday, March 8, 3:08 AM The Fed is considering abandoning its plan to eventually sell the trillions of dollars of bonds it's bought and just let them mature instead. The move would prevent the disruption of markets that might come with big sales, and it would prevent any losses if and when interest rates rise, not to mention any subsequent criticism from Capitol Hill. There might be some economic benefits too. 8 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, March 5, 10:28 AM "Cash in the developed world is a terrible asset," writes Bridgewater in its (300-page) year-end investor note. "We would be short cash of all the major currencies," in continues - hedge fund shorthand for borrowing to buy risky assets. Previous: Ray Dalio and his co-CIO have made no secret of their bullishness this year. 1 Comment
- Friday, March 1, 10:19 AM iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.018. 30-day SEC yield of 0.13%. For shareholders of record Mar. 05. Payable Mar. 07. Ex-div date Mar. 01. Comment! [Dividends]
- Thursday, February 21, 1:12 PM The long bond continues to climb, now up more than a full point since the FOMC minutes yesterday. When the Fed got hawkish in 1993 after a long period of ease, bond prices collapsed. Now they gain? It seems as good of a tell as any that the economy is not ready to handle tighter policy (see Hoisington). TLT +0.7%. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, February 19, 2:30 PM The big story of the 2013 H2 might be the Fed slowing and then ending its QE purchases, says Deutsche's Joe LaVorgna. January FOMC minutes showed growing hawkishness, and since that meeting the February jobs report posted solid gains along with big upward revisions to previous months. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, February 15, 10:00 AM "The benefits of our asset purchases may be diminishing ... they also may have some risks associated," says the Cleveland Fed's Sandra Pianalto (not a FOMC voter this year). She suggests the Fed could begin tapering asset purchases by year's end, but her prediction of 2.5% GDP growth doesn't seem to be enough to move the needle much on unemployment. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Breaking News]
- Friday, February 1, 3:34 PM Like Dan Fuss, UBS apparently believes the fixed-income rally has run its course. The company reportedly plans to inform many of its brokerage clients - most of whom believe they're sitting in conservatively structured bond portfolios - that they're being reclassified as "aggressive investors." This should make for some interesting conversations between wealth managers and clients. Comment! [Financials, U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 31, 9:10 AM Credit in the U.S. ($56T and counting) is a supernova star, says Bill Gross - its expansion produces less and less heat and ultimately causes the star to consume itself. In the 1980's, it took $4 of new credit to create another $1 of GDP; over the last decade it's taken $10, and since 2006, $20. The comparison ends there, says Gross, as inflation rather than implosion lies ahead. Shorten duration, buy TIPs, look offshore for positive real rates of return. 5 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, January 30, 3:08 PM Fixed-income is the most overbought in his 55-year career, says Dan Fuss, preparing to open a fund to U.K. investors (what a salesman). He's busy slashing duration along with exposure to emerging markets and junk bonds ("from a valuation point, ridiculous"). "For heaven's sakes, don't go out and borrow money to buy bonds right now." Comment!
- Friday, January 25, 7:08 AM More from Soros (previous): Bond investors might want to study the price action in 1994 if Soros is right in that interest rates are going to take a big leap once the economy gets moving - nothing profound there, but like 1994 it could sneak up and bite fixed income longs. Soros suggests it might already be happening and once the fog of the budget nonsense lifts, economic strength will be far clearer to see. 4 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, January 3, 3:53 PM The unexpected hawkish vibe from the Fed has the once-exciting, now subdued Eurodollar market stirring, with the Dec 14 contract off 4 points and the Dec 15 contract off 7. Currently trading at 99.00, the Dec 15 contract is pricing in a Fed Funds rate roughly 75 basis points higher than it stands today. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
