There are a ton of smart ppl who just can't buy high. They're hard wired this way. Their disposition won't let them. They are always bearish tech and always bullish things like oil, bc oil is tangible and always looks relatively cheap. Oil is the ultimate chicken beta play. These types may sound smart, but they will never be great--or even good--investors if they can't ever get themselves to buy a chart like this. And listening to them drone on about valuations and blame the Fed whenever reality disagrees with them is never ever going to make you any money.

I don't know what to tell you all, but when we are talking about EM distressed credit on Bloomberg TV... we are closer to the end then the beginning of the rally... the best time to buy em credit is when you get laughed out the room for bringing it up, not invited on tv...

CCC yields have more than doubled in the past 12 months. For obvious reasons. But the effect on HY issuers, CLOs, etc is increasing every day.

I had the privilege of spending 90 minutes yesterday breaking down the components of inflation in 2022 and 2023 via the modeling and insights of @fcastofthemonth If you're serious about this stuff, you should reach out to Omair

From the moving business to the storage business. In just a few short weeks. The taper has already had an impact on many parts of the mortgage market. Dealers are having a slower than normal December and bond inventory is just hanging around. It's gonna get interesting. #RMBS

... honestly with this VIX spike we should see more of a credit market reaction, I'd say.
Credit markets have not reacted... yet.

We need to have a real discussion as to whether PE returns of the last 10 years have come from underlying fundamental performance of the investments, or from an ever-increasing amount of PE capital chasing a relatively fixed opportunity set

I was a developer on the options pricing system that Rod Gancas used circa 1997-1999. One of my favorite traders to interact with, I learned a lot from him
I had Rod Gancas for a final round interview at Lehman in 2000. I had “entrusted with Top Secret clearance” on my resume. He went in Word and changed it to “encrusted.” “What the fuck!” he says. “You have a typo on your resume?” “I just wanted to see how you’d react.”
