After an inexcusable hiatus from the show caused by traveling, I am back with more fervor than ever. In this episode I discuss the growing asset bubble that spans across all assets. A “bond bubble” created irresponsible fiscal policy, near zero interests, carry trades, and other factors. I talk about what causes this bubble and the economic fundamentals that are bound to talk about. I also address the recent economic releases and define the concept of carry trades.
