Even Greenspan is Warning the “Party is Over”

December 18, 2018

“It would be very surprising to see the market stabilize and take off again from here. What’ happening now is there is a pronounced rise in real long-term interest rates. If you look through history compared to the past 15-20 years that is the key factor that brings the stock market down. Long-term rates are going to rise. We’re moving towards stagflation. That is a toxic mix.”

When asked about leverage, he replied, “leverage is average. The leverage that occurs in the context of a toxic asset is a problem.”

The Fed is set to convene its interest-rate setting committee next Tuesday and Wednesday. Investors will closely parse their guidance on the potential for a 4th hike this year as well as any insights into 2019.


When Greenspan, who became famous (or some say infamous) for coining the term “the fed put,” comes clean with a bearish outlook, you know things are dicey!
