Smart Money with Keith Springer Newsletter- Did The Bond Bubble Burst?

Did The Bond Bubble Burst?bondbubble

Written by Keith Springer 6.13.13

Bill Gross, Pimco’s bond guru and Wall Street Bond King, shocked the investing world on April 29 when he announced that “The secular 30-yr bull market in bonds is over”. This statement was a catalyst for the biggest monthly loss in fixed-income securities since 2004. In May alone, all forms of bonds fell off a cliff and many treasury ETF’s and funds lost 7%, while corporates and high yield’s lost 15-20%. Even TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) got hammered, and they are designed to go when rates rise. (more…)

Smart Money with Keith Springer Newsletter- Bernanke’s Loose Threats Spook Markets

Bernanke’s Loose Threats Spook Markets   

Written by Keith Springer 5.31.13

BernankesLooseThreatInvestors have been cautious since last week’s comments by the Federal Reserve (FOMC) that the economy might be strong enough to stand on its own and further stimulus might begin to wane or even go away. Clearly this is a market addicted to Fed stimulus and QE programs, and any thought that the Fed would shut down the dollar’s printing press will most likely cause a big sell off on Wall Street.

In today’s world, good (economic) news is bad news, as it would mean that the stimulus would go away. On the other hand bad economic news is good news, because it implies that the economy needs further stimulus with the Fed leaving it in place. (more…)

Smart Money with Keith Springer Newsletter- Heads I Win, Tails You Lose

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose  

Written by Keith Springer 5.23.13 HeadsIWin

Ben Bernanke is the keeper of the coin that the Federal Reserve uses to flip when deciding policy. Since the crash, investors have been torn. On one hand, they know that the massive stimulus programs will do more harm than good for the economy in the long term. On the other hand, it has been the sugar in the cake fueling this market rally, and no one wants to give up sweets no matter how bad they are for you.

Just yesterday, Bernanke spoke to congress declaring that ending the QE programs prematurely would endanger the recovery, just as the economy remains hampered by high unemployment and government spending cuts. Naturally this was good news, causing the market to rally. However in the Fed minutes that followed, it was revealed that they could decide to scale back the pace of bond purchases at one of the “next few meetings” if the economic recovery looked set to maintain forward momentum. Is this a hint of things to come or just CYA? Only time will tell, but clearly the Fed operates on the Ralph Kramden “heads I win, tails you lose” platform. (more…)

Smart Money with Keith Springer Newsletter-Markets Dance As Bernanke “Makes It Rain”

Markets Dance As Bernanke “Makes it Rain”

Written by Keith Springer 5.16.13 BernankErAIN

Stocks continue to inch higher as investors remain stumped. This is the most hated rally in my 29 years of managing money. Nothing in the economy supports these new highs, except of course one thing: Ben Bernanke is “making it rain” (and so are his good friends at the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Japanese central bank (JCB) ). As I said last week, Ben is afraid of being lonely, and “You don’t fight the Fed chairman.”

Most investors feel the Fed will eventually have to quit printing money because they are creating hyper-inflation. The reality is that we are in a negative inflationary, otherwise known as a deflationary environment. Yesterday’s economic reports were eye-opening for many on Wall Street, although certainly not for readers of this newsletter. Factory output, manufacturing production, and industrial capacity utilization, all dropped like a rock as global demand is waning. (more…)
