Q&A #166
Does the long end always steepen when the Fed cuts? And will the curve steepen as nominal rates decline? Are there lessons from the 1930s on tariffs relevant to trade wars of today? If rising rates created strain for the financial world, will falling rates lead to the same or similar? What’s with gold? Who is Jeff’s ideal Fed Chair? Is it crazy to be tempted to buy gilts here? What’s Jeff’s source for swaps and spread information? Where is silver over the next 30 days? Is the HH Survey the most important data on employment? If Jeff was to talk to Ron Paul, how would he explain to Paul what he gets wrong about the Fed, money printing, etc.? Are stock buybacks cause or effect? Why wouldn’t Japan trade T-bills for gold?
