Scott Minerd: “A Wide Range of Assets Are About to Make Large Gains”

Scott Minerd, Guggenheim Partners CIO, discusses his long-term strategy, investing for an asset bubble, the risk-on trade, and shorting Treasuries. Also, how best to implement and apply the trend, with the Fast Money traders.

From CNBC:

“The world is being flooded with liquidity,” says Minerd in a live interview on CNBC’s Fast Money. “Money is coming out of central banks around the world.” And he adds that the Federal Reserve is committed to keeping rates low for an extended period of time.

With so much liquidity chasing return, Minerd thinks a wide range of assets are about to make large gains. “Over the next 2-3 years, it’s risk on,” he says. And he’s planning to position as follows:

- Long High-Beta Equities
- Long gold and silver
- Long junk bonds
- Buy art & collectibles
- Short Treasurys

In the near term, that sounds good for your equity portfolio –but if you have a longer time horizon, Minerd also makes some troubling comments.
