Kyle Bass: The Fed Has Made “Stocks Only Game In Town” So The “Rich Will Get Richer”

Having previously exposed the world to the “nominal stock market cheerleaders,” it is clear that Kyle Bass sees things as only having got worse among developed nations. In fact, the following interview shows that he does not fear US losing its credibility since “developed western economies with the largest debt loads are all in the same boat.” The discussion expands from the debt ceiling debacle to bonds and stocks, “given the lack of nominal yield in the bond market, all of the new money is going to continue into stocks. The interesting thing is it’s going to make the rich people richer and the middle and lower class won’t be any better off, which is the opposite of what the administration is trying to pull off,” adding that being in stocks “is not your choice,” thanks to Fed repression and that deficit contraction is all that can stop the Fed now.
As Bass warned previously,
he caveats that nominally bullish statement with a critical point, “Zimbabwe’s stock market was the best performer this decade – but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs” as purchasing power is crushed. Investors, he says, are “too focused on nominal prices” as the rate of growth of the monetary base is destroying true wealth.  (more)
