If you scroll through previous posts, you will I am a big fan of hedge
fund manager, Kyle Bass. In fact, once I even called him a man crush.
The reason is he is able to take the 30,000 foot view. He isn’t the
typical pundit-clown you see on financial news extrapolating one data
point to push his or her investment view. Of course, I may like him
because my view coincides with his. Psychologists call this confirmation
bias where we tend to identify with like minded folks. It can be
dangerous if ignore other well reasoned, but contrary, points of view.
However, as I continually read and challenge myself, this is the
viewpoint I see as most plausible. Timing is impossible, but the overall
trend will probably play out. If you believe that thirteen bankers
behind closed doors can devise plans to magically negate any debt build
up, then this view will be contrary to your thinking. This is certainly
worth a few minutes of your time.
