Bloomberg Radio
Apologies. I should have put this out earlier, but I will be on Bloomberg Radio Wednesday between 8:15AM and 8:45AM Eastern. I will see if I can’t get a transcript or a recording. For those that can listen live, here is the link. One thing I enjoy about my present employer is that they like my blog, getting quoted in magazines, and being on radio and television. It builds the business.
I’ll be talking about current economic conditions. I hope to give a nuanced view that doesn’t jump around with every monthly data point.

I happened to be listening, had no idea it was you until afterwards, and thought you had some good quotes in there. (”Hey, I read that guy’s blog!” I told my girlfriend). I especially liked the “asset deflation vs. general inflation” part.
You say you’re not necessarily calling for a recession, but I can’t see how the consumer can keep going in this environment. I was at the movies this weekend - absolutely dead. The mall was the same. That only speaks for one part of the economy, but what’s going to keep propping it up? And what’s your take on the way bonds are priced (more risk averse) vs the way equities are priced (less risk averse)?
As always, thanks!

Congratulations.
And if I may most humbly offer a word of warning, beware spreading yourself too thin. I’ve seen it happen to a lot of folks; IMO, most notably JJC (undeniably an Atlas among men, but even he has his limits… says I who dropped my ActionAlerts sub a few years ago). Also, often one won’t know when the limit has been exceed until it’s too late… a variation of the old Peter Principle.
OK, a long way of saying please keep the blog priority one. Well, maybe not one. But, you know, ahead of those other media things.
