From Yahoo: Two days of weakness in stocks after the Fed hinted it might
“vary the pace of asset purchases” has some folks ready to declare the bull
market over and done.
….Given this backdrop and with the economy facing myriad
headwinds from the payroll tax hike, rising gasoline prices and the pending
sequester it may come as a surprise that one notable guru is very bullish on
financial assets, at least for the near term: Nouriel Roubini.
…Actually, Roubini predicts the coming (arguably ongoing)
asset bubble is going to be “bigger than the one we had in 2003-06,” which is
somewhat shocking given the massive excesses that occurred in that era,
especially in housing and related finance.
Roubini’s rationale for “the mother of all asset bubbles,” is that
Federal Reserve is going to be even more reluctant to pull back now vs. the
prior cycle, when they executed a steady stream of 25 basis point rate hikes in
2004-2006.
