John Mauldin: Thoughts on the Statistical Recovery

Below is the latest from John Mauldin via his weekly newsletter. John expects a double dip recession as I do. Here he talks about what I call structurally high private sector unemployment i.e. unemployment in the private sector that cannot be diminished in the medium-term without some serious government action.  As usual, I stress the

John Mauldin: “Nobody’s holding a gun to your head” on stocks

John Mauldin believes we have just seen a pretty amazing trading rally aka cyclical bull/bear market rally. Stocks are more than 60% above March lows.  But many stocks are at “nosebleed” valuation levels and that makes him suspect this is not an opportune entry point for stock market investors. He counsels utilities (like Bill Gross)

John Hussman on Reckless Myopia

Below is another great article from John Mauldin via his weekly newsletter, this time featuring John Hussman who is talking double dip and depression. My last post shows I am very concerned about this scenario – which I see as likely – and the parallels to 1930. At this point, I don’t see a lot

Slow long-term growth, and government’s response

This entry from Gary Shilling comes via John Mauldin’s site InvestorInsight.com where he highlights commentary from some of the best economic thinkers. Shilling, who correctly predicted problems in residential real estate in the US, is in the deflation camp.  He thinks the US will be a slow growing economy prone to recession and high unemployment

Partial recovery will mean new lows for stocks

Rosenberg: Market rally is just multiple expansion

David Rosenberg is out with a bearish piece on equities today (I hop that doesn’t surprise you).  He sees the market as still overvalued at these levels. The key, he say is that most of the rally has been built on multiple expansion and not earnings growth. Here is what he says (emphasis added) We
