US Housing Market - All Foreclosures, All Subprime, All the Time
At the risk of being all subprime, all the time, this week we look at what I think are the real risks for the economy as a result of the subprime debacle. How can one side say it is a contained risk (and in one sense it is) and not a problem for the economy while another side says it will drag the US into a recession and thus be a drag on the world economy? The answers will give us a handle on the whole issue, as we look at how the problem developed.
But first, let me correct an error. Last Monday in my Outside the Box, we used a brilliant piece of work from Dr. Woody Brock on why we need more derivatives and that the real problem in the derivatives market is not the size of the market. If you did not read it, you should.
You can read it at www.2000wave.com/otb.asp?otbid=490 . I forgot to mention Woody's website, which is www.SEDinc.com . There is a lot of useful thinking there as sample material. I serve on an advisory board for an investment firm in Europe with Woody and have gotten to know his work through them. His research is some of the more cutting-edge and thoughtful that I read, and I encourage my institutional and larger-firm readers to look at his work. I think you will be glad you did.
Woody will be just one of the speakers at my Strategic Investment Conference in La Jolla next month (April 19-21), and he is as entertaining as he is insightful. I am also very excited to announce that Paul McCulley of Pimco fame has said he can attend. Paul is simply one of the best speakers on the economy anywhere. That gives us what I think is one of the strongest line-ups of speakers at any conference in the country this year.
In addition to the above worthies, we have Louis-Vincent Gave, Rob Arnott, George Friedman, Dennis Gartman, Richard Russell and, of course, your humble analyst. Where else do you get to rub shoulders with such a powerhouse group, as well as listen to a select group of private fund managers from around the world? There will be plenty of time to meet them at breaks and dinners.
Sadly, because of securities regulations, we have to limit attendance to institutions and investors worth over $2,000,000. The conference is almost at capacity. My co-hosts, Altegris Investments, have done a great deal of work to insure that this is our best conference ever. To learn more, or to sign up, you can go to https://hedge-fund-conference.com/invitation.aspx . If you have any problems, let me know.
And now, let's look at where the risk is in the mortgage and housing markets.
All Subprime, All the Time
