SHATTERED! – BITCOIN PRICE

• U.S. setting up for best year since ’05. . .
• Global economy also picking up momentum, in large measure due to policymaking
• Job opportunities are abundant
• Corporate profitability elevated
• Consumer and business confidence has been surging. . .
• And now tax cuts, including major reductions in corporate taxes . . . What could go wrong?
• A lot can go wrong – that’s always true –first there are the Black Swan threats –cyber, contagion, conflict, Korea, EMP, trade war:
• “I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air, they fly so high, nearly reach the sky, and like my dreams, they fade and die”
• Equity markets? U.S. bond market? Commercial real estate? Bitcoin? Where are all the pretty bubbles?
• 2018 will be fine – better than fine – 2019 might be, too, but beyond that, possible deleveraging cycle prompted by a repricing of assets – Bad!!!!
