The Startling Consequences of Monetary Policy (w/ Stephanie Pomboy)

Transcript:
For the full transcript visit: rvtv.io/2IfQ7LO
STEPHANIE POMBOY: If this is the underfunding situation now, when we're arguably at the peak
of economic and financial activity, what is it going to look like when, heaven forbid, the market
actually sustains a downturn? It's remarkable, the complacency around the corporate sector's
ability to service all of this debt. It's going to take people a while to wrap their heads around the
size, the sheer magnitude, of money printing that's going to be required.
GRANT WILLIAMS: Yeah.
I'm about to have a long overdue conversation with my dear friend, Stephanie Pomboy. I've been
trying to get her to come back on Real Vision for a long, long time, and she has resisted for
reasons best known to herself. But there's a whole bunch of stuff we want to talk about. I'm going
to ask her why she resisted, and she's going to blame me. But don't believe her.
The Fed, corporate bond markets, junk bonds, equities, there's so much going on. And Steph does
some of the best work out there on all of it, much to her chagrin. She's going to hate me saying
that. So let's go and sit and talk to Steph.
Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here.
STEPHANIE POMBOY: Here we are.
GRANT WILLIAMS: Here we are again. Now this has taken a long, long time. Personally, I blame
your almost pathologically misplaced modesty. You're probably going to blame me.
STEPHANIE POMBOY: No.
GRANT WILLIAMS: But--
STEPHANIE POMBOY: There's no blame whatsoever.
GRANT WILLIAMS: But we're here. We're here, finally.
STEPHANIE POMBOY: We made it.
GRANT WILLIAMS: Steph Pomboy, welcome back to Real Vision.
STEPHANIE POMBOY: Pleasure to be here.
GRANT WILLIAMS: It's been far too long. So, so much to talk about. And as you and I tend to do
we get together, we have to start with the Fed, right? It seems the logical place to start because
from the mails or the Fed, all sorts of things tumble out. So I've got to ask you, what do you make
of Powell's flip-flop? How important is it? Or are we wasting our time worrying about it?

All the same faces from 2010ish are showing back up, talking about gold and subtly hinting, or directly speaking of, future monetary doom. Why do Grant's convo's seemingly always include dire scenarios? - "Startling Consequences" ...There's the way you wish the world worked, and then there's the way the world actually works. Fiat money stinks, I agree. Is it really "startling". - No. ...Have 5% of your portfolio in gold, and stop listening to worse-case-scenario-Grant, and ppl of his ilk. It may happen, it probably won't. No electricity - highly unlikely. ...Don't plan you life for the worst case scenario, because you will not outsmart the market or the odds. Watch hedgeye for real investment advice, so you can make money in an up or down economy.

Wait, let me get this straight. They talk about capitalism vs socialism as if these are two competing economic systems, MMT as if it will only be present if a socialist like Bernie is in power when in fact its happening now, and AOC as having "fanciful" notions then in the next breath worry about harming the "Animal Spirits"? Maybe I've be smoking to much over taxed Mary Jane , but I must be missing something. As for pensions, it is my understanding that workers that pay into a pension system, accept a lower pay throughout their career in exchange for a longer payout after they retire. And you casually talk about cutting benefits in half because the Federal Reserve inflated their money away, and then blame the states [fund managers] for exposing these funds to a captive market? Look, everyone understands that free markets work better than central planning. If you understand that get the Fed out of the way. I'll stop now :-) Rich People...

Back in the old days, when I worked on the buyside, I loved chatting with Stephanie. Back then she worked with Ed Hyman and Nancy Lazar. It was the greatest econ team on the Street.

[@UltimateBargains]

"It may look like a crisis, but it's only the end of an illusion." -- Gerald Weinberg

[@mettaphysicist93]

I really enjoyed this macro discussion with Stephanie. There were a couple of points that I would have liked Stephanie to be pressed on more. One was her comment that deregulation as a "good" thing is a universal truth. There are too many examples from ozone depletion to Flint that put the lie to that thesis. Deregulation as a business benefit truism is a last century that assumes we live in an open universe, and that we are not just defecating all over our own little petri dish that is Earth. It is a micro argument that excludes the macro consequences. And similarly, with her comment on the tax break (for the 1%) as being good for the economy. Apart from it benefiting only the rich, the research I have seen, pointed to no lasting economic benefit, other than a wealth transfer exercise that only increased the national debt burden. The other macro thing missing from the discussion was the issue of climate change. Ignoring the other non-dollar macro effects of climate change such as ecocide, its financial implications alone are greater than any pension under-funding. In isolation, the various threats are terrifying. Taken together the combined threatens are beyond terrifying. When such massive events resonate and synchronize they lead to freak waves. And we have a black swan creator sitting in the White House. While the possible event that ignites crisis may may be unknowable, the fundamental ingredients are being mixed together in such a determined fashion, that the probability of an ignition event in the near term seems close to 1. One other thing missing in this enjoyable macro discussion is ethics. If we have people making macro decisions (e.g. tax cuts, deregulation, etc) for the basest of reasons, surely there must come a time when it is not merely a discussion about capitalism is good, socialism is bad, to move to a more mature and nuanced view that places ethics as a cornerstone of any balanced macro discussion. This false dichotomy between capitalism and socialism is getting a bit stale and soggy. I am less concerned about MMT than you. I see the people making those arguments as reasonably intelligent who actually appear to care for people. Also it is a little too late, the Fed has basically blown up the financial foundations of the economy, with its policies. Pouring gasoline (MMT) on the existing raging fire does not seem like a problem worth worrying about in the scheme of things. Events will soon overtake MMT as a solution to anything. And macro economic discussion with respect to the USA should perhaps dive more deeply into the need for a war. We hear the familiar drumbeat echoes of Tonkin in Hormuz. Surely, it is too enticing for a narcissist-in-chief, that gets badly behind in the polls, with a tanking stock market. More trillions into debt. Another macro omission is the exclusion of human suffering in discussion of a macro economic policy that is so based on violence. In my own self interest, I am overweight and long gold too. I am also a bit of an atheist too when it comes to cryptos, for I ask myself which crypto should I believe in? As for BTC, the power consumption requirements of the mining operations are ridiculous. And I worry that technological advance (with Quantum Computing only one such threat) will at some point breach BTC defenses. Anyway my two cents worth.

Once price discovery returns to the economy things will get very ugly very quickly. The future of fiat currency is very bleak. Mass money printing is not the path to anything but disaster. Its too bad the central banks have not learnt from history.... or maybe the have decided to ignore history for the perceived short term benefits of debased fiat currency to enrich the few.

[@frankySR21]

I’m not sure why she said she likes China when their situation is just as precarious as ours if not more so. They also have aging populations, staggering corporate and national/local government debts, and a very real reliance on exports to developed markets that are all heading to crisis if not collapse. I’m not sure how China steers its way out of this. If anyone else knows, I’d love to hear it.

It's because she's not Chinese. Just like Home Depot in China, they were loving the housing market... until they realized Chinese people had a totally different set of aspirations from Americans.

[@kevinautogardens8763]

Not sure , but some guesses : much of their debt is going to infrastructure, building the silk road and borrowing their borrowed money to other countries( and taking over whenthey default ) to build infrastructure such as ports in resource rich parts of africa, the fact that they are taking over the tech sector ( way ahead in 5g etc , partly because they have a manufacturing base where innovation comes from the floor ). Because they have been heavily buying gold for 10+ years ,. Because their middle class has quadrupled and regardless of what is stated, they are a much bigger consumer economy , buying more food , cars , houses , electronics and stuff.

What is most striking is her tone of voice, the fact that she is almost giggling out of embarrassment the entire interview, when she is describing the extent of the debt.

[@jamespatrick5348]

Stephanie is spot on about bitcoin. A lot of people push bitcoin as an alternative to gold, but they are missing a key difference between the two that makes it a bad comparison. First, bitcoin is great at transferring money while doing currency conversions (and taking a 1% off the top instead of 3%) so when used to transfer money, it definitely has value. However, unlike bitcoin, gold has intrinsic value so a 1 ounce nugget will buy you a nice suit today or hundreds of years ago. Alexander Hamilton knew this, and when he was trying to peg gold to the dollar his problem was that if he got it wrong people would cash in their dollars for gold or they would be too much conversion of gold to dollars (inflation). This problem exists because of the inherit value of gold - I don't think anybody really understands exactly why people associate a value to gold, but this seems to be true. Now bitcoin, however, has no inherit value and you can do the same money transfers if bitcoin was a penny or a million dollars and it would transfer money exactly the same way. So investing in bitcoin is probably worse than investing in tulips because at least tulips are beautiful and fragrant.

The bitcoin logo makes it appear like gold on the screen so maybe it's like fool's gold. Maybe the CIA or some other country created bitcoin to get more people to stop buying so much real gold.

I remember articles from the 1980s-1990s saying that pensions were underfunded and doomed to fail. These articles also suggested that if you did have a pension, that you should take your entire allotment out early, if you could before it inevitably failed. This isn't a new failing. The next thing to fail is the U.S. medical system, which is approaching double the cost of much better international systems. It's at 17.7% of GDP. We all know it's failing, but our leadership in government will do nothing to upset the current established $$$ status quo.

[@algorhythm4593]

Laurent Drozin You're kind of saying the same thing as she, just vice-versa...if the "value" of those obligations goes down, then correspondingly, so does the "value" the creditor places on the debtor's form of remittance.

I was watching a program the other night and I can't recall who it was but they said "It looks like something has already blown up and is getting monetized." I couldn't agree more and the longer this goes on the more likely that something(s) are being done covertly behind the scenes because they are all out of transparent solutions. And, they have to do it covertly because openly admitting to monetizing debt would cause the world to understand the emperor has no clothes and right quick. All the actions I have seen in the past 6 months wreaks of desperation.

The banks use "paper gold and silver, GLD and SLV. These "paper reserves" are bought and sold by banks to control the price of the physical metal. The paper silver to physical silver is 196.51/1 oz of physical silver.The paper gold to physical gold is 106.7 to 1 oz. of physical gold. The banks make money selling paper gold and silver at a leveraged rate. The governments allow this because this keeps the dollar strong in relation to gold and silver.

Stephanie, Bitcoin is a private, consensus means of exchange and it is very limited unlike fiat where a central banker can create trillions of fiat with click of a mouse. There will only be 21 million Bitcoin and the last Bitcoin will be mined in about 2140! If society agrees that Bitcoin is a means of exchange why should we oppose it, especially when Bitcoin is not under the control of the central bankers. I think you should consult GATA about manipulation of gold. No theories, Stephanie. Only hard data.

The reason why gold has to go below $1000 is because prior in the 80s and 90s it took 20 years for it to bottom out. This time it only took 4 years from the high to low to bottom out. So did it really bottom out? Not yet.

I agree with Stephanie, I don't understand Bitcoin. If I buy it for $40,000 per coin, it can easily be $35,000 tomorrow and I lost money. Sound more like stocks rather than saving accounts?

Ok guys I have a question for you. What happen when productivity is sustain by debt?

Oh Zimbabwe had massive money printing. They have not had a currency since 2009 lol. More to collect.

Gold is definitely going below $1000. I am 100% certain. What do you think the price of gold stocks will look like when that happens?

Crypto is a response to the crime against humanity that the banks have created by leading us down the path of unimaginable debt worldwide. "I GET GOLD, I GET BITCOIN" l own both as they are both a store of value. Stephanie grant me 30 minutes of your time and l can give you absolute proof of purpose as a means and store of value for crypto and this coming from a baby-boomer like me. Great interview your both a delight to listen to. Mike
