Uncommonly Bullish Jim Grant interview by Consuelo Mack

One of those should get one to the 27 min interview with no ad
BS or airhead questions.

Grant makes some bullish points, which likely will be rejected by the average iTulip reader and such rejection might in fact support his bullish perspective.

And here is a graph (in the link) comparing duration and extent of the Depression-Era Bear Market Rallies to the current DJI rally from March 2009 lows which is about 80 days longer and ~5-6% higher than biggest '29-32 rally.

Were Grant to prove to be correct in his bullishness, then perhaps at a later time it will prove to have been inappropriate to consider the current US rally as a "bear market rally."

Thanks for posting Jim.

I think Grant is a brilliant guy, but I do not expect "growth to surprise us on the upside" next year nor that the crisis is over. Call me a "glass half-empty" kinda fella.

I am actually a bit dismayed that he would say such a thing; based on what? We do not really know from the clip.

Anyway, in honor of your fourth video post, I think and embed job is deserved!

Runtime: 25min.

tHANKS FOR THE EMBED.

From the video, his remarks referenced to some fellow about buying when people hated stocks and selling when everyone is loving them, might have influenced his bullishness, and his recent change into being a bull which was probably noted somewhere on these threads. The other applicable dictum that has existed for some while now is "don't fight the Fed," and the Fed has made money "easy." Everyone I know has "hated" stocks since March or longer, and so far I don't gather that the Fed is about to start tightening.

Don't ask me for fundamental bullish arguments. I know none. But I have noted the markets have gone up getting onto eight months now.
