    David Tepper "Fed is not going to cut stimulus near term"

    David Tepper "Fed is not going to cut stimulus near term"

    Bag holders during the taper scare,which hit emerging markets harder than the US, are once again bond holders. Mr Tepper must be talking up his recent T - note/bond purchases as Mr Dalio recently was. Seems the idea of taper/tightening/relative austerity wasnt handled very well world...

    how to play the Default

    Seems every two weeks , or once a month or so , that the price action across assets should be marked or noted due to a catalyst.. Today seems to me , one of those days. Risk on / USD debasement capitulation. Can kicked, Fed hog-tied taper off , bonds bid to moon, earnings will probably be...
