EQUITY MONEY FLOWS BY INVESTOR TYPE AND ASSET CLASS

“Money, Money, Money!”

ECB’s balance sheet increased +$14b this week or at a +$0.7t a.r. This helps explain why German bond yields are just 32bp and their 2-year yields are -57bp. All this has global implications, eg, low German bond yields are restraining US bond yields.

DIMON: UNWINDING OF QE MAY BE MORE DISRUPTIVE THAN PEOPLE THINK

“We act like we know exactly how it’s going to happen, but we don’t” “We’ve never had QE like this before. We’ve never had unwinding like this before” Central banks want to provide certainty but “you can’t make things certain that are uncertain”

Reversal of monetary policy by selling securities in the marketplace “could be a little more disruptive than people think” Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chairman

We wondered whether there was anything to be learned from paying attention to changes in our stability score and we looked into that idea using a year-over-year rate-ofchange measure. Consistent with many other studies we’ve done over the years we found that the destination is more important then the journey, and the results were weaker than those for the score itself. One interesting nuance was that the more stable the company’s fundamentals were initially the more excited investors got when they became even more predictable. In those situations the improvement was seen as believable.
