There is “not a chance,” that the Fed will be able to unwind its balance sheet in an orderly manner, “because everybody is front-running [them],” as the Fed is creating “serial bubbles,” that are increasingly hard to manage since “we’re getting in deeper and deeper every time.” David Stockman has been vociferously honest in the last few days and his Bloomberg Radio interview with Tom Keene was extremely so. While Keene tries his best to remain upbeat and his permabullish self, Stockman just keeps coming with body blow after body blow to the thesis that this ‘recovery’ is sustainable. “They are using a rosy scenario forecast for the next ten years that would make the rosy scenario of the 1981 Reagan administration look like an ugly duckling,” he exclaims, adding that the Keynesian Krugmanites’ confidence is “disingenuous” – “the elephant in the room – the Fed,” that are for now enabling rates to stay where they are. The full transcript below provides much food for thought but he warns, if the Fed ever pulled back, even modestly, “there would be a tremendous panic sell off in the bond market because it is entirely propped up… It’s to late to go cold turkey.”
