SI299: Sharing the Trend Following Pie ft. Andrew Beer
Top Traders Unplugged
Analyzing Real Yields, Economic Models, and Predictions
Exploring the significant decrease in US real yields post-2009 and its implications on interest rates, government debt, and the limitations of traditional economic forecasts.
Today, we are joined by Andrew Beer where we discuss the outlook for inflation and why Andrew believes there is an existential crisis in macro economic modelling. We then touch on the question "if trend followers might be the only true short sellers left" as well as how to deal with the lag effect when using replication models. We round off our conversation discussing why Andrew believes we should all “share the trend following pie” and why the managed futures space is stalling when it comes to AuM, why he believes that money is “packed anxiety” for most people, why the ETF space needs an injection of positivity and much more.
