The Uncertainty of Monetary Policy
The IMF just came up with a revised forecast, and basically global growth I think is going to be about 3.5 percentage points for 2017. But China, Japan and China are stronger than earlier forecasts. This is the first time in nine years where the forecast as of the middle of the year is not significantly lower than it was when the forecast was made a year ago. So maybe this is just the beginnings of some sustained good news, it is possible. If you do get a sustained relatively rapid growth, and the debt level start, the debt ratio start going down, then I think all of those asset prices that you look at now could become pretty rich.
