Episode 9:

On today's show I speak with Aahan, founder of Prometheus Research, a research service with the goal of democratizing finance making institutional-quality insights and research available to the public.

1. Background of Macro research

  • Understanding underlying mechanisms over analyzing data
  • Monetary contracts and how we got here
  • Money grows faster than underlying labor and capital
  • Monetary policy - tighter is needed to tame inflation
  • Interest rates need to be higher than CPI to lower future inflation

2. Monetary and cost push inflation

  • Money infused into personal incomes and economy with production and labor
  • Productivity down - less output/dollar
  • Rise in costs of capital, production, labor
  • Margins compressed with dilution of value

3. PMI, ISM and Manufacturing Reports

  • Manufacturing forward indicator for earnings
  • Real demand coming down
  • Consumption declined 
  • Excess production and inventory build

4. Tightening liquidity 

  • Returns on assets relative to cash is negative
  • Pressures on production and employment increasing
  • Lower output and less need for employment
  • Stagflationary Nominal Growth to Stagflation
  • Real incomes and spending weaker so business sales also weaker

5. GDP Nowcast

  • Weakening in real growth relative to previous year
  • Real GDP could go negative near term

6. Returns not a feature of asset class but a feature of sample selection
