Bills hat is awesome and his side hair is even better. Always been a fan !

0:18: 📉 Equity investors would need to justify entering the market without a risk premium by relying on potential increases in productivity and a stronger economy.
3:19: 📈 The speaker discusses the term premium for bonds and the value of a 10-year treasury at 5%.
6:47: 📉 The US has not been a major player in fiscal conservatism for quite some time, with the appetite to address the fiscal situation dissipating.
9:29: 😕 The sales of ETFs and the mix of Treasury sales are driving the less negative yield curve, but the housing market is struggling.
12:48: 📈 The 10-year government spread narrowing could benefit mortgage REITs like AGNC, which currently yield about 16%.

[@cennamo66]

All true. Then why is the market going up?

[@bradapotamus]

​@@cennamo66the machines are swing trading the dead cat bounce down the drain. This economy is dead, the media just doesn't want to report on it yet until they milk every dollar they can out of it.

[@onedaily2471]

Very interesting interview. Both interviewers were awesome.
Bill is back!

[@andrewmitchell7592]

Very fluent man for 80 years old no doubt excellent information.

[@joeythelipz]

Summary - Average guy on street is completely screwed

[@mx4073]

I love Bill but damn someone please tell him that his barber is only cutting 50% of his hair! The left side of his head needs a serious trim.

[@RobertT__www-nfta-ink]

total expected return increased thanks to the rising bond yield

[@AH-fm7rj]

In 2006, when FED brought rates up, exactly these people were talking about going back to normal.😅

[@Gabber44906]

[@Buckaroo801]

Why is he looking down when asking questions??

[@fastmph]

Bill needs to address his hairdo.

[@edmorel134]

He needs to put a hat on

[@mmaranta785]

He’s got great sidehair

[@Chessmapling]

When you're the bond king you don't need to address anything

[@andrewmitchell7592]

😂

[@mediumraresteak851]

The Bond King has spoken. Wall Street hedgies definitely taking notes.

[@titusp9488]

[@Chessmapling]

Maybe give the video a watch and draw conclusions for yourself@@titusp9488

[@sang3Eta]

"3% inflation expectation"
They're borrowing a $1 trillion new USD into existence every month!

[@trent3727]

ill agree that McDonald's is overvalued

[@RichardSKLim]

The free and easy money party must end, otherwise the economy will never be able to grow healthily again.

[@Fj8282haha]

Market when up 1% after bill’s joke on “equity overvalued.” Good timing bill

[@miguel.facusse]

Good timing indeed! 😆

[@larrytheshark3945]

[@spacewalktraveller1]

[@Erick-tl6ll]

Well..... home sellers can stop the greed and lower their prices.

[@frankf8623]

I assume he had a long nap on his right side

[@hashimrahman51]

You would think being a billionaire he could hire a hair stylist?

[@johnyvik7242]

[@Scottieguru]

[@helpme100]

Another level of wealth you gotta reach to understand ❤

[@aadityasaple]

Omg either Bill has simmered down out the rest of the interviews are more hyperbolic

[@romanr7232]

Must have big losses in bonds if he can’t afford a haircut

[@mmaranta785]

[@pauldietzmann5610]

Bill cant afford hair cut

[@Penjaminmantis]

Issa wig. That’s what usually happens to people who trade bones you will lose all your hair.

[@johnyvik7242]
