Schwitzer (spl?) from JPM on CNBC just said that the USD is on his way to strengthen further - we where first in and now first out of the recession - UUH !!! and no one even reminded him that only yesterday a recession trade deficit was announced of a mere 56 billion - oh well this is small change I suppose -

Only wonder how grown ups can even utter such non-sense, no to mention those that call themselves “financial experts”

Unbelievable how ignorance and arrogance are exposed without shame

just in in-tray

Just to back up xyz’s point about endowments: in 2008 they held 13% of their assets in fixed income, down from 33% in 1995.

Their ‘alternative asset’ investment – read private equity and the like – was up from 20% in 1995 to, wait for it, 60% in 2008.

What little they can get back will be distributed between equities and FI but there will be a lot of sackings if it isn’t disproportionately to safety in my view.
