Howard Marks Memo

Some of the highlights in his latest memo:

To grab his highlights in positioning for 2021:

“Most important on the positive side of the ledger, we seem highly likely to have a healthy economy for a good while, and the Fed has telegraphed its plan for years of accommodative monetary policy to keep it that way. Harvard economist Jason Furman estimates that the combination of above-trend income and below-trend spending has created roughly $1.8 trillion of extra disposable personal income since the beginning of the pandemic. The strong economy will be abetted by a Fed that has promised to keep interest rates low for years and to continue buying bonds. The fact that we already see full asset prices so early in the recovery is a source of risk. But on the other hand, the fact that the economy is likely to grow for several years is very encouraging.”
