On the version of Hot off the Wire posted July 11 at 7:30 a.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s imperiled reelection campaign is hitting new trouble. Rather than urging him to stay in, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday “it’s up to the president to decide” if he should. Celebrity donor George Clooney said he should not run, and Democratic senators expressed fresh fear about his ability to beat Republican Donald Trump. Late Wednesday, Vermont Sen. Peter Welch called on Biden to withdraw, becoming the first Senate Democrat to do so. It all shows how unsettled the questions over Biden's candidacy remain among Democrats, despite Biden's insistence he is staying in the race. Pelosi has been widely watched for signals of how top Democrats are thinking about Biden’s candidacy.

As many of you already know, we have been working hard to figure out the best way to model expected stock returns for financial planning and asset allocation. It has a lot of history in financial literature, which is to be expected, given the importance of the figure. In today’s episode, we’re looking all the way back to 1985, when Rajnish Mehra and Edward C.Prescott called the equity premium a puzzle, through to the present day, when the equity risk premium has only gotten larger. We dive into some of the theories for resolving the equity premium puzzle, explain why US stock market data isn’t the best way to estimate future premiums, thanks to its survivorship bias, and some of the general issues with interpreting past returns. Benjamin also gets into predictability, which is not as obvious as it seems, and highlights some of the information from the simulation he performed, and the big breakthroughs from running the numbers. All this and more in today’s episode on expected stock returns, so make sure to tune in today!   Key Points From This Episode: Kicking off with the fallout from the collapse of Archegos Capital, the death of Bernie Madoff, and the story of the $100 million New Jersey deli. [0:06:35] Reflecting on the recent article, ‘Could Index Funds be ‘Worse Than Marxism’?’. [0:11:05] On to today’s topic: do expected stock returns wear a cape? [0:13:05] Theories for resolving the equity premium puzzle; either the model is wrong or the historical premium was higher than it will be in the future. [0:14:14] Hear John H. Cochrane’s theory from his 1997 paper, ‘Where is the Market Going?’ [0:14:42] Why we can’t use historic US stock market data to approximate future premiums. [0:14:57] Other issues with looking to past returns, like no proof that the equity premium was stationary. [0:15:23] Why time periods characterized by decreasing risk should effectively see decreased discount rates too. [0:16:04] Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton (DMS) on expected stock returns using out of sample data. [0:16:40] Hear some of the equity risk premium stats from their world index versus the US. [0:19:38] How annual returns have been relatively unaffected by global financial crises. [0:21:15] From looking back, to what to expect going forward: the issues with interpreting past returns. [0:22:10] Why, according to DMS, expected returns equal the growth rate in dividends plus the dividend yield. [0:25:26] Hear the actual figures, which reflect the minor contribution of multiple expansion. [0:26:49] What a company is worth if it doesn’t distribute capital to shareholders. [0:29:03] Find out why the expected geometric equity risk premium works out to 3.5 percent. [0:30:13] While the DMS approach is reasonable, it still doesn’t account for whether expected returns are constant through time or if they vary. [0:32:21] Predictable stock returns dictate that changing risk aversion over time measurably affects risk premiums after good and bad events. [0:34:45] Diving into the vast literature on return predictability, including a paper by Goyal and Welch. [0:35:12] Why predictability is not as obvious as it seems, thanks to our sample data. [0:36:15] What we can learn from ‘Long Horizon Predictability’ by Boudoukh, Israel, and Richardson. [0:39:30] R-squared and market timing decisions; why it would need to be higher than it was historically. [0:40:32] Hear about the world index analysis Benjamin performed and what it proves about risk premiums over 30 and 60 year periods. [0:42:31] Bootstrap simulations and why they are criticized; because they ignore mean relationship, you get a much wider distribution of outcomes. [0:44:50] Big breakthroughs from running through these numbers, like noting the upward bias and tighter distribution in long-run historical data. [0:50:34] How to apply this on your own, using the 3.5 percent risk premium in the long run. [0:52:23] Some of the other interesting things we noted during these simulations. [0:53:10] We pull two cards: choosing between a holiday and a pet, and borrowing money with interest. [0:53:56] Bad advice of the week: a free lunch-esque article on investing in private credit.

On March 26, 2021, the financial world awoke to the news that rattled some of Wall Street's biggest players. To the outside world, and at the center of it all were some unfamiliar and obscure names-- Archegos Capital and its Founder Bill Hwang. The word on the street was that Archegos defaulted on billions of dollars of loans, creating a contagion amongst some of the world's biggest banks that now faced billion-dollar losses. What would be uncovered would become one of the most astounding and outrageous financial failures in modern-day history, which all could've been entirely preventable.

Mit einem neuen All-Time-High hat sich der DAX letzten Donnerstag in die Osterpause verabschiedet. Getrieben wurde der deutsche Leitindex unter anderem von Delivery Hero, bei denen der größte Aktionär Prosus noch einmal ordentlich nachgekauft hat. All-Time-High gibt es derweil auch an den Kryptomärkten. Diesmal aber nicht bei Bitcoin, sondern bei Ether – der zweitwertvollsten Kryptowährung. Die hat zur Zeit eine Marktkapitalisierung von circa 230 Milliarden US-Dollar und ist damit 1,4-mal so viel Wert wie Volkswagen – dem aktuell größten DAX-Konzern. In der Musik-Industrie wurde kurz vor der Osterpause noch ein Mega-Deal abgewickelt. Der südkoreanische Musikkonzern HYBE übernimmt für mehr als eine Milliarde US-Dollar Ithaca - die Musikfirma von Justin Bieber Manager Scooter Braun. In der ersten Story des Tages wirft Pip einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des Archegos Capital Skandals und erklärt, wie man von der geplatzten Spekulationsblase profitieren kann.

Over night we saw a lot of continuing news on the Archegos Capital Management Scandal. I call it a scandal because there is much to go around here.   We've been focusing on the role of the Prime Brokers in this entire debacle. And that part of the drama is nearly over. Last night Credit Suisse unloaded, what we are told to be the last of the Collateral Stocks that underpinned their entire position with Archegos. To translate all this, what has happened so far is that the Prime Brokers, the ones who lent Archegos somewhere between 50 to 100 times the value of their collateral, which as you recall was estimated to be 10 billion dollars, have, in most cases sold that collateral.

Archegos Capital: The little-known family office of Bill Hwang convinced almost every big bank to lend enormous sums to it.  One of the so-called Tiger Cub veterans of Julian Robertson's Tiger Management fund, Hwang was, after all, a man who had run into trouble before, having been banned from trading in Hong Kong and fined millions in the US to settle illegal trading charges in 2012.  Hwang, used to run a hedge fund called Tiger Asia, but he returned outside money after his trading misadventures. Now he is the man behind Archegos Capital, the family office that has become a stark example of what happens when banks give out too much leverage and call it back all at once.Bill Hwang had been flying under the radar until his bet on ViacomCBS ran into trouble last week. The plunge triggered margin calls, a bank's way of saying, “put up more cash or we're selling your positions”. What followed was a wave of selling by banks that wiped $33bn off the companies involved on Friday alone. By some accounts, share sales by Hwang's various counterparties have already topped $30bn, with more damage expected to follow. That spelt trouble not only for Hwang but also the top banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Nomura which extended billions of dollars in credit to allow Archegos to make highly levered bets on US and Chinese stocks. We learned on Monday that the banks had attempted to co-ordinate efforts to limit the mayhem. Those talks failed and chaos ensued.Patrick's Books: Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0​ Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF​ Corporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvCPatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.org Follow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleYouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/PatrickBoyleOnFinance/videos Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance)

This newsletter is really a public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration on all podcasting platforms courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.- RSJWe have been trying to make sense of the three key trends dominating the global financial markets over the past 12 months - the excess liquidity in the system driven by loose monetary policies and stimulus announced by central banks the world over, the persistence of the central banks to keep interest rates at historic lows without worrying about potential inflation, and the booming equity markets that seem to be completely divorced from the ground economic realities during the pandemic. You can read some of our previous posts on these here and here.How long can these trends sustain? Who knows? The perpetual optimism on which the wheels of finance move shows no signs of abating. Now, history has shown these are trends that are neither sustainable nor safe for ordinary investors. But optimism is the opium of the masses. “This time it is different” is what you usually hear as a record new stimulus is passed or markets touch new highs. But like Scott Sagan wrote in his book, The Limits of Safety: “Things that have never happened before happen all the time.” Three Strikes And…The world is full of surprises and three events in the past quarter should give regulators and investors a pause. First, Melvin Capital lost half of its $13bn fund during the GameStop saga in January this year. Melvin had taken massive leveraged short positions against the GameStop stock convinced its business model has no future. Well, the Redditors on WallStreetBets organised themselves to do the world’s first RNS (radically networked society) driven short squeeze. Melvin couldn’t reverse out of the trade soon enough. Only an emergency line of $2.75bn from other hedge funds kept it afloat. We have covered the GameStop shenanigans here.Second, the collapse of Greensill Capital, a ‘supply chain finance’ company doing Enron-like things in a decidedly dull corner of finance. The full impact of its fallout is yet to be ascertained. The collateral damage so far has been impressive: London-based steelmaker GFG alliance (run by India-born Sanjeev Gupta) is facing an existential crisis; a German retail bank that Greensill had bought has gone down; Credit Suisse that funded Greensill through securitisation of its invoice finance arrangement had to write down huge losses; Bluestone Resources, a US-based coal mining company that’s left high and dry without Greensill’s funding pipeline; and Tokio Marine Insurance that underwrote the risks Greensill’s clients and investors in Credit Suisse funds were taking is still counting its losses. The Greensill story is a good example of how it is not different this time. Supply chain financing has been around for a long time. Company A buys goods from a smaller Supplier B and promises to pay it (say) in 90 days. Ideally, B would like to be paid immediately but it usually lacks the bargaining power. Company A would prefer to pay as late as possible since it improves its cash flow and use it to further its business. Enter C, the Supply Chain Financier. C promises to pay B faster but at a small discount as the cost of getting its money quickly. It then collects the full amount from A. In a way, C pays on behalf of A and then collects the money from A over a period of time. It is like a traditional short-term loan that’s backed by the security of the invoice. And how does C get the money to pay to the suppliers faster? Usually, C would issue commercial papers (unsecured promissory notes) to obtain funds from market participants looking to park their excess funds for a short-term to back their invoice arrangements. The spread it makes between the two is C’s business.But in a world where the liquidity is high, interest rates low and stock markets at their peaks, there’s always money looking for avenues to make some ‘extra’ return. Greensill had a perfect plan for them. Instead of issuing commercial papers, it securitised the supplier invoices into short-term assets and offered them to the likes of Credit Suisse and other asset management firms. In other words, these invoices were turned into a different financial instrument which could now be positioned differently to investors. With this, the stage was set to get into riskier bets and shuffle the risk around in a way that made investors believe they were still investing in a safe supply chain financing instrument than something more complex. These investment firms launched Greensill-linked funds and raised money from investors who were drawn to the promise of almost risk-free returns that were higher than money market funds. Greensill also got insurance companies to back the risks underlying these funds to make them appear safer and more attractive. This was mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that brought down Lehman Brothers in 2008 all over again. Not content with this, Greensill went a step further. It started advancing funds to its clients based on anticipated future invoices. That is, there was no supplier and no goods purchased. But it was giving money in anticipation of business being done with a supplier in future. In effect, it started offering long-term loans to its clients in the guise of short-term, low-risk loans with neither the insurer nor the funds like Credit Suisse being wiser to their tricks. It was only a matter of time before the house of cards would collapse. Third, the implosion of hedge fund Archegos Capital late last week caused by extreme leverage. With GameStop and Melvin Capital, the leverage was on the short. With Archegos, it was on the long side. It borrowed money from the usual Wall Street names - Nomura, Credit Suisse (again!), Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. But it used a derivative known as Total Return Swaps (TRS). The mechanics of this were simple. The hedge fund borrows money from the Bank to invest in stocks through a swap agreement. The hedge fund pays a small interest to the Bank, say, 2.5 per cent. The bank pays out any upside of investment made by the fund back to it. If there are losses, the hedge fund makes it up for the bank. This means the hedge fund makes investments without owning the asset. The bank has no real downside. The bank loves TRS because they make large fees from such arrangement without setting aside a lot of capital when compared to actual trading in securities. Being flush with liquidity in a low-interest environment makes such arrangements appear too good to resist for the banks. Things were going well for Archegos as it went about building massive levered long positions in media stocks like ViacomCBS and Discovery and various Chinese internet stocks. Some of these were quite illiquid stocks where Archegos almost owned half of the total stocks available for trade. Till ViacomCBS, whose stock had gone up 3X over the past year, decided to do a $3bn share sale wanting to capitalise on its good fortune. This backfired and the stock nosedived. This triggered a margin call and we were back to 2008 again. Archegos couldn’t cough up funds to cover the losses and the brokers dumped the shares on their behalf. The forced liquidation led to a massive selloff late last week across markets. Nomura and Credit Suisse couldn’t get out fast enough and warned of significant impact to their earnings. The worries of a contagion started going around. No one is sure if the collateral damage has been contained.Safety Valves Or Canaries?One way to look at these three events is to consider them as the safety valves of capitalism. There are excesses that happen in each cycle and the market mechanism is subverted by a few players. But there is a reckoning soon enough and the markets are better off for it.The other way is to view them as early signs of a looming crisis - the canaries in a coal mine. It is often said bubbles aren’t merely about skyrocketing valuations. The underlying truth to any bubble is the shortening of time horizons in the market. Everyone is out there to get rich and get out as quickly as possible. This snowballs very quickly attracting more short-term traders to make massive bets with levered money with ever-shrinking time horizons. The markets might well take these events into their stride (as they seem to have done). The three firms collapse and everyone moves on. That’s the end of it.Or maybe not. This might just be a beginning.

In today's episode of compounding lifestyle, Stock Futures Rise As Wall Street Shakes Off Archegos, ARKX Space Exploration ETF (ARKX), Tesla x Toyota Rumoured To Develop An Electric SUV Platform, and Why Archegos Captial Management Got Margin Called Stock futures rose on Monday evening, indicating Wall Street would open higher at Tuesday's opening bell, following a volatile session sparked by the sudden unwinding of a hedge fund run by a marquee investor. Elevated valuations are probably the biggest source of consternation for investors. Hedge Funds in arguing that expectations for robust earnings growth and more upward revisions from analysts are why valuations appear overstated today. All that said, Barclays sees limited upside in the near term. The firm has a 4,000 year-end target for the S&P, which suggests less than a 1% gain from Friday's close.

Die Wall Street bereitet aktuell nicht viel Freude. Es ist ein Markt, der nicht so leicht zu navigieren ist. Ist es nicht das Eine, dann bremst das Andere. Die Renditen der Staatsanleihen steigen auf das höchste Niveau seit 14 Monaten. Wieder haben wir eine Ausrede für sinkende Tech-Aktien und insbesondere die Momentum-Werte werden erneut getroffen. Dafür sehen wir ein Plus bei den Aktien, die durch das Debakel bei Archegos Capital gebeutelt wurden. Sowohl ViacomCBS wie auch Tencent Music tendieren vorbörslich freundlich. In diesem börsentäglichen Podcast aus New York und direkt von der Wall Street geht es um all das, was die Börse, die Unternehmen und Wirtschaft bewegt. Dazu gehört natürlich auch die Politik und die aktuellen Ereignisse aus Washington. Worüber spricht man also an der Wall Street, wenn an der New Yorker Aktienbörse die Eröffnungsglocken läuten? Wo liegen die Chancen und wo die Risiken und warum ist das, was sich hier bei mir in den USA abspielt auch für Schweizer Anleger wichtig?
