#597: A recession is coming, and it might be worse than most people expect. That's the sobering assessment from Bob Elliott, former Head of Ray Dalio's Investment Team at Bridgewater Associates, when he joins us on the podcast. Bob explains that several economic factors are converging to create challenging conditions. The combination of current trade policies, persistent inflation issues, and a Federal Reserve that's constrained in its response is creating significant economic headwinds. Tariffs play a central role in this economic outlook. While their inflationary impact remains debatable, their growth-negative effects are more certain. When imported goods become more expensive, consumers have less money to spend on other things. This reduces demand across the entire economy. Manufacturing and reshoring aren't simple solutions either. Bob points out that building new factories takes about five years, with payback periods stretching 30 years. This timeline explains why CEOs hesitate to make such investments, especially in an environment where policies change unpredictably. This uncertainty has driven CEO confidence to its lowest levels since the 2008 financial crisis, further complicating economic prospects. For individual investors, Bob offers surprisingly straightforward advice. Despite his sophisticated background managing billions, he follows a simple personal investment strategy: dollar-cost averaging and diversification. He even limits himself to reviewing his investments just once annually — typically the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. This disciplined approach prevents overtrading and removes emotion from investment decisions — principles that apply whether you're investing regular income or handling a windfall. Throughout our conversation, Bob emphasizes that the US economy fundamentally runs on consumer spending. When policies redirect money from discretionary spending toward necessities, the effects ripple throughout the entire system.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Bob Elliott, Co-Founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited Funds, who shares his insights on how to evaluate skills from luck in investment outcomes. The discussion also touched upon the current state of inflation in developed countries like Europe, the UK, and the US. Despite recent supply shocks causing higher price growth, wages have matched or surpassed it, resulting in elevated rates exceeding central bank targets. Elliott also addressed the concerns of central bankers regarding debt and income dynamics, mentioning the risks of negative reinforcing cycles and comparing credit-driven economic expansions to sustainable income-driven ones. The speakers discussed the relationship between government deficits and economic growth, debating whether high levels lead to significant stimulus or a large debt burden. Regarding labor markets, Bob addressed the rising costs of inflation and the impact on reshoring production in the US. The speakers touched upon de-globalization, parallel supply chains, and shipping costs as causes for price increases and disruptions. The Fed's current monetary policy stance was discussed, with potential future actions debated due to low unemployment and while inflation is still above target. Bob questioned the significance of specific labor market numbers and he also touched upon why the US economy avoided a recession despite predictions. In this income-driven environment, Bob discussed the shift from growth to value stocks and the impact on investable assets in sectors with earnings and market consolidation. The supercycle in resource markets was also discussed highlighting investment lags behind demand and potential higher commodity prices contributing to inflation.

Episode 19 On today's show I speak with Bob Elliott, Co-Founder, CEO & CIO of Unlimited Funds, Bringing the Indexing Revolution to Alternative Investments, about macroeconomics and applying the data to various asset classes and market. 1. FED & Inflation Although there is a deceleration pattern emerging with CPI (mostly due to medical the past 2 mo - odd), the current disinflationary forces in Core goods may have bottomed and could possibly reverse (as it moves in waves) Labor market holds key to inflation. Nominal wages have grown significantly. Increased tightness in labor markets is placing pressure on consumer prices. 2. Labor Market Finding a mid-pt with all data Services spending is mostly a function of employment and wages. Employment stretched so services spending is compensating for the contraction in goods and real estate spending. As FED tightens monetary policy, with goal of higher unemployment, services should weaken which will likely weaken GDP. 3. Earnings Public vs Private 4. Everything bubble and this time period is like a mix of many different bear market cycles – 40s (post WW2), 70s 2000s cycle, 2008, and post WW2 40s 5. GOAL - producing durable ALPHA! 6.

The Federal Reserve and the bulls have been hoping for a “soft landing” scenario in which inflation falls but the economy doesn't enter a recession. The odds of a “soft landing” appear to have increased over the past few months - but what are the odds that, should it come to pass, a soft landing will actually last? Bob Elliott, CIO of Unlimited Funds, and and Andy Constan, founder of Damped Macro Research and 2 Gray Beards, join Forward Guidance to debate the odds. Constan and Elliott, former colleagues at asset management behemoth Bridgewater Associates, also share their views on liquidity, asset valuations, and interest rates.

Tom welcomes Bob Elliot to the show he is CEO & CIO of Unlimited Funds. Bob Elliot discussed the current economic situation, the role of debt cycles, and the trade-offs between a fiat monetary system and a commodity-based system. He noted that productivity is the main driver of growth over the long term, and that debt cycles have been used to make up for declining productivity. He explained the risks associated with governments borrowing to make up for productivity declines and noted that wage growth is maintaining nominal spending at a higher level. Bob also discussed the Great Depression and Japan's deflationary trap, arguing that the US has been more successful in responding to deflationary forces due to their policy mix. He also argued that the Federal Reserve should be agile in responding to data rather than predicting what will happen and mentioned gold as a great diversifying asset to protect against tail risks.

Bob Elliott, chief investment officer of Unlimited Funds, joins the podcast to discuss his views on the Federal Reserve, inflation, the midterm elections, and why stocks have entered a long 'slog' for the foreseeable future. Content Highlights Investors have been conditioned for recessions to feature a fast decline in equity markets followed by a rapid recovery. This time around those dynamics are different (3:44); There is no chance of a 'Fed pivot' coming anytime soon (7:58); What about infighting at the Fed and within the FOMC? (11:03); Yes, you need unemployment to increase for there to be any progress with inflation. Higher prices are no longer due to supply chain issues (13:57); The Fed will raise either 50bps or 75bps at its next meeting and rates could easily go up to 6% (21:22); Background on the guest and his ETF, the Unlimited HFND Multi Strategy Return Tracker ETF. Stock ticker: HFND (26:19); The growing disconnect between hedge fund positioning and retail investors: Hedge funds are short bonds, long commodities, bullish gold, and are sitting on a bunch of cash... (36:21); The Fed's target rate for inflation is 2%, but that could change. That would bring a myriad of issues... (38:24); It's hard to get bullish about longterm bonds: right now and for the foreseeable future (40:54); Investors continue to look for reasons that the economy is slowing and the Fed needs to reverse course. There is virtually no evidence of this happening (42:44); The midterm elections are likely to lead to a split government. This brings tail risks that few people are talking about (44:50).

Raising capital for real estate is at some point what every investor must do. When you're buying your first rental property, you can easily use your cash savings or a conventional loan to close on the property. But, on your second, third, fourth, or one-hundredth deal, finding the money (or financing) to get the deal done may start to get a little difficult. So how do you come up with the money to buy more rental properties, house flips, or commercial real estate, WITHOUT asking your parents, grandma, or friends for cash?Amy Mahjoory has raised $20M from private money lenders, none of which are related to her (she makes sure of that). Think of Amy as a capital connector, getting to know as many existing, or potential, private money lenders as possible. We know what you're thinking, “private money lending sounds complicated, don't only big investors do that?” Think of a private money lender as anyone who has money, isn't doing much with it, and wants to make more of it.These lenders could be your taxi driver, your dentist, or maybe a friend of a friend. Private money is all around you, and if financing or cash reserves is what's stopping you from doing more deals, we urge you to take the four steps that Amy outlines today. There's a good chance you already know a private money lender!In This Episode We Cover:What is private money lending and why it's so different from traditional financingBuilding a reputation that'll turn a stranger into a trusted lender quicklyThe “four-second power pitch” that'll land you lenders immediatelyHow to make your lending process legit and the documentation needed to do soAddressing investor fear and how to make lenders feel confident in youThe key to open, honest, and powerful communication when talking to any potential lenderAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastGet Your Ticket for BPCon 2022Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your Area“On The Market” YouTube ChannelDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterAccess Brandon Turner's Free MasterclassHow to Find Private Money Lenders and Finance Your Deals10 Ways to Build a Reputation as Your Market's Premier Real Estate InvestorHard Money vs. Private MoneyBooks Mentioned in the ShowRaising Private Capital by Matt FairclothRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiConnect with Amy:Amy's WebsiteAmy's LinkedInAmy's InstagramClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-635Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Well....it's a new world and the No Puppet podcast reflects that. The partners waited two weeks for this latest instalment becasue...well...because normal. Sure there was still some politics to discuss but they also talked about current non-political podcasts they're listening to and gave their Netflix recommendations. The Former Guy will forever be referred to as the Former Guy but he factors less and less in this podcast as the calm settles around us all. In the words of John Prine "Ain't Life Grand?"
