The Feds Dilemma

BRIDGEWATER ASSOCIATES DAILY OBSERVATIONS


In the old days central banks moved interest rates to run monetary policy. By watching the flows, we could see how lowering interest rates stimulated the economy by 1) reducing debt service burdens which improved cash flows and spending, 2) making it easier to buy items marked on credit because the monthly payments declined, which raised demand and 3) producing a positive wealth effect because the lower interest rate would raise the present value of most investment . All that changed when interest rates hit 0%; "printing money" (QE) replaced interest-rate changes. Because central banks can only buy financial assets, quantitative easing drove up the prices of financial assets and did not have as broad of an effect on the economy. The marginal effects of wealth increases on economic activity have been declining significantly. The Fed's dilemma is that its policy is creating a financial market bubble that is large relative to the pickup in the economy that it is producing. If it were targeting asset prices, it would tighten monetary policy to curtail the emerging bubble, whereas if it were targeting economic conditions, it would have a slight easing bias. In other words, 1) the Fed is faced with a difficult choice, and 2) it is losing its effectiveness. We expect this limit to worsen. As the Fed pushes asset prices higher and prospective asset returns lower, and cash yields can't decline, the spread between the prospective returns of risky assets and those of safe assets will shrink at the same time as the riskiness of risky assets will not decline, changing the reward-to-risk ratio in a way that will make it more difficult to push asset prices higher and create a wealth effect. Said differently, at higher prices and lower expected returns the compensation for taking risk will be too small to get investors to bid prices up and drive prospective returns down further. If that were to happen, it would become difficult for the Fed to produce much more of a wealth effect. If that were the case at the same time as the trickling down of the wealth effect to spending continues to diminish, which seems likely, the Fed's power to affect the economy would be greatly reduced.

Were Worried About Whether Theres Much Gas Left

BRIDGEWATER ASSOCIATES DAILY OBSERVATIONS


We think that US monetary policy is nearing a new test that will require wisdom and creativity along the lines of that which was required to deal with those problems. The basic issue is that quantitative easing is a much less effective tool when asset prices are high and thus have low expected returns than it is for managing financial crises. That's because QE stimulates the economy by (1) offsetting a panic by providing cash to the financial system when there's a need for cash, and (2) by raising asset prices, and driving money from the assets they buy into demand and investment, creating a higher level of future economic activity. So, the policy was particularly wise and most effective (in the sense of impact per dollar) at the height of the financial crisis when there was both a desperate need for cash and when extremely depressed asset prices were heavily weighing on demand and investment. Now, there is a flood of liquidity and asset prices are high relative to underlying fundamentals. So the impact of additional asset price increases on demand is much less. Quantitative easing today is driving asset prices to unsustainable levels, without stimulating much additional activity. That leaves a much clearer tradeoff between driving up asset prices today and lowering future returns. The dilemma the Fed faces now is that the tools currently at its disposal are pretty much used up, in that interest rates are at zero and US asset prices have been driven up to levels that imply very low levels of returns relative to the risk, so there is very little ability to stimulate from here if needed. So the Fed will either need to accept that outcome, or come up with new ideas to stimulate conditions. We think the question around the effectiveness of continued QE (and not the tapering, which gets all the headlines) is the big deal. Given the way the Fed has said it will act, any tapering will be in response to changes in US conditions, and any deterioration that occurs because of the Fed pulling back would just be met by a reacceleration of that stimulation. So the degree and pace of tapering will for the most part be a reflection and not a driver of conditions, and won't matter that much. What will matter much more is the efficacy of Fed stimulation going forward. In other words, we're not worried about whether the Fed is going to hit or release the gas pedal, we're worried about whether there's much gas left in the tank and what will happen if there isn't.

YOU TOO CAN BE A STOCK MARKET GENIUS


The corner of the investment world filled with companies at some stage of the bankruptcy process is filled with opportunities. Many times, profitable, attractive businesses are forced into bankruptcy because of excessive leverage taken on as a result of a merger or leveraged buyout. In some cases, the business was too cyclical to make debt payments. In others, over-optimistic projections and too much debt combined to bankrupt an otherwise good company. It is these attractive, but overleveraged situations that create the most interesting investment opportunities. One way to stay out of trouble is to follow Buffetts lead and stick to good businesses. A good place to start is the category of companies that went bankrupt because they were overleveraged due to a takeover or leveraged buyout. Maybe the operating performance of a good business suffered due to a short term problem and the company was too leveraged to stay out of bankruptcy. Maybe the earnings of a company involved in a failed leveraged buyout grew, but not as fast as initially hoped, forcing the bankruptcy. Sometimes companies that have made large acquisitions end in bankruptcy simply because they wildly overpaid to acquire a trophy property. The new stock of a formerly bankrupt company may be relatively undervalued because analysts dont yet cover it, because institutions dont know about it, or simply because the company still retains a certain stigma from the bankruptcy process. In other instances, investors may find the new capital structure, while improved, still too risky. Smaller situations may not attract vulture investors because these investors cant establish big enough positions in the companys debt to justify the time and effort involved in doing the necessary research. The same logic applies to research analysts and institutional investors. These situations are truly orphaned and may trade cheaply for some time before they are discovered. In the end, however, most investors would be best advised to stick to the few companies coming out of bankruptcy that have the attributes of a good business a strong market niche, brand name, franchise, or industry position. It makes eminent sense to apply Buffetts investment concepts to a group of orphan stocks not closely followed by Wall Street.
