AN EXCLUSIVE Portfolio

October was a good month for my investments. 1. My Hong Kong collateral portfolio appreciated. During the month, I purchased shares in Ping An (HK: 2318) and added slightly to my shareholdings in Cosco Pacific (HK: 1199) and K Wah (HK: 173) through dividend reinvestment elections. I hold stocks in CMR which is suspended pursuing an attack by a short vendor alleging fraud currently.

4. My commodities rose. 5. Most of my properties were occupied with all tenants paying promptly. This month There have been only minor repair bills. Unfortunately, two buildings have obtained notices for a mandatory window inspection – I hope that I’ll not have to replace any windows. 7. My position in bonds remains small. 10. There is no transfer to Mrs Traineeinvestor this month. My cash position rose due in spite of the new investment in Ping An.

Yet the world’s central bankers made the most outlandish pre-commitment ever – they committed to years of ultra-low rates, long-term yield control, liquidity large quantity, and unwavering market backstops. Recessions and keep marketplaces won’t be tolerated. “Whatever it takes.” “Push against a tightening of financial conditions back.” Justify it all by fixating on (slightly) “below target” aggregate consumer price inflation – in a maladjusted globalized financial structure replete with extreme inequities and overcapacities.

Bull markets forever. Capitalism without downturns. Enlightened monetary management in conjunction with stupendous technological innovation. It all emerged to ensure a Phenomenal 2017 together. Enjoy, but don’t for a minute to allow yourself to be convinced it’s sustainable. The root fund is unsound phenomenally. Crazy late-cycle excess. Inflationist central bankers have actively advertised the greatest inflation and mispricing of financial assets in history. Notions of endless cheap debt have manifested Wealth Illusion of unparalleled global dimensions. Whether in U.S. equities, European fixed-income, or Chinese apartment prices, Bubble mindset this embedded is solved only through pain deeply, dislocation, and crisis. I never bought in to the comparisons of 2008 to 1929 – nor the “great recession” to the Great Depression.

2008 was for the most part a crisis in private Credit, with government personal debt and central bank or investment company Credit (fatefully) unscathed. On the other hand, the bursting of the super-Bubble in 1929 unleashed a worldwide systemic problems of confidence in the fund and policymaking more generally. In important respects, 2017 reminds me of reckless “caution to the wind” late-twenties excess in the face of darkening surprise clouds both home and global.
