Bill Miller, Chief Investment Officer

On this week’s podcast (recorded February 18, 2016), Bill comments on what the leading indicators are showing in terms of the stability of the economy and if a recession is likely:

What we like: Leading indicators, published by Department of Commerce, are out and are important in understanding chances of recession; so far, indicators are showing a healthy economy with no recession likely at least in the next six months; stability in oil prices helping to calm the markets; China is actively supporting their economy

What we don’t like: We still need to hear about the ECB exposure to bad loans in China; need more clarity if the Fed will raise rates in March; there’s enough global trauma out there to make raising rates seem unwise

What we’re doing about it: Monitoring this rally period between now and the spring as economic activity is decent; may look to take longer tactical positions
