I was at a conference in 2012 (I can’t remember which, although it was in LA), and David Rosenberg was giving a talk and updates to his market views.  An audience member asked him about what he thought about the bond market bubble.

After a pause and perhaps a sigh, he responded with what I considered to be a really interesting comment (paraphrasing here), “I wonder if it is possible to have a bubble in an asset class that is universally hated?”  You could tell the room had to take a minute to digest this comment…

Rosenberg writes a daily “Breakfast with Dave” piece for Gluskin Sheff.  In this special report, he shares his investment outlook for 2013 with a few contrarian views….

Here are a few charts and quotes from the piece:

—-

“Fed likely to keep rates near 0% through 2018 (according to our analysis): Interest rate volatility minimized; long-short credit strategies should remain core to any bond strategy.”

“In a 0% return environment, notwithstanding all the uncertainties across so many levels — financial, economic and geopolitical, cash is not king. What is king is cash flow, however”
