Can we ever forget the dreadful crew he surrounded himself with at the Treasury? They will only do his bidding. He will never tolerate for long working with anyone who has the intelligence to argue back and the strength of mind to do so. This country is in a terrible mess and each day that passes the problem becomes worse and more complicated - he loves complication and believes the more he sloshes billions around the more he will be seen as 'doing something' whereas he is mostly digging the hole deeper for this country to extricate itself. from.

Certainly, the recession was coming but they might have kept the plates spinning for a little while longer if they hadn't suffered a sudden crissis in confidence in the dubious loans they had been trading as super safe assets.

I too heard him mention in an interview that he was investing in Bonds but I truly thought this was for the benefit of the BBC(Business Daily interview - radio). I think he was actually taking the "mick". Yep, I must agree Hugh Hendry is a top chap and an excellent Hedge Fund manager.

Yes, that is pretty much what I have thought. But perhaps not just yet. Hugh Hendry has a pretty solid record.

The planet is going to be flooded with government paper (IOUs). Government "interventions" in market systems always create distortions in those markets which take time to be absorbed and create uncertainties. Markets go into defensive mode, waiting for the next government shoe to drop. The really worrying bit is where governments start getting involved in the long term debt markets. Such as buying up long term toxic securities like mortgaged backed bonds. This will put the taxpayer at a long term risk and create a nasty hangover for years ahead which the markets will not forget. Better to let them die naturally and take the pain now. A better explanation at http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/merk/2009/0113.html Good piece at the following, on money supply.
