Breakfast with Dave

Hey WSO,

I was wondering if anyone who has access to David Rosenberg's "Breakfast with Dave" would mind sending me today's issue or summing up his comments on:

"Earnings … some clouds on the horizon?" "Good news … but with some caveats"

Appreciate it

I haven't read it, but if Dave Rosenberg wrote, I can almost guarantee you the summary is that:

1) Corporate margins just hit cycle highs and are unsustainably high because companies have cut the fat and now have nowhere to hide from declining revenue trends (as a result of overlevered US consumers that are cutting back discretionary spending).

2) He probably also said yields on the long-bond are 75-100 basis points too high for the deflationary environment we're in.

3) He then probably concluded by saying investors should look for yield and avoid stocks.

 

Haha loving the Dave hate. I used to read Dave every day, and generally found his conclusions appropriate (although BananaStand did do a good job of mocking his opinions). He stopped sending his email out for free, and instead required readers who weren't clients to pay 1000$ a year for the letter. Plus, they had to download this software that wouldn't allow them to forward the email to anyone. It was intense. Fuck him for that.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
