Just on CNBC. The guy has been spot on in his calls for a couple of years.
VIDEO LINK

• Makes a good case for soft landing here with a strong recovery in the back half.

• Looks for a recession in Europe to create tech headwinds, but expects tech to rebound despite that.

• Expects gas prices to fall slightly despite tight oil supply. Food inventories building should pressure prices downward.

• S&P 5100 target in 2023 Q1.

Good interview. Replay will probably hit CNBC.com/YT in a day or two.

He's a bull, and we've been in a bull market. He should have been spot on for the last 15 years.

I believe he made that 5100 S&P prediction at the start of the year, and is just sticking with it now. It's not so much based on recent trends.

He's already admitted things got much worse than he predicted, which as the above poster noted, will always be true in a bear market with him.

So a 30% increase in the S&P over the next < 9 months

Negative.
He called the downturn.

If we hadn't had the extra COVID bonus to social programs, we wouldn't have nearly the economic problems we have now.

When Unemployment starts rising in the coming months, I fully expect this President and Congress to attempt to ram through permanent increases in social program benefits (using rising Unemployment and continued high prices as their foundation to argue from). Whether it makes it through or not is another issue.

He retweeted this: "“An American economy in free fall does not tend to produce 372,000 jobs on any given month." This completely ignores the jump in new jobless claims which came out earlier today.

He also uses the included chart to underscore his belief in a "'soft landing' more than recession narrative". Is he basing his oil expectation on lowered demand due to extended high prices? That would be about the only thing which makes sense but that also has other ramifications (rising unemployment due to less purchasing/travel/etc).

As for food inventories... how are those going to build? Biden just increased the ethanol mandate by 50% (which means less acreage going toward produce consumable by humans and more field corn being sold to refineries instead of going toward livestock). Ukraine's harvest from last year is (literally) rotting at the dock, Russia's grain is being blackballed (although it wouldn't shock me to find China and/or India purchasing it on the side) and Ukraine still can't plant because of their ongoing war (meaning there will likely be nothing to harvest this year).

The world isn't losing population (at least as far as anyone knows), so how is supply going to build up if it's being hampered?

There's absolutely nothing involving the drivers currently killing our economy, other than the Fed raising rates, to support most of this speculation.

Not exactly calling a downturn here

I agree that Biden's policies haven't been a positive on the economy or market, but by the time he made these comments Biden had been in office a full year. He should know better.

Rising unemployment is a lagging indicator too. The covid recession was unique.

Also, the labor market staying this strong is not great for risk as it gives the Fed runway to continue to tighten hard.

I want some of what he's smoking. Calling bottom? Fine. But I don't see how we rip this hard to all time highs in 6 months in these conditions. Odds of this are very low IMO

That potato still has some dumb economic tricks up his sleeve, but after January he should be in hobbles or handcuffs.

Biden and his gaggle of leftist eco-hens want to shutdown fracking in the Permian Basin. Fracking in the Permian Basin produces around 40% of our domestic oil.

Is he dumb enough to do it?

The market's strength the past 12+ years has been due in large part to "quantitative easing" - $80B/month - close to $1T/year - being printed and pumped into the economy, plus interest rates near zero.

That source of "economic growth" is ending simultaneous with "quantitative tightening" - turning off the ~$1T/year of printed money - plus the Fed dramatically raising interest rates.

Calling him a "bull" is faint praise given the conditions he's used to operating in - hell, everybody has made money in the markets for a dozen years - IMHO he's a sunshine pumper - do I hope he's right? Sure. Do I think he's right? Nope.

Prove me wrong.

So you believe in government driving the economy (socialism)??

Or do you believe that technological advances (zoom, docusign, etc) have driven the free markets aka capitalism?

Hell no!!!! I'm the biggest free-market capitalist you could imagine. I am an advocate for giving the innovative technical and supply-side economic drivers close to free-rein, just this side of anarchy. The 50 years post-WWII (1940s - 1990s) are evidence of what free-market capitalism can accomplish - the US created more wealth and raised the global standard of living more than any government in history - FACT!

What I tried to articulate is the government and Federal Reserve have artificially juiced/manipulated the economy and stock market since the crash 12-14 years ago via an inflationary infusion of freshly printed worthless cash and near zero interest rates. We could have probably continued on that insane course for another decade or so but the China flu and economic shutdown (planned and coordinated by the DNC and CCP to help steal the 2020 election) prompted a massive increase in more worthless currency printing, resulting in the current inflation disaster - politically untenable. The knee-jerk reaction by the government and Fed is to rapidly do two things; 1) decrease new money printing/infusion; 2) jack up interest rates. Understand this - they are only taking these actions to prop up the failing socialist/communist deep state policies and try to salvage the 2024 election for Biden's replacement stooge.

Yellen, Powell, et al aren't stupid - they knew their policies would exacerbate inflation and create this mess - in fact, the Build Back Better bill was designed to completely destroy the economy, enabling truly drastic government seizure and control of the economy and nation (never let a crisis go to waste) - but the leftists had not counted on Manchin and Sinema blocking their over-reach so they have been forced to "retreat" and implement a more incremental approach.

Longer answer than the "question" you asked but I get wound up when there is any chance of a misunderstanding of my core beliefs.

No one knows what the future holds.

Work hard
Don’t overspend
Save every month
Max out 401k
Don’t get divorced
Work out a few times a week

Do that and you will be just fine

Sure, if you're looking only at one number, but to see the full picture you need more than just U3. U6 and new jobless claims tell a more complete story.

To touch on what I mentioned earlier, I'll pose it as a question to you...

Specifically, what changes to the drivers of our current economic downturn have happened to create an environment for anything other than continued downward movement?
