Today, I\'m joined by Alan Dunne to discuss the \\u2018treasury tsunami\\u2019 and the current challenges that the economy faces, the state of the Japanese and Chinese economy and the fear of \\u2018Japanification\\u2019, what is a reasonable return expectation for the different asset classes and why you should allocate to trend following despite the scepticism surrounding it. We also discuss how we are witnessing a slow burning Minsky moment in terms of debt and the refinancing risks that will emerge in the coming years, why meaningful allocation to markets is more important than allocating to too many markets and much more.
