I am very fortunate to have Mark Yusko, CEO of Morgan Creek Funds, follow me on Twitter. He’s a very approachable guy (must be the North Carolina charm), sleepless (judging from his tweet timeline) and an unapologetic bear (as you will see from his slide deck). I am fond of Mark’s intellect and fascinated by his Crypto obsession! As a result, I rarely miss his presentations on the markets, as I always find something to learn . This recent presentation is no different:

Here is Mark’s Macro narrative in charts.

My Fave Themes:

  • •EPS Outlook
  • •Small Cap Valuation
  • •Value vs Growth
  • •1937 Analog
  • •EEM + China
  • •Commodities + Gold
  • •Inflation + USD

 


Samantha here, so if Mark’s thesis proves prescient, then what should be in your portfolio heading into 2019?

  1. Long-term Treasuries
  2. Consumer Staples, Healthcare and REITS
  3. Quality companies with High Dividend Yield, Low Beta and Minimum Volatility

What should your portfolio be getting rid of heading into 2019?

  1. Growth Equities and Speculative Credit
  2. Tech, Industrials, and Energy
  3. Low Quality companies with High Beta that relied on Momentum (Speculative Growth)
