Global investors are OW Growth
- It is so obvious you should own Tech / Growth
- Is this really the time you want to be overweight Growth?
- Being long the consensus trade at historic extremes...how well has that worked?

The world is long DEFLATION assets
And after a 40-year bond bull market...it sure has been a winner

...introduce INFLATION?

Pundits always focus on Dollar debt by foreigners
They ignore the far larger Dollar assets by foreigners
Is this the time to be very long USD?
