How David evaluates asset classes including:
Equities, Fixed Income, Credit, Commodities, and Currencies comes down to an eclectic approach involving technicals, fundamentals, fund flows, market positioning, and valuations.

Hedging and diversifying REITS with stable income – residential and industrial REITS benefitting from the Amazon effect.
Investment strategies for the new normal should emphasize work at home, remote lifestyle, cloud computing, and 5G.
*All favoring big-cap tech with utility and essential characteristics. Firma and MedTech
*Value Stocks are beaten up. To gain momentum they need durable reacceleration of global growth. The velocity of money is going down rapidly. Owning growth stocks will be the key to a profitable portfolio in the coming years.
Debt Ratios
*Government debt ratios are going to balloon and the FED is going to own most of this. This will create inflation in the long run.
Gold is a good hedge against the instability of inflation and deflation. With low to negative interest rates, the cost of holding gold is zero. Aggregate demand with overtake aggregate supply. Money supply growth is near 30%. Gold has been going up with the stock market, this is bullish for gold in the long term.
Stagflation will emerge as a secular theme once demand conditions stabilize.
Reduced globalization is coming along with more localized supply chains, the end of JIT inventories, along with new taxation.
