How does Paul Tudor Jones see the world now?
Paul Tudor Jones is one of the great investors of all time and he’s renowned for macro calls. His latest market outlook highlights the coming waves of direct debt monetization that will reshape the economies and financial markets of the world.
“There will be many assets that will move as a result of this money creation. So what is an investor to do? Traditional hedges like gold have done well, and we expect investors to continue to seek refuge in this safe asset. One thing I have learned over time is the best thing to do is let market price action guide your decision-making and then try to understand the fundamentals as they become more evident and comprehensible,” he writes in a note with Lorenzo Giorgianni.
That’s an odd thing for one of the great macro traders of all time to say, but if you look back over his (rare) public comments, it’s a familiar theme. Here’s what he said back in 2009:
I came across this national debt clock today and it is crazy. It breaks out the complete US balance sheet in real time. Numbers include: US National Debt, US Spending, Debt Per Citizen, Debt Per Taxpayer, US Budget Deficit, US GDP, US Federal Tax Revenue, GDP Per Citizen, Income Tax, Payroll Tax, Total Federal/State/Local Tax Revenue, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, Trade Deficits, Imported Oil, Personal Savings, Food Stamp Recipients, Auto Sales, Household Assets, Interest on Debt, Defense/Wars, US Private Debt, Mortgage Debt, Personal Debt, Credit Card Debt, Money Creation and more. It is the craziest counter I have ever seen. Go to
