Quant Bubble
I have seen many bubbles in my 30-plus years in the investment business. There is a giant bubble in quant funds, and their outsized influence in buying stocks, bonds and commodities might soon be approaching the height of its popularity.
I do wonder, as machines take control of the markets: Will the markets ever again be capable of reflecting any sort of reality (good or bad), when the entities doing the trading couldn’t care less what that reality is?

If Congress would do something right, they wouldn’t hear so many complaints. Now there’s an idea…
They can start by just wiping that dumb ass health care bill clean off the slate. And all the while, they’re ignoring SocSec as it goes down the tubes.
