When people hope for a short and shallow recession, can we reexamine the setup?

Shallow and short recessions are preceded by lack of any meaningful excesses without any serious overheating.

Do we have that? Hell, no!

We had serious, serious overinvestment in:

1) Technology – 13 years bull run in Tech

2) Venture Capital – propelled by the trillions in returns in IPOs

3) Cryptos – massively overbuilt, despite the long-term promise

4) Government Debt – irresponsible pile up (mostly G7)

5) Consumer Discretionary – on the back of low rates and post-covid stimulus

6) Economy was so tight that sub 4% unemployment was the lowest in 20 years…

Beyond these trillions of dollars of overinvestments – we have nothing to worry about!

No overbuilt in energy, transportation, airlines, hotels.
