William Miller, and Arthur Burns were ahead of my time as well, but few would consider Chairs Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, and Janet Yellen to have publicly jovial personas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrast this with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/06\/21\/listen-to-the-music-play-fed-chair-jerome-powell-admits-to-being-a-deadhead.html\">avowed \u201cDeadhead\u201d<\/a> Jerome Powell, who appeared quite comfortable discussing Barbie and Taylor Swift at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/06\/21\/listen-to-the-music-play-fed-chair-jerome-powell-admits-to-being-a-deadhead.html\">recent FOMC press conference<\/a>.&nbsp; Can you imagine reporters having the temerity or the comfort level to ask a similar question of say, Alan Greenspan?&nbsp; Or having the question answered respectfully and slightly tongue-in-cheek?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Powell comes to the job with a very different set of life experiences than most of his predecessors.&nbsp; Except for Miller, all of them from Martin through Yellen were academic economists.&nbsp; Powell is a lawyer by training and spent his career as an investment banker and private equity executive.&nbsp; (Miller, whose term featured explosive inflation, was also trained and practiced as an attorney before moving into corporate management.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without veering too far into amateur psychology, I\u2019ll assert that Powell\u2019s career experience orients his approach much differently than the economists who preceded him.&nbsp; Academic economists tend to be cautious in their public pronouncements, relying on evidence or well-tested theories.&nbsp; Investors, and Powell\u2019s career at the Carlyle Group speaks highly to his prowess, are more willing to play a hunch.&nbsp; We invest without perfect information.&nbsp; It\u2019s hopefully well-reasoned and researched, but all investments have a degree of both risk and faith.&nbsp; Powell seems willing to embrace both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/optimism-vs-pessimism-or-stocks-vs-bonds\/\">In June, we penned a piece<\/a> that attempted to distinguish the mindsets of equity investors from those of their fixed income counterparts.&nbsp; Among the things we wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By definition, equity players tend to take a \u201cglass half full\u201d approach to investing, while those in the bond market tend to take the opposite approach.&nbsp; This dichotomy results from the vastly different risk\/reward dynamics investments that are inherent in each asset class.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By investing in a product with a relatively capped upside, bond investors are justifiably more concerned with risk than reward.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Conversely, because stocks have unlimited upside, those who invest in them tend to be more focused on what could go right.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that central bankers exert their policies via fixed income markets, using rate moves and the like, it makes sense to believe that the economists thought more like bond investors \u2013 cautiously and with an eye towards what can go wrong.&nbsp; Powell, with his \u201c<a href=\"\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/goldilocks-is-a-68-year-old-man-in-a-suit\/\">Goldilocks\u201d mentality<\/a>, seems to be more focused on what can go right.&nbsp; This is not a criticism, just my best effort at explaining why the current Chair has a knack for making more market-friendly comments than his predecessors or many of his global peers.&nbsp; He\u2019s a \u201cmarkets guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now that we know why the party is raging \u2013 for example, after getting the news that the Fed adjusted its \u201cdot plot\u201d to anticipate three rate cuts in 2024, short of the market\u2019s expected four cuts, the market began to anticipate six of them \u2013 we will need to consider how it might calm down.&nbsp; Or consider how it might come to an end.&nbsp; But that seems premature now.&nbsp; We are in a seasonally bullish period with few external catalysts expected before the end of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll be giving it some thought over the coming days, trying to anticipate whether the party can continue into the new year and whether a hangover might be expected.&nbsp; But for now, party on, I suppose\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fed is said to be in the position of the chaperone who ordered the punch bowl removed just when the party was really warming up.
