The Meb Faber Show - Better Investing

Show Notes

My guest today is Vincent Deluard, Director of Global Macro Strategy at StoneX.

In today’s episode, Vincent explains why he’s turning bearish on stocks after years of being a bull. He shares why tax collections are his favorite gauge of the economy, why the world is really paying $150 to $200 for oil and why Europe resembles Japan in 2012, just uglier.

To close, Vincent makes the case for owning the yen, Korean won and UK stocks.
