Factor investing & punctuated equilibrium. There. Now those are interesting terms and all well and good but the bottom line is everybody is chasing yield and trying to figure out HOW to do that.

In fact our CEO believes we are already there, and that markets will never behave "normally" again as long as the Federal Reserve is involved (a/k/a "interfering") with them.

So that's one answer to punctuated equilibrium in the markets.
Or just hoard some gold.....or bitcoin.
