A Remarkably Accurate Warning Indicator For Economic And Market Peril
That’s a thing that Bob Hoye used to love to talk about, inverted yield curve, then reversing to steepening (around 2007-2008), although I think he looked for more stock market bearishness also in 2009, 2010, 2011, mainly on the argument that it was a historic credit contraction. He underestimate The Ben Bernank and his printing press, still going strong (for now).
