Today a legend in the business who oversees nearly $200 billion spoke with King World News about what he is doing with his own money right now in this crazy financial landscape.

Insanity In The Stock Market
August 22 (King World News) – Eric King:  “Rob, obviously we still have the bubble markets in full force. When do you think the insanity in the stock market is going to end?”

Liquidity Pouring Into Stocks
Rob Arnott:  “It’s driven more by liquidity — money burning a hole in people’s pockets — than by underlying fundamentals, quite clearly. Note that wherever the stimulus is most aggressive — the US — markets are most expensive. And where stimulus is not possible on a vast scale, in emerging economies, markets are relatively cheap.

I did not sell for the very simple reason that I would have to turn around and buy something else. So why bother?

But real estate protects against inflation. You own it and so it’s harder for Big Brother to step in and say, ‘We want to tax you harder on your assets,’ than if you have money in stocks or bonds, which are liquid. And the public outcry on heightened taxation on real estate would be daunting for any politician. So I don’t see taxes on real estate going sky high. So I like real estate, even though it’s expensive, even though it feels a little bubbly.
