If you're looking for a truly out-of-consensus view re the economy and markets, my interview with the <a href="https://www.tcw.com/About_TCW/Our_People/Bios/Komal_Sri-Kumar.aspx"TARGET="_blank"> <b><u>Chief Global Strategist and Chairman–Comprehensive Asset Allocation Committee for TCW</b></u></a> will not disappoint. The economic risks of a double dip (courtesy the slingshot effect), the uncertainty re the economic handoff (from government spending to sustainable private sector growth), and a stagflation (you read that correctly!) resistant portfolio mix are among the many interesting and challenging views expressed by my guest. The length of the interview is 17 minutes 08 seconds.
