STARTT'S STARTERS
PLEASE READ - 
ALL SAVERS AND INVESTORS BEWARE OF CORRECTION - JEREMY GRANTHAM, ROBERT SHILLER AND ROBERT WIEDEMER CONTINUE TO TELL YOU THAT THE BEST DAYS OF THIS GREAT SILENT BULL MARKET ARE BEHIND NOT AHEAD - WHAT SHOULD YOU DO...? 

MEET WITH YOUR ADVISOR!


Note to viewers: This is a video replay of GMO chief investment strategist Jeremy Grantham's keynote address from the 2015 Morningstar Investment Conference in Chicago. GMO was not able to provide the presentation slides as a downloadable PDF, but some the slides are viewable in the video recording. 

Jeremy Grantham:
Hello, nice to be here.

Most of us spend a lot of our time working on unimportant matters­­-- pretty boring. I know I did. But the good news is I don't anymore. I have 600 colleagues to do the heavy lifting, and I am totally free to obsess about important issues that interest me. This is a great job description.  I'm going to tell you what the 10 are, and these are questions you can ask me in question time. Anything else is out of bounds.

First of all, limitations of Homo sapiens. I am not pessimistic, by the way. It's you guys who are optimistic. What they found out is that, Homo sapiens have a strong predisposition to be optimistic, bullish and have a wicked capability of avoiding unpleasant information, which results in bubble after bubble without any memory of the pain that preceded it. It allows for ignorance of all the problems that come with resource limitations, and it allows for the denial of the facts on climate change, for example. 

Two, longer-term resource limitations. Economists think the economy works with capital labor, and a perpetual motion machine. They simply don't do limitation of resources. We run out of nothing in mainstream economincs.

Three, especially oil. It's worth a separate point...

Global Economics:
Divergent Monetary Policies still driving the Global Economic Outlook

E XECUTIVE SUMMARY
More than six years after the global financial crisis, economies around the world are still reckoning with its consequences-with just about every nation's growth rate significantly lower than it was prior to the downturn. Unlike the synchronized global credit boom of the pre-crisis years, however, a moderate global growth rate masks considerable differentiation. The United States and United Kingdom have deleveraged enough that they are preparing to raise ultra-low interest rates. European economic data have improved versus six months ago as fiscal tightening dissipates, while Japan's outlook is better as a result of delaying a tax hike. Emerging markets with relatively low inflation and low debt have had room to ease monetary and fiscal policy; others that have improved their policy frameworks and tackled structural shortcomings also have better economic outlooks. Global economic risks include volatility following unpredictable geopolitical events around the world.

KEVIN'S CORNER

Is your Life Insurance Contract
running out of juice?

FAITH FACTOIDS
James, the half brother of Jesus explains why although we are saved by grace and not by works, that the byproduct of life's salvation event through the redemptive work of Jesus should be to help others. The late Christian singer, Rich Mullins, said that faith without works is like a a screen door on a submarine.
James 2:15-16 New International Version (NIV)

15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.  16   If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
