Setting aside his comments on passive (which are just bizarrely silly) I humbly thinks he’s missing the international picture. Hard to see USD or USTs getting hit severely when all major counterparties still make them the least smelly shirts in the closet.

“Bizarrely silly”? While I’m no fan of Bob Prince, what did he say that is silly about index funds? “It has the look of a Ponzi scheme,” he said, “because if you can sell it on to someone else that’s fine but what happens if you can’t.”

Mike this is either disingenuous or spectacularly dumb. This “criticism” of passive (you might not be able to sell it for more than you bought it for) applies to literally every financial asset that exists. Are you opposed to them too?

As I said at the start, no fan of Bob Prince, but his statement was not “bizarrely silly”. It’s true. Perhaps not uniquely so, but I’d guess there is more to his criticism than summarized by the FT.
