Hamish McRae: Should Italy push for more fiscal prudence in this age of austerity?

Hamish McRae: So is it time to get the message at last and start bailing out of bonds?

The "great rotation" is sort of happening, but not quite in the way predicted. Last summer and autumn the big idea in investment was that investors would progressively "rotate" their holdings out of bonds and into equities. Bond yields would rise (and ... [Published The Independent - May 12 2013]

Hamish McRae: If the Bank of England ever buys equities, it'll be time to leave

There is a fine irony, is there not, in central banks buying equities? They have driven down the yields on government debt to such low levels that real yields in most major economies are now negative.That leads into a debate about the effectiveness of ... [Published NewsRT.co.uk - May 04 2013]

Hamish McRae: Why shares thrive while the economy flounders

If the economy is so weak, why are share prices so strong? The short answer is that the money the central banks are spraying around has to go somewhere, but that is neither a complete nor a satisfactory one.
