einhorn, we could be in for a prolonged correction, but nothing like we had in 2002. we just think that is very unlikely. you have to be very careful if you are over your skis in terms of tech exposure. the next two or three months could be really painful. jonathan: i think the point einhorn is making also, the 1990's shouldn't be the benchmark for whether we are in a bubble or not because it was so crazy. the question he is asking is whether or not we are moving in terms of sentiment from greed toward complacency. you are looking across fixed income right now. can you identify the shift from greed to complacency? what would that look like? troy: in terms of fixed income, you are starting to see prices adjust on worst probability of stimulus, and that is why you're seeing the curve flattening with dependent. hadst was a month where you very frothy behavior in markets. you had parabolic behavior not only in broader indices, but also some of the larger cap tech names in particular, many of them tied to the pandemic. that was arguably the peak for off -- the peak froth.

today we have david einhorn talking about a tech bubble, he calls it enormous bubble.eel about that? if virus cases continue to rise, why should the playbook be different? isaac: it is a fair comment. tech has been reading this rally, and there is a reason for that, not least the business model has benefited more than others during the pandemic. the other is low interest rates naturally push up the valuation of stocks. that does not mean it is a bubble. we think valuations look reasonable, not too stretched. it also does not necessarily follow that tech will be the leader of a rally for the medium term or near term. what is really critical to look out for is that value premium which has disappeared, and value stocks and cyclical stocks in financials underperformed badly over the recent period. that could change. when value performs, when that valuation premium comes back, it tends to come back rapidly and powerfully, and the driving force behind that historically is a steepening of the yield curve. that has always happened after a recession and during the recovery. we
