“In some stocks,” Starwood Capital’s Barry Sternlicht warns, “we are seeing irrational exuberance with silly valuations.” The outspoken asset manager warns that the signs are coming from the credit markets of “silly debt deals” with no covenants – which is helping equities melt-up but is a sign of a bubble. Perhaps his answer to what the Fed will do and when is the most succinct (and likely accurate) summation of the current idiocy, “very little and never,” as the anchor grinningly suggests how great higher stock prices are for ‘investors’ before Sternlicht exclaims that may be true for the minority who hold stocks, “enjoy it is an investor,” he suggests, “but don’t love it as an American.” Sternlicht goes on to address the dysfunctional political class and the Fed’s enabling of that to continue as well as where the real estate bubbles are in the US.
