First it’s Tunisia.
Then Egypt.
And now Libya.
What makes Libya different from a market’s perspective is that we are now
talking about an oil exporter in the sudden grips of political upheaval.
In this domino game, the next critical country we have to keep an eye on is
Bahrain. It is home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. A new regime there could in turn
seriously impair America’s ability to patrol and monitor developments in the
Persian Gulf and surrounding areas. Bahrain is ruled by a Sunni monarchy and
yet the majority of the population is Shiite (and Art Cashin at UBS says that there
is Iranian intelligence that has been planted within the civilian population).
Saudi Arabia has the capacity to fill the void left by Libya, but that misses the
point. The risk of further unrest is rising, especially with sectarian issues in full
force in Bahrain. This means that oil prices at a minimum will retain a
geopolitical risk premium — most oil experts now peg this at $10-$15 a barrel. If
countries start to stockpile more crude in light of current events, one can expect
the oil price premium to rise even further even if the situation calms down
overseas. So no matter what, barring a sudden downturn in demand, and the
one thing about oil (food too) is that demand is relatively inelastic over the nearterm,
the risk is that we will see further increases in the price of crude even from
current lofty levels.
So the bottom line is that there is still more near-term upside potential than
downside risk for the oil price (and most energy stocks). This then will act as a
tax on consumers and as a margin squeeze for non-oil producers and only when
global demand sputters, as it did in the summer of 2008, will the oil price break
down — although it is likely to settle in a new and semi-permanently higher range
as it did coming out of the global credit collapse.
I believe we are getting closer to the point where the surge in oil prices could tip
the global economy back into recession (we may have already reached that
point anyway). My reading of Wall Street research shows that the trigger point for
recession calls would be somewhere around $120 a barrel. As it stands, both
the move in the oil price on a two-year basis and the current level in real terms
suggest that the “odds” based on past performance would certainly be better
than 50-50 as it pertains to the U.S. economy in any event.

Global Fund Managers Most Bullish in 10 Years
Some interesting perceptions that will affect investment returns.
Via Reuters:
* Investors were their most bullish on equities and commodities in nearly 10 years this month as optimism about growth surged, while inflation concerns led them to drastically sell down emerging stocks, a survey showed on Tuesday.
* The monthly global fund managers' survey from Bank of America-Merrill Lynch showed a net 67 percent of respondents were overweight equities in February, compared with 55 percent in January. This month's reading means the difference between overweights and underweights is 67 percentage points -- a level seen for the first time since the poll started in April 2001.
* The poll, which surveyed 188 participants who manage total assets of $569 billion, also showed a collapse in emerging markets allocations. A net 5 percent of respondents are overweight here -- the lowest since March 2009 -- compared with 43 percent in January and an average reading of 27 percent. Inflation expectations hit a 6-year high, with a net 75 percent of respondents expecting higher inflation in the next 12 months.
* "It's one of the most bullish surveys we've had in a long time. Basically the story is growth expectations keep going on higher... What we're seeing is fairly extreme asset allocation decisions," said Patrick Schowitz, equity strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch.
* "Warning lamps are really flashing. But we've seen a ...shift out of fixed income and into equities. You would expect some extreme asset allocation into risky assets while that shift is going on," Schowitz said.
* Commodities are the second most favored asset class after stocks, with a record net 28 percent of investors being overweight from 16 percent last month.
* Cash underweight positions moved to a net 9 percent, levels not seen since January 2002, from 5 percent in January.
* Hedge funds were also becoming bullish, raising their gearing levels. The ratio of gross assets held by hedge funds relative to their capital rose to 1.49, their highest since March 2008, from 1.26 last month. (hedge funds are levering up, and in a substantial way between January and February)
* Their net exposure to equity markets -- measured as long minus short as a percentage of capital -- rose to 39 percent, the highest since July 2007, from 31 percent in January.

Egypt and Democracy: a price for the Middle East
To friends and colleagues on the bcc list. The American sense of democracy, human rights, transparent government and the rest of the list we all know pulls me in favor of the inevitable (now) changes coming in most of the autocratic regimes in the Middle East. But the issue of what the new regimes will be like gnaws continuously. We must not be sanguine about the outcomes. I think the risk of regional conflagration is high and rising.
This sobering summary below comes to me from a longtime friend, a skilled lawyer and prosecutor, who now spends some of his time in Jerusalem. Some may recognize him but I will preserve his anonymity for those who do know him. Note that, while Egypt remains in the top of the news, the spread of resistance and demonstration is rapidly occurring throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
D: An article appearing in today’s NYTimes by Helene Cooper and Mark Lander suggests, somewhat snidely, that it is ironic that Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, would be so wary of their neighbor wanting the same thing. Here’s a few facts that might explain why.
A poll taken by the Pew Research Center in late 2009 revealed that 95% of Egyptians, 96% of Jordanians and Palestinians and 98 % of Syrians and Lebanese hold hostile views toward both Israel and Jews. They simply do not want Israel here. What CNN is not showing but what we have seen here via Israeli journalists are many signs of Mubarak with the Star of David drawn around his face or next to him, both with diagnals across them. Any democracy, and its leaders, must answer to the people. If these are the people, what does that portend for any democratically elected government in Egypt? Whatever their internal and political differences, the one unifying factor for virtually all Egyptians is their hatred of Israel. It also explains why Israel was able to negotiate its two peace treaties with Arab dictators. They could not have done so with a democratic Egypt or Jordan. When that democratically elected government in Egypt comes to power, as it soon will, it will control a standing army of 500,000, an airforce of over 500 planes, half of them new F-16s, over 4,000 tanks, 1000 of which are new Abrams A1As,a dozen batteries of the most sophisticated anti aircraft missiles in the world and an untold number of Scud B rockets–much more accurate than those which Saddam Hussein threw at Tel Aviv in Gulf War I . All supplied by the US, of course. Who would they want to use them against? Libya? Sudan? So, yes, you might say we’re kind of wary. Wouldn’t you be? -Gerry
