1/The Fed released its Financial Stability Report for Nov 2020. It is always interesting to read the Fed's take on markets and its degree of self awareness. federalreserve.gov/publications/2…
2/Asset Valuations
-Asset prices have generally increased since May, and, when adjusted for low interest rates, valuation pressures appear roughly in line with their historical norms
Seems correct. When expected future cashflows are discounted at these rates, the PV isn't insane
3/Asset Valuations
-Asset prices remain vulnerable to significant declines, given a high degree of uncertainty around the course of the pandemic and the pace of the recovery
Lack of awareness that the Fed can be the greatest source of instability if they ease liquidity.

1/The Fed and FOMC is proactive trying to stave off a credit collapse. Successful so far this is a thread of what steps the Fed has done to date:

1/I got an update from a friend born/raised in China. She has a biology degree, is not an infectious disease expert, and doesn't claim to be. She is in Taiwan with her Mother right now, staying home, and avoiding crowds, etc. This is her take.
2/Corona virus is highly contagious, easily transmitted. It is going to spread. While she is being prudent and avoiding contact in the short term she is not worried about herself or 1st world countries.
3/The situation in Wuhan hospitals and elsewhere is chaos, not because coronavirus is deadly, if completely untreated, but because China is a 3rd world communist country (her words).
