Analysing The Current Financial Problem

Komal Sri-Kumar,Chief Global Strategist at TCW,thinks the fundamental problem is you have an excess of debt in the world.The Federal Reserve left open the possibility of QE3,or more quantitative easing.It's something to be worried about this late in a recovery.
If we don't do any structural reforms,I can't see any improvement.We need to have free trade agreements;a more flexible labor market.I think we are in a recession now and into Q4.
We are looking into defensive areas.We like energy;information technology.Stay away from European equities and fixed income.The corporations have something like two trillion of cash.The money is kept mostly outside the U.S.,away from higher taxes.
I considered QE2 alchemy.You need incentives,getting workers to work and increase productivity.You cannot get anything else out of monetary policy.Many companies are firing domestic workers as they hire them abroad,because it is more efficient,Mr.Sri-Kumar noted.
