Excerpt from ReachX Podcast -- "I believe we are still in a benign credit cycle, and we have been, actually, for over eight years—we're into the ninth year—which is the longest in the history of modern financial markets.

So, we're in a benign cycle, and we'll probably remain there for at least another year. My concerns are beyond that period, based on the enormous build up in debt, globally and particularly in the US markets."
