There\u2019s a big tremor but then there are aftershocks.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps more ominous than any outcome he expects over the<br \/>\nnext year or so, however, is Gundlach\u2019s slightly longer-term outlook. <\/p>\n<p>Could America lose faith with democracy? \u201cPeople are<br \/>\nstrongly committed to the concept of democracy and yet China has had massive<br \/>\ngrowth and way better infrastructure under totalitarianism,\u201d Gundlach mused. \u201cWhat<br \/>\nare we doing when our outcomes are inferior? Is it possible we could change in<br \/>\nthat regard? Yes, it is possible. I think we are going to see substantial<br \/>\nchanges in the next six years.\u201d That might even include the U.S. breaking into<br \/>\nmore than one country, he said. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s actually a nice analogue for how Gundlach feels about financial markets. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to break away from a paradigm we\u2019ve been in\u201d for the past decade or so, he said, which was characterized by what Pimco dubbed \u201cthe new normal\u201d: 2-2.5% GDP growth, stable inflation, and very low market volatility. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2017 was the most sedate stock market of all time. It got to be so consistent that a narrative developed that the market had structurally changed. There was a narrative that the VIX<br \/>\n        VIX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210598281\/delayed\" class=\"negative\">-2.34%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       would not go above 15 again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The VIX, or Cboe Volatility Index, measures expected volatility for the S&amp;P 500 in the coming 30-day period. It stood near 37 late Monday, well above its long-term average near 19.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>Now, Gundlach said, \u201cI think we\u2019re going to move into an area that has fat tails.\u201d Skyrocketing inflation is just as likely as disinflation or outright deflation, he thinks. <\/p>\n<p><strong>See: <\/strong>\u2018Anything can h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en:\u2019 Why the hottest investing trend is playing it safe <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate long bonds<br \/>\n        TMUBMUSD30Y,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.000%\" channel=\"\" class=\"\">1.619%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       but I still think you\u2019re supposed to own some, and in a deflationary environment, you would want your portfolio to have that hedge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, as the dollar<br \/>\n        DXY,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210598269\/delayed\" class=\"positive\">+0.01%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       weakens, gold<br \/>\n        GLD,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/200593176\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.97%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       will also provide a good hedge.
