Tighter lending could weigh heavily on private equity and real estate, according to Howard Marks. Experts have cautioned on commercial real estate in particular as looming debt maturities pose a risk. That's created "fundamental questions" in specific parts of the real estate market, like office and retail properties, he added. The wider commercial real estate sector has over $1 trillion in debt set to mature in 2024, per Goldman Sachs. Billionaire investor Barry Sternlicht recently said he foresaw weekly bank closures and extreme losses in commercial real estate as high interest rates impact the sector.

The Federal Reserve will not bring interest rates back down to their post-financial crisis lows, according to veteran investor Howard Marks — and he believes that's a good thing. "The U.S. economy is doing quite well, and so it's not clear that it requires stimulus," Marks told CNBC's Frank Holland on Tuesday.

The coordinates led to Montauk, New York, a key location in the 2004 sci-fi film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." But the promise of a "spotless mind," free of anger and heartache, is too enticing. My very first viewing of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" occurred in 2010, when I was 14.

☆ Some options trades for avoiding an asset bubble and other macroeconomic troubles

There are some trades for investors looking to avoid a possible asset bubble and other potholes that could be ahead. The standard 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose even further, a function of both the rising risk-free rate and the rising spread. Buying bonds has interest rate risk. Moreover, the spread between mortgage rates and Treasuries is unusually high. Risk-free rates stay static or even rise mildly, but if the spread narrows mortgage rates could fall, a tailwind for a mortgage portfolio.

"Your overall wealth really starts with behavior and your budget," Howard says. But 29-year-old Alexis Howard has been doing it for over 10 months, ever since she challenged herself to limit her non-essential spending to $50 each month. Essentials like rent, utilities, groceries and medical costs aren't included in Howard's $50 limit. "What I've really tried to stress on this challenge is that just because you have a tight budget doesn't mean you can't engage with your loved ones, doesn't mean you can't go to free events, doesn't mean you can't substitute quality time with people that matter to you," she says. But she's still spending considerably less than she would in a normal month living in the Bay Area, where she estimates her non-essential spending used to total around $400 to $500.

The Employee Retention Credit was intended to be a financial lifeline to small businesses struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic. Innovation Refunds — a consulting firm that focuses on the ERC — was one of the most visible advertisers during the tax credit's heyday. How Innovation Refunds worksOn its website, Innovation Refunds makes it clear it is not a tax professional. Innovation Refunds markets to clients, determines if they are viable candidates for the credit and then collects businesses' documentation. Some former employees said this could insulate Innovation Refunds from potential liability if ineligible businesses claimed the credit.

"Bonds are great hedges against geopolitical risk, against financial crises, but they're very bad against inflation."

☆ Historically volatile week will test the bull market in stocks

This historic weakness is well-enshrined in stock market lore and encapsulated in the old chestnut, "Sell Rosh Hashana and buy Yom Kippur." Triple witching refers to each quarter's simultaneous expiration of stock index futures and options and individual stock options. It may be true we are in a bull market, but it is certainly not a typical one. Instead of trying to pick winners, Marks sensibly proposes the opposite: You might also achieve that goal — of producing alpha, or outperformance — by holding fewer of the losers. That is why the vast majority of active stock pickers continue to underperform the market, and why money continues to flow into passive index funds.

The long-awaited rule is expected to require that real estate professionals such as title insurers report the identities of the beneficial owners of companies buying real estate in cash to the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Criminals have for decades anonymously hidden ill-gotten gains in real estate, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in March, adding that as much as $2.3 billion was laundered through U.S. real estate between 2015 and 2020. That debate has slowed down FinCEN's work on the real estate reporting rule, one of the sources said. PATCHWORKWhile banks have long been required to understand the source of customer funds and report suspicious transactions, no such rules exist nationwide for the real estate industry. FinCEN implemented GTOs in 2016 after the New York Times revealed that nearly half of luxury real estate was bought by anonymous shell companies.
