Tepper questions high equity multiples on S&P 220 earnings estimates given current interest rate levels.
“I saw somebody else on your show the other day, they had a two twenty price to two twenty earnings estimates for the S and P.”
Tepper projects long-run growth could be 0.25-0.5% higher with deregulation, 3.5% in 2017-18.
“I'm saying I think the long run with in a deregulatory could be a quarter half point higher.”
Tepper dismisses the view that Fed won't hike in non-press-conference meetings as fallacy.
“September increase, December increase, and maybe more than that. This is fallacy that says the Fed won't go in on, press conference.”
Tepper argues Fed is far behind where it should be given projected 2.25% inflation by year-end.
“They'll go a lot because they're so far behind where that 1% real if you're running two and a quarter percent inflation by the end of the year and and you have all these things happen, I think the real rate should be higher sooner because you have all these things happen.”
