I'm not saying the yield curve is irrelevant, especially if it steepens quickly. But there's more to the story.
The EPS recovery is in 2021 should be the fastest since 2010, and it's driven by Value. Our Growth index's EPS is 15% above trendline, while Value is 38% below. 2/3 pic.twitter.com/SyrxSk4b3y
