Here are some highlights from our notes on the discussion.

ON WHERE THINGS ARE GOING

James Melcher, Founder and CIO, Balestra Capital: 

"We're clearly in a deflationary environment" but government intervention sows the seeds of inflation. The outlook is "very grim." Most evaluations of the market are way too high. On the financial crisis: "There's nothing unusual about it. It happens every 10 or 20 years in our system. It always has, and I think we're seeing another bubble right now." So called "green shoots" will turn out to be just weeds.
