Closely watched hedge fund manager Jim Chanos says he has the best barometer for gauging where 1 percenters are putting their money, given the Federal Reserve’s easy money policies that have been fueling their portfolios to record highs. During an interview Thursday on CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box,’ he pointed to the stock chart of Sotheby’s. ‘That’s what people are buying,’ Chanos said. The chart shows that shares of Sotheby’s have peaked before every major financial bubble since 1987, starting with the leveraged-buyout spree that fueled the stock market before the Black Monday crash that year.”
