"Now, they're like reformed smokers," Druckenmiller said of central banks."They've gone from printing a bunch of money, like driving a Porsche at 200 miles an hour, by not only taking the foot off the gas, but just slamming the brakes on," he added. As a result, gains in the bullish stock market since 1982, which went into"hyperdrive" in the last decade, will likely taper off, said Druckenmiller, who is a former lead portfolio manager for George Soros' Quantum Fund.
Stock markets tend to fall when interest rates rise, as higher rates may hit company profits. This reduces the appeal of stocks versus assets like bonds, which are less risky."The nice thing is, there were companies that did very, very well in that environment back then," Druckenmiller said, referring to the period a flat stock market from 1966 to 1982."That's when Apple Computer was founded, Home Depot was founded.
