Jim O'Neill - Don't Worry So Much About Tapering; the Market Is Well Aware That It Will Happen

Jim O'Neill thinks that by now the market will not be surprised when the Fed starts to taper.

His point: Tapering is all people have been talking about for a year. This is not going to be a surprise.

When tapering does start he expects it will be done very slowly and very carefully. He does not foresee an immediate bear market for bonds like was experienced in 1994.
