"It was a taste of how markets should have been pricing risk all along," King said of the turmoil in the final three months of 2018. That "was not some strange anomaly in which investors overreacted to a Fed speech and then found seasonal illiquidity amplified the market moves when they tried to withdraw their money," he wrote in a note to clients Thursday.
