For folks tired of milquetoast consensus predictions, there's a ton of red meat in this weeken's Barron's interview with star DoubleLine bond manager Jeff Gundlach.

First in muni land, he expects massive carnage, and is already setting up a fund to buy closed-end muni funds in the next year when they crash to 40% of their net asset values. What makes the muni market so crisis prone is the nature of investors -- the mom and pop folk who will panic. As for the size of the defaults, he doesn't have a specific number in mind.
