Like any good equities bull snorting and ready to charge Nuveen's Bob Doll is again taking on investor anxiety.

Nuveen Investments' [profile] equity guru Bob Doll gave his opinion on the latest macroeconomic themes of the day: Syria, the Fed tapering, the federal budget and the state of emerging markets in InvestmentNews'.

On general economic growth: "Economic growth is gaining traction, yet remains modest. the speed at which bond yields backed up has been unsettling, but a dialing down of the Fed's accommodative policy equates to a vote of confidence for the economy.

On the debt ceiling: "…We believe a resolution for government funding at current levels will pass into law before September 30. We expect it will be far more difficult to arrive at a deal to raise the debt ceiling."
