WEBVTT - Ferris Bueller tried to tell us tariffs don’t work

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>From The Australian. Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey.

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday, April eighth, twenty twenty five. There's a risk

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>of recession. Those chilling words from the Treasurer Jim Chalmers,

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>as all sides of politics and a panicking market react

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. Releasing Treasury's pre election forecast,

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the government says that next rate cut could be as

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>big as fifty bases points. The leaders meet on Tuesday

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>night for the campaign's first debate, as Peter Dutton dumps

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>his policy of ending public servants work from home, and

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanez he seeks to reassure Australians he can handle

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the relationship with Donald Trump. One in three university applicants

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have claimed bonus entry points based on factors like disability, divorce,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>domestic violence or mental ill health. That's an exclusive live

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>now at Beaustralian dot com dot AU. Tariffs are bad

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and free trade is good. That's supposed to be the

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>economic consensus. But throw a populist politician like Donald Trump

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>into the mix and suddenly everything we thought we knew

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>about globalization and raising living standards gets chucked out the window. Today,

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm joined by our business editor Ves Napolak, who's at

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the center of the biggest story on Earth, to work

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>out how Australia and our economy fit into this new

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>world order.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Bueller Bueller.

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Ferris Bueller's Day Off will be forty years old next.

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Year, Bueller Buehler.

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>But the John Hughes classic, which launched Matthew Broderick to stardom,

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>captured something about adolescent malaise that's still perfect today.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen thirty, the Republican controlled House of Representatives, in

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 2>an effort to alleviate the effects of the Anyone, Anyone

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 2>the Great Depression.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 1>School was just so boring. The teachers wanted to talk

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>about things like tariffs.

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Passed the Anyone, Anyone the Holly Smoot Tariff Act, which

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>raised tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the federal government. Did it work, Anyone? It did not work,

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>If only more Americans had paid attention, we might not

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>be here tonight.

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump's tariffs and financial markets into free from.

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Twenty five billion dollars wiped off the.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Ax cten concerns of a recession at a global trade war.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 4>I find so few parallels with what we've seen before,

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.959
<v Speaker 4>and that's what's truly scary about this time. In March

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty, in the COVID drawdown, smart investors knew that

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 4>once we were past the worst of this, we were

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 4>walking into one of the greatest consumption booms in history

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 4>and everyone was going to be feeling really good and

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 4>most importantly, they were going to spend. This is not

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 4>the case here. This one is properly scary and no

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 4>wonder one hundred and sixty billion dollars was wiped off

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 4>the ax on Monday.

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Ve's Napolak is the Australian's business editor and her newsrooms

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>around the country are melting down right now along with

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the stock market.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Everyone's a markets writer today, Claire. We're talking to people

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 4>who are really quite well off. You would think that,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, they're not going to be so bothered by

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 4>it four five percent draw down. You might be surprised

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 4>that some of them are. And we're also talking to

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 4>experts in the market who advise investors and manage money

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 4>for a living, and those are the guys that are

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 4>the most inclined to panic right now because suddenly everyone's

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 4>ten percent poorer. It's measurable, and that's what makes it scary.

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Reason it's ninety five years since the Smooth Hawly Tariff

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Act failed to help the US, and the reason it

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>failed is that other countries retaliated by imposing tariffs on

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>American goods, and that reduced global trade. But how is

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it that we've ended up in a place where that

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>message has been forgotten?

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 4>I think we forget how hard we fought to get here,

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of the benefits of free trade can

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 4>be minimized really easily, and that's exactly what's happened since

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty four. So we get to a point everybody

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 4>is feeling quite well off because the market has had

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 4>some spectacular games until now. So the feeling is not

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 4>one of, well, you know, there's a lot to lose.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>The feeling was one of let's see where this goes.

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 4>And in hindsight, that was nice. But what's also true

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 4>up until last year was your iPhone, your car, and

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 4>your Lululemon never costs more than it did because of inflation.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 4>And I think a lot of things in history have

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 4>really capitalized on inflationary periods where we ziggered with zag

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 4>this instance, we've definitely zagged. But it's why central banks,

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 4>including the RBA, have been so so serious about the

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 4>scourge of inflation, because it does lead to events like

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 4>this because people get fed up and cost of living

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 4>is something we've been talking about for three years and

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 4>it's no small thing. The wealth effect of the share

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 4>market is a wonderful thing, and quite a lot of

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 4>people participated that. But that's different to the scorecard of

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Bill's iPhones, legging sweet whatever it may be. Like, everyone

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 4>has a reference point for these, and frankly, it's only

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 4>been going up.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>On social media. Americans are alternating between defending Trump's tariffs

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and explaining the whole concept to one another.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a negotiation strategy, so it's going to

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 3>be outrageous and something to catch everyone's attention and then

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 3>eventually there'll be some negotiation.

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I am not worried about price school or not. Why so,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:51.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be man anything.

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>We pay the terraffs, but the companies pay the terroriffs,

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>not us.

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Shina doesn't pay the terriffs.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I voted for CRAMP, but I didn't vote to lose

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 4>my and I didn't vote for a global trade war,

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't vote for Elon Musk run a muck.

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 4>Why are y'all going to admit that he has no

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 4>idea what he's doing?

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Here in Australia we've had a sort of sea sawing

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>relationship with tariffs, just like the United States have. We've

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>had tariffs in one form or another ever since settlement. Really,

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>in fact, we had a military coup because of tariff's

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>in the early years of the New South Wales Colony.

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>The Rum rebellion was really about import restrictions and tariffs

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>on the trade in alcohol. Where do you think Australians

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>are at now in their understanding of, you know, whether

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>tariffs are a good or a bad thing.

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 4>I think it depends what part of the economy you

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 4>play in. So fundamentally, the national accounts are a huge

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 4>beneficiary of the iron ore trade. So we dig up

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 4>iron or we sell it and that's what funds fiscal

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 4>sped dig So that's cool. But you might feel a

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 4>little bit removed from that if you're not working in

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 4>the pilbro except that would be a mistake because we're

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 4>not that removed from it. At all. If global growth slows,

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 4>there's less demand for iron ore and things get fiscally

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 4>a lot more vulnerable. Just because you're not a five

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 4>FO worker or running an automated train or something, it

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 4>doesn't mean that you're removed from this. This is something

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 4>that will all feel.

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So the government's ability to pay for things like

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>roads and schools and hospitals and discounts on your electricity bill,

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that's linked to globalization in a way that some voters

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>might not understand.

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 4>We're so interconnected.

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely coming up. So should you buy that new car

0:08:46.520 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>now or hang on to your money? So looking ahead,

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is saying, everybody, stop panicking. I'm going to

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>go and play golf this weekend. It's going to be phenomenal.

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Everything's going to be okay. Is there a way in

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>which this is going to be okay in which it

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>does settle itself out?

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 4>I think both of those things can be true. But

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't rule out or minimize the fact that we

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 4>could have tremendous more pain ahead and buy more pain ahead.

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the market could draw down a further ten percent,

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 4>and that would be a terrible thing. We also coming

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 4>into this position without the benefit of the company tax

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 4>cuts that the last Trump administration brought in at the

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.479
<v Speaker 4>market was hugely receptive to. So there's a lot more downside.

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 4>And the other element to that is the starting point.

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 4>The world was never richer, So the S and P

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 4>five hundred, you're and video shares, whatever it may be,

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 4>there is just so much more to lose from such

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 4>a rich starting point. Where market strategists, investors, hatch funds

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 4>were repeating themselves endlessly say there's no fundamental basis for

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 4>these valuations, and they were right. We can't say we

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 4>weren't warned because we did hear that information and we

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 4>didn't really act on it.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Have you been surprised by how much the market seemed

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to have been surprised by this.

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes. I think what it came down to was that

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 4>feeling on Friday, when after Liberation Day, everybody was unified

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 4>in saying, this is worse than we thought. It was

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 4>a gambit, it was a trade play, it was bringing

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 4>people to the table. It was none of that. It

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 4>was actually just really bad.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>So there's a reassuring kind of idea that we could

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>tell ourselves that actually what Donald Trump really wants his

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>critical minerals and that this is the bargaining chip, This

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>is the start of the negotiating process to make sure

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>he gets the critical minerals that the United States needs

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>to make the chips that make everything go. Is that

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:03.079
<v Speaker 1>a possibility.

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 4>It's a possibility, but it wouldn't offset the broader, more

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 4>debilitating wealth effect that's happening. It's not nothing, but it's

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 4>a very small thing in what could be a setback

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 4>for global growth that takes us so many years to

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 4>recover from.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Is there a possibility, there's no. Given that every Australian

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>has some money in superannuation, even if you're not actually

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>exposed to the stock market, you have a super balance.

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Is there a possibility that will reduce inflation here in

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Australia that make people more conservative, less likely to go

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and spend.

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 4>There is a possibility. I think it's too early, genuinely

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.319
<v Speaker 4>to know, and it's fundamentally more of a bad thing

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 4>than a good thing. Demand is everything. I think when

0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 4>you don't have demand intact, everything else is a second thought.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 4>And so that's why recession is such a loaded word,

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 4>because it destroys everything.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanezi is basically saying stay calm, don't worry about it.

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Peter Dutton is saying, well, this is actually a really

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>big concern. How do you think they are playing it?

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>How should they play it?

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm so glad you asked this, Claire. I'll tell you

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 4>because this year we don't have eleven RBA meetings in

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 4>a year. We're on the new Progressive RBA schedule and

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 4>we're not going to hear from the RBA until after

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 4>the election, which feels like a really extraordinary thing, like

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 4>where's our central bank? We want to hear what they

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 4>think they can have such an influential role and voice

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 4>in this crisis and be neutral and a source of truth.

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 4>But there's no meeting, so I think people feel quite

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 4>a bit winded by that. So I'm really curious, just

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 4>as a student of the market, to see who will

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 4>be the voice that decides to carve out a position

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 4>of calm here.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you think there'sn't that we've lost the consensus about

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>free trade, that it's no longer widely accepted really even

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>by economists, that free trade is universally a good thing,

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and that it's a rising tide that lifts all boats.

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I do think so Claar. I think that's a

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 4>really honest observation, and we're probably all a little bit

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 4>guilty of losing our trade literacy in all of this.

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 4>And there are from time to time you see really

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 4>interesting business case studies of a car maker or a

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.319
<v Speaker 4>beverages company. It's carved out a beautiful little global niche

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 4>by arbitraging some weird tariff scheme or regime. Look, that's nice,

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 4>but nothing's better than global growth. We know what global

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 4>growth does. It advances everyone's a lot in life. And

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 4>this is a walk back from that.

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 1>If you were advising someone just asking for a friend

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>who was thinking about buying a car or maybe thinking

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.559
<v Speaker 1>about getting a new phone, what would your advice be.

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 4>It's a great question. It's probably what everybody's thinking. And

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 4>just like the share market, which is a sea of

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 4>read today, there's no buyers. Why is there no buyers?

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Because it could be five, ten, fifteen percent cheaper, So

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 4>hold on, Well, there may be a better deal in

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 4>it for you if you can just hang out a

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 4>little bit longer.
