1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: Joining us now the one that puts Greek and Latin 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: into our bond coverage. Robert Michael, Bobmichael of JP Morgan. 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: How do the Greeks right now? The derivative Greeks play 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 2: into what you do When you look at the quiet 6 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: of holes in the market or renew volatility, maybe it's 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: skew that you play into. How does a derivative space 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: fit in? 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 3: They're critical to what we do in the markets. I 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: think so much of what you try to do is 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 3: in the cash market, but there's limited bandwidth. Broker Dealer 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 3: balance sheets aren't what they used to be, and a 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 3: lot of the balance sheet in the industry sits with 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: investors like ourselves, and we tend to own securities until 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: we change our mind. So we're not in the market 16 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: actively trying to change positions. You go in to the 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: derivatives market to help you change the positioning of your 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: portfolio or perhaps put a bit of a hedge on. 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: Is there a a bot Michael and I think of 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: Ian Lingotn at BMO Capital. You're saying we're going to 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: see price up, yield down. Is there a bet in 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 2: the space. Now like what you believe that we will 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: see as a regime lower. 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: Yields, Well, it's everywhere. We liken the current environment to 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five. There's one critical difference. When the FED 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: finished hiking rates from three percent to six percent in 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 3: ninety five, the entire yeld curve was above the FED 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: funds rate. Today, we think the Fed is done hiking rates, 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,279 Speaker 3: but the entire yeal curve is trading roughly one hundred 30 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: basis points through the FED funds rate. So that's telling 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 3: us that the market still believes that the Fed will 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: come in take pressure off of businesses and households by 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: doing at least a few rate cuts over the next 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: twelve months. 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: Bob, we're sitting here at the two year treasury almost 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: at five percent. Here, I don't know. I'm gonna park 37 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: my money right there, and I'm gonna feel fine. Is 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: that a bad trade? 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: It's not a bad trade, but you may feel lonely 40 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: compared to the money that's sitting in money market funds. 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: You're willing to step out. But what we're looking at 42 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: is over six trillion dollars of assets sitting in money 43 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 3: market funds. YEP and they're feeling cozier at somewhere closer 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: to a five and a half percent yield. For that 45 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: money to come out and come into the bond market, 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: we do need to see the Fed begin to cut rates, 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: or at least telegraph that they're thinking about it again 48 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: and not dropping these sins that maybe rates could go higher. 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: So what do you think our Fed should do? I mean, 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: the economic data suggests that maybe there's no reason two 51 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: cut rates. We've got I don't know, inflation still out there. 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: If I were at the Fed, everything looks so good, 53 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: I would just sit in my hands for the next 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: couple quarters, see what happens into the election and do nothing. 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: You're looking at over two years of unemployment below four percent. 56 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: I know we get PCEE at the end of this week. 57 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: There's a lot of debate. Is it going to be 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: two seven or two point eight year every year? Is 59 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: it a point two five or a point twenty seven increase? 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 3: The reality is to something year every year is much 61 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: lower than the six point six percent year every year 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 3: it was a couple of years ago. 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: A stated system. Is there leverage in the system? Is 64 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: there that animal? I don't I don't want to say, 65 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: animal spirit, that that ancient animal instinct to leverage up 66 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: when we're certain we know what we're doing. Is there 67 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: that bet right now? 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: You're not seeing it to the extent that we saw previously, 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: either headed into the dot com bubble in two thousand 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: or certainly into the Great Financial Crisis into one thousand 71 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: and seven two thousand and eight. But there is a 72 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: lot of borrowing going on out there. The most leffed 73 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: balance sheet are not businesses in household they're actually federal 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: governments globally. When you look about the extension of credit 75 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: into the system, bank balance sheets may have shrunk, but 76 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: private credit is out there. 77 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: But the heart of the matter, going back to Roguoff 78 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: and Reinhardt this time is different. Is they took within 79 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: their iconic study of debt that it's about public and 80 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: private combination of debt. Would you suggest we're going to 81 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: see a private debt issuance and build up in belief 82 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: in debt, so we've got both public and private over indebtedness. 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like we're heading there. I agree. Right 84 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: right now it feels like and I know you did 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 3: a story that consumers are looking to do a bit 86 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: more vacationing and a third of them are willing to 87 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: put that, willing to go into debt to do that. 88 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: Going into the financial crisis, one hundred and twenty percent 89 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 3: of them would have been willing to have gone into 90 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: debt to go on vacation. So there is some moderation. 91 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 3: You look at housing, consumers aren't changing art chasing housing 92 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: prices higher. 93 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 2: Let's listen to our Latin tour guide here as we. 94 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 3: Go to Rome Arma where room quay kind of troy 95 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: I qui primus aboris. 96 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: That's great, and that's like Lisa Mateo's schedule to go 97 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 2: to Rome Here she's going deep into debt okay and 98 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: to go to loans so she can catch up with 99 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: Bob Michael and the Latin. 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: That's perfect. 101 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: It's out there as well. It's going to happen. 102 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: Bob. 103 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: What do I do here? 104 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: And if I want to take some credit risk here, 105 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: do I stay with investment grade? Do I go to 106 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: high yield because high yield was the performer last year 107 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: in the fixed income space. Where do we go in 108 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: a credit space? 109 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: You hope that over the next week high yield pulls 110 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: back a little bit further, and then you go in 111 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: without recession on the horizon. You have nothing to fear 112 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: but yourself. If you stay out of the high yield market, 113 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: you're picking up now yields of over eight percent. Wow, 114 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: corporate profitability looks good. It's a much cleaner high yield 115 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: market than anything in my lifetime. Six percent of it 116 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 3: washed away back in twenty twenty. 117 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 2: I guess I got to go to the FED meeting 118 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 2: as well. The basic idea is it's a snoozefest to 119 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: get to June when they redo the dots and as 120 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: a raging debate now Craig Taurus with great leadership on 121 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: this over the weekend about the FED almost over communicating. 122 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: Is your world made more complex because there's too much 123 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: communication from FED presidents, governors and leaders? 124 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: You know, Tom, the one dead language that I miss 125 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: is FED speak. Remember in the days back in the eighties, 126 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: when the FED wasn't always tell you every day what 127 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: you were thinking. 128 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: I yearned for it. 129 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: You used to get the Fed minutes, You used to 130 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: get the listen to the Humphrey Hawkins testimony. You heard 131 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,119 Speaker 3: what Greenspan said, then you got out your secret FED 132 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: decoder ring and interpretd what he meant and there was 133 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: a value to that, and I think there is just 134 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: way too much daily information coming Paul. 135 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: The most important conversation I've had on this is someone 136 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: that Bob Michael knows, Richard Berner, who drove the ship 137 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: at Morgan Stanley for Steve Roach for years in the 138 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: US economy, public service to the nation at Treasury. And 139 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: what was so important here is there was just what 140 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: mister Michael says. And then you would go see a 141 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: president at a rotary club or some other economic club 142 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: and they'd say, just as little at the breakfast is 143 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: they were saying to us on the street. 144 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: Bob, you're head of the global fixed in them Currency 145 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: and Commodities group. Here, let's go currencies. What is there 146 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: a bare case for the US dollar here? Or are 147 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: we just all along the US dollar and letting everybody 148 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: else deal with it. 149 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: There's a bare case for the dollar when the Fed 150 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: starts cutting rates. Until they do that, there's no sense 151 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: fighting the strength and the dollar. If you look at 152 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: when the dollar really started to gain strength, it's when 153 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: the FED started hiking the FED funds rate at the 154 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: start of twenty twenty two. Back then yen was about 155 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: one ten, not one fifty. The entire strength and dollar 156 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 3: yen has come from the FED hiking rates, not anything 157 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: that's happened on the Bank of Japan's part. 158 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: So, and we see central banks around the world cutting 159 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: rates or saying they will cut rates, signaling that they 160 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: will cut rates. So I mean, does a FED, how 161 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: does the FED think about the dollar when they think 162 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: about their rate policy. 163 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: You're right, there have been seven thousand basis points of 164 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 3: rate cuts in the emerging market central banks. So those 165 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: central banks have been cutting rates for over a year, 166 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 3: and I have to imagine they're starting to second guests 167 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: whether they need to keep cutting rates. Here. I don't 168 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 3: know that the FED thinks about the dollar all that much. 169 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: If we go back, we were just talking about the 170 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: FED speak of the nineteen eighties. I remember we used 171 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: to look at the tanbook, We used to look at 172 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 3: the minutes. We used to see how they prioritized inflation, 173 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: growth and the dollar, and many times the dollar was 174 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 3: their number one priority. I don't think it's their priority 175 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: right now. I think it's a huge one for the 176 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: ECB and the Bank of Japan. 177 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: ABOB and the time we got left, I really want 178 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: to focus here on endo. The earning season in corporate 179 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: issuance off of like v body at Boston University, or 180 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: there's a thing folks called eminem It's not the candy, 181 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: but it's a theory here and the allocation of your 182 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: capital structure to debt. Are we underdebted right now in 183 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: quality corporate America? Do they have not enough bills, notes 184 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 2: and bonds? 185 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: I think we are. We have spent the last quarter 186 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,119 Speaker 3: trying to poke holes in corporate profitability in the markets 187 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 3: and at JP Morgan with our credit research team, and 188 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: they can't do it. And instead what they're seeing is 189 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: a reacceleration in corporate profitability and businesses thinking about investing 190 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 3: in cap X Again, it looks pretty bright out there 191 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: for corporate America. It does remind me in nineteen ninety five. 192 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: Do you suggest bond issuance will be the surprise of 193 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: the next eighteen months. 194 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: I don't know. I think there's a shortage of corporate 195 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: debt right now. We were looking out over the next 196 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: couple quarters and there's more money maturing from there are points. 197 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 2: What you just heard there, folks, is classic John Templeton 198 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 2: from Bob Michael. I'm sorry, Paul, I'm in this camp. 199 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 2: There's a shortage of bonds. Nobody's looking at the Bob 200 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: Michael world and it's a tangible part of how we 201 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: do this, and it links into the equity market, and 202 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: there's just a shortage of bonds. That's all there is. 203 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Bob, you're JP Morgan asset management. You guys 204 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: are pretty big. If you wanted to get out of 205 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: a position change a big allocation. Is there enough liquidity 206 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: on the street to kind of get that trade done 207 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: to your liking today versus ten or fifteen years ago. 208 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: How much harder is it, if at all, to kind 209 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: of make major trades for you guys. 210 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: Right now when things are relatively stable, you can do it. 211 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 3: It will take a little bit of time, depending how 212 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: large a position you're trying to move. There's a lot 213 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: more in portfolio trading, so hundreds of line items all 214 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 3: at once at a single price. That's a feature that 215 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: didn't exist pre financial crisis. But when everyone is waried 216 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: and everyone's pulling back liquidity and their balance sheet, then 217 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 3: it is far more challenging than it was. 218 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: JP Morgan, you say, get that trade done for me, right? 219 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are players. 220 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: You try not to do that because you are you 221 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: are reliant on a counterparty. I think that's a pre 222 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: financial crisis, is that right? 223 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: Let me pin down the tenure yield twelve months from now, 224 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: just a vanilla media call here for animals like me. 225 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 3: I think we're going to be right around four percent. 226 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: Down, but not down with the drama that financial meautia. 227 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: Not a whole lot, not a whole lot. I think 228 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: the FED could probably get one hundred and one hundred 229 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: and twenty five basis points of great cut. 230 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: So are you doing cliff notes now in FED speak? 231 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: If you've got Greek and Latin down from your undergraduate days. 232 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: I don't. Are you looking at FED speakers, I don't 233 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: need to do it. They're telling us every ten minutes 234 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: what they're thinking. You don't need cliff now. 235 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 2: Bob Michael, thank you so much. Just generous with his 236 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: time here on a Monday. That morning, he of course, 237 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: is with JP Morgan
