I think part 22 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: of the reason is that the level of trust by 23 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 3: corporations that operate in Switzerland in terms of the institutional 24 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: stability of the country is very, very high. Foreign direct 25 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: investment into Switzerland knows that as well. It's one of 26 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: the few countries in the world it was really stable 27 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: from an institutional framework perspective. Interestingly, and that's really to 28 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: the great credit of many Swiss corporations. The strength of 29 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: the Swiss frank, which is multi day long and continues, 30 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: is being absorbed by increasing productivity in many stress corporations, 31 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: and that means that they can continue to exports efficiently. 32 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: Andrea Suderman Avantevelle of Zurich, Switzerland.

It is a waltz through 37 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: American finance from the beginning through the nineteenth century into 38 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: the twentieth century.

It's great to talk to him 42 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: about the analog back to the pandemic of nineteen nineteen 43 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: in the roaring twenties. He does agree this is a 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: roaring twenties that we're living right now. Near the end 45 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: of our conversation, I looked at the big banks, four 46 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: big banks in Golden Sachs and Morgan Stanley, and I said, 47 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 2: with their City Group. 48 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Well, they're a top five money center bank because of 49 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: the payments platform. But you're right, they have pulled back. 50 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: There was a time when City was the biggest derivative 51 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: shop in the industry. You know who it is now, 52 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley and Goldman. 53 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: Now where do you perceive City Group in five. 54 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: Years merged with somebody else, maybe with a big asset 55 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: management business, maybe Schwab. But that's what they're missing right now. 56 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: They sold out the Morgan Stanley with the Smith's Barney transaction. 57 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: They don't have the asset manager to make them look 58 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: like everybody else, and they're still you know, Jane Frasier's 59 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: an enormous work there in terms of getting their expenses 60 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: in line, but she still has to cut five points 61 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: out of their efficiency ratio before she could even talk 62 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: about Jamie Donoman.

Who's lined up to be the 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: one to Folden's group in their international I. 66 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: Keep saying they should merge with Goldman, Let the City 67 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: Bank run credit, Let the Goldman boys run deals, because 68 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Goldman cannot run credit. To save their lives. They're getting 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: a kicking every quarter in credit. 70 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: Chris Whyland just definitive, and again his note that he 71 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: does is really a required read on Wall Street.
