He's 12 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: trying to say he's populist because he bought his kid 13 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: a happy meal and call at the about two places 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: that you can get some food. There is a restaurant 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: upstairs and then downstairs there's a burger king. So when 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: you go past the burger king, that's when you check 17 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: in just to see how much the mill cost, just 18 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: to just to get your updates, to take a look 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: at it. You say, wow, that's expensive. Then you walk on. 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: If you go down the street from air Maz where 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: the bow ties literally forty dollars more than it is 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: on Madison Avenue here. I mean, I'm not kidding of 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: the currency. I don't think you are. There is a 24 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: McDonald's al from New Jersey. Once he shared a lunch 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: with me there and you know he loaded up. He 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: had like two big max It was like forty two dollars. 27 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Is SMB disagrees with what they're doing in sweet We're 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: going to continue this conversation now with Jahap jell and 29 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: news Credit Sweets, head of FX and Macro trading Strategy 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Shahab Swede and abandoning negativent of interest rates? Can we 31 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: read anything into this more broadly for the other central 32 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: banks in Europe continuing this experiment, I think this was 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: well flanked, so the immediate price effect isn't really there. 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: But at the same time, we are seeing interest rates 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: at the longer term interest rates going up across the 36 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: r area at this moment across Europe in general, um 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: as equity markets do better as the markets look forward 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: to a better growth growth prospect next year globally, So 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: all it really does I think is underline the fact 40 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: that at this point the market, if anything, is now 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: looking for higher rather than lower rates across UH, the 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: overall European rate space. UH. And that's that's probably the 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: most important aspect of this. I think, have you raised 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: a really good point, We've reached the bottom, and now 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: the path is going to be up. That seems to 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: be the implication. Is there a bigger message though to 47 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: be read through the idea that we did not see 48 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: much of a move in markets. It wasn't this amazing 49 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: catastrophic event going to zero. Does that give us a lesson? Well? 50 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: I think it tells you certainly that if you flag 51 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: what you plan to do well enough in advance, um, 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: and then it just so happens that global conditions are 53 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: supportive of what you want to do at that point 54 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: in time when you when you reach that decision, then 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: you can get away with a move like this notable 56 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: And it's notable as well. There were two dissenters to 57 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: this decision to the deputy governors disagreed, and what that 58 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: does it leaves some optionality to change course next year 59 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: without losing too much face. So I think that's that's 60 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: another fact that to bear in mind as well. Our 61 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: conditions conducive to going to zero in Europe right now. 62 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: I think it's it's different in the case of the 63 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: ECB and the EUR area simply because inflation expectations remain 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: very muted at this point in time, and there are 65 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: other significant risks. For example, some fear that the tariff 66 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: war UH as as the U S tarifer against China 67 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: subsides perhaps one against the your area could start. So 68 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: these kinds of risks probably mean that it's it's too 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: soon to think about any any form of movement away 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: from their it to rates by the CB and Sweden 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: is going to get a lot of attention today and 72 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: they may well do in the coming months too. But 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: the e c B is forecasting inflation of one point 74 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: one percent in Sweden and the Swedish Central Bank is 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: forecasting inflation of of what one eight per cent? As 76 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: you have, isn't that the difference for the e c 77 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: B and the ricks Bank. The Sweden is basically on 78 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: the money on target and the ECB is nowhere near. 79 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: I think that's that's a key part of this UH 80 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: and ultimately with the various disagreements that are going on 81 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: at the CD, apparently between the different central Bank governors. 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: That adds another layer of intrigue. I guess you could 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: say to the decisions that the CP is likely to make, 84 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: But yes, until inflation expectations move materially higher, it's quite 85 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: difficult to see a move away from negative interest rates, 86 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: especially as what will probably see if markets really get 87 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: excited about rates moving higher in Europe persistently is a 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: stronger euro to boot also titles you can do another 89 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: thing that they need to avoid for now. That's right 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: where you wanted to go. What is your call on Euro? 91 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: I mean, is it a tradeable currency next year? Well, 92 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: we actually think euro is still in the funding currency category. 93 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: We feel that those looking for a better global environment 94 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: in can look at other currencies they are more high 95 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: beta for investment as opposed to the Euro. So, for example, 96 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: we think the high beta space in G ten includes 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: the likes of Norway, Australian dollar um and in emerging 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: markets there's a lot of choices as well, UM, including 99 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: for example of South African rant. So uh, the Euro 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: as a negative rate currency is not the most appealing 101 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: to pick at this point. Well, so shall we shall 102 00:05:50,279 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: have joll and who's thanks so much? Credit Suez? Greg 103 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: Villier is a student of all this, from Johnson to 104 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: Clinton to President Trump, and he joins us right now 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: to meet Gregg. There was an entire somber tone to 106 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: the process. Am I wrong on that or did that 107 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: capture what you observed yesterday in Washington? No, you're right, Tom, 108 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: Good Morning. I think that Pelosi wanted to show the 109 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: country that they were not juvelant, and she cut off 110 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: any celebration very quickly. I thought that was pretty a 111 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: stute of her. She is going to delay. This is 112 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: something that I guess came out of nowhere. Uh. Does 113 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: she have the ability to delay the process to the Senate? Apparently? 114 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's the big deal. I think that's 115 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: the story coming out of last night, which was so 116 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: predictable except for this new angle, and that is she 117 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: may delay for weeks any submission of impeachment charges to 118 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: the Senate until they show her that they're going to 119 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: have witnesses. Greig. I'm wondering going forward what the political 120 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: consequences of this vote will be, given the fact that 121 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: President Trump is using it to try to ignite his base. 122 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: Will that be effective? Well? It sure wasn't that rally 123 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: he had last night, and I think it was Wisconsin 124 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 1: and in a very raucous adoring crowd. So he's jimmed 125 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: up his basse, you know, whether he's jenned up that 126 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: great chunk of centrist voters that the people in America 127 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: who could be swayed that. The jury is still very 128 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: much out on that. But I do think he's united 129 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: the Republicans more than he could have ever hoped for. Yeah, 130 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: that rarely has been Battle Creek, Michigan. I believe. I'm 131 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: just trying to understand the Republican Party, how we can 132 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: sort of separated out from President Trump. I mean, is 133 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: uh the Republican Party at this point the Trump Party, 134 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: and that essentially anything that is uh, you know, a 135 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: rebuke of him will be used to try to get 136 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: a voter voter turn at Well, you're right, Lisa, I 137 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: think that it's now his party entirely. He's dominated the party, 138 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: terrorized the party, and I think what they also own 139 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: is a three point five percent unemployment rate, and I 140 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: think that's a big plus. Gregg the President yesterday that 141 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: campaign rally, referred to the process as quote a political 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: suicide march for the Democratic Party. How's it playing out? 143 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: In the polls at a moment, Greg, Yeah, I mean 144 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: the poles GN have slightly weakened for impeachment. But Trump 145 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: said the last week that his poll numbers have gone 146 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: through the roof, which typically for Trump, is not true. 147 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: I think his poll numbers have improved a bit. But 148 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: there's more to come, and I think there's more twists 149 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: and turns like Pelosi withholding the impeachment charges going to 150 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: the Senate. You know, maybe we will hear from John Bolton, 151 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: maybe we'll hear from Rudy Giuliani. Maybe Trump himself will 152 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: continue to be his own worst enemy on things like 153 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: letters to Pelosi. So there's more twists in turns to come. 154 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is still Trump will remain as president. 155 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: The Democrats say they're upholding the constitution. This isn't about 156 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: electoral politics, but it will have consequences for and a 157 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: conversation we've been having on this program, Greg, is essentially 158 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: that the president is already conducting a national campaign at 159 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: a time when the Democrats are still in the business 160 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: of selecting their nominee for the campaign next year. They 161 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: are focusing on the smallest states ahead of all of that, 162 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: and they're drowning in partisan politics down in Washington, d C. 163 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 1: Just how much can the president leverage this moment to 164 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: put himself on a firmer footing into next year. Well, 165 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: I think he can. And as you guys all know, 166 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: I try to be a centrist. I'm not an id 167 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: logue on one side or another. But I must say 168 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: it's a pretty sorry group of Democrats. I mean, they 169 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: debate tonight and I'm sure they're going to go after 170 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: each other pretty aggressively. I mean, there's no one in 171 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: the group that I see who clearly could be Trump. 172 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible Trump could lose. I think the 173 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: electoral college map doesn't favor him as much. But boy, 174 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: that's a weak group of Democrats he's facing. We should 175 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: mention as well that Michael Bloomberg is the founder of 176 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: Bloomberg lpean of course, of Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Radio, 177 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: and as a candidate for that Democratic UH nomination. That 178 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: speaks greg val to a recalibration into the weeks of 179 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty of what moderate means to Democrats, 180 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Senator Warren has shifted. There's imperceptible changes. What's a moderate Democrat. 181 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: Look as we launch into the holiday season, Well, there's 182 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: three or four big ones, as you mentioned Bloomberg, There's Biden, 183 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: there's Amy Klovicharre's Buddha Jedge, who are all relatively moderate 184 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: for that party. But Trump, I think we'll try to 185 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: demonize any of them saying that. He'll say they all 186 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: favored big tax increases, they're all closet socialists. So you 187 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: mean he'll still have an argument. But I think right 188 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: now there's crazy primary season rewards, pandering in Iowa to 189 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: the most extreme elements. May Ward believe it or not, 190 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, who is I think had a little surge. 191 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: I think Sanders could win New Hampshire as he did 192 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: early four years ago. I mean, Greg, this is really important, 193 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: and you're a real student of this. For for those 194 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,239 Speaker 1: of us that are clueless, that would be me included. 195 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: How different is this process to March third than the 196 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: last time around. Well, it's one very big difference, and 197 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,239 Speaker 1: that is a major candidate. Mike Bloomberg is not contesting 198 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: the early primaries. He's saving his uh A powder. I 199 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: mean his ads have been quite good. In my opinion, 200 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: I think he could do well on March three. So 201 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to diminish Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, 202 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: but they're not quite as important as they were four 203 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: years ago. Greg, you're killing me every time you mentioned 204 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Mr Bloomberg. You know, I'm I'm he's you're actually killing him. 205 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: He's actually I'm agent. Right here. We should mention again, folks, 206 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: Mr Bloomberg's affiliation with Bloomberg Surveillance Lisa, Greg, I'm curious 207 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: about what the playbook is post post election, right. I mean, 208 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: I was talking with one uh one investor who is 209 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: saying that perhaps will start talking about an infrastructure bill 210 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: again come next December. Is that plausible? Do you think 211 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: that we're actually going to see any feasible proposals like 212 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: that on the table. Well, they'll talk about it. I mean, 213 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: they'll talk about tax cuts too, I think, talk about 214 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: big middle class tax reductions, which I don't see getting 215 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: past Pelosi. I don't see an infrastructure bill passing either, 216 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: But I think Trump will make it clear that he's 217 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: willing to spend money. If there's one big economic theme 218 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: in this city, it's not the monetary stimulus, it's the 219 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: fiscal stimulus, which I think will continue to be very 220 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: very robust. Oh, you know, I want to go Greg 221 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: to some of the challenges that are out there in infrastructure, 222 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: like in Merrimack, New Hampshire, build a nineteen fifty nine 223 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: eight nine over Seth Street. I mean, I mean, that's 224 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: your neck of the woods. Why is it so hard 225 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: to fix eighty nine over pass a merri mc New Hampshire. Well, 226 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: the first reason is that they have to figure out 227 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: a way to pay for it, and nobody, of course 228 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: would dare. No one in New Hampshire wants to pay 229 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: for it. But it's like a federal right. But even 230 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: on the federal level, no one wants a gasoline tax, 231 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: which could pay for it. But it'll come. And I 232 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: guarantee you guys, as we go through Trump will talk 233 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot about infrastructure very quickly. Here, Greg, we built 234 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: the inter the interstate system. You're too young to remember this, 235 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: but we built the interstate system under Eisenhower. Sure, and 236 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: I think that Trump would love to do something similar. 237 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: Also a wild card, guys, student debt relief. I think 238 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: a proposal is coming. There's a piece this morning in 239 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. They're not going to forgive it, 240 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: but they might restruct your debt. That's going to be 241 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: a plus for them. Greg Investment, Chief US Policy. I'm 242 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: just trying. Somebody's going to forgive the tours and payments. 243 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: I actually think that would be huge. That would be 244 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: huge economically because a lot of people say that that's 245 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: one thing that's been holding back housing formation in among 246 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: younger people, as well as just spending in general. A 247 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: huge past radium, Tim Keene and we are thrilled to 248 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: bring you his first interview after announcing UH and ease 249 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: back on the schedule from the grind of every day, 250 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: every day. And trust me, folks, if you're on Global 251 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: Wall Street, you know the grind of every day, every 252 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: day to occasionally during the week. He first began publishing 253 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: when his book was released in nineteen fifty seven, The 254 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Grinch Who Stole Christmas? And we're well, we're thrilled to 255 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: have the Grinch with us here today. Dennis Gartment is 256 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: all Dennis. A lot of people saying, why is it 257 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: about health? Is it about this? Is it about that that? 258 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: Mrs Gartman say enough, do we blame the president as 259 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: a president Obama's fault? Why are retiring? Yes? Yes, that's yes. 260 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: Above it's primary. First of all, it's the guys that 261 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: I used to play golf with and beat all the 262 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: time who retired three years are beating me now, so 263 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: I've got to try to retire and try to catch 264 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: up with him. But quite honestly, when I started doing 265 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: this thirty five years ago, I got the China People's 266 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: Daily two days late in the mail, and I was 267 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: still a week ahead of everybody else. Now everybody gets 268 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: the China People's Daily on the internet. I mean it's instantaneous. 269 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: So the transformation of the businesses has simply gone past me. 270 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: So I've decided that nearly seventy years old and getting 271 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: up for thirty five years at one o'clock in the 272 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: morning trying to knock this thing out, it's time to 273 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: say I've grown past. You always have to throw a 274 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: history into it. And you've got a wonderful thing here, 275 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: uh from a guy you used to work with, Jess Livermore, 276 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: and you go, after all, after all, this is a 277 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: bull market. It's still a bull market. It's still a 278 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: bull market. That's a great line from Reminiscences of a 279 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: Stock Operator, which is a book that everybody who's an 280 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: investor or a trader should read and reread twice. You 281 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: ought to see my copy. It's just dog eared beyond belief. 282 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: But there's a great section in there where Jesse is 283 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: talking about getting out of a winning trade and he 284 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: talks to old Turkey, and Old Turkey says, well, after all, 285 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: it's still a bull market, and there's something to be 286 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: said for that. It is still a bull market. Things 287 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: are going from the lower left to the upper right, 288 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: and they'll continue right this down until they stop. So 289 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: that's the question that we Tom and I probably get 290 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: most often here on surveillances. You know, we're ten plus 291 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: years into this economic cycle. The markets have just been 292 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: ripping since the financial crisis, and we just had a 293 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: great twenty nineteen. What do I do? Pray, pray, pray. 294 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: There's the trend is still up and it's it's shocking 295 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: to me. And four years ago I thought that the 296 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: bull market could have come to an end. Three years ago, 297 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: it should have come to an end. Two years ago, 298 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: it should have come to an end. It will come 299 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: to an end when it comes to an end. You 300 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: have indications the types of activities that occurred at tops. 301 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: We work as a perfect example of the market. You're 302 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: a big share old there, weren't you know? I was 303 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: trying to be I was hoping it would go public 304 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: so I could get short. You had the last week 305 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: that that wonderful banana attached to a wall with with 306 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: with duct tape. But no, actually a friend of mine, dude. 307 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: But those are the sorts of things that happened at 308 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: market tops. But you know this, the market looks like 309 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: it wants to go parabolic, and it'll it'll continue until 310 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: some geopolitical circumstances changes things. It's interesting, I think, you know, 311 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: it's I don't really. I'm trying to think back to 312 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: how the markets behaved during the ninety impeachment of President Clinton. 313 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: But this market doesn't care. It doesn't care. And should 314 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: it do You think, well, yes it should, but it doesn't. 315 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: And until it starts to care, then then it cares. 316 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: It'll care when it cares, and it won't care until then. 317 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: All news in this environment is bullish. That's simply the 318 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: matter of fact. That's what's going on. You may find 319 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: it ludicrous, and I find it absolutely ludicrous, But nonetheless, 320 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: to fight that trend, I've tried to fight it two 321 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: or three times. It's is it just I mean, you know, 322 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: based upon my thirty years in the business, if there's one, 323 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: you know truism, I've learned, it's just interest rates. Do 324 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: not fight. The Fed's sitting on the sidelines. That was 325 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: Marty's Wag's great line, and it's something that everybody should remember. 326 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: Don't fight. We've seen this in space here, I mean, 327 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: and you've written about this, dentists, and it's to the 328 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: point of the great Martin's wide this year with a vengeance, 329 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: Central Bank has shown their power. They're on the edge 330 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: of altra accommodative inflation adjusted FED funds target rates rolling back. 331 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: Do you perceive we're going to more ultra accommodation? Do 332 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: they find normal see here? Or we all gonna get 333 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: faked out with them like we did last year when 334 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: they said rates are going up. What's their propensity to tighten? 335 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: I think their propensity to tighten a is borderline zero 336 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,239 Speaker 1: for at least the next year or so. Is their 337 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: propensity to ease any any greater? Probably not. I think 338 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: we could be right where we're at and FED funds 339 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: a year from now is where we're at right now. 340 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's probably normal for the for 341 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: the next twelve months or zero Edge had a great 342 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: chart they took from somebody that was the six stop 343 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: top stocks are concentrated like they were in What does 344 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: that signal to you? That's the kind of activity that 345 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: you get into market top. But it can continue to 346 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: go for on Amazon and Apple. Now I got lucky 347 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: and I got gain. What do I do? Hang on, 348 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: put a stop in, buy puts, do something right? Calls? 349 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: But the markets told you that you're right? Why? Why 350 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: why would you get out? Every time the past two years, 351 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: every time I've had something that was profitable and I 352 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: decided I'd take a shot and get out, I'd wish 353 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: two weeks later that I hadn't done that. I mean, 354 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: that's just what the market's telling us. That one of 355 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: the great lines to to be UH embraced is it 356 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: was either by Lord Kings or my good friend Gary Shilling. 357 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who it went to Lord Lord Shilling. Yes, 358 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: the market can remain illogical far longer than you or 359 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: I can remain solving. We got thirty forty seconds here 360 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: and then we'll come back with you, Dennis. I mean, 361 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: that's the call of our lifetimes has been Gary shilling 362 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: his call of the bond market. Absolutely absolutely, I couldn't 363 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: agree more. Yea, Gary nailed at people laughed at him 364 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: when he started to talk about it at thirty five 365 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: years ago, and he's been right ever since. It's extraordinary call. 366 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is come back with Dennis Gartman 367 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: lost to talk about here with futures that negative to 368 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: Mr Garban of course writing his letter. We protect the 369 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: copyright of all of our guests unless they're retiring. You 370 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: can get the garment letter and it will still be published. 371 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: Look for that from Mr Gartman. Yeah, I love this. 372 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: He's got seven and counting. Yes, he's counting his days counting. 373 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: Don't we all know we're coming in by the years 374 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: here and Mike Hast the surveillance casket out back, he's 375 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: gonna roll me into one day. The sadness last night 376 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: when Afterthought came into the room and said, does this 377 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: mean the president loses his job? And I've explained to 378 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: a twelve year old you know the process and what's 379 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: going on. The somberness yesterday of this as well, and 380 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: I want to go to your support, as you've written 381 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: in your note, for years of Republican politics. Can the 382 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: Republicans soparty Party of Lincoln survive this two thousand nine? No, No, 383 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: it cannot. The Republican Party has given up being the 384 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: Republican Party. It used to be the Party of lower 385 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: taxes and free trade. Now it's the Republican Party of 386 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: Mr Trump. And that's what it's become. It's a it's 387 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: a personality cult. And I find that disconcerting. I I 388 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: have been a Republican all my life, and I find 389 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: it very difficult to maintain my Is this the Whigs 390 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: of eighteen forty two? I mean, I mean, you're Steep 391 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: and Henry Clay. You went to it's a small college 392 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, North State, which is the that's the 393 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: Land Grant Whig School of the South. But is this 394 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: Are they going to go the way of the Whigs? Yeah? 395 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: I think they're Sadly, they're going to disappear. I'm I'm 396 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm afraid that that's exactly what's going to happen. Um. 397 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: The better minds of the party are leaving quietly at 398 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: the fringes. And and this is yeah, let me repeat, 399 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: this is disconcerting. You expect the Republicans to stand firm 400 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: and the President during the Senate and it's just a 401 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: political well, they have no choice. They know if they don't, 402 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: they're going to be scathingly viewed by the President on 403 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: the national media and they're gonna be hurt by it. 404 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: So he's he's in the controlling position. So the best 405 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: they'll get is the best the Democrats will get is 406 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: maybe one defector, and if that I'd be surprised. So 407 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: as an investor, as I you know, go through this 408 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: month of January, here is a risk to my portfolio 409 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: for wherever how the Senate issue plays out. No, I mean, 410 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: we know how the Senate issue is going to play out. 411 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: They need to get two thirds of percent of the 412 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: votes in the Senate. They're not going to get close 413 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: to that. In fact, it probably will be a majority 414 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: of voting in his favor. I may find that disconcerting, 415 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: but that's what that's the reality of circumstance. So what's 416 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: the what's the risk. The risk is that some untoward 417 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: news may come out of the president, some silly thing 418 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: that he said. But even that's I think relatively in 419 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: consequential risk. Agreed in the screen Dennis Gartment with us. 420 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: Of course, the garment letter eight thousand, three eighteen. When 421 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Mr Gartman joined the business, that was a three twelve 422 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: actually right now, actually it was four seventy six seven. 423 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: I do remember that if somebody say, go to cash 424 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: right now, first time, first time caller into Bloomberg Surveillance. 425 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: This is Doug in Florida. Asked Doug a question for 426 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Mr Gartener favorite fan, Hey Dougie, how are you, buddy? Doug? 427 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: A question for Mr Gartener? Please? Oh the question I 428 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: just asked on Twitter? UM went did I ask? Oh? Yes, uh, 429 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: talk amongst yourself answer the following question. UM. In March 430 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: two thousand nine, I felt that the equity market, the SMP, 431 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: was making a generational bottom, as you know, UM. Back 432 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: in June or early July of two thousand sixteen, I 433 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: made the case that bond yields are making a generational low. 434 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, I think the next generational low is First 435 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: of all, congratulations, Doug. I mean, and you have been 436 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: hammering those points home for years and years and you've 437 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: been absolutely right, so well done. I think if we're 438 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: asking where's the next generational low going to be? I 439 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: think the next generational low is going to be in 440 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: the commodity markets, I think things are unbelievably scathingly and 441 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: com from incomprehensibly cheap at this point. The generational trend 442 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: in the bond markets likely to continue to go with 443 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: rates are continuing to go lower and prices are going 444 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: to continue to go higher, and the generational low in 445 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: the stock market that's going to continue to move from 446 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: from the lower left to the upper right until it stops. 447 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: But if we're looking for another generational low for something 448 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: that's inexpensive commodities, Doug Cass Dennis Garbon's idea of long 449 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: terms three days, we all know the three hours, hours 450 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: hours as well. Doug, you have set the bar this 451 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: year for a discussion of the most owned Amazon, and 452 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: you've had the courage to go out with the five 453 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: year view or even longer justify what Mr Bezos is 454 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: doing right now. Yeah, I have a price target basically 455 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: around five thousand dollars looking out five years from now, 456 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: and um I was initially concerned and what kept me 457 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: for Amazon, Sir Thomas and Dennis was for some time 458 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: until December of two thousand eighteen one the stoques trading 459 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: around fifty dollars UM was that I was concerned about 460 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,479 Speaker 1: um regulatory interference. They're making all these um you know, 461 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: horizontal um vertical acquisitions within retail industry and across other 462 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: industry lines, and I thought there would be severe anti 463 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: trust problems. And I've come to the conclusion that the 464 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: regulatory headwinds are not nearly as concerning as I thought. Indeed, 465 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: regulations might even deepen the company's mode or franchise value 466 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: as um. Less capitalized companies without the financial resources of 467 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: Amazon and Bezos will be ill equipped um um um 468 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: to comply with new regular ations. So I think Amazon, 469 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: obviously the early and first adopter to the concept of 470 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: buying on the Internet, has a much much larger runways 471 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: than most investors expect. Dennis tell us about long term investment. 472 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got trades, and your gold trade has 473 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: been brilliant. What do you like on that? All? Way 474 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: more than that way more I've had I've had it 475 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: on for five years, so okay, But but tell us 476 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: about how you do long term investment like Cass is 477 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: doing an Amazon right now. I wish I had the 478 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: intellect that Doug has, because you don't either do what 479 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: and then nobody does? You don't have his golf cap. 480 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: He's actually mine was actually better than his for a while, 481 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: but my mind's deteriorating. His is getting better. And as 482 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: I I gave Doug, as David Bowie said, changes and 483 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: software arms right, so I know you told me that's 484 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: how I went all the tournaments. Is got at forty 485 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: seconds left? Tell me how you do long term investment? Basically, 486 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: the first thing I look at is what's the chart 487 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: telling me? Is it going from the lower left to 488 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: the upper right as the new highest coming have new 489 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: have have the lower have low has been consistently higher. 490 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: I want to look at first of all, fundament technically, 491 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,959 Speaker 1: is something telling me I'm to be bullish? And then 492 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: I'll go find the fundamentals, which is contrary to what 493 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: most people are taught. I'll go find the fundamentals that 494 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: keep me involved with that long with that long term trend. 495 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: But again, I want to hire a hammer home. The 496 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: idea if you're looking for the next generational low, look 497 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: at look at owning commodity prices period kind of discussion. 498 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: Red wheats in there as well, red hard red winter wheats. 499 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: This has been wonderful. Dennis Gartman, thank you so much 500 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: the Gartman Leward, Doug Cass, thank you for joining us 501 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: this morning. Cast smarter than we are. It's warmer in Florida. 502 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: See partners, What are we doing? Tom? Of course, Paul, 503 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: what do you see there? I mean, you know again, 504 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: it's a little lift to lift, a little lift to 505 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: the market. You know, if we see this every day, 506 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: just kind of lifts a little bit every day and uh, 507 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: in the absence of any news to see drifts higher. 508 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: You didn't tell Dennis, I'm in the triple webers Worth Slee. 509 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: It's worked out well this year. Welcome all of you worldwide. 510 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: We welcome with great sympathy all of you the two 511 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: points seven million taking the c f A exam in 512 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: June of two thousand twenty as well. Let me explain 513 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: it at the full disclosure. Cif A Institute has been 514 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: a huge supporter of what I do here at Bloomberg. 515 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: I am a member of the cif A Institute, and 516 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: I used to slide rule. That's how far back it goes. 517 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: An annual visit with Margaret Fitzgerald Franklin rather Margaret Franklin 518 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: of CFA, their president and CEO, and we welcome her 519 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: here today to talk about the future of Wall Street 520 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: and what the cf A Institute is doing. None of 521 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: that matters. You grew up with Frank Mahavelich. I mean 522 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: that's really cool. In Toronto. He was one of our heroes. 523 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: He was This is folks in hockey. When one play 524 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: are could change the game and Frank Mahavelich would sit 525 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: in the sun of the ice in the offensive zone 526 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: and no one could touch him. Your dad sharpened our 527 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: skates at least side Memorial Gardens. There were six teams. 528 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: This is back when it was real hockey, and they 529 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: were as you mentioned before, they were. It was a 530 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: down to earth thing. It wasn't people making eight or 531 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year. It was a really basic 532 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: It was a real thing. Let's let's talk about see 533 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: if A and start in Toronto. International organization you are 534 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: focused on see if A Toronto now in charge of 535 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: all of the world wide platform. How are you adapting 536 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: to the international nature? So it started out in Charlottesville, Virginia. 537 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: So let me just say I'm actually in Charlottesville. We 538 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: have nine offices around the world. Toronto is a society, 539 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: so I'm Canadian. But now the global CEO, and UM, 540 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: I would say my roots in Toronto actually probably the 541 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: most multicultural city in the world. Uh, we have we 542 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: have a large contingent of Chinese passport holders taking the 543 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: exams and elsewhere from around the world in Toronto, as 544 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: is the case in many Canadian cities. UM, And when 545 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: I wrote my exam, it was not as global. It 546 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: wasn't even close to being global the way it is 547 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: right now. How have you adapted the exam to the 548 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: new mathiness of global law street. It used to be 549 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: my son played lacrosse with your son? Do you have 550 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: an intern program? I mean that used to be out 551 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: it went and now it's about intellectual chops. How have 552 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: you adapted that ten years on? So the c f 553 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: A program has really two elements to it that keep 554 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: it current and on point. The first is the practice analysis. 555 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: That's where we go out to practitioners and make sure 556 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: that what's in the curriculum is relevant for call at 557 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: the just qualified candidate. The other aspect of that is 558 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: we get a lot of material that then informs our 559 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: professional learning. So, once you've got your charter, what is 560 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: the thought leadership, the skills, knowledge and capabilities that you 561 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 1: need so that practice analysis is a critical component not 562 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: only of curriculum, but also of our lifelong learning. So, Margaret, 563 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: you're the first female CEO of the c f A Institute. 564 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: Talk to us a little bit about the diversity that 565 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: you see in the folks taken the cf A globally 566 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: now nowadays, So I am the first female CEO and 567 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: it's seventy three year history. UM, our industry suffers from 568 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: a lack of diversity. We are seeing the numbers change. 569 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: So for instance, China is fifty women in the candidate program. Um. 570 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: But but frankly, I got my charter in nine seven. 571 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: At that point, nineteen percent of the charter holders were women, 572 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: and it's our eighteen percent. It's now nineteen percent, UM 573 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: over twenty years later. So five years ago, myself and 574 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: Leah Bennett, who's a board member, started the Women in 575 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: Investment Management Initiative, which cf A Institute backed. Five years ago. 576 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 1: We had to present the evidence that actually having diverse 577 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: teams and including women, which is the universal diversity issue, 578 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: would improve risk and return. And what did you learn, um, 579 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: really that that the core tenant of portfolio diversification never 580 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: made it into team construction. UM. What I would say 581 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: is five years later, we don't have to push evidence. 582 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: We now see an energy and intensity by employers for 583 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: tools and strategies that will help them attract necessary and 584 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: critical um talent to make the best teams that they 585 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: can well. And I'm thrilled to announced, folks, my year 586 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: in program this year with Golden Sex is Abby Joseph Cohen. 587 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: Take Abby Joseph Cohen, who was a pioneer as an 588 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: economist and whether prodigious financial skills writing in the f 589 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: A J Journal as well, or someone like Sally craw 590 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: Check at sent for Burnsting as well. These are people 591 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: that were pioneers. They had prodigious intellectual chops. Why are 592 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: we floating at nine on females within the CFA institute? 593 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: That stunts? So the I think some of the language 594 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: we use doesn't attract the right type of people. So 595 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: when we use quant language and very mathematical language, it 596 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: sometimes doesn't appeal to the values. And the core of 597 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: what we do is developing portfolios to solve problem. But 598 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: women in finance have prodigious math abilities, I believe, and 599 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: Richards will join me in Davos with Fidelity International. Now 600 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean she's first rate mathematical skills. Why can't we 601 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: jump start ourselves away from that? Mathew, no stereotype for women, 602 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: including my daughters. So I think, actually, right now, that's 603 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: exactly what That's exactly what we're doing. And I will 604 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: say there's an intensity and intention by employers around attracting women, 605 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: and that actually will take some time to make it 606 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: through um the pipe, but we really see something quite different. 607 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: I might note that oftentimes when it gets to trust 608 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: and when you move up through the ranks, uh, you 609 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: tend to gravitate to those who look like you. And 610 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: so it's critically important that we have women in those 611 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: senior leadership roles because if I can see it, I 612 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: can imagine it. Visibility is validity. So Margaret, Tom and 613 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: I wish speak to a lot of fund managers here 614 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: in a surveillance studio. What we're hearing more and more 615 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: about is E s G. Environmental sustainability and governance factoring 616 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: into their investment process more and more. How is that? 617 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: How are you incorporating that into the c FA curriculum. 618 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 1: So we've actually had it in the curriculum for about 619 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: the last five years. Of course it's increasing and importance. 620 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: So when we talk to practitioners and we do that 621 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: practice analysis, it really comes up what an observation is 622 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: that in particular, the US has been behind in this. 623 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: We've seen accelerating dramatically in the last six months UM 624 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: As portfolio managers, there is an increasing attention to what 625 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: might be the Minsky moment that immediate repricing of asset. 626 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: And so when we think about what charter holders do, 627 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: which is adhere to a fiduciary standard, putting their clients 628 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: interests of their own and solid research and due diligence, 629 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: you really probably want to make sure that you're paying 630 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: attention to those e s G. Factors that can material 631 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: impact UM security pricing and portfolio pricing. I was an 632 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: equity research analysts on the Cell side and then here 633 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: at Bloomberg for thirty years. So I saw the article 634 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: in the Bloomberg Kernel today that was very disturbing. Analyst 635 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: jobs vanish as a perfect store crashes into research. Whether 636 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: it's mifted to just the decline of commissions, what are 637 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: you seeing from the cell side, what is that impacting 638 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: the demand for charter for the CFA designation at all. 639 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: We still see the demand as very high. So we're 640 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: at the let's call it, at top of a market. 641 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: And that's often when you start to see a little 642 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: leveling off, when we have a contraction the need for 643 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: better educated, more ethically oriented people striving for professionals, and 644 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: it's becomes much more apparent. So, um, we don't see 645 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: a diminishment in demand for the charter uh and for 646 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: charter holders, but the nature of what they're doing is 647 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: probably going to change over time. One final question question 648 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 1: a fund manager's alpha is the part of the fund's 649 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: return that can be attributed to one the market skill, 650 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: luck And we're not sure is it one and two, 651 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: one and three or one three and four. I may 652 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: posit this a little bit differently. We tend to base off. 653 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: We love our four decimal places. I think the greatest 654 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: challenge for portfolio managers is to really understand what it 655 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: is clients are trying to achieve, balance the competing priorities, 656 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: to develop a resilient portfolio that actually gets them where 657 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: they need to get to. It may or may not 658 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: include beating a benchmark. It may not be beating in 659 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: Butch Park. But once again this year they're like, wait 660 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: a minute, the market was up. What happened?
