WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Cam Dawson & Ned Lamont

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 2>The single best idea and thank you for the comments

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>just in the last twenty four to forty eight hours

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>on these markets. I just said to Paul Sweeney as

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 2>we finished out the program, I've been doing this for

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>way long, and I have never seen, whatever your politics,

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 2>where we're waiting on single headlines out of the news,

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>out of the White House. I just I can't remember

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>when it was like this, and we'll have to see

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 2>as we go forward. Thanks to all of our team,

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>particularly the Markets team just met and just burned it

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>up like all nighters. The Markets team here at Bloomberg

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>for their coverage of the not agony, but the angst

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>that is out there. Cam Dawson very busy with New Edge,

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I had of moments to notice we got it this morning.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Here's Cameron Dawson on this present market.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 3>We do think that this is perfectly normal and something

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>that we should be getting used to through the course

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 3>of the year. When you came into this year with

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 3>valuation so high, sentiment so stretched to the upside, positioning

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 3>very very long, very bullish, it just meant that there

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>was a lot that was needed to drive this market

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 3>much higher, but there wasn't a lot that was needed

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 3>to cause a normal kind of correction. Corrections in the

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 3>seven to ten percent variety happen even without recessions, even

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 3>without periods of weaker growth. Volatility is a feature of

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>being an equity market investor, and really the challenge or

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 3>the opportunity is is what you do with that volatility

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>as it typically runs its course. So this is an

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 3>opportunity we think to continuously upgrade the quality of portfolios

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 3>by names that are the classic throwing the babies out

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 3>with the bathwater, with people indiscriminately selling. But it also

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 3>comes with the message of when it comes to volatility,

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 3>get used to it. This year, the.

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Hallmark of Bloomberg is to identify the win of a headline,

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>of a conversation, of an insight, but also keep up

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>with the news. Cameron Dawson of New Edge earlier this morning,

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and literally, as we're taping single best idea here, we

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>have a set of headlines out from the President. He's

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:30.119
<v Speaker 2>increasing Canadian steel and aluminum tariff to fifty percent five

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>zero Michael McKee literally on Bloomberg Television. With market reaction

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>to this, it is a movable feast politicians of all

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 2>persuasions are dealing with this. What a joy to agreed

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>in our studios today. The centrist Democrat from Connecticut here,

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the governor of Connecticut, Ned Lamont.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we found in Connecticut Republicans and Democrats find

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>places we can agree. Let's say we did the biggest

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>tax cut ever last year. It was middle class people

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 1>and beyond it was not for rich people. That was

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>an area where Republicans and Democrats could get together. Five

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollars tax cut. What we're doing in terms

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>of making sure that we educate people for the jobs

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that are out there right now, there's a disconnect. I'm

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>finding pretty good balance between Republicans and Democrats there. Look,

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a certain incentive to say no, that's what the

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>nature of the opposition party is. I don't think that's

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>good for Democrats at the national level, and I don't

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>think that's good for Republicans at our state level.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Nettlemont there of Connecticut, and we opened that discussion with

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>a conversation on a relatively expensive electricity that is in Connecticut,

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>and much of that from over the border to the

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>north on your commute across Canada and your commute across

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 2>this nation. It is Bloomberg surveillance and of course out
