David Sowerby is out in Detroit with Encora. 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: We're thrilled to join us today and looking really at 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: mid cap, small cap and now on lovely are David, 16 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: I think this is something everybody, including me, has wrong. Okay, 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: I didn't buy Nvidia, Sweeney owns it. I didn't buy 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: the other magnificent for whatever. But the answer is large 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: cap over the last decades up twelve thirteen percent a year. 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: MidCap is terrible, lagging way behind Beloney. It's up eleven 21 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: percent per year the Vanguard MidCap fun Why are midcaps 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: so on, love David sowerby. 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 4: Tom I think it's because they sit a little bit 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 4: in no man's land. You have small cap stocks that 25 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 4: are trying to graduate to MidCap, large cap stocks that 26 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: sometimes are on their way to mid cap. And if 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 4: you think about as you position portfolios, the small cap 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 4: manager is going to own names and continue to have 29 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 4: conviction at migrate up. Large cap managers are going to 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: migrate down in cap, and sometimes that exclusive MidCap manager 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: gets forgotten. That's why I like something like smid small 32 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: and mid combined small and midcom. 33 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 5: I think about kelen Nova. I don't know where you 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 5: put that. I mean, that's a twenty billion dollar market cap. Yeah, 35 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 5: I have to spun off from Kellogg's because cheese It's Tom's, 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 5: and we like cheese. Its here at seven we do, 37 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 5: like Jesus, yes we do. 38 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: That's the official food of Bloomberg Surveillance exactly. 39 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 5: So David talked to us about a company like kelen Nova. 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 4: Sure don't don't forget pop Tarts and pringles of course, Well, 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: of course they're growing internationally, Bottle creep and in both 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 4: cases yes, and and Kellogg, the old Cereal play is 43 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: having a good run as well. If you look at 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 4: the Bloomberg Spinoff Index, it's up twenty five percent year 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 4: to date. Over the long term, one of the best, 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: if not the absolute best formula for unlocking value in 47 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: that small MidCap area is to buy the spinoffs. And 48 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 4: they're back on their on their treadmill again in twenty 49 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 4: twenty four. And that's why I think the ability for 50 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: a small MidCap manager to outperform their benchmark is going 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 4: to come buying spinoff stocks like Kelenopa, like Era Mark, 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: which spun off it's its uniform business and now it's 53 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: just food at sports venues, universities, hospitals. I like spinoffs. 54 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: In our great final four appearances, it looks great. Bloomberg 55 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: Spinoff Index, Paul Sweeny bn SPI N b N SPI 56 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: N is the index. It's on the Bloomberg terminal in 57 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: your car and next to your YouTube remote control. 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 5: Exactly right, all right, David, So we step back and 59 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 5: we think about this market here. The first quarter was 60 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 5: just such an extraordinary performance and really coming off those 61 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 5: October lows, you know, up over twenty five percent for 62 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: the s and P five hundred. Do you get concerned 63 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 5: that this market might be overextended here a little bit, 64 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 5: not so much. 65 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 4: Over extended, but maybe that pause that refreshes. And even 66 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: though the market had that ten percent gain in the 67 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 4: first quarter, the median S and P five hundred stock 68 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: the median was up about seven percent, So I think 69 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 4: there's more room to go. You're able to find companies 70 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: that are generating favorable free cash flow margins, growing the 71 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: dividend that close to a double digit pace, and I 72 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 4: think there's more room to go. Recognizing that, ever elusive, 73 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 4: we will get that ten percent correction. 74 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: You just got. 75 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: To fight and grind through it because taking too much 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 4: evasive action trying to predict it. 77 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 5: Feudal Crane ce xt currency printing presses. 78 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 3: I'd been to their factors was a rite of passage. 79 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: You went to Crane stationary and et you were bored. 80 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: If you fell over, you'd fall into a vat and 81 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: die exactly. 82 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 5: So, I mean, I haven't thought of Crane seext in 83 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 5: a long time. Talk to us about that story. 84 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 4: Well, it's a spinoff from Crane, the industrial company that 85 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: has one hundred year history. So what we're seeing is 86 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: not just currency demand in the US, as the FED 87 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: was on this twenty five to money supply growth rate, 88 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: but we're seeing it internationally and there and there's more 89 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: concern about fraud, so that plays into their ability to 90 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: print currency and avoid fraud. And that's a global story, 91 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 4: and it's a spinoff story as well. 92 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 93 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: I look at this, David, and it's a great bullmarket, 94 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: and I'm going to take it off the what I 95 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: call the kompor yard Denny Low of October two ago. 96 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: What happens in a second leg of a bull market? 97 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you're a trustee of some serious money. 98 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: What's our behavior we should expect in this second leg 99 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: of a bullmarket? 100 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 4: I think it's it's still that the micro is going 101 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 4: to trump the ever concerns over the world is a 102 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 4: more dangerous place macro uncertainty. Companies are going to grow 103 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: their free cash at about fifteen percent in twenty twenty four. 104 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 4: Valuations today for US stocks large cap and small cap, 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 4: I think bode over the next three to five years 106 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 4: to compound at a seven to eight percent price gain 107 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 4: and in the dividend, and it's hard to beat that 108 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: anywhere outside the US. So I think continuing to migrate 109 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 4: into US stocks and for those small cap stocks, maybe 110 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 4: a little less money into private equity given the leverage 111 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: and deploying that in small cap makes sense too. 112 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: David, thank you. A great way to start the second quarter. 113 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: He is mister Sarby. David Sarby. He's a huge fan 114 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: of the undefeated Detroit Typers. The closest ball Sween and 115 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: I got to five beta Kap was a cliff notes. 116 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 3: Greek remember Greek one on one in the school. 117 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: It was like a one week course. Then you took 118 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 2: Latin one on one and that was it. That was 119 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 2: just because five Beta Cap was a great sorority. She's 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: the real deal. Lori Calvissina, for years of credits we 121 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: sent unto RBC, has delivered intelligence on something nobody wants 122 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: to talk about, which is small cabs. Paul, you guys 123 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: can explain this. Small cabs like every ten years they're 124 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: in right and then they go on hiatus. Yeah, she's 125 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: the smartest in the block. 126 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,239 Speaker 6: There's no other way to put it exactly. 127 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 5: Lri Cavalsina joins us here in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio. 128 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 5: She does a mill it in Lori Cavalsina is the 129 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 5: head of US equity strategy for RBC Capital Markets. LOURI 130 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 5: were up twenty five percent since those October lows. I mean, 131 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 5: what's going on out there? I don't see earnings, you know, 132 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 5: rising twenty five percent in terms. 133 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 7: Of looking at the small caps specifically. 134 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's just amazing. 135 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 7: So look, I think there are a couple of things. 136 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 7: I think the big move in November December they were 137 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 7: over sold. You saw it on valuation data. You were 138 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 7: close to sort of recession type lows on forward pees 139 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 7: in the space, and positioning data wasn't at all time lows. 140 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 7: But back in twenty twenty two you had been down 141 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 7: around recession type lows. So they were starting to climb 142 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 7: out of the hole. I think when people were ready 143 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 7: to put on the FED rate cut playbooks, that's what 144 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 7: sort of sparked the November December rotation. You evaporated those 145 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 7: oversold conditions. I think where they sit today, they're due 146 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 7: for a bit of a catch up trades. You've got 147 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 7: average valuations three year high, but not all time high. 148 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 7: On positioning. There's been some debate right about what the 149 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 7: Fed's going to do and when they're going to cut 150 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 7: and if they're going to cut, but it seems like 151 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 7: we're still leaning in favor of that right now in 152 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 7: the market consensus, So I think that's causing people to 153 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 7: look at them again. And there's been some stealth stabilization 154 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 7: there right now, as many people are talking about it lately. 155 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 7: The thing that's happening now right is that economic expectations 156 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 7: are being revised up in a hurry. So you got 157 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 7: the rate cutpeede and piece in place, You've got the 158 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 7: cyclicality starting to develop. And if we get allows the 159 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 7: unemployment rate, I don't really care because small caps tend 160 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 7: to outperform around the same time the unemployment rate starts 161 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 7: to move out. 162 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: Now, I just looked at a small cap called draft Kings. 163 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: They took all my money on my final one. 164 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 3: It's my final one and right doing that. 165 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: But most small caps don't have thirty five people following 166 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: them like the popular DraftKings. Is your world removed from 167 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: the financial world because so few people follow small caps, 168 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: so there. 169 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 7: Are fewer people. I mean, frankly, you know, just over 170 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 7: start doing small cap in two thousand and seven, and 171 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 7: I would I can't even calculate how long I've been 172 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 7: doing it, but I think I did notice as ZSG 173 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 7: really took off. I saw a lot of my small 174 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 7: cap portfolio managers repurposed as ESG investors, you know, kind 175 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 7: of move from an area that was struggling a little 176 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 7: bit to a hotter part of the market. So there's 177 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 7: a been a big etfhysation of the small cap world. 178 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 7: And you know, in terms of the au WIM that's there. 179 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 7: But the active managers, you know, they're still out there 180 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 7: doing good work. They really try to be out of consensus. 181 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 7: They try to find hidden gems and I think, you know, 182 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 7: there are some benchmark issues that make it kind of tough, right, 183 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 7: But in general, you know, I think a lot of 184 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 7: the small cap pms I see, you know, they are 185 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 7: talked to. They just feel a lot of opportunity out 186 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 7: there because frankly, there are fewer eyeballs on. 187 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 5: The space you mentioned ESG. How does that figure into 188 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 5: kind of your work in general? How does RBC think 189 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 5: about Yeah, you. 190 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 7: Know, I had a phenomenal associate. Her name was Sarah Mahaffey, 191 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 7: and we spun her out I think in twenty twenty, 192 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 7: twenty twenty one to be our ESG strategist. Okay, So 193 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 7: to be honest, we've just really it became such a 194 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 7: big thing it didn't make sense as part of my 195 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 7: product really, and she was just doing a phenomenal job 196 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 7: with it. So I really do feel like it's kind 197 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 7: of its own world, the same way Small Cap was 198 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 7: its own world for me back in two thousand and 199 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 7: seven or so. It comes up less in my conversations 200 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 7: for general equity strategy. I think people who are going 201 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 7: to incorporate it into their process have done it, and 202 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 7: they've got their system set up and they go talk 203 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 7: to Sarah because she's still the real, you know, sort 204 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 7: of expert on it. But that's very different from maybe 205 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 7: say five years ago, when everyone was trying to get 206 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 7: smart on it. 207 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 6: In the US. 208 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 5: Right, it seems like maybe in the US it's it's 209 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: kind of waned a little bit, whereas I know in 210 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 5: Europe it's still the place to be. Where do you 211 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 5: see opportunities here? I'm not sure if it's mark a cap, 212 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 5: it's if it's factor, if it's sector, where are you 213 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 5: seeing opportunities right here? Because a lot of folks are saying, poay, 214 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 5: this market's moves pretty aggressively. 215 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 7: You know, Look, I make sector calls, I don't talk 216 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 7: about them quite as much in my meetings the last 217 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 7: few months. You know, we've been talking a bit about 218 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 7: energy utilities recently. But the reality is it's mag seven 219 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 7: versus everything else. And everything else can include small caps, financials, energy, healthcare. 220 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 7: There's a lot of stuff that looks really interesting out 221 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 7: there in your meetings. 222 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: And you're a worker bee and you're in all sorts 223 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: of meetings where I'm sure people are saying, look, I 224 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: miss this. I missed last October, I missed two octobers ago. 225 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 2: Forget about nvidiing all that, LORI kelvisina. How do I 226 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: catch up? How do I enter the market? You're not 227 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: going to give me dollar cost averaging right right? 228 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 7: And look what I'm telling people is, let's start on 229 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 7: why we missed it. What I think essentially happened in 230 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 7: twenty twenty two is we had something really really close 231 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 7: to a recession two negative GDP quarters any valuation metric 232 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 7: and small cap or just general sentiment barometer. I can 233 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 7: look at to recession type. 234 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: Without without the stimulus. 235 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 7: I think everybody's right, And you know, why did people 236 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 7: feel so bad? 237 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: Right? 238 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 7: You look at the Michigan's Consumer Sentiment index, it went 239 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 7: down to recession type loos or worse than a recession 240 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 7: as inflation spike. So the misery index did what it 241 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 7: does typically in a recession, but it did it because 242 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 7: of inflation spiking, not unemployment spiking. So I think you 243 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 7: have to look at recovery traits. Small caps are part 244 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 7: of that, cyclicals are part of that. Financials are part 245 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 7: of that is kind of the plumbing of the economy, 246 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 7: and you look for things that have these recovery aspects 247 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 7: that still have some good valuations in them. 248 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 5: How about energy. I got wt CUD oil. 249 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 2: I look this week and it's amazing how x on 250 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: is behind. 251 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 5: Yes, I filled up the ride this weekend. Then there's 252 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 5: a sure three dollars and twenty cents a gallen. What's 253 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 5: going on with energy? 254 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 7: So look, energy is a cheap sector. Despite the move, 255 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 7: it still looks cheap, both large cap and small cap. 256 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 7: If the oil prices continue to be strong, then we'll 257 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 7: see the earnings revisions come. They haven't really yet, But 258 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 7: I think this sector is one in inflation edge, and 259 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 7: two I also think that it's just a different sector 260 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 7: than five ten years ago, the ESG concerns have kind 261 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 7: of fallen by the wayside. The dividend yield is the 262 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 7: highest of any S and P sector, and it's also 263 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 7: very very high relative to history. So in an S 264 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 7: and P five hundred world where very few companies offer 265 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 7: a dividend yield and access and the ten year treasury, 266 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 7: you can find a lot of that and energy if 267 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 7: you're an income seeking in. 268 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: My theme quickly, my theme two years ago was a 269 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: roll up, the great zombie roll up, and it can 270 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: be zombies or frankly, can be quality companies. Is that's 271 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: what's coming this year, as we're going to see a 272 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: roll up a small cap in a mid, mid into large. 273 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 7: I don't know if you're you know, I've had some 274 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 7: questions on M and A and if it's coming back. 275 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 5: You know. 276 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 7: One PM I talked to recently was talking about how 277 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 7: the and the small k PM's all right, look at 278 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 7: their portfolios end of the year. How many takeouts did 279 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 7: I have? But one guy tell me it was as 280 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 7: low as he's seen it in the history of his career, 281 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 7: and so he's sort of wondering if it's coming back. 282 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 7: The only thing that gives me a little bit pause 283 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 7: in saying that it is is that I do think 284 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 7: one of the things that pushes M and A is 285 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 7: the idea that economic growth is lacking and economic growth 286 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 7: forecasts are picking up in a hurry. So I'm not 287 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 7: saying he's wrong, but I don't know that the need 288 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 7: to go out and buy growth is all that strong. 289 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 3: Lori Kelvistine to thank you. 290 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: Soone's terrific brief back to back David Sawerby and Lori Kelvisina, 291 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,479 Speaker 2: inspired by the surveillance scenes inspired. 292 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 5: I mean, it's a nut back there. And that's somebody 293 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 5: who's this weekend. 294 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: Ian Bremer's smartest guy in the block. He stole from 295 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: Bloomberg News. Emery Pakar who joins us now, who was 296 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: definitive in corporate finance, and you know the crash and 297 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: all that seven eight oh nine, and now is on 298 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: the Turkey Watch for Eurasia Group and we're thrilled at 299 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: memory in short notice could join us this morning. The 300 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: shock of this election emirate and I look at Airdawan 301 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: saying this is my roots. I was the mayor. Istanbul 302 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: is my heart. But he's lost. Istanbul. What does it 303 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: signal for someone? Twenty two years on the watch. 304 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks for having me on, Tom, great to be 305 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 8: on show. So I think it says two things. The 306 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 8: first and groundshaking one is that add On and the 307 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 8: AKP's dominance of Turkish politics is over. As you will 308 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 8: well know that people used to call the teflon ardon right. 309 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 8: Nothing bad stuck to him ever, including very bad economic circumstances. 310 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 8: But going forward to add On and the AKP will 311 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 8: have to fight two cent nail for every vote that 312 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 8: are down to thirty five percent now, which is roughly 313 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 8: where they started when they first found the party in 314 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 8: two thousand and one. The second point that I'd like 315 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 8: to highlight is that despite more than a decade of 316 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 8: political polarization, values, social issues, etc. At the end of 317 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 8: the day, people are still voting with their pockets. And 318 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 8: this was Turkey's version of it's the economy stupid. 319 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: What does he do with his new central bank team, 320 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: with his i'll call a chance of the exchequer? What 321 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: does he do to stop Paul what did you say, 322 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: eighty percent inflation? 323 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: Something like that? Yeah, what does to do Emory to 324 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: turn the. 325 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: Ship around other than a lira devaluation? 326 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 8: I think it sticks to the game plan in the 327 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 8: short term. Right Treasury and Finance Minister man At Shimshek 328 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 8: has been administrating the bitter pill in slow but increasingly 329 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 8: harsher doses since June of last year when he came 330 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 8: back to government took over the reins's economiz are. The 331 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 8: Central Bank is working in very close coordination with Shimshek. 332 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 8: We don't anticipate that to change, especially in the short term. 333 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 8: Ardon's comments last night also suggests that he's wedded to 334 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 8: this economic policy rebalancing normalization effort, but he will want 335 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,119 Speaker 8: to see results. So if a don't had done better yesterday, 336 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 8: Shimshek would have a much greater maneuvering room now. Adam 337 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 8: will want to see results from summer onwards, once we've 338 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 8: hit peak inflation and swaited around seventy five percent in May. 339 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 8: If Shimshik doesn't deliver, then I think we're in a 340 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 8: bit of a tight spot from fall onwards. And in 341 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 8: terms of what he will do, we spain him to 342 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 8: continue quashing consumer demands, so it's very bad for the 343 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 8: households and then selective lending to export oriented businesses, but 344 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 8: a lot of SMEs are going to be hurting from. 345 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 5: This, so right, just give us a little history lesson here. 346 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 5: How do we get to this point with the Turkish economy. 347 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 8: Let's see twenty eleven. Aard on Secure's re election as 348 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 8: Prime Minister calls it my master period and starts banging 349 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 8: on about the interest rate lobby and says high rates 350 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 8: cause high inflation. I want low rates. A succession of 351 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 8: central bank governors play magical realism, create these interest rate corridors, 352 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 8: do backdoor tightening while loosening at the front the banking 353 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 8: authority undermines what they're doing. Fiscal and monetary policy don't 354 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 8: speak to each other, and in the end Adam puts 355 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 8: all the burden on very loose credit to keep consumer 356 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 8: demanded going. You have that, especially on the back of 357 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 8: the global financial crisis and the period that followed with 358 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 8: all the qunitive easing, extra lease monte policies, negative real rates. 359 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 8: He got away with it for years and years and 360 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 8: years until he couldn't and it really accelerated under the 361 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 8: first executive presidency terms starting in twenty eighteen, when he 362 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 8: got rid of all the capable policymakers in his cabinet, 363 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 8: appointed his son in law to run the economy who 364 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 8: proceed to sell more than one hundred and twenty five 365 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 8: billion dollars in reserves to keep the currency stable. And 366 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 8: that's where we. 367 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: Ended up camera. 368 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 5: That's a lot. 369 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, in the time we got left and there's any 370 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 2: ways to go here. But let me call us at 371 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: around the US response. I don't want to do a 372 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 2: clinic now. And how smart I am on Turkey, I'm not, 373 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: but I look at someone like you, and that would 374 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: be Sonar Kagopte in his wonderful book Erdowan's Empire was 375 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: my book of the summer X years ago and his 376 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 2: new book is Assaultant in Autumn is erediwan in his 377 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 2: Autumn Facing Winter or it's seventy years old. 378 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: He just keep going. 379 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 8: I think you will find it increasingly difficult to keep going. 380 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 8: Folks that I talked to in Anka and also in 381 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 8: Istanbul who are close to the president always say that 382 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 8: add On is no different than any other successful, strong 383 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 8: Turkish leader. He will be at it until the very end. 384 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 8: So I don't anticipate add On to willfully step down 385 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 8: from any powers of positions of power. That said, yes 386 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 8: Day's election results, the makeup of parliament currently, the economic 387 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 8: challenges these are the worst circumstances he's ever faced since 388 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 8: coming to power two decades ago. So I'd absolutely agree 389 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 8: with Sona's take that this is add On's autumn. Maybe 390 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 8: we're still in the September mid September face, so there's 391 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 8: a way to go, but it's not going to be 392 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 8: easy for it. 393 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: How should mister Biden in any future administrations respond to 394 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: our NATO allies. 395 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 8: New vote business as usual? I think what the Biden 396 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 8: administration has succeeded in doing is very important, which is 397 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 8: reinstitutionalize relationships with Turkey. I anticipate that to continue because 398 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 8: Aardon also needs stability on the foreign policy front to 399 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 8: continue his balancing act between NATO Allies, Russia and the 400 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 8: Ukraine War in the Middle East, given the Israel Hamas War, 401 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 8: and in all of these things, having good relationships with 402 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 8: the US help. So I think Biden and add On 403 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 8: will continue to work in a transaction but constructive manner, 404 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 8: and add On will want to keep that up after 405 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 8: the November elections in the US, as might. 406 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: Pacar with e Raisia, Groupean Bremers.

It's a new study. 414 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: It says you would need a six figure salary. So 415 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: that's nearly a fifty percent increase just the last few years. 416 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: Here's the specifics, just to give you an idea. So 417 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: to afford a media price home, let's say nearly four 418 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: hundred and three thousand dollars, Americans need to make an 419 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: annual income of just over one hundred. 420 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 6: And ten thousand dollars. 421 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 8: It's global. 422 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 2: In Paris, the topic, well, why people they are talking 423 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: about a housing. 424 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 5: We're not our population is not exploiting. Why are we 425 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 5: just building more houses? I don't get this whole thing. 426 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's that's that is the talent of face. 427 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 6: I cannot be. 428 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 5: We got a lot of land in this country just built. 429 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 6: I'm gonna get them. Okay, Oh gosh, all right. This 430 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 6: is for the kids. 431 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: So if you have kids who are on Snapchat, there's 432 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: a paid feature. Apparently it's called Snapchat Plus. It'll cost 433 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: about four dollars a month extra. But here's here's what 434 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: it's doing. It's getting kids anxiety because it lets them 435 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: see their position in their friends digital orbits. So, for example, 436 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: it lets you know how much your friends are communicating 437 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: with you, and it puts it into like. 438 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 6: This solar system metaphor. 439 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: So if you're a mercury, that's good because that's the 440 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: planet closest to your friend. 441 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: So you see it. It does these little metaphors. 442 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: It can be shut off, but it you know, it's 443 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: on by default. So these kids are getting, you know, 444 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: into fights, these BFFs, boyfriends, girlfriends. Everyone's arguing because they're 445 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: not at the top. 446 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 6: Of the list. 447 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with the news. 448 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: This is the Mateo household. 449 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 3: About you. 450 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 6: Well, I won't pay the four dollars extra for my daughter. 451 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 6: You can't, I'll tell you that much. 452 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: This is another teen thing, Brandy Melville.
