WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Sam Stovall & Alicia Levine

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. A single best idea

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and the single best idea over twenty years ago was

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>some people trusted me to generate conversations and to generate

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>longer conversations and the media a typical American conversation. It's

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>very difficult for Europeans, where there's a much longer conversation.

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But it was three four minutes. Anything over for zero

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>zero was sacrilegi. I mean, you can't do that. Nobody

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>can go longer. And a major shout out to people

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>like don Imus Howard Stern, A major shout out to

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Rose, who had the courage to develop longer conversations

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>from a time ago. Today was one of those magical

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>we're back to back. We had Alicia Levigne, but first Robert,

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, look at me. Robert Stovall, his father, Sam Stovall,

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>his son. I believe Sam Stovall showed up curious Sam Stovall.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>On Clint Eastwood.

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I got the best bit of investment advice from Clint

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Eastwood when he was playing Dirty Harry in the movie

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Magnum Force. A man's got to know his limitations and

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>basically emotions tend to be an investor's worst enemy, and

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>so extracting your emotions and using declines in the market,

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>using technical analysis to see how far the decline is

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>likely to go, etc. Can then help you to buy

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>on the dips, also realizing, as I mentioned, it takes

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>only about four months on average to get back to

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>break even from declines of up to twenty percent. By

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the time you freaked out your financial advisor to lighten

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>up on your equity exposure, the market's probably already on

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>its way back to break even, and on average the

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>market gains an additional ten percent after the conclusion of

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>a correction or a decline of up to twenty percent

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>runs it.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>That's all I can say what he just said there,

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>which is all the heritage of a Stoveall family, what

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>happens at CFRA and goes back to the research of

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>John Murphy and Ed Heyman and the rest. To use

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>technical analysis to figure out where you are within the

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>fear is the number one use of the lines that

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>charts the exes and the o Sam Stovall there classic.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Then we got better. Alicia Levine showed up with their

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>prodigious mathematics from B and Y let's listen.

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 3>It's hard for me to see us getting to three

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>percent growth, right. What you had in the eighties was

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 3>three percent growth. So that's really what you need for

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 3>nominal earnings, right, because earnings are nominal and growth is nominal.

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 3>The thing here is, I just think what everybody's missing

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 3>is the resiliency of corporate America and the resiliency of households.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Of households, I have a chart that I use which

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 3>shows the crushing of the household's balance sheet of debt

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 3>to assets. It is a crushing from fifteen years ago

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>of the global financial crisis. It's basically been cut in half.

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Households are so resilient and there are fifty three trillion

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>dollars wealthier than they were five years ago. So your assets,

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 3>your financial assets, are going higher and your liabilities as

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>a percent of assets are going lower. So you've got

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 3>healthy balance sheets in the household sector. All that debt,

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>of course was transferred to the government. But the households

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 3>are resilient, and corporate America is resilient. Large cap are resilient,

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 3>less so for small cap because they've got floating right debt.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 3>But during a place where there's much more resiliency than

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 3>the conversation we're hearing Alicia.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Levine of BNY across the nation and your commute thank
