1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Ed Heheiman joins us 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: chairman Evercore Isi, and of course out with a must 3 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: read note. And it's almost comfort to me, edheymen to 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: see your note and just observe that, you know the 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: basic idea. You start, like Alan Greenspan with trucking. Explain 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: why at Evercore ISI, where everybody hangs on every chart 7 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: and every paragraph, why does edheymen start with the trucking survey. 8 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: It Cause it's the most important thing to start with. 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: So we survey about forty different industries, and you might 10 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: ask yourself which one correlates with the economy most, and 11 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: the answer is trucking. The survey's overall, you know, trucking, retail, autos, 12 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: et cetera overall beat trucking by itself. But trucking has 13 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: the motion and so and that survey also has hooked down. 14 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: I'm looking for message signal. 15 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: Well, can you signal now the certitude of a recession 16 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: or the one of nb E R recession. 17 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: No, I've been I've been on the recession kick too long. 18 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: So I'm trying to wean yourself, not wean myself of it. 19 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to. You know, my job is to 20 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: help our clients, and this has not been helpful. Now 21 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: at this point, the logic that monetary tightening Milton Freeman 22 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: would make inflation go away has worked, and they'll curve 23 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: being inverted should slow the economy, and we're getting some 24 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: evidence to slow down, and so I should relax a 25 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: little bit. 26 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: Okay, So what do you think if you're we're gonna 27 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 3: hear from the Fed in a couple of weeks, We're 28 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: gonna get some economic data today with jobs and tomorrow 29 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 3: with the labor report. How do you think the US 30 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: economy is performing these days? 31 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: It's okay, a little spotty. Okay, some places are just booming, 32 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: not doing well, not holding up, not resilient. When some 33 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 2: places are softer, like our trucking survey has gotten a 34 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: little bit weaker, and construction is a little bit weaker 35 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: in some retail, particularly when you get into the lower 36 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: income categories, are a little bit softer. And the employment data, 37 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: which is the key, Yeah, everybody knows that, but it's 38 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: it's showing some size of softer. 39 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: We saw that with ADP. Folks in the markets move 40 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: on it. Futures flat now, future futures negative thirteen nastick 41 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: down six tens of a percent of VIC. This was 42 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: a twenty level goes out to twenty one point two two. 43 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: The Sweeney yield three point seven two percent in three 44 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: basis points, and the two year yield a little bit 45 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: of disinversion. You're a positive two ten spread. I haven't 46 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: said that since the red sox last one. The real 47 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: yield one point six seven percent. Paul, pick it up 48 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: and talk about this. 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: We're gonna have the FED presumably cutting rates and maybe 50 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: substantially starting in September. What does that mean for the 51 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: US homeowner? I mean, the mortgage rates have been high, 52 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: but not and it comes to the point where nobody 53 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 3: wants to sell their home because they don't want to 54 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: go to a new home with a higher more surge trade. 55 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: How do you think that housing market's going to react 56 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: to what should be the declining industrate environment. 57 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: It'll be good. You know, housing has had a real 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: problem with lack of supply, and I find that everywhere. 59 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: Yep. 60 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: And we do a survey of home builders, of course 61 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: you do, and that picked up quite a bit, about 62 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: six or seven points on a zero to one hundred. 63 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: When mortgage rates came down, and then this week it 64 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: dropped two points. Okay, I don't know if it's noise. 65 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: Lumber came down, So I'm trying to connect the dots 66 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 2: like it might be a little bit of signal, But 67 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: I don't get the feeling that you know, twenty five 68 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: fifty seventy five hundred basis point drop in mortgage rates, 69 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and the funds rate is going to do 70 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: a lot. 71 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got a noddy acquaintance with Boden University. I 72 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: should said Boden College up in Maine. But the real 73 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: heritage just University at Texas. You have an inherent prism 74 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: into the boom economy of Texas, of Arizona and the rest. 75 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: Where do you see that five years from now? Where 76 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: do we just continue to see this migration from California, 77 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: from New York, from Illinois and the rest. 78 00:04:53,480 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: Probably probably you know, the tax situation is better. There's 79 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: also a movement, particularly of young people like the University 80 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: of Texas, to get away from a woke environment in 81 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: the northeast. Frankly and so, and that's probably going to 82 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: keep going on. 83 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: You've kept politics out of your newsletter. I would say 84 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: anyone else. You've been really really good about it. So 85 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to quiz you now. 86 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: How you write it out? 87 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: Don't walk, Lisa, hold on him, He's not walking out 88 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: of his studio Aedheim. And how do you dance around 89 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: this unique presidential election to give advice within your newsletter 90 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: to your clients worldwide? 91 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: So it's it's a dance. And Evercore has its roots 92 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: in the very democratic group of people as founders with 93 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: Roger Roger and Ralph Flashdain and they're terrific, and so 94 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: I have to be a little careful he as a Republican, 95 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: You're not. It's their firm, and I don't want to 96 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: get in the way. But as we all know, it's 97 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty, and so it's too early to try 98 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: and figure out what the economic implications. You know, Trump 99 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 2: is giving a talk today here in New York at 100 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: the Economic Club, and we'll pick a little bit up. 101 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll be there, but yeah, traffic, that's all 102 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: I know. 103 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: And just we want to come back and continue this 104 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: discussion with that. Timen, are you a buller of bear 105 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: right now? Can you add cash to a belief in 106 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: stocks right now? 107 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: My technical analyst Rich Ross who's been very good. He 108 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: was very bearish. Now he says he's balanced. I don't 109 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: know what balance it means, right, So I'm not particularly 110 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: bullish or particularly bearish. I own a lot of stocks 111 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: on a lot of real estate. I'm nervous because things 112 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: seem like they're too high, too expensive. Somehow, it's not 113 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: a good answer for you, Tom. 114 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: That's okay, we'll keep your on Anyways. I love doing 115 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: this with that hymen. Everybody thinks he's like on a 116 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: phone with Jay. No, he's looking at you know, he's 117 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: in here, literally looking, he claims. As we start, unit 118 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: labor costs came in a little bit lighter. What do 119 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: you say about wage growth moderating nominal GDP comes down? 120 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: And then what do you say about the real wage? 121 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: Are we going to get a negative real wage? 122 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: The ways look like they're really slowing, and inflation looks 123 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: like it's really slowing, and proctivity has been really good. 124 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: And I assume it got revised up a little bit 125 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: because the GDP was revised up. 126 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't have the revisions yet. 127 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: It should be out. 128 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: They'll be on a couple of minutes. See how many 129 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: he's killing me? 130 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: And so you'll ever cost. I mean before the numbers 131 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: was zero point five year and year, just an increase 132 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: of zero point five and so inflation could be down 133 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: to two percent without any trouble. And by some measures 134 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: it already is down to two percent, so that that 135 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: ship is sailed. 136 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 3: So it's it FED late in cutting rates? Ed do 137 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: you think or because a lot of folks out there 138 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: saying the FED should have been cutting rates for months now? 139 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 2: They're smarter than I am? 140 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: Are they too smart? 141 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: Could be too smart? I think the FED has been 142 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: doing a pretty good job, and I'm generally critical of 143 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: the FED. But either by luck or by skill, they 144 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: have the path set now for cutting rates. And we 145 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: got claimed this morning, so it makes me have a headache. 146 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: And so they're you know, they got different mandates, so 147 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think they should have will know better 148 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: to answer that question. I do think that they were 149 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: way off on raising rates. You know, the transitory story 150 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 2: I thought was right? 151 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: Is it harder now ed Heiman to do the craft? 152 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: You stand, he's got a little tall table. He stands 153 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: out with a black one of those markers that if 154 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: you get on your shirt and he's marked, Is it 155 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: harder to do it now because of the mystery of technology, 156 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: the mystery of productivity, the polarization of the labor force 157 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: in America, the haves and they have nots. Is it 158 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: harder to do now? 159 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 2: I don't think so. It's always been very hard to do. 160 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: I agree with that. 161 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not thinking it's any harder to do 162 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 2: than it has been in the past. It's just been always, 163 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: you know, very very difficult. In some ways. The hardest 164 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: time was in the nineteen seventies, you know, when you 165 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: had the embargo, he had wage price controls, he had 166 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: inflation going nuts, he had Nixon resigning. I mean, it 167 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: was pretty what are your clients? 168 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 3: What are your clients asking you these days? That's maybe unique, 169 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: or just what do they really want from you these days? 170 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 2: I think they want a steady hand, a unbiased analysis 171 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: of what's going on, and so I tried first to 172 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: do that. You have the data on the ADP came out. 173 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 2: It has is zero calories, It doesn't have any information whatsoever. 174 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: It still moves to Wacket and we still look at 175 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: it claims. On the other hand, you are very important, right, I. 176 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: Want to go to the Economic Club of New York 177 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: and the heritage you're Paul, and to paint the picture. 178 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: Folks in the old days, you're in a huge ballroom 179 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: in New York with the elite meat degree and the 180 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: fancy people are up on stage trying not to eat 181 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: until the speech is done. That's a tradition, and you're 182 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: starving and you're looking at your food, going when do 183 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: I eat? And off to the wings, the left wing 184 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: and the right wing looking out at the people the 185 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: audience are too worthies. And then with trepidation the speaker 186 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: knows they're going to ask questions and often into the 187 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: great joy at the Economic Club of New York, Ed Heyman, 188 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: is one of those worthies You, Martin Feldstein and others 189 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: would ask really tough questions. You do that today with 190 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: former President Trump. What is your question today at twelve 191 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: noon to Donald Trump? 192 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: What are you going to do with taxes? It'd be 193 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: the main thing I would want to know. 194 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: Explain the distinction of the Harris tax policy is I'm 195 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: not first a trial ballooned versus the Trump. 196 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: Too early fair too early? You know in the news 197 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: right now there's a debate they say that Trump wants 198 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: to take the capital gains tax rate up to thirty 199 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: nine percent, maybe if Biden wants to take it up 200 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: and Harris wants to keep it something more like twenty 201 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: eight percent, but you know, as a conservative, I would 202 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: rather keep it, you know, twenty one or twenty two percent. 203 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: Explain how the taxation of unrealized gains. Paul Sweeney bought 204 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: Nvidia early. He's got a big unrealized gain and he's 205 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: not selling that puppy, and select individuals, including the senator 206 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: from Massachusetts, wants to text those unrealized kings. How does 207 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: that harm not wealthy people? 208 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: I think it harms everybody because it hurts the whole 209 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: capitalistic system. And so I mean that's one of the 210 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: things that I would find the most discouraging. It also 211 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: is impossible to administer, so I don't think that's going 212 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: to make it, but it definitely is low on life. 213 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: So broadly listening things would be good. 214 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: Broadly defined, where would you like to see the US 215 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: tax system go over the next several years, because obviously, 216 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 3: as you well well know, there's many different polar different 217 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: thoughts on that. Where do you think it should go? 218 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: I'm happy with it right right now. I think we're 219 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: paying enough taxes and so I'm not interested in, you know, 220 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: seeing taxes go up. And I don't. I don't get 221 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: this sense that the Harris Democrats group really are pushing 222 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: for higher taxes either. There's some parts are, but I 223 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: don't know. 224 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 3: How about the how about I would love to get 225 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 3: your perspective on the debt and deficits. I've been hearing 226 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 3: about it. 227 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 2: My entire life. Wait, I have to worry about it. 228 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, you too, But you were directly involved with this 229 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: with Pete Peterson, Paul Suga, Sam nunn An the others. 230 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: I mean, someone say they've been crying, well for years, 231 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: we're still here. But are we at a tip point 232 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: now that those people talked about it? 233 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: So I don't think so, but I think about it 234 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: all the time. I had a deep conversation yesterday with 235 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: Lee Cooperman, who was extremely upset about it, and I said, Lee, 236 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: bonniels are so low and the dollar is so strong. 237 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: Those are the two things that would make you say 238 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: this is now and it's. 239 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: Not Take your work into John Gollop's work. We've got 240 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: to go here at Hymen, but fold your economics into 241 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: the evercore ISI equity call. 242 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: So we've been on the equity call. Uh, we've been 243 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: pretty bearish on the stock market, and so that's where 244 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: I am right now. Frankly, we have a strategist and 245 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: a technician that have different views. 246 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: Well that's good, it's a classic. It's at timen views. 247 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: Well no, but I'm just saying I listened to them. 248 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: So right now, the economy's fine, earnings are good, inflation's 249 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: coming down, Fed's going to cut and it's okay. 250 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: Edman, thank you so much for being with us today here, 251 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: end of the job. 252 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: Nice to see Nice to see you as well. 253 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: Him with Evercore is SI dancing around the politics of 254 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: the moment.
