1 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keene Jaily. 2 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg. Let's 5 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: do this. Let's dispense with the formalities right now and 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: get to David Ricks Eli Lily chairman and CEO, and 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: I do this. John and Lisa have a lot of 8 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: questions about the news yesterday, But David, I think there's 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: massive confusion over all of these fancy words, and particularly 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: around vaccine, around anybody treatment. We conflate bacterial and virus 11 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: therapies on top of each other. How does a vaccine 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: differ from the antibody treatment you announced yesterday? Well, thanks 13 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: for me on Tom, and it's any news last night 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: with the emergency Use authorization in the US for our 15 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: monoclonal antibody neutralizing antibody, which is a therapy that you're 16 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: to be given in this approval if you have new, 17 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: newer onset disease, so a positive test and symptoms, and 18 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: particularly if you fall into a high risk group, you 19 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: have underlying conditions or you're older, then you can take 20 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: this therapy and in our studies that reduced the probability 21 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: that you go to the hospital pretty dramatically by sevent um. 22 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: So that's an important step, another tool now UM to 23 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: help manage this disease just when we need it most there. 24 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: In terms of how it works, you're asking what we 25 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: did actually was UM. When your body is infected with 26 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: a virus, it amounts a variety of immune responses. One 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: of them is we create antibodies, which have been much 28 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: talked about in these antibody testing UM. These antibodies, UH 29 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: lock up the virus and dispose of it. What we 30 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: did was took antibodies from surviving patients early in the pandemic. 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: We isolated the very most potent ones in one in 32 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: this case, and now we make it in a factory 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: synthetically and give it medicine. This is really important. David Ricks. 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Can you suggest, just suggest that this bacterial like anibody therapy, 35 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: almost like a bacterial antibiotic, could be a substitute for 36 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: a true vaccine. Well, we're studying UM what we call 37 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: passive immunization in a in a setting where you're trying 38 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: to prevent spread. In our case, we're looking at spread 39 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: within nursing home facilities. It's similar to vaccination in a way. 40 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: So when you get a vaccine, we introduce a killed 41 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: or modified version of a part of a virus, and 42 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: your body recognizes that as foreign and mounts its own 43 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: antibody response. Here, what we're doing is we're giving you 44 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the antibody response of someone else prior to getting sick. 45 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: It's in a study, it's not approved by the FDA, 46 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: and we don't have the data yet, but that's a 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: very interesting approach, and if we look at other viruses 48 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: like ebol, even this was the setting where these antibodies 49 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: made the biggest difference. Of course in the US, and 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: I think around the world, nursing home patients, elderly nursing 51 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: comes are at the highest risk. So this would be 52 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: an important positive event if it occurred, and we should 53 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: have that data in the coming weeks. They have to 54 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: build on what Tom's discussing. I think we're trying to 55 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: ask the question as to whether we need a multi 56 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: pronged approach here, not just the advance when we heard 57 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: from Fiser yesterday, but maybe also complemented by what you're 58 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: doing as well. One thing that stuck out for us 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: all yesterday, it's just the storage of the m RNA 60 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: vaccine that fights are moving forward with, and how difficult 61 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: it is to store it really really freezing cold temperatures day. 62 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Can you speak to that, the developments there on that side, 63 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: and how difficult it will be actually to distribute something 64 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: like that widely and everywhere. Well, for for the messenger 65 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: our inn A vaccines, they are fragile molecules, so they 66 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: need to be held at a very very low temperature. 67 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: That will likely not I don't think that's going to 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: be a major barrier UM. Once this is broadly available 69 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: in developed markets with advanced medical systems UM, where it 70 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: becomes a problem is where refrigeration and available capacities UM 71 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: in developing countries. UM. You know, it's gonna be much 72 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: tougher and we'll take longer. That's why we have uh. 73 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, two of the leading ten UM vaccines are 74 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: using this technology. Eight aren't and likely won't have those 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: refrigeration constriction restrictions. I suspect some of those will work 76 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: as well. I bet on that, and we'll likely end 77 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: up with multiple shots on goal with vaccines. In the meantime, 78 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: none of them will work a percent of the time, 79 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: and back to the original question, will still need medicines 80 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: like our anibody therapy to help those that will still 81 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: get sick, hopefully at a much lower rate as we 82 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: approach something like um herd immunity, but you'll still have 83 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: endemic disease and we'll need therapies we have. There's many 84 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 1: examples where this is true, including common respiratory viruses like RSV, 85 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: where we have both vaccination and antibodies. They can go together, 86 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: but together. I mean this is in the last forty 87 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: eight hours we have two important developments in the fight 88 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: against COVID nineteen. I think the future is looking more 89 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: certain and brighter for sure. To build though on what 90 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: John is talking about, there are some practical concerns as 91 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: all of the pharmaceutical companies try to ramp up production, 92 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: and I'm wondering supply chain issues, especially as a pandemic worsens. 93 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: The idea that all of these different pharmaceutical companies are 94 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: trying to go for the same thing and probably sourcing 95 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: some of the same uh some of the same substances, 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: as well as using some of the same staffers, how 97 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: well can you ramp up production of the antibody therapies 98 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: to meet demand in the next couple of months. Well, 99 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry so much about that competition phase where 100 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: we're competing our ideas. I think once it's clear they're winners, 101 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: you'll see the industry come together to make product at scale. 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: That's already occurred in the antibody space where Rosian, Regenera 103 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: and who have a different approach from Lily's, have teamed up. 104 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: We've teamed up with am Gin and then all of 105 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: the largest contract manufacturing organizations in the world, like Samsung 106 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: and Fuji to build out that supply base. So I 107 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: don't think you're we're wasting material by by competing in 108 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: that way. Of course, antibodies are complicated to make, one 109 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: of the most complicated medicines we make, and we usually 110 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: reserve them for severe disease like cancer and autommunity. Here 111 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about treating thousands millions of people potentially with 112 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: these antibodies. It will strain that system and we will 113 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: have scarcity, that's for sure. That's why the FDA last night, 114 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: when they approved this, really asked doctors to use it 115 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: in the highest risk patients. That's appropriate, so we use 116 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: it where it matters most these a serious issues. We 117 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: have about thirty seconds left and i'd i'd love for 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: you to do me a favor on just the light 119 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: and note, can you explain the offside rule to Tom 120 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Kane and about twenty seconds? Can you do that for us? 121 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: You're talking about in football? Yes, of course offside just 122 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: when when the offensive players in front of the defensive 123 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: player prior to the ball being struck. Of course, once 124 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: the ball struck he can run in front. It doesn't matter. 125 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: That's different from hockey, where the blue line is what matters. Oh, 126 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: thank you, that's very good, David Rickster. And of course 127 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: the sport of Eli lily to our Olympic Committee which 128 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: they've been committed to for for many years. Last week 129 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: it was Guernsey in the U S election. This week 130 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: it's the great rotation East Anglia and Latin bat Chappa 131 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: is joining us. Now she's sitting there wondering what is 132 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: it about to happen on this show? Join us from 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: sock Jan she's the head of US right strategy and 134 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: a place to say. She's still here. So Batra, let's 135 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: just start with the bond market move of yesterday. You 136 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: first take please, a spectacular move higher in in yield, 137 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: and you know, basically the market has been all over 138 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: the place supposed to be unwe the reflation trade after 139 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: the election, and then we had to reflate in a 140 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: rush yesterday. Um, so we've we've broken through some key 141 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: uh you know, technical levels yesterday, and I think that 142 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: they set off, like you said with with equities set 143 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: off in the bond market could have legs as well. 144 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: There's just a lot of cash in the sidelines that 145 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: needs to be put to work, and if there's an opportunity, 146 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: I think you're going to see a departure away from 147 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,559 Speaker 1: bonds into into risky assets. It's about a really important question. 148 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: I did the math yesterday. I used JP Morgan just 149 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: as a giant financial success. And yes it's come off 150 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: the bottom, but it's nowhere back to the pre Valentine's 151 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Day trend. It needs to go up another fourteen percent 152 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: sort of to get back to trend. Don't call me 153 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: on that, folks, Those are rough numbers. Did you see 154 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: a Catharsis yesterday going upper? Job so Bradra that did 155 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: you see a Catharsis that speaks to a new bull 156 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: market or a new leg of a bowl market. Well, 157 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm not an equity strategist, so I kind of a 158 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: comment on the on the on the on the equity market, 159 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: but from the bond side of the equation, I think 160 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: one of the things that happened after the election was 161 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: positioning was a lot cleaner. There were a lot of 162 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: shorts going into the into the elections that got cleaned up. 163 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: And when we got this sort of surprise news from Fiser, 164 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: you saw this this sort of you know, massive sell 165 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: off in bonds. And I think that the going forward, 166 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: what the market is going to be focused on is is, 167 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: like you mentioned earlier about what happens on the vaccine 168 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: side of the equation. Um, you know, there's lots of 169 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: logistical issues that need to be dealt with. It's a 170 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: it's a it's a very large deployment from perhaps several 171 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: different vaccine makers, and and how that gets ruled out 172 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: is going to be very key on how the bond 173 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: market reacts and how equities react as well. And I 174 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: think for for a change, you're gonna see more correlation 175 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: or sort of more negative correlation between equities and bonds 176 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: where you see you know, riskond days and equities and 177 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: the sell off in bonds. But I'm losing the neat 178 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: narrative here. I gotta be honest. Yesterday I was really 179 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: confused because we've got tenure yields shooting higher, seismic move 180 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: you have break even rates, the expectation for longer term 181 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: inflation not doing that much, so this isn't necessarily a 182 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: surge in long term growth prospects. And all of a 183 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: sudden you've got junk bonds yields at record lows, even 184 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: though we've got an unemployment rate that still is a 185 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: nero historic highs in the recent era. What's the narrative? So, 186 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, I would say, broadly speaking, real yields as 187 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: well as break evens heading in the right direction. We 188 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: hit a load of negative one percent in tennie real 189 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: yields that's gone up to a closer negative ad basis points. 190 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: And then in break evens as well, you saw about 191 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: a six or seven basis point rise and break evens. 192 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: So it's it's heading in the right direction. That's what 193 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: you want to see in a reflation trade, higher real 194 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: yields and wider break evens the question is one of caution. 195 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: It's really hard for the bond market to price in 196 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: a lot of exuberance in a very short period of time, 197 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: given the fact that the FED is very much at 198 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: play and there's really no certainty on a lot of fronts. 199 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: I mean, there's not there's not good it's not clear 200 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: that we're going to get any sort of fiscal stimulus 201 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: by the end of the year. Even if we do, 202 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: it's not going to be of the magie to that's 203 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: required by the by the economy to prevent new term 204 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: damage in the jobs market. Sespparentially mentioned the Federal Reserve, 205 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: and for me, it's the recovery through twenty one that 206 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: we all hope for, whether feds new reaction function will 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: start to come into its own, where good news will 208 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: just be good news because the FED is set we 209 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: will not step in. How are you thinking about that 210 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: after the news of the twenty four hours Well, I 211 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: think the FED is doing exactly what they should be doing, 212 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: which is the staining path. Right. There's not much they 213 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: can do on the monetary policy side to stimulate the economy. 214 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: What really need, what the economy really needs now is 215 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: on the fiscal side if there is sort of an 216 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: unruly sell off in bonds, and I can see the 217 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: FED step in, But there's really no need for for 218 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: any sort of monetary stimulus at the current time. Financial conditions, 219 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: broadly speaking, are extraordinarily easy. You're looking at interestrates and 220 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: historic blows, you know, equity markets and historic highs the 221 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: dollars week. So there's really not much the Fed can 222 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: do to move the needle. Really, the stimulus has to 223 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: come on the fiscals time side to stop job losses. 224 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: It's about a right to catch up. As Owise selk Jan, 225 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do John Fern, Liza bramoitts into 226 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: all of you on radio and TV, is bring you 227 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: more than the markets. We're looking at economics, finance, investment 228 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: as horrific virus. As we speak to scientists, sometimes we 229 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: speak to politicians. Kethy Hokel is a Lieutenant governor of 230 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the Empire State. She knows the trajectory of the Erie 231 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: Canal as it opened up western New York and from 232 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: Onondaga to Munroe to Erie County, it is a yellow zone. 233 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: The Lieutenant governor joins us this morning, Cathy, what does 234 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: the yellow zone, and what does it mean as you 235 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: confront a new virus. Well, thank you for having me 236 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: back on the show, and yes, I'm embedded in that 237 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: yellow zone right now. Yellow means caution, and it says 238 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: that if our numbers don't start trending downward, reversing where 239 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: we've been for the last two weeks, we'll be in 240 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: in a situation where we're heading to orange and red, 241 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: and those means we will have shutdowns, and we'll be 242 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: trying very hard not to get to a situation where 243 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: we have to reverse the progress we've made on reopening. 244 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: But our schools also have to do more testing. We've 245 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: limited the number of people at gatherings. So it's not 246 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario, but it's a warning to our 247 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: residence here that I've been saying for days. Now change 248 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: your behavior or you'll be locked out of your favorite 249 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: restaurant and you have no chance of going through a 250 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: football game in person this year, and a lot of 251 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: other consequences. So it's basically trying to stay beware and 252 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: change your behavior starting today, Lieutenant Governor of the Conceit 253 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: is the big cities have ample medicine, ample hospitalization. I 254 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: think of strong and that complex and Rochester over in Buffalo, 255 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: you've seen a positivity rate that is just exploded. Are 256 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: you concerned with Governor Cuomo about the hospitalization facilities available? 257 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: The good news is is that we are prepared for 258 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: even more capacity, far more capacity in the early months 259 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: of this pandemic, and the Governor made sure that we 260 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: had ample supplies of PPE and all the hospitals, each 261 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: one was required to have at least a three months 262 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: additional supply. I've been in regular charge with their leadership 263 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: of the hospitals. Yes, our numbers have gone up, but 264 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: it's about maybe people in hospitals in Western York. We 265 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: can handle that now. But you're absolutely right, it's something 266 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: that if the numbers, you know, the number of people 267 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: testing positive, if they turn into serious cases and hospitalizations required, 268 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: we're going to have to get back to the eliminating 269 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: the elective surgeries and a lot of the unessential procedures 270 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that are now going on, so we can create the 271 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: capacity very quickly. Though. We are actually have unfortunately a 272 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: lot of experience dealing with this and we'll be able 273 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: to handle it in the meantime, Cathy, yesterday we got 274 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: incredible news on the vaccine front from Fiser, A lot 275 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: of people expecting a turn, perhaps an end to the 276 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: pandemic next year, but there's a lot of daylight between 277 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: now and then, and some people saying that will reduce 278 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: the emphasis on a fiscal support plan from Washington, d C. 279 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: From your vantage point, how much does this take pressure 280 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: off of Washington to help with the twelve billion dollar 281 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: bailout for the m t A, to help with the 282 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: unemployment as more people get laid off as the virus 283 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: counts go up, and just help financially going forward. I 284 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: don't think they're related. I don't think that having a 285 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: vaccine takes the pressure off at all, because we've already 286 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: lost that money. We've already lost the revenues and the 287 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: feeds generated from people using our transportation systems or from 288 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: the sales tax revenues that were not collected, and the 289 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: extraordinary cost that we had to incur just fighting this 290 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: pandemic and are still paying for now. That's not gone 291 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: away with the vaccine, And the truth is this vaccine 292 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: is going to take a while to be wildly disseminated 293 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: and have a real impact now. Governor Cuomo this summer 294 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: started working on this, you know, very early on to 295 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: have a widespread distribution plan in the state of New York, 296 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: one that's quite different from what the White House is proposing, 297 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: where they're saying they're going to get into the hands 298 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: of doctors and to the pharmacies. Would is great if 299 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: you live in an area that has a lot of 300 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: doctors and pharmacies, but large parts of New York City, 301 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: or what we call healthcare deserts, they don't have a 302 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: right A or CVS or Walgreens. Where are they supposed 303 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: to get it? So we're focused in New York. I'm 304 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: making sure that communities that have been hardest hit that 305 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: make sure that they're not left out of the distribution 306 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: of the vaccine early on as well, because many of 307 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: those individuals in the black and brown communities, they're the 308 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: frontline workers, they're the health care workers, they're the mt 309 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: mt A workers. So we want to make sure that 310 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: there's the plan includes everyone and is fairly distributed as 311 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Lieutenant Government. Just to finish on a 312 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: final question about restrictions, We've seen restrictions from Massachusetts, we've 313 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: seen it from Utah, and yesterday evening we saw it 314 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: from the government New Jersey, Mr Murphy, Now Phil Murphy 315 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: outlined a plan that we're all familiar with here in 316 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: the UK, which is to close down indoor dining from 317 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: ten pm. We're familiar with that. Because it didn't end there. 318 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: Something else came next, Cathy, do you see merit in 319 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: that approach? Lieutenant Governor? Do you think that is a 320 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: good approach to allow indoor dining to shut at tempm? 321 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: Does that make sense to you to stop at temp M. 322 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: We actually have a restaurants have to shut down at 323 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: midnight in New York City and that is part of 324 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: our Yellow Zone in fact, and you know upstate New 325 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: York those counties that you referenced earlier will now be 326 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: having restaurants shut down at midnight because people tend to 327 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: the more you drink, the more you're out, you know, 328 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: more likely to gather at parties afterwards. You just analyze 329 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: human behavior. Your defenses go down the more alcohol you've consumed, 330 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: the left you are to be compliant about wearing the mask. 331 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: So we think it makes sense. The issue that we 332 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: have here, though, Lieutenant Governor, is it didn't stop there, 333 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: and it clearly wasn't sufficient. You're not at all concerned 334 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: that twelve doesn't make sense, tend doesn't make sense that 335 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: actually you need to get ahead of what's about to 336 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: happen through winter. Well you'res you're asking if it's going 337 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: to be more a restrictive Well, the numbers will dictate 338 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: that in the state of New York and New York 339 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: City's infection rate was one eight percent on Friday, it 340 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: has creeped up to about two point five percent. So clearly, yes, 341 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: we are watching those numbers. And as we head into 342 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: various zones, the one zone that does require a shutdown 343 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: of restaurants is that is the red zone. What we're 344 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: now doing is limiting the number of people at tables. 345 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: You can't have ten people at the table, you can 346 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: only at for so everything you're talking about, we are 347 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: watching what going on in other states. But New York 348 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: still maintains that we are the lowest large state infection ry. 349 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: I think a couple of rural states are maybe a 350 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: little bit lower than us, but we want to maintain that. 351 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right that everything has to be on 352 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: the table to consider if we get to that situation. 353 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: At sending Governor, we appreciate your time and howefully will 354 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: catch up against and Cathy. How cool that Mr Pharaoh 355 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: identifies that spread between Russell two thousands small cap is 356 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: indicated by the big tech is negative. Big tech negative 357 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: of Russell two thousand is positive. Stampsovo has seen this before. 358 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: He's a cfi A. Well, actually none of us have 359 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: seen what we saw yesterday, and it will go and 360 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: you acclaim stock almanac, Sam Stovo, just your single summary 361 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: of how unusual was yesterday? Well, Tom, very unusual. I 362 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: mean we were up uh more than five percent at 363 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: one point on the day, and then we closed up 364 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: one on the S and P five. So when you 365 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: look to you know, closing percent changes, Um, it's just 366 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: simply a blip. We had five times this year that 367 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: we're even substantially stronger. On March we were up nine 368 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: point in a single day. Um. And so I would 369 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: say it would certainly add excitement to one's portfolio, but 370 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: certainly not adding a lot in terms of asset value. 371 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: Right now, Sam, yesterday was a catch up tride. We 372 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: can all agree on that the names, the parts of 373 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: the market that were left behind all caught up. What 374 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: people thought it was safe suddenly became a massive risk 375 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: you reprice Boom twenty four as done or is it? 376 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: And Sam, that's the question right now. Was yesterday the 377 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: catch up trade or the beginning of a durable trend? 378 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: Now that's really difficult to identify with one day's price action. 379 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: But Sam, do you have a cool on that? Well? 380 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: I think that you know when you look to the 381 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: individual day then you know you're absolutely correct. Um, you 382 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: had basically seventy of the near one hundred and fifties 383 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: sub industries in the SMP in positive territory, so it 384 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: was pretty broadly diversified. The SMP six was up close 385 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: to five in the single day. Mid caps are up 386 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: three percent versus the large caps a little more than 387 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: one percent. Game. I think that because investors are saying, 388 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: we've got ten companies around the world that are in 389 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: phase three trials of a COVID nineteen virus vaccine, that 390 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: even if Fiser's stumbles a little bit, we still have 391 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: nine more that we can work with. And so Wall 392 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: Street is looking beyond the valley, it's looking beyond the 393 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: spike right now and saying six to twelve months from now, 394 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: things will be growing. And the real question is by 395 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: how much will analysts be elevating their two thousand and 396 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: twenty one estimates, and we all have to look beyond 397 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: this valley just to stay upright, frankly, because the pandemic 398 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: hasn't been that fun. That said, you still have to 399 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: start wondering about valuations. Yes, we are going to reach 400 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: some sort of new normal, but record highs basically in 401 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the equity indices, and this is predicated 402 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: on the idea that interest rates will stay low. At 403 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: what point will treasury yields rise high enough to offset 404 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: that narrative to basically say we have to reset valuations. Yes, 405 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: it's a better world, but valuations got too high for 406 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: where rates maybe well, good point. If you look at 407 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: it on an absolute basis, basically everything looks expensive. SMPI 408 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: trading at twenty two point four times next twelve month 409 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: and TM earnings, which is a thirty premium to its 410 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: average over the last twenty years. Every sector except financials 411 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: and healthcare are trading at double digit premiums on a 412 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: relative basis. However, only consumer discretionary and energy are trading 413 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: at double digit premiums to the market. So I guess 414 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: it really depends on whether we're going to be seeing 415 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: rotation or an actual retreat right now. From a technical perspective, 416 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: I think we have to see interest rates go above 417 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: one in order for us to see a technical rotation 418 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: from a bearish trend to a neutral trend. And then 419 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: I think we need to see interest rates rise more 420 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: dramatically for investors to really get scared and think that 421 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: inflation is right around the corner. And just to give 422 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: some perspective, we now have a tenure yield near session 423 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: highs at nine basis points, so about five basis points 424 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: away from that one percent mark. There is also a 425 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: question of whether this rotation means losses for big tech 426 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: or just under performance. What's your take on that, sand Well, 427 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: right now we're going for um losses or under performance, 428 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: actually near term losses, but more longer term under performance. 429 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: When you look at the SMP five growth minus value 430 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: on a rolling twelve month basis, we hit an all 431 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: time high in August and then again in September, meaning 432 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: that going back to the twelve months present change for 433 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: growth stocks minus uh that that for value was at 434 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: about thirty five percentage points higher than where we were 435 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: during the tech bubble of the late nineties. So, uh, 436 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: it just seeing that it was a matter of time 437 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: before we saw some sort of rotation away from growth 438 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: and toward value, which were in the very early phases 439 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: of right now. So, Sam, this rise is a really 440 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: important question. Let me build on one. LEAKSA just asked 441 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: how much risk is through the index level for passive 442 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: investors just sitting and holding the SMP five hundred, given 443 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: the waitings of these huge tech names Apple six of 444 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: the SMP, Microsoft five and a half percent, Amazon about 445 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: four and a half percent. Is there a lot of 446 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: risk at the index level because of the white things? Um? 447 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 1: I guess. So. I mean, when you think about it, 448 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned technology with Microsoft and Apple, but then you've 449 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: got Facebook and the two share classes of Google in 450 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: the communications services, you have Amazon and Visa in the 451 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: consumer discretionary. So it's not just one sector. It is 452 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: spread around. Uh. And so it is a large cap 453 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: index and therefore the behemans do tend to drive the action. 454 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: But interesting, back in two thousand and eight you would 455 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: have said pretty much the same thing. Um, ditto back 456 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: in two thousand Yet the equal weight five tends to 457 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: fall more precipitously in the early phases of bear Mark 458 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: it's or or corrections, so it is interesting, but the 459 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: they do offer ballast because of their size, because of 460 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: their market share, etcetera. Well, the equal way at a 461 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: massive day yesterday, Sam, It's great to catch up to 462 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on this market. What a move we've had, 463 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: What a week already.
