Now, let's talk to 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: the founder of Mountain. This is a company that builds 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: advertising software for brands to drive UM conversations, conversions, revenue, 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: site visits, all you can imagine. Really, it's basically a 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: digital advertising tool and it's so important. Um the uh, 11 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: the Apple ecosystem to this world. Mark Douglas is the 12 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: CEO and founder of Mountain. He joins us now to 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: talk about what's happened just now at the app Store 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: and Epic in this court ruling. Um, Mark, give us 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: your take first off on um on how important the 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: app store is the Apple App Store for you know, 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: the entire business. Yeah, so the the obviously, the iPhone 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: is arguably one the most important devices ever created. And 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: the way you get software on there is the App 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: Store and Apple. People forget the first iPhone you could 21 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: only use software from Apple. So when Apple opened that 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: up and allowed people anyone to create software for the iPhone, 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: they created this app store, and they started to c 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: two developers for any revenue that's created on it. And 25 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: so this ruling starts to essentially possibly shape loose that 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: which I think arguably is really excessive. So Mark, I 27 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: guess app Apple's contention has been that, yes, it's is 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: by some measures excessive, you know from the app developers perspective, 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: But boy, you get access to Apple's two billion device users. 30 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: That's huge in tern is a value to uh these 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: app developers. Now, Yeah, but the Apple also has a Mac, 32 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: and I get access to all Mac users for free. 33 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: So the and all and the software is often very similar, 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: and you know the means of distribution there's the Internet. 35 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: So I think that the ruling here. I think also 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: one thing to keep in mind on this ruling, there 37 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: were ten planes against Apple. Apple one nine of the 38 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: ten planes, and and it it lost one of the planes, 39 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: which I think has people, um, you know, kind of 40 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: very excited about the possibility that the app store fees 41 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: are going to go away. But um, I think people 42 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: are just excited because Apple loss that the This is 43 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: not a complete loss for Apple, and it's not a 44 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: complete win for developers, but it starts to make a 45 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: dent in in what I think is, clearly my opinion, 46 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: is a monopoly. But the judge did not rule a monopoly. 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: They just ruled that was unfair competition, and developers can 48 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: now make changes that potentially eating that, you know, retain 49 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: some of that. If I'm a user, I want the 50 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: money for the app to go to the person that 51 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: created I run, not to Apple that you know, that's 52 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: my personal perspective. Let me make this personal for a second, 53 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: because I always pull out of your bio mark that 54 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: you grew up in the Bronx near Yankee Stadium, and 55 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, you're a normal person, and you went out 56 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: west and started a bunch of um your own companies, 57 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: and now have created this incredibly successful business and you're 58 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: living the American dream. You fly to work in your 59 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: own private plane every day. I don't know if you 60 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: really do that, but you could if you wanted to, 61 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: because you're a pilot. So isn't this um a story 62 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: also uh from Apple's perspective of private property, of the 63 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: American dream of you know, a company that builds something 64 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: and gets to control how it's used. Right, Yeah, an 65 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: Apple sells me and you know millions a hundreds of 66 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: millions of other people are an incredible device and we 67 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: gladly while gladly, but we pay over a thousand dollars 68 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: devid device and then and then and and then they say, oh, 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: and by the way, if you want to use anything 70 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: on that advice were it takes of that also even 71 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: though we didn't create what you're using. Yeah, but dude, 72 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: for them that they made the device, they made the store. 73 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: That's that's a good for good for Apple. Shouldn't they 74 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: be able to do what they want with their own stuff? 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: Well maybe, But that's also kind of a plastic example 76 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: of a monopoly. And that was the argument that was 77 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: made here, and the judge didn't go so far as 78 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: to say it's a monopoly. Um And monopolies are generally 79 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: anti competitive. It's not another competing app store, for example, 80 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: with you know, a Apple devices, um and of accept 81 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: the profit. And I think this ruling will potentially have 82 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: some dent on Apple's profit if you're an investor. That's 83 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: why it's one of the reasons that stock drops. But 84 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, the ruling is it should Apple take a 85 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: cut of the whole equal system? And the ruling is 86 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: is that potentially not? And um, but yeah, Apple's a 87 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: great success story they've been. That's a lot. It's quite frankly, 88 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: they make a lot without taking out the development well 89 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: so as so is Mountain. We were talking, by the way, 90 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: earlier about your acquisition of Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds Maximum Effort, 91 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: such a cool agency, and um, we were each giving 92 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: our favorite Ryan Reynolds movies. What's yours? Just out of curiosity, Mark, 93 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: what's what's your favorite riots Ryan reylds production? Um, I'm terrible, nately, 94 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: but that's Ryan asking question over dinner two months ago. 95 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: And it was the vampire movie he was in. Oh 96 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: my god, I'm blanking on a name. This is so embarrassing. 97 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: But it's not. It's not. It's because I don't remember 98 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: the Vampire movie either, And I feel like I've seen 99 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: everything that he's been well states of movie he made, 100 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: with the wedding movie he made, and that's what I'm 101 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: talking about the proposal. I loved it too, also, it's amazing. Yeah, 102 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: it was a great movie. I watched that a few 103 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: months like two months ago, and I've seen a lot 104 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: of Ryan movies. But I did a little refresh your 105 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: course once I was put on the spot, and he 106 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: didn't ask that question to him. He doesn't go around, Bud, 107 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: what of my movies? Do you like? Someone else at 108 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: the table at Okay, our producer Sarah Lives Lives. He 109 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: told me that Blade Trinity is the vampire movie he's done. 110 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: So um, that's correct. Owner Mark Douglas, founder of Mountain 111 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: Just get over to David Kotalk right now, Chairman and 112 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. It's always great to 113 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 1: get David's thoughts on the markets and the economy. David, 114 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: what what do you make of this resurgence of the 115 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: virus along with the incredible resistance of American people to vaccines, 116 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: Not just Americans, but you know in the Western world 117 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: there's such resistance to these vaccines. It looks like it's 118 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna the pandemic may last longer than we may have anticipated. Yeah, 119 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: I fear it will. Um um. And of course there's 120 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: mixed views of this vaccine hesitancy is something that we 121 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: have seen in the past. We don't see a way 122 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: to resolve it. I found a quote from Robert Kennedy 123 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty four and he said, one of the 124 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: persons are against everything all the time, and I guess 125 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: that characterizes uh, this human condition. So we don't vaccinate, 126 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: we get the results. I'm a little worried. Mike ostar 127 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: home in his By the way, David, it's interesting because 128 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: his son, Yeah, UM is one of the biggest anti 129 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: vaxers who supports conspiracy theories about things like you know, 130 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: Bill Gates working with UM the global elite, to inject 131 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: us all with like five g nanobots. It's so true. 132 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: What a quirk of fate. You know, Why can't somebody 133 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: come up with something that says Ivermectin has a Chinese 134 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: chip instead of Maderna. I mean, we have a crazy 135 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: world and that's the nature of the human being. And unfortunately, 136 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: what that does is extend the pandemic and it makes 137 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: it works. It gives more time for more mutations, I 138 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: was saying. Mike Osterholmen his podcast issued a warning because 139 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: we're going to find out what happens when we open 140 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: these large school systems, and of course we hope and 141 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: pray that we don't have a lot of sick people, 142 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: but we're doing it and that's the nature of the evolution. 143 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: So I'm I don't think we're rather than Woods on 144 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: delta virus our positions in their ports, oios in our 145 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,479 Speaker 1: management says, this is a pandemic and it's still underway 146 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: worldwide and it's too soon to declare that it's over all. Right. 147 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: So the pandemic is an issue for you, David, and 148 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: for these markets. So is China. Um. You know, we've 149 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: seen the crackdown that China has had on a number 150 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: of its industries and the impact it's had on Western investors. 151 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: How do you kind of contextualized that? Well, this is interesting. 152 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: We published on this last weekend and on our morning 153 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: call this morning, we had an extensive conversation uh Matt 154 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: McLear and Bill Witheral and others on the call about 155 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: the difference between the A shares and the eight shares 156 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: and the old days the eight shares the A d 157 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: R s the US capital market rules were accepted worldwide 158 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: is the highest standard. And now it looks like this 159 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: is a rotation or reversal, and we see the a 160 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: Jing is going to open a Beijing stock exchange for 161 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: small caps and new startup companies. So what does it 162 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: mean if China says we don't need New York, we 163 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: don't need the capital markets anymore. We're big enough, we're 164 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: advanced enough. The rules have changed, the game has changed. 165 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: That's a monumental shift between the two largest economies of 166 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: the world. We're actually looking at the A shares and 167 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: we haven't taken the position yet, but we're looking at 168 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: the A share side and we're underweight China, and it's 169 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: really in the eighth share side that we're underweight. So 170 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: this will be fascinating to see how this turns out. 171 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: It's huge, two largest economies in the world face off 172 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: with each other. Yeah, and George Soros, I thought had 173 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: an interesting opinion piece. I wonder what your take is. 174 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: He was basically saying, Um, you know, put aside the 175 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: profit to for a second, you can't be supporting this 176 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: anti democratic regime from a moral standpoint. Well, that's that's 177 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: a that's a debate. In fact, you know, there's there 178 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: are e t s which are built on E s 179 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: G standards and governance. They would say stay away from China. 180 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: Um that there is a the behavior of large institution 181 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: sorrows Cathy arc What do you do, do you go there, 182 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: don't you go there? Where do you draw the line 183 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: between the profit and the ethics or morals? And how 184 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: do you do it? And are there ways to do 185 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: it so they are aligned because and that's a difficult 186 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: one for me personally, because I'm involved in policy organizations, 187 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: and in the policy organization you want the best outcome 188 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: from the world. And I'm a money manager. They have 189 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: clients and they say, hey, your job is to make 190 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: a profit for me, and so there's a tension between 191 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: those things. A very profound question for the financial services industry. Hey, David, 192 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,599 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. As always, we 193 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: always appreciate your perspective. David Kotok, chairman and chief investment 194 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Officer of Cumbland Advisors, over about four billion dollars in 195 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: assets under management, and he is located today out in Colorado. 196 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Good for him. All Right, We've got markets this year 197 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: hitting nearly all time highs, nearly on a on a 198 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: daily basis. Yet we have Wall Street strategies coming out 199 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: with increasing caution. Let's get a view from the street. 200 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: If you are Katarina Semeneti, Senior Vice president and Private 201 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: wealth advisor for Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management, joining us 202 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: on the phone from the town of brotherly love. That 203 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: would be Philadelphia, Katarina, thanks so much for joining us. 204 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: What are you hearing from your clients as you talk 205 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: to them over the last several weeks and months, Well, 206 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: thank you for having me on the show. And you're right, 207 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: it's um. You know, it's been crazy market and investors 208 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: can't ignore the fact that S and T five hundred 209 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: is up over twenty percent UM so far for the year. 210 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: And as exciting as it might be, you know, seeing 211 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: your portfolio go up this much, you know, it also 212 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: raises concerns and investors are naturally worried about the economy 213 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: staying power. Um. They're looking at the position of their 214 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: portfolio and they're hearing about the negative impact on the 215 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: future earnings of the companies based on everything they're seeing, 216 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: including the labor shortages, strice pressures, supply chain interruptions. You know, 217 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: it's something that we see every day. You know, there's 218 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about inflation, and it's one thing 219 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: talking about it theoretically, and another thing is when the 220 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: consumers and investors see the increased cost of goods and 221 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: services the normal basket. You know, that is something that 222 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: is their day to the experience, so naturally, you know, 223 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: it's something that on our side, from the investment and 224 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: vice perspective, we are advocating to risking portfolios. We're advocating 225 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: taking profits reasonable profits within uh certain parts of the portfolio, 226 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: specifically when it comes to the market indexes. But this 227 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: would be a great time to take profit from S 228 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: and D by hundred from Russell two thousand in reposition 229 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: into individual equities and very carefully selected um specific sectors. 230 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: Like so it's time to pick stocks. I mean, Lisa 231 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: Shallott was on with US last week and she said 232 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen percent pullback isn't unlikely by the end 233 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: of the year. I agree with her. You know, as 234 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, like everything that we're hearing from 235 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: the US corporations is that all of the pressures that 236 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: I already mentioned are going to be resulting in the 237 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: earnings that are not going to be quite as exciting 238 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: as what we have been seeing so far. There's a 239 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: lot of negative pressures. Intend to fifteen percent correction in 240 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: this space would be there, very much expected, but it 241 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: also presents great buying opportunity for investors as long as 242 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: they are strategically prepared for that. So if I want 243 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: to de risk my portfolio, how do I do that? 244 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: Though I just raise cash? Or how do I do that? 245 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: I would take profits from the broad market sectors profits 246 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: from S and P five hundered from Russell two thousand, 247 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: and look specifically at sectors that are well positioned for 248 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: this environment. Sectors like healthcare, sectors like financials, like consumer staples. 249 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: Were less excited about consumer discretionary for example, because we 250 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: feel like the buying power of consumer went down. Stimulus 251 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: check already went out. You know that they are not 252 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: not that many of them are expected to go forward, 253 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: and all of these discretionary purchases that we so initially 254 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: happening are really subsiding right now. We see a lot 255 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: of appetite for services still. But coming back to the 256 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: sectors that I've mentioned, health care, for example, is a 257 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: perfect sector to be There's a lot of pent up 258 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: demand in that state. Both pharmaceutical companies and healthcare in general. 259 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: Financials are historically positively correlated for writing interest rate environment, 260 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: so banks, um steam and facilitators are very well positioned. 261 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: So again We'll have to look at valuations, we have 262 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: to look at future earnings, we have to look at 263 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: the overall positioning or these individual equities within their sectors. 264 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: But this is a great time to pick up some 265 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: high quality positions and be ready for a market callback 266 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: and be ready to you know, have some cash on 267 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: the sidelines in order to be making the strategic purchases. 268 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: What when you look at individual stocks, what are you 269 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: looking at? What do you like here? Or how do 270 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: you go ahead and screen for those We we look 271 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: at quality, you know, we look at the valuation, the 272 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: earning positioning. In other words, you know, when we are 273 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: discussing all the cost pressures, there are certain sect ares 274 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: and certain stocks that are someone just just sensitized to 275 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: this risk. So that's where security selection comes into play. 276 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: You know, this is not you know, there are going 277 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: to be times again when we look at broad market 278 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: index ism they will make a lot of sense. But 279 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: right now, you know, looking at quality, looking at dividend fields, 280 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: looking at just overall, how is this certain positions a 281 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: certain certain company positions within their overall sector, what is 282 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: their competitive advantage? This is the time to to make 283 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: this deep dive analysis. You know, and know what you 284 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: own going into this market, this mid cycle transition, as 285 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: we see, there's going to be a lot of volatility, 286 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of noise, and knowing 287 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: what we own, having higher quality portfolios, um having this 288 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: this very thoughtful type of accidilication. This is the time 289 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: for that. Karina, just thirty seconds, do you recommend any 290 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: bonds in your portfolio? We got the tenure at one 291 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: point three. Absolutely, there's always time for the bonds in 292 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: the portfolio. This is like when you're building a house. 293 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: You absolutely need that foundation. You know, this is our 294 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: risk management. But with bonds, just like with stocks, this 295 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: is the time to look at quality and this is 296 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: the time to make sure that the bonds positioning the 297 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: portfolio makes a lot of sense. You know, get away 298 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: from high yield, get away from those higher risk exposures 299 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: and bonds, you know, and look at the very very 300 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: high quality of strategic positioning in that sector. But they 301 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 1: always make sense in the portfolio. Katerina, thanks so much 302 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: for joining us, Katerina Seminetti. They're a private wealth advisor, 303 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: Senior VP at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management. Great to 304 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: get your outlook on the market. Especially as UM we 305 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: bounce along the top here, it's time maybe to take 306 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: some profits. Katerina tells us this is Bloomberg. Just get 307 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: over at Matt Maldy now managing director and chief market 308 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,239 Speaker 1: strategy did Miller tay back And there's a number of 309 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: things that I want to get to with you, Matt, 310 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna start off with UM rates. We're looking 311 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: at a tenure that's now coming back down to one 312 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: thirty two, and it has looked like since Jackson Hole 313 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: it was rising from one UM and headed for one forty. 314 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: Where do you see rates and y well, I mean, yeah, 315 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: they have been climbing here. It's it's very interesting because 316 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: we had that you know, that period from last August 317 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: August for two thousand twenties through March where obviously they 318 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: were training higher from his you know, crazy historic low level, 319 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: and then of course we went for four or five 320 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: months there from March to early August where it was 321 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: going down. Now they're keeping back up. I think they're 322 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: poised to go higher. I mean, this whole issue with inflation, 323 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: I think is is a big concern. And I'm looking 324 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: at the one point three seven level that was the 325 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: high we saw a couple of times in August and 326 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: the once just a little over a week ago. But 327 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: the real number gonna be one. It for because you 328 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: always need to see more of it, more than just 329 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: a slight move above any key resistance level. At one 330 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: point four, that's gonna be a problem. I'll pose a 331 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: John Farrell question for you, do we get to two 332 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: percent or one percent? For well, I mean, the thing 333 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: is I I definitely think we get to two percent. First. 334 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: The one thing, of course, that we're in the seasonally 335 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: a tough time for the stock market. People get worried 336 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: if there's a severe correction rather than just a mild one. Uh, 337 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: you'd have flight to safety that may take us down 338 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: to one percent. But I just don't see that from happening. 339 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: I think we could very well see a correction, but 340 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: not want to send it that low and then uh 341 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: uh And I do think that right. I think the 342 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: changing we get above one point four uh in the tenure, 343 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: that's gonna signal important change in the near term trend 344 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: FORER for interest rate, So that's going to be important. 345 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: Him at um you know markets, equity markets hitting a 346 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: new high seemingly on a daily basis. Yet we've seen 347 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: Tom Keene this morning was just pointing out in his 348 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: email inbox over the weekend a lot Wall Street strategist 349 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: getting more and more cautious. Here, how do you think 350 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: about these equity markets? Again, this wall of worry, everybody's 351 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: been climbing it. But are we getting a little yes, exactly, 352 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: And yeah, It's it's funny because as more people get 353 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: more concerned, you tend to see that there's say, there's 354 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: too many bears around, and then that should actually be 355 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: a you know, a contrary contrary and indicator and and 356 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: be bullish for the market. But I do understand why 357 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: people are coming more more concerned. I mean, I'm just 358 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: thinking and I'm in that boat. I mean, look just 359 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: what we saw again today with the market opened very strongly. Uh, 360 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: and now it's sold off. It's it's it's not down, 361 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: it's down unchanged. All the NASDAC is down. But that's 362 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: a definite And we've seen that for a couple of 363 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: days in the last week. You know, we really saw 364 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: it almost every day last week. We're seeing it again today. 365 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: And we used to see just the opposite where the 366 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: market opened down and then rallied then to the end 367 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: of the day. And so this kind of change in 368 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: trend is has got some people worried and and rightfully 369 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: so I just think that with the concerns over inflation 370 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: and maybe even stagflation, uh, those aren't good from markets. 371 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: And you know, correcsitions are normal and healthy and there's 372 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. But uh, do people do do 373 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: need to be careful about them? But do we expect 374 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: do you expect the correction? So many people have come out, 375 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: from Deutsche Bank to Morgan Stanley to Goldman Sachs saying 376 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: it's time and um, you know, maybe ten to fifteen percent. Yeah, 377 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to sound too alarming, but the one 378 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: problem we get, we get is if we get to 379 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: tender tender fifteen percent. Uh you're well, if you get 380 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: to ten to twelve percent, I think you get the 381 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: fifteen and I do think there's a good chance of that. 382 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: And the reason why I say, why why would get there, 383 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: why would accelerate, is because of this massive levels of 384 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: leverage in the system. You know, this whole thing with 385 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: margin dead. Margin dead isn't a problem when it's going up, 386 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: it's when it rolls over. Well, sure enough, in July 387 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: started to roll out a little bit. If it's starts 388 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: if the markets down, people don't get margin calls until 389 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: the market has gone down a certain amount. So the 390 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: market goes down ten percent, it's almost certainly going to 391 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: kick in some margin calls and therefore be a little 392 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: bit more severe. Uh so it could be as much 393 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: as fifteen to That may sound like a lot of alarming, 394 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: but I think if people raise just a little bit 395 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: of cash right now, then you're gonna be one here, 396 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: will be gonna be the one who keeps your head. 397 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: What of those around them are losing theirs or being 398 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: forced to sell, and you're gonna be able to pick 399 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: up some unbelievably great bargains. Yeah, that's kind of where 400 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to go, Matt, if I wanted to get 401 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: a little bit more. If I if I'm thinking about 402 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: the next movements, market could be a ten percent or 403 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: so moved to the downside. Do I raise cash? Do 404 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: I just rotate into some safer names? How do I 405 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: prepare for that? Well? I think again, I do think 406 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: raising cash is a good idea. And again it's not saying, 407 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're gonna miss this move It's like 408 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: we're not saying going to or fift percent cash, just 409 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: maybe five or ten percent cash. And it's not just 410 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: because you can take advantage of it, but psychologically, especially 411 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: for individual traders, it's really really helpful because you're sitting 412 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: there going, oh my gosh, uh, I don't have any 413 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: I don't have any cash. On the market's going down, 414 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: it may go down more. I've got to sell and 415 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: the end up selling at the exact wrong time. If 416 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: you have a little bit of cash, even if it's 417 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: only five or ten percent, you're gonna be much more 418 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: Even if you don't get the exact bottom, uh what's 419 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: the bottom is in, you're gonna be willing to buy 420 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: rather than selling it. You know, similars, You're gonna be 421 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: a buyer rather than the seller at the at the 422 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: right time. And most of the people are gonna be 423 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: selling at the exact wrong time. And so I think 424 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: raising a bit of cashier is a good idea. Matt 425 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: is crypto currency here this day. I mean, does it 426 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: make sense for an investor um to allocate one percent 427 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: of his or her portfolio to bitcoin A theory um, etcetera. Well, 428 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it certainly seems to be here 429 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: here to stay. Um, you know, very bullish on it 430 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: on a longer term basis. I mean, it's gonna run 431 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: into regulatory issues and it's going to remain incredibly volatile. Uh. 432 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: So that's why I think these are things that you buy, uh, 433 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: you know, spread out any kind of purchases, Like you said, 434 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: you don't want to be loading up with you of 435 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: your portfolio there but adding it over time. Uh And uh, 436 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: I guess you know, I kind of look at we 437 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: look at all of them a theoryum, probably more closer 438 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: than others. But let's look at that theory two thousand 439 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: dollar level on bitcoin that has been unbelievably key support 440 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: this year, and if it breaks below that level at 441 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: any time, uh, you might want to take some chips 442 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: off the table and look for for a lower basis 443 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: away from that exactly. So that's but we got you know, 444 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: we rallied back. This rally above forty has been very 445 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: important because it's been it was stuck in a sideways range. 446 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: It broke out of that range, it got overbought. It's 447 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: settling back in, but it's nice and stable. I think 448 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: the thing is the upside is still pretty good here. Uh, 449 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: and uh, I think over a long term basis again, 450 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: ease into it. Uh, you don't. You don't have to 451 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: be you know, money a little money in every month 452 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: and and like you said, keep that to you know, 453 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: three to five percent of your portfolio.
