7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: at a dinner with some friends Matt, including a young

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: woman who just graduated from nursing school. She's gonna start

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: her first full time job the Children's Hospital Philadelphia, which

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: is a great, great hospital, and it just she was

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: so enthusiastic and so passionate and committed. It just made

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: me feel good because you think about the folks of

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: it on our front lines of during this pandemic um

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: and just the stress they've been put under, and you

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: just wonder, you know, how they do it. UM. That's

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: where we like to talk to folks that are really

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: uh touched, you know, really tapped into that part of

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: the healthcare system. Jennet Elkin, president and Chief executive Officer

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: of Icon Medical Network, joins us Icon Medical found in

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: places physicians and actitioners on assignment in hospitals and health

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: care facilities in the US, so she really knows what's

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: going on the front lines. Janet, thanks so much for

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: joining us here. Again, it seems like in parts of

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: this country and other parts around the world, we're getting

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: another wave of COVID um cases. Here. What's it like

26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: on the front lines. It's still extraordinarily busy, as you

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: can imagine. In addition to that, though, given that we're

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: seeing requirements for the vaccine really go up, as you

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: can imagine if they would do have to stop this

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: at some point. But what's happening now is it's getting

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: harder to place nurses who won't get the vaccine. So

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of closing an interesting time right now in

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: terms of staffing these facilities. Well, I mean, do you

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: want to place a nurse who won't get the vaccine?

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Do I really want a medical professional who, uh is

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: that obtuse working on me? I don't think so. Oh,

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: given that my dad died early from COVID even if

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: you hadn't, yeah, you really don't. So what's happening now

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: is that they're gravitating nurses towards those nurses towards facility

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: and also there are a few physicians out there who

41
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: won't get vaccinated, but it's becoming more difficult for them.

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: And in a way, although that's hard for facilities, it

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: also means that hopefully we will get more people vaccinated

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: and be able to affect better patient care. Janet, you know,

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: you know our views here in New York City obviously

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: skewed for much parts of for many parts of the

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: country talked to us about healthcare per you know, system

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: and staffing in more rural parts of America. I know

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: that was a challenge even before the pandemic. What's it

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: like now it continues to be. I mean, you've got,

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: if you think about it, not only COVID and what

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: that's caused in terms of medium more practitioners, the fact

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: that they didn't have enough to begin with in the

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: rural areas, and then on top of that as fallout

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: from OVID, and I think how it made people. We

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: think things the great resignation. Yes, we see it in

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: terms of nurses, physicians resigning, but some things you may

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: not think about, or even the recruiters who work for

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: health care facilities to place more permanent employees, they're also

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: moving on. So Jennet. Where are we in terms of

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: the pipeline? Again, last night I had dinner with a

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: young woman who just graduated nursing school. Where are we

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: in terms of putting out doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, things

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: like that? Is how's the pipeline? I mean, the pipeline

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: is obviously not great. It takes quite a while to

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: be able to get your degree. Of course, physicians the

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: most right um CRNAs, which are advanced practice nurses who

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: go on traditional training. But even for our ends, I

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: mean it's they can't get them out fast enough. Now

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: the person who had dinner with is going to chop

71
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: which children's hospital and Filly is one of the most

72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: desirable ones. But think about the hospitals that don't have

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: that kind of reputation. It's getting extraordinarily difficult to be

74
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: able to place in a practitioners. I wonder what your

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: take is on the Build Back Better bill, And not

76
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: because I want you to take a political stance, In

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: fact I don't, but it does seem that it's extraordinarily

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: difficult in America, especially compared to other countries, for um,

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: for mothers to go to work, for mothers to get

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 1: an education and to go to work compared to you know, Germany,

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: where I spend most of my time because childcare is

82
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: expensive and it's an arduous process for a lot of

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: people to to feed their kids. I mean, is this

84
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: going to help? Hopefully it will, And you know, you

85
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: bring up an excellent point. It is difficult. You can't

86
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: do it all at the same time. This is why

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: we're seeing for physicians such an uptick in them wanting

88
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: to do telehealth because they don't have to these travelers,

89
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: they don't have to travel to another occasion. They can

90
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: do it from home and that's making a big difference.

91
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: But of course those things in healthcare can't be done

92
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: in terms of telehealth. But we if we don't do something,

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: it's only going to get that much worse. All right, Joanna,

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it.

95
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Janet Elkin, President and chief executive officer of Icon Medical Network.

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: One of the analysts that we have on a lot

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: Dan Ives. I think he's one of the most listened

98
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: to analysts on Wall Street when it comes to the

99
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: tech area, and he is, to be fair bullish. Every

100
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: company that he covers. He has an outperform on like

101
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: thirty different companies of Penn State, Nitney exactly, he said,

102
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: tweeted today, we believe there's five trillion dollars of e

103
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: V auto market up for grabs, with Tesla likely to

104
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: own two and a half trillion dollars of this pie.

105
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: We estimate China is worth four hund dollars per share

106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: of the Testla story for two, raising our price target

107
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: from eleven to four hundred with our bul case of

108
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred. So he's a big believer here. He's been right. Um,

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: we have another uh Tesla fan, at least in terms

110
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: of the car. Uh. Matt Winkler, Bloomberg News editor in

111
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: chief emeritus and also the author of a piece on Rivian.

112
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: So I didn't realize you owned a Tesla car as well. Matt.

113
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: We talked about this on TV a couple of days ago.

114
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: Last I heard you were in a Toyota Avalon. What

115
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: happened two thousand and fourteen, to be precise. We acquired

116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: a models and we're happily driving it to this day. Uh.

117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: So you loved I know you loved the Avalon. I'll

118
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: never forget when you told me about that. You had

119
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: a lot of enthusiasm for it in terms of what

120
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: we see here at Rivan, it is if you didn't

121
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: know the Tesla story, it would be mind blowing the

122
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: fact that electric car maker truckmaker can come out and

123
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: get a hundred and twenty billion dollar market cap um

124
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: even though they've only sold probably this point three or

125
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: four hundred vehicles on the road. They're bigger than GM

126
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: by almost thirty five percent right now, How is it possible?

127
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: So what gets every investor excited Matt and Paul, I

128
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: think you agree is growth. That is always what brings

129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: the market to its highest levels. And Tesla, for example, uh,

130
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: since it went public in two thousand and ten, has

131
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: seen four hundred times the growth of the average for

132
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: the automotive industry over a ten year period, which is unprecedented.

133
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: And that growth has enabled Tesla, as you now know UM,

134
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: to make a profit um and to get to a

135
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: point where even the doubters are now acknowledging that electric

136
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: vehicles are for real, they are the future. And Tesla

137
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: did that. So oh, it's set the stage for Ribbyan,

138
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: which is going in a somewhat different direction because its

139
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: focuses on trucks and suv but more particularly vans commercial

140
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: um traffic. Jeff Bezos, who needs no introduction, uh, and

141
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: his company Amazon already ordered a hundred thousand of these

142
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: Ribbyan bands, which haven't been produced yet. But that gives

143
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: you some idea of the anticipation of where this market

144
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: is going. And the stock market is always about the future,

145
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: it's not about the past, it's not about the rear

146
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: view mirror. So this explains why Ribbyan as of this

147
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: moment is number five in terms of market valuation among

148
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,119
Speaker 1: the top ten automakers, having sold fewer than fifty vehicles.

149
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Crazy and Matt, you're out with a column on all

150
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: of this talking about the v market and evaluations, and

151
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: along with your colleague Shinpay and Jennifer leew are really

152
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: some great data. As always, the number of the line

153
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: that kind of stuck out to me, Matt is, you know,

154
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: the market value of the top ten automakers is more

155
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: than two thirds electric, a reality considered improbable, if not impossible,

156
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: just a year ago. And I agree with that shocked me.

157
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean, does that suggest that the traditional automakers they've

158
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: just missed it or can they catch up? Do you think, well,

159
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: they will have to catch up because probably by the

160
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: internal combustion engine will be a museum piece. And so, uh,

161
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: that's not a secret at this point. And so anyway,

162
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the uh, the rest of the industry gets to that

163
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: point is going to be the story. And so they're

164
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: going to do it all kinds of ways. But for sure,

165
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: the ev makers can do only one thing, which is

166
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: make electric vehicles. The rest of the industry has a

167
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: much messier, more difficult, challenging task ahead. I've erected a

168
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: museum to the internal combustion engine at my house. Increasingly

169
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I feel guiltier and guiltier about driving these cars, I

170
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: will admit, because there's such huge emitters globally right internal

171
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: combustion engines really contributing to um greenhouse gas emissions build

172
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: up and climate climate change. Do you think we're gonna

173
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: need continue to need government incentives Matt, for electric cars

174
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: and investment in infrastructure from the government in order to

175
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: make a change, to make that switch bigger. Here's the

176
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: best answer to that question, Matt. California is the best

177
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: performing economy in the United States, subject of another column

178
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: you had recently, and it's number five in the world.

179
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: If it were a country, it's number five in the world.

180
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: California is the place, more so than any other state,

181
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: where people's preferences and government policy converge. They converge, they're

182
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: not at odds with each other. And that's why they're

183
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: more e vs in California than anywhere else. Uh in

184
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: the US and where you could easily see I mean

185
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: the growth of evs accelerating and the fact that Rivan

186
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: is an Irvine, California based company. Tesla of course started

187
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: in California and Palo Auto. Even though it's moving its

188
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: headquarters to Texas, the place where Tesla makes its vehicles

189
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: is still Fremont. So that's not going to change, if anything,

190
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: that the production is going to go up. So the

191
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: answer your question is yes, Um, this just only accelerates,

192
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: all right, Matt, thank you so much for joining us.

193
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: Really appreciated. Matt Winkler, Editor in chief emeritus founder of

194
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg News. He's something, Have you driven electrical? I'm not?

195
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: All My God, are serious? I'm not. You have to

196
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: try it, all right. I think that makes a convert

197
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of people when you experienced the I

198
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: think it might be in the market. We'll see red

199
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and green on the screen is a good friend. Tom

00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Keene likes to say, let's see what the action is

201
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: with the small cap stocks. We do that every day

202
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: at this time with Bloomberg Market Reporter. Yes, across asset

213
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: sad to say the other stories are all downside stories.

214
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: And Nanta Pharmaceuticals down eleven percent of the tickers e

00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines, and

224
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: saying revenue will fall in the coming quarters. Bloom Now,

225
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: what's the exact title here? I want to get this right?

226
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Markets correspondent for Bloomberg TV and radio. Have you thought

227
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: about a different title? As interesting as I think, I

228
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: was already a markets reporter, reporter and a correspondent. I

229
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: don't know it's a title upgrade. It's a markets reporter.

230
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: First I did it on print. Now I'm doing it

231
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: on TV and radio. So all right? Are we gonna

232
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: go with that? Mant? I think editor at large sounds

233
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: good and pretty is a triple threat because she writes

234
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: for Ben, she's on TV, and she's on radio. Actually

235
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: a quadruple threat because she does quick take as well,

236
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: and she probably does some social media thing that I

237
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: don't even know about. I know Matt doesn't follow me

238
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter, so you wouldn't know. This is a very

239
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: public call out. I fall out. I follow mostly people

240
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: who drive race cars or ride motorcycles. So basically to

241
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: get Matt to follow me, I have to go get

242
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: a car and drive it around. I think so. And

243
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: when it went a Grand Prix, all right, great, Thanks

244
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. We always love getting your

245
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: thoughts there on the market. Avery Sheffield joins us now

246
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: every Managing Director and Senior Portfolio off Long Short Equity

247
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: head Funds Strategy at Rockefeller Asset Management. Every We just

248
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: got through great, great third quarter earnings. I thought i'd

249
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: see more, hear more concern and guidance as it relates

250
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: to supply chains, global supply chains. You know, they called

251
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: it out it. We're still seeing some pretty good guidance there.

252
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Yes, I mean you know this

253
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: as the supply chain concerns. Um, we're really in focus

254
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: kind of late August, kind of beginning with one of

255
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: the major global footwear's announcements and then through September. You know,

256
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: my instinct was that this was kind of a buy

257
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: the dip opportunity because for key reasons, like one is

258
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: um that when you we've seen when you have supply

259
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: chain dynamics issues, it leads to less inventory and less

260
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: inventory needs you know, less supply and and and and

261
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: that match with demand allows for pricing power. But from

262
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: a fundamental perspective on supply chain, no, there there are

263
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: a few companies that are heavily have been heavily reliant

264
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: on UM and this is an apparel retail sector UM

265
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: that have been heavily reliant on regions that have had

266
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: significant shutdowns. And they are they're absolutely experiencing UM less supply.

267
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,479
Speaker 1: But many, many, you know, apparel and an accessories manufacturers

268
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: have distributed supply chains around the world, and it looked

269
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: like they were going to be able to manage through this.

270
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's some incremental freight and shipping costs UM

271
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: shifting around, you know, which inventories they were gonna hold.

272
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: But it started to become evidence I think by October

273
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: that many of the companies we're going to get through

274
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: this relatively unscathed. And that's certainly what we've seen in

275
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the results. I have got to ask, you have a

276
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: degree in neuroscience UM from Pomona. First of all, what

277
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: is that and is that like science of the brain?

278
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: I think? And what and what does that? What? What

279
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: kind of edge does that give you? Oh so yes,

280
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I am a neuroscience major, and that is a science

281
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: of the brain, and it includes hard sciences as well

282
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: as psychology. And look, I I studied it because I

283
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: find I find how I find science and how the

284
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: human brain works to be fascinating. From a training perspective,

285
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: this WI be speaking to anyone else looking to figure

286
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: out what to study in college, certainly to become an

287
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: investor or anything else. Um, something like neuroscience gives you

288
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: just a very strong foundation in science, in the analytics

289
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: and the math, um, asking questions, posing hypotheses, really trying

290
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: to figure out, um, the answers to to open ended questions.

291
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: So that's I think good training for anyone. And then

292
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: the psychology, of of course, is what what really plays

293
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: in every day and behavioral finance is something and I

294
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: find absolutely financing and assassinating and um and focus on

295
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: kind of on a daily basis of how that's playing

296
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: into my investment decisions and those of others. And you

297
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: went from there to Wharton, so, uh, you clearly know

298
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: what you're talking about when it comes to business as well.

299
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: What do you think about this renewed COVID explosion in

300
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: Austria and Germany, we're seeing lockdowns, We're seeing mandated vaccines.

301
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Just when we thought it was kind of all over,

302
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: right well, I mean, you know the nature of viruses,

303
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: they keep coming around, right so UM, but the question

304
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: is how severe are they when when they when? When

305
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: they come around, and we're still seeing hospitalization rates flow.

306
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean there are certain areas, right whereas a lot

307
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: of unvaccinated people that you're seeing UM in Austria and

308
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: a few other places that are UM that are causing

309
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, some concern and leading to these lockdowns. But

310
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: I think we're really the tail end of it. I

311
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: mean you, I mean, look, I think we're going to

312
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: see small, a small breakouts of COVID for a long time.

313
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this virus is likely, you know, to mutate,

314
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: but as long as we've seen in Israel UM, getting

315
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: those booster shots really works. And I think these vaccine

316
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: mandates are really the answer. I mean a lot of

317
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: the lockdowns we've seen, or they're not really lockdowns, but

318
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: kind of slowing activity UM has been targeted to the

319
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: unvaccinated in many countries, and moving towards these mandatory vaccinations

320
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: I think is really the answer. Yep, I am vaxed

321
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: and boost. It's all set to go. Every Sheffield Managing

323
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: fun Strategy at Rockefeller Asset Management. I want to get

324
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: over right now to Jonathan Wade, he joins a senior

325
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: research channelist at Frost Investment Advisors. And before we get

326
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: into the meat of this uh interview, I gotta ask

327
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: you about a piece I saw in your bio. It says,

328
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: um current CFA, which I respect greatly and former c

329
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: p A for twenty plus years. I thought being a

330
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: c p A was like being a marine. Aren't you

331
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: like always a c p A once you were a

332
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: c p A. No. I kind of kind of leave

333
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: that in the background, you know, because everyone wants you

334
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: to ask accounting your tax question to you, So I

335
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: leave that in the background exactly. Yeah, all right, Jonathan. UM,

336
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: we've just come through some really good third quarter earnings. UM.

337
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people that gave them.

338
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: If you just look at the market reaction, that's kind

339
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: of what the market needed for this next leg. What's

340
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: your earnings outlook? Do you feel like this market's expensive

341
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: or did the earning story kind of come through on

342
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: that old pe analysis. Well, I mean, yeah, that's a

343
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: mixed question, right, I mean, because the valuation here is

344
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: a little a little pricey. But on the backdrop of this,

345
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: earnings look great, the economic outlook looks great. Um. The

346
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: when you think about the consumer being two thirds of

347
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: g d P in great shape, um under levered on

348
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: their balance sheet, ability to spend more, the intentions to

349
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: spend over the next twelve months or like an all

350
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: time high, and then you look at a business spending

351
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: the economy and capex intentions are high, cash on balance

352
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: sheet is very high. So we're cautiously optimistic as we

353
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: roll through the fourth quarter in two with the question being,

354
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: you know what happens with COVID and we're getting a

355
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: fresh out of that today. Yeah, exactly. I mean I

356
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: woke up this morning, perused the markets around three, and

357
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: then uh, I started listening to um Blues Traveler record,

358
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, the one with Dance with Me Felicia. I

359
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: love that that record. And I looked back and all

360
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I saw the dollar index was shooting up,

361
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: and the yen was gaining a lot of strength, and

362
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: there was a bit in bonds, and I thought what

363
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: the heck is going on? This has got to be

364
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: the COVID numbers, and indeed it was. Uh if that

365
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: turns into a real problem for the global economy, art stocks,

366
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: price for for perfection, well, I think at a certain

367
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: point you just we're gonna need to have to look

368
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: through COVID, you know, because it's it's not going to

369
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: be with us forever. We're eventually going to roll through this.

370
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: We like you said, we have the fighter pill that's

371
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: out there. Um, you know you think that that would

372
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: give you some reassurance that we're going to have some

373
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: return to normalcy soon. So alright, So Jonathan, what are

374
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: the areas that you guys are doing working right now?

375
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: I know there's a couple of camps out there. I'm

376
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: sticking with the you know, the big growth stocks that

377
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: have been so good to me for so long, and

378
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: the other camps say, now I'm swinging for the cyclical

379
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: trade here the reopening trade, and um, where do you

380
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: guys think about opportunity? Um? Well, see, we're you know,

381
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: broad investors. We value strategies and growth strategies. So uh,

382
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, on these when we look to two, I

383
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: think there is the thought that we could see a

384
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a cyclical bump at least in the

385
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: first half of the year on that reopening trade. So yeah,

386
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: we think there is a little bit of legs left

387
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: in that reopening trade, especially travel names that are getting

388
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: cocked today, and we think that they should see some

389
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: improvement rolls through. But also on the growth side, it's

390
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's again you still have valuation to deal with.

391
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: You have the retail investor in there that's just crowding

392
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: into these momentum names. But otherwise we think that the

393
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: tech secular tail winds are here to stay and we'll

394
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: see a continuation of that through the next few years. Yeah,

395
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: the airline's got have gotten battered again today. I think

396
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: Ryan Air is down ten sessions in a row, and

397
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: I was looking at UM Ryan Air, I A G

398
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: and Leftanza today. Ryan Air over the last five years

399
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: is the only one that's given you any kind of games,

400
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: and that's only ten Liftanza and UH and I A

401
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: G are both down I think six and nine per

402
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: year respectively over the last five years. You don't really

403
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: want to invest in airline stock, do you, well, and

404
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: they've got the double Emmy of of energy prices moving

405
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: against them, and labor, labor, labor, Yeah, yeah, exactly, and

406
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: that's going to just be a huge destruction this upcoming

407
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: holiday season. So you know, I've got a daughter coming

408
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: home from college. I hope she makes it for the holidays,

409
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: So I hope she does too. Absolutely all right, Jonathan,
