1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, Single Best Idea. Thank

2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: you for the comments and Ed YARDNNY yesterday. Yesterday we

3
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: spent our entire Single Best Idea with Yardanny, who's looking

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: at the Roaring twenties and has some huge numbers. But

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: to I want to make this clear because people are like, OMG,

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: Dow fifty thousand, Dow sixty thousand, SPX eight thousand, and

7
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: Ed brought this up, but it got buried in the conversation.

8
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: If you extrapolate the trend line to get you to

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: those targets on a per year basis, it's not all

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: that much of a lift. I want to make clear

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: that in the Yard Denny Roaring twenties, he's looking at

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: seven or eight percent per year return. It may happen sooner,

13
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: may happen later, but these are not outlandish numbers across

14
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the X axis. I think we'll leave it at that.

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: The Roaring twenties out there got a note from UBS today.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Will will effort at Ubs as they use the phrase

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Roaring twenties. We used it with Sofia Drosis. She's the

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: point seven to two. This is Steve Cohen Shop and

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: she has the privilege. You're working with Dean Mackie. Sofia Drosis,

20
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: a nominal GDP and the Roaring twenties.

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: I don't know about Roaring twenties exactly, but I'll tell

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: you a little bit about my forecast. I'm looking for

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: nominal GDP five five and a half percent this year,

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: and that's pretty strong, and that it sort of entails

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: that corporate profits will remain strong. So we are seeing

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: the consumer remain strong, and I think maybe that there

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: are some misconceptions about the relative strength of the consumer,

28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: maybe some concerns about the fact that goods prices are slowing,

29
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: and so maybe that's restraining some of the things we're

30
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: seeing in retail sales. But recently the consumers also spending

31
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: on services, and so when I look at consumption overall,

32
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: it remains at a trend pace, which again makes it

33
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: hard to see a recession.

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Sophia Drosis there informed comments the optimism that she has.

35
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: She's again at point seven to two. We love to

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: get outside three zip codes. I'm as guilty of this

37
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: as anyone. Look far west to sixth Avenue. We all

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: want to do that. We want to go across this nation,

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: and it's really important when people fly in from the

40
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: left coast from San Francisco, and he is iconic. Mark

41
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: Lehmann is with JMP, not JPMGP Morgan, j MP, which

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: is the aggregate of San Francisco technology history. You go

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: back to Montgomery Securities, Thomas Weisel, Robertson Stevens, the rest

44
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: of it. Well, there's the technology that's always been in

45
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: San Francisco. He had wonderful comments his optimism on the

46
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: resurrection of San Francisco. But here's Mark Lehman of JMP

47
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: on the new tech age.

48
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: I think a lot has to do with Back then,

49
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: the hype was just show up, have a meeting, get

50
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: your capital.

51
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: Yep.

52
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: Now it's a much more discipline discussion. I think there's

53
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: way fewer of these kind of larks, if you will,

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: that are being created. And I think the big firms

55
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: are collaborating. So it's not just the venture capital it's

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: but the big install tech companies. We mentioned Google. Obviously

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: Microsoft's got a big stake, but I think the dynamism

58
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: of the investment is way different than it was years ago,

59
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: way different.

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Mark Leman of JMP. As we go into Google's announcements

61
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: this afternoon, and on to August first, Amazon and other

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: worthies of this tech era that we're living in did

63
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: an experiment today. We tied Zach Cohen and David Gurr

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: at the same time. On the politics. I really want

65
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: to say, I've had all sorts of anecdotal evidence people

66
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: coming up at lunch or whatever thanking us for a

67
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: political coverage. We're sort of in a mailstream mirror where

68
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: we're just trying to survive and get through the day

69
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: and stay up with the zeitgeist. And the news flow

70
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: is reported by our wonderful news bureau led by Margaret Collins.

71
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: But I'm really taken by the comments of how we're

72
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: trying to stay away from the punditry and talk about

73
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: the more granularity. What a successful effort today was Zach

74
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Cohen and David Gurrow. We'll try to do that again.
