To get the latest on some of the 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: key global issues, we turn once again to Bill Rhodes. 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: Bill as President CEO of William R.

So Bill, let's turn our attention to Latin America. 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: Argentina in the news. This you know, kind of blew 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: up yesterday with yields on government bonds rising to the 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: highest level since the country was last in the fall 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: stocks and the pay so we're in free fall. What's 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: the latest from Argentina? Length. The problem in in Argentina, 21 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: as we were discussing in the break, is that when 22 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: Macari came in, everyone had great expectations. I actually did 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: a piece for Bloomberg the first week he was in office. 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: What happened, though, is he fritted away his time. So 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: instead of implementing tough economic reforms up front, like Fernando 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: and Rick Carloso did with the Real Plan and Uh, 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: Belsarovitch did UH with Poland when Poland broke away from 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. He fritted it away and he called 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: it gradualismo, the Spanish term for do it gradually. UH. 30 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: And the reason he did that was because he thought 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: it would help him politically. But if you don't take 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: the tough measures up front, it blows up in your face. UH. 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: And last year when I was there, they had just 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: they were just firing ahead of the Central Bank, blaming 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: him for it. Uh. They put in the Minister of 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: Finance UH, and he lasted two or three months Caputo, 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: and then he resigned or was fired because they did 38 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: not want to take the tough steps. Now the I 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: m F has got their next out there, just like 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: they did on Greece, because they've given him the largest 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: program efforts over fifty billion dollars, and they can't be 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: very happy now because inflation is over fifty the country's 43 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: deep into recession. Elections are in October and all of 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: the polls show believe it or not. Uh. Christina Kirshner, 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: who people thought would be in jail by now, says 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: she's gonna run, and she's running ahead of Macari. And 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: and now he slapped on price controls and having restarted 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: that country more than anybody else in history five times. 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: Every time they get into price controls, it doesn't work. Uh. 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: And you remember you had a bad ending of Alfonsin, 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: you had a bad ending of day lar Ua. The 52 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: press in Argentina is full of that. I hope it 53 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: doesn't happen because I think Macari has the right intentions, 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: but uh, time may have run out, and so he's 55 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: got to use the rest of his time to implement 56 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: these reforms, and maybe too late. So I remember all 57 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: the way back, maybe two years ago, when Argentina was 58 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: selling hundred year bonds and investors were piling in and 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: the biggest institutions were saying Argentina is a recovery story. 60 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Never mind the fact that it's defaulted five some odd 61 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: times in the past hundred years. Here we are the 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: chances of potential to faull to being priced into the 63 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: market of Argentinian debt over six currently up from a 64 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: year ago. In your perspective, what are the chances that 65 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: we see yet another Argentinian default? Well, I certainly hope 66 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: we will not, but there's still time to take some 67 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: of these tough measures. But it's not like putting on 68 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: price controls. And the economic team down there was very 69 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: slow to recognize the problems, and those who did recognize it, 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: unfortunately Mauricio got rid of UH. And so it's like 71 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: my father taught me when I was a young man, said, Bill, 72 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and 73 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Macary has all the good intentions, but if you don't 74 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: take the proper steps, you could have more problems. And 75 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: so the markets are now fixated on Argentina. How people 76 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: people would have bought a hundred year bonds? And when 77 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: you asked me that earlier, UH in the break, I said, 78 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: because there's too much liquidity. UH still slashing around with 79 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: with all UH, the emphasis on central banks providing liquidity, 80 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: the reach ree yield and people are desperate for that, 81 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: so they went into all sorts of things, including those bonds. Uh. 82 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: But you know it's not just Argentina. Let's take a 83 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: look at what's going on in Turkey. Look at the 84 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: inflation rate in Turkey. They're in recession. UH. And I 85 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: don't see the economic reforms happening there. So I think 86 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of problems the emerging markets. Korea just 87 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: came out uh and surprised people with their negative growth. Uh. 88 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of weakness in Asia. Europe is very weak. Uh. 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: When you look at Germany, the industrial figures, you look 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: at Italy uh, and of course brexits unsettled. So the 91 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: one part of the world which is booming for the 92 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: moment is US, the US, But you know, we can't 93 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: be the locomotive for the rest of the world forever. 94 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: How about going back to Latin America Venezuela. What's your 95 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: current view there? That was is such a difficult situation. 96 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: What's your current view there? Well, I lived there thirteen years, 97 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: my daughter was born there, so I have a very 98 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: strong feeling for what's going on there. The three things 99 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: have got to happen to turn that country around. First 100 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: has to be some sort of political change that uh, 101 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration thought would happen a month ago, 102 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: six weeks ago. They were too optimistic when they put 103 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: on sanctions. So far, the sanctions haven't worked very well. Um. 104 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: So that is one point. And of course Maduro is 105 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: being backed up not only by the Cubans but also 106 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: by the Russians. The Chinese, I think, are more realistic. 107 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: They will deal with who's ever in because they have 108 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: too much of an investment there. Uh. And I think 109 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: the second point, which is what disturbs me so much 110 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: and I'm spending a lot of time on, is to 111 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: try and help on the humanitarian situation. Here's a country. 112 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: When I lived there, which is the wealthiest country in 113 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: Latin America, had the best medical system. Malaria didn't exist, 114 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: it had been stamped out years before. Now you have 115 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: a malaria outbreaking parts of the country. Uh. You have 116 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: uh what the u N says a three and a 117 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: half million out of third thirty million population refugees, but 118 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: it's more like four or four and a half million, 119 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: and it's growing all the time because there's no plasma 120 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: in the hospitals. Uh, there's no antibiotics in the in 121 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: the hospitals, people are dying. Uh. And you see some 122 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: of these people that go across the border to Brazil 123 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: uh in Roraima state, or go across the go across 124 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: to Columbia or elsewhere, and it's tragic because the malnutrition. 125 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: I just talked to a friend of mine from Argentina 126 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: before the show, and here Argentina, so far away from Venezuela, 127 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: they already have five hundred thousand refugees there. I'll be 128 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: going down and talking with the President of Ecuador about, uh, 129 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: what can be done with the Venezuelan refugees in Ecuador. 130 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: So I'm working with a very well trained, experienced epidemologist 131 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: who's a standout person in this field, to see if 132 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: we can do something. Uh. We're talking to the American 133 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: Development Bank to see if we can do something for 134 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: the refugees outside. But what's really needed in the country. 135 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: They've got to allow in aid, humanitarian aid, and they 136 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: now say they'll allow in some Red Cross aide, but 137 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: really not clear. And of course the last thing before 138 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: you asked me is what's going to happen with the 139 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: economy and the debt, Because this is going to be 140 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: the mother of all debt restructions. We've never seen it 141 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: quite like it, because you have paids of the oil 142 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: company has all this money out as well as a 143 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: sovereign and they're tied together. And the Russians have half 144 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: of Sitko, the oil refiner and the West coast. So 145 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: this is a country that I think is a disaster 146 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: case and the question is what's the outcome going to be. 147 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: Bill Rhodes, thank you so much. You're involved in so 148 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: many incredible things and have been throughout your life. Bill Rhodes, 149 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: President and CEO of William R. Rhodes Global Advisor, is 150 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: author of Banker to the World, Leadership Lessons from the 151 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: front Lines of Global Finance and when you talk about 152 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: all of the concern for humanitarian issues. Bill Rhodes also 153 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: just established the new Road Center for Globlastoma at New 154 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: York Presbyterian Hospital. His wife passed away from glioblastoma, which 155 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: is actually the fastest growing at cancer, particularly among younger people. 156 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: So if you want to check out more, just google 157 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: the Roads Center for gleob Blastoma. Intel reports after the 158 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: close today on a Shrinivasan uh covers all things on 159 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: the tech chip side for us. He's a senior semiconductor 160 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: and hardware analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. He joins us here 161 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: in a Bloomberg Interactor broker studio. So on it and 162 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: get a big rally in chip stocks. What's driving it? 163 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: Semi Connectors are certainly the tip of the speer. We 164 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: tend to be or the chip stocks tend to be 165 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: incredibly forward looking, and they are prognosticating an incredible, incredible 166 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: second half. Now, if you listen to what t I 167 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: said on the call, that is likely slower to materialize, 168 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: potentially lower in magnitude. But if you look at Skienix, 169 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: which reported earnings last night, They're optimism is actually magnifying. 170 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: So they're starting to see strength potentially as early a 171 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: second to second quarter and in the second half. My 172 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: problem with the chip rally that we have seen so 173 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: far from December to day is the magnitude of the 174 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: rally and how quickly it's come by. Right, So if 175 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: you look at the earnings per share growth for the 176 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: next two months in the socks um the Philadelphia Semi 177 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: Connector Index, it's projected to be about seven percent um. 178 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: And if you look at the price earning stratio of 179 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: that same index over the using the EPs of the 180 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: denominator there, it's eighteen times my my problem. And when 181 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: you break down the components of that right, So, if 182 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: you look at in Video, for example, which has had 183 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: some um structural issues in the last three months, earnings 184 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen or its fiscal twenty twenty have come down. 185 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: If you look at m D one of the better ones, 186 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: it's earnings have only gone up eight percent. If you 187 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: look at n XP three three month earnings for down 188 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: eleven percent. So you've had a whole host of these 189 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: companies where the shares have rallied dramatically, so thirty at least, 190 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: and the earnings for caunty or nineteen has gone down 191 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: somewhere in the vicinity of five to so. So this 192 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: is exactly this is fascinating, fantastic numbers to put to this. Basically, 193 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: the performance is not matching the optimism. So what could 194 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: the chips sector be looking at? Fundamentals better catch up. 195 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. Fundamental is better catch up, and 196 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: if they don't, we're going to see some adjustment. It's 197 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: sort of you know, blow the blow the bottom out 198 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: from under them and just watch them, watch them fall 199 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: or I mean, the big part that has been missing 200 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: in semiconductor demand is one is the handset cycle is 201 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: waning a little bit. We all know that the magnitude 202 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: of the handset cycle weakness is something to be considered 203 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: in the second half. Offsetting this is the impending strength 204 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: from Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, where the CEO went to 205 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: my alma mater engineering school. But that's a separate issue. Um, 206 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: So this cloud company's server strength, that these cloud companies 207 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: server strength is the has been the missing piece of 208 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: the demand puzzle. Everybody's expecting that to come back in 209 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: the second half. It's a substantial portion of CPU consumption, 210 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: memory consumption, um, solid state drive consumption. It better come back, 211 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: and better come back in space, right, So, Dave, I 212 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: think what I'm hearing from on it is maybe these 213 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: semiconductor stocks may have gotten a little bit ahead of themselves, 214 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: but the tech earnings so far have been pretty darn good. 215 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: Well they have, and you have an interesting contrast within 216 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: the group today. I mean, I mentioned Zylenks, the way 217 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: the shares are taken a beating. On the other hand, 218 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: you had numbers out late yesterday from LAMB Research which 219 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: is in the chip equipment business. They went over well, 220 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: the stocks up almost six percent. It's going back and 221 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: forth with Facebook for the biggest game on the day 222 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: in the S and P five hundreds. So you know, 223 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: it's an interesting kind of contrast that's showing up within 224 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: the group on and on twenty seconds here, we didn't 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: really hit on Intel. How important is Intel with respect 226 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: of their earnings? You know, Intel's is a little bit 227 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: of a sleeper here between Intel, aim Ding and Video. 228 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: We like all three companies, but for completely different reasons. 229 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: I think Intel expectations are relatively low. Um we actually 230 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: think they could really do well with PCs and the 231 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: data center in the second half of the year. And 232 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: on Street of Us and Senior Analystic covering the semi 233 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: conductors in tech hardware space for Bloomberg Intelligence, Staviles and 234 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Stox editor joining us all here in our Bloomberg 235 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: eleven three oh studios. The question is in how good 236 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: were Tesla's reported earnings yesterday? It was how terrible were they? 237 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: And to answer that question is David Coodlag CEO and 238 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: Chief Investment strategistic Mainstake Capital Management, overseeing about two and 239 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: a half billion dollars from Michigan. David, thank you so 240 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: much for being with us. Tesla reported earnings that were 241 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: below already very low expectations and talked about raising capital 242 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: even after Ellen Musk has said that he wouldn't need 243 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: to raise capital. Shares down two point and that's it. 244 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: What was your take on these earnings, Poles? Yeah, I 245 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: was surprised even at at how big a loss it 246 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: was going to be. We had consensus estiments at about 247 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: sixty nine cents a share for share, and uh facts 248 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: that had a little bit of a dollar. But when 249 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: it came in, it, uh, here's three dollars per share loss, 250 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: even more than we thought it would be. Worse than 251 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: consensus estimates. It was really a miserable quarter all the 252 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: way around. When you consider the news we got on 253 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: deliveries earlier in the um, earlier in the month, and 254 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: now what we thought would would adversely impact earnings. Uh 255 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: we this is this is definitely a very bad quarter 256 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: for Tesla. So, David, it seems like Elon Musk is 257 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: kind of on the earnings call opened the door just 258 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: a bit as it relates to an equity capital raise. 259 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: What do you think is the outlook that does this 260 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: company need to raise money? How much did they need 261 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: to raise when did they need to raise it? Well, 262 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: they do need to uh to raise capital. And they 263 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: talk about having about two point two billion cash on hand, 264 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: but if you take away customer deposits, that falls below 265 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: a billion and a half dollars. Uh, they are burning cash. 266 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: You know, they went from cash generation in the latter 267 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: half of the year, the latter part of the year 268 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: back to a burn rate near a billion dollars in 269 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: this first quarter. And uh, you know, they thought they 270 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: would have cash coming in from uh this you know, 271 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: increasing sales of the Model three along with the stained 272 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: sales of models and Model X. That hasn't happened. He's 273 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: calling for uh eighty or nine to a hundred thousand 274 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: deliveries in the next quarter. I think he's dreaming when 275 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: you look at what the deliveries were in the first quarter. 276 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: So the cash isn't going to come from sales. They're 277 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: going to have to raise cash. It's an inevitability. So 278 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: here's my question. One analyst and I have over what 279 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: Bush said that Tesla's quarter was a top debacle, one 280 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: of the top debacles ever seen in its two twenty 281 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: years covering tech stocks on the street. I'm just wondering, 282 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: given how scathing people have been in their assessment of 283 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: these quarterly reports, why are the shares down only two? 284 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: Um there? I mean there are some there's a following 285 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: for Tesla that I think some real believers in the stock. 286 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: There is a you know, we've seen this floor around 287 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: that two from a technician standpoint, quintuple bottom, whatever it 288 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: may be. Uh, we've seen of Florence Florence stock price 289 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: around this level. But you know that was uh in 290 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: after market trading yesterday. Today we're seeing the shares down 291 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: a little bit further. You know, we also didn't see 292 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: the shares change much on Tesla autonomy day earlier this week, 293 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: our share price change much. So I think we've got 294 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: some things unfold here. He did come out, you know, 295 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: in the earnings call with some guidance that was very positive. 296 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: And remember how this goes, and this is how we 297 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: play the stock. You know, when whether we're whether we're 298 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: buying puts or outright shorting the stock and then covering later, 299 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: Elon can bid up the stock on these claims and 300 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: these promises of what he's gonna do he made some 301 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: bold claims in this earnings announcement about that all the 302 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: hardware is on the cars today for full autonomy, uh 303 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: in a year from now, but for level five autonomy. 304 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: He's made bold claims about the deliveries that they're going 305 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: to make for the remainder of the year. UH, that 306 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: they're going to be a small loss in Q two 307 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: and then profitable in Q three and Q four. I 308 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: don't think they'll have a profitable quarter this year, but 309 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: if you believe the claims that he's making, there's hope. 310 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: You know, there's hope in the in the stock price, 311 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: and it is trading near its low. So there are 312 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: those that think it it might have a chance to 313 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: rally from here, uh, if not right away, later in 314 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: the year, so they Let's switch gears a little bit 315 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: to Ford Motor Company. The reporting coming up, and I 316 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: know you've mentioned in the past, I think this first 317 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: quarter announcement and guidance are arguably the most important in 318 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: the past five years. Why is that, Well, you know, 319 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: let's compare and contrast. Now we switched to you know, 320 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: a company that's really doing a lot of UH has 321 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: had a very good first quarter. UH. You know, Ford 322 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: has their their suv and truck sales really did the 323 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: best among their competition when you look at Toyota, GM, Ford, Uh, 324 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: they really trounce the competition in terms of those sales, 325 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: which are the high margin vehicles. The other thing that 326 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: that Ford suffered from over the past year really since 327 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: Jim Hackett has been there in leadership position, is is 328 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: that messaging, that communication, that articulation of the vision of 329 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: you know, there was the restructuring plan there, multibillion dollar 330 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: restructuring plan. What is the detail. We've seen some of 331 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: that more recently with what they're doing globally, what they're 332 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: doing domestically, also their vision for Auto two point out 333 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: or what we call the future of mobility. And you 334 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: know we now know the flat Rock plant where they're 335 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: investing eight hundred million for autonomous vehicles, and the hiring 336 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: of Tim Stone as the CFO, who comes from the 337 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: digital community, that signed that they're moving to a new 338 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: age company. There's just a lot of things, you know, 339 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: very good performance and what we refer to as the 340 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: legacy business trucks and SUVs that the high margin vehicles. 341 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: They're the best stock performance among the Detroit three. If 342 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: you will in the first quarter in and beating the 343 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: S and P five hundreds performance as good as it was. 344 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: And then you look at the detail we want to 345 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: see on their restructuring plan and the detail on the 346 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: future mobility that's coming together. We're seeing what we want 347 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: to see. Wall Street investors seeing what they want to 348 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: see out of Board. Now. If they maintain the momentum, 349 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a very good year for Ford in 350 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: a in a real turnaround compared to kind of a 351 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: tough and past couple of years. Got it, David Couldla 352 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. David's the CEO 353 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: and chief investment strategists for Mainstay Capital, joining us on 354 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: the phone from Michigan. Well, right now, traders are pricing 355 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: in the high increasing likelihood of a FED rate cut 356 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: in the near future, perhaps even later this year. And 357 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: as they do so, our Bloomberg opinion called noists are 358 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the FED should do in 359 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: the next downturn because they don't really have that much ammunition. 360 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: One proposal by municipal bonds, and that comes from Brian Chapatta, 361 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: who is a Bloomberg Opinion calumnists. So, Brian, why was 362 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: that the solution that you see is something that is 363 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: potentially attractive for the Federal Reserve. Yeah, so, I guess 364 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,239 Speaker 1: I got a lot of feedback on this. So at 365 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: first of all, the caveat is that if it's another 366 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: recession and the and the FED uses all of its 367 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: ammunition as it has in the past, it's done the 368 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: rate cuts, it's done the typical kiwi and there's still issues, 369 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: what do you do? And my idea was turned to 370 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: the muni market, because you know, states don't have the 371 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: ability to print money. You know, they have to implement 372 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: austerity measures during recessions, and that can really slow down 373 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: economic growth. You don't fund infrastructure, you miss payroll, you 374 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: underfund your pensions. Those are all really bad things that 375 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: affect main street. And so potentially using the FED as 376 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: a tool to extend a lifeline to these states, give 377 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: them a little influx of cash that they'll eventually pay 378 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: back when times are better, could be a reasonable way 379 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: to jump start the economy, uh, during a recession. So historically, 380 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: just give us some history here, the federal government generally 381 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: has not done this. Correct. Yeah, well, that's part of 382 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: the problem is that the Federal Reserve Act prohibits purchasing 383 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: communies that are longer than six months, so they could 384 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: in theory do some real short term uh purchases immunis. 385 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: But if you wanted to actually do something that would 386 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: be a little bit more sustainable and do a little 387 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: bit more than just you know, a really brief thing, 388 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: they'd have to unbend the Federal reserve at This would 389 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: be somewhat challenging though also from a who's your favorite 390 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: child kind of point of view, right, I mean it 391 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: basically ahead of the decide which municipal bonds to buy, 392 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: which projects to finance. Given the fact that there are 393 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: thousands of que SIPs, this is a very a using 394 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: credit market, uh, you know a lot of small issuances, 395 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: and you basically have an active portfolio manager buying munis 396 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: at the federal reserve. Yeah. Well, my idea was sort of, 397 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, keep it at the state level. And as 398 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: far as precedent goes, you do have the European Central 399 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: Bank going out and purchasing debt of various sovereign countries 400 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: within everything and anything, yeah, right within it, with it 401 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: within its purview. So I mean there is precedent for 402 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: you know, effectively you know, setting ah, you know, a 403 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: standard and going out and doing it across variety of 404 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: credit ratings, uh and sort of credit worthiness. So uh, 405 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: that was the idea. And obviously, um, you know, the 406 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: muni markets on fire right now, so there's no reason 407 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: to to do it yet. But this is again sort 408 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: of talking about hypothetical down the road if we face 409 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: some sort of uh, you know, problematic recession that that 410 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: typical Kiwi buying treasuries won't get us out of. So 411 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: is there any support in Washington or the other any 412 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: folks in Washington or at the FED thinking about this 413 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: kind of move? You know, you hear about this every 414 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: once in a while, because I did go back and 415 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: see if this was proposed before, if I was, if 416 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: I was the very first person, and sure enough, you know, 417 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: you go back to you know, things like that. You know, 418 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: there was the Build America bonds program, which was more 419 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: of a of a federal stimulus um. But I think 420 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: the question is sort of is there a political appetite? 421 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: You know, the joke about Infrastructure Week is that you 422 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: know it never comes because there's never this push to 423 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: actually fund infrastructure, even though presumably it's a bipartisan issue, 424 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: so uh means to be seen exactly what the appetite 425 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: is in Washington. You mentioned real quick that muni's were 426 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: on fire. We have seen record inflows into many funds. Why. 427 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's pretty clear that right now 428 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: the cap on state and local tax deductions is really 429 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: making people realize that if you want to lower your 430 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: state income tax rate, there's a really easy way to 431 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: do it, and it's buying muni bonds within your state. Uh. 432 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: This has always been an option to everyone, but before 433 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: if you had a large state and local tax bill, 434 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: you could deduct it obviously from your your federal taxes, 435 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: which means that you know, it wasn't so onerous, um, 436 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: but now you're effectively, uh, you know, getting getting penalized 437 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: for that. And so munis are an easy way to 438 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: to reap some income. And I mean the rates are 439 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: so low, especially relative to treasuries on munis, it's it's 440 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: a real question of how long this can keep going on. 441 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: And but so far, so good, right, very good.
