Jonathan 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: golber joining US now chief equity strategist at Credit Sweets. 7 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: I remember the morning at some point in the summer time, 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 1: I've taken the morning golf and the note dropped from 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: Jonathan Gollobert. Credit Swiss had a year end out look 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: for next year of five thousand and Jonathan. Many people 11 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: just strugged and said, Jonathan gol Up, here we go again. 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: He's too bullish. He's too bullish, And here we are 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: at all time highs. John, why do you think we 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: can get to five K from where we are just north? Well, 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of stories here. The first 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: one is that earnings benefit from these shortages. And I 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: know that that sounds really bizarre, but they're getting tons 18 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: of pricing power and um, and that's gonna mean that 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: the earnings are gonna are gonna be driving this. If 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: you look at the last twelve months, the price of 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: the stock market is up less than the than the 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: earnings have improved, and stock multiples are actually down over 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: the last year. So that's the number one reason. The 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: second thing which people missed is that, and you guys 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: are talking about it a second ago. Rising interest rates 26 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: is a sign of confidence in the economy, not a 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: problem for stocks, and that's been the story over the 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: last month's interest rates in Brisen, Jonathan, you've absolutely now 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: that your earnings sustained call has been great. You've got 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: some great statistics there on how earnings have come in 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: far better than what the gloom was. By the cell side, 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: you're as strong as your analysts. Let's take Matthew Cabral 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: is just one example. What does Matthew Cabral on Apple 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: or on tech and your other forty seven analysts, what 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: are they whispering? Do you right now? Oh? You know, 36 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: I hate to talk about individuals, get them broad you know, 37 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: individual stucks. But you know we're we're seeing um in 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: many ways. What the companies are telling us is that 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: they're saying that things are pessimistic about their ability to 40 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: meet demand. And they they're they're pessimistic on you know, 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: margin cost pressures, and then the numbers come in and 42 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: and the buzz that we're hearing from companies is more 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: negative than the results that they're delivering, and we're seeing 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: we're seeing that across the border. One of the things 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying to the analystis, I know management is telling 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: you that there's gonna be this cost ways, don't believe them. 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna come in better. There's there's more pricing power 48 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: than they're willing to tell you in their pre announcements. Jonathan, 49 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the e ago function on the Bloomberg 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: which tells you basically how earning season is stacking up 51 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: so far. And you're right, the earning surprises and average 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: of on the top line, though the average sales surprise 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: is only about two percent. So is that just because 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: the bar was higher on the revenue side, or is 55 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: that because of some of these supply and demand issues 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: and you actually are seeing companies not being able to 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: pull in quite as much revenue because they don't have 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: adequate supply. Well, well, first of all, it's two stories here. 59 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: The first one is is that you always have um 60 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: really small revenue beats and really big margin meats. I 61 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: mean that's um atalyas UM have much more clarity on 62 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: the revenue line. So that's not that that's not a typical. 63 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: But the story the earning season is that everyone thought 64 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: that we were gonna get cost ways and what we're 65 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: actually getting is uh is demand disappointment. And you you 66 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know. I don't want to comment on 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: an individual company, but um I was out with a 68 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: bunch of chief investment officers across different firms a few 69 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: nights ago, and people were saying that they thought that 70 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: ad spending was gonna be a problem. Why if you 71 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: can't meet demand, why would you advertise just cut your 72 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: head spending, And especially in area like autos, which is 73 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: so important for the ad market, why would you advertise 74 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: a car that you can't deliver? So this is a 75 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: big issue. When we're seeing it lots of places. I'll 76 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: tell you where we're not seeing it. We're not seeing 77 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: in banks. UM banks are showing up with you know, 78 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: really levitating separate from everything else. And let me just 79 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: make one more in one comment there, if you split 80 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: the market in half, which is, how are the bank's 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: doing and how is everything else doing? It doesn't look 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: as good as we're talking about. The market is beating 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: by about seven percent the bank it exclu the banks um, 84 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: and it's about you know, eleven or twelve percent with 85 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: so there is a bit of a bifurcation on winners 86 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: and losers, Joel, before you go. Sometimes its strategist job 87 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 1: is to walk with therapy to how people stay invested 88 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: in sleep well at night, do some therapy right now, 89 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: what's the one reason people should stay invested in this 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: market through all the next year and beyond? Um? You know, I, 91 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, I actually John I and my my therapy 92 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: is a little bit different. Um, I'm seeing a Listen, 93 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm a bullish you know, I'm bullish about the market 94 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: and optimistic in general. But I'm seeing almost complacency. What 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: people just saying is just ignore the ignore any bad news. 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: Just by the depths. The feed is backing this. Everything 97 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: is gonna be okay, and there are things to be 98 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: concerned about, to worry about. And in many ways I'm 99 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: saying to the bullish guys, um, listen, I I agree 100 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: with you, but there are you know, we didn't roll 101 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: off of a ton of stimulus here. We don't have 102 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: clarity on what tax policy is. You know, oil prices 103 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: can be disruptive. Just check to make sure that your 104 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: bullishit and this is warranted. I think it is, but 105 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: just you know, go and double check. The bullishness is 106 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: just very strong. I'll give you a cool when I 107 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: struggle to sleep later, John. Thank you, Jonathan Gullup that 108 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: sas on the secondy market. The market was in line 109 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: with this idea that QUEI was separate from higher interest rates. 110 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: You can't say that anymore, Tom, in the same way. 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: That's changed in the last couple of months. Let's drive 112 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: this conversation forward, and we do it with someone really interesting. 113 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: She is a claim for hyper hyper detailed notes and 114 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: high frequency economics, taking all the wonderful granularity of her 115 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: Stone and McCarthy hears or throughout Rubila for Rookie could 116 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: be with us today, working always with Carl Wineber RUBYLA, 117 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: what is in the details right now? If I look 118 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: at your high frequency economics domestic note, which is the 119 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: item that has your greatest attention? Well, good morning, thank 120 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: you for having me. Uh you know, what we're looking 121 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: at is how the consumer responding to high inflation pressures 122 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: and what the underline trend and inflation is. And I 123 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: think this whole debate around great heights and how the 124 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: central Bank is going to respond is centered around these 125 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: inflation high inflation readings that are lasting longer than expected 126 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: and also rising inflation expectations. So I do think that 127 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: what is being priced in right now is a little aggressive, 128 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: and I do think that this sets up the path 129 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: that UH as we see inflation moderate over the course 130 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: of twenty two, that these expectations are going to reset 131 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: and that's going to have implications for the yield, especially 132 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: the short end. You're as good as your data can 133 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: you get good made and data. Now, with the dislocations, 134 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: say in the automobile business, or the dislocations at the 135 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: ports on the West coast, how good is the goodness 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: of the data you and Carl Weinberg have. It is 137 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: definitely challenging right now to figure out what the underlying 138 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: trends are in consumer spending or let's say, business investment, 139 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: given the dislocations we're seeing on the supply side of 140 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: the economy. But what we do expect is that these 141 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: disruptions are going to eventually pan out and what we 142 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: see beyond that is a slower pace where the impetus 143 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: from for demand, which is you know, is being built 144 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: into expectations of inflation resting wronger longer that is not there. 145 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: You're not going to see the sugar high or fiscal 146 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: posture and enhanced unemployment benefits. So as supply dynamics readjust, 147 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: we do think that the demand side of this equation 148 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: is also going to be tempered, and that's why we 149 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: think we're going to move into a lower inflation and 150 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: lower growth sort of environment. Repeat, Can you put some 151 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: numbers on that for next year? Just going through the 152 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: e c f C function on the Bloomberg for where 153 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: the major is right now, the survey that we conduct 154 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: for economists going forward twenty two real GDP at about 155 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: four percent, c p I three point three percent for 156 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: twenty two. For next year four and three, what are 157 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: you looking for if you look at our forecasts and 158 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: we are sub three percent on a que for Q 159 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: four basis, you know, closer to three and a half 160 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: percent on a calendar average basis, and on CPI inflation, 161 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: we are still seeing higher readings and that is a 162 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: function of you know, how we expect the goods and 163 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: service sector. How that adjustment is going to happen, especially 164 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: as you see normalization of the service sector o E 165 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: ER that is a large component. So I do think 166 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: that we're going to see a lift from that and 167 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: the goods side. There's so much uncertainty from the supply 168 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: chain side that you know, it's it's really difficult to 169 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: time how or when that is going to happen. But 170 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: we do expect to see elevated readings. But by the 171 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: second half of the year, growth is going to be 172 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: in our assessment closer to two and a half percent, 173 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: and inflation readings are also going to ease quite substantially, 174 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: closer to two So reveal on on those supply chain problems. 175 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: That's not something that monetary policymakers are easily equipped to address. 176 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: But obviously the inflation caused by it is causing central 177 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: banks to get pretty uncomfortable or seeing that at the 178 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: b o e S. John said, you have Russia hiking 179 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: as well. On the phase of inflation at a five 180 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: year high, do we run the risk of when those 181 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: bottlenecks eased, we end up with policy that is too tight, Well, 182 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: that is exactly you know what we have been talking about, 183 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: is that this is the supply dynamic that you know, 184 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: any action from the FED is really not equipped to address. 185 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: So if you are looking at the expectation that demand 186 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: is going to be so strong that it unlicits a 187 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: FED response, we don't really subscribe to that new So 188 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: I guess there is there is a chance that you know, 189 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: you do see a response from the FED that you know, 190 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: tamps down the economy, uh, you know, in a in 191 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: a more substantial way than is needed. But I do 192 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: think that all this is centered around what the FED 193 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: is communicating right now, and what they're communicating is that 194 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: if inflation does turn out to be you know, substantially stickier, 195 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: that they are ready to respond. But I think it's 196 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: a matter of managing expectations rather than them saying that, 197 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, we are not we are just going to 198 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: sit back and and you know, let this happen. The 199 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: inflation and expectations are arising, and what they need to 200 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: do is manage those expectations. And this is the communication process. 201 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: What they're saying is that they're not going to uh, 202 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: they're not going to let this occur at a rate 203 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: you know that we're seeing right now, Well, it's a 204 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: good point on inflation expectations, and that brings me to 205 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: a question on the consumer, because obviously we're in the 206 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: thick of earning season, we're talking a lot about supply 207 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: chain issues and companies raising costs because of their higher 208 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: input costs are colleaguet Bloomberg Opinion Andrea Fell said put 209 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: out a column on the terminal talking about the likes 210 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: of Unilever, and yes, price hikes are working for them 211 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: for now, but if they hike further, there may be 212 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: a point in time where consumers are not going to 213 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: be tolerant of them. What is your take on that? Yeah, 214 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: that's that's exactly right. I mean, I do think that 215 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: the expectation that these price increases are going to continue forever. 216 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: I do think that, um, that is I'm not sure 217 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: that that's really realistic. At some point, either the consumer 218 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: steps back or you know, you have to adjust your 219 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: expectations about uh, you know, wage increases or the response 220 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: from just in terms of how the consumer response to uh, 221 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, persistently high uh or or accelerating inflation. So 222 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: I do think that there will be pushed back at 223 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: some point. I do think that these companies that are 224 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: able to pass through the consumer is bast household balance 225 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: sheet is very healthy right now, so the consumer is 226 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: able to bear a little bit of this price pressure. 227 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: But I do think that there's a limit to this, 228 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: and in terms of you know, how successful companies will 229 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: be in passing on price increases. Rebeta, thank you as always, 230 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: Rebeata FERUKEI that of high frequency economics. John. What we 231 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: can suggest is some girls would like to talk to us, 232 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: and that would be Lizzie and Saunders. Hardcore Stones fan 233 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: joins us writing it up. I'll never be your beast 234 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: of burden. My back is broad, but it's a hurt. 235 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: And Lizzie Saunders, you are writing on the equity markets 236 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: about the beasts of burden that are out there. Which 237 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: one has your attention? Well, I think there are some 238 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: signs that some pressures might be easing, even though durable 239 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: goods prices are still up. There's some signs of durable 240 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: goods consumption is rolling over a little bit, but a 241 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: little bit of rolling over in suppire delivery times. But 242 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: to John's point just before I came on, it really 243 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: depends on on what good or service you're talking about. 244 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: Us to the timeframe associated when we get some balance 245 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: back between demand and supply. But the one benefit to 246 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: high prices is that it's actually easing some of the 247 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: demand pressures, and the hope is that that force predates 248 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: that that's need to step in more aggressively. You will 249 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: be overwhelmed at Charles Schwab in the coming days with 250 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: what do we do at a record standard or high 251 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: What do you advise? I think I think rotational leadership ships, 252 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: even some rotational corrections which have characterized much of this year, 253 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: are likely to persist. But there's enough offsets when you 254 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: go through these pockets of weakness that the net is 255 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: it keeps the index level declines to a fairly benign degree. 256 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: As we saw more recently when we had the five 257 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: point drop in the SMP. You still have SMP that 258 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: has had at least a tem per cent raw down 259 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: this year, and the average draw down is eight and 260 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: I think that type of environment is likely to persist. 261 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: That's a pretty benign way to ease whether it's sent 262 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: him an excess with technical excess and valuation excesses. And 263 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: I think if you do more sort of volatility based 264 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: rebalancing as opposed to trying to do short term market 265 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: timing that helps investors stay in gear in this kind 266 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: of market. Well, speaking of volatility, Lisianne, the VIX is 267 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: sub fifteen we're looking at this morning. Can volatility stay 268 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: this subdued into your end? Yes, I think a measure 269 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: like the VIX can stay fairly subdued. But that doesn't 270 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: mean you're not going to continue to see some of 271 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: these underlying leadership shifts and some of the swaps that 272 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: are happening even on a day to day basis, where uh, 273 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, you'll see energy at the top of the 274 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: leader board for a day or two and check at 275 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: the bottom and then you see a complete reversal of that. 276 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: And I think those ships are keying off these days 277 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: to a great degree, the bond market, and what what 278 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: tenure yields are doing. For a while there they were 279 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: those leadership ships were keying off the delta variant um. 280 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: That seems to be less of a force now and 281 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: let's hope that stays in the rearview mirror. Well, the 282 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: bond market is John was just talking about, is pricing 283 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: in a much higher rate of inflation over the next 284 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: five years, with three percent on the five year break even. 285 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: I was reading your note from a couple of days ago, 286 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: and you said that there's a shift from pro cyclical 287 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: to countercyclical inflation. Countercyclical meaning high prices drag on economic activities. 288 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: So we're talking more inflation growth getting hit. Can you 289 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: differentiate between that and stag inflation? Well, stagflation if you 290 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: use the precise steffinition tied to what was going on 291 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: in the seventies. It wasn't just weak economic growth and 292 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: higher inflation. It was high and rising unemployment and to 293 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: some degree, weak productivity. And we clearly don't have those 294 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: ladder two factors. So whether we come up with some 295 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: catching new phrase for just a slow and growth environment, 296 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: I think this is more of a shift from pro 297 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: cyclical inflation, which is what we had at the beginning 298 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: of the reopening. Higher demand pushed up prices. Now we've 299 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: got high prices pushing down demand and economic growth. I 300 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: think that's a better way to think about the current 301 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: environment than likening it to the seventies. Liszen Saunders, what 302 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: is the new definition of the debate of pricing power? 303 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: We've seen eras of discussion of pricing powers among our 304 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: American corporations what's new this time. Well, I don't think 305 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: we have yet kicked in the psychological component that feeds 306 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: into the wage price spiral that we saw in the 307 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: nine seventies. And that's a bit more esoteric. It's not 308 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: as easy to measure, there's no numerics associated with it. 309 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: But it's when that psychology kicks in. When workers the 310 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: psyche changes, they feel they have the power to demand 311 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: not just one time higher compensation ship but on a 312 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: persistent basis. The power that companies feel they have when 313 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: the psyche changes, to persistently pass on higher costs. I 314 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: don't think we're there yet, but it's also why I 315 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 1: think the margins story and the outlooks associated with that 316 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: as we go through third quota reporting season, or maybe 317 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: even more important than what the numbers are being reported 318 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: for the quarter. Now, we're gonna go inside baseball here, 319 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: and we can do this with a wonderful Lisa and 320 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: Saunders lisenne I plotted today the value line arithmetic index 321 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: minus the value line geometric index, which is one indication 322 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: of the consolidation the concentration of a given broader American 323 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: stock market. The slope is absolutely original. Give us an 324 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: update on the dominance of profitable cash flow big tech. 325 00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: So I think profitability rising earnings revisions, as i've factor, 326 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: is going to be increasingly important, especially if we if 327 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: if this environment of weakening growth courtesy of higher inflation 328 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: is less transitory than what was thought to be the case. 329 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: I think focusing on those factors that sort of separate 330 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: you from the masses, and the beauty of of some 331 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: of those factors, especially rising earnings revisions forward looking higher 332 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: profitability is it's almost a hybrid growth and value factor 333 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: because of course, if you've got those rising earnings revisions, 334 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: you've got a rising denominator, which means following multiples. And 335 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: in addition to the volatility based rebalancing that we already 336 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: talked about, I think a factor based approach makes more 337 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: sense in this environment than trying to make sector calls. 338 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: And I think taking advantage of weaker growth and what 339 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: that means for companies that do have that sustainable growth 340 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: trajectory looking forward is probably the best way to approach 341 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: the market, especially if you're a stock. By always great 342 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: to catch. Thanks you so much, swap right now, Kaylee Lines, 343 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: and I would like to manage the message on your 344 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: next air travel over to Helene Becker to say she's 345 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: senior research at Analystic Cowen with Kivan Rumor barely defines 346 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: the ownership of Cowen with Airlines Securities Analysis Excellence going 347 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: back decades and decades, Helene Becker, I know you're gonna 348 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: tell me you've never seen it like this before. What 349 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: will our industry look like in twelve months. I think 350 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot better than it is now. 351 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: We're still in that transition phase UM, which we expected 352 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: would last. I actually thought it would last three to 353 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: five years. And UM for for domestic recovery. Of course, 354 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't counting on the government giving people a lot 355 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: of money UM, and I think the stimulus obviously helped travel. UM. 356 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: Usually if you have time, you don't have money, and 357 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: if you have money, you don't have time. So it's 358 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: been over the past I would say six or nine months, 359 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: we've seen a huge recovery in domestic air travel and 360 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: we expect that to continue. UM. Business travel should come 361 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: back in two not all the way we're thinking of 362 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: the way, which you know we've talked about. And in 363 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: the international next summer should be a pretty good international UM. 364 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: People will want to, we'll take those trips. Tell me 365 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: about the price discrimination, the idea of selling the cheapest 366 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: seat and then forty seven slices up and up to 367 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: a full price first class ticket. I look at the 368 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: ratio of business class to economy and it's outrageous executed 369 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: obviously because of COVID and all that. Are we going 370 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: back to the normal price discrimination perceit of pre pandemic 371 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: or is there a new new to all this now, 372 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: I see? I don't you know. I don't know how 373 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: to answer the question, other than to say that I think, um, 374 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: people don't like to be squished in the back of 375 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: the planes, and what the airlines are seeing is more 376 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: more leisure travelers actually buying up too, if not first 377 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: class to premium economy or whatever they call this first 378 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 1: maybe five or seven rows um to get just a 379 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: little more leg room. And you know you've heard about 380 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: all the unruly passengers on board. I think part of 381 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: it is just the squishiness, the wearing of the masks, 382 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: the whole uncomfort level. I don't think that's going to change. Um. 383 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: We we didn't talk about oil prices yet this morning, 384 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: but the oil prices up sixty percent right, every year, right, 385 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: So at some point capacity has to come down or 386 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: airlines have to raise ticket prices. And I think ticket 387 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: prices are going off well that I'm so glad you 388 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: brought that up, Lane, because we heard the likes of 389 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: Delta warning about that, for example, saying oil prices are 390 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: going to weigh and we might not actually be pro 391 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: fitable in the last quarter of the year. Why is 392 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: it that airlines can't exercise enough pricing power to offset 393 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: that cost. Yeah, So the issue for airlines is they 394 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: sell six of their tickets within ninety days of travel, 395 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: so generally you enter the first of the month having 396 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: sold at almost two thirds of your seats. So the 397 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: price that you've set it was using a fuel price 398 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: that was established two or three months ago, So you're 399 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: you're looking at the forward curve and you're trying to 400 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: figure out what the price is going to look like 401 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: when the person takes the trip. We don't do fuel 402 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: charges for domestic trips in the United States, only international, 403 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: so there's that mismatch. You have to work through that 404 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: group of tickets and then within the month you can 405 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: address it. So it takes a couple of months. We 406 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: figure the regressions. We've done show anywhere from two to 407 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: four months. I know Delta set up to six months 408 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: to get price. United said the other day we will 409 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: raise ticket prices and they just have to because I 410 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: heard your segment with Lausanne and um excuse me. One 411 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: of the things that she was talking about was wage inflation. Well, 412 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: the Alanes are experiencing too, especially for entry level jobs 413 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: and the markets where they're competing with people like Amazon 414 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: or Facebook or Yahoo, are Microsoft. You're seeing huge wage 415 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: inflation even at the corporate level, not just in entry 416 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: level jobs. You're seeing that in retention. So you know, 417 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: we're we're looking at margin pressure over the next six 418 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: or nine months, and you know the only thing they 419 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: can do is raise ticket prices, which will which will 420 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: tamp down demand. Helene, it's like you're reading my mind 421 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: because I was going to go to labor next. Not 422 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: so much because of the wage inflation part of the conversation, 423 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: but just getting people to fly your planes, to be 424 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: flight attendants within the planes. Given a lot of the 425 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: trouble that Southwest, for example, has had with its vaccine mandate, 426 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: how do you handicap that kind of issue When are 427 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: thinking fundamentally about these airlines. Yeah, so I'm not gonna 428 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: get into the whole vaccine thing. I mean, United had 429 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: a lot of success working with their employees and getting 430 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: the vaccine mandate. Everybody's done. It's you know, it's just 431 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: got to be done from a safety perspective, right, That's 432 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: like the number one thing airlines talked about all the time. 433 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: We want to be safe. So that's the first thing. Um, 434 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: flight attendants. I kind of think that it's not a 435 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: hard job to fill. Delta had thirty five thousand applications 436 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: for spots and United had twenty thousand for two thousand, 437 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: So that's not the problem, even when maybe more so pilots. Yeah, 438 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: pilots are a problem for sure. Mechanics. Nobody ever talks 439 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: about the fact that we're not turning out enough mechanics 440 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: to keep the planes in the air. Um, you know, 441 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: that's an issue for for airlines over the next few years. Pilots. 442 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: United so they hired a thousand, They were going to 443 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: hire ten thousand pilots this decade. American and Delta are 444 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: not far behind. Mind. I mean, we we've estimated that 445 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: in order to replace the pilots retiring and to handle 446 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: the growth they've talked about in Say and Beyond. We're 447 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: we need pilots, so that's going to be an amazing 448 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: career UM and their academies that you can go that 449 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: will help you financially and that will wash you out 450 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: if you don't have the skill set early, so you 451 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: don't wind up going through the process of knowing lots 452 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: of money. UM. Really the issue for labor is going 453 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: to be in the areas of entry level like airport staffing, 454 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: the contractors the airlines use at the catering, wheelchair runners, UM, 455 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: baggage handling. That's really where you're having a hard time 456 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: finding people to come back. Hello, and we got to 457 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: leave it the more questions will do it again legendary 458 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: on the airline business. You know, Kayley, all of our 459 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: audiences really care about this stuff. We've all got our anecdotes. 460 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: I just want to say, in all the travel I've 461 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: done through this horrific pandemic, I've seen service, Kaylee, like 462 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: I've never seen. If there's been failures, yeah, but all 463 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: in all, it's been stunning.
