Sam Zelli, Bloomberg Intelligence, Director of Research for 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: Global Industries and Senior Pharmaceuticals, joins us from London. 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 3: Hey Sam, what is Morphic? Do we like this deal? 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts? 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, so, Alex, thanks for having me back on it's 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 5: been a little while. So this deal is about adding 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 5: to their immunology franchise. Of course, everybody knows Lily for 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 5: the endless thing headlines that are related to GLP ones 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 5: and obesity and cancer. Today we have apparently ten cancers 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 5: that are not cured, but risk is reduced with those 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 5: types of drugs. But the reality is there's a lot 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 5: more to this company before the GLP one business ballooned 23 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 5: with regards to obesity, and one of the areas there 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 5: in is immunology or otherwise known as immunology and inflammation 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 5: or inflammation and immunology I and I and I and 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 5: I is also a very attractive area because these are 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 5: areas where we all have issues with arthritissoriasis, Crow's disease, 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 5: if elamentary bowel disease. 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 6: All these things are stuff that we have been suffering 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 6: from for years. 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 5: Obesity probably increases their risk too, so and there've been 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 5: a very active company in that space with three drugs 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 5: four drugs on the market already and they've been doing 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 5: deals adding to it. 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 7: SAM three point two billion dollars is not a big 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 7: big deal for Lily, But is this typical of what 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 7: we see at a big pharma companies in terms of 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 7: if they see a therapeutic or just a piece of 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 7: science as interesting to them, it's better to buy than 40 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 7: develop internally. 41 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, So I would say they're around thirty to forty 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 5: percent of pharmaceutical companies. Pipelines comes from this type of interaction, 43 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 5: either at. 44 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 6: An M and a deal I e. 45 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 5: Bought the whole thing lock Stock and Barrel, or I 46 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 5: license a specific product in this case. 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 6: So I'm looking at Lily. We have a database. 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 5: Of course, we have the MAA function in the Bloomberg terminal, 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 5: but we've taken that and dissected a little bit more 50 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 5: and added on the bi dashboard and detail about the 51 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 5: types of drugs that are in. 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 6: Those deals, and MNA is one of that. 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 5: So I'm looking at twelve deals that Lily has done 54 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 5: in the past five years, and I'd say that only 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 5: like three or three of them are in the cardiovascular 56 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 5: metabolic space. I either diabetes OBS, the rest are oncology CNS, 57 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 5: and of course two are inflammation and immunology, and this 58 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 5: is one of them. So now it becomes three, right, 59 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 5: because that's not quite updated yet. And they're all in 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 5: the sort of range eight billion for locksow one point 61 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: one eight hundred and eighty million, two point four billion. 62 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 5: So we've got a good bunch of deals, and they're 63 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 5: all in that level which the Farmer company is called 64 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 5: Bolton Acquisitions, and that's their sweet spot of M and A. 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: See Alex. 66 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 7: Everybody thinks that the smart people in bi pharma healthcare 67 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 7: researcher guys people like Sam Fazelliot. 68 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 4: That's not really the case. It's this young lady named. 69 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 7: Grace and she's in Princeton and she maintains a world 70 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 7: class model that tracks the millions of drugs that are 71 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 7: in various stages of you know, reviews around the world, 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 7: and clients put huge value on that work that she does, 73 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 7: and that allows Sam and some of the other anamals 74 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 7: to go out there and talk about these drugs. 75 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: So Grace a great job. 76 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: As always love Paul shout out that was awesome, so true. 77 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 5: And he needs to This particular shout out goes to 78 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 5: another great lady who's called Mila, Mila Bankoskaya, who's also 79 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: part of our team. 80 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 6: But nobody matches up to Grace. 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 5: Of course, Grace has been in the Catalyst calendar that 82 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 5: year and I don't match up to her. 83 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 6: Nobody matches up to her. 84 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: Okay, So based on that, what are some of the 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: cool things that are out there, like cool drugs that 86 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: we should be talking about. We never get to talk 87 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: to you when there's no crisis, really, so what are 88 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: some cool things out there? 89 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 6: Yeah? 90 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 5: So obviously the OBC space, there's there's breakneck evolution of 91 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 5: different modalities being combined trying to make it much more 92 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 5: focused on fat, preserving some muscle, making it work better 93 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 5: for the liver part. 94 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 6: Of the disease. 95 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 5: And that's all going to come to fruition over the 96 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 5: next two or three years. On colog years, I've been 97 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: saying all along is seeing amazing developments. 98 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 6: You know, we're developing. 99 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 5: These disease hubs, as you might know, and just for 100 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 5: lung cancer, we're developing almost thirteen different subgroupings of lung cancer. 101 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 5: And it just shows you where treatment of these diseases 102 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 5: have got to. And the same applies in inflammation and imminology, 103 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 5: and in that space we're dealing with technology that is 104 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 5: really cool. This particular acquisition and the one that they 105 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 5: recently did its almost exactly a year ago, called dice therapeutics, 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 5: are all about dealing with proteins that are very intractable 107 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: to inhibition and normal drug discovery, and these two companies 108 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 5: have developed oral drugs small molecules that interact with these targets. 109 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 6: And the beauty of this, of course is do you 110 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 6: remember all that worry. 111 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 5: That when people were having about what happens with the 112 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 5: IRA inflation reduction acts and its impact on small molecule development, 113 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 5: because it specifically puts them out, saying, after nine years, 114 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 5: irrespective of your patterns, we're. 115 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 6: Going to come back in and negotiate prices. 116 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: Well, here's Lily who's done two deals that are specifically 117 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 5: small molecule deals. When the biology is interesting, when the 118 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 5: drugs are interesting, I think the deals happen. Now, whether 119 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: these will get to market or not, who knows. I mean, 120 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 5: farmer isn't infallible when it comes to these deals. But 121 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 5: this shows that when they have they see something interesting, 122 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 5: they go for it, irrespective of small or big. 123 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 7: Molecule sam People for better or worse, are living longer 124 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 7: and longer lives, which makes every family it seems like 125 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 7: it's dealing with some type of dementia, Alzheimer's and things 126 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 7: like that. How does the farmer, the farmer industry, healthcare adustry, 127 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 7: how do they think about that? How are they kind 128 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 7: of getting ready for that? 129 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know the beginnings. Can I just give 130 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 6: you an example. 131 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 5: An analogue for Alzheimer's disease is obesity. We've been at 132 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 5: this obesity game for a year, ten years, fifteen years, 133 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: twenty years. I remember one of the old drugs from 134 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 5: Rush Pharmaceuticals that are that's still around called ally that 135 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 5: reduced the amount of fat. 136 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 6: You absorb as you eat. 137 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 5: Of course, what does that create fat left in your 138 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: stomach lubrication. I'm going to leave the rest of it 139 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 5: your imagination, right, So, that was the idea that was 140 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 5: going to be helping you lose weight, maybe three percent, 141 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 5: four percent, five percent. And then it took a lot 142 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 5: of time before somebody started discovering these things saying, oh gosh, 143 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 5: we can get to fifteen twenty percent. If you're a 144 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty pounds person, we can help you 145 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 5: drop seventy pounds. That happened in obesity, I'm hopeful that 146 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: the same happens in dementia and neurodegeneratic diseases. 147 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 6: It's very much tougher. 148 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 5: I mean, all biology is tough, but CNS is tougher 149 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 5: because it's a black box. It's a disease that evolves 150 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 5: over twenty years, thirty years, and by the time you 151 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 5: your disease manifests, you've already had a lot of organic 152 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 5: change to your brain. But there is the first products 153 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 5: that are approved. With the first products approved, you do 154 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 5: get a bit more incentive to develop the next one. 155 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 5: Go better, Go another mile further, and that's where I'm 156 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 5: hoping at the very least in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's 157 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 5: we're going to be going there. 158 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 6: Other diseases are a bit tougher. Still, do you. 159 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: Think that we'll ever have a preventative drug for Alzheimer's 160 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: or just a treatment. 161 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 5: To delay well, the I think it's very tough to 162 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 5: prevent because how do you know who's going to get it? 163 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 5: That means you and I especially I, because you guys 164 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 5: are much longer than me, younger than me. Paul is 165 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 5: he's just coming out of school, right, So my thing 166 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 5: is that at what point do you start taking these drugs? 167 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 8: Right? 168 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 6: How do I do that? So that becomes difficult? Who 169 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 6: pays for it? 170 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 5: And if they're preventative, how long do I have to 171 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 5: take them before I know? I mean, how do you 172 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 5: even do a trial there? So don't forget though, Now 173 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 5: that's disease. You can go into the early mild dementia 174 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 5: and try and slow down the disease, but step at 175 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: the time, at a step at the time, and nothink 176 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 5: will we'll have something, might take a decade or two, 177 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 5: but hopefully will have them. 178 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 7: And Sam again, are these is this something if we 179 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 7: see announcements on this front will likely be, you know, 180 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 7: the big form of companies that you cover making and 181 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 7: acquisitions of some of these smaller companies that are just 182 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 7: focused on this one particular thing. 183 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: Probably, and don't forget that also the large farmer companies. 184 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 5: I mean then the two drugs that we have on 185 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 5: the market today that can be and I forget what 186 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 5: Dunana maps caol has just been approved, so I can't 187 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: remember it a branded name. 188 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Iliy. 189 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 5: They both came from within either the farmer company or 190 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 5: the a Japanese partner. However, in the case of the 191 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 5: can be that came from a Scandinavian biotech, So both 192 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 5: of these are true. 193 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 6: The question is who's got the firepower. 194 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 5: The money to spend the billions required to develop these 195 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 5: and that's often ends up being the farmer companies. 196 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 6: It's the large farmer companies. 197 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: Do you feel like, no matter who gets to be 198 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: president in here in November, here in the US, are 199 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: we going to see massive drug pushback? Like I realized, 200 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: it's probably a campaign tactic. But President Biden coming out 201 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: last week and talking about how all the things were 202 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: so expensive and really blaming like Novo Nordos. He wrote 203 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: an app that with Bernie Sanders in USA today, what 204 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: do you. 205 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 5: Think I think this is a hot potato, which hand 206 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 5: them are going to? I think it is a I 207 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 5: don't think they are aiming their guns at the right 208 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 5: group of companies. I think you could always argue that 209 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 5: drug pricing because it's the easiest thing. It's a drug 210 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 5: that people have to buy, and it says Lily on 211 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 5: it right, is difficult for some people. 212 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 6: A lot of people can't afford them. 213 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 5: But there's a lot of middlemen that need to be 214 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 5: looked at to where the where the increasing cost comes from. 215 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 5: And you know what, the best way to entice people 216 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 5: to develop obcity drugs, to bring down the price, to 217 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 5: bring up competition is to allow the market to do 218 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 5: his job. The market will do it already. These things 219 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 5: are not costing ten one thousand dollars a month. We're 220 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 5: more closer to five hundred net. Let the market to 221 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 5: the job, bring more drugs. On the volume goes up, 222 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 5: you can drop the price. 223 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: Hey, Sam, thanks so much for joining us. 224 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 7: As always expansive discussion, like we like to have a 225 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,119 Speaker 7: san Fazelo in all things. A big farmer in biotech Sanfazeli. 226 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 7: He's he runs up Bloomberg Intelligencing over there in your force, 227 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 7: and his day job is being one of the top 228 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 7: healthcare parmer analysts in the city of London. Eli Lilly 229 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 7: back at a bus. I've said it before, I'll say 230 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 7: it again in my next life. I'm coming back. I 231 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 7: think as a healthcare m and a banker, because everywhere 232 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 7: every Monday, it seems thinking to wake up and boom, 233 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 7: there you go, Illely buying us biotech Morphic three point 234 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 7: two billion dollars. 235 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 4: This is Bloomberg. 236 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast.

There's headwinds 243 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 7: about when or if this FED is going to cut rates. 244 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 7: There's concentration risk is probably ranks pretty highly with me. 245 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 7: Let's check in with a professional and see how they're 246 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 7: thinking about it. Shelby McFadden Investment analyst, Motley Full Asset 247 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 7: Management joining us from Zoom via Zoom from Alexandria, Virginia. Shelby, 248 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 7: how concerned are you about this marketplace? How do you 249 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 7: feel about this market? Are you confident that this equity 250 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 7: market can continue to move higher? 251 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: Where are you these days? 252 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: You know? 253 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 3: I would say this sort of confidence and concern is 254 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 3: sort of a two pronged issue, right. So the confidence, 255 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: who can say, right, we all kind of wish we 256 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 3: had a crystal ball, especially as active managers. But the 257 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: sort of confidence, I would say, is rooted in the 258 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: fact that this is the precise sort of market where 259 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 3: you can sort of find those opportunities. They may not 260 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 3: necessarily pay the dividend right away, and that sort of 261 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: goes to the issue of concentration that you had mentioned 262 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: in the introduction, where you know, to look for those winners, 263 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: those diamonds in the rough that may not be sort 264 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: of paying off right now, But when that return of 265 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 3: breath comes back, that's when we sort of get to 266 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: see the fruits of our labor. And that is right 267 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: there the crux of active management so valuations they're rich. 268 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: That can be concerning. It's never exciting to have to 269 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: sit and wait for that golden opportunity that we've been 270 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: watching out for, but it absolutely pays off from the end, 271 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 3: and that's why we stick to that high quality strategy. 272 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: Do you care about breath? Do you care about the 273 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: seventeen hundred stats that I read today about how you 274 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: know the top seven stocks reported x amount of the 275 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: gain in the S and P so far this year? 276 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: I say it glibly because I feel like we've been 277 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 2: talking about this for like nine months, So how much 278 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: do you care about that now? 279 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: I would say that breath does still matter to us, 280 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: and I even say that given the fact that we 281 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 3: have what are considered more concentrated portfolio. So you may 282 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: be thinking, how does that even make sense? It makes 283 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 3: sense in the concept rather in the realm that compared 284 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: to the SM compared to what we consider the broad market, 285 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: we are more concerned with finding opportunities that are not 286 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: necessarily just all concentrated in one space. So when we 287 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: do look at our active ETFs, they're not always going 288 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 3: to reflect the main stocks that are moving the market. 289 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: There are going to be some more sort of niche 290 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: concepts in there that underlie some of the main processes 291 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: that keep our economy going. So when we look from 292 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: a portfolio management perspective, breath is increasingly important to us. 293 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 7: Shelby, how do you think about earning season. We're going 294 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 7: to kick it off Thursday with some of the airlines 295 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 7: and then of course the big banks kicking off on Friday. 296 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 4: What are you looking for this quarter? 297 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: I would say, going into early earning season, you know, 298 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: we're not expecting anything to earth shaking from the big 299 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: banks for the most part, they've already gotten all of 300 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: their shakeouts going. We might hear about a little bit 301 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: of M and A activity, and you know, mainly following 302 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: the regionals after the big banks. As we go further 303 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: into earning season, I think one of the key things 304 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: that we're looking out for is going to be back 305 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: office spend, those sorts of budgets on any sort of 306 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: CRM technology advertising, all of those sorts of software platforms 307 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: that made a lot of revenue in the past couple 308 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: of years. So we're looking to see where corporate budgets 309 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 3: are going, but also in the retail space, how is 310 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: the consumer holding up? The summer is a little bit 311 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: more dry in terms of promotional activity around holidays. You've 312 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: got Memorial Day for Labor Day, so there's a lot 313 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: of those really big chunks of weeks where there's not 314 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 3: as much promotional activity, and that's where we're going to 315 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: get a truer sense of how the consumer is doing. 316 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: So we'll be having a good lookout for that sort 317 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: of easter to end of Q two. 318 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: Chunk for the back of the office spend are you 319 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: watching specifically, like if that budget grows or just that 320 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: budget stays versus shrinks, or like where it's going to 321 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: actually be going and how the money is diverted. 322 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: It's a sort of all of the above, right, because 323 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: that's all going to tell us a different story. So 324 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: if it is shrinking, that starts to tell us that 325 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 3: potentially companies are in a spot where they're so concerned 326 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: about their coffers that they are now less concerned about efficiency. 327 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 3: We think that's a little bit less likely because when 328 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: you've got shareholders, you tend to need to focus on efficiency. 329 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 3: So we're sort of looking for that stable to growing 330 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: for a number of companies there, their own sort of 331 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: projections are depending on a return to growth. So a 332 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: return of company's desires to have more efficiency. So I 333 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: would if I had to put money on it, I 334 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 3: would probably say, we're expecting to see on the whole 335 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: plot to growth in that area. 336 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 4: Shelby. 337 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 7: Earlier today, we were speaking with the head economists at 338 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 7: MasterCard to get a sense of kind of how the consumer. 339 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: Is behave shell Meyer. 340 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 9: Yes, love her, excellent, excellent, We love you too, and 341 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 9: she she's saying, just the data that they see, the 342 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 9: consumer is still spending and the consumer looks pretty healthy. 343 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 4: How do you think about it? 344 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting because some of the recent pieces 345 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 3: that I've read have pointed to the fact that there's 346 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 3: a big cohort of millennials and young or older rather 347 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 3: gen z that are coming into the stage of their 348 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: lives where they have to purchase certain necessities. The amount 349 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 3: of money in life that they spend is just growing 350 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: because it has to. And then when you put on 351 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: top of that the sort of economy that we're in 352 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: where things are more inflationary. We know that we're fighting that. 353 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: Right now, you switsh those two things together and we 354 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: get a picture that looks like a very healthy consumer 355 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: on the top. You know, the superficial most level, and 356 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: as we sort of drill down, we see a sort 357 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: of obligation to spend when we look at the fact 358 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 3: that retailers of things like shoes, shoes are broadly pretty 359 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 3: weak right now, and so we think about the fact 360 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 3: that people are not wanting to pick up those little 361 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 3: things in the store, those little articles of clothing, you know, 362 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 3: extra pairs of socks, things like that that you used 363 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 3: to kind of use to comfort yourself. You drill down 364 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 3: to that you realize a lot of the spending is 365 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 3: not so discretionary and healthy in the sense that money 366 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: is being spent, but the discretionary spend not as much. 367 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 3: So I think we have to really drill down to 368 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 3: see what the consumer is feeling. How do you play it? 369 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 3: I think the way to play it is one as 370 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 3: you meant, there's a way to play it with MasterCard, 371 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: which is they're a toll taker, so you go ahead 372 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: and just frankly take advantage of the fact that cars 373 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 3: are going to be swite. Another way to play it 374 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 3: is taking the premium end of the consumer. So when 375 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: we think about companies like Costco, they're offering value, but 376 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: they're offering really sticky value in the way that they're 377 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 3: a little bit higher on the income schedule. Another way 378 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 3: to play it is Amazon. You look at the fact 379 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: that they are retail, They've got a strong retail base, 380 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 3: and then they've also got their aws space, so they 381 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 3: really rooted themselves pretty deeply inconvenience for both corporate and consumer. 382 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 3: So I think it really comes down to one companies 383 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 3: that have deeply rooted themselves across the cycle, and two 384 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: premiumization and three toll takers. 385 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 4: So I see you you've got cost go there. 386 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 7: So that kind of to me says you have, you know, 387 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 7: kind of a fairly constructive call on the consumer. What's 388 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 7: the feeling behind your costco name? 389 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 3: Well, one of the things we love about the costco 390 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 3: business and why it's in TFC and a number of 391 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 3: our portfolios, is that they really generate a sort of 392 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 3: annuity type structure. Their primary earnings are really or their 393 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: most stable earnings I should say, are coming from those memberships, 394 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: and they've really figured out a perfect timing on those 395 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 3: membership increases in such a way that it's almost gentle 396 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: to the customer. They've established a relationship and so when 397 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 3: it comes people aren't really you know, running for the fences, 398 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: and then on top of that, they've got the best 399 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: cost position in the industry. So we have actually seen 400 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: over the past eighteen months or so when we listen 401 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 3: in for the calls, they lower prices when they can. 402 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 3: And I'll even say anecdotally, when I go to Costco, 403 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: I have pointed out to my husband had said, that's 404 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: lower than it was. 405 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 6: A quarter ago. 406 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: So they are holding up on those promises and being 407 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 3: able to do that is really really important, and being 408 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: able to sure the consumer who can afford that executive 409 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 3: membership further solidifies their place in their peer market. 410 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: You also like Amazon, but that's less of a retail play, right, 411 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: that's more of a cloud play. 412 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 3: A bit, yes, so we do know that they've sort 413 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 3: of solidified that position in retail, but the cloud play 414 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: is right now in terms of valuation, of course, what's 415 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: really most sensitive for them. And that's also where at 416 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 3: this point our thesis is sort of tipping towards. So 417 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 3: the additional growth that we are hinging any sort of 418 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 3: investment on for Amazon comes from the cloud space rather 419 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: than retail, and so that's what we're predominantly looking out for. 420 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 3: We're looking for operational leverage there as well as continuing 421 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: to solidify their reputation and continue with innovation. So, you know, 422 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: retail is always going to be a little bit wobbly 423 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 3: in terms of, you know, any sort of regulations that 424 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 3: are coming things like that, But on the whole, it 425 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 3: does seem like the balance between what they do for 426 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: the consumer and their competitive position seems to be sort 427 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 3: of leveling out. So really the thesis hinges on aws. 428 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 7: Hey Shelby, who is a typical investor or customer of 429 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 7: Motley Full Asset Management. 430 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say a typical investor would be someone 431 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 3: that is looking to access high growth names in of 432 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 3: course you know, global but primarily US markets, but looking 433 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 3: to do so by stepping outside of the concentration of 434 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: the US market. So even though the portfolio itself and 435 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 3: an average portfolio for US is going to be fifteen 436 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 3: to thirty stocks, it's someone who's looking to beat the 437 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 3: market over the long term, over ten to fifteen years, 438 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: go ahead and build that wealth by making choices outside 439 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: of the sort of status quo. And that doesn't necessarily 440 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 3: mean that we're just choosing really really niche sectors that 441 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: no one's heard of, but we are looking for those 442 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 3: high quality companies that are going to focus on cash 443 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: flow and be a bit more resilient to the cycle 444 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 3: and therefore deliver focusing really on upside capture especially. 445 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 2: So then to that point, do you not care who 446 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: wins the White House in November? That could definitely influence policy, 447 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to climate and environmental laws. But 448 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: in general, are you able to look through that or 449 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: how do you manage it? 450 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 3: I would say in the short term, it's not something 451 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: that we're integrating into our strategy because it's not something 452 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 3: that we have control over. In the long term view, 453 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: we understand that there could be some sweeping changes, but 454 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 3: we do also know that that legislature will take some time. 455 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 3: So we keep our monitors out. We have our various 456 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 3: lists and various contacts that we are in touch with, 457 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: calls that we will tune into so that we can 458 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 3: be on top of things to adjust our models appropriately. 459 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 3: So I would say that in terms of our strategy, 460 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 3: we have to sort of be a bit agnostic. 461 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 6: I can't. 462 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 3: I don't know that I would say we can care 463 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 3: because that may do a disservice to our investors to 464 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 3: say it has to be this for us to succeed. 465 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 3: We are determined to make sure that we adjust accordingly 466 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 3: with any regulations or policies that change to make sure 467 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 3: that we can serve the active investor as best we can. 468 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 4: All Right, Shelby, thank you so much for joining us. 469 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 4: Shelby McFadden. 470 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 7: She's an investment analyst at Motley fool Asset Management.

Joining us now is Sean O'Hara, president of Pacer. 479 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: ETFs has forty five billion dollars assets under management. He 480 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: joins us from Pennsylvania. So Sean, we love this topic, 481 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 2: like who's buying, what, where are the flows? Where are 482 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 2: they coming out of We just ended the second quarter, 483 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: we're kind of kicking off the back half of the year. 484 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: What's the setup. 485 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 10: Well, it's the same setup as it's been for the 486 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 10: last six months to eighteen months, and that is that 487 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 10: you know, essentially five to seven stocks are really responsible 488 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 10: for all of the performance. So I just read an 489 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 10: article this morning that said I Shares had one of 490 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 10: its biggest NetFlow periods over six months, and I think 491 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 10: that's mostly driven by people buying the outright the S 492 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 10: and P five hundred. Obviously, the cues continue to take 493 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 10: in a lot of money. The one word of caution 494 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 10: I would say though, is that you know, mostly those 495 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 10: ETFs to track those broad indexes are meant to be 496 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 10: diversified portfolios, and what's going on today is the opposite 497 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 10: of diversification. So although the ETF industry continues to take 498 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 10: in almost record flows across the board, in these big 499 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 10: broad market market cap weighted ETFs, I think investors need 500 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 10: to be a little bit wary of the exposures. You have, 501 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 10: forty something percent of the cues is like seven names, 502 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 10: and so as it goes up, we could just as 503 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 10: easily see things come down as people start to view 504 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 10: some of these big tech names and these big AI 505 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 10: players as more closely or more close to fairly valued. 506 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 7: So how concerned are you about this market and the 507 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 7: concentration in this market. 508 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 10: Well, you know, I'm a believer in AI. I think 509 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 10: you don't have to be all in one way or 510 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 10: the other. I think, you know, perhaps from my perspective, 511 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 10: I'd rather be a little more balanced. I have exposure 512 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 10: to the AI trade in various different forms, but I 513 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 10: also have some lower PE, high higher quality stuff that 514 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 10: you know is kicking off nice dividends, and so you 515 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 10: can sort of wait and see what happens, and you're 516 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 10: less susceptible to a big drawdown. If let's say the 517 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 10: FED decides not to cut, or we get to the 518 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 10: third quarter earnings reports and those numbers have now been 519 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 10: adjusted high and higher, and somebody stubs their toe. You 520 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 10: could see a big reaction to that. So one of 521 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 10: the things that I think makes sense for people for 522 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 10: part of their portfolio is to lower the overall portfolios 523 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 10: PE before the market ultimately does it to them, which 524 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 10: it will at some point. You know, the SMP is 525 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 10: still trading at twenty two to twenty four times earnings, 526 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 10: in the nasty is over thirty five times earnings, and 527 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 10: those numbers, although they make us all feel happy as 528 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 10: we're riding them up, eventually the market is sort of 529 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 10: going to revert back to that mean, And those numbers 530 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 10: are somewhere between twenty and thirty percent above the historical 531 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 10: long term averages. So I think it just makes sense 532 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 10: maybe to be a little bit more barbelled as opposed 533 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 10: to all in on one trade. 534 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: So does that imply then that if you're going to 535 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: barbel at two, do you need to barbel it across 536 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: as a class? As we've seen a lot of money 537 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: contine to flow into bond ETFs, what are you noticing there? 538 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 10: Well, barbelling, for example, you could just as easily buy 539 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 10: the equal weighted version of the S and P five 540 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 10: hundred next to the cap weighted and that sort of 541 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 10: would give you that barbelle right, You'd have more exposure 542 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 10: to the bottom half of the S and P five 543 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 10: hundred and less exposure to the top half. And there's 544 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 10: an equal weighted version of the queues as well. In 545 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 10: fixed income land, I think people are mostly pretty satisfied 546 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 10: just sort of sitting in short term treasuries at five percent. 547 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 10: There's been a lot of money going into those types 548 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 10: of vehicles. I don't think on the fixed income side 549 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 10: that we're doing sort of what we've been doing on 550 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 10: the equity side, and that is we're underpricing risk. I mean, 551 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 10: spreads are fairly narrow on a historic basis, and so 552 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 10: you're not getting paid what you might normally get paid 553 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 10: to go out the credit scale, maybe to you know, 554 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 10: high grade corporates or to high yield and so I 555 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 10: think if you can just collect five percent in the 556 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 10: short run for that money that you maybe ultimately will deploy, 557 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 10: makes a little bit of sense. We're seeing some flows 558 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 10: into international and global. I think that's really just a 559 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 10: rebalancing trade. The last five years have been dominated so 560 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 10: much by large cap us that I think investors' portfolios 561 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 10: have gotten out of balance a little bit. And so 562 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 10: I think people are starting to push more money into 563 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 10: global and international. And then we've seen quite a bit 564 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 10: of money go into small cap for the same reason 565 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 10: that and that is that you know, if because of 566 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 10: this massive performance advantage of large cap us versus everything else, 567 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 10: portfolios have gotten out of whack, and I think people 568 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 10: are wise to sort of rebalance their portfolios that are 569 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 10: more in line with what a longer term objective might dictate. 570 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four is an election year. How concerned. Are 571 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 4: you about that? 572 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 7: From a I guess a stability or volatility perspective for 573 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 7: markets and maybe how to position yourself. 574 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 10: Well, you have two different agendas, right You have one 575 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 10: agenda that you know is going to be more government 576 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 10: and higher taxes theoretically, and you have another agenda that's 577 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 10: sort of less regulatory oversight and lower taxes. And I 578 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 10: think the market will be volatile between now an election day, 579 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 10: as you know, these candidate surge and fall in the polling, 580 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 10: and so it'll be interesting to see. I don't think 581 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 10: that now is the time to start really putting on 582 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 10: those election type vets into a portfolio, because there's so 583 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 10: much time between now and November. But I think as 584 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 10: we get closer to November and people start to really 585 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 10: develop a clear view of who they believe will ultimately 586 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 10: win the election, I think investors will start to position 587 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 10: portfolios accordingly. 588 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: What's the one where we let you go, what's like 589 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: a risk that no one's talking about or not a 590 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 2: lot of people are talking about that you see in 591 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 2: the market right now? 592 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 10: Well, I said what I think is the biggest risk 593 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 10: in the market, and that is that we're highly, highly 594 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 10: concentrated and this happens from time to time. It just 595 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 10: never lasts. We don't know how long this will last, 596 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 10: but it's not going to last for five years. It's 597 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 10: been almost two years worth of this massive imbalance in 598 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 10: terms of the weight in portfolios across the broad market indexes. 599 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 10: And I think that's one risk that Look, we're human beings, right, 600 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 10: and so we get ephic, and when things are going 601 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 10: well and we're making money on investments, we sort of 602 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 10: ignore some of the potential pitfalls. And so I think 603 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 10: the big risk is that we don't get as an 604 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 10: aggressive fed approach, and that we get into the third 605 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 10: quarter in the fourth quarter as those tech names are 606 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 10: sort of running uphill right. Their earnings have been growing, 607 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 10: but their forecasted earnings are supposed to be higher, and 608 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 10: if somewhere along the way and by the way, it's 609 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 10: much more difficult for them to make those increase earnings 610 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 10: numbers because of the massive size of these companies. That 611 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 10: could potentially be a risk that people are ignoring right now. 612 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 7: All right, Sean, thank you so much for joining us. 613 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 7: Really appreciated.

And that's our next guest is 629 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 7: Jared Dillion. He's the founder of The Daily Dirt NP. 630 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 7: Jared main ways to go on this thing. I think 631 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 7: for a lot of investors as they look at these 632 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 7: stock markets, they look at their four to one k 633 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 7: they're doing pretty well. But boy, there's a lot of 634 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 7: headwines out there, and for me, maybe the biggest one 635 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 7: is the concentration risk in this market. It gets me 636 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 7: nervous when I pull out those Magnificent seven that my 637 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 7: market's not doing a whole lot. 638 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 4: How do you think about that? 639 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think about it the same way as you 640 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 11: do if you look at Actually, you know, funny you mentioned. 641 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 11: I was on Twitter a couple of weeks ago and 642 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 11: somebody had posted a paragraph from an interview with Stan Druckenmiller, 643 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 11: and this was about the crash of nineteen eighty seven, 644 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 11: and Stan Druckenmiller had cited a couple of reasons why 645 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 11: he got bearish before the crash of nineteen eighty seven, 646 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 11: and one of them was the constant creation at the 647 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 11: time was the fact that the market was being led 648 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 11: by just a handful of names. And if you go 649 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 11: back in history at all these major tops, that usually 650 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 11: co occurs with the top is that you do have 651 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 11: extreme concentration, and we're certainly having that today. 652 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: So what does that then mean? I mean, just because 653 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: history doesn't always repeat at rhymes that whole thing, which 654 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: like I also roll my eyes at that too, And 655 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 2: what that looks like. No one's going to doubt that 656 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: we're in some kind of bubble, but no one knows 657 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: what the bubble winds up looking like and how it bursts, 658 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: and that puts people in a really big buying if 659 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: they're trying to make money. 660 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 11: Well, the way I look at this is that the 661 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 11: cost to protect a portfolio that looks like the S 662 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 11: and P five hundred is the lowest that it has 663 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 11: been since twenty nineteen. If you go back towards the 664 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 11: end of twenty nineteen, options became very cheap, and then 665 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 11: you had the pandemic in twenty twenty and they exploded 666 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 11: in value. You this is the cheapest that protection has 667 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 11: been in the last five years. So you know, a 668 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 11: day that I think about in particular is February twenty seventh, 669 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 11: two thousand and seven. That was the day that China 670 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 11: raised reserve requirements and the ABX dropped by ten points 671 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 11: and the VICS exploded from ten to twenty in a day. 672 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 11: Usually when you transition out of low ball regimes into 673 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 11: a high ball regimes, it is a very violent move. 674 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 7: So, Jared, we're going to be starting earnings at the 675 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 7: end of this week. We have the some of the 676 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 7: airlines and then the big banks on Friday. Is this 677 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 7: earning season a catalyst or a potential risk for this market? 678 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 6: Do you think. 679 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 11: I don't think it's much of a risk. You know, 680 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 11: it's it's funny we've gotten we've gotten a slowdown in 681 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 11: the economic data that has happened for the last month 682 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 11: or so. Really, the only strong piece of economic data 683 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 11: we've gotten in a while was last month's payroll report, 684 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 11: which came in at two hundred and seventy thousand, which 685 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 11: then was revised lower this month. J Powell last week 686 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 11: was commenting on how he's seeing disinflationary forces. I think 687 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 11: earnings are a lagging indicator, and I think that the 688 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 11: economy is slowing down, but it's I don't think it's 689 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 11: going to show up in this quarter's earnings. 690 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 2: Do you think that for investors it's going to matter 691 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 2: more how when the Fed starts cutting, what the results 692 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 2: of the presidential election are, or what earnings, particularly from 693 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 2: the AI names deliver this quarter. 694 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 11: I think the biggest factor out of the three that 695 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 11: you mentioned is the presidential election. I mean that's going 696 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 11: to determine the path for monetary policy going forward in 697 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 11: twenty twenty five, in twenty twenty six, and if if 698 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 11: Trump gets re elected in November, then I think what 699 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 11: you're going to see is probably a rate cut cycle 700 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 11: that lasts throughout twenty twenty five. You might see one 701 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 11: hundred to one hundred and fifty basis points of great cuts. 702 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 11: I think if Biden gets re elected, I think it's 703 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 11: more of the same. I think it's more of a 704 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 11: higher for longer trade. So yeah, for sure, the election 705 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 11: is going to be the biggest catalyst there. 706 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 4: Jared, what do you again? 707 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 7: We've talked about the concentration risk here and if I 708 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 7: don't know, I guess somebody wants to be brave enough 709 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 7: to try to break away from that and look to 710 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 7: other areas of the market. Do you see opportunities in 711 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 7: other areas of the market, whether it be a valuation 712 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 7: entry point or whether it's just some parts of the 713 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 7: market are just kind of mispriced. 714 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the. 715 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 11: Biggest opportunity is some kind of reversion in the style 716 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 11: box trade. If you know, we've had large cap growth 717 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 11: outperforming small cap value for the last twenty years, and 718 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 11: you know, I started my career in nineteen ninety nine 719 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 11: and that was also a time with large growth was 720 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 11: outperforming small cap value. But when small cap value turned 721 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 11: around two thousand and one or two thousand and two. 722 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 11: That was a really big move and it made the 723 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 11: careers of a lot of investors. So I think if 724 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 11: you can time that right, if you can catch that, 725 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 11: then that's a really big opportunity. 726 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like, yes, how like what are 727 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 2: the sign I mean, mister, are both of you guys 728 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 2: who've been in the market for a while, like, how 729 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 2: do you time that? Because I feel like everyone's waiting 730 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: for small caps to have their moment, slash value to 731 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 2: have their moment, and that moment. 732 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 3: Is like fleeting. 733 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 2: It's like, here's a week and then see you later. 734 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's exactly what it's been. You've had these You've 735 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 11: had these sort of blips along the way where value 736 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 11: outperforms and then it goes back to getting killed again. 737 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 11: I don't really have the answer to that, although you know, 738 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 11: I will say that the average stock in the S 739 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 11: and P five hundred is not super expensive. The median 740 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 11: stock in the SMP is about in eighteen pe, which 741 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 11: you know is pretty reasonable over time. It's really a 742 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 11: handful of stocks on the high end that have gotten 743 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 11: really expensive. 744 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 7: So Jared Alex and I were just discussing a story 745 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 7: in the Bloomberg Turmoil about how younger people are beginning 746 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 7: to trade at a much younger age. So, for example, 747 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 7: gen Z started investing when they're nineteen on average, that's 748 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 7: according to Charles Schwab. That compares to thirty two for 749 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 7: gen X and thirty five for baby boomers. So people 750 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 7: are getting into the market a lot younger. Are you 751 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 7: seeing that in your business, in your newsletter business and 752 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 7: your commentaries. 753 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 5: Well, it's funny. 754 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 11: Because in my spare time, I'm also an adjunct professor 755 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 11: at Coastal Carolina University, and I teach these young people, 756 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 11: and I would say that jibes with my experience. I've 757 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 11: you know, in my last class, I would say about 758 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 11: forty to fifty percent of the class had brokerage accounts. 759 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 11: They had no idea what they were doing. I mean, 760 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 11: they were just screwing around, but they but they and 761 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 11: a lot of them tradeto by the way. Yeah, so 762 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 11: it's a mixture of crypto and in video and stuff 763 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 11: like that. But yeah, they are starting at a younger age. 764 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 2: Is this like a good thing or a bad thing? 765 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 2: We were debating this earlier, Like, I mean, it's a 766 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: good way to lose money, but isn't it also good 767 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 2: to kind of make money and be and take control 768 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: of your finances. Like, what do you think about that? 769 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 11: Well, I think it's a I think it's a good thing. 770 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 11: But I don't think anybody's taking control over their finances. 771 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 11: I think what they're doing is learning. I think they're 772 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 11: learning how to invest, and they're making mistakes in early 773 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 11: age when they can afford to make mistakes. If they 774 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 11: lose eight hundred bucks on video or some crypto token, 775 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 11: there really are no consequences. The consequences are if you 776 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 11: start investing later and you're investing real money and you 777 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 11: make mistakes, then then that's that's hard to reverse. 778 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 4: All right, Jared, thanks so much for joining us. Jared Dillon. 779 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 7: He's the founder of the Daily Dirt nep, a financial 780 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 7: column and or money letter that goes out. 781 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 4: It's been doing that for quite some time. 782 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast. Catch us live 783 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 1: weekdays at ten am Eastern on applecar Play and Android 784 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. You can also listen 785 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station, 786 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty. 787 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 2: We take it to Bloomberg n EF that research is 788 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 2: also awesome. They cover commodities, power, transport, industry, buildings, AG 789 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 2: sectors as well as cost cutting technologies and sustainability issues 790 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 2: and the goal is to help business, finance, and governments 791 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 2: navigate the change as we move towards a green future. 792 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 2: Speaking of let's go to green. Martin Tangler is head 793 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: of green Hydrogen over at Bloomberg and EF and he 794 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: joins us. Now, Martin, I'm just asking for Paul, what's 795 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 2: green hydrogen? 796 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 8: So just to give you a correction, I'm the head 797 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 8: of hydrogen research, not just green hydrogen. 798 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 2: Okay, good to know. 799 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 6: We like that. 800 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 8: Green hydrogen is one way of producing hydrogen via electrolysis. 801 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 8: So that's splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using green electricity. 802 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 8: So that's what green hydroen is. 803 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 7: So explain to us where this technology green hydrogen? Where 804 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 7: are we in terms of the development of this technology. 805 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is a really. 806 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 8: It's an old technology. At its core, we've used it 807 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 8: for more than one hundred years. We've done electrolysis of 808 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 8: breaking up water molecules into hydrogen oxygen. What's new though, 809 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 8: is that this time we want to use green electricity 810 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 8: in order to reduce the emissions from the production of 811 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 8: what's called gray hydrogen. Gray hydrogen being hydrogen made from 812 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 8: fossil fuels without any capturing of the resulting CO two, 813 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 8: which is how we might make the vast majority of 814 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 8: the hydrogen today, and many countries, many governments have been 815 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 8: incentive devising the production of green and sometimes also so 816 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 8: called blue hydrogen that's gray with carbon capture and storage 817 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 8: attached to that, so that we can decarbonize a deproduction 818 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 8: of the gray hydrogen that we already produced today one 819 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 8: hundred million tons. It's a lot of hydrogen we make, 820 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 8: and also to use hydrogen in some other sectors to 821 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 8: decarbonize things like steel production, for example, or shipping where 822 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 8: it's really hard to do electrification. 823 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: Why do we want hydrogen? It is very expensive to split. 824 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: It is more expensive if you are going to split 825 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 2: a hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy. 826 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 3: So why do we want it? 827 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 2: What's the end product? So awesome? 828 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, So we want it, as I've said, in order 829 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 8: to reduce emissions. That's the only reason honestly. Today, making 830 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 8: green hydrogen, as you said, Alex, is more expensive than 831 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 8: making gray hydrogen, and in turn making gray hydrogen is 832 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 8: more expensive than using fossil fuels because hydrogen is made 833 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 8: gray hydrogen is made from those fossil fuels. So we 834 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 8: only use hydrogen in sectors where it is required for 835 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 8: the chemical properties of it today, So that's production of fertilizers, 836 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 8: things like ammonia NH three. You cannot make NH three 837 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 8: without putting H in there. 838 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 6: Right. 839 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 8: Same goes for all refining. You need hydrogen and for 840 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 8: future as I've said, we're going to need it for 841 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 8: sectors that are going to be really hard to decarbonize 842 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 8: using electrification. For example, it's really hard to run a 843 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 8: ship that runs across half the world on batteries. You 844 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 8: just don't have enough batteries. Batteries are too heavy, they 845 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 8: take up too much space. We need something denser, and 846 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 8: one way we could do that, for example, is to 847 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 8: combine hydrogen and nitrogen into ammonia, or hydrogen carbon and 848 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,399 Speaker 8: oxygen into methanol and use those to power the ship 849 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 8: instead as a more energy dense fuel. 850 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 7: Martin Which countries or which parts of the world are 851 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 7: leading in this green hydrogen move. 852 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 8: This is a really hard one to say. If you 853 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 8: asked people five years ago, they tell you, it's totally 854 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 8: Japan that's leading. Japan is the first country that had 855 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 8: a hydrogen strategy way back when in twenty fourteen, when 856 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 8: nobody has even thought about hygien to the extent that 857 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 8: many people are today. But now you could say the 858 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 8: real leaders are the US and European Union and its 859 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 8: member states. In the US, as you're probably aware, the 860 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 8: Inflation Reduction Act was passed back in August twenty twenty two. 861 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 8: There were some pretty generous tax credits for the production 862 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 8: of green and blue hydrogen, and we're seeing especially the 863 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 8: blue hygiene projects in the US now coming through because 864 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 8: the economics could actually work out on green. It's a 865 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 8: bit more difficult because companies are still waiting on guidance 866 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 8: as to the rules under which they could claim these credits. 867 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 8: In Europe, there's a lot of excitement. Europe is the 868 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 8: one place since probably the most sincere desire to decarbonize 869 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 8: and the strongest policies to do that. We have carbon prices, 870 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 8: mandates to use hydrogen. There's very few other places where 871 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 8: you have actual mandates that require use of hydrogen for 872 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 8: for example, shipping or aviation. That's what we're seeing in Europe. 873 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 2: They have a question that I keep hearing about is 874 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 2: you know, the IRA, for example, did a great job 875 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 2: in incentivizing production of it, helping bring down the cost. 876 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 2: But where it looks like things are falling short is 877 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 2: the demand side. So despite those subsidies, the buyer and 878 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 2: the seller costs for hydrogen is still very far apart, 879 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 2: and that's creating a difficulty in securing that demand. Where 880 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 2: is that gap right now? And how do you see 881 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 2: that evolving? 882 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's actually the key issue, Alex. You really hit 883 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 8: the nail on the head. There's so many projects out there, 884 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 8: and we have a database for that at BNF, So 885 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 8: for those of you who have access, definitely do come 886 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 8: and check it out if you haven't already. We have 887 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 8: a database of production projects. So that's all the projects 888 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 8: or all the companies with all their projects that would 889 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 8: want to produce hydrogen. And we're talking tens of millions 890 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 8: of tons, sixty million tons by twenty thirty, So that's 891 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 8: compared to hundred that we already make today with the 892 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 8: gray hygroens. It's a vast, vast increase that we could 893 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 8: see if only there was actually someone who would kindly 894 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 8: want to buy that green hydrogen or that blue hydrogen, 895 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 8: and why don't they want to buy it because it's expensive, 896 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 8: like I've said at the beginning, and what's needed to 897 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 8: bridge that well. First, ideally the cost of renewables should 898 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 8: come down, and they will be coming down, as benf 899 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 8: keeps writing, that's great, because the key input into the 900 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 8: production of green hydrogen is the cost of green electricity. 901 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 8: Then we need to see the cost of electrolyzers, so 902 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 8: that's the machines that split the water into oxygen and hydrogen. 903 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 8: They'd need to get cheaper. That's going to happen, but 904 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 8: so far we've seen the opposite. The costs have actually 905 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,959 Speaker 8: gone up. The supply chain issues with hydrogen with electrolyizers 906 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,240 Speaker 8: have been quite challenging. And finally we need to see policy, 907 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 8: and we see a lot of policy on the supply side. 908 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 8: So the US, for example, forty five v forty five 909 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 8: q credits for the from the IRA for the production 910 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 8: of green or blue hydrogen. That's great, but that's probably 911 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 8: not enough, maybe enough for blue, but not enough for 912 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 8: green to want somebody to buy it. So that's where 913 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 8: the European Union comes in with things like quote as 914 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 8: mandates that a certain sector must use a certain amount 915 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 8: of hydrogen by a certain date. And that's a pretty 916 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 8: crude way of enforcing hydrogen demand. And there's many, many 917 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 8: pros and cons of that, but that's one way to 918 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 8: get it done. 919 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 4: All right, Martin, thank you so much for joining us. 920 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 7: Martin Tangler, head of hydrogen Research at DNEPP. 921 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast, available on apples, Spotify, 922 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
