Most are at 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: the hyst in more than fifteen years. Meanwhile, just about 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: everyone is convinced that at least a mild recession is 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: on the horizon. So what on earth are you supposed 11 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: to do with your money at a time like this. 12 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: We'll get into it with the chief market strategist of 13 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: a major investment company, But first, fill Donna, just get 14 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: it out of your system.

So get it out of your system. 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: Go ahead. I'm not going to gloat. I'm a very 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: superstitious person, so I need good karma, so no gloating 20 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: on on my end. However, Josh Allen is a superhuman. 21 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: Did you watch the game? He's pretty good? Yeah, I watched. 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: I watched most of it. I uh, did you see 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: him jump over that man? He jumped over a man? 24 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: Who does that? He jumped like eight feet into the 25 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: air that I can barely jump over a small child. 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: How a woman who grew up where you grew up 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: is not an Eagles fan or at least a Giants 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: are Jets fan? I would I would even allow Giants 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: or Jets. No, your tongue not giants, No, no, no, yeah, 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: no Eagles. I'm with you on the Eagles, definitely. Uh. 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: And I'm rooting for them. I'm happy that they're doing well. 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: But the Bills are so fun to watch. Was your 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: husband lured you into the Bills name? Yeah he's from Buffalo, Yeah, 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: he's from Well you're you're a good wife. My wife 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: is an Eagles fan too. There's no way I could 36 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: have lured her away from the Eagles of fire. I 37 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: have an Eagles jersey. Of all the games I've been 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: to in my life, the majority of them were Eagles games. 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: All Right, there you go, I'll give you that. How 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: many folding tables are left in your apartment right now. Oh. None, none, 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: They've all been broken through. They've all been broken by 42 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: Bills fans. Yeah, Wills fans has set themselves on fire 43 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: and then jumped through tables as as one does. Yes, 44 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: we have a guest here with us. We should bring 45 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: her in. Christina, who per chief Global Market Strategy, said Investco, 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us, Thank you for 47 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: having me. Christina might be a Jets or a Giants fan, 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: but well we'll leave that for another coming. All right, 49 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: spell the beans, Christina, who's your team? The next, the next, 50 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: the nick It's like it's like um poo petually being 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: in the seventh circle of hell. That's good. I didn't 52 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: want to say anything. I didn't want to say anything. 53 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: But you definitely develop an important skill, uh, in terms 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: of patience and persistence and and constant optimism, or else 55 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: you would just exactly else, you would just lose your mind. 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: That's a buy and hold franchise, I guess for sure. 57 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: But Christina, markets have been very interesting in the last 58 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: couple of days, and I was hoping to just start 59 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: out with you're talking about what it's been like to 60 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: be a part of this market, to be watching this 61 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: market and everything that we've seen going on where we 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: have these you know, stretches of days where it's up 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: two percent, down two down. It's just very volatile. It's 64 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: incredibly volatile, and yet in a way it makes sense 65 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: given that we have this one key driver of markets 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: this year, and it's been the FED and really the 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: just dramatically shifting expectations around what the Fed is going 68 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: to do. The FED has even surprised itself. You know, 69 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: if we look at the dot plot from December of one, 70 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: they thought they'd be at ninety basis points at the 71 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: end of two. Now they think as of the September 72 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: dot plot they'll be at four forty basis points. That 73 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: to me is monetary policy whiplash. And those kinds of 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: surprises are are why we see the volatility, not just 75 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: in stocks, but in bonds. You know, Christine, I know 76 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people were hoping that at least we 77 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: get some diversion from the FED focused during earning season, 78 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: and it seemed like, you know, the first couple of 79 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: earlier reporters, uh really sort of reignited some of the 80 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: bullish instincts in the market, and that's why we saw 81 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: some some really big gains. What are you looking out 82 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: for an earning season? Uh? What have you learned so far? Um? 83 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: You know, is there enough meat on the bone and 84 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: earnings to to maybe overpower that fed uh fixation in 85 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: the market. Great questions, so, and great questions. So let 86 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: me start at the beginning. What I've learned so far? Um? 87 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: First of all, it has been you know, fairly focused 88 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: on financials thus far. UM. What we've learned is that 89 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: consumers and businesses are in pretty good shape. Right. We've 90 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 1: heard that from multiple bank uh CEO s is that 91 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: that the consumers in good shape, businesses are in good 92 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: shape UM. And and that certainly is a positive in 93 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: terms of being able to weather economic headwinds, but it 94 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: is a negative in that the FED doesn't seem to 95 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: have cool demand very much. UM. We also know financial 96 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: conditions are tightening. We're hearing that, we're seeing it in 97 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: the data bank banks are providing in terms of, you know, 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: the average FICO score for people they're giving mortgages to. UM. 99 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: So fundamentals are are solid, um. But but clearly lenders 100 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: are becoming increasingly discerning UM, which is what the FED 101 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: wants to see. And we've also heard from a few 102 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: airlines UM, one major airline saying that that the summer 103 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: was very strong and they don't think that the demand 104 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: for travel that thirst has been quenched yet. UM. So 105 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: So you know, as I as I process the earnings reports, 106 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'm beyond just the earnings results, which have been 107 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: relatively positive. You know, my takeaways are that the FED 108 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily achieved UM what it wants to uh yet 109 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: and so we could be in store for for a 110 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: fair number more rate hikes UM given this environment, Christina 111 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: and I ask you, we used to think about the 112 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: earning season as as a stretch of time that will 113 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: give us clarity on things that are going on. Can 114 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: we make that same case this time around? Or is 115 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: it so much that there's so much uncertainty with the FED, 116 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: the macrol look, etcetera, that the earning season really even 117 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: can't be giving us as much clarity as you might 118 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: have in the past. I think that's true to a 119 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: certain extent. I mean, let's think about it. You know, 120 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: earning season and j general UM is backward looking. What 121 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: we can glean about the future comes from UM. What 122 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: is shared on the earnings calls um to the extent 123 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: that management teams are willing to provide an outlook, and 124 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: I think it is UM far less clear because they 125 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: don't know where the FED funds rate is going to 126 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: go from here, and they really don't know how much 127 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: damage has been done thus far, because it takes some 128 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: time UM for that to actually make its way into 129 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: the main street economy and and show up in data 130 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: and certainly show up in their results. So I think 131 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: the question remains, you know, when is that other shoe 132 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: going to drop? Visa V earnings? Now, for some industries 133 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: it could very well drop this quarter, but but for 134 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: others it might not be this quarter, It might be 135 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: next or beyond. So what do you think we need 136 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: to see to get uh either not necessarily even a 137 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: full pivot from the Fed. I think you know, a 138 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: lot of people would be happy with just sort of 139 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: a go back to a fifth year basis point at 140 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: rate hike. But what what really where do you need 141 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: to see that inflation start to cool off? I'm guessing 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: is it the shelter and rent costs? Is that the 143 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 1: Is that the main issue that's still front and center 144 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: for them? Do you think, well, I think that's certainly 145 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: one key issue for them, but beyond that, I mean, 146 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: what we're seeing is a labor market that remains very tight, 147 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: and so that's showing up on the services side of 148 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: the economy, UM, that's showing up in in the wage 149 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: growth we've seen thus far. So you know, the FED, 150 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: I think, is looking at the economy through a Phillips 151 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: curve lens, and it believes it needs to achieve a 152 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: certain level of unemployment in order to see inflation moderate UM. 153 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: I would argue that doesn't have to be the case, though, 154 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: given this unique market environment where we have just such 155 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: a high level of job openings. Even after the last 156 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: Jolts report, we still have more job openings than there 157 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: are people to fill them. And so if we were 158 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: to see a major slashing of job openings, that reduces 159 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: labor mobility. Uh and and so that goal of of 160 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: moderating wage growth UM could potentially be achieved without having 161 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: very significant layoffs, without having a very substantial increase in unemployment. 162 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: So can you talk about what you foresee from the 163 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: Fed in the coming months, because we have the FED 164 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: minutes come out, but recently it was just last week, 165 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: and then also we had a report from Bloomberg, where 166 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: one of my colleagues actually looked through the minutes and 167 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: found I guess it was some detail that others hadn't noticed, 168 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: saying that FED officials were worried that the that we 169 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: were coming off of an extremely hot economy and that 170 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: that means that potentially they would be tightening for more 171 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: aggressively or for for longer than previously thought. So what 172 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: are you expecting from the Fed? Well, certainly the most 173 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: recent fo MC minutes, UM, we're not dubvish by any 174 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination. I think people held, you know, 175 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: people um anchored to that statement about a few participants 176 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: worrying that um, they were moving too quickly, they'd need 177 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: to calibrate because of of the delayed impact on the economy. 178 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: But in general, I think what the FED is telling 179 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: us is that inflation is not just job number one, 180 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: it's job number one, number two, number three, UM, and 181 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: that dual mandate really that that other part of the 182 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: dual mandate is is really getting going being put on 183 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the back burner, um on the way way back burner, 184 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: as if focuses on inflation. So that says to me 185 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: that the FED will definitely high rates seventy five basis 186 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: points in November, UM, and I think seventy five basis 187 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: points is on the table for December as well. I 188 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: think that's a very real um uh likelihood, especially given 189 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: you know some of the recent statements we've gotten UM 190 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: arguing that UH that you know, the FED wants to 191 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: front load rate hikes like the Bank of Canada. Well, 192 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: you know, I thought we were like in the sixth 193 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: or seventh inning when it comes to rate hikes. So 194 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: to hear they're still talking about front loading UM causes 195 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: a little concern and does raise questions about when when 196 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: this finally comes to an end or even just eases somewhat. 197 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: You know, Christina, you mentioned the notion of the Fed 198 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: uh tightening until it breaks something, And it seems like 199 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: at the moment it's pretty close to a consensus that 200 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: the US is going to slide into at least a 201 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: shallow recession next year. UM. But I also look at 202 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: the market. You know, SMP five down as much as 203 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: and change percent from its high nas Doock index is 204 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: down even more in the thirties of percentages. With everybody 205 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: bracing for this recession, I mean, are we in one 206 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: of these crazy scenarios where the market is so far 207 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: ahead of the economy that it's it's mostly all been 208 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: priced in or almost all priced in. And if we 209 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: do get that slow down, that, uh you know, we'll 210 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: see that sort of contrarian instinct kick in and we'll 211 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: get a rally in the equity market. You think it's 212 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: the worst priced in? Do you think? I don't think 213 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: it's all priced in, but I do think some is 214 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: priced in. I mean, what we've seen this year is 215 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: a multiple contraction. I'm driven by the rise in the 216 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: ten year yield um? But has you know, has earnings 217 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: disappointment been fully priced in? Probably not, because we don't 218 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: know the extent of the impact earnings, because we don't 219 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: know the path of rate hikes from here. Uh So 220 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: I think that there's that level of uncertainty that that 221 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: makes it hard to price in. And uh to me, 222 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: I think there's the potential for another leg down. Are 223 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: we going to go down as as much as we 224 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: have of thus far? No? I highly doubt that, UM, 225 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: but I do think we could see another five to 226 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: seven percent drop too before we get to the point 227 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: UM where it's priced in and and where we're ready 228 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: to perhaps begin a bowl market, um that is anticipating 229 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: in economic recovery. And why has it been so difficult 230 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: to price things into the market this year? Is it 231 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: just because we have this discrepancy between what's going on 232 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: with the labor market and what's happening with inflation in 233 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: the Fed. Yeah, in a word, it's it's uh, seventy 234 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: is the new twenty five. When you're raising rates in 235 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: seventy five bases point increments UM, and you're not giving 236 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: any time to for it to process through and make 237 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: its way through the day into the data. UM, you're 238 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: playing a dangerous game. And the more you're doing it, um, 239 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: the more likelihood uh you create of having a recession 240 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: and a significant recession. So I think that is is 241 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: what's behind us. I think there's a lot of uncertainty 242 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: and and and as you point out, there's uncertainty around 243 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: inflation and where that goes from here. It's been stubbornly high. Christina. 244 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: You know when you say seventy five is the new careful, 245 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: you're setting Villdon off for a joke about my age. 246 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: You know, I can't say anything. Yeah, yeah, right, of course, Christina. 247 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: You know, Investco's a huge company, famous for a lot 248 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: of things, a lot of different investment strategies. UM. But 249 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: I think if you do like a name association with 250 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people, they'll go right to the q 251 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: q Q, you know, the Nasdaq one hundred, uh et F. 252 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of people that I've 253 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: talked to, I've always gotten the sense that once we 254 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: got through the other side of the pandemic, when interest 255 00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: rates normalize, growth normalizes, and and life becomes more or 256 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: like it was pre pandemic, that we once again see 257 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: that instinct to buy big growth tech uh. You know, 258 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: really the main companies in the in the q q 259 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: Q E t F. Is that still a real realistic 260 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: assumption or anticipation, I mean, is are we going to 261 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: revert back to where the big tech stocks are the 262 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: stars of the show or are we just in a 263 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: whole new paradigm now for the time being or for 264 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. Well, I certainly think that that, Uh, 265 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: it's likely we revert back to to tech performing better 266 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: um than the cyclical side of the stock market in 267 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: the near term. I mean, tech has been beaten down 268 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: as it traditionally has been by rising rates UM. But 269 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: once we get through a period of time and adjustment. UM. 270 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Usually tech then then starts to perform significantly better. Um. 271 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: It's part of what investors now you as as the 272 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: defensive part of the stock market. And and so I 273 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: think there's there's certainly going to be a real interest 274 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't go away. Also just for the longer term, 275 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: tech is a big part of innovation, it's a big 276 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: driver of of where the economy goes from here. Uh So, 277 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: so I think it's going to continue to be a 278 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: significant portion of most investors portfolios. And as you meant, 279 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: as Mike mentioned, you, you guys have this huge suite 280 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: of ETF products, And I'm wondering if you are also 281 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: tracking what the retail investor is doing, because you know 282 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: retail investors, they tend to favory tfs a lot. But 283 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: what is the retail cohort doing at the moment, Because 284 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: I've seen some notes recently and some interesting research that's 285 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: showing that they're selling into any rally really recently, whereas 286 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: earlier in the year maybe they were buying the dip 287 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: because they had been sort of conditioned to do that 288 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: over the last two years. So how important or what 289 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: role is the retail investor playing in this market. Well, 290 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: if we were to look at UM the AII sentiment surveys, 291 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: that certainly shows a very barish level of sentiment among 292 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: retail investors. But I think that's the kind of thing 293 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: you need, UM to help form a market bottom UM. 294 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: It can be a pretty temporary phenomenon, and unfortunately, I 295 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: think some retail investors hurt themselves by doing that. In fact, 296 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: I'd argue perhaps the biggest mistake made in the global 297 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: financial crisis or those investors, and it wasn't just retail, 298 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: it was also institutional that cashed out at or near 299 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: the bottom UM and then locked in their losses and 300 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: weren't able to participate in in a recovery. Uh So, 301 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: So certainly there's some of that going on, but hopefully 302 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: more investors are thinking long term. Hopefully UM. You know, 303 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: a lot of of the education that we've done has 304 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: had an impact in terms of having you know, well 305 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: diversified portfolio UM both across and within the three major 306 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: asset classes, and also thinking long term. Because as much 307 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: as this is a difficult market environment and it's painful 308 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: to read the headlines and look at the statements, UM, 309 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: it is still very much a temporary UM market environment, 310 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: and for many that have ten and twenty year time horizons, UM, 311 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: they hurt themselves by um becoming panicked or letting emotions 312 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: take over right now. And uh, Christine, I know you 313 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: have a global focus, So I'm gonna land the plane 314 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: next in Beijing, China. The Party Congress is going on 315 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: this week week. UM. I don't think any major surprises, 316 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: but it's become pretty clear that their COVID zero policies 317 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: are not going anywhere anytime soon, at least won't be 318 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: relaxed anytime soon. How are you thinking about China and 319 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: its place in global markets these days? Um? On the 320 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: one hand, uh, COVID zero is sort of restraining growth 321 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: there and possibly uh still snarling supply chains to some 322 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: to three. On the other hand, Uh, you know that's 323 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: at least one source of the world where it's not 324 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: necessarily an inflationary situation. I mean, maybe it is with 325 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: the supply chains. But help us sort out how to 326 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: think about China where it goes from here and sort 327 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: of what the dynamics with the rest of the global 328 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: markets will be. Well, actually not differently than what we 329 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: saw on the global financial crisis. China is in a 330 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: very different place than Western developed economies UM, which makes 331 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: a wonderful case for diversification of portfolios right UM. What 332 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: we're seeing in China is a central bank that has 333 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: actually eased monetary policy this year as opposed to tightening dramatically. UM. 334 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: We're seeing some some fiscal stimulus that is significant. And 335 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: so China is in a very different place than than 336 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Western economies. So yes, UH, COVID lockdowns could potentially be 337 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: a headwind depending upon what what happens in term of 338 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: future waves of COVID UM. But for the most part, 339 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: China is ahead in terms of UM when it's likely 340 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: to begin recovering, and in fact, I think we're seeing 341 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: signs of recovery now UM. And that's why if you 342 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: look at, for example, the I M f S projections 343 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: that they put out last week in terms of growth 344 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: expectations for three UM, for a lot of major economies, 345 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: the anticipate growth to be lower next year than this year. 346 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: That's not the case for China. Their expectation is is 347 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: significantly higher growth next year UM. So and I think 348 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense just given UM the 349 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 1: positives that are going on um in in the Chinese economy. 350 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: Can you talk more about what your view is on 351 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: on the possibility of us seeing a global recession. I 352 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: think you had asked in one of your recent notes 353 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: if a global recession is coming, Well, it is very, 354 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: very possible, just given that we have so many central 355 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: banks raising rates all at the same time. In fact, 356 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: we heard from the World Bank last month and issuing 357 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: a very stark warning about how Um, this is the 358 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: first time in five decades we've seen this level of 359 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: synchronicity in terms of tightening. And you don't have to 360 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: play that police song in the background while I talk 361 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: about this. But um, but you know it is Uh. 362 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: It does increase the odds of a global recession, so 363 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: we have to be um vigilant about it. Um. Uh. 364 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: You know, at this point, I think that there is 365 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: still the potential for us to avoid that, um, if 366 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: central banks were to pivot soon. We just don't know 367 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: if they're going to pivot soon. Um. That is is 368 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: the big question on everyone's mind right now. But every 369 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: day that goes by that we continue to be as 370 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: hawkish as we see the kind of tightening we see. 371 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: I think it increases the odds of a global recession 372 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: next year. Well, I applaud your chase taste in music. 373 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna I've got policed in my head. I'm 374 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: gonna have to go go do a deep dive on 375 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: the Synchronicity album. Later we'll boil it down to was 376 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: Christina with. Given everything we've talked about, what's what's the 377 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: Hooper sort of recommended portfolio look like these days for 378 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: for sort of your average investor with you know, a 379 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: longer time horizon. Well, it doesn't look that different, and 380 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: it shouldn't look that different than they prescribed portfolio the 381 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: Hooper portfolio from two thousand nineteen or two thousand sixteen 382 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: or quite frankly two thousand ten, you know. And again, 383 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: of course it depends upon the time horizon for an 384 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: individual investor. But but you know, a good rule of 385 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: thumb is, you know, a fifty five thirty fifteen type 386 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: of portfolio where you have significant exposure to equities and 387 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: not just within the US, global equities and some dividend 388 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: paying equities um uh, and a very diversified fixed income 389 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: portfolio um I. You know, tactically I might over emphasize 390 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: the investment grade and government, right now and then of 391 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: course alts UM reads in their infrastructure crypto. That's a 392 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: great question. Um, you know I I what I encourage 393 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: is I say, you know, you all have to do 394 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: your homework on crypto. And I've told my kids this 395 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: as well as UM. You know, when I talk to 396 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: investors and know there's a lot of interest in it. 397 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of differences among the different cryptocurrencies. 398 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: Some might work for some investors portfolios, but others might 399 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: do enough research and say this isn't for me. Um, 400 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: But I think certainly be open to it and and 401 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: do enough research to know whether or not it fits 402 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: with your risk reward profile. Do your homework. The you 403 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: probably love to win homework, didn't I love doing homework? Yeah? Yeah, 404 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm taking French classes now. And at the end when 405 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: she doesn't sign homework, I'm like, do you have extra 406 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: stuff we can possibly? Were you a teacher's pad too? 407 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: I want to learn? Hello? Well, all right, here's a 408 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: little bit of a curveball addition to that question, Christina. 409 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: If I'm theoretically an investor who's sitting all in cash 410 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: right now, enjoying these juicy buney market yields, that are 411 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: finally you know something that doesn't round a zero? Does 412 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: Does that advice still stand? Well, what I would say 413 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: is you don't want to go all in, you want 414 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: a dollar cost average back in. But starting now makes 415 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I mean we've already seen a 416 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: very very significant adjustment and markets, I mean fixed income levels, 417 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, fixed income yield levels are pretty attractive right now. 418 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: So that's not to say we aren't going to see 419 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: more volatility. Um, it's not to say that we might 420 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: not see a leg down for the stock market, as 421 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: I said, as rates go up. But we can never, 422 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: as humans precise sleep pinpoint when to enter the market. Um, 423 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: that's just very very hard to do. So I think 424 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: dollar cost averaging in makes a lot of sense in 425 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: this environment where um, we've certainly seen significant losses this 426 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: year and and valuations are more attractive. Well, Christina Hooper, 427 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Chief Global Markets, try to just at invest go We 428 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: really appreciate it. If you know, if you have some 429 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: homework you can give Vodanna maybe a worksheet. We're signment. 430 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know a book. Do you want to start 431 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: a book club? I actually much more interested in a 432 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: movie club. I find just too much of a commitment 433 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: to read, but I can easily watch a movie and 434 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: then talk to you about I just don't want Mike 435 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: to be part of this club. Ldona will read the 436 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: book and you can watch the movie. I think that 437 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: a hybrid like breakfast, like breakfast at Tiffany's in that 438 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: famous Seinfeld episode. That's great, But we cannot let you 439 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: leave quite just yet, because we have a tradition on 440 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: this show. So I may call it a gimmick. I 441 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,719 Speaker 1: prefer tradition where no guest is allowed to leave before 442 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: they share the craziest thing they've seen in markets this week. 443 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: You start us off FELDA, Okay, mine is Halloween fall, 444 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: pumpkin um Thanksgiving is related? I suppose, okay, it is. 445 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: But I wanted to I really wanted to use this 446 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: one just so I can take the opportunity to say 447 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: that all the reporters on the Cross Acid team are 448 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: getting together to carve pumpkins. But I didn't invite I 449 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: didn't invite you, so and I'm not extending the invite. 450 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: That's that's how it tends to go. You're not invited. 451 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: So anyway, so cold so pumpkins, spice foods, cost A 452 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty more than regular versions of things. Did 453 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: you see this story? This is crazy. It's called they're 454 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: calling it. I saw this on CBS News. They're calling 455 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: it the pumpkin spice tax. So it's in everything, Latte's, croissants, Hummus, which, 456 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: by the way, pump can Pummics that's pumpkin spice. Pumics 457 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: doesn't sung good dog treats, etcetera, etcetera. So basically, just 458 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: if anybody is has you know, if any one of 459 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: these companies has a pumpkin spiced version of a product, 460 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: they can just up charge you for it. And we 461 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: all love pumpkin spice so much we just go and 462 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: pay it. Is are there like pumpkins supply chain issues 463 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: or is it just no? I think it's taking advantage 464 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: of taking advantage. Yeah, I mean a pumpkin pumpkin spice 465 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: latte at Starbucks. I'm pretty sure it's like thirty six 466 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: dollars right now. Yeah, and it tastes a hundred and 467 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: sixty worse than the than the regular one. Yes, I don't. 468 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: I don't get this at all. Oh I like that stuff, buddy, 469 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: I'll go with Yeah, support you hear you give me good. 470 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm bad. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'm not a 471 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: big pumpkin guy. I like, this is why a lot invited, 472 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: you're not. I love the carve though, and I'm so 473 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: hurt that I cannot join you carving pump pumpkins. Uh, Christina, 474 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: how about you. What's the craziest thing you've seen? And 475 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: you'll invite me pumpkin carving. I assume I don't carve pumpkins. 476 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: So just so you know, you can talk to my kids. 477 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: They'll tell you I am the worst mother ever. I 478 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: do the bare minimum and that includes never having carved 479 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: pumpkins with them. So my apologies to my kids. I'm 480 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: so sorry. So no pumpkin carving for you. The no 481 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: pumpkin carving. We can watch a movie about pumpkin carving 482 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: if you want to, though, I'm just out of luck. 483 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: Christine is all about the movies, you know. Again, there's 484 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: very little commitment with a movie, you know, very passive. 485 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: You can even do your work while you're watching it. 486 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: You know, I need to make a movie about the 487 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: next for you. That would a Spike Lee movie about 488 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: the next that would actually, I'll give you a great 489 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: Halloween movie that my son and I watched last week 490 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: What We Do in the Shadows, one of the funniest 491 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: movies I've ever seen, vampires having to live in ordinary 492 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: life flatting in New Zealand, not the TV show, TV show. 493 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: This is much funnier than the movie. Okay, so, but onto, 494 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: I was actually very Rarius felt down. I had such 495 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: a light like nice just because I wanted to bring 496 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: up the pumpkin carving. I love it, well, I I 497 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: just I just focused on inflation expectations because it's a 498 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: head scratcher. Longer term inflation expectations over the last few 499 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: months have UM gone down. It's been nice to see 500 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: that movement down. And then UM within the last week 501 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: week and a half, UM, we saw an uptick in 502 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: both the Michigan survey of longer term inflation expectations as 503 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: well as the New York FETE. If that trend work continue, 504 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: that would be UM concerning. It is a surprise, just 505 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: given that we're already sighting starting to see the air 506 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: taken out of the sales of the economy. UM, but 507 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: that is not how consumers see it right now. And 508 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, five years ahead, three years ahead, UM, 509 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: the measure has gone up since since the previous reading. 510 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: Are they those the two best expectation readings? Do you 511 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: think to keep an eye on? You know, I think 512 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: it's sort of I don't if it's surprised people, but 513 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: it's certainly many people noted it. When it was office 514 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: Pal or someone else on the FED really started talking 515 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: about the Michigan survey. Um uh, that that was That 516 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: was actually what tipped him over the edge. That in 517 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: the c p I print. If you remember, back in June, 518 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: they were messaging fifty basis points and then they got 519 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: a hot c p I and a hot inflation expectations 520 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: from Michigan, and within a few days they had the 521 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: f o MC meeting and they decided for seventy bas 522 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: points instead of fifty. So you're absolutely right they pay 523 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: attention to it. I think consumer surveys are far more 524 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: important to them than market based measures of inflation expectations. Yeah. Well, 525 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: as a big ten fan, I think they're giving way 526 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: too much credit to the University of Michigan. That's all 527 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to say about that. Tell me what the 528 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: Michigan state inflation anyway, that's that's neither here nor there. 529 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: That's a good market joke. Really, yeah, you're you're actually 530 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: giving me credit for that one. Yeah, we should tweet it. 531 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: You can tell let you tweet that one. Okay, question 532 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: for both of you. How many iPhones do you think 533 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: the two of you have each owned in your lifetimes. 534 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: I've probably had three or four. I go very I've 535 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: had mine still has the little push button. I go 536 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: a very long time before I get serious button. Yes, 537 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: number is that what I phone? Seven or eight or 538 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: something something. Yeah, it's it's doubled. Basically, the numbers have 539 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: doubled since the last time I got one. It's like 540 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: on fourteen. Now. Yeah, how about you, Christie? Kids and family? 541 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: How many? How many do you think you've gone through? Oh? 542 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: In our family, I have three kids and a husband, 543 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: so I mean in the same I'm in the same boat. 544 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: So in total, we've probably owned. Especially my daughter and 545 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: she dropped It's an embarrassing story, but my she was 546 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: making my son take photographs of her, and she was 547 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: telling him to get closer. She was in her swimsuit, 548 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: and he dropped the phone in the pool. So that 549 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: was one right there. Um. And and by the way, 550 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: you have to race to get to that dryer to 551 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: try to dry it. It still doesn't work. Familiar and 552 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: oh god, you know, we tried everything. So I want 553 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: to say like, wow, yeah, yeah, I'm up there. So 554 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna get you know, with three kids, probably 555 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: fifteen at least anyway, but no one cares for them. 556 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: If you're paying for it, you care for it a 557 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: lot more than when you're a kid and your parent 558 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: cares for it. I've got mine in like an otter 559 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: box case, like nothing's ever happened to it. They all 560 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: walk around with crack screens. They couldn't care less, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, 561 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: Well here's a crazy story for you. The iPhone one. 562 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: Did you ever any iPhone ones in your house? But 563 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna say. It just auction for 564 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: a lot of money or or something, and it's but 565 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: it was completely wrapped in its package and untouched. All right, 566 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: all right, spoiler a little a little bit of really sorry. 567 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: I apologize that was bad. I'm so sorry you ruined. 568 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what came over me. So I think 569 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: we know who's gonna win. The prices precise this week, 570 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: because yes, a buyer pur purchased the first edition of 571 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: the iPhone sold by LCG Auctions. As you're right, it 572 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: was in its case, unopened two thousand and seven iPhone. 573 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: So step up, you're the next contestant on the prices precise. Well, 574 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: don let's start with you, because you clearly haven't read 575 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: the story, like I haven't read the story. Not the 576 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: person is right, we're afraid a little afraid about Barker. 577 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it even possible that there aren't a 578 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: lot of these phones out there? Well? You got one 579 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: right there. Well, it's it's funny because you trade the man, 580 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, I've traded so many in for the next 581 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: model that who knows. But uh, this was unopened in 582 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: the box, which if you're collector nerd, it's always got 583 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: to be in the box and on open. Who buys 584 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: things and then leaves them in the box unopened? But 585 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: as such as life, someone realized, I guess that this 586 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: thing was going to be worse money someday, and they 587 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: saved it. So what do you think? What do you think? 588 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: Mind you, this is only two thousand and seven, a 589 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: mass produced device. We're not talking about a van. Go here, right, Um, 590 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: I'll go with fifteen thousand dollars fifteen thousand, Christina Hooper, 591 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: what's your prices precise? Yes, so I read the article, 592 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: but I don't remember the number. I want to say 593 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: it was fifty thou but it could have been to 594 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: fifty Yeah tho dollars kind of you kind of right 595 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: in the middle there. We have to do the math there, 596 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: she said it could have been two fifty. I don't 597 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: want to install our guests, but I think you want yet, 598 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: because yeah, you have to go under. It's actually a 599 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: document tree on one of the winningest people on prices 600 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: right on on Netflix, in case anyone's interested. How much 601 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: well on prices, right? You win like fifty bucks a time. 602 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: You know they want all of like probably it's more 603 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: of a social thing, you know. They get to be 604 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: like the tight knit group. They're all standing outside in 605 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: line to get on the show. My sister did run. 606 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: I just remembered my sister was on the show one 607 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: There you Go, not so long ago, like two years ago. 608 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: She won a bunch of stuff. Did she win a 609 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: new car? No? I wish, Oh my god, new car. No, 610 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't. She won random things. It must be much 611 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: harder now, what with inflation. You know, prices are changing 612 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: so quickly. Oh, that's a good point. I wonder if 613 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: it's yeah, there's causing volatility and the prices right, probably 614 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: they have inflation adjusted prices right now. That's good. That's 615 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the theme of the whole markets 616 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: this year.
