What 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: do they mean? Let's try to put some of that 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: into context. Nobody better to do that with. Then, David 11 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: Ko Talk, Chairman and chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors. 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: They have over three billion dollars in assets under management, 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: located in beautiful Sarasota, Florida. David, thanks much for joining 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: us again. Okay, some big round numbers. A lot of 15 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: people say, I don't worry about it, They're just numbers, 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: but boy, what do you make of them? Well, it's extraordinary, Paul, 17 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: thank you very much for having me on. Um. You know, 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: I thought that to the book DAL thirty thousand when 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,919 Speaker 1: it was written and we were all a few weeks 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: younger then, and and people thought it was a statement 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: of madness at the time. Look where we are, so 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: it's a streny. The markets, as we see it, are 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: looking beyond next spring. Um, it's the classics six or 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: nine months uhum forward looking post vaccine recovery. And you 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: see some forecasts of the rory twenties. I read a 26 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: piece I hadyard Any about that he's using that mantra. 27 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: So maybe we have the explosion of spending of what 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: has been a year of accumulated savings um in this 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 1: release of cabin fever. After we inoculate people and after 30 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: we overcome what is a terrible shock. Right now, markets 31 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: are looking beyond the shock. Those of us who are 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: living day to day lives are still living with the shock. 33 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: And unfortunately a lot of folks are letting their guard 34 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: down and they're getting sick, and when they do so, 35 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: it's a tragedy. With healthcare workers, nurses. I saw a 36 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: note Cleveland clinic as a thousand staff furloughed, not furload, 37 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: but on medical leave because they're sick. So we're we're 38 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: in the midst of the forest fire right now. And 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: that's a sad tragedy for America and the world. Yeah, exactly, David. 40 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: Are we going to see something catlest some catalysts arrive 41 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: that sort of brings this market back to reality or 42 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: is it just assuming that Joe Biden takes office and 43 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: that you know, there's stimulus, that all those millions of 44 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: people don't get a picked in January, that the unemployment 45 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: it starts coming down quickly next year, and that you know, 46 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: by the end of next year all as well in 47 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: the world again. Well, I don't know they'll all be 48 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: well in the world again, Vanny, but we certainly see 49 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: markets looking to Biden calm, less disruption, more season professional 50 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: government governance, and finally we are going to have a 51 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: transition and all of this disruption of our electoral process 52 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: looks like it's going to come to an end. And 53 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: I think markets are celebrating the lack of disruption and 54 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: chaos that we have seen. So it's a relief on 55 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: top of what would be a v shape recovery outlook 56 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: for next year and the year after. That's how it 57 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: looks to me and David. It also is it relates 58 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: to your outlook, or it appears that we have a 59 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: very clear rotation trade. You know, out of some of 60 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: those growthy names that have been really the stalwarts for 61 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: this equity market really since financial crisis, whether it's an 62 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Apple or an Amazon, into more cyclical type of groups, 63 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: whether it's banks or even even energy has had a 64 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: great month. Um. Do you believe that's the play right here? 65 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: And how long you think it could last? Well are 66 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: two questions. So we use a little joke in the company. 67 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: We say, Fang went to the dentist, and now we're 68 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: going to have a broadening market. And I guess there's 69 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: something to that. We see it in the small caps 70 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: and we see it in the Russell two thousand um 71 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: in our shop. We have uh good positions in the 72 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: Russell two thousand in through the et F structure and 73 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: in mid caps and small caps. So we've been enjoying 74 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: the rally and we continue to do so. We we 75 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: took advantage j of the sell off a few weeks ago, 76 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: and we have been nearly fully invested to this surge. 77 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: I admit that this is very fast, very robust, and 78 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: every day we get up and look at it and 79 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: we're terrified, and we don't sell anything in the next day. 80 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: We say we're glad we waited. That's uh, that's where 81 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: we are today in Thanksgiving week. Will you continue to 82 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: stay in this market as that out help David Well, 83 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: I I will for at least the next seven minutes, Vanny. 84 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: But but after that, I'm not sure. Yeah, I think so, 85 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: because when you put the robust recovery and the productivity 86 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: games on top of this v shaped powerful uh fiscal stimulus, 87 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: monetary stimulus you projected into two, you get an upward 88 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: trajectory in earnings and it can be supplies in surprisingly robust. 89 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: And I think there's a second kicker here, and that 90 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: is the Biden administration lifts the lid on DOCTA. That's 91 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: nine thou people who begin to flourish instead of hide 92 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: behind the front door because they make it decordered. We 93 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: change the immigration structure, and so we include, we increase 94 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: the workforce, the labor force by allowing it to flourish. 95 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: We bring back into the United States people. We need nurses. 96 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: There's a there's a demand for million nursing care people. 97 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: They would like to come to American work. I think 98 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: they would like to still come to America. They used 99 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: to want to do that. So If you add productivity games, 100 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: which we're getting in huge amounts, to increase in working population, 101 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: you accelerate the growth rate. I think we could hit 102 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: growth rates above three percent, maybe even to four percent 103 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: for a couple of years in g d P. If 104 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: we get population and productivity, and we release the economy 105 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: from chaos and from COVID, it could be an extraordinary 106 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: couple of years. And the markets are saying that. Markets 107 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: are saying those companies are going to reflect that in 108 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: their earnings. And I believe that's not only possible, but 109 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: I think it's becoming more and more likely as efficacious 110 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: vaccines get into distribution. That's remarkable science being applied. Remarkable. David, 111 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: how many milestones have we seen together in this market? 112 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: There's not the reely rhetorical question because there's no time 113 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: to answer it. But I can tell a listener is 114 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: that me and David and Paul have seen very, very 115 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: many milestones. That's David Kotalk, their chairman and chief investment 116 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: officer at Cumberland Advisors, joining us from Sarazota, Florida. Well, 117 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: we're certainly on a doll thirty thousand. Watch your three 118 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: or seventy points here nine thousand, nine sixty two. Clearly 119 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: equity investors are certainly willing to look past the dire 120 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: pandemic numbers were experiencing right now, look to the other 121 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: side of this in a world with a multiple vaccine. 122 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: To get a sense of kind of where we should 123 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: be looking in the market, we welcome Nicholas Co, founder 124 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: of Data Trek Research based in New York City. Nick, 125 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us again here. What do 126 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: you make of this equity market and are you surprised 127 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: at all about the ability of this market to really 128 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: look well towards the other side of this pandemic. You're right, 129 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: it is absolutely impressive. I'm not all that surprised, only 130 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: because you know, as a cyclicals oriented analysts, this very 131 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: much fits the playbook of every recovery back to when 132 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: I started looking at cycles in the early nineties covering 133 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the auto industry. So it's certainly a compressed version of 134 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: thout cyclical recoveries, but it does fit the basic paradigm 135 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: as much as any other one does. Small cap rallying industrials, rallying, financial's, 136 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: rallying tech under performing, you know, against the backdrop of recovery. 137 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: It makes all makes sense, What, then, Nick, should we 138 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: expect next Well, I mean, obviously we've got a real 139 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: head of steam on this market, and so you know, 140 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: the next couple of particularly days is going to be 141 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: a further continuation of the rally, particularly into light volume. 142 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: But I do think there's going to have to be 143 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: some kinds of reset back to some you know, more 144 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: real form of reality, if you will, as we get 145 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: into December and into the first part of next year. 146 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Because cyclical rallies always kind of blast off on hope, 147 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: and that's what we're seeing right now. Then there's a 148 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: real reality check when you start to see the numbers 149 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: come through. And while earnings are definitely going to show 150 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: leverage next year, you know, you don't never want to 151 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: be around for when a company just meets expectations after 152 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: a recession, they've got to keep beating them by a 153 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: wide margin. So the new term setup is fine further 154 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: out first half of next year much offer. So Nick, 155 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: we see some more positive data points, I guess just 156 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: on the geopolitical front, we're having president like Biden begin 157 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: his transition, starting to fill out his cabinet, janet, yelling 158 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: treasury pick, what are your thoughts very helpful for markets 159 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: for I think probably all the obvious reasons, mostly, you know, 160 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: having somebody who can coordinate treasury policy federal reserve policy 161 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: and not necessarily emerge those two functions, but make them 162 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: work as smoothly as possible, and we definitely need to 163 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: help in they have fiscal and monetary policy work hand 164 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: in glove. Also obviously an experienced set of hands for 165 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: the economy. Somebody who is well known on Capitol Hill, 166 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: somebody who can easily be be confirmed by the Senate. 167 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: You know, just a huge thumbs up. It was a 168 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: great choice. Who else would you like to see on board, Nick, 169 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: in terms of regulation, in terms of everything else from 170 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: the SEC too, you know, anybody lee thing with the banks. 171 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: It's a wonderful question. Um, you know, without naming any 172 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: specific names, I think what the market wants to see. 173 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, what Biden seems very much in the channel 174 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,239 Speaker 1: to do is just picked non controversial, easy to confirm, 175 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: widely acceptable choices and really get the you know, get 176 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: Washington back into the mainstream of governing the way it did, 177 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, for the last fifty years instead of the 178 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: last four. So Nick, how about as it relates to 179 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve chairman. Do you expect Pal to stay 180 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: or do you think the market would prefer perhaps someone 181 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: new Well, I mean, you know, Governor Brainers is obviously 182 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: the one that people call out is the most likely 183 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: potential next FED chare in two. I think the market 184 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: would like that only in terms of her usually dovish 185 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: bias Um and I think between you know, yelling and 186 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: whoever comes in the next at the FED, the market 187 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,479 Speaker 1: is beginning to feel that incremental, really large bank regulation 188 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: isn't coming down the road, and so you're seeing you know, 189 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: names like well as Fargo really work today, the financials 190 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: work today. That's really been a beaten up group, not 191 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: just for rates being so low, because of the threat 192 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: of more regulation. And as long as that doesn't that 193 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: doesn't come down the road, whoever is the next bed share, 194 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, should the market should welcome. So we just 195 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: had you know, retail sales reports that were pretty much okay, Nick, 196 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, we're seeing a little bit of a dent 197 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: and consumer conferdence this month, but nothing you know massive. 198 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 1: We're seeing housing, at least in suburban areas across the 199 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: country holding up even more than that. It's on fire. 200 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: How is this economy doing? Yes, okay, So on retail sales, 201 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: very interesting point. I mean, we think we're going to 202 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: see very strong November retail sales versus last year. NRF 203 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: was out yesterday with a pretty positive forecast on retail sales. 204 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: And just think about how much money is not being 205 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: spent on holiday travel for example, that money is and 206 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: I spent get spent on holiday and recamplers have been 207 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: super aggressive on getting their specials out the door early, 208 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: whether it be online or in store, and so we 209 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: think November is going to be a very good month 210 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: of retail sales, and that will fit with the data 211 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: that we're seeing on home sales and home prices. We're 212 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: a little more circumspect about December, however, because we think 213 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of holiday demand pulled forward 214 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: to November and won't be there in December. So I 215 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: think the near term news is fine. We'll have to 216 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: wait and see how December plays out and then refasts. Nick, 217 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: just what is your forecast for when the Dow actually 218 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: tops thirty? Oh, I don't know. I'm checking my watch. 219 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: It's more along those lines um than anything else. I mean, 220 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: it's a You know, it's that those people at discount 221 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: these big round numbers as something that really doesn't matter 222 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: to markets. I do think it matters to markets. If 223 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: you look to see how many retail investors google Dow 224 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: Jones versus S and P it's Dow Jones by like one, 225 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: they'll know when the deal gets to thirty and it 226 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: is a confidence lift, right, there is something to be 227 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: said for it, right, Yeah, yeah, I think so. I mean, 228 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: it's a nice it's certainly nice for financial journalists to 229 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: talk about. But I think Nick, you're right. I mean, 230 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: people do view it as a plateau to be to 231 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: be achieved, so it can be important from that. Yeah, 232 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you hit a round number, 233 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: at least what at least what becomes very obvious is 234 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: the direction, and if it's higher, well that's usually just 235 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: the green light end of its lower world. Probably didn't 236 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: see that one coming, Nick, Thank you so much. Nick 237 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: Cholos is co founder of Data Track Research, always full 238 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: of fascinating market insights daily, so we thank him for that. Well, 239 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: if you want to travel internationally, you better get used 240 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: to a new concept called a COVID passport. That's a 241 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: new word I think is entering our minacular right now. 242 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: Let's get some more details. We bring on Charlotte Ryan, 243 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: aviation reporter for bloombergsh is based in London. Charlotte, what 244 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: is a COVID passport? And do I need one? If 245 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: I want to travel internationally? At some point? Good afternoon. 246 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: So the COVID pass for it is an idea that 247 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: we've seen a few organizations starting to explore, the most 248 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: recent of those being AYATA, the International Air Transport Association. 249 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: And basically what it is is UM, an online effective 250 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: health status that would show your most recent COVID test 251 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: results and whether you've had a vaccine when indeed a 252 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: vaccine is available. And the idea is to link this 253 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: UM with your travel documents so that when passengers travel, 254 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: the airline or government that is accepting the passenger can 255 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: immediately see their health status. Who would be the regulator 256 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: for this? So that's a really good question, and it's still, 257 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: in a sense a bit of an open question. We've 258 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: got a few a few initiatives that are underway at 259 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: the moment, and such a health path for its actually 260 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: being trialed on routes in Asia, but it's not clear 261 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: to what extend. Governments would have to be involved in this. Obviously, 262 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: as we known from the travel disruption we've seen so 263 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: far with the virus is up to the individual governments 264 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: to decide under what conditions they want to let people in. UM. 265 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: So that is very much something that still has to 266 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: be resolved with these health path worts. So Charlotte, what's 267 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: what's the position of airlines? Generally speaking, I would think 268 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: they would be in favor of anything that would get 269 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: people back in their seats. Yeah, exactly. So I mean 270 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: we with this latest effor if I have, they're going 271 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: to trial this with i D, one of the bigger 272 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: airlines UM and they say that they're hoping to launch 273 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: with other airlines as well. We've also had Quantis saying 274 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: this week that once a vaccine is in place, they 275 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: would not allow international passengers to travel unless they have 276 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: been vaccinated. So there certainly is a willingness I think 277 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: to get people back in the air and also to 278 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: be as sure of passengers. But it is safe to fly, 279 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: so I don't fully understand because many of them are 280 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: not enforcing rules like mask wearing or you know, six 281 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: ft apart separation in the planes. But suddenly they'd want 282 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: you to prove that you've had a vaccine at some point. Yeah. 283 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: So on the six ft rule, we did have a 284 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: couple of US airlines that were putting not quite six feet, 285 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: but putting a gap in between each cassenger. So I 286 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: guess my point is that, you know, this doesn't seem 287 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: to be right now. They don't seem to be worried 288 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: about but too worried about, you know, enforcing certain rules 289 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: that might help people not get COVID. But when there 290 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: is a vaccine, suddenly they will be just explained that 291 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: to me sure, So I think in terms of mass 292 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: wearing at least, Um, you know, what we know from 293 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: the airlines is they all they all say that they 294 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: do enforced this currently. I know there have been cases 295 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: of individual flights where people's say that that's not what's happened. Um, 296 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: And I think, yeah. With the vaccine, I mean, I 297 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: guess the advantage from the airline point of view is 298 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: that it's this very clear indication if you get on 299 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: a flight where everybody has been vaccinated, you know that 300 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: you're you're pretty much safe. Whereas I think from the 301 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: airline side of things, they have suggested that things like 302 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: putting a seat in between passengers aren't necessarily that effective 303 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: as something was spread anyway, Yeah, exactly, just real quickly, 304 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: don't there any data that shows that people do get 305 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 1: the virus from air traffic? I haven't seen many stories 306 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, so this is still again a bit 307 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: of an open question since what extent this virus in 308 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: particular can spreads on aircraft. But we have had cases. 309 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: I asked to think they've been around four fifty cases, 310 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: which sounds like a lot, but it's worth highly in. 311 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: A good chunk of those were on a couple of 312 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: flights before the requirements where masks was brought in, and 313 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: but certainly there have been cases where where the virus 314 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: has spreads on the aircraft. It does seem that this 315 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: has something to do with the fact that just today 316 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: I had as predicting carriers will lose a combined one 317 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: fifty seven billion dollars this year and next year, which 318 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: is more than a forecast in June. So it also 319 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: was getting things wrong. Charlotte. Wonderful story, Charlotte, Ryan, they're 320 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: joining us well. I think for most people it appears 321 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: that this work from home situation is working out fairly well. 322 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: Now some companies are certainly think about what their staffing 323 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: plans will be post pandemic. UH. Deutsche back coming out 324 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: today and saying maybe they're considering on a permanent basis 325 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: having their workers work two days a week at home 326 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: on a permanent basis. Steve Aaron's is a German banks 327 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: reporter for Bloomberg News. He joins us from Frankfurt. Steve, 328 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us here. So talk to 329 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: us about the news today about Deutsche Bank. What are 330 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: there their plans here post pandemic so UM, as with 331 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: many other banks, Glergi Bank obviously has been thinking about 332 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: its future once the pandemic is over. And it's been 333 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: in the kind of work from home mode since the 334 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: pandemic broke out in in earlier this year and and 335 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: in February March, people have been working from the home. UH. 336 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: They've been surprised as how well it's been working. And 337 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: now they're coming to the conclusion that this can help 338 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: UH lower costs and of course adapt to new circumstances, 339 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: and therefore there now approaching a new policy where they 340 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: will probably allow people are work from home to day 341 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: the week. So is it though, that you can work 342 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: home any two days you choose, because we know from 343 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: chat with hedge fund managers and various people who talk 344 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: to us about how their offices are staff that right 345 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: now Friday is not a very popular day for people 346 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: to come in, and neither is Monday. So are we 347 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: going to have of deute buying stuff in on Tuesday, Wednesday, 348 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: Thursday and the rest, you know, not in Monday Friday. Yeah, 349 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure how Dodge Bank will handle it, 350 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: but you're right, obviously that would be probably a very 351 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: heavy focus on Friday and Monday to work from home. 352 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they will have policies in place that 353 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: won't permit that, though I don't have really insight knowledge 354 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: and that, but yeah, I think a lot of companies 355 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: are trying to figure out. I mean, most likely scenario, 356 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is to have you know, binding agreement 357 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: in place for certain days of the week and then 358 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: they will ensure it's sort of even it evens out, 359 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: and then if you don't get Friday on Monday, and 360 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: I guess you're locked out. So, Steve, do you have 361 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: any sense or do Stuorte Bank have any sense at 362 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: this point as to what types of people would be 363 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: given this work from home opportunity. I would think they 364 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: would want their traders in, maybe their investment bankers in 365 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: every day. So it's just more of a back office 366 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: type thing. Yeah, I guess that's another important consideration, right, Traitors, 367 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: for compliance reasons and many other reasons, need to be 368 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: at their death in the office a lot of the time, 369 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: so it's likely that they may have only one day 370 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: or no days. Um, that's certainly something that is still 371 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: working on UM and uh in the same goes for 372 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: UM client facing people who travel a lot UM. So yeah, 373 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: I think we're mostly talking about the back office you're 374 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: aware of. Working from home is much less of an issue. 375 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: And then for the other stuff, so you know, not 376 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: that money companies have put out formal blueprints because nobody 377 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,239 Speaker 1: knows who, nobody knows how long the pandemic is going 378 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: to last one, vaccines are going to be available, at 379 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: what point their workers are going to be able to 380 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: access vaccines and so on. Why do dot de bank 381 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: decide to do this now? Well, it's not it's not 382 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: a formal announcement, right, we booked the news. It's people 383 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: familiar U However, there are banks European banks who have 384 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: made sort of preliminary announcements. What they're planning is um 385 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: and they're ranging from twenty to fifty on Dutch banks 386 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: and said they will allow fifty percent of staff to 387 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: work from home. So I just think it's you know, 388 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: we've had a trial line of working from home since 389 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: the beginning of this year. They realize it's working well, 390 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: and now you know, you have to consider if you 391 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: want this to impact your policies. You have nieces in place, 392 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: if you want to reduce office space, you have to 393 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: start doing this now because it will play out over 394 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: a very long period of time. Also, you need to 395 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: talk to regulators about install on. If you don't make 396 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: a decision at some point, um, it's gonna just you're 397 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: gonna delay the whole implementation for a long time. So, Steve, 398 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: I wonder how much of this is really a cost 399 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: cutting move here. I mean, you know better than anybody 400 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: the difficulty that German banks have been dealing with four years, 401 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: especially now with this low and negative interest rate environment. 402 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: How much do you think that's playing into a cost 403 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: cutting costs on a long term basis. Yeah, you're absolutely right. 404 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: European banks and specifically German banks and Deutsche Bank have 405 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: a huge cost problem and I'm we want to prevent 406 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: sure that this is a very big consideration. But if 407 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: you know, they sort of for them, it's a win 408 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: win situation if it really does make staff happy. You know, 409 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: if you'll give your staff the opportunity to work from 410 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: home and they're happier about it and you can cut 411 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: costs at the same time, why not, right, I mean, 412 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: it works, it works. Well. What when there's a vaccine 413 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: that everybody can get access to and everybody is vaccinated 414 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: that wants to be vaccinated, and we've decided that this 415 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: pandemic is not a yearly thing that mutates, will we really? 416 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean, does anybody really think we'll see any capitalist 417 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: country continuing with this idea for you know, the next 418 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: five and fifteen years and permanently. M that's yeah, I mean, 419 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: that's a crystal ball question. But I do think so. 420 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean, all the banks are saying this has been 421 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: a sea chain for them. They now think work from 422 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: home is the new normal. They also say officers will 423 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: always be a place in important place for them. They 424 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: will never abandon their officers entirely. But I do think 425 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: there will be a mixed model. Uh. And now that 426 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: people have been working at home and their managers a 427 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: line managers real life people don't flack off at home 428 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: and productivity stays at the same level, then why not? Yeah? 429 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: Do you think it will stay? So, Steve? Is this 430 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: when do you think we're gonna see some more news 431 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: out of maybe Deutsche Bank or some other banks. As 432 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: to announcements, I think I think there will be every 433 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: now and then there will be banks making announcement announcements 434 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: on this as they come to a conclusion what they 435 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: really want to have for set up. I'm not sure. 436 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: We don't know when Dutche Bank will make a formally 437 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: adopt out plan. It may still be a few months. 438 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you're some European bankers Upstad have 439 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: made that formal announcement, and I'm pretty sure others will 440 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: follow suit. Stephen Aaron's joining us there with a wonderful 441 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: story on Deutsche banks moving to a reduced workforce from 442 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: in house areas at least, and Stephen, of course covering 443 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: all of the woes of European banks over the last 444 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: several years. It doesn't seem to be getting all that 445 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: much better, but at least they've got something else to 446 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: think about for the moment. Stephen Aaron's they're joining us 447 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: from Frankfurt, Germany.
