They are. It is an 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: outstanding series of optimism. It is just stunning optimism. Should 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: we discuss the Minnesota Twins? I don't you know? Uh, well, 24 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, John and I were talking earlier while you 25 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: were out of the studio about how we were going 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: to deal with your depressed gloom today because the Red 27 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Sox have lost their first game. It's truly on a 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: rule lately. Thank you the Brewing DeCamp upstairs. You know, 29 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: Jim Paulson joins us from Minnesota, where he is more 30 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: sane than we are and has a wonderful perspective on 31 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: our economics center equity. Jim, just simply, can you be 32 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: long of stocks right now? Yeah? I think in the 33 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: uh you know, in the next few months, tom My, 34 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: My feeling is we're probably gonna move higher to higher highs. 35 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: I there's a few things in the short run at least, 36 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: um that I really like. I like the fact that 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: we're kind of calming down the deflationary fears that have 38 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: ruled us over the last couple of years. Um, if 39 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: you remove that deflationary ABIs story, it brings more risk 40 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: on behavior. I like the fact that I think earnings 41 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: the expectations are now so low that even and I 42 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: actually think if you look at some economic surprising disease 43 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: about the globe, I'm starting to see a lot of 44 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,559 Speaker 1: different regions, including the euro Zone, including the emerging market economies, 45 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: and the United States turned upward with the economic reports. 46 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: And then lastly, I think the biggest one is I 47 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: just continue to sense a pessimism. We've had exactly big 48 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: rally off the bottom in last August. When we did that, 49 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: it brought back optimism. This time it hasn't. So I 50 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: like the fact maybe we're going to have to break 51 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: up of two new all time highs head towards before 52 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: we bring back optimism, and at that point there might 53 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: be more risk. But I think now it looks pretty good. Mike, 54 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: I will I don't know appline on the markets. We 55 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: don't do that, but I will say it's uncommonly gloomy 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: inequity land right now. Well, is this a is this 57 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: a time then to buy? Because there's so much gloom? 58 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: Is it the old wall of worry thing. I think 59 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: that's one of the good reasons to be buying. Uh, Mike, 60 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: I really do you know, we've had almost three ten 61 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: percent corrections within about fifteen sixteen months. We fell almost 62 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: ten percent in late two thousand fourteen, we fell ten 63 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: percent in last August. We had another correction here even 64 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, larger than the highs here in February. And 65 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: and what I noticed the last two times when we 66 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: had those corrections, you you were instantly the uh. The 67 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: attitude on Wall Street was, Oh, this is a good 68 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: buying opportunity, a refreshing pause and an ongoing bowl market, 69 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: a chance to get in before we go to new highs. 70 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: This this time in February, it's been entirely different. What 71 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: this collapse brought out was calls for a recession, calls 72 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: for a global financial contagion, bear trap rally. This has 73 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: been focused on. I like that we're back to what 74 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: really made this entire bullmarket great, which has been climbing 75 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: a perpetual wall of worrying. Yeah, but even at the 76 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: valuations we're seeing now. That was one of the concerns. 77 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Paul Hicky and Bespoke head when't he was on with 78 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: us earlier that I mean, you're you're paying a those 79 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: nineteen times earnings for the S and T. I share that. 80 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: I share those concerns. I think the best of this 81 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: bull market from a buy and hole perspective, has passed. 82 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's open. I don't see a 83 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: recession and on the horizons, so the I think the 84 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: odds of a sustained bear market are not good. On 85 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: the other hand, we've used up a lot of the 86 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: valuation that you you used to fuel the ball. We 87 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: were in a to a mature earning cycle right now, 88 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: which earnings are not gonna be as good going forward 89 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: as they have. We're gonna lose the support of the Fed. 90 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to reset rate. There's a lot of challenges, 91 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: But to me, I think we persist, but the returns 92 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: are gonna be far less. But right now I think, Um, 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: I've had I've had a range of eighteen hundred ending 94 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: flat for the year, and we went down eighteen hundred 95 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: on excessive pessimism. Maybe we go up to excessive optimism 96 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: and uh, from where we are now, that's that's pretty 97 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: good upside. Jim Paulson with this, Jim, inflation is it? 98 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: Is it gonna overshoot? And uh give us something to 99 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: talk about in August and in December. Um, you don't. 100 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't think we're en route tom to run away inflation. Um, 101 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: but I certainly think it's turned a corner. I think 102 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: it is heading higher a little bit here, you know, 103 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: lost in the colossal collapse of commodity prices, uh at 104 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: oil was over the last year, we've had a pretty 105 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 1: considerable rise in core economic cost in the United States. 106 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: We've had the biggest and most sustained rise in wage inflation, 107 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: in core consumer price inflation, in the core PC deflator, 108 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: in core services inflation. You also see core inflation that 109 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: it's picked up actually in the Eurozone, it's picked up 110 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: in Japan. Uh. So I think we've turned a corner. 111 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: We're at full employment into the four handles on unemployment probably, 112 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna continue to push that higher. 113 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna get back. And worried about that, 114 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: and worried about the FED being behind the curve, and 115 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: Jim Paulson, who has been a resilient optimist all the 116 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: way through this bull market and even the discussion are 117 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: we in a bear market now? Is enough to get 118 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: him fired up? Will continue with Mr Paulson. Maybe you 119 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: look at more of the economic foundations of his optics 120 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: of equities, UM futures negative tim doubt futures negative eight 121 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: one yield one point seven.

Democratic presidential candidates Hillary 124 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: Clinton and Bernie Sanders are swapping pointed words at each other. 125 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Sanders says Clinton isn't qualified to be president after taking 126 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. Meanwhile, 127 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Clinton said Sanders hadn't done his homework on several subjects. 128 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says fraud charges against Donald 129 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: Trump make him a liability to the party. Crews spoke 130 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: today to ABC News. We want to beat Hillary. The 131 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: last thing we want is to nominate someone like Donald Trump, 132 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: who over and over again has allegations of fraud against him. 133 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Researchers trying to solve the puzzle of millions of BA 134 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: depths nationwide now turning their attention to pockets of survivors 135 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: in caves where a deadly fungal infection first began. Populations 136 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: of bats in some Upstate New York and from hibernation 137 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: sites appear to have stabilized. Researchers are studying everything from 138 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: behavior to cave conditions. It may not be pretty, but 139 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: bats serve an important role.

Future negative ten. It is eight on 226 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: Wall Street. The following is from Bloomberg View opinions and 227 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: commentary from Bloomberg columnists. I'm Jonathan Bernstein, a columnist from 228 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: Bloomberg view, it's increasingly likely Donald Trump could win a 229 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: plurality of delegates but fall short of the required delegate 230 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: majority and lose the nomination. The convention could even select 231 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: a candidate who got drugged in the primaries, or one 232 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: who sat out the contests altogether. Trump may find that unfair, 233 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: but such an outcome would be democratic. Parties are private organizations. 234 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: It's up to them to decide how they want to 235 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: choose their nominees, at least as long as parties allow 236 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: new members to join and have an opportunity to exercise 237 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: influence within the party. I do have two concerns about 238 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: the selection of delegates, which on the Republican side is 239 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: partially separated from the allocation of delegates. It's not clear 240 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: to what extept the delegate selection process really is open 241 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: to new members. It also seems odd for a party 242 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: to hold primaries and advertise them as choosing the nominee 243 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,239 Speaker 1: if in fact, separate delegate selection means primaries don't necessarily 244 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: determine the nomination. Overall, the system may look weird, but 245 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: it's probably sufficiently democratic. I'm Jonathan Bernstein for more view, 246 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: please go to Bloomberg View dot com or view go 247 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: on the Bloomberg terminal. This has been Bloomberg View and 248 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: Bloomberg View commentaries can be heard hourly weekdays. I'm Bloomberg Radio, Mike. 249 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: This is perfect, this is perfect surveillance. We have Jim 250 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: Paulson on and Albert Edwards, who even the optimists read 251 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: over at sock Chen because he's so David Gloomy Lukawa 252 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: out from Bloomberg Markets out with a tweet with a 253 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: killer Albert Ebsward's chart of business investment modestly rolling over 254 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: and earnings with a vengeance what he calls Edwards calls 255 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: whole economy profits rolling over. That's pretext, domestic non financial 256 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: profits rolling over. It's enough, Mike McKee to make Jim 257 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: Paulson squirm. Well, Jim is a little worried anyway about 258 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: what's been happening with the investments. I mean the capital 259 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: labor ratio. You're right about the recently um the k 260 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: L ratio were companies just aren't spending any money on 261 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: capital deepening at this point, and that's reflected in productivity numbers, 262 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: and maybe that's connected to why we're seeing such bad earnings. 263 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: Do you think I think it's possible. Uh, Like I 264 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: think the UH, the cap the capital, the amount of 265 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: capital the labors had to work with. That ratio has 266 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: been falling steadily in the last five years, really throughout 267 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: this recovery, from two thousand nine through the latest data 268 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: through two thousand fourteen. It's one of the steepest and 269 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: pro longest drops in the US capital ratio in post 270 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: war history. And certainly, you know, giving uh always giving 271 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: more and more capital to the to the labor supply 272 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: is one of the reasons that the US dominated the 273 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: globe economically. And UH, I don't think it's a coincidence 274 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: at all that the fall in the capital labor ratio, 275 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: the outsized fall in this recovery is has led to 276 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: the worst productivity performance of any recovery in the post 277 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: war period. UM. It's been an issue, it could become 278 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: a bigger issue UH going forward. UM. I am hopeful 279 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: that there's been some pickup in UH in private sector 280 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: investment in the last few years, not real strong, but 281 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: a little bit enough maybe to help raise productivity during 282 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: the balance of this recovery. But it's gonna be a 283 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: close call. We we we've got no help from the 284 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: public sector. Real public sector investment as a percentage GDP 285 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: has recently fallen to a sixty four year low in 286 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: this country, also contributing to lack of productivity. So it's 287 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: gonna come from the private sector. There's certainly tremendous capability here. 288 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: The amount of dry powder on corporate balance sheets relative 289 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: to the size of the economy remains almost record setting. 290 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: If we could get that off the balance sheet, uh, 291 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: into something other than buying back their own stock or 292 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: raising dividends or buying each other, if we could actually 293 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: create some animal spirit. Do you see any indication of that? 294 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: Not not right now. I don't, Tom, And that's the problem. 295 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: But but here's the one thing I think that's been 296 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: missing in this cycle. For that that we could get 297 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: we have. We think it's been tax policies, you know, 298 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: and not bringing cash over Europe and those kid things. 299 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I think the main thing that hasn't been 300 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: there is when the CEO looks around the world, we 301 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: have never been able to see all the economic boats 302 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: rising at the same time in this recovery. You know, 303 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: we've we've lost Europe different times. We've lost Japan different times. 304 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: Now the emergent world slowing down. We've never had a 305 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: CEO that looks out of his markets and goes, oh, 306 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: look at they're all kind of going up the same time. 307 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: That is what would bring animal spirits, and in the 308 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: need to to add to capital investment, we might get that. 309 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: I think the tremendous synchronized policy stimulus that we've dumped 310 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: on the global economy in the last couple of years, 311 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: in the form of a tax cut, of of of 312 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: a fifty drop in commodity prices, in the form of 313 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: a major global wise drop in sovereign bond yields, and 314 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: in the form of currency weakness for everyone but the 315 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: United States, is likely to bring a bounce in economic 316 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: growth uh simultaneously, which could bring animal spirits. And within 317 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: your animal spirited optimism, you need this, Folcus on the 318 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: twins open oh and two Jim, when you when you 319 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: look at the enthusiasm you have, can you buy to 320 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: be safe x on and Chevron or can you load 321 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: the boat on energy? Even if you don't know it's 322 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: abottom in oil. I like energy time. I don't know 323 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: if i'd load the boat. I don't know if it's 324 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: a low, I said, I suspect it is. I think 325 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: the fact that there's a lot of things that haven't 326 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: happened at the preousiest times that crude rallied in the 327 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: last couple of years. You know, the look at the 328 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: performance of the transport stocks doing well, look at the 329 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: c RB raw, industrial commodity prices doing doing well, basically 330 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: material stocks doing well, gold doing well, the dollar coming 331 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: off significantly. Those are all things that give me more 332 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: support that this is a low, and I would rather 333 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: load the boat just an energy I would diversify it 334 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: not only to energy, but to basically materials as a 335 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: whole too, industrials, uh, overall, and even to parts of technology. 336 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: If we stabilize commodities and manufacturing, I think the more 337 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: capital goods industrial producer sectors of the world stock mark 338 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: are going to do better. Well. This is uh, you know, 339 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: a quarter in which all of those categories you just 340 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: talked about our forecast to basically be terrible in terms 341 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: of earnings. I mean, industrials are forecast to be down, 342 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: energy down there under. Um, so how long are we 343 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to You're gonna have to wait to be 344 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: proven right? Well, you know, the stocks moved before the earnings, 345 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: so the stocks created uh last year and even to 346 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: the lows of January. But those most of those stocks 347 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: have turned the corner have been outperforming again. So the 348 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: earnings might well be bad and that might already have 349 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: been reflected in the the stock under performance in those sectors. 350 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: The fact that the stocks were already turning upward again 351 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: might tell you that as we get into the second 352 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: quarter and the last two courses year, earnings performance out 353 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: of these groups are gonna turn more positive. Uh. Certainly, 354 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: if commodity prices and crude oil hold at these higher 355 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: levels are still go higher, Uh, you're gonna have some 356 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: pretty big positive swings in earnings from those sectors. Ultimately, 357 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: is the percent changes from your goal levels start to 358 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: turn the other way. So you know, I kind of 359 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: think that by the time the earnings performance actually shows, 360 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: those stocks will already be doing uh quite well, Mike, 361 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: So I don't think he could wait for that turn. 362 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: Do you realize that when Jim Paulson says load the boat, 363 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Michael McKee, he's talking about in nineteen sixty four criss 364 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: crafty two ft cavalier Dorry.
