1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: The single best idea. I'm not a typical September Friday.

3
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: We're supposed to slide into the weekend. There is no sliding.

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Paul Sweeney was better than me. He brought it up

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: at least four times. Oh next week a government shutdown.

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: We barely looked at it, given the news flow and

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: of course some of the magic of a September sporting scene,

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: Red Sox and the Tigers, the Yankees, the Blue Jays,

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: all of it just very exciting. And of course the

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup on Bloomberg Radio is really exciting for Washington,

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: New York. In Boston, we did look at the equity markets.

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: Three down days in a row, go to cash. John

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Stolphe says No. At OpCo, he has been brilliant about

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: participating in the market in a rational way for long

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: term investment. Here from OpCo, John stolfs.

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: You need to distinguish between are you a trader or

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: are you an intermediate to longer term investor. And I think,

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: as you know, I've been to this business since nineteen

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: eighty three, so I've been through a lot of economic

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: cycles and bull markets and bear markets and In the

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: process of this, the tone of the market has changed

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: because the private investor today across generations is investing for

23
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: their retirement or investing in retirement, and they want to

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: preserve their standard of living or improve their standard of

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: living going forward. And from a historical basis past performance

26
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: being no guarantee future results tends to be Equities outperform

27
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: other asset classes for more periods than many people would

28
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: think who are bearish or skeptics on the market.

29
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: It's a different approach to Dow fifty thousand to s

30
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: and PA eight thousand. Ed Yard Denny, as an economist,

31
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: looks at the economy. John Stulfus is a market strategist,

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: looks much more at sectors and markets. The common feature

33
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: is the buoyancy of the economy innovation technologies, like Edyard

34
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: Denny would say. And then over to revenue, which John

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Stoulfus mentioned today, I watch revenue dynamics as much as

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: I watched the key element, which is profit. We profited

37
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: from Captain Kominski joining us today in studio in New York.

38
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: She is hugely associated with the Charles River in Boston

39
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: and with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Katie Kominsky of

40
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: Elpha Simplex on the trend that's out there.

41
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: Trend falling as a strategy is meant to be self

42
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: correcting in the sense that as trends move against you,

43
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: your positions naturally reduce. So as you see trends expand

44
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: you're expanding positioning as you see them contracting, your contracting

45
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: positioning all using math. Really, when you have sort of

46
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: a reversal and signal, it's a combination of two things.

47
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: One is sort of the reduction in the signals strength.

48
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: The other is volatility expansion. So as volatility expands, you

49
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: also integrate that and how you measure what your position

50
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: sizing should be. So when that's why you see a

51
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: lot of quants struggled this year, because when you see

52
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: those type of shocks, it's hard to measure it inside baseball.

53
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: That was brilliant from Katie Kominsky bottle it. I literally

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: my first interview when I walked in the door at

55
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: Bloomberg was about trend following using the Bloomberg terminal as

56
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,559
Speaker 2: giants of years ago did. Was Sun Microsystems Spark stations.

57
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: One of those founders of Katie Kominski's world was John

58
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Henry who has a baseball team in Boston, an English

59
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: football team in Liverpool, and I believe he is ownership

60
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: of some form of the Sydney Crosby franchise in Pittsburgh.

61
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: Kati Kaminsky, wonderful to have her in today from Elvisimplex.

62
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: We're on podcasts, We're on Apple, We're on Spotify, on

63
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: YouTube podcasts. It's single best idea
