Rushia Sharma in twenty 9 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 2: four took every award for What Went Wrong with Capitalism? 10 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: This is the book you throwed a twenty one year 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: old brat, Paul. I'm talking to you, and you say, 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: shut up and read this Rushia Sharma and the President's 13 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: here are going to Fdr Nixon, Reagan, Biden and on 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: to President Trump, ever more important, two years down the road. 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: I can't say enough about it. Rich here, thank you 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: so much for joining us this morning. If you were 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: to write a new epilogue for What Went Wrong with Capitalism? 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 3: How would you write it? 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: Well? 20 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 4: Tom First, thank you so much for your kind words, 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 4: because nothing warms the heart of an author more than 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 4: to hear it from someone like you. But yeah, that's 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 4: exactly been the aim of this book, which is to 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 4: sort of show that how the capitalism we have today 25 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 4: is a very distorted form of capitalism we have can. 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 5: We even call it that? 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 4: And the main reason I wrote the book is something 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 4: that you tease just now in your introduction, which is 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 4: that so many young people today, when they are polled 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 4: in America, say that they're disillusioned with capitalism, and in fact, 31 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 4: many of them, particularly progressives, say that they would rather 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 4: have socialism. Now, that tells you about what is the 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 4: disenchantment with the cutting system. 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 5: That we have. 35 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 4: And what I've tried to do in the book, and 36 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: I don't think I would change anything from what I 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 4: wrote about this eighteen months ago when it was published, 38 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 4: is that you've seen more of that, which is that 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 4: we're seeing much wider income inequality, wealth inequality, and we 40 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 4: are seeing a lot of the incumbents get much more entrenched. 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 5: And my point is that. 42 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: Capitalism is not supposed to work this way. Capitalism is 43 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: supposed to be pro churn. It's supposed to be pro competition, 44 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 4: and we are supposed to weed out a lot of 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 4: the old players rather than have this kind of system 46 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: where it gets cleroossos. 47 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: That's right, where I wanted to go wead out the 48 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: old players post Trump. Whatever your politics, folks, I don't care. 49 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: Russhier is great about that. Post Trump. What happens to 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: populism is all of this solved at the ballot box. 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 4: Well, I think that, you know, the main issue that 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: Americans have today is one of affordability, and the affordability 53 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: crisis that we're facing in America, A lot of that 54 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: comes because of home prices, and that goes to the 55 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: heart of what went wrong with capitalism. Why are home 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 4: price is so unaffordable for so many Americans that so 57 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 4: many twenty year olds today cannot afford to buy a 58 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 4: home and are prefering to living in with their parents. Well, 59 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 4: the main reason for that is that the amount of 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: regulation we have had in the system that has made 61 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: home supply in very short supply. In fact, so the 62 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 4: number of new homes we're building in America today is 63 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 4: roughly the same level as it was thirty forty years ago, 64 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: when the population was a lot less. The kind of 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: regulation we have today makes it very difficult to build 66 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: new homes, so keeps going up, but supply just doesn't 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: come on the market. So I think that this is 68 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: what we need to do that how do we get 69 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: capitalism back to functioning the way it was, closer to 70 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: what the founders had in mind. I'm not saying we 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 4: return to the Dicxanian form of capitalism that we had 72 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: the nineteen twenties without a welfare state. But this capitalism 73 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: where you have, at least for the rich, capitalism on 74 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: the upside, and then socialism on the downside, where the 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: losses are socialized. 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 5: The government's there how to protect you. 77 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 4: I think that that distorted form of capitalism is something 78 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: which we'll keep producing these perverse outcomes that we're getting 79 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: today across America. 80 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: Rusher Shearmer with us of course, chairman at Rockefeller International, 81 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: can't say enough about his work, including my book of 82 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: the Year, What Went Wrong with Capitalism? 83 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: Paul Sweeney with Russier Sharma. 84 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 6: Sure, I think we all grew up, most of our listeners, 85 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 6: have yourers with globalism? Is globalism dead these days? 86 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 5: Really? 87 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: Because if you look at what's happening in the world 88 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: over the past year, the yes that America is withdrawing 89 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: from the global trade system, but the rest of the 90 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: world is learning to trade without America. So if you 91 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: see what's happened to trade volumes over the last few quarters. 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 4: America's share is declining in global trade volumes, but the 93 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: rest of the world, the trade volumes are actually going up. 94 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 4: And as I travel the world, what I find is 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 4: that more and more countries are trading with each other, 96 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: signing trade agreements with each other Europe and Latin America. 97 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: Even countries that it. 98 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 4: Turned quite protectionous like India, are signing more trade deals 99 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 4: with the Middle East or with New Zealands. 100 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: So at least on the trade front, what I. 101 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 4: Find is that globalization outside of America continues. Now, of 102 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 4: course globalism is more imperiled has to do with immigration, 103 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 4: and this is one of the top trains of my 104 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: year that we are seeing this backlash against immigration, not 105 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: only in America but across the Western hemisphere. So therefore 106 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 4: immigration rates have collapsed in much of Europe as well, 107 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 4: not just in America. But as far as trade is concerned, 108 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: the world is really learning to trade without America. 109 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 5: Increasingly China. 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 6: That's one of the big wild cards I think as 111 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 6: we think about global trade here here, what's your view 112 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 6: on China in the West over the next several years. 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 4: I think the single biggest story of twenty twenty six 114 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: which could emerge is the fact that China's dumping is 115 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: causing so much pain to so many countries around the world. 116 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 4: What exactly is going on here, which is that China's 117 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: always known to be an export powerhouse, but over the 118 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 4: last decade or so, this is beginning to shift in 119 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 4: one very important way. In the past, yes, China would 120 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: export a lot, and it would also increase prices over 121 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 4: time last few years, what's begun to happen and this 122 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 4: has become more acute in the last couple of years 123 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: that China's export volumes have surged, but it is done 124 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: so by cutting prices. So Chinese export prices are declining 125 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 4: by twenty percent a year, whereas export volumes are surging 126 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 4: by forty percent, and that is leading to a flood 127 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 4: of Chinese goods around the world, which is hurting them 128 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 4: manufacturing sector in places from Europe to Southeast Asia. And 129 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 4: I suspect that that backlash will really become more intense 130 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six because a lot of these countries 131 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: were so focused on fighting Trump's trade battle in twenty 132 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: twenty five, but that seems to have peaked now I 133 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: think the attention is going to turn to what China does, 134 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 4: and I think that the backlash against this China dumping 135 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 4: is going to get pretty intense this year. 136 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: Rushier Sharma with a Sirockefeller International celebrating his top ten 137 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: trends for twenty twenty six, published of course by the 138 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: Financial at Times. Sure you got a beautiful sentence here, 139 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: and I just want to get to this for twenty six, 140 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: for twenty seven, for twenty eight, until the money dries up? 141 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: What's the Rushier Sharma timeline? Asking for a friend? Rush 142 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: here is what is the Rushier Sharma X axis look 143 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: like for quote until the dries up? 144 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: Well, I think that the world is very sensitive to 145 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: higher interest rates. I know that some of the previous 146 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 4: guests are forecasting lower interest rates this year, but I 147 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 4: think that the real surprise could be that by the 148 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: end of this year we get higher interest rates, particularly 149 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: long term interest rates. And when interest rates go up, 150 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: that's when money really starts to dry up. 151 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: So I think that what you're alluding to here, Tom 152 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 5: is the fact that I wrote that. 153 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 4: We have some sort of an AI bubble, but the 154 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 4: bubble can keep inflating until interest rates go up and 155 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 4: money dries up. I think that that happens possibly by 156 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: the end of the year, when you end up getting 157 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 4: higher interest rates as inflation remains sticky, and the fact 158 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 4: that we still have, you know, like a lot of 159 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 4: this liquidity propping up financial assets. But the moment interest 160 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: rates go up particually long term interest rates, that's when 161 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 4: money dries up. 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 3: Don't go away. Because Paul Sweet's gonna save here? Did 163 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: you save me from this? 164 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 6: I can save good time because he's got ten big 165 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 6: themes for twenty twenty six, and number ten jumps out 166 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 6: of me peak alcohol. 167 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 7: What's going on there? 168 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: Was shre Yeah. 169 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 4: You know, this is one of the things which surprised 170 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: me too, which is the fact that when I looked 171 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 4: at the latest Gallop survey of the posters asking Americans 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: that how much are they drinking? You know that since 173 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: they've been asking this question since I think nineteen thirty 174 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: eight or something, the lowest share of Americans today are 175 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 4: drinking alcohol than before, right, So, which is that what 176 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: you're seeing is that people's alcohol consumption is dropping. In 177 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: places like UK even Russia, alcohol consumption is close to 178 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: a record low. 179 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 5: So I think that that's what's really going. 180 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 4: On, which is that there's a lot of awareness about 181 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: the negative consequences of alcohol. Even the old line, which 182 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 4: is that a drink a day is good for you. 183 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 5: I think that that. 184 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: Myth has also been busted, and so a lot of 185 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 4: young people in particular are turning off alcohol, and so 186 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: therefore we see the. 187 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 5: Consequences of that. Then, even as global. 188 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 4: Stocks continue to rally, one of the worst performing subsectors 189 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 4: in the world over the last few years have been 190 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,479 Speaker 4: alcohol stocks, and these include wineries, distilleries. 191 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 5: So you know, we've seen this across the. 192 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 4: Board, right, So there's a negative, you know, sort of 193 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 4: attitude towards alcohol leading to lower consumption of alcohol. Some 194 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 4: of it is getting cannibalized by cannabis as people switch 195 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 4: to that. But I think that that's a small part 196 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 4: of the story. The biggest story is that due to 197 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 4: health awareness, people are turning off alcohol, just like they 198 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 4: did with cigarettes before that. 199 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: We have Lisametery to help us with that. 200 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: Richard Sharma, my book of the year, What Went Wrong 201 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: with Capitalism, can't say enough about it, but stay with us. 202 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: More from Bloomberg Surveillance coming up after this. 203 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast just live weekday 204 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: afternoons from seven to ten am Eastern Listen on Applecarplay 205 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: and Android Otto with the Bloomberg Business app, or watch 206 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: us live on YouTube. 207 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: John Bilton had a global multi asset strategy at JP 208 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: Morgan Asset Management. 209 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: We're thrilled you could be with us. Thank you this morning. 210 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: You nail the risk of disinflation and outright deflation. There 211 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: is a raging battle now in the zeitgeist over if 212 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: this disinflation is just lowering inflation or does it lead to. 213 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: Dampened output in Europe and around the world. Does Kasmin 214 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: and Feroli do they see dampened output from the disinflation 215 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 3: you talk about. 216 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 8: Well, I think what it does is having seen the 217 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 8: ECB firmly on Holt probably for most of the years, 218 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 8: some manly, some of the dates we've seen in the 219 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 8: past couple of days suggests that just maybe, Jess, maybe 220 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 8: the ECB might have a Midsummer gift for folks. 221 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 7: Adding Europe, they've done a lot. 222 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 8: To bring to bring rates down to what they are 223 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 8: effectively close to zero in real terms. That's important. Remember 224 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 8: this is the biggest consumer block on the world. I 225 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 8: apologies to American consumers. European consumer block is twice as big. 226 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 8: They just don't spend, they save, So it's really important 227 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 8: how it feeds through the ECB policy. The European households 228 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 8: are saving fifteen point three percent of their income each year. 229 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 2: That's the same thing docimal point, we're saving one point 230 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: five exactly. 231 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 8: So the point is, but we just need a little 232 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 8: bit of impetus to set some spending in train. 233 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 7: There Europe can look pretty good. 234 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 8: So these these disinflationary forces give the ECB a lot 235 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 8: of wiggle room. But remember there's a lot of capex 236 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 8: coming as well through into Europe over the course of 237 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 8: twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight under the Made for 238 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 8: Germany plan, but also on some of the defense spending 239 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 8: et cetera that's yet to hit the system. So do 240 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 8: we see a return to the bad old days of 241 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 8: disinflation even flirting with deflation? Probably not, because this is 242 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 8: a different picture. We've got fiscal as well as monetary 243 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 8: right now. 244 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 6: We had use markets equitym marks perform very well in 245 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, but rest of the world did a 246 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 6: lot better. So what are we doing in twenty six 247 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 6: to expect than our performance to continue. 248 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 7: So it's kind of an interesting one. 249 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 8: There's been some real changes in terms of what's driven 250 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 8: the equity markets within If we look at the actual 251 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 8: indices themselves in local currency terms, they're kind of level 252 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 8: pegging if we take develop markets versus us later on 253 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 8: the currency. And of course this has been a great period. 254 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 8: If you've been an American investor buying European, Eurozone, UK, Swiss, 255 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 8: you've done pretty well because of the currency move as well. 256 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 8: We think the currency's got a bit further to go, 257 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 8: but the balance is changing. The differential over the long 258 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 8: term in terms of what we see as dollar weakening 259 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 8: against the euro, maybe about fifty sixty basis points a year. 260 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 8: It could be two percent against the end. It could 261 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 8: be two point two percent on average over the next 262 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 8: ten years against the ranimby in the end. So it's 263 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 8: really the Asian markets we're beginning to get that potential 264 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 8: for that currency pickup. 265 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 2: This is what, John, I'm so happy you're here for 266 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: this red sticky. This is what when we do a 267 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: fancy headline Bloomberg, we color it red. Sweety demands ad 268 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: Alaska Air is buying one hundred and ten Boeing aircraft 269 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: in global growth push. We my currency is gloom. People 270 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: don't tune in, they don't listen, they don't watch on 271 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: YouTube unless Lisa, am I right, Unless we're worried. 272 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: What about our children? Yes, we're worried. We're worried. 273 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: Here's Alaska Air betting on global growth. I mean, what 274 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: does your bank see of the optimists just saying no, 275 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: we're not going to worry about this, We're not going 276 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: to worry about disinflation. Let's go what's the John built 277 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: and let's go meet right now? 278 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 8: Well, I think par it back to pay back to 279 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 8: basic fundamentals. If we look from nineteen seventy three to 280 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 8: present day, we can count the NBA recessions. We look 281 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 8: at the economic data today, it is not pointing to 282 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 8: a recession in the US, and we've got fiscal stimulus 283 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 8: and monetary support in the rest of the world. Take 284 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 8: a look at S and P total returns over those periods. 285 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: In a non. 286 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 8: Recession year, nine times out of ten, the S and 287 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 8: P five hundred gives a positive total return. So the 288 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 8: idea that one would better against the economic momentum today 289 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 8: when you've got everything aligned, fiscal stimulus, regulatory easing, the 290 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 8: glagg defect of monetary stimulus all coming together in twenty 291 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 8: twenty six, I would be betting on equity markets continuing 292 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 8: to climb a wall of worry and some of the 293 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 8: investments spending from companies needing to play catch up in 294 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 8: order to stay relevant in terms of a growing global economy. 295 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 6: Allocations, stocks, barns, alternatives, thirty thousand foot view. Where's JP 296 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 6: Morgan asset management these days? 297 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 7: So we're a little bit overweight equity. 298 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 8: We're conscious that valuations are kind of peaky, but at 299 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 8: the same time we think fundamentals are good. We think 300 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 8: broadening out is important. We're not talking about sort of 301 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 8: going and playing around in small caps here. We're talking 302 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 8: broadening out globally across some of those bigger, you know, 303 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 8: recipients of that capital spending. So broadening out overweight equity. 304 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 8: We like Hong Kong because of the Asia play. We 305 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 8: like the UK because we've gone continuing to see some 306 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 8: decent yield there. We like Japan in terms of bonds. 307 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 8: You know, we're looking for further steepening in curves. They're 308 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 8: better likely to cut rates. We think one more time 309 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 8: this year, and then in terms of the other markets, 310 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 8: we're getting a little bit tight on credit, so we 311 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 8: think it's probably equity over credit as we move into 312 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 8: the ladder stage. 313 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 3: If you moved to New York or are you based 314 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 3: in London? 315 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 7: So I'm based in London. 316 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: Can we take a note? Can you get mister Damon 317 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: on the phone? We need God to come over there, 318 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: over there. 319 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 7: And there are slights both ways. 320 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us.

The rotation really kicked 338 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 10: off in November, because that's when we saw the blowoff 339 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 10: top and some growth shares. They'se traded to an eighty 340 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 10: five percent premium to value at the peak in October, 341 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 10: so there was a lot of room for valuations to 342 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 10: come in. And I think the character of this rotation 343 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 10: has been one that's been very pro cyclical. If you 344 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 10: look at what's leading, its things like banks, and you 345 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 10: have industrials doing better, industrial commodities doing better. So it 346 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 10: appears that this pro cyclical rotation is coming with a 347 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 10: narrative of global reacceleration, which I think remains to be 348 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 10: seen if the data actually supports that. 349 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 6: Boy, I'm thinking about my inbox over the last i 350 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 6: don't know, six weeks from the cell side, and their 351 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 6: twenty six outlooks almost universally positive bullish ten percent, twelve percent, 352 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 6: fifteen percent expectations for SMP stock performance in twenty twenty six. 353 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 7: That makes me nervous? 354 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 6: Does that make you nervous at all? 355 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 10: There's not a single strategist who's expecting a down year 356 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty six. 357 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 11: No, do you expect I gotta make some news this Well, Look, 358 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 11: we think that we'll have volatility along the way, but 359 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 11: that there's still room for the markets to press higher 360 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 11: through the end of the year. 361 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 10: But here the key point is that in the fourth 362 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 10: year of the bull market. We've had twenty three bull 363 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 10: markets that have been three years over the last fifty 364 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 10: years fifty sixty years or so, and the conclusion is 365 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 10: about fifty percent of the time they're able to get 366 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 10: to that fourth year of positive returns. So we have 367 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 10: a fifty to fifty chance of being able to deliver 368 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 10: positive returns in twenty twenty six. 369 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 6: Earnings, I guess that's the good news for bulls out 370 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 6: there because of the expectations are in twenty twenty six, 371 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 6: again double digit growth in earning twelve thirteen percent growth 372 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 6: in earnings. Is that enough to support this valuation this market? 373 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 10: That has been what has supported the valuation through twenty 374 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 10: twenty five, the fact that you saw the vast majority 375 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 10: of returns in twenty five driven by earnings growth, and 376 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 10: that's expected to continue in twenty six. So if we 377 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 10: break down the twenty twenty six earnings number, it's three 378 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 10: hundred and ten dollars a share. That implies an acceleration 379 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 10: in the top line. That's interesting because if you look 380 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 10: at consensus forecasts for GDP, consensus is expecting a deceleration 381 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 10: in nominal GDP growth. Remember, sales are nominal. The other 382 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 10: important point is that you have over two hundred basis 383 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 10: points of Martian expansion that's already been baked into current forecasts. 384 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 10: So we think if we're if we're thinking about what 385 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 10: drive drive markets over the course of the next couple 386 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 10: of months, it's whether or not you take the over 387 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 10: under on that earnings number. 388 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: Karon Dawson with New ed We we welcome all of 389 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 2: you across the nation, including her Florida. 390 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 5: We're doing Florida. 391 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 3: Music today for Cameron Dawson.

You know, Lisa's kids are traded on the couch, 404 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: But it's not like a three year double digit OMG. 405 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: Stocks are going up field, is it? 406 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 10: And to support your notion of there being a lack 407 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 10: of exuberance, you look at the Deutsche Bank and boldmin 408 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 10: SAX positioning indicators, and they're showing that institutions are effectively neutral. 409 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 9: You cannot say that about households. 410 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 10: Though retail investors are max overweight, max all in. You've 411 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 10: seen huge growth in marginal imbalances. AAI positioning is at 412 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 10: seventy one point two percent. 413 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 5: Wow, I didn't know that. 414 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 10: That's that's back to the peak from twenty eighteen and 415 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 10: twenty twenty one. 416 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 9: So households are all in. 417 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 3: So institutions under own NVIDIA. 418 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 10: Likely yes, simply because they have positioning size caps. 419 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 9: At the end of the day, when you have a. 420 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 10: Market that's so very concentrated, and you have certain mutual 421 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 10: funds that cannot own positions as large as what some 422 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 10: of these names are, by definition, they're institutionally forced to 423 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 10: being underweight. 424 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 9: Some of these leaders. 425 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 6: Fixed income is a great performer in twenty twenty five. 426 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 6: What do you think about the bomb market in twenty tins. 427 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 10: So, because we're starting this year at lower yields, we're 428 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 10: actually in our strategic tactical acid allocations, I should say, 429 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 10: actually taking some money out of fixed income and allocating 430 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 10: into other areas somebody, because you're not getting as much 431 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 10: of a return as you were at the beginning of 432 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 10: the year, given yields are lower and the strong performance 433 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 10: that we've had this year, so we don't think that 434 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 10: there's a lot of room for spreads to compress that 435 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 10: much further. In high yield and investment grade, they're pretty 436 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 10: darn tight. But note that they are thirty basis points 437 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 10: wider today than they were at the start of twenty five. 438 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 10: So really you can, in fact squeeze blood from a stone. 439 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: Cameron Dawson with us a nice lengthy interview. We're going 440 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: to continue with this, Dawson. Kevin Gordon came in yesterday. 441 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: Can we take a forty five second short biscuit break. 442 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: Kevin Gordon came in yesterday with schwab and he brought 443 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: in pumpkin honey cookie and it's all in Korean. 444 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 3: I can't understand it. Let's hand these these around control them, 445 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 3: dat on them. They were looking over them a full one, 446 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: you know, Lisa he our tin director turned around. 447 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 9: I'm going to pass it down. 448 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 3: It's it's just Kevin and Lazie Zanders. Thank you so much. 449 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 3: That was really easy. We learned a lot from them. 450 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 3: Kim Dawson at Charles Schwaz about. 451 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 2: This retail cooking, what do you tell retail in a 452 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: famed Cam Dawson. 453 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 10: Seminar, Well, I think that that the key message is 454 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 10: when we think about volatility in markets and as being 455 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 10: an individual investor, the most important thing is to make 456 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 10: sure that you were not positioned in a way that 457 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 10: when volatility eventually does strike, that you were forced to 458 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 10: sell positions that you shouldn't. That's the only way to 459 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 10: destroy value over the long run. So what that means 460 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 10: is not being over concentrated to certain factors, not having 461 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 10: too much leverage, and making sure that the overall allocation 462 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 10: is not so extended that if you have the quick 463 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 10: he needs during a time out of an inevitable volatility, 464 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 10: you don't have to sell your equities. 465 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 6: What I mean, one of the things that investors I'm 466 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 6: talking about is we need this market the broaden out. 467 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 6: Do we need this market the broaden out, or can 468 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 6: we just kind of live the way we've been living 469 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 6: in our list of years. 470 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 10: Well, you do in the sense that the MAG seven 471 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 10: is seeing a deceleration in earnings growth. So we've been 472 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 10: in a super normal earnings growth period the last three years. 473 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 10: MAG seven has delivered two hundred percent earnings growth. That 474 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 10: compares to the equal Weight at just eighteen percent. 475 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 2: Stop this is too important, Paul Brilliant. We got double 476 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 2: digit earnings growth coming, but it's all skewed towards twenty 477 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 2: five stocks, right. 478 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 10: Well, see, consensus is expecting that to broaden out. You 479 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 10: have this expectation by consensus that equal Weight is going 480 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 10: to start to catch up, not quite to the point 481 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 10: of MAG seven, but close that gap. But the thing 482 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 10: is people were expecting that at the beginning of twenty 483 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 10: five and guess what happened. Mag seven surprise of the upside, 484 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 10: equal Weight surprise to the downside. 485 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: Kevin Gordon called in, Tom, how is it?
