1 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane Jailey. 2 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course, on the Bloomberg Robert 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: Dalla is with us. He's in no vinesset management, and 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: he is the guy who kept you in the market. 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: To enjoy a ten year per year return of fifteen 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: percent plus the doll mandate, you gotta be in the 9 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: markets to play described to play this morning, Bob Doll. 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Why should I be in the equity markets? Because the 11 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: economy and earnings this year are going to be off 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: the charts. We're gonna have the strongest economic growth this 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: year and at least twenty could be as many as 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: the strongest growth in thirty six years. That will carry 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: things long. This will be a great year for the 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: economy and earnings. I think it's just a good year 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 1: for the stock market. In other words, I think multiples 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: are held back a bit, Tom, because of modestly rising 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: interest rates and inflation. Behind you is the logo of 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: the Esteem Novine of Chicago, owned by T I a 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: a craft. You know the retirement combine. Good morning, Roger Ferguson, 22 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: Bob Dole. Do you need to raise your actuarial assumption 23 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: with double digit returns? Democratic President? How Senate do you 24 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: begin to lift up our actuary return? Oh? Maybe for 25 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: the next few months, Tom, But longer term, I don't 26 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: think so. Stocks and bonds are both expensive relative to 27 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: their history. Therefore, the next five and ten years, the 28 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: return is probably going to be a lot lower than 29 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: it was for the last five or ten years. That's 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: the law of averages. So it's gonna be a harder 31 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: to make a buck going forward. How much? How much harder? 32 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: In other words, are we look at a future? Are 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: we're looking at a three or four percent future? It 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: makes a difference when you know somebilities agreed. So if 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: stocks were fifteen for the last ten years, I'll guess 36 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: half that for the next ten years seven on a 37 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: good day, eight bonds are gonna be a lot lower 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: because their coupon. You can't take rates lower than where 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: we were. And therefore, if rates climb higher, we're gonna 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: road the coupon. So return on and treasury bonds are 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: going to be close to zero. Meanwhile we have the 42 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: US continuing to borrow money. And Tom and I were 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: just talking about how the Hawks have been defeated, have disappeared. 44 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: However you want to frame it, Are we moving towards 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: a modern, modern monetary theory world and what does that 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: mean for markets? I suspect we are in that world, 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: and whether we've called it that or not, look that. 48 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: I think the question I get from financial advisors most 49 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: of the last five years is what about the debt 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: and the deficits? And my response was, and still is, 51 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter yet. You see, interest rates have fallen 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: faster than the debt has gone up, so interest expense 53 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: is a percentage of our economy has actually gone nowhere, 54 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: and therefore it's not been an issue. If we pile 55 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: up the debt, interest rates star climbing higher, then we're 56 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: gonna have a day of reckoning. Bob Dolan, time Keene 57 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: reading a Hio Runner and Bernstein this was a few 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: years ago. And the debt and the deficit which was 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: a gospel, and the confusion of cash in actual royal accounting. 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: Bob Dol, I want to get back to the markets. 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: You know, the acclaimed Ibbotson chart out of Yale University. 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: But within that lower left to the upper right there 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: is rotation. How do you play the rotation of two 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: thousand twenty one after a decade where economic growth globally 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: has been so so at best, which has favored the US, 66 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: our economy, our markets, and our currency. Because we are 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: the most defensive economy in the world, we have fewer cyclicals. 68 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: We are now reflating, thank central banks all over the world, 69 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna have some stronger growth and therefore batons are 70 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: getting passed from growth to value, from big too small, 71 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: from US to non US. What about the battle of 72 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: active in index NVENE really takes both parts of that equation, 73 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: But there's just a general feeling out there about stock 74 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: picking or sector picking, or the value of buying indexes 75 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: or sub indexes. Which is it so in a year 76 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: like last year when the big five stocks outperformed by 77 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: massive amounts, that's a year for the index. If this 78 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: is a year when those have dozen stocks don't perform 79 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: as well as the averages, which is our guests, then 80 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: the average stock begins to do better and active managers 81 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: have a better chance. I think the average active manager 82 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: will outperform well. Everyone wants to be an active manager, 83 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: at least if you take a look at the robin 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: Hood accounts and people sitting home getting their stimulus checks 85 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: and putting them into to individual equity. I was, I 86 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: was looking at one statistic yesterday that a handful of 87 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: penny stocks accounted for a fifth of all US equity 88 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: trading on Monday. How much do you think about that? 89 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: Increased retail presence in equity trading? When you think about 90 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: acid allocation is definitely a force out there. It's a 91 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: narrower group of stocks as you hinted at, and therefore 92 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: you have to know kind of where are they playing now. 93 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: Some of those rebinating investors actually did very well. They 94 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: bought into the decline last March and they bought high 95 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: beta stocks, so they've done reasonably well. We got to 96 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: watch them carefully them. That group, along with the algorithms, 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: create the issues for buying and selling stocks all day. 98 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta be really careful, all right. In meantime, 99 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: you have these I p o s. The tech I 100 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: PO is coming out. We were talking about a firm 101 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: earlier with incredible valuation, some people saying they're worth it, 102 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: other saying signs of froth, including Jeff Gunlock of Double 103 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: Line Capital. Where do you weigh in? I mean, how 104 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: are you playing in some of these I p o 105 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: s At least I think that there is merit to 106 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: the fact that the size of them, the number of them, 107 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: the premium that that they're selling at means we've got 108 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: some speculation. Now it's easy to compare it to where 109 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: we were at the tech dot com bubble. Were nowhere 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: near that level in terms of valuations. Remember there were 111 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: no earnings then, there were a few sales. It was 112 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: priced the clicks, priced the eyeballs. Now we can at 113 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: least touch the revenues of these companies. So I don't 114 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: want to sound the alarm like we could have or 115 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: should have or did sound back Man, Bob Dole, you've 116 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 1: been such a sane voice for participating in the markets 117 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: over the years. Richard Edelman joined us an hour and 118 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: a half ago as well with his famed Edelman Trust Barometer, 119 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: and it's about media distrust, distrust of politicians, distrust wrapped 120 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: around vaccination. I want you to talk about your world 121 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: in the Friday onset of gloom that's out there, you know, 122 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: there's a rule every day the gloom crew comes out 123 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: to beat up Bob Dole. How do we get back 124 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: the trust of Wall Street strategists who have enjoyed this 125 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: blue market? How do we get a belief in that optimism. 126 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take some time, Tom and and 127 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: some returns that are good. Look, last March February March 128 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: destroyed a lot of people's faith in all the things 129 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: you just mentioned. All they had to do is hang 130 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: around or blink. I mean, if you were Van Winkle, 131 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: you thought last year was a good, calm, quiet year 132 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: because nothing really happened from from beginning year to end 133 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: of the year. But of course the the in between, 134 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: volatility kills people's confidence. But volatility is when you can 135 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: make a buck. Bob do I have to leave it there, 136 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: Robert Dole, thank you so much. With nlvin just wonderful 137 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: to kick what we're really good at, Lisa Bram, It's John, 138 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Faraoh and myself. We right to get out front 139 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: and we've got a team that puts together guests and 140 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: then we know when the news changes, when the facts change, 141 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: we tell the guests to change. We can do that 142 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: with Lester Monthson would be gr group with a distinguished 143 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: career in Washington in foreign policy Lester months and we 144 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: learned moments ago from what I think is the most 145 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: important signal from the nascent Biden administration that they will 146 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: take John Fitzgerald Kennedy's US AID program, which has been 147 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: a political football for fifty sixty years, and they will 148 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: restructure it and elevate it to a White House position. 149 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: With Samantha Power, what is President elect Biden signaling Well, 150 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: for the for folks who follow foreign assistance issues and 151 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: soft power and uh and these kind of more obscure 152 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: aspects of American diplomacy, it's terrific news. Samantha Power is 153 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: is a force. She's an intellectual powerhouse. I'm not, and 154 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: she's right about every single issue. But she's dynamic, she's interesting. 155 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: She's going to bring a lot of energy and verve 156 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: to what has been, frankly a sleepy agency in the 157 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: US government. I think it's a It's a huge opportunity 158 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: for President Biden to make a difference around the world, 159 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: particularly the developing world, a place where we haven't really 160 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: been present for the last four years. If we assume, 161 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: whatever our politics, that we are restructuring U s A, 162 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: I d are we going to restructure state? And do 163 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: you look for the same drama from a new State Department? Uh? 164 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: You know, that's a great question. One of the things 165 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: that President Biden appears to be doing is really strengthening 166 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: the NSC, which means he's he's pulling power into the 167 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: White House. That's not great for the State Department. Tony 168 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: Blincoln is a trusted advisor. If he's confirmed as secretaries, 169 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: I expect he will be. That will be a plus 170 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: for the department, But there there could be rocky times 171 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: ahead for the State Department. Lester as a never Trump 172 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: Republican yourself who still considers himself a republic In who 173 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: worked in the Bush administration. How does the the Republican 174 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: Party without Trump distinguish itself from the Democratic Party of today. Well, 175 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: I think there's plenty of issues where that can happen. Uh, 176 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: economic issues, social issues, Uh, foreign policy. Republicans are a 177 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: hawkish national security party. We need to find that voice again. 178 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: It's been modulated and muddied up during the Trump years. 179 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney is as good a carrier of that message 180 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: is anyone. Adam Kinzinger who's going to be supporting her 181 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: in voting for impeachment of the president is another excellent 182 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: voice in that regard. So I see some of these younger, 183 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: more dynamic Republicans are emerging from this chaos. Do you 184 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: think that those younger and more dynamic Republicans will vote 185 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: in tandem with Democrats to get some sort of fiscal 186 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: stimulus through, to get some of other aspects of Joe 187 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: Biden's administration through, even if it's sort of muddies this 188 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: line as they try to re establish their identity. I 189 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: think that's going to be on a case by case basis. 190 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Republicans are occasionally fiscal conservatives, not so for the last 191 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: four years. They seem to be rediscovering that, as they 192 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: often do when they're not in the White House. So 193 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of cynicism there. But I expect 194 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: that Republicans will be more skeptical of massive payments UH 195 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: in response to the pandemic. But but they'll be places 196 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: where Republicans, never Trumpers, and even some pro Trump Republicans 197 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: will find a way to vote with the Biden administration. 198 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: I expect there to be more bipartisanship than people think 199 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: in the next few months, let's do I don't want 200 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: you to game what we see after five pm is today, 201 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: But can the Senate find seventeen Republican votes to convict 202 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. I know that's an 203 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: unfair question to you, but that is the question of 204 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the moment. It is the question is what everyone's reading 205 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: between the lines for It's it's a very difficult goal. 206 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: It's a high bar to get over. The fact that 207 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is out there signaling that he might embrace 208 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: this process is very telling. He does not do things 209 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: on a whim. He would only be sending that signal 210 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: if it looked like there was progress towards that goal. 211 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: Now there's there's plenty of road to go down here. 212 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: Even though it's just a few days. Uh, there's there's 213 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: a lot of work to be done. There's a lot 214 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: of voices we need to hear from. But it does 215 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: seem like things are trending in that direction. I still 216 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: think it's it's probably too difficult to quite get there. 217 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: But we're on the way, you know. I look, we're 218 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: on the way, and you know we're on to do changes. 219 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: I want to circle back luster two. Our foreign policy. 220 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: What again, is there going to be a strategy or 221 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: a theme that you can glean now from Biden foreign 222 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: policy or not. Uh, It's it's hard to say. You know, 223 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: during the campaign and during the transition, the Biden people 224 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: would put out a kind of boilerplate statements saying they 225 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: wanted to restore US leadership in the world. And I 226 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: think those of us who are in the swamp are 227 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: a little more cynical kind of dismissed that. But that's 228 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: a very real thing right now. Given the events of 229 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: last week, the President Biden is going to have to 230 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: take active steps to restore the image, the posture, and 231 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: the leadership of the US. And you're just gonna have 232 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: to do that. It's gonna take one time. Lester, thank 233 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: you so much. Particularly on that breaking news of a 234 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: new U. S a I D program for President elect Biden. 235 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: Lister Munson would be gr group. It is time for 236 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: a reset. We're doing this within the huge distractions of Washington, 237 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: of course, his agony of a pandemic. Michelle Meyer joins 238 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: from Bank of America Securities, Head of US Economics. Michelle, 239 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: and you're a claimed spreadsheet out to June and dare 240 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: I say, out to the end of two thousand twenty one, 241 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: what numbers have you tweaked? What are you changing at 242 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: the margin? Given the just to the outrage of this 243 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: January earth So um he sam hi suka to be 244 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: here this morning, And you know, I think on the upside, certainly, 245 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: it's what you all have been very focused on, which 246 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: is the news coming out of Washington around the prospects 247 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: of additional stimulus UM and the extent to which that 248 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: is passed quickly in the year UM with you know, 249 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: additional quote unquote transfer patments either through unemployd insurance or 250 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: another round of checks or agency and local governments that 251 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: can provide a real big uh you know jold to 252 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: the economy UM in the spring. So that's certainly the 253 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: upside story, and it's an important one. UM. On the downside, UH, 254 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: we have to continue to pay attention to the virus. 255 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: The virus cases are rising, restrictions are ongoing. We did 256 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: pretty clear moderation of growth at the end of UM. 257 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: So it's these these offsetting factors UM, which I think 258 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: are extremely important as we love in few months. I 259 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: want to go back to your first acclaim, which is 260 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: analysis of the American housing market. Is the housing boom 261 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: right now only about the halves removed from this pandemic. Yeah, so, 262 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, I do think part of what's happened in 263 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the housing market reflects the quote unquote case shaped recovery UM. 264 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: The fact that those folks that have been able to 265 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: keep their jobs through this UM horrific time have done 266 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: so with pretty stable wage growth UM and a lot 267 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: of you know, unintentional savings as a result of restrictions 268 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: and the inability to spend on certain services. And that 269 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: clearly has led to greater investment in housing and housing 270 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: gleted items. Whereas those that you know have have had 271 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: a harder time accessing the housing market have been more 272 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: inclined to be renters, have seen greater stress. So I 273 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: do think that's part of the story that said, Um, 274 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: there's been a broad, you know pick up in in 275 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: in housing activity. You know, it's not just the very 276 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: high end of the market. You have seen the movement 277 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: as well on the lower end of the housing market. 278 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,479 Speaker 1: And just looks this morning, mortgage applications uh nearly seventeen 279 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: percent increased week over a week, purchase applications of eight 280 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: percent week over a week, So you know, it looks 281 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: like we're going to be maybe heading into that spring 282 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: selling season with a bit more momentum as well for 283 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: how things given where we are with mortgage rates. So, Michelle, 284 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: when you talk about the K shaped recovery and the 285 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: halves and the have nots, as Tom said very well, 286 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: there's a question of how important the rally and asset prices, 287 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: which really is a feature of the halves is for 288 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: the broader economy for both the halves and the have nots. 289 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: How crucial is it the asset prices continue to go 290 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: up or at least stay high for the economy to 291 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: gain steam. So that's one of the transmission mechanisms I 292 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: guess you may say of monetary policy is that by 293 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: keeping interest rates extraordinarily low, um, they're yes, lowering the 294 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: cross of capital, making it easy to bar, but they're 295 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: also helping to inflate asset prices and build wealth and 296 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: that wells ultimately should be spent to some expense um 297 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: and support the broad economy. UM. So elevated asset prices, 298 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: I would say, is you know, comes with easy or 299 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: financial conditions, which is one of the very important mechanisms 300 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: by which monetary policies supports the economy. Well, I guess 301 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: the reason why I asked this is in light of 302 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: the inflation data that we were just talking about c 303 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: p I, which rends and housing prices are a part 304 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: of There's this feeling that the inflation that we've seen, 305 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: the money that's been printed has gone almost entirely into 306 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: the financial markets and hasn't been able to really trickle 307 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: out into the right into the real economy that much, 308 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: just because so much of it's been shut down. How 309 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: much is it important? I mean, how what's the risk 310 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: here that if we do get a disinflation or a 311 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: deflation of asset prices sell off a bust that could 312 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: really disable the economy in a massive way. So I 313 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: would say there's there's there's yes. Looking at asset prices 314 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: is one important, you know, channel, but also think about 315 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: the money supply that's more kind of the real economy, 316 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: and that reflects the fiscal policies have been put inflation. 317 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: There's been a dramatic increase in the money supplies. None 318 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: of that asset price inflation or the money suffy gain 319 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: has yet to filter in to underlying inflation, but it 320 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: can over time. If it works to support higher economic 321 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: growth and an increase in GDP growth, which ultimately leads 322 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: that browning of labor market um growth and and and 323 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 1: prompt the higher inflation. But that's not the story for today. 324 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: You know, we saw from today's CPI report underlying measures 325 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: of inflation are still extremely teams given that we have 326 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: this lack in the economy. And to your point, what 327 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: if we have, you know, a big kind of sell 328 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: off in the market or this kind of cool quote 329 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: deflation and asset markets. I think it highly depends on 330 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: you know what that looks like. A short term correction 331 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: is fine from an economics perspective. You know, yes, we 332 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: get a little bit hit to confidence, but the link 333 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: in to the economy is fairly limited. But a sustained 334 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: one obviously would be problematic. Bushell Meyer's secretary of and 335 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 1: we'll have to deal with what seemed to be big 336 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: fiscal packages. Does a marginal hundred billion matter? I mean, 337 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: Ethan Harrison, you are wonderful at this. I mean, we 338 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: talked about trillions in the drama of what we say, 339 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: But do you nuance a hundred billion here, a hundred 340 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: billion there? Yeah? Um, you know, the uh the support 341 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: to the economy from fiscal stimula. Right now, Obviously it's 342 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: been extreme the dollars I've been pumped into the into 343 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: the economy, but we would argue that it was necessary 344 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: and probably will continue the necess very. Ultimately that leads 345 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: to a higher deficit, which at some point in time 346 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: the road will be problematic. But I don't think it's 347 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: it's an issue that policymakers are paying too much attention 348 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: to right now, and I would think that that that 349 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: sentiment will be continued as Treasury and the said for 350 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: the next years until the economy has fully deals. Thanks 351 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: so so, I thanks so much, Michelle, greatly greatly appreciate that. 352 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: Right now, folks, this is the most conversation, the most 353 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: important conversation of the day on the mental foundation of 354 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: the market. And let's not mince words, it's founded on 355 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: one stock. We speak to Daniel Ives on what was 356 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: wrought in Cupertino. He's with web Bush. Dan Ives, you've 357 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: left it up two hundred and sixty dollars a share 358 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: an Apple, and I want you to talk about your 359 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: core belief that they will innovate, and Dan Ives, I 360 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: want to go to the latest incarnation the M one chip, 361 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: and folks, I'm not because the time, I'm not going 362 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: to go into this. The M one chip is getting 363 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: rave reviews and the technology zeitgeist. Dan ives, how do 364 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: they do that? That's where the magic happens. And if 365 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: you look at what they've done from the innovation, I 366 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: think M one is a good example. That's a shot 367 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: across about Intel and the semiconductor industry in terms of 368 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: Apple controlling more and more of their ecosystem. And I 369 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: think what you've seen in the stock and you're seeing 370 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: in the innovation really across the whole food chain Apples 371 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: continuing to flex their muscles and expanded more and more, 372 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: especially with the supercycle now a reality playing out. But 373 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: the great great miscall of the Apple gloom crew, Dan Eyes, 374 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: has been the innovation is going to end. And the 375 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: fact is the M one it appears, I'm speaking as 376 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: an amateur, looks like a ball over the wall, over 377 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: the turnpike, over the cask and flagon as well, Dan Eyes, 378 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: that's red Sox talking case you know it. The bottom 379 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: line is, Dan is what is in the pixie dust 380 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: that gives you confidence that they can continue to innovate? Well, 381 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: do a step back into golden and scaled. These the 382 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: best consumed products company in the world. That penetration, we've 383 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: seen it with AirPods, weaving AirPods over nine this year 384 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: you're seeing with the M one ship, and then ultimately 385 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: the next few years we see them partnering on e 386 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: V with the likes of a Volkswagen or hun they 387 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: potentially at Tessa. It just speaks to why our opinion 388 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: a year from now we're looking at a three trillion 389 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: dollar stock for Apple as this all plays out, Remember 390 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: what the haters will hate, but they continue to innovatag 391 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: think evil will see over the next month as they 392 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: continued execute China, that continues to be the win of 393 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: the growth. You have, guys, have no idea. When the 394 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: haters hate, what it means they're danny. Is the garbage 395 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: you get some people anti Apple is well? Is you 396 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: model out a hundred and sixty target and then you 397 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: extrapolate out. I mean three trillion is unimaginable to those 398 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: of two trillion or way back at one trillion as well. 399 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: What are your linear functions look out five years, ten 400 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: years out for Coupertino. Yeah, first to services business. I 401 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: think over the next three to four years. That could 402 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: be worth upwards of two trillions. That services piece of 403 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: loon you know, with which of you, with that trajector 404 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: that continues to be a big part of the rereading. 405 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: Then you look at the golden iPhone hardware ecosystem, I 406 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: think that could be worth you know upwards down your 407 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: heard another's two trillions of three trillion. That's why I look, 408 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: this is a company right now still in the middle 409 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: innings of a renaissance of growth and the supercycle that 410 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: continues to be in fifth gears we're seeing play out. 411 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: What is the impact? I mean, you mentioned the iPhone 412 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: and folks full disclosure, another white bag went through the 413 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: damn door yesterday at home. I mean somebody in the 414 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: house is buying another piece of apple to keep dan 415 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: I's live going. But Dan, what happens if they redo 416 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: and innovate iMac or other products? I mean is that 417 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: in your Excel spreadsheet? I think that's all incremental And ultimately, 418 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: if you look, especially what we see with m one 419 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: ship and some of the other innovation happening in the 420 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: hall of the Croupertino, you further further monetize that that 421 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: just adds to the overall ecosystem for Apple. And that's 422 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: why right now, that is just further monization of that 423 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: install base. Do you agree they should do an automobile? Mean, 424 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: why should they do an automobile if it ain't broke, 425 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: don't fix the model. Well, for e v S we'll 426 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: talk about a trillion dollar market. They're not going to 427 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: be making the automobiles themselves. We believe they partner. We 428 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: talked about b W Hundai, Castle Potentiary, Domler. That's the opportunity. 429 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: You can have the biggest consumer products company looking to 430 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: E d from the outside looking in. It's very simple 431 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: what we've seen with bay Do in China. A golden 432 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: age for e v S. Apples going to dive into 433 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the deep end of the bowl. Danna, if you played 434 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: by the rules as the securities analyst after the joy, 435 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: you've got that paragraph special risks. What's the risk for 436 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: Mr Cook? The risk for Cook it's China and us 437 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: that cold tech board there the poster child. If you 438 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: don't see a ratching down with Biden administration, that would 439 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: be a risk to Apple both supply chain as well 440 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: as the man and of course regulatory I mean that's 441 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: going to continue be a big tech battle, just real 442 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: quick here, Dan Eyes. Then if we get troubles with China, 443 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: what does that do as a percent basis on free 444 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: caslow growth or revenue growth? How do you quantify that 445 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: effect of trouble with China? iPhone demands China and that, 446 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: and you start to play with the map there, you 447 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: could start to see anywhere from three to five percent 448 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: downside to bowl case numbers. And of course supply chain. 449 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: Remember they bet the horse in terms of the fox 450 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: comes without supply chain disruptions. That's why Apple is so keenough, 451 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: the poster child for US China cold tech war. What 452 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: are we gonna see when they report? I mean, they 453 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: come out of the holiday season absolutely unique. I mean 454 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: the pandemics made it original. What's your guestimate of that 455 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: earnings called? I mean, I think this is going to 456 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: be a blockbuster, the Bonde Smith type quarter, and I 457 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see more and more numbers continue to 458 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: move up. And that's when the streets continuing to underestimate. 459 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: In my opinion, Dan, I'm gonna leave it there because 460 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: I've got a reset for an impeachment. Daniel ives with 461 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: some terrific work from wed Bush This on Apple Computer. 462 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast.
