Tom and Mike Caramelsco, thank 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: you very much. Well. As we have been noting on 25 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: this program, the forecast, consensus forecast of analysts is that 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: during the first quarter earning season, energy companies will report 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: a one hundred percent decline in profits. It is the 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: bank reset month when we're going to see a number 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: of credit lines pulled in. A number of energy companies 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: will probably have to either go bankrupt or get bought up. 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: And oil prices back down in the thirties after getting 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: into the forties. So that's a good time read Morrison 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: says to be optimistic about what's happening in the industry. 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: He is the head of the Energy practice at pt WC. 35 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: He joins us, Now read to you say, recovery has started. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: This in a little bit like the old Warren buffet, 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: blood in the streets, uh, the darkest before the dawn 38 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: kind of philosophy. We need to take a look at 39 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: in the time it takes to bring a new will online. 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: We're not talking about hours, we're talking about months. And 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: when you look at the fact that the last year 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: companies have been drilling new wells and then the production 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: levels have flattened out, demand continues to increase, you can 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: just look at that inventory level that's in storage is 45 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: going to be depleted and we don't have the new 46 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: wells coming online, and so that inflection point is going 47 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: to cause the price to start to walk up. But 48 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be slower than historically happened. Slower than historically happened. 49 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: But is it uh? Is the price going to rise 50 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: enough to make buying shares of energy companies worth while? 51 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: It's It's certainly something that we have a lot of 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: confidence in because when you look at the primary thesis 53 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: of buying these energy stocks, it's not so much for 54 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: the exceptional growth you get from a high tech sockets 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: for the dividends. And these old companies have done a 56 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: good job of maintaining some fiscal discipline, they're able to 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: produced the cash flows that investors are expecting. So I 58 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: think that's going to continue to be the case. Read 59 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: what's different about you. It's not biold Cell. At PwC, 60 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: you do fabulous work on the action behind the behavior 61 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: of oil companies. You look at these beleaguered people and 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: you say some are incremental, some are transformational, and some 63 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: are going to reinvent the business. My basic tone off 64 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: your research is the industry still has a lot of 65 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: heavy lifting to do, exactly because the actual muscle that 66 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: exists in these companies has been focused on two primary parts. 67 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: Point is the drilling and exploration side, and then secondarily 68 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: as the completion and production of those wells. And they 69 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: really sized themselves for an exceptional amount of drilling and exploration, 70 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: but as the prices dropped, they haven't had the demand there, 71 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: and being physically prudent, they pulled back in those areas 72 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: that they don't have the need for. And so that 73 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: drilling and expression side is getting a lot of attention 74 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: right now, and so the heavy looking house to come 75 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: is gonna be on that side. And then interesting when 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: you get into the production side, there's a lot of 77 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: nickels and dimes that are still available to be leaned 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: out in the process, and that takes a lot of 79 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: re engineering of the workflows it takes a lot of focus, 80 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: and that is what the companies are doing right now. 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: The companies are doing that. And I don't mean that, 82 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: you know blow. I mean, let's say it's Houston and 83 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: that what will happen to the price of oil in 84 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: reaction to their actions, and what will happen to the 85 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: equity market of hydrocarbon stocks in reaction to their actions, 86 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: is they shift from incremental to transformational changes. It's going 87 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: to be one of those things where they're not gonna 88 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: have access to as much capital to fund the drilling 89 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: programs and expect to be self funding through that cash 90 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: flow side of things. But there's going to be certainly 91 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: winners and losers in that process. But those that are 92 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: proving that they can readjust their portfolio leaning things out 93 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: are gonna get rewarded. As we look at the I 94 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: read that we firmly believe have started. You've got a 95 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: note that suggests a fresh round of mergers and acquisitions 96 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: to begin. But then you say or not, Yeah, it's 97 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: one of those things that's a little bit schizophrenic. But 98 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: you look at all different types of marketing, be the 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: housing market or whatnot. The bid ask spread right now 100 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: is a little bit too wide for the deals to 101 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: be consummated. But as you guys are mentioning, the redetermination 102 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: process that's going on right now actually has a consequence 103 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: for the covenants that sometimes the decision making is not 104 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: necessarily in the hands of the management team, but it's 105 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: a discussion between those that holders and the management team 106 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: that have very clear implications for asset sales. And that's 107 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: what a lot of the players who are looking at 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: this are waiting for that trigger, so that stress point 109 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: is going to be a lot higher going forward. Well, 110 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: how does oil factor into that? I mean, what's the 111 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: correlation of the caution you have, the caution you have 112 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: on oil? What is the correlation uh, the you see 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: to that to the price of oil. It gets into 114 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: the calculus used within the redetermination process. And what they 115 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: do is they take an average to take a barrel, 116 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: and they look at what's the cost to produce it 117 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: takes thirty dollars, and then they look at the last 118 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: six months as the average price for that and they 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: look at that value or that delta, and then that 120 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: comes what is your calculation? And what has happened over 121 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: the last eighteen months is that the last six months 122 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: calculation has had the benefit of a higher price than 123 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: today's price. Now we're in the inverse. So that barrel 124 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: that's in reserved and now being reclassified as a economically 125 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: possible oil coun barrel, now that's not a asset you 126 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: can put on your books. And that delta and the 127 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: calculus within that is what is happening. Yeah, yeah, Mike, 128 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: I think this is just critical, the basic idea critical 129 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: that we see um a calculus word used as a 130 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: complexity here. There's a complexity here. Yeah. Look, we'll continue 131 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: the conversation with read Morrison and uh dive more deeply 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: into that in a moment. Yeah, we'll do that. Read 133 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: Morrison with us with p W Uh see is interesting. Um. 134 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: Note out in the Washington Post just a few moments ago, Uh, 135 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Jeff Emilt really attacking Bernie Sanders, apparently Sanders at the 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: Daily News that g E was one of the companies 137 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: that's destroying the moral fabric of America and Mr m 138 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: L taking extraordinary exception to that.

They won't talk. I mean, I don't 224 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: think Paul Woker is gonna lean over the panel and say, 225 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: Cherry Yellen, are you gonna you know, is it a 226 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: live meeting in April. No. They'll stay away, probably from 227 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: current monetary policy, although you know, you could envision questions 228 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: about uh, the environment and how difficult it might be 229 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: to make policy now compared with other periods of time. 230 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: The one thing which will be delicate is the word measured. 231 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: And I don't mean to associate that with Chairman Greenspan, 232 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: but just the idea of going up in rates to 233 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: a more restrictive policy, or heaven forbid, we ever get 234 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: to a point where we're actually gonna pull them down again. 235 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: Did measured work I think is a fascinating focus to 236 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: go provoker, to go to go back further, Well, I 237 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: mean you got to remember that the FED has changed 238 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: its method of running monetary policy over the years. I mean, 239 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: initially the FED was set up to run the discount 240 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: window UH to discount represented at the FED by banks 241 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: and used the discount rate for many many years. And 242 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: Paul Volker came to office and changed that to the 243 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: money supply, in part because he wanted to get away, 244 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: not he didn't want to have to publicize the fact 245 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: that rates were so high. Then under Alan Greenspan, you 246 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: go back to a policy regime, but this time with 247 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: FED funds, so so many different changes. We have a 248 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: print on the end. One of seven nine was the 249 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: interday low. Right now we're back up and it's a 250 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: nighttime in in Tokyo, so um be interesting to see 251 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: whether the folks at them off are working late and 252 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: want to do some intervention or not. This reminds me 253 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: Mike McKie, Mark Chandler, Brown, Brothers Herriman, who is very 254 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: eloquent about looking at currency pairs versus that blended trade 255 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: weighted I am FI concept. Well, it depends on what 256 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: you want to find out do you want to you know, 257 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: do you do you want to know what the price 258 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: is to exchange your currency for yen because you're doing 259 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: business you need to pay a loan, or you're just 260 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, gambling, betting, or do you want to know 261 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: if you're an exporter or importer, what your cost is 262 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: going to be and how that's going to impact the 263 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: overall economy leggings stronger. Just as one example of the 264 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: complexities here is yen one, which is the South Korean 265 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: juan as compared to the Japanese yen, and it is 266 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: not made a new leg up of stronger yen that 267 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: occurred let me get my cursor out here, that occurred 268 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: in March earlier this year, March third, roughly of this year. 269 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: But we forget it's not just dollar. Yen is the 270 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: global litmus paper. Well, you have to remember too that 271 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: we're talking about different regions that compete in different ways. 272 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: The Japanese are certainly in the market competition in Asia 273 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: with China, with the South Koreans, and so when China 274 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: moves things or change things, Japan is one of the 275 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: countries is affected, and that currency pair is going to 276 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: be affected if there's not news in the United States. 277 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, it still could move on China. There are 278 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: two abbionomics legs, one out of the autumn of twelve 279 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: up to the mayor June of thirteen, and another leg 280 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: August of fourteen up to the beginning of two thousand 281 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: and fifteen. We are now back to that nascent August 282 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: of fourteen. We've basically given up much of the second 283 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: leg of obbionomics. Well, what you want to look at 284 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: is the ultimate goal of obbionomics, which is to raise um, 285 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: the the inflation rate. And while there have been some 286 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: uh slow but steady efforts to you know, some signs 287 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: of progress, they're just not getting there very fast and 288 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: it's not working. I would emphasize well for those of 289 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: you that are not sophisticates in this market, that the 290 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: dollar is still range bound. This is very much a 291 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: yen story d x Y that blended dollar index of 292 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: our old trading partners. It's weaker going into this year, 293 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: but nothing like what we're seeing in the end dynamics. 294 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: And you see that again with euro yen, which is 295 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: three surveillance cups of coffee ago one two, that's a 296 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: whow statistic point seven five. This is really most interesting 297 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: on Japan.
