WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Tiffany Wilding & Keith Lerner

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, single best idea seven

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>conversations Today Today was incredibly strong given the news flow,

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>just absolutely extraordinary. Eric Wasson of Bloomberg and Washington was

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>just absolutely lights out about what now for Washington and

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>our fractured political process. We thank Eric Wasson on a

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>huge schedule issues with the twenty four to seven Washington

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>News for being with us as well. Sam Stove all

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>over CFRA talking bubbles in the stock market really quite good.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>He's enthused. He's looking for higher prices, not like what

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we heard yesterday on S and P five hundred, going

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>from sixty eight hundred to seventy seven hundred according to

0:00:55.360 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Infrastructure Associates, CFRA looks for seventy four hundred, a little

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>less aggressive number out nevertheless optimistic. But then you have

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to know where the GDP statistic is. Tiffany Wilding doesn't

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>know where that is. Here's Tiffany Wilding, a PIMCO.

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>The shutdown will absolutely impact fourth quarter growth. We think

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that one one to one and a half percent is

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>what it could shave off of the fourth quarter. So

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 2>we absolutely could see a negative fourth quarter GDP print.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 2>But nevertheless, as the government has already reopened, that activity

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 2>will come back online and you'll see an offsetting pickup

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>in the first quarter of next year. I think the

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 2>other thing to keep in mind in the first quarter

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>is that you're also going to get refund checks to

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 2>households that are quite large this year, so that will

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>provide also some support to the economy and to consumption

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>in the first part of next year.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>That is a reoccurring theme. Let's pause for that, Tiffany

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Wilding mentioning refund checks of some type. There was legislation

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>in the distant pass of sixteen months ago, guessing and

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that legislation, to many of our guests is nothing more

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>than stimulus. There's an overlay out. I think of Alicia

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Levine at BNY mel And talking about the overlay of

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>legislative impulse of stimulus into the American economy. That's one

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of the cross currents here, all wrapped around, of course,

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>thisnknown unknown of technology and AI, and I'm using AI

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>more and more each and every day. My favorite people

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>ask me what am I using at Bloomberg. I'm using

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Google Gemini. That seems to be what

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we're circling around here. We've got other things as well,

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>and you know, on my phone and such, I use perplexity.

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to Tom Sekunda, one of our founders, who

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>said to me, shut up. Tom used perplexity, and I'm

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>really enjoying it's making me smarter and better each and

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>every day. We were smarter and better at the start

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of the show today from Atlanta. Really excellent. I need

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>to take a moment here. Keith Lerner is a trust

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and what's so important about what he brings to the

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>conversation is he has degrees with a Chartered Financial Analyst

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and the Market Technicians CMT designation as well. So this

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>is someone that dovetails in fundamentals and technicals into his analysis. Forward.

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Keith Lerner on the view forward.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 3>What we try to do to try to keep it

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 3>simple and focus primarily on the trends, the primary trends.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 3>So I try not to do like all the crazy stuff.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 3>What really matters, cut to the noise, and what matters

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 3>to me as I look at the global pictures, we

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>have a global rally underway. We have ninety percent of

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 3>ninety percent plus of global markets in uptrends above the

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty day movement average. And thinking about yesterday, we're seeing

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>like maybe tech takes a little bit of a breather.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 3>There's rotation to other areas, and we have the EFI

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Index making a new high, Emerging markets close to an

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 3>all time high as well. So I think the primary

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>trend is positive, and I think the main message is

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>you have to continue to give that primary trend and

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the benefit of the doubt.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Keith Lerner with Truest of Atlanta and of course across

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the nation as well, on your podcast on Apple, on Spotify,

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube podcasts. Its single best idea
