0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>we welcome all of you here into the holidays shortened week.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll be with you Monday and Tuesday and then off

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to take some time off for the holidays. One of

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>our big great themes for next year is for Single

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Best Idea to be the bolt on podcast for you.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to say the big take twenty minutes with

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>David Gurra or others, and here it's just four minutes,

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>five minutes, just two vignettes out of all the good conversations.

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 1>We have an economics, finance, investment, and international relations. A

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>very strong Monday today, and then you get lucky and

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>time Posner scheduled on the Red Sea. Of course, with

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that horrific US Navy accident of jet shot down by

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a friendly fire over the weekend. But no, the President

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>elect mentioned Panama. Anton Posner is at tours of duty

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>with the Maritime Academy in Panama. Really knowledgeable on the

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>stereotypes we have back to Teddy Roosevelt and the canal.

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Anton Posner of Mercury Resources on the drought in Panama.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Actually the drought is eased up. Ships are moving more

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>along normal At this point, I think normal off top, Matt,

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I think forty ships a day moving through It is

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 2>a huge, huge savings to go through the canal via

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>going versus going around.

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that a vital interest of America that forty ships

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>go through or is it from a movie set from

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>another time and place?

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>More? Absolutely critical? Vital to be able to send warships

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>cargo ships to deal with national emergencies much faster than

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 2>needing to go than having to go around southern tip

0:01:54.480 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>of South America is vital and critical to American national security.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Of time, Posner, Mercury Resources, Paul Swanian and I really

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>learned a lot there, taking us beyond that iconic David

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>McCulloch book on panamav from over forty I can't believe

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying this over forty years ago. There are other

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>people booked for the holiday season, and that must be

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Dana Telci at the Telsi Advisory Group. And then a

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>headline is handed to me by Lisa Matteo that says

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Nordstrom's of Seattle will finally go private. I'm not going

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to go into the details of the transactions, but the

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>family finally throws in the towel on a publicly traded stock.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea how they'll work it out. Is

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a private company, but an iconic moment. Dana Telsea of

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the Telsa Advisory Group on Families and Retail.

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 3>The privatization of a family run business that's been around

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 3>for over one hundred years is definitely a spark of change.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 3>I think the new environment today is different than it

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.839
<v Speaker 3>was in the past, and you have to give Nord

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 3>credit for all that it's accomplished, but the go forward

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 3>environment requires big changes, and whether it is a reduction

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 3>in the number of full line stores they have, the

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 3>acceleration of what may be for the rack, the continuous

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 3>pursuit of new and curated brands and their assortment, and

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>for all what we know about Norstrom, the service element

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 3>and the loyal customers they have is something that needs

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>to be expanded and accelerated. Go forward.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Dania Chelsea, the Chelsea Advisory Group. She was also looking

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>into twenty twenty five. I thought sort of plus plus

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>on luxury as well. We touched on that briefly. Thank
