I got a lovely note 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: from our friend Muhammad Hllarrian, who was in Petco Park 30 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: in San Diego, sees the game yesterday routing the Mets 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: on I congratulated for Douglas Cast to fly into New 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: York from his Florida to see Dodgers.

It certainly isn't a horse 36 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: racing racing? You didn't you didn't like that race on Saturday? 37 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: Or did you lose money? Just the popularity of um 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: of Thoroughbred racing has gone down dramatically since I was 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: a kid. I think it is still the national pastime. 40 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: I have no idea what you were talking about with 41 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: this Newcastle and whatever. You're not following English Premier League 42 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: soccer not lately. Did you ever? Did you ever? Have 43 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: you ever done anything with a five thousand to one odds? 44 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: Never in my life? No, no, Um, it's enough rooting 45 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: against the Red Sox that you know. Being shown the markets, 46 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Um is almost like having to face um your knuckleballer 47 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: Stephen right on the mound every inning, or to pitch 48 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: the big Pappy in the batter's box. And I knew 49 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: this was coming last night as to home runs after 50 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: those lass he calls by the umpire Friday night. When 51 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: you look at this dug and it goes importantly back 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: to how someone deploys capital the Leicester City odds of 53 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: five thousand and one, or horse racing, or are betting 54 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: within the market, And I go to TALEB which is 55 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: little bets on rare outcomes, discuss the doug cast reality 56 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: that you want to be in the market. You want 57 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: to be long or short, and you're not going to 58 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: do it with little bets on rare outcomes, then what 59 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: do you do? What's the cast best act? As an 60 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: addendant to Taib's view, by the less extreme view, I 61 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: would just make the statement, uh, Sir Thomas and Michael, 62 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: that rarely has our world faced the possibility of so 63 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: many previous, previously low probability disruptive events actually happening with 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: the potential to such a high degree of impact, many 65 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: of them at birth. Byron Ween had that had a 66 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: great line. He said that disasters have a way of 67 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: not happening. But I'm worried it's different time. It's different 68 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: this time, and even though Byron is always right, he 69 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: may be wrong this time. The the the gloom over 70 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: the weekend, and folks, for all of you, we say 71 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: this immense respect. One of the great things about Doug 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: cass because when he's wrong, he says so, which is 73 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air. Often well that's often, but 74 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: you know that's the way that you know, I get upset, folks, 75 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: when people want certitude and equity speculation where you know 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: you're like a baseball players, you're gonna be wrong fifty 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: or sixty percent of the time if you're lucky. Doug 78 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: cass why the why the gloom over the weekend versus 79 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: a measured debate of longer short I don't know. I 80 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: don't know what gloom you're referring to over the weekend. 81 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: Many articles come on, many articles saying the world's coming 82 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: to an end, different eight different flavors of the markets 83 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: terrible in the world. And I'm trying to be objective. 84 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: And again it's keeping with the notion that rarely have 85 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: we faced so many outcomes, many of them adverse. Not 86 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: a teleb view of the world, but a more measured, 87 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: sober view of the world. I think that the world's 88 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: markets and global economies are maturing. There are numerous peaks 89 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: I see. It's my view that an important and major 90 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: stock market top began to develop in May of two 91 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen. We had confirmation technically and fundamentally, but 92 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: we have to remember the tops of process is not 93 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: single moments. In time, the market's leadership and breadth has 94 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: narrowed well fundamentally. Obviously, corporate profits have materially disappointed. My 95 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: view is that when I do a range of scenarios 96 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: and probabilities against these scenarios, the market is the SMP 97 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: is about two hundred points over valued or about over 98 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: valued valuations. A stretched the markets multiple on gap earnings 99 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: is a remarkably high twenty four times, and gap and 100 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: non gap differences have never expanded to a record wide 101 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: as they have today. Quantitative failure is talk is talking 102 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: the world, especially in Japan and the US. QWI has 103 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: lost its perspectiveness. So a zero interest rates and negative 104 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: interest rates, I don't believe that the FET is going 105 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: to raise interest FET funds this year. Economic activity, sales, profits, 106 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: and stock prices have been pulled forward because of this 107 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: monetary largesse, which I just explained by the world's central bankers. 108 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: And I think that the two thousands sixteen seventeen economic 109 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: outlook is somewhere between a muddle long and garden variety recession. 110 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: That said, there are many other possible economic and market outcomes, 111 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: but many of them are adverse. I think that the 112 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: period of excess economic and market gains is likely over 113 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: a right, so much there to unpack. I don't even 114 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: know what I said, I but all seriousness, I think 115 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: that we are living and this is really really an 116 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: important and and part of my um. Probably the dominant 117 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: negative market theme is that we're living in this monetary 118 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: policy in Wonderland. Um, non thinking consensus to me seems 119 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: to be the norm these days. And when you combine 120 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: that with the dirty water provided by central banks, the 121 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: crowd is starting to resemble the mad Hatter. And I 122 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: think that history books are going to be written about 123 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: this period in complete bewilderment about monetary policy, and they're 124 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: gonna say something like this, Um, let me see how 125 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: to phrase it. Did investors really invest in bonds or 126 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: basically bankrupt countries that printed money to make interest payments 127 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: and to buy bonds they just issued in falling currencies 128 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: which allow for more bond issuance due to more spending 129 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: in debt issuance. And not only did they not get 130 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: interest for doing so, but they paid said governments for 131 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: the right to do so. Did this really happened? Did 132 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: they really invest the million dollars to get back N 133 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars ten years later? Where invest is 134 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: really that stupid? Well they aren't, Nielsen. Michael McKee talking 135 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: about this today from Denmark and you to Credit today amazement. 136 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't like what the central banks 137 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: have done, but like I, I gotta ask, is it 138 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: is this an unusual time? I mean, as Rosanna res 139 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: in Adana would say, it's always some, it's it's always something. 140 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: So or is it that in an age where information 141 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: is so widely available instantaneously, that the markets are just 142 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: so much more sensitive to what's raises the danger? There's 143 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: a great and that's a great question. I do know, 144 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: like Rosanna Danna, with every conflict, whether it's in the 145 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: EU or it's a geopolitical event, you do get another 146 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: Rosanna Danna expression, never mind, and the market comes right 147 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: back into the highs. Doug cast, help me with where 148 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: the risk free rate is? We all, whether we're long short, 149 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: whatever our belief, we have an anchor like a keel 150 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: on a boat, and an anchor is the risk free rate? 151 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: The interview and because that's the hardest thing, because you know, 152 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: when I went to Lorton and got my m b 153 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: A a a couple of years ago, UM, we dealt with 154 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: discounted cash flows and we used a risk free rate 155 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: of return assumption. And the problem is no one knows 156 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: what that verstory rate of return is, so in large 157 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: measure we get the sort of volatility that we have 158 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: seen in the last uh sixteen or twenty four months. 159 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back with Doug cass right now.

Um, 247 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, once again we're learning that you cite Mr 248 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: Ackman and the ugly Friday he had, But but there's 249 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: just something about we all know we need to be diversified, 250 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: but then you can be too diversified. What's the right 251 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: cast prescription for diversification? Well, I think in an certain 252 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: economic and market environment, UM diversification UM gains UH with 253 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: apologies to Bill Ackman and Warren Buffett gains greater credibility UM. 254 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: And that's diversification across UH in terms of company exposure, 255 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: but also importantly across industry exposure. So I think you 256 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: keep a higher degree of cash and you no only 257 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: have and you become ever more diversified rather than more concentrated, 258 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: as we have learned Pershing at Pershing's the lack I 259 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: suffered from you know this hedge, this Polish hedge of 260 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: being long, valiant and short um herbalife. Yeah, I don't 261 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: know if that's a true hedge. Duck Cass, you were 262 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: honored by one W. Buffet to join the suare in Omaha. 263 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: When was that two years ago? Three years back when 264 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: the Red Sox were in the last place right? Yeah? 265 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: Within the media manipulation of Mr Buffett in Berkshire, Hathaway, 266 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: what is the value gained from their unique annual meeting UM? Well, 267 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: first of all, it's appearing physically and watching them is 268 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: losing its value because now you have live stream available, 269 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: which I went on in lieu of going to Omaha 270 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: which is a pain in the neck because it's hard 271 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: to get there because the plane is sold out. Um 272 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, there will never ever be another Warren Buffet. 273 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: I think that structurally, um uh it will. It precludes 274 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: another Buffet and Manger, So his pearls continue to come 275 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: out of his mouth even though he's going to be 276 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: eighty six in August, and obviously Manger will be nineties three. 277 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: And his common sense approach to investing is and and 278 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: his and and his ideas of how to become a 279 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: better investor. For example, read everything you can possibly read 280 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: a very simple um solutions and and and fixes to 281 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: becoming better investors. Well, and I a better investor if 282 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I own a price to perfection dividend growing consumer stock. 283 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: That seems to be all the rage now is we 284 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: hunt for yield equivalent growth? How do you handle somebody's 285 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: four one K that is not loaded up but has 286 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: a wide percentage of these quality stocks. These quality stocks 287 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: are accorded extraordinarily high, at least on the stark basis valuations. 288 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: So I don't think quality equates necessarily as it relates 289 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: to consumer stables um as superior investment returning vehicles. What 290 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: what what could go wrong in your scenario going forward? 291 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: What can go in? What you go right? Since I'm 292 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: negatively yeah, okay, what can the white Swan is that 293 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: this uh, this eight year period of zero interest rates 294 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: and increasingly needly negative interest rate policy around the world 295 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: produces um um trickles down, serves to trickle down to 296 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: the average Joe, and uses escape velocity and self sustaining 297 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: economic growth around the world. But I simply don't see it. 298 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: I see um. You know, I don't see it. You know, 299 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: the market to me, Apple is to me apples, My 300 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: law has been my largest short as you know, Tom 301 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: Apple to me is sort of a metaphor for the market. 302 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: I can't see a pivot at Apple. I don't see 303 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: any new product um um needle moving a new products 304 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: for Apple. I only see an endless victory lap at Apple. 305 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: And the same applies to the stock market. I don't 306 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: see a re acceleration of global economic growth. I see 307 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: more malinvestment, and I see increasing chances of you know, 308 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: we've had four We've had four consecutive years of disappointing 309 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: corporate profit growth.
