12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: DP at eight fifteen, fifteen minutes ago, um a little

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: bit above but with a revision south. I'm gonna call

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: it a churning. A DP did not move markets in

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: any way, Jordan thousand, but you know the revision off

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. We we we moved to Friday

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: and that early April one, John J. Ports thrilled to

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: tell you that Jim Glassman and Bill Gross will join us,

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: among other worthies. As we look at the American labor economy.

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Right now, we speak with Lindsay pigs Uh on the

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: bombshell yesterday from Cheri Yelling. She is with steeple uh

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Nicholas Lindsay, you're perfect to speak to about good data,

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: bad data, good data, bad data, good day. You know

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: the derby of market economics, Which way is the Fed tilting?

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: Is it a series of bad data points? If you

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: listen to ye Jerry yelling comments yesterday, you certainly think

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: they're airing on the side of focus on that very

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: plugging data, particularly from the consumer side. Her comments were

29
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: incredibly dovish, reinforcing the idea that the FED needs to

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: exercise caution, which really speaks to the idea of lower

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: for longer and really undermine the ability for the Fed

32
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: to even meet that new lowered bar of expected rate

33
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: heikes over the next nine months. Remember in March they

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: lowered that from four down to two. But now it's

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: the question of whether or not they can raise at

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: all this year. So we're looking at jobs data. The

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: preview we get from a DP looking at the private

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: sector at two hundred thousand, a little above consensus last

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: month lowered nine thousand to about two hundred and seven thousand.

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: These are fairly robust job numbers we see month after

41
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: month after month, and inflation ticking up to about one

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: point seven. The question to ask is what is the

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: FED waiting for? Well, I think the employment numbers have

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: been fairly consistent. I would argue against fairly ropebusts. Two

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand is hardly an empressive employment report. I think

46
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: we've only started calling two hundred thousand robusts because the

47
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: bar of expectations has been lowered so precipitously. But you're right,

48
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: we have seen stability in the labor market and as

49
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: the late inflation does appear to be on the rise.

50
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: But we need to see consistent upward momentum in prices,

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: and we've seen that stall in the latest monthly report.

52
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of committee members are still

53
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: airing on the side of caution, saying, yeah, we saw

54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: one to two months of rising price pressures, but that

55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: may prove temporary. We need to see more tangible evidence

56
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: that inflation is a concern as opposed to downside risk

57
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: to inflation. As the global economy seems to remain under

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: significant pressure, so it's all about the wages. It is

59
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: all about the wages, And here too, we seem to

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: be losing a lot of talking points for the Hawks.

61
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: At the start of the year, we had back to

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: back months of above trend wage growth. Remember we were

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: up to two point eight. We slowed to two point five,

64
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: but still back to back months of pretty impressive wave chains.

65
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Now as we look out the Friday, the expectation is

66
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: another month of slowdown to about two point two first sense,

67
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: so really splitting hair when you talk about returning back

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: to the two percent trends. The money question for me,

69
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not exciting for wisdom lendsay, but maybe you

70
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: can give me a guestimate is if we suddenly look

71
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: at a challenge first quarter without cold weather and other distractions,

72
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: we've got trade to worry about. Do you extrapolate that

73
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: slowed out out the second, third and fourth quarter. I do.

74
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we need to extrapolate it out for

75
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: the entire year. We're still looking for about trend two

76
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: percent growth on an annual basis. But certainly what it

77
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: does is it reinforces the idea that the US economy,

78
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: it's still on very fragile footing. As you pointed out,

79
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: first quarter GDP right now is estimated to come in

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: right around a half a percentage point. And there's none

81
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: of the usual suspects to blame. It wasn't early easter,

82
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: it wasn't cold weather, it wasn't uh some sort of

83
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: change attack policy. There really wasn't any catalysts aside from

84
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: weakening fundamentals that have for for really undermined that headline

85
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: acts in the first three months. Lindsey Nice, Thank you

86
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: so much. Lindsay pigs with stephil Nicholas after the bomb

87
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,720

Speaker 1: yield coming in over the last five successions point seven,

89
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: nine to two. Barry Ridholtz, there is a birthday today.

90

Speaker 1: He is he's thirty nine years old. He is one

91
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: of the great voices of an institution that's really been

92
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: knocked around, and that would be the New York Stock Exchange.

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: Mr Paulkari is there every day in the trenches. He's

94
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: one of those people you see folks where you go.

95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: I remember when it was really really busy and there

96
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: were specialists in the romance that Barry got you and

97
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: me into this business. Kenny pol Cary's birthday today. We

98
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: send birthday greetings. But Barry, who does Kenny work for anymore?

99
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's iconic with the New York Stock Exchange.

100
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: It's still there, But for you as a market pro,

101
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: is Ken's world still there? You know? I remember the

102
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000

105
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: All of those outer rooms have been closed. They're hurting

106
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: the few remaining humanoids walking around to one small room.

107
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: It's tumble weeds and television sets and that's pretty much it.

108
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: The flour the Exchange is not where the action is

109
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: actutely happening. It's across the across the river at a

110
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,640

00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,960

Speaker 1: with simple battery in Florida for allegedly we're roughing up

132
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a reporter who tried to ask a question. A new

133
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: survey by the Alzheimer's Association shows many people are not

134
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: prepared for the high cost of home care or nursing

135
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: for a relative with dementia. Many relatives and friends providing

136
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: financial support or care have dipped into their retirement savings,

137
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: cut back on spending, and sold assets to pay for

138
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: expenses tied to the disease. Mark Dunham took care of

139
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: his wife for five years before she died at age

140
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: fifty four. Emotional part of watching her, you know, decline

141
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: from a you know, a vivacious, you know, forty year

Speaker 1: not being able to dress herself anymore, or understanding that

145
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: a shower was important. The average cost of a semi

00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: He explained what happened. I guess it started with a

154
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: bladder infection that created a blud clot in the bladder

155
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,960

157
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: had a little procedure done this morning just to go

158
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: in and check the bladder and everything was clear. So

159
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna pitch two. It is today in the

160
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: Mets final game in Florida, and then as scheduled, we'll

Speaker 1: have not had a good spring. They failed to win

164
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: any of their last twelve games. The Barkley Center Islanders

165
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: shutout in Delander's legal third period. They went through shootout

166
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: and thanks to a Kyleakposso gold and the playoff goalie

167
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: Thomas Gryce, top Carolina two one. I was at a

168
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: four point lead for a wild choir playoffs spot. Devil's

169
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: also won two one over Boston. Not much defense by

170
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: the Nets. Orlando shot sixty the Magic one nine one

171
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: oh five, and I t Semis at the Garden valparasost

225
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: I thanks so much. It is. The following is from

226
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg View opinions in commentary from Bloomberg Column. I'm Paula Dwire,

227
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: an editor with Bloomberg View. It's conventional wisdom that Bernie

228
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Sanders has pushed Hillary Clinton so far to the left

229
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: during the primaries on taxes, trade, minimum wages, and Wall

230
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Street regulation that she will need to pivot hard back

231
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: to the center if she hopes to win in November.

232
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Look past the stump speeches and debates, though, and you'll

233
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: see that Clinton's rhetoric has changed while her policy positions haven't.

234
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: One example is the minimum wage. When Sanders called for

235
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: a nationwide fifteen dollar minimum, she backed a higher wage

236
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: two but hers was for twelve dollars, citing economists who

237
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: say a fifteen dollar floor could lead to job losses

238
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: in some areas. She also allowed that a higher minimum

239
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: wage might work in more expensive cities and states, and

240
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: said they are free to enact one if they choose.

241
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Unlike Sanders, Clinton doesn't call for breaking up big banks,

242
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: a position that might demand modification in a general election. Instead,

243
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: she proposes to close loopholes in the Dodd Frank Law,

244
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: and despite criticism of her well paid speeches to Goldman Sachs,

245
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: she has never vowed to refuse Wall Streets money. Call

246
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: it expediency or call it smart politics. Surprisingly, little of

247
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: Clinton's primary strategy will require her to do an embarrassing

248
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: about base in the fall. I'm Paula Dwire, an editor

Speaker 1: I'm Bloomberg Radio. We think all of our supporters that

253
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: keep us going here. Of course, Investco has made a

254
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: huge commitment. I spent time yesterday with their team and Barry.

255
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: I was absolutely thrilled to meet Megan Walsh. She is

256
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: a world famous within dividend analysis. She's got that rare

257
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: distinction which she actually was a trader before she did

258
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,479
Speaker 1: the cf A portfolio management track. And to get everybody's attention,

259
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: is it okay year today to be in the nine

260
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: percentile or one year nineties six percentile or three year

261
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: ninety third percentile or five year ninety four percentile. That

262
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: gets everybody's attention to that's not too shabby. So Barry,

263
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you the name of the company.

264
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: It's a company we all know, we all use their products.

265
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: It pays a dividend of two point nine, it's got

266
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: a five year dividend growth rate of ten point one

267
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: two percent, but the pe is twenty two. Is Megan

268
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Walsh's world price to perfection. If you're talking about dividends,

269
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: there's a huge spread in companies. Some are modestly priced,

270
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: some are fairly priced, and some are a little pricey.

271
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: And history has told us that when you buy expensive stocks,

272
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: especially dividend stocks, when you overpay for them, that doesn't

273
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: work out especially well over the long haul. And when

274
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: you say work out, and this is so important, folks,

275
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: the distinction between getting killed, which you obviously don't want

276
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: to do, but the other distinct should it should buy

277
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: them fully priced? And then you go nowhere, Yeah you

278
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: when you let's let's let me randomly pick a company

279
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: out there, um like McDonald's, right, and and we haven't

280
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: talked about this. I'm just randomly punched punched it in.

281
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: You have a hundred eleven billion dollar market cap and

282
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: then a forward PE of about twenty five and not

283
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: exactly a fast growth rate growth rate of eight point

284
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: five off of lower levels too. It's hard to see

285
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: how that's a company that that can continue to grow

286
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: with those those levels. By the way, I think back

287
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: a few years ago. And it was just two or

288
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: three years ago when Chapultle was on the rise, McDonald's

289
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: was out of favor. The stock was at multi year

290
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: lows and it was changed trading at a very very

291
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: cheap multiple. If you, if you, if we're not as

292
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: smart as Megan Walsh Vinvesco, I get that. What's the

293
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: strategy for someone who wants to play in the rithols

294
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Meganwash World knows they're not gonna be Megan Walsh, but

295
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: at least they don't want to get hammered. You don't

296
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: have to be smart. You can outsource your thinking to

297
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett. Do I want to be Peter Lynch? So

298
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: if you want to be Peter Lynch, or better yet,

299
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: Benjamin Graham, that's what I mean by outsourced you're thinking.

300
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: They've made it clear, they've proven that when you buy

301
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: inexpensive companies for the long haul, you're gonna do much

302
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: better than when you buy expensive companies. And by the way,

303
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: very often we're talking about the same exact name McDonald's

304
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: two years ago, McDonald's two years forward, very very different

305
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: risk reward pres Look at Microsoft another great example. The

306
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: next idea, if I'm smart enough to buy McDonald's when

307
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: it was a total disaster and now it's twenty five

308
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: times forward or whatever the ratio as you gave. Do

309
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: I hold it and then wait for the buy again,

310
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: or you're gonna do a transaction and find the next

311
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: smartest cheap thing. It depends on where you're sitting. If

312
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: you're sitting, depends on your text, right, if your that's

313
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: what I was, I mean, it depends on what you're sitting.

314
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: Are you holding this in a in a qualified account

315
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: or you hold it in an individual account? Are you

316
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: trading for P and L on a desk somewhere, or

317
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: or are you a long term investor who made a

318
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: goodbye two years ago and are probably better off just

319
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: letting it run for the long haul. It's always hard

320
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: on the radio or on television to say here's what

321
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: you should do. I don't know who you are. I

322
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: don't know what your tax bracket is, I don't know

323
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: how much money you've saved for retirement. I don't know

324
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: what your risk parameters are. So just saying by McDonald

325
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: cell McDonald's doesn't give people a lot of insight. If

326
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: you're in it cheaper and and you're doing well with it.

327
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: There's no reason to cut and run. On the other hand,

328
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: it's a tough stop to buy up at this price.

329
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: But one alternative, and it's that doesn't work so much

330
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: within the oligopolin known as a industry. But one idea

331
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: is if you have a big name and you know

332
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: it's too visible, loved, etcetera shift to a mid cap

333
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: equivalency um right now. So we spoke with Tom Dorsey

334
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: last week. That will be that will be on Master's

335
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: business this weekend. Why did you see that change? Shameless

336
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: plug right there. One of the things that Tom has

337
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: been discussing is the big caps have been dominating for

338
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: six or seven years and at only over the past

339
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: quarter or two have we seen that shift from dominance

340
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: of lodge cap towards small cap. So again, if you're

341
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: a nimble trader and you want to look at better,

342
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: better rivers to fish in, small mid cap might be

343
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: a place to look at. But if you're a long

344
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: term investor and you own these things inexpensively, there's no

345
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: reason to guess that this is the top for McDonald's

346
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: and then try and see what you can find. I'm

347
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: guessing you're too young to remember when people sat around

348
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: with a blue book, which was the SMP bond book.

349
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: The bond guide came every month and your your grandfather

350
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: would drop a cigarette ashes on it as he looked.

351
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: I remember the value line books that used to call

352
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I have a bad right ankle from tripping over a

353
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: thick and you would get one every and there were

354
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: the insucts would come every month. It was like a

355
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: loose leaf bindre. Do you create income now in bonds?

356
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: Do you have to go to prefer its you convertible?

357
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: So it's a philosophical shift. Number one. You have to

358
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: get out of the mindset. You know, my father in

359
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: law who's no longer here, BUTO the New York City

360
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: GEO bonds that were yielding twelve and four and when

361
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: they came up, when the bonds were finally called and

362
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: the tenure was yielding five and a half percent, he

363
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: was very angry. People would be thrilled with the five

364
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: and a half percent. You have to recognize that it's

365
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: no longer days gone by that we've had a thirty

366
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: year bond bull mark sucket the ten years at two percent.

367
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: If you want munis that gives you some opportunities. It

368
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: depends on what state you live in, but it's not

369
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: a high yield environment. Thirty seconds and Bill Gross to

370
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: join us Friday here on Job Today. Were thrilled about that.

371
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: Do you like the concept of unconstrained Do you want

372
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: to know what your portfolio is gonna buy? Or do

373
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: you want to give the privilege to someone who's wise?

374
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: As I'm an asset allocator, so I don't like the

375
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: idea of an unconstrained bonds. I want this guy running

376
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: my my mortgage backed securities, and I want that guy

377
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: running my corporates, and I want this guy running my

378
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: high yields, and I want to make that asset allocation

379
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: decision as opposed to a sort of nebulous thing. Although listen,

380
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: I can't argue with Bill Gross's long term track record.

381
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: It's been He's run into a few troubles over the

382
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: past few years, but his long term forty year track

383
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: record is phenomenal, and on a relative basis, he's had

384
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: a spirited year versus some of his good competitors. Yes,

385
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: Capital is well, this is wonderful, very rid holts with

386
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: us as we do a little more investment because McKay

387
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: and I are economics, economics, economics, all the time. Futures up,

388
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: eleven down, features up one oh four uh, and again

389
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: a two year yield. Oh it's sound flat point seven

390
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: eight percent. Let's have a song for cher yelling as

391
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: we go to another hour of surveillance
