Very plase to say that. Mark Shannon joins us. 7 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: You've got a new shop. Mark, just talk to me 8 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: about what you're up to now. Yeah. So I recently 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: joined our Bannockburn Global Foreign Exchange, which is based in Cincinnati. 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: They specialize financial services private equity midsize corporates. I'll get 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: to do a lot of the same kind of thing 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: that I do analyzing the global capital markets, but for 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: a different client base, more private equity corporations, as opposed 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: to where I was before, where I'd be focusing more 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: on the asset managers. Talked to me about what you 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: tell them about the mess that's emerging in Europe. Once again, 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of a classic European confrontation between populace and 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 1: this time in Italy, and between unelected officials in the 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: European Union. We have the finance minister Germanic tria Um 20 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: go up against some of the other finance ministers in Europe. 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: In the last twenty four hours his country's fiscal push 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: meeting a European Commission head that compared what was happening 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: to taken us towards a Greek style crisis. Yeah, I 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: think it's a bit over the topic. That's younger for you. 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: I think he often has these kind of over the 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: top type of comments. I do think that there is 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: a confrontation brewing, but I'm not sure it's really going 28 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: to be on the on the level of Greece. I 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: think that both the Italians have learned something, but also 30 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: the EU has learned something from Greece, and that is 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: that the fiscal austerity could be counter productive. And I 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: was saying before, is that what I think that Italy 33 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: needs the most is growth and can and that means 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: that Austeria might not help growth because here's what really happened. 35 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: When you look at the different charts and you compare 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: what happened in Italy, growth is really the deficit. That 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: is to say that they really under forming in growth. 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: And if this new fiscal plan can help stimulate growth 39 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: by having a flatter tax for something like a million 40 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: households fifteen percent tax, and if they can have some 41 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: more social spending the ideas that can lift growth and 42 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: thereby reducing the debt to GDP through stronger growth. The 43 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: market right now is not pricing a positive outcome. We 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: haven't had a day of games for the euro since 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: last Tuesday, so it's been about a week. Has just 46 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: been weaker Euro story bleeding through. Italian bonds are taking 47 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: a bit of pain as well. The class half full 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: approach to all of this is that maybe the moves 49 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: outside of Italian bonds are mild. Maybe the moves outside 50 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: of Italy are mild. But the glass half empty approach 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: to all of this is that correlations are picking up, 52 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: and you can see the correlations picking up with Italy 53 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: and what's happening in Italy? Does that concern you? Concerned me? 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: But I would really tell the story a little bit differently. 55 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: The key thing I think that made the dollar turn 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: last week was not what was going on in Italy 57 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: that didn't happen until the very end of the week. 58 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: Would happen was a Federal Reserve met and confirmed that 59 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: they will not only tighten another time in December this year, 60 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: but they're sticking with three hikes new next year, and 61 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: the e c B says, sorry, we're not gonna be 62 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: able to raise rates until the end of next summer 63 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: at the earliest, and the Bank of Japan seems nowhere 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: near close to raising interest rates. So I think that 65 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: what the Federal Reserve did was singnal the continued divergence. 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: And then the other factor that I would about to 67 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: put as part of this story is the huge ralliant 68 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: oil prices another leg up today, and this is because 69 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: I primarily supply concerns, and here's you know, people are 70 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: talking about how Trump is succeeding with his tactics with 71 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: South Korea NAFTA two point oh, but one area that 72 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: has been very successful is getting countries to participate in 73 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: this embargo when it's not just countries around Iran, but 74 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about France and the Netherlands cutting back on 75 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: their oil from from the Iranians a month ahead of time. 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: And so I think that the supply concerns, So what's 77 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: the problem here? Strong dollar because of fed higher oil prices, 78 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: wagon emerging markets, and the Italian story. I mean, is 79 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Chairman Paul's central banker to the world, central banker to 80 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: emerging markets, but it's also sent banker to the oil cartel. 81 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean again the professor, he alluded to that in 82 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: the press conference. Maybe we'll talk more about it in 83 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: speech today at the National Association for Business. But he 84 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: is central banker to all these interplaying features, isn't he. Well, 85 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: I I don't know if he'd say he's central banker 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: to that, but I would say, is that what happens 87 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: in the US still matters for a lot of these 88 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: contest I mean, it does not have to take into 89 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: account what happens to Saudi politics as a Saudi real 90 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: when it makes policy. I mean, John, let me do this. 91 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know how how on what I'm doing brand? 92 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring it up here just a log 93 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: chart of of of brand and I'm sorry, since the 94 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: middle of August, it's a straight line up. Yeah, I mean, 95 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of persistence to the trend. Is 96 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: this drip drip going on? It's like the Chinese water 97 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: torture on emerging markets. And what it is is a 98 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: stronger royal price, stronger dollar and just the heel to 99 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: the United States just keep climbing, and the Federal was 100 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: of is not backing away from great hikes. Do you 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: have a more constructive view on AM with that as 102 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: your backdrop? Unfortunately it's difficult to write I think so, 103 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: I think that, But here's what it gives me the 104 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: idea though, that why I think I'm still pretty negative 105 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: on EM. It's not just because of these macro forces, 106 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: but every so often I hear from my emerging market 107 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: analysts and context that time to pick a bottom. And 108 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: so we just had one of those phases, maybe it 109 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: was about three or four weeks ago where the emerging 110 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: where a lot of these emerging market alliss said, oh, 111 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: we're cheap value now, so let's uh, emerging markets are goodbye, 112 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: and so the same thing with Italian bonds. I think 113 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: it was one of the largest asset managers had had 114 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: up there up there portfolio investment in Italian bonds just 115 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: for just in time for this to happen. But there 116 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: is a price of the story. In the price of 117 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: the story in the m has got pretty cheap. And 118 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: within sort of emerging markets, you've had some pretty aggressive 119 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: rallies and pockets of emerging markets in various securities, various 120 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: foreign exchange markets, various currencies, and Mark there must be 121 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: some opportunities there that you've identified. There are opportunities, but 122 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: from from from my point of view, I think medium 123 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: term investors, it's too early to go back into emerging markets. 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: You say, well, there's value there. I say, yes, there's value, 125 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: but it's going to give be more value shortly. Well, 126 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: I guess it depends what how you wear and give 127 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: you a short term sort of FX trade to date trade, 128 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: and then maybe there's some opportunities out there. You're thinking 129 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: more about digging a hole and starting a business in 130 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: some of these countries at the moment, Mark, I would 131 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: put I I take your point that for short term 132 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: traders there there's I mean, there's enough volatility and emerging 133 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: market currencies to have a short short term punt. But 134 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: for long term people are thinking about their pension funds, 135 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: people are thinking about endowments. I think too early for 136 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: emerging markets. I'd be more comfortable maybe the middle of 137 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: next year, but I think the Federal Reserve will be 138 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: darned nearly done with the great hikes. Mark Chandler grant 139 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: To can't shove the Banic Burnt Global for X, Chief 140 00:06:45,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: market strategist and managing partner. Some of our guests are deceptive. 141 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: They like to drive things down to simple concepts, usually 142 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: simple concepts that provide couraging crisis, that provide UH, the 143 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: ability to be in the market when you should be 144 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: in the market, and even if there's pain, you're there 145 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: and you're organized. But what is very deceptive is underneath 146 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the simplicity, there's a lot of first order principles in 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: a lot of academics. He's out of Lehigh University, out 148 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: of Wharton, UH, and he's not only a c f A, 149 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: but also very cool a certified public accountant as well, 150 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and that would be Robert Dahl of Duvin Bob. I 151 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: mean c f A, c p A. What how did 152 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: your brain get through that? I mean, I've never gotten 153 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: debits and credits, right, I guess I have nothing else 154 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: better to do but read a book and study and 155 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: take it. That's my friend. Well, it's a very cool 156 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: set of academics around it. Take the academics now to 157 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: this market at it. I mean in terms of like 158 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: like cap em and all the rest of the mumbo jumbo. 159 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: How do you stay in this market. You stay in 160 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: because you recognize that we've got an amazing earnings profile. Yes, 161 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: for the Bears, it's a decelerating but it's still gonna 162 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: be plus twenty instead of plus twenty five. That's all 163 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: pretty good news. Um. Look, they're gonna be bumps along 164 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the way. Valuation is no longer cheap. We've got a 165 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: little competition. We're getting little expensive versus the rest of 166 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: the world. So you know these things that will bite 167 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: at the edges, I think without question, But you still 168 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: want to be there. This bullmark is okay, Okay, fancy guy. 169 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: Let's John, let's dazzle people here with the y intercept 170 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: on the y axis. Okay, I'm talking to Courtney down 171 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: to Georgetown and we're talking lord linear cap M theory. 172 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: The fact is it's hinged on a straight line, sitting 173 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: on the Y axis, and that is the anchor called 174 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: the risk free rate. I think a lot of our 175 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: our listeners understand the risk free rate. Bob dal do 176 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: you have a clue where the risk free raiders? Does 177 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: Jerome Powell know where the risk free rate is? I 178 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: think no one knows, and it does seem to be 179 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: moving around. Um, and we're getting closer to it. That's 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: why the Fed conversations are getting harder. We've been in 181 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: a period for the last couple of years, as you know, 182 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: where um, the Feds in the process of normalizing, so 183 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, next meeting, they're gonna meet and they're gonna 184 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: raise rates next meeting, and then went on or on. 185 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: We're getting to the point now we're approaching neutral, whatever 186 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: that number is, and therefore these conversations get a little tougher. 187 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: What told to me about the competition for capital that 188 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: just comes from vanilla generic tea bills two more than 189 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: on a one month tea bill a five year note 190 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: now with a yield of almost three percent? Bob, is 191 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: there some real competition for capital in a white that 192 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't twelve months ago. Yeah, it's emerging competition. Look, 193 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: I think I'll get better than that in the stock market. 194 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: But the number you gave me is no longer zero. 195 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: You know, it was a while where where cash returned 196 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: close to zero and I could get a two percent 197 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: yield in the stock market, plus capital appreciation as earnings 198 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: came through. And we're beginning to creep in with some 199 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: other conversations it's not the only asset in town anymore. Well, 200 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about the portfolio construction then, Bob, and coming forward, 201 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Tom talks about the risk free Right, there's some real 202 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: talk that the risk might be in the risk free asset, 203 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: which is the treasury market, another bond market as well. 204 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: And then the next down to maybe they won't offer 205 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: you that hedge, bobbab we are we having that discussion now? 206 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Is it's still too early to have that discussion. I 207 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: think it's early because I can't see a recession out 208 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: my window. Um, you know, we'll get another recession, but 209 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: I'm enjoying and trying to figure out where to be 210 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: where the earnings are going to come from. But yeah, 211 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: we're unlikely to get in the next downturn, returns on 212 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: cash like we typically do. Rates will peek at a 213 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: lower level than we're used to. All they say, Bob Doll, 214 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: if you look outside Bob Doll's window, he's got checked 215 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: up the ibbots and chart back to up X. But 216 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: to that point, Bob and the one of the most 217 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: famous good morning Mr Ibbots and Professor Ibbotson. If you're 218 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: listening up Yale, Bob Doll, what's really serious here is 219 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: we've forgotten what a correction is. We've got we've forgotten 220 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: what a bear market is explained to our audience. Where 221 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: part of the game is you have to withstand the 222 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: emotion of bear markets. You and I haven't had that 223 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: conversation in about fourteen and a half years now. We haven't, thankfully, 224 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: we haven't had to the bottom line and the most 225 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: simple way to put his thocks do go down um, 226 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: and it's usually accompanied by, uh, some sort of problem 227 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: with the economy, which I repeat is not visible yet, 228 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: but we will get there. And uh, you have to 229 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: know what you own. You have to know what your 230 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: time frame is. You know, somebody said to me recently, 231 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, can you tell me what to buy um 232 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: if my time horizon is to the end of the year, 233 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, cash, because because in lots of 234 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: short term period stocks go down. Um. You'll look at 235 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: those same ibits and charts and you look at the 236 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: annual numbers and you'll find out stocks go down um 237 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: more than of the years um. So we are so 238 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: so spoiled because it's been such a beautiful ride. And 239 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: it brings to mind financial advisors some who say, you know, 240 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm just buying the index fun or I'm just buying 241 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: the ETF because they're safe. This word is really important. 242 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: John Farrells spoiled. It's unfortunately accurate. I'm as guilty of 243 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: it as anyone all of us. I mean, we've had 244 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: six straight years of valuation appreciation. He's going up six 245 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: straight years. We're breaking that trend this year. Six in 246 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: a row has never happened before. The fixes back to 247 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: oh no, what a world. Yeah, I'm just a round 248 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: thing down, even though I've come back and forth on 249 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: this before. There's a difference between peat margins and peak markets. 250 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: Is that something that you're kind of pushing the clients 251 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: at the moment as well? Yes, yes, yes, I hear 252 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: a lot of bearish people say, well, peak earnings, we've 253 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: grown twenty five percent, that's going to decelerate. Therefore I 254 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: should sell stock careful. If plus twenty five earnings goes 255 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: to minus five, yes, sell some stocks. But if we're 256 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: going from place to plus twenty, not so fast. Can 257 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: you own the banks here, and Mr Doll, I can. 258 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: Here's my problem. They're still so over owned and overbelieved. Yes, 259 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: they're pretty cheap. Yes, the fundamentals are reasonably good. They're 260 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: not perfect, but there as they've been since the first 261 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: of the year, overbelieved and overall. I can't get out 262 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: of a meeting with a bunch of financial advisors where 263 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: they don't ask what about the banks? I need that 264 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: question to stop being asked before I can really get interested. 265 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: Bob Doll, thank you so much, greatly appreciate it. With 266 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: vine Ford, you know, it's for them to say that 267 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: about the hurricanes is a big deal. It's got to 268 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: be a huge to tell people. This is about the 269 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: decline in sales last month eleven percent down versus the 270 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: estimate for nine Once again, Ford Motor September, US vehicle 271 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: sales decline eleven point two seventy F series trucks made. 272 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: And you wonder how much of that has made in Canada, 273 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: how much is made in Mexico or the United States? 274 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: Trade yesterday Here is Christine Leguard. The impact is there already. 275 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: And if you think of, you know, the the the 276 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: impact that all the measures that have been floating around 277 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: would have on global growth, then you're really talking about 278 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: a major risk that would impact particularly China, because it's 279 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: obviously one of the targets and the main target, but 280 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: also all the other countries that are part of the 281 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: supply chain or that provide raw materials. So you're talking 282 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: about emerging market economies and many low income countries as well. 283 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: Were a lot of the hardship and the difficult decisions, 284 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: and the financing is so badly needed. You know, how 285 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: can we advocate domestic revenue mobilization in countries of sub 286 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: Saria and Africa if they can no longer participate in 287 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: trade or supply chain organizations because of the threat applying 288 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: to trade at large, the larger threat. And to bring 289 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: it to this weekend in Canada and the United States, 290 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: the U S m c A. I read to write 291 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: it down here, it's such a new phrase for me, 292 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: and I understand becomes Y m c A. It's US 293 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: okay within this and within U S m c A. 294 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: Now I got the song in my head. Now I'm 295 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: not going to dance. That won't work out. And I 296 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: would take um if I look at US m c 297 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: A and I look at the dictate of what President 298 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Trump is very clearly advocated. It is an effort that 299 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: brings in Canada, brings in Mexico, and I don't want 300 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: to get you in trouble. You're gonna ask, did Canada 301 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: and Mexico came into the rhetoric of President Trump? And 302 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: is that something we're going to see in the coming 303 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: years as a president looks at multilateral and brings it 304 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: over to a unilateral approach. You know, It's it's hard 305 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: for me to say and to make any comment about 306 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: the agreement because we haven't had a chance to review 307 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: It's I've read the same articles as you, but it's 308 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: been in the making for thirteen months, so it's it's 309 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: it's obvious that there must have been back and forth 310 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: bargaining trade off and that's it's the whole point about negotiations. 311 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: Two things that I'm quite pleased about. One is um 312 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: it ex ists, and to have this tree lateral agreement 313 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: trilateral agreement between Mexico, US and Canada, is I think 314 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: a very positive I'm encouraged with that because not so 315 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: long ago, many but many of us were in fear 316 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: that there would be nothing. So there is an agreement. 317 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: Number one. Number two, what I hear is that the 318 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: services are also partly or entirely I don't know. I 319 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: haven't read it yet. Covered and I think that is 320 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: really showing the way that TPP, for instance, was was doing, 321 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: in other words, expanding beyond the products that cross borders 322 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: to services that also do, but not physically because many 323 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: of them are are digital. There is a lot of 324 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: upside to be had from services being included in the 325 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: reduction of barriers. Christian Leaguard at the International Monetary Phone PIM, 326 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: this was a really interesting meeting. This was the kickoff 327 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: to their annual meeting in Indonesia in three years. It's 328 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: in Marrakech, with Indonesian authorities in the front row in 329 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: their embassy as well, of course, shattered by the earth 330 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: by natural disaster. We're literally in the in the green 331 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: room in the back, and the Ambassador of Indonesia sentence 332 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: regrets because he had an emergency meeting with their foreign 333 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: minister as well. So there was a whole overlay of emotion. 334 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: And you had one part the i m F brass 335 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: one part i m F staffers, and also a lot 336 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: of Bloomberg surveillance guests and hosts in Economics and Politics 337 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: of Washington, Douglas Holds Econ among others of the CBO 338 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: there listening for the nuances you know the speech, Um, 339 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: they're listening there for one or two sentences of what's 340 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: the tone towards the world economic outlook next week? And 341 00:18:50,040 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: of course her thoughts on all this trade issue, film 342 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: Flis and Tom Keane on Amazon, and on the state 343 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: of our labor economy. Without question, our interview of the day, 344 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: if not of the week, is Alan Krueger of Princeton University. 345 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: I put him in a category with a Nobel laureate 346 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: Michael Spence, in that there's an exceptionally broad spectrum of 347 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: economics and social studies that Professor Krueger does, but he 348 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: is definitive Card and Krueger on the minimum wage, Alan Krueger, 349 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: were you surprised at Jeff Bezos set a fifteen dollar 350 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: minimum wage level for Amazon nationwide. I think he did 351 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: the right thing. Um. I think what Amazon has done 352 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: is what one expects of a responsible large company, especially 353 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: at a time and the economy is doing so well. 354 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: I think this is also an indication that wages are 355 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: determined by more than just the blying demand, that companies 356 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: have a lot of discretion over how much they pay 357 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: their workers. Within this, Alan, is that maxim and the 358 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: fear that if you raise the minimum wage, all other 359 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: wages grow up, go up rather and labor and employer's 360 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: lose control of their income. Statement, is that a legitimate fear, 361 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: Whether it's a success of Amazon or it's a mom 362 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: and pop shop in New Jersey barely getting by well, 363 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: I think it's a sign of a healthy economy that 364 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: we're going to see wages rise. Wages are gradually picking 365 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: up flower than you would expect given the unemployment rate 366 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: below four percent, And of course you need to balance. 367 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: You don't want wages to be so high that it 368 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: puts businesses out of business. But I don't think we're 369 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: at much risk of that right now. Alan Cruger, could 370 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: you share with people a little anecdote or story about 371 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: your work comparing restaurant jobs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania 372 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: and what you learned. Sure, what David cart and I 373 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: discovered twenty five years ago was that the traditional UH 374 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: supply and demand model at I was taught, that I 375 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: taught my students is much more complicated in real life, 376 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: and study after study has found that minimum wage increases 377 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: don't reliably have an adverse effect unemployment. The job markets 378 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: much more complicated when employers pay higher wages, they have 379 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: lower turnover, they have higher productivity, they find it easier 380 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: to recruit workers and fill vacancies, and these effects can 381 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: offset the traditional demand side law of demand effect of 382 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: a higher wage, possibly putting downward pressure on employment. If 383 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: that's the case, why don't you see a revision in 384 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: the way experts and economists who advised the government, Why 385 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: don't they revise their description of what a minimum wage 386 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: increase would do. I think this is one error where 387 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: we have seen major change in the economics profession and 388 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: in public policy since our work. The governments in the 389 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: UK and Germany have imposed nationwide minimum wages substantially above 390 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: the US level. I think the way the minimum wages 391 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: presented in textbooks is much more balanced now, much more 392 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: even handed. Explains that the job market is not perfectly competitive, 393 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: that employers have market power, that bargaining power, monopsony power, 394 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: the ability of companies to have disgression over wages influences 395 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: the job market. Professor, as you do so well. You 396 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: mentioned the word which is a confusing word, folks. This 397 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: is how you move from a B minus to a 398 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: C minus under Krueger and economics is try to tackle 399 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: monopsony okay Alan. It's a rubber plantation in Singapore where 400 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: the British plantation owner controls the price, the labor wage 401 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: and everything of all the people pulling the rubber out 402 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: of the trees. That's the classic British model. Bring that 403 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: over to America now, where we read the stories and 404 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: the fabulous stories uh in the Atlantic magazine about the 405 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: gig economy, about moving cardboard boxes around Manhattan, about Uber 406 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: and all that. Is the gig economy so much an 407 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: atomization of labor that it's going to drive us to 408 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: a new minimum wage ethos. Well, I think the gig 409 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: economy is more competitive than uh, say, an Amazon fulfillment center, 410 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: more competitive in the sense that there's much easier entry 411 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: and exit. But the gig economy is still maybe one 412 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: percent of employment in the US. I think it's uh 413 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: not even the tail wagging the dog. It's it's um 414 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: barely having an impact on the aggregate economy. What's much 415 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: more important. Our companies like Walmart and Amazon the largest employers, 416 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: and they have kind of a moat around them, you know, 417 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: they are a bit of an island to themselves, and 418 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: they have the ability to uh influence how much the 419 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 1: workers are paid. They're not just passively taking so at 420 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: least is critical in the new technology. In my michaelmbusians 421 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: capture by one or two large players. They have monopximistic 422 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: tendencies where Amazon or Apple or others control the wage 423 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: because there's no alternative job. Is that true. I think 424 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: that there's limited alternative jobs. It's costly for workers to 425 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: make make a move. You know, the fact that Amazon 426 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: did this by setting a minimum wage is fascinating because 427 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: they could have said, we're just going to raise wages 428 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: across the board by tem percent, that's what the competitive 429 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: market is. But this is broader than sort of tailoring 430 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: wages to the competitive market. This is UH saying we're 431 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: going to be a responsible employer. We think the low 432 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: wage workers deserve a higher higher income um and I 433 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: think one of the reasons they weren't having that higher 434 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 1: income in the past is because companies have stronger bargaining 435 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: power over their workers. Alan Kruger just quickly immigration. Do 436 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: you have any thoughts on how immigration affects wages and unemployment, 437 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: especially when the labor markets type. Immigration is an important 438 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: source of labor supply, especially in some fields like construction, 439 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: and I worry that we're going to start to see 440 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: some bottlenecks in the US economy because we're changing our 441 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: immigration policy and making it much more restrictive. Alan Krueger, 442 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: thank you so much. Look for much more on his professor. 443 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: Krueger of Princeton University. Of course, always helping us out 444 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: on matters of economics.
