Well, the most read story, 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: has Matt Miller pointed out to me, is from our 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: good friends in Zirch, Credit Swiss Group. Are there, then, sir, 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: not Geneva? Right, that's where the base Yeah, they're both 10 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: in Zurich. Okay, alright. Credit Swiss Group offered to buy 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: back up the three billion dollars of its own debt 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: and a move aimed to coming investor Jitters ahead of 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: the unveiling of a crucial strategy revamp later this month. 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: Let's bring in Allison Williams. She's our senior banks analyst 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: of Bloomberg Intelligence. She's been coming the banking industry on 16 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: a global basis for decades. So, Alison, what does this 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: mean to you? What does this mean for I guess 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: equity investors, for creditors here for Credit Swiss, I think 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: like like a lot of things that have happened over 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: the past week, it's it's sort of more symbolic than 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: anything else. It is a way for them to come 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: out and say that, you know, we have ample liquidity 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: in a way that people will believe if you will 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: so as we know, um, over many years, when banks 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: come out and say they don't need capital, they have liquidity, 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: it ends up sometimes having the opposite effect, which is 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: actually what we saw earlier this week in an effort 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: to calm things. It didn't And by coming out today 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: and doing this offer, they're showing that they do have 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, they do have ample liquidity, that's not the issue, 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: and you are seeing the intended effect, which is some 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: studying in the stock and bonds in fact on a 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: very red screen today. Um, the stock is up it 34 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: it was doing better earlier in the day. Is there 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: is there an actual playbook like did John cry and 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: have a leather bound book that he handed over to 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: the leadership at Credit Squeeze because Deutsche Bank did the 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: exact same thing. Um, right when right when they're uh, 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: you know when when there was a concern about liquidity 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: of the German bank, Well, and I think it is UM. 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, I think it is a tactical move UM 42 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: to study things. I do think that the situations are 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: are a little bit different in the sense that UM, 44 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: you know, credit sweet perhaps as a little bit a 45 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: little bit more to build on if you look at 46 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: their some of their higher returning businesses, UM, whereas UH 47 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank, I think, you know, their their portfolio is 48 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: under what was under a lot more pressure, and you know, 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: after three years of restructuring, I think they're finally coming 50 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: out of it, which is a positive UM. But both banks. 51 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: The similarity is when you come out and we've been 52 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: talking about this this week, when you come out and 53 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: say we're gonna come out with a plan it's going 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: to be in several weeks and UM without saying it 55 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: investors knowing that that might include a capital raise. It's 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: it's uncertainty and it's sort of UM obviously can can 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: recap it in a tough market. And so I think 58 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: also having this news come out on a Friday, UM, 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, we'll make for a much less stressful and 60 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: must less uncertain weekend. Hopefully UM that when we saw 61 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: last weekend when there were a lot of stories and 62 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: a lot of posts going around and they come out 63 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: in uh, you know, two weeks and say we need 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: to raise five billion dollars after they just blew three 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: billion dollars on their own debt. Well again, I think 66 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: that to the extent, you know, the issue with credit 67 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: sueets right now is the bargaining position that they're in 68 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: in terms of, uh, you know, the price that they're 69 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: going to pay if you will to issue that capital 70 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: right so as the stacko's lower gets less attractive, and 71 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: also negotiations that they might be having with a potential 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: buyers or investors UM the investment bank to securitized product 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: group UM is something that they would like to get 74 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: external capital. It seems like that makes the most sense 75 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: if they can get a good price. The markets are 76 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: obviously UM putting them in a bad position. I think 77 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: if they can study things and sort of improve their 78 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: negotiating position and give themselves the couple of weeks that 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: they need to really put together a solid plan, because 80 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: if they're going to come out and raise capital, you know, 81 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 1: they're they're going to want a credible plan to offer 82 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: to investors who are going to give them that capital. Alison, 83 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: is there any appetite at all within the Swiss government 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: to maybe permit ubs and credit Swiss to ever merge. 85 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: I believe that's unlikely. Um. You know, we've always said, 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: you know, not impossible, but very unlikely. If you think 87 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: about ubs and credit suits and the size of those 88 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: banks in particular related to the Swiss economy U. Um, 89 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: it's really outside versus some of the bigger banks we 90 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: have here. So we have much bigger banks, but we 91 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: also have a much bigger economy, and for that reason, 92 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: the Swiss regulators have sort of bigger capital requirements for 93 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: these banks, um. Because the two each on their own 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: are so significant to the economy. So I think it 95 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: would be tougher um to think about, you know, the 96 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: pair together. To the extent though that credit Sweeze is 97 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: going to reduce its bounce sheet, reduce some of these 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: investment backing activities, perhaps that does clear something clear the 99 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: way for something down the road. Um. But again I 100 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: guess we'll have to see what the new credit sweeze 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: is going to look like. Where's the where's the office 102 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 1: down town? Where's the New York office? Madisone levin Madison Avenue? 103 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Fantastic building? Is it? A big restaurant right there. We 104 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: used to go there, like you know, when it just opened, 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: it wasn't anything, so we'd go down there to scrap 106 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: dinner after work. And now you it's again one of 107 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: the top restaurants around period. So I don't know. They 108 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: have a great New York City office. Credit Swiss. First 109 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: Boston is a great place to work for me, a 110 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: good memories. But I have to admit, and I've spoken 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: to Allison a lot about this, it just seems like 112 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: every two or three or four years they blow themselves up, 113 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: and that goes back thirty years as far as I 114 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: can recall, Allison Williams, thanks so much for joining us. 115 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: Allison covers all the big banks for Bloomberg Intelligence. She's 116 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: based in our Princeton office, and she's been doing that 117 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: for decades. Before she was at Bloomberg in Tellgent, she 118 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: was at Morgan Stanley Investment Management the by side, and 119 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: they owned huge steaks in all of the big financial 120 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: institutions across the world, and Allison was the analyst supporting 121 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So we appreciate getting her thoughts here. 122 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Credit Swiss. Trying to steady the ship. Gonna have a 123 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: new strategy coming out later this month, and we'll be 124 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: covering that as well. All Right, sports gambling, sports betting 125 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: in sport, it is just a huge business. You know, 126 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: it's a real business. When Bloomberg actually has a TV show, 127 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Television talking about the business of sports betting, and 128 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: it is in the news this week again, ESPN is 129 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: said to be near a large partnership with Draft Kings. Uh, 130 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: that's getting a lot of interest. We want to talk 131 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: about that. We're gonna be with Kaylee Lines. She is 132 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: a Bloomberg Television anchor for us and joining us and 133 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: she's here in our Bloomberg interactor Brooker studio. Joining us 134 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: on the phone is Keith Rung and Athan. She covers 135 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: all things media and against her better judgment, she has 136 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: had to learn about the gambling business and the gaming 137 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: business because of Mickey Mouse is getting into it. You've 138 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: gotta pay attention, Kaylee. That's the crazy part, right part 139 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: is getting into an addictive vice that Bruin's families exactly 140 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: and go figure, that's how the world's changed. So Kaylee, 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: let's start there. Talk to us about the sports betting business. 142 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: First of all, talk to us about that and it 143 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: talks about how your show addresses it. Yeah. So the 144 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: show is called The Lineup. It's on Friday nights and 145 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: Saturday mornings on Bloomberg Television and it essentially just at 146 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: sports bets historically what has paid off for different leagues, 147 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: but then also just the business of betting, because it 148 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,559 Speaker 1: is huge and this is why you're seeing ESPN having 149 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: a growing interest. When you look at the handle, which 150 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: is the total dollar amounts that spent on sports wagers 151 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 1: in the US, it could reach a hundred billion dollars 152 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: this year because you've had legalization. Now it's getting legalized 153 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: in more and more states, and it's just this incredible 154 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: boom and a lot of people are looking to take 155 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: advantage of it. And we thought that was something worthy 156 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: of digging into more. And we haven't even gotten into 157 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: betting the way other cultures. Yeah. I mean, if you 158 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: grew up in the UK, you understand spread betting by 159 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: the time you entered school. Well, they have sixty years 160 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: of history on their side. It's it's relatively new here 161 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: in the US exactly. So so what is this going 162 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: to Farrell walked by, He's like, yep, that's Barrel knows 163 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: how to do it. Uh, what does this mean for 164 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: for ESPN, for Disney? I mean, are we going to 165 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: be able to place bets on ESPN dot Com. No. 166 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that's what they're trying to do here, Matt. 167 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: I think it's really what what they want to do 168 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: is license their name out to a sports book. They're 169 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: not looking to actually create a sports book per se, 170 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: because there's just too many operational, too many regulatory headaches 171 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: associated with that. Rather, I think what they're looking to do, 172 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: and this has kind of been in the news now 173 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: for almost a year. I think they've been looking to 174 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: partner with some of the sports book operators their Draft Kings, 175 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: of course in the news today. Um just kind of 176 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: licensing out their name and probably integrating um, you know, 177 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: odds data with the ESPN broadcast. Basically kind of a 178 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: win win for both because it widens the audience for 179 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: both the Draft Kings as well as for ESPN. So, 180 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, Gith, I guess you know, the media companies, 181 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: they're you know, obviously always looking for new revenue streams, 182 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: whether it's advertising from some of these sports books or 183 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: doing you know, a deal actually getting you know, in 184 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: bed if you will, with with the DraftKings in this 185 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: particular example, how the media companies kind of changed their 186 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: view of just kind of sports betting because boy, for 187 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: the longest time it was taboo. Oh absolutely, Pole, You're 188 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: absolutely right about that. I mean, it kind of goes 189 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: against the grain a little bit of you know, Disney's 190 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, family friendly ethos if you will. But they 191 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: do realize that they're leaving money on the table here. 192 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: So if you just kind of look at some of 193 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: the financials for ESPN, ESPN will bring in about thirteen 194 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars in revenue for the for 195 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: the Walt Disney Company about four point q billion by 196 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: our calculations of EBITDA. That's going to be about of 197 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: the pair and companies, so a pretty sizable number. The 198 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: problem though, is that ESPN is losing subscribers just like 199 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: the left the rest of the cable network ecosystem, and 200 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: we actually estimate that they're even down, maybe down by 201 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: about so they have to come up. So there are 202 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: two things here. They have to come up with new 203 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: cost cutting incentives, and they've done that, so they let 204 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: go of the Big ten rights. For instance, they let 205 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: go of I P. L. Cricket rights in India, but 206 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: they also have to look to grow their revenue and 207 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: that's exactly what this is about, monetizing their audiences, trying 208 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: to find new streams of revenue. As you pointed out, 209 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: so um kylie, when you're anchoring the lineup, what do 210 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: you uh with with Damian Sassaur too, who is a 211 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: maniac on this stuff. He is so knowledgeable on this 212 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: whole sports betting thing. I mean, you get him started, 213 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: he can't stop. But how deep does it go? It's 214 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: not just about betting if like the Cowboys win against 215 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: the Giants, right, I mean, it's so much more complex 216 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, I mean you can get really granular 217 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: with these things. There are simple money line bets where 218 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: you're just betting on who's going to win and who's 219 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: going to lose. And we have troves and troves of 220 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: historical data from our partners sport Radar that help us 221 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: analyze historically when you look over the course of say 222 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: ten seasons, when usually those bets will pay off. But 223 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: you can bet on anything. You can bet on what 224 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: color the gator rate is going to be when it 225 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: gets dumped on the coach ahead at the end of 226 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: the game. I mean it gets, it gets super super granular, 227 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: and it's the barrier to entry right now is really low. 228 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: You can do this on mobile. You can do it 229 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: basically anywhere except for the states were legal. But regulation 230 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: is changing. Is it still changing or have we gotten 231 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: to a point where we think it's we understand it well. 232 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: It is now legal in a number of states, really 233 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: the only big ones that haven't come online yet or 234 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: Texas in California, but you can do it here in 235 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: New York. Um. And so it definitely is still a 236 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: nascent industry and that this only has been legal for 237 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: several number of years, and obviously it will evolve. But 238 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: just the fact that you can do it and people 239 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: are taking advantage of doing it and you're seeing the 240 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: growth is kind of kind of the point here. And 241 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: what we're trying to see z on and so we 242 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: we've got you know, ESPN, you know, kind of dipping 243 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: its toe into this business, maybe even more than dipping it. Still. 244 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: How about some of the other networks, whether it's Fox 245 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: or CBS or NBC. Have you seen any moves on 246 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: their part? Yeah, actually they all have some stake. Um, 247 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, in a bedding platform. So Fox actually has 248 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: been really aggressive I think on on this front. They 249 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: have a deal with a flutter um and uh you 250 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: know which owns fan Duel here in the US, UM 251 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: and they have all they all they have almost a 252 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: four percent stake, but they're right now actually in arbituation 253 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: because UM about how to kind of exercise their options there. 254 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: So that's a little bit you know, we don't know 255 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: exactly how that's going to stay out. But all of 256 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: these media companies they know that, UM, you know this 257 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: is there is a huge growth opportunity here. You know, NBC, 258 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: UM has you know again um uh an agreement with 259 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,359 Speaker 1: points that sort of CBS. They all have these small agreements, 260 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: but remember there are some regular regulatory issues, so they 261 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: can't cross like a five percent stake because that's when 262 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: they kind of trigger that uh that regulation. UM. But 263 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: definitely everybody is kind of trying to find new ways 264 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: of monetizing their audiences and their broadcast. So one of 265 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: the biggest obviously DraftKings is huge flutter You just mentioned 266 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: fan Duel. We all know about UM. What are the 267 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: other big betting companies up there and are they are 268 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: all or the most part based in London for you. Yeah, 269 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: I mean there there are a number and you are 270 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: seeing some consolidation as well, where UK based companies are 271 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: starting to make oppositions here in the US to capitalize 272 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: on the fact that you now have a growing US 273 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: market for this as well. So there's a ton of 274 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: sports books out there. Obviously, DraftKings, FanDuel are among the 275 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: big ones that you will see every day. But you're 276 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: probably going to see more pop up because this is 277 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: something including Disney in the ESPN, everybody's looking at exactly 278 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: all right, Kaylee Lines, thank you so much. Katie Line's 279 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: anchor for Bloomberg News, joinings here on a Bloomberg Interactive 280 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: Brook which on the show again seven pm and eleven 281 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: pm Saturday, Friday night and Friday night, seven am and 282 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: eleven am Saturday morning. Oh, seven pmm pm tonight, seven 283 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: am and eleven am Tomorrow morning. Very good. And Ethan 284 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: Rockhan she's Bloomberg Intelligence. She covers all things media for 285 00:14:53,560 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Intelligence. Now's that really feeling to paying here today? 286 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: Off two and a half percent here, it's got a 287 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: sense of what's going on with technology. We're gonna focus 288 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: a little bit on Amazon as well. And we can 289 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: do that because we've got some really smart people at Bloomberg, 290 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: including Bloomberg News Equity supporter Jess Met and she joins 291 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: us here in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio and put 292 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: him Goyle Senior analystics she covers all the retailing stuff 293 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Intelligence, and then you can imagine spends a 294 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: lot of time on that thing called Amazon, just because 295 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: give us a sense kind of what we're seeing out there. 296 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: For for tech stocks, we really comes down to what 297 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: we're seeing in the pain in chip stocks. And right 298 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: now we're coming into today the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which 299 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: has plunged this year, had actually been up nearly nine 300 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: percent for the week, but with today's losses, it's basically 301 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: cut those gains in half. And really what's happened is 302 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: once Samsung reported basically it's first profit drops since twenty nineteen, 303 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: it really just just showing the depth of the global 304 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: PC and memory chip downturn and also advanced micro devices. 305 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: They had a preliminary third quarter sales that basically missed 306 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: projects by more than one billion dollars, and so that's 307 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: really weighing on chip stocks, and like I mentioned already 308 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: down when you're looking at the Philadelphia semi Conductor index 309 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: this year, which would be the most since two thousand eight, 310 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: and just looking more broadly, if you're looking at a 311 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: video ticker symbol n v d A down about five 312 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: percent today. Also looking over at micro not down quite 313 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: as much, but ticker symbol M you that's stock down 314 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: about two percent. But still even if that's UM index 315 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: does continue to post games this week, that would snap 316 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: three straight weeks of losses. But if you pull it 317 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: back over the past two months, that index is only 318 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: close higher for two weeks in the past eight weeks, 319 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: so really showing the pain there that's happening in chip stocks. 320 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: It also this highlights how little I know about the 321 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: micro chip industry because you know they go in your cars. Though, yeah, 322 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: my truck stood on the lot with tho others for 323 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: months because they couldn't find the right chips to like 324 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: control lane, keep assist. And yet they're made. They've made 325 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: way too many chips for PCs, so these things are 326 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: not fungible, right, So you went from a chip shortage 327 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: to now a chip glut. But still in cars there's 328 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: a chip shortage, so still there's an automotive chip shortage. 329 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: They can't get enough of them. Rivan especially is having problems. 330 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: Tesla had problems to Obviously the incumbent players are still 331 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: grappling with the issues. And yet I can't think of 332 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: PC makers but a sir, I guess has gotten way 333 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: too many. The chip makers should have sent most of 334 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: them over to Tesla and held back the ones that 335 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: they were making for IBM. And they've also still been 336 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: dealing with those rising prices. And obviously weaker economies has 337 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: heard consumption and they're also obviously also not helped by 338 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve and other central banks really having this 339 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: aggressive stance on their monetary policy. But then another factor 340 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: is when it comes to the dynamic between Washington and 341 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: Beijing and the export restrictions on China, which obviously is 342 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: a top consumer of chips. Interesting enough, though Morgan Stanley 343 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: had not necessarily called the bottom and chip stocks, but 344 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: thinks that we're getting closer. They were looking more when 345 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: looking basically at the price to earnings ratio. So the 346 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Index is priced at fourteen a half times earnings 347 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: right now, and that's eleven percent discount to its average 348 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: multiple around sixteen for the past decades, so they're keeping 349 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: a close eye on that, but still those corner of 350 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: the market today really feeling the pain. And when put 351 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: Um Goyle, Bloomberg's intelligence retail anild started her coverage of 352 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: the retail space years ago at Goldman Sachs, a little 353 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: firm downtown, she never thought she'd be talking technology, but 354 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: then this whole thing called e commerce came along and 355 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: she has been becoming an astute technology analyst as well. 356 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: So put them when you think about your industry, what 357 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: Amazon has done to the retail industry, this whole e 358 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: commerce thing has really become front and center. What's the 359 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: status of e commerce in the retail space? Yeah, e 360 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: commerce is still front and center. You know, there's been 361 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about e commerce flowing, and yes, 362 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: coming off of pandemic level, there will be some slow 363 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: to out, but let that not be mistaken for the 364 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: growth that's still ahead for e commerce. E Commerce is 365 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: still very under penetrated in the US. Why not even 366 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: at a third of US retail sales coming from e commerce, 367 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: which we think we'll get there in just a matter 368 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: of three years. So right now we're about a quarter 369 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: of total retail sales are from the e commerce world, 370 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: but that number is steadily increasing, and you know, this 371 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: year maybe a little slower given the tougher comparisons, but 372 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: next year and going forward, we do expect e commerce 373 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: to return to healthy, high single digit double EDGIT games. 374 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: I've been uh, the pandemic has transformed the way my 375 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: family shops, and I'm sure that's the case for most 376 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: families in America. I get now far more goods on 377 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Amazon than I ever had um in the pre pandemic 378 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: years combined. UM and I've been waiting for a drone 379 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: or a robot to drop off one of my packages. 380 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Is it never going to happen to them? I wouldn't 381 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: say never, but I don't think you'll happen in the 382 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: next you years. I think you know, as you know, 383 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: they've been testing the drone concept for years now, and 384 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: the hawks that they've placed on the scout just goes 385 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: to show that either it's not economical, either it's not 386 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: fast enough, or it's just not being received well by customers. Yet. 387 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: Maybe the customer isn't ready for a drone to pull 388 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: up into their driveway, navigate around their cards, find the door, 389 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: and drop things off, right. I don't know if we 390 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: have that sophistication, I would I promised to double my 391 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: purchases of Amazon delivers my stuff with a robot, because 392 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: that would be awesome. Alright, So just just real quickly here, 393 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: when you think about the text SOX, is it all 394 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: just the FED and where rates are going? I mean, 395 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: that obviously is a big part of that, just because 396 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: when you're thinking about the direction of interest rates and 397 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: how that incorporates to their future profits and obviously in 398 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: turn their stock prices, that is a big thing. But also, 399 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: like I was mentioned before, the recent tensions between the 400 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: US and China that could actually worsen the imbalance when 401 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: you're looking at what's happening with supply into me and 402 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: so part of it is the fat and then part 403 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: of it is also issues going on with just geopolitics 404 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: and again stem conductor stocks. They're the most cyclical part 405 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: of technology because of the boom and bus nature of 406 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: chip demand. All right, Jess Manton, thank you so much. 407 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Jeff Matt and Bloomberg News equities reporter 408 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: and put him Coyle senior analyst. She covers to US 409 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: retailing with Bloomberg Intelligence, and she covers Amazon, so that 410 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: means she is all over the technology that is transforming retail. 411 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: And maybe someday a drone will deliver a package to 412 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: Matt Miller's house. So no, but no day soon because 413 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: Amazon has canceled their project for cost cutting reasons lately. 414 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: Really yeah, that's that's the whole story. There were slow 415 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: moving cooler sized scout that they've been testing since nineteen 416 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: is suspending at a million trucks on the road so 417 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: they can get it done well. President Biden's pardoning of 418 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: all people convicted of simple marijuana possession under federal law 419 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: marks a significant shift of the president's stance on cannabis. 420 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: And it's got kindable stocks definitely moving here. It's Jackomen 421 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: Jason Wilson. He's a cannabis research and banking expert for 422 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: et F Managers Group. And Jason, before we get start, 423 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: I just want to point off our audience that you 424 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: are a member of the Canadian were a member of 425 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: the Canadian Forces, and you were recipient of the Gulf 426 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: of Kuwait Metal awarded for your engagement in direct combat 427 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: during the Gulf War of nineteen nine. You want to 428 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: remember remember that well. So, Jason, first of all, thanks 429 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: for your service here. Um, we appreciate you taking the 430 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: time to join us. Thanks for having me on. I 431 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: appreciate it. You bet. Is this a major shift for 432 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: the Biden administration? Do you think, I mean, the stocks 433 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: are kind of suggesting it is. How do you guys 434 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: think about that? Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's definitely 435 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: a shift. I mean, notwithstanding the campaign promises regarding you know, 436 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: canvas reform Biden made in twenty we really didn't see 437 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: anything from him and and not you know, there's been 438 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: lots of movement in Congress obviously, uh, primarily in the House, 439 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: but also in the Senate, and and you know, so 440 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: to have this affirmation from Biden, it's it's it's really uplifting. Um. 441 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: So it's it's, you know, again, affirmation that if we 442 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: can get something through Congress, we can see some real 443 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: progress exactly. I mean a lot of things here need 444 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: to change. I don't know, a lot of people realize 445 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: that that weed is a Schedule one drug. I mean, 446 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: that's the worst kind of drug in terms of the 447 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: way the federal government rates these things, meaning it has 448 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: a high potential for addiction. And there's no currently accepted 449 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: medical use. As you move on down the list schedule too, 450 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: you get things like you know, morphine and dem roll 451 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: Schedule three, you get like steroids and ketamine special K 452 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: Schedule four like xan x and probably the most abused 453 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: drugs in America, right, I mean, why is why is 454 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: this plant a Schedule one drug? Is that going to change? 455 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely going to change. There seems to 456 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: be no question. In fact. You know, obviously having the 457 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: the the executive action on on the Federal Party is 458 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: incredible news. But also in that release was the fact 459 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: that he's instructed President Biden's instructed the Attorney General and 460 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: the Secretary of um uh, you know, of of Health 461 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: and Human Services to actually look at reclassification because you know, 462 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: even even President Biden said it all that's just made 463 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: no sense. It's a failed system. The laws are wrong, 464 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: the federal it's just not working, and we need to 465 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: look at at least reclassification. Yeah. Um, we also have 466 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: a Safe Banking Act, um that legislation that that needs 467 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: to get passed here. Um you advise m J. That's 468 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: the alternative harvest e T F and and other e 469 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: T s I believe in terms of how to deal 470 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: with the regulation. Are we going to see safe banking pass? 471 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: Because without that, it's very difficult for these companies with 472 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, uh millions or even billions in revenue to 473 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: to move around the financial system. Yeah, there's definitely bipartisan 474 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: support for no question. I mean that the divide hasn't 475 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: been whether or not we should have cannabis reform. That 476 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: the divide has been to what extent? How far do 477 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: we go? And and you know, um, if you look 478 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: at Shumor's bill at the c I o A, it's 479 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: just so it's been so far reaching, and there's to 480 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: date been really not a willingness to compromise on on 481 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: on more incremental reform. But you know that's changed in 482 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: the last few weeks or a few months, and there 483 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: there is more expectation that there will be compromised and 484 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: we'll actually see something more along the lines of safe 485 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: banking plus. And then when you obviously, when you add 486 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: the the president's actions yesterday, it's it's gonna add a 487 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: little bit more fuel to fire that what we will 488 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: actually see progress on that front. Jason, what's been the 489 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: experience of Canada and and and their laws and kind 490 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: of how they deal with it. Yeah, it's been it's 491 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: been positive. I mean, at the end of the day, 492 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: there's there's always this. It takes time to to move 493 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: from the illicit market to the legal market. Um, but 494 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: you know it's it's the industry is growing. Quarter after quarter. 495 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: We continue to increase sales the quarter after quarter, we 496 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: continue to take away from the illicit market. You know, 497 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: we haven't seen the evils that many predicted. Uh. And 498 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, the biggest thing we're dealing with right now 499 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: in Canada, and you were talking about this about other 500 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: drugs and where they where they sit on the c 501 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: s A. The biggest issues we're dealing with right now 502 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: are you know, the opioid overdoses, ventanyl addictions, things of 503 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: that nature. Like that's that's the issue. And you know 504 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: we're seeing that that cannabis is a means to get 505 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: off of those, not a gateway to those. Yeah. Ventanyl. Yeah, 506 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: that's bad, bad stuff, horrible, right it is. I mean 507 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: if heroin doesn't do it for you, then you move 508 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: to fentyl. That's right, that's that's a very bad problem. 509 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: But I mean people should notice stay away from that stuff. 510 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: All right, Jason, thank you so much for joining us. 511 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: Jason Wilson, he's cannabis research and banking expert for the 512 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: E t F Managers Group. And again, they're definitely some 513 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: movement there yesterday from President Biden's partnering of all people 514 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: convicative simple marijuana possession under federal law. That marks a 515 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: significant shift in the President's recent stance on cannabis. So 516 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot of folks in the cannabis business are, you know, 517 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: hoping that perhaps this could be a catalyst for more 518 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: sweeping deregulation at the federal level. This is the Big Take, 519 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: the best of Bloomberg's in depth, original reporting from around 520 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: the globe. This is a really fast moving story that's 521 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: caused a lot of outrage among investors. This is so fascinating. 522 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: The market shutdown in a way it's never done before. 523 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: That's gonna have consequences for years to come. The Big 524 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: Take on Bloomberg Radio. All Right, you know how much 525 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: Matt and I love these Big Take stories from Bloomberg 526 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: News because they're a the topics are usually really really cool, uh, 527 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: and then they dig deep and they you can just 528 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: tell they throw the resources at it. We get some 529 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: really in depth, deep reporting on some really cool topics today. Boy, 530 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: no different. Steve Cohen's new edge is bringing hedge fund 531 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,239 Speaker 1: moneyball to the Mets. And the Mets are actually in 532 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, uh in you know, and probably 533 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: the first one. No, I think they've been. They've been 534 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: in the team. Okay, yeah. So anyway, so what we've 535 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: got here is we've got Kathy Burton, she's a reporter 536 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: on this story for Bloomberg News. Tom Maloney, editor with 537 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg News. They both joined us in the Bloomberg Interactive 538 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: Broker Studio the B and people do not phone it in, Matt. 539 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: They're actually in here getting the job done over there. 540 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: This is pretty empty. Kathy, Steve Cohen, I know him 541 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: as the hedge fund uh Titan on Wall Street from 542 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: my days on the street. Uh, but he's also the 543 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: owner of the Mets. Here talked to us about Steve Cohen, 544 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: what he's done with this franchise. Well, basically, Steve has 545 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: thrown a lot of his billions of dollars at the 546 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: team and that's what's made the difference this year. So 547 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: but he's but he's been a fan. So was when 548 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: they were in the World Series, not the playoffs. But 549 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: he's been a fan since then, right, I mean since 550 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: he was a little kid. Yeah. So I think this 551 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: is so cool because in our financial bubble, uh Tom, 552 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: where we only care about you know, business news, we 553 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: know Steve Cohen as the big hedge fund guy who 554 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: maybe used too much of an edge, right and got 555 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: into legal trouble. He's kind of a bad guy because 556 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: he pushed the limits a little bit too much, but 557 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: obviously everyone was pushing the limits. He got caught. UM 558 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: in baseball. You know, Baseball fans don't think of him 559 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: that way, right. They think of this guy, especially if 560 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: you're a Mets fan, as somebody with a lot of 561 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: money who came in um to help for them make 562 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: their franchise a winner. They probably love him absolutely, and 563 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's what he says was 564 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: the primary reason why he bought the Mets was to 565 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: try to bring joy to millions of people. Um. But 566 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: it's it's certainly he you know, people Mets fans, they 567 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: love him. At the baseball owners maybe not so much 568 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: because he's spending you know, fortune. He's got the highest 569 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: payroll in the league right now, and it's taken the 570 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Mets to the postseason for the first time. So Cathy 571 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: talked to us about, like, do you think Steve Cohen 572 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: is actually trying to kind of revamp his reputation? Is 573 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: was his legacy, if you will, by the ownership of 574 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: such a you know, a marquee franchise. I don't actually 575 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: partly because Steve. You know, Steve was never um charged 576 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: with with wrongdoing. His firm paid a fine, a record fine, UM. 577 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: But I think he really did do it for the 578 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: reasons that Tom just said. But but it has been 579 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: a benefit of all this that people don't um think 580 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: of him anymore because of the record find he paid. UM. 581 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: Tom found a really cool stat that showed that UM, 582 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: since he owned the Mets, there were twenty three mentions 583 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: of Steve Cohen with insider trading and more than two 584 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: thousand as owner of the Yeah, if that's his goal. 585 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: But he's this seems like a guy who's going to 586 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: be competitive in whatever realm. I mean, if you put 587 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: him on the squash court, he's gonna throw an elbow. 588 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: If you put him in hedge funds, he's going to 589 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: try and use whatever edge he can. And if you 590 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: put him in baseball. He's going to spend as much 591 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 1: as he can to win, right, Is that how you 592 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: frame him? Yeah? Absolutely, And I think when we talk 593 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: about the reasons why he bought it, I mean, yeah, 594 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: he wants to bring joy, but I think he's a 595 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: competitive guy and he wants to win, and I think 596 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: he enjoys it and he likes learning about something new. 597 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: You know. He talked to We spoke to Billy Eppla, 598 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: the general manager, and he talked about how involved you know, 599 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily interfering or anything like that, but the Cohen 600 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: asked smart questions and he likes to learn and he 601 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: likes to quiz him and figure things out. And I 602 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: think that's a big reason why he bought it as well, 603 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: was like a new challenge of this, is there any 604 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: kind of you know, Moneyball was the last great baseball story. 605 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: Michael Lewis wrote the book and then um Brad Pitt 606 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: and Jonah Hill were awesome in the movie, but that 607 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: they were cash strapped, right, Um, it seems like Steve 608 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: Cohen would use that kind of mathematical analysis. He has 609 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: always been a baseball fan, and then he was a 610 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: Wall Street guy. They're all like that. Um, but he 611 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: has the money to spend, so does he do like 612 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: kind of a moneyball on steroids for lack of a 613 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: better term. Um, it's kind of funny that they do 614 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: lend a few people to the organization, to to the 615 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: Mets to do some sort of to do some sort 616 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: of projects to bring them basically up to speed, because 617 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: the Wilpons never invested in that sort of quantitative analysis. 618 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: But interestingly, they're not trying to be the quantiest team 619 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: really league. Yeah, I think they're they're doing sort of 620 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: man plus machine. Interesting, Tom, Do we have any sense 621 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: of what Steve Cohen's kind of how he allocates his 622 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: time these days between his point seventy two hedge fun 623 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: between the Mets and maybe whatever whatever else he's doing, 624 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: because it seems like philanthropy. He's not a collector. I mean, 625 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: he's still trading every day. What do we know about it? 626 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: He says, he's still trading every day. He still runs 627 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: a book, his own book at point seventy two, but 628 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: it's a lot smaller than it used to be. He's 629 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: only trading during us hours. He's not you know, sitting 630 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 1: there worrying about what's going on. In London, what's going 631 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: on in Asia overnight? So his work day is shorter 632 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: than it used to be. It's interesting, point seventy two 633 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: manages more money than it's ever managed before. Um so 634 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: the firm's grown, but it's kind of gotten more institutionalized, 635 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: and he's not making all the decisions anymore. And I 636 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: think after hours he's he's focused shifts to baseball. He's 637 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, he speaks to Billy Eppler at least once 638 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: a week, while on once a week, and then every 639 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: time there's any kind of transaction guys going up to 640 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: the majors, going down in the minor leagues or whatever, 641 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: you know, he's consulted on that. And so I think, 642 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, there's a he's got more stuff going on 643 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: than just trading seven, which I think is what his 644 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: life used to be. Does he talk to all of 645 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: the players, Cathy? Does he say, hey, do you even 646 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: know how to play this? No? I don't think he 647 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: talks to the players that much. I mean, he definitely 648 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: talks to the general manager a bit. Yeah, But I 649 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: saw him, like you know, down at the Braves last weekend. 650 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: He they had a new player coming up, Alvarez and 651 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: he was like, you know, giving him some words of encouragement, 652 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: saying don't stress about it. I think he likes that 653 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: element of as well for sure. All Right, great stuff 654 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: the Big Take story.
