7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: of a lot of retailers and particularly Amazon last night.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: Let's bring in our good friend Burt Flickinger, managing director

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: at Strategic Resource Group. He is the go to person

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: on all things retail in Bert. We saw some really

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: impressive numbers out of the e commerce giant last night,

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: didn't We were very impressive numbers And what it really

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: uh synthesizes is Jeff Bezos and to his credit McKenzie Bezos,

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: his first wife, who helped co find the company, really

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: taking a victory lap with six consecutive quarters of beating estimates,

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: significant of late. And the key thing now is Amazon,

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: by this time next year is going to be the

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: biggest retailer worldwide, eclips in Walmart and everyone else. So

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: what is the future like then for investors? I mean,

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: we saw a record EPs, but Jeff Bezos has been

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: known to turn the tap on and turn the tap

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: off in terms of profits. And that's a great, great question,

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Matt and Uh. For us, the key thing is on

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: tap on and off is Bezos and Amazon are increasing

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: cap acts or capital expenditures by over a hundred year

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: over years. So the number to look at is a

27
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five distribution centers worldwide. They'll have more

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: distribution centers in Walmart and everyone else, more efficient, more

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: effective in What's particularly telling in Amazon's release is that

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: everything solar and sustainable houred. So Amazon's making money from

31
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: solar and using it to lower prices. And the perfect

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: compare and contrast is Long Beach, where Kroger and others

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: would not pay Hero pay and they would not put

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: solar on the roofs to save money, made money, lower prices,

35
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: and increased workers wages Amazon does. Kroger's closing up in

36
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: Long Beach, California, and Amazon's opening it's it's new Amazon

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Fresh stores there. Uh to take run the table from

38
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: California to the East coast. But it's just yeah, just extraordinary.

39
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm wondering about kind of their geographic footprint here, I'm

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: just looking at the p g PGeo function on the

41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: Bloomberg terminal gives you a geographic breakdown of the revenue

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: about six in North America International. Then the rest is aws,

43
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: do you expect Amazon to increased investments is to try

44
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: to really grow their international footprint? Yeah, Paul, definitely. Amazon's

45
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: international growth that you're good point is fifty seven percent

46
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: versus UH overall UH total total corporate growth. And international's

47
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: going to be a tremendous opportunity as both the COVID

48
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: nineteen pandemic and combined with the accelerating ice age worldwide,

49
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: Amazon is just just going to replace shopping centers and

50
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: shopping malls. And look at Amazon's landing page for Mother's Day,

51
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to go any place to get anything

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: from chocolate, candy to close to tech. Uh. And Amazon

53
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: International is going to be a big part of the

54
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: growth story going forward. And Paul, the reason why you're

55
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: questioning on international is so important is Ali Baba with

56
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Singles Day generated thirty point seven billion and one day

57
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: last year, Amazon Prime in two days generated ten point

58
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: four billion. So if Amazon is adding two to three

59
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: more Prime days a year, and then add singles day internationally.

60
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Uh Amazon, Amazon can beat everybody uh in in e

61
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: retail and the one Achilles seal for Amazon right that,

62
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: right now is food retail, where the cops are still negative.

63
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: And and as you mentioned the prior segment concerns about

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: the Federal Grade Commission. But it doesn't look like there's

65
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: any an a trust in the future either. I mean,

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to beat local there. I have

67
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: here in Berlin occasionally looked at getting food off of Amazon,

68
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: but it's not as good as we've got local services

69
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: like Guerrillas that deliver in literally ten minutes, I mean

70
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: sometimes less than ten minutes um. And I've become addicted

71
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: to that. I wonder though, in the bigger picture, bur

72
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned at the top that Amazon is going to

73
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: overtake Walmart as the biggest retailer in the world. The

74
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Walton family can't take this lying down, right, Doug McMillan

75
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: has to do something about it. Walmart's got you know,

76
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: a million more employees than Amazon, and their market cap

77
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: is less than a fourth of Amazon. They're trading for

78
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: three billion dollars. Amazon's trading from one trillion what can

79
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Walmart do about this to try and class some of

80
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: that back. Walmart can win on food, Matt and that's

81
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: that's Ben Ben, Amazon's on going Achilles Heel and uh Walt,

82
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Walmart will be able to deliver to of the US

83
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: population by the end of this year. So Amazon wins,

84
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: Walmart wins, Target wins, just about everybody else loses. And

85
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: and what I like about your Berlin comment is you

86
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: know better than I do, uh gallery kalpof Karstat. A

87
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: lot of the department stores have either closed or cut

88
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: back in Germany and throughout the EU, and Amazon's growing

89
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: and replacing the bricks and mortar stores. And what's notable

90
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: your time about Berlin and Europe is Walmart failed with

91
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: all three formats in continental Europe. So where Walmart's failed, uh, Korea,

92
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Germany and elsewhere. Amazon's winning just about everywhere, and we'll

93
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: continue to win. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean going online is

94
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: a more pleasant experience than going into a calf off,

95
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. And and a cars dot and

96
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: they are we see him closing left and right around here. Bert,

97
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Bert Flickings, you're there

98
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: talking to us about Amazon he's a managing director at

99
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: Strategic Resource Group. Well here in the United States, the

100
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: story about the vaccines is a very positive one as

101
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: vaccine rates continue to increase, and that has a corresponding

102
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: uh impact on the economy, as economy begins to open up.

103
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: And of course you you can trast that with what

104
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Matt's experiencing in Germany and across Europe. Just you know,

105
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: it looks like there's several months behind then of course

106
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: the tragedy that's unfull thing UH in UH India just

107
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: goes to the importance of getting folks facted up and

108
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: and all through this process we've been fortunate to speak

109
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: to experts such as Lauren Sour, the Associate Professor of

110
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Emergency Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University. And I should

111
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: not that the Bloomberg School of Public Health a Johns

112
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: Hopkins is supported by Michael Arre Bloomberg, founder Bloomberg LP,

113
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Philanthropies and this radio and TV operation. Uh Dr

114
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Sour thanks so much for joining us here. I guess

115
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: I want to go to the issue of what we

116
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: heard recently from the CDC about mass and just you know, behavior,

117
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: individual behaviors as more and more people get vaccinated in

118
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: this country. Do you think the messaging is matching what's

119
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: really going on out there in society. That's a great question.

120
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I think there is a little bit of a disconnect.

121
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: And there's also this sense of, um, you know, we're

122
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated, we're doing the work. Now, please let us

123
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: get out there and get pick our masks off and

124
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: be free, you know, and I completely understand that, you know,

125
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: we we do want things to get back to normal.

126
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I think, um, there could have been a little more

127
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: explicit information in that updated CDC guidance on masking that

128
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: we would have liked to see around, like office usage

129
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: and things like that. But it is good to see

130
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: the CDC acknowledging the safety of the outdoor space, especially

131
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: as we move into summer and people are anxious to

132
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: get out there to those outdoor restaurants, you know, outdoor settings,

133
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: um and be with family members who are vaccinated or

134
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: friends who are vaccinated. Again. You know, it does seem

135
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: like it's kind of silly to wear a mask outside

136
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: to begin with, right, it seems very performative, like you're

137
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: sort of stating your political opinion more than really trying

138
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: to protect somebody because it's so unlikely to catch the

139
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: virus in an outdoor setting. Yeah, I mean, I think,

140
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, the guidance was catching up with the science, right,

141
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: And so one of the most impressive things that has

142
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: happened in the last year year and a half is

143
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: how quickly science has happened and how we're rapidly trying

144
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: to learn learn about all these different settings about aerosol transmission,

145
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: about contact transmission, like everything about this virus is new

146
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: when this pandemic started, and so we know that the

147
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: sort of regulatory environment and the policy environment has a lag.

148
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: And so I think this is what we're seeing as

149
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: policy and guidance catching up with the science and you know,

150
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: the sort of exactly what you're talking about. The things

151
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: we see we already feel to be inherent. So the

152
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: science is there, the policy is catching up, and people

153
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: can take advantage of that guidance and those recommendations. Uh, Lauren,

154
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: when do you think we'll know? When will the science

155
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: come in about perhaps how long these vaccines actually work?

156
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: Is it six months? Is at twelve months? Is it

157
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: longer than that? And obviously that will go to what

158
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: we do, you know, roughly a year from now. I

159
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: know studies are being done. When do you think that

160
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: science will be available? Yeah, I think it's already coming in.

161
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're starting to We're watching those

162
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: first groups of vaccinies who are actually probably on their

163
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: or dose from from the people who participated in the studies.

164
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: So they're getting their boosters to see what they're um,

165
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, what they're waning intibodies look like and UM

166
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: and that data, those data are coming in right That

167
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: information is being gathered and analyzed right now as we speak,

168
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: which is really impressive. I think UM on the on

169
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: the natural infection side, we're just starting to see that

170
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: information from our earliest patients, So UM people who so

171
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: generously contributed their time, their specimens, their clinical data, you know,

172
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: and participated in those observational studies early in the pandemic

173
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: and continue to participate UM or helping us to understand

174
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: what happens after we get infected, or what happens after

175
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: we get vaccinated, or what happens after we get infected

176
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: and vaccinated to our immunity. So I think, you know,

177
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: this summer, we're going to start to see a lot

178
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: of data pouring in on UM that first year of

179
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: infection and what it looks like, along with the seasonality

180
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: of the virus itself. We have a bloomberg opinion UM

181
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: columnist Kathy O'Neil. She's also a mathematician. She wrote the

182
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: book Weapons of Math Destruction. She says, like, you know,

183
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: people are ridiculously worried about this. Once you're vaccinated, and

184
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: as many other people are vaccinated, as is the case

185
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: in the US, these solutions are nine point and these

186
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: are her numbers, nine nine nine nine percent effective. Are

187
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: we being a little over dramatic at this point? Yeah,

188
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I would say, I'm not sure where

189
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: those numbers come from. I think, um, we know we

190
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: have an incredibly a series of incredibly safe and effective vaccines.

191
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: Plus when you add these additional protective measures, as we

192
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: get more and more of the population UM protected through vaccine,

193
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: those numbers do increase. Right that her community starts to

194
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: build UM. I think some new studies have come out

195
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: just opink in the last couple of days showing that

196
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: um AT they're just one dough if you have a

197
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: reduction and transmission and a reduction in severity. So that's

198
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: also really exciting to see. But again. You know you

199
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: want to wait for that cycle, that full cycle of

200
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: participants early from the early studies to understand what does

201
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: the ongoing picture of immunity and detection look like in

202
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: the community. Absolutely, Lauren, thanks so much for joining us.

203
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Lauren sour there from the Johns Hopkins School talking about COVID.

204
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Let's turn to commodities here. I'm talking soft commodities like corn, soybeans,

205
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: wet sugarcane. All of these grands are making multi year highs.

206
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Let's get a look at underhood what's driving this. We

207
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: welcome Sell Gilberti, President CEO, ce IO and co founder

208
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: of two Creemp Trading. They trade these commodities South. Thanks

209
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: so much for joining us here. I know our discussion

210
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: is going to go supply demands. So where do you

211
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: want to go first? As we think about these commodities

212
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: setting some multi year highs, well, it is supplied demands.

213
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: So that's um, that's what's driving these highs. Basically, we

214
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: are using more grains. In the case of corn and soybeans,

215
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: we're using more grains two years in a row than

216
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: we produce globally, and so that that's a very big deal.

217
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: When you see stocks shrinking, your grain stock shrinking, Um,

218
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: you get higher prices. That says any commodity. It is

219
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: simply supply to man. What's amazing is that soybean ending

220
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: stocks and that means what's left over after you grow

221
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: the whole crop and use everything you're gonna use, there's

222
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: generally a little bit left. Um. Soybeans are down year

223
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: on year. The projections corn. This is US US stocks

224
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: corn down and weak down. This is the inventories inventories

225
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: that's correct, excess inventories. And that's that's enormous UM. And

226
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: that's why you've seen these these large price rises usually.

227
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have these kind of price gains,

228
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I know, farmers like to go out and plant more.

229
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Are we going to see supply meat demand? Is? Is this,

230
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, the transitory inflation that Powell is talking about

231
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: or these prices here to stay? I think these prices

232
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: are here to stay for more than one season. They

233
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: never you know, grains are easy to grow, um, but

234
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: it does take a full growing season a year, you know.

235
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: So essentially, when when the the u f d A

236
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: did kind of drop a bomb on the market in

237
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: the last day of Marching their annual acreage report where

238
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: they came in with much lower corn and soybean acres

239
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: in the United States, and people anticipated we will raise

240
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: that number a little bit, so you will see these

241
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: balance sheet estimates that are really tight right now kind

242
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: of loosen a little. But the bottom line is even

243
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: factoring in perfect growing weather um, which is a big

244
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: f around the world, and we're just planning the seeds

245
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: now that we're counting on to harvest in the autumn.

246
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Even with a perfect harvest and a and a good yield,

247
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: we're still not going to rebuild these supplies. It's going

248
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: to take at least until next growing season that's autumn

249
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: in the Northern Hemisphere, in order to get these balance

250
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: sheets back online. And that's assuming good weather. So did

251
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: the pandemic play any roll in this? It seems just

252
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: like a big miss here on people's supply side models

253
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: and demand models. Um, it's true. The pandemic was really

254
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: confusing because right when it hit, we assumed we'd use

255
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: a lot less corn for f F and all, and

256
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: we did, but the the use of that has come

257
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: roaring back. People panicked, particularly about the use of wheat.

258
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: We thought, you know, no more cruise line and no

259
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: more casinos, no more big parties. And you know, a

260
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: cruise line will get twenty tons of wheat delivered to

261
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: it at a time on big palettes because they're making

262
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: homemade breads and you know the hots and everything for

263
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: their bars, and people panic. Well guess what, everybody went

264
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: home and became a home chef. For a while. The

265
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: number one search on the internet globally was for banana bread.

266
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: And we actually used the quarter on quarters one of

267
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: those quarters last year. Yeah, there you go. And and

268
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: we we use more wheat by one percent according to

269
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: the Wheat Board or somebody, and and that's a really

270
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: big deal. We're actually using more, that's the key. We

271
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: use more grains. The combined use of corn, soybeans, and

272
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: wheat everything all year and we've we've studied this back

273
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: to nineteen is either a global record or they just missed.

274
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: So it's the second highest. It's always rising. So when

275
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: you have these temporary supply disruptions like lower acres than

276
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: you expected, like poor weather in Brazil for the for

277
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: the second crop corn, these are big deals. And that's

278
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: why we've seen this price appreciation, which should hold more

279
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: than a year. I've learned more in the last year

280
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: about different variations of wheat and flour than ever in

281
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: my life. I've made bread for the first time in

282
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: my life. I've made pasta for the first time in

283
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: my life. So you're you're spot on in terms of that,

284
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: because I'm not somebody who ever spent time in the

285
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: kitchen before. Are there any softs that um, where supply

286
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: is just way too high and people didn't didn't use

287
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: as much as we thought they would. Um, you know,

288
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: nothing jumps out. I mean people are getting a little

289
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: nervous about coffee. People that you know, there's enough sugar.

290
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: That's another interesting thing. The short answer, no, but they're

291
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: in commodities, especially aggri cultural commodities, there's either enough or

292
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: there's plenty. We don't ever run out because your price ration.

293
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: You know, people don't starve because there isn't enough food

294
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: in the world. They start because of other reasons, politics

295
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: and logistics. But so look at it this way. When

296
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: you're having a birthday party at your house and for

297
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: five people, and you bought the six inch round cake,

298
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: that's great, and you have plenty and the doorbell rings

299
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: and five more people come to surprise you when you

300
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: look at that cake and you go, well, there's enough.

301
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: That's what we're experiencing right now. There's either enough or

302
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: there's plenty, and that's why the markets get nervous right away.

303
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean soybeans in the US, we've gone from a

304
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: forty eight day excess supply down to a ten day

305
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: excess supply. That's that's unbelievable. Um, we only have ten

306
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: days of soybeans left over at the end of this

307
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: coming year, assuming a good crop and a good harvest.

308
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: We all know about that. We all know about the

309
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: lumber prices as well. It's a fascinating story as well.

310
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: I have to have you back on in the future.

311
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Sal Gea Barty, thanks so much for joining us. He

312
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: is the CEO of two Cream. Now let's talk a

313
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: little bit with Laura Martin. She's a senior analyst at

314
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: Needham and Company, coming to us out of Los Angeles.

315
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: And we've had some pretty big media companies out with

316
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: earnings and coming out still this week among them. I

317
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: know Paul has has done some work on a n

318
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: R and found Laura, you are one of only five

319
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: out of forty one analysts with an underperformed on Netflix

320
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: um What disappoints you about the streaming service, Well, we

321
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: think that they're the fact that a monopolis. They invented

322
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: the category, and so the people who are entering late,

323
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: especially in the last twelve months, are doing much more

324
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: innovative things around, like pricing strategies. For example, um Peacock

325
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: has a free at three, five dollar and a ten

326
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: dollar tier. That's a pricing innovation. Bundling. We're like, Disney

327
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: will give you Disney Plus standalone, but it will also

328
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: bundle with um Hulu and with the ESPN for at

329
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: thirteen dollars a month, which is a lower price than

330
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: the Netflix standard price of fifteen dollars a month. And

331
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: then we're seeing a lot more cross promotions with other

332
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: types of assets. So I think there's just a lot

333
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: more innovation going on in the streamers that came late

334
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: to the party. Where especially optimistic about Discovery Plus because

335
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: David jazz Las said on his call that they're getting

336
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: five dollars for the ad lite service and another five

337
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: dollars from advertising, so they're actually getting ten dollars, which

338
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: is more than they're getting for the ad free service,

339
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: and it's more than they're getting on their linear TV network.

340
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: So that's actually the best economic model right now. But Laura,

341
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: none of them have None of those others have Narcos,

342
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: none of them have the Crown, none of um them

343
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: have Ozark. I mean there are series on Netflix that

344
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: you can't live without having seen, and everyone is waiting

345
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: for the next season, right, No, disagree. I think con

346
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: quality is necessary but not sufficient because HBO also has

347
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: that HBO Max and what content? What a lot of

348
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: these guys now has live sports and if somebody needs

349
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: to see the NFL, that is must be programming for them,

350
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: much more important than the Ozarks. So I wish I could.

351
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I wish I could get HBO. I live in this

352
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: small country of eighty million people, and HBO is not

353
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: available in Germany, but Netflix is. Hey, Laura, you know, actually, well, Matt,

354
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: just to give you a sense, Laura has been right

355
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: here on the next Netflix called the stock down five

356
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: percent year to date versus calling on eleven or twelve

357
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: percent gain for the SMP. So it's been a good call, Laura.

358
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: We've also had some of the big internet companies report

359
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: this week, and I know you've covered this space since

360
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: its inception, and you have a great feel for the

361
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: the advertising market. We saw some of the big players

362
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: like Google and Facebook really do well and put up

363
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: some blockbuster numbers. But when you go to some of

364
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: the smaller players like Pinterest and then last night Twitter,

365
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: not so much. So are we seeing, you know, a

366
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: creation of a bifurcated digital ad market. We are the

367
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: all of the big ad tech that I cover, which

368
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: is Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple, all of them over

369
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: reported dramatically, UM and not only at the top line,

370
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: they more even more dramatically overperformed usually over performance at

371
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: the ets line. So what we're seeing is a continued

372
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: consolidation of revenue into the big fangs, which are which

373
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: are competing with each other with the best programmers around,

374
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: in the best innovation around. UM. I mean Twitter is

375
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: I can't imagine counting Twitter among the others just because

376
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: it's so small and so niche. UM. But in terms

377
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: of the big ones, what's the concern? And I see

378
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: you have a buy on um, Amazon and Apple, but

379
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: on Facebook you have a hold, you have buy on Google.

380
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: In terms of these big giant platforms, what's the regulatory concern?

381
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: So I think regulatory we have a whole hold on

382
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: Facebook because we see the regulatory concerns most there. I

383
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: think Facebook has sort of irritated everyone in Washington, d C.

384
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: Regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, and

385
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: and in part because I think those people are afraid

386
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: for their jobs. I think they believe that Facebook moderates

387
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: content to gause Republican voices, so our conservative voice is

388
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: what's call it. So I think that that's actually an

389
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: existential threat to those people's job security. So I think

390
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: it's most likely to be regulated. Um, I don't really

391
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: worry that much about either Apple or Amazon particularly. My

392
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: opinion is that every company sewing Apple, which is Spotify,

393
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: and um Fortnite, which is Epic Games, and so Facebook

394
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: just picked a big fight with Apple, will lose. Apple

395
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: will win because what Apple delivers is one billion unique

396
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: users and a billion and they have six hundred million

397
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: subscribers now, so the value they're bringing to consumers at

398
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: a two thousand dollar price point is sort of second

399
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: to none. So I leave their platforms will win every

400
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: regulatory battle. Laura, We've now got just about every one

401
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: of the traditional media companies that you have long covered

402
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: on Wall Street is now out with a streaming service.

403
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: Is it too early to rank winners and losers? Is

404
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: that reflected in your ratings? How do you think about

405
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: some of the traditional media players as they try to

406
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: to morph into you know, kind of streaming first stories, right,

407
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: So what I would say is this, um, it isn't reflective.

408
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: So a the industry design at maturity. So let's call

409
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: that five years in my opinion, will be three services

410
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: in the upper left that have fifty or sixty million

411
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: subs each, and those are all the broadcasters as their anchor,

412
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: tenanted by the broadcasters who have live sports and live

413
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: news and the pocketbooks to create live original content. So

414
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: that's Peacock, Paramount Plus and CBS UM and NBC which

415
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: is no, I'm forgetting one whatever the other broadcaster is,

416
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting who it is UM. So those three are

417
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna win. I do not think Leftflix wins. And in

418
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: the other quadrant we have specialty or let's call on

419
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: passion streaming services. I would put Discovery Plus down there,

420
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: and I put w w E down there in the

421
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: surfing channel, in the History channel and brick Box. And

422
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: so I think people on average will take four or

423
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: five services, of which three are the general entertainment services

424
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: and then the other you know, one or two per

425
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: house will be passion services. That's how I think it

426
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: plays out in the end, and I and I would say,

427
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: for sure our sell on Netflix tris like that, but

428
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: I would say we should be probably more positive on Discovery.

429
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: But this year they're going to have huge losses from

430
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: peak spending on launching Discovery Plus and the Olympics, which

431
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: costs them like a fortunate when they have it. Also

432
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: when I tried to subscribe to here but not available

433
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: in Germany, these people need to do a little bit

434
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: more work if they want to access a big market

435
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: like this. But you don't think, Laura, that we're headed to.

436
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: You know, somebody's gonna have the brilliant idea to bundle

437
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: all these streaming services and make a set top set

438
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: top box and then sell them all together like new cable.

439
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: Oh I do. I think that's what I Sanity is

440
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: going to do. I think that's what Comcast will do, um,

441
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's what the consumer wants. Paul.

442
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: The whole reason we debundle, the big big bundle is

443
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: because people want the choice to individually subscribe for these

444
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: all right, Laura, real quickly ten seconds. You live in

445
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Walt Disneyland. Disney Land just open today, are

446
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: you going? Yes, absolutely, as soon as I could get

447
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: a ticket. They've raised prices again, but much lower attendance

448
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: is fabulous. There you go, Laura Martin, thank you so much.

449
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Yeah. Absolutely, Laura Martin. She's a senior
