Kathy Bost John 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 3: Chick joins a She's a chief economist at Nationwide. Kathy, 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: thanks so much for joining us here, layout for us. 10 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 3: Kind of your view of this US economy here, I've 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 3: got a Federal Reserve that's cutting rates. I'm not sure 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: how aggressive they're going to be. I got some pretty 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: decent retail sales last week, so I think the consumer 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 3: is a good place. I think the consumers got a 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: job if he or she wants one. What's your view 16 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: of this US economy right here? 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 4: Good morning, Paul. Well, the economy is quite resilient. That's 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 4: what you're seeing in the consumer spending data and and 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: and the labor market data and and it's I think 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 4: it's surprising, surprising to the Fed Reserve, surprising to many investors. Uh, 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 4: the strength, you know, continued strength. It's it's obviously welcomed. 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 4: You know, the economic expansion can continue. And I guess 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 4: gives a fit a good problem, uh to try to 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 4: think about, you know, how quickly they need to continue 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 4: to recalibrate interest rates as they say, inflation was a 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 4: little bit sticky though, uh, and that that there's a 27 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 4: little bit of a wrinkle in the plans. What they 28 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 4: want to make sure is that, you know, as they're 29 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 4: recalibrating interest rates lower, they don't stop the disinflationary trend. Uh, 30 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: in inflation that has been in place. Right, that's the 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: reason they can cut rates. We've you know, always arguing 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 4: it's really the pace of employment gains that will dictate, 33 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 4: you know, how how fast they can cut rates. 34 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 5: Kathy, what about the uncertainty around the so called neutral rate, 35 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 5: the long run equilibrium interest rate are star? What's your 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 5: sense of sort of what the Fed's thinking on that is, 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 5: is they as they undertake this recalibration as you call it. 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 4: Great question, because that you know is the guiding star, 39 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: that's the north star. And the problem is, you know, 40 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 4: as you know, the New York Fed President John Williams 41 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 4: has said many times and he's the foremost expert in 42 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 4: the area. As you get closer than the star gets 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: a bit fuzzier, so you don't really know is it 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 4: two seventy five two point eight, is it three and 45 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 4: a quarter on the FED funds rate or is it 46 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: three and abcent. It's unsure at this point, so they're 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: going to use the data as guidance to tell them, 48 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: you know, how close you're getting to neutral. But I 49 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 4: think there's another there's a long run neutral, and then 50 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: there's a current neutral and based on current economic data, 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 4: you know, that's where the debate I think is ensuring. 52 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 4: You know, there's some signs really that monetary policy is 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 4: very restrictive with the housing market. Look at the auto sector, 54 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: they're really being weighed down by high interest rates. Middle 55 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: income households, low income households are struggling under the weight 56 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 4: of high utriss rates. But on the other hand, retail 57 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 4: sales continue to show a consumer that is going to 58 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 4: carry economic growth, not just you know, capping off a 59 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 4: strong third quarter, but momentum into the fourth quarter. So 60 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 4: that really is the debate for the Fed. We think 61 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 4: they'll continue to cut interest rates. We still have in 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 4: our baseline and a twenty five base point rate cut 63 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: in November. We have another one in December, but both 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: of those odds, you know, have diminished. There is more doubt, 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 4: I think among FED officials do do we really need 66 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: to keep cutting rates, especially since they cut rates fifty 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: basis points in September? 68 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: Kathy, how about the labor market here? We got a 69 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: you know, top line unemployment rate four point one percent 70 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: or so. That seems pretty darn solid to me, but 71 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: some folks tell us some of the recent trends has 72 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: been a little troubling. How should we think about this 73 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: US labor economy? 74 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 4: It is an interesting picture. So on one hand, there's 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: still pretty good demand overall for workers, and the unemployment 76 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: rate reflects that very low four point one percent. On 77 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: the other hand, where you look at the jobs that 78 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 4: are created from the Establishment survey, they're very concentrated in 79 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: health and education and also leisure and hospitality. Now that's 80 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 4: not unusual for economic cycles. You could continue to see 81 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: the economy do well with this high concentration, but it 82 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: also tells you again it's a sign that high interest 83 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 4: rates are hurting the cyclical sectors of the economy. So 84 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: you'd much have much rather have a broad based employee games. 85 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: Right now, it's really highly concentrated. 86 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 5: You talked just a moment ago, Kathy, just about following 87 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: the data. How much of this is data driven? We 88 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 5: have a cacophony of fedspeak this week today, four of 89 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 5: them as I count them, Mary Daily speaking, Lori Logan 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 5: of the Dallas Fed, Neil Kashgari, Jeffrey Schmid of Kansas City. 91 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 5: What are you listening for in all of those speeches? Again, 92 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 5: it seems like there's such monumental uncertainty just a couple 93 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 5: of weeks away, fifteen days away till this election, we 94 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 5: might not have a result by the time the FED 95 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 5: meets Once again, how valuable are the insights from these 96 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 5: FED officials, just bearing in mind that uncertainty that looms 97 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 5: so large. 98 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: I think it's very valuable because they are that's the 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 4: fuller guidance, right, and that's one of the tools that 100 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 4: they can offer the markets, is this verbal guidance. 101 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 6: You know, there's six. 102 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: Weeks in between meetings, so this is our time to 103 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: give you know, their thoughts. On the other hand, they're 104 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 4: all individuals, so you're not getting a consensus view, but 105 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 4: you can pick up Where are the doubts increasing, Like, 106 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 4: are they leaning forwards saying you know what, we know 107 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: economic data have come in stronger, but we're still really 108 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 4: restrictive and I think we can continue to lower rates 109 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: and we have room. 110 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 6: To do that. 111 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: Or is there some concern that maybe, hey, maybe we 112 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: need to go a little slower, even slower than the 113 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 4: markets thing because we don't want to revive inflation. 114 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 3: Kathy, thanks so much for joining us. Really appreciate getting 115 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 3: a few minutes of your time. Kathy Bastoncik. She is 116 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: the chief economist at Nationwide. 117 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. Catch us live 118 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: weekday afternoons from seven to ten am Easter Listen on 119 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: Apple car Play and Android Auto with a Bloomberg Business app, 120 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 2: or watch us live on YouTube. 121 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: My question simply is do we trust any of the 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: polls here? I can't, you know, I don't know. Sometimes 123 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 3: they tell us the last election they were pretty accurate 124 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: as it relates to the popular vote, but I don't know. 125 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 3: I just think back to all the other elections. I 126 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 3: think about Brexit, how bad they were on that one. 127 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 3: Henrietta Tres she does this kind of stuff for a 128 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: Living Change the manager partner in Vada Partners, Henrietta, Are 129 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 3: there any polls that you look at that you feel 130 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: like are maybe more representative and than others and kind 131 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: of what are they telling you these days? 132 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 6: Great question, Thanks. 133 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 7: I actually really enjoy the fact that we are in 134 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 7: the early voting process already, so now we can start 135 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 7: to move or at least add on to our data 136 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 7: sets by incorporating the early voting data as opposed to 137 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 7: just the polling. So that's informative and helpful. It's not 138 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 7: for the faint of heart. It is worse than day trading. 139 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 7: You get these huge baskets of data that swing the 140 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 7: vote totals by these massive margins every single night. 141 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 6: But nonetheless, if you're really digging into. 142 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 7: The weeds, you can start to watch early polling data, 143 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 7: which is very exciting and right now. Effectively, what I 144 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 7: would say is pay attention to the really great poles 145 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 7: that are done by you know, tried and tested pollsters. 146 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 7: So the New York Times swing state poles are particularly valuable, 147 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 7: and then all the Bloomberg Morning Console pole, which is 148 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 7: more frequent, is very valuable. 149 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 6: Stick to the big ones. 150 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 7: There is a flood of poll right now that is 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 7: coming from the campaigns themselves, and those tend to have 152 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 7: pretty stark biases three or four points in favor of. 153 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 6: Whichever candidate right now. 154 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 7: A number of those like Atlas, Rescues and Trafalgar are 155 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 7: coming from Republican outlets, So you're going to see a 156 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 7: republic event, which is what the pools are showing you 157 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 7: right now. 158 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 5: Well, speaking of bias, the audience knows I bring my 159 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 5: North Carolina bias to the show when I fill in. 160 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 5: And here's a number that stood out to me. One million, 161 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 5: eighty one hundred and twenty three. That's the number of 162 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 5: early votes we've seen cast in just four days, and 163 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 5: this is a state of about ten point five million. 164 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: People. 165 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 5: Talk a bit about early voting and if this seems 166 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 5: like an outsize level of enthusiasm so far, sort of 167 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 5: what we know just a few days in for how 168 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 5: many people are voting early, and what that says perhaps 169 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 5: about the trajector here going to election day on the fifth. 170 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 7: It's really exciting, and congratulations on having North Carolina on 171 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 7: your radar. And I'm sure you have friends and family 172 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 7: that are in the area that you're getting feedback from 173 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 7: in real time. 174 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 6: And anecdotal stuff. 175 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 7: North Carolina and Georgia are breaking records for turnout. I 176 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 7: would say probably the main takeaway for me now is 177 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 7: that Republican voters are voting early in much greater frequency 178 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 7: than they have in the past, and about double the 179 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 7: rate of Democrats. So that's the case in Nevada, for example, 180 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 7: which I was just spending some time with this morning, 181 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 7: and effectively what's happening is Republican voters have been very 182 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 7: exposed to this idea of an. 183 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: Election that may be stolen and what have you. 184 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 7: The Republican governors in those states and Republican operatives like 185 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 7: North Carolina and Georgia in Nevada have been spending millions 186 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 7: of dollars trying to encourage their voters to come to 187 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 7: the polls early, and that is. 188 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 6: Really panning out. 189 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 7: So you're seeing these substantial increases in Republican voters who 190 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 7: usually vote on election day coming to vote early, and 191 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 7: that's I think a main driver of that record turnout number. 192 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 3: Henry Henrietta, what do we know about I guess the 193 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: down ballot situation for some of these key states, key seats. 194 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: What are we hearing and how do you expect that 195 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: to play. 196 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 7: Out down ballot's really still moving very substantially for the 197 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 7: entire year. As we've discussed in the past, Democratic candidates 198 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 7: in the Senate seats like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, 199 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 7: et cetera, they've all been leading the top of the 200 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 7: Democratic ticket, whether that's Kamala Harris or Joe Biden. Throughout 201 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 7: the year, they've been pulling ahead five, six, ten points. 202 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 7: As the final voters decide which direction they're going to go, 203 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 7: the delta between Democratic senators and Republican Senate candidates has 204 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 7: dropped substantially, and now voters are going to the direction 205 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 7: that they have since twenty sixteen, which is they're going 206 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 7: to vote party line down the ballot. So what we're 207 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 7: starting to see is material tightness for the Democratic candidates 208 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 7: in Pennsylvania. We're starting to see that tighten up in 209 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 7: a state like Arizona and Nevada where the Democrat is 210 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 7: still comfortably ahead, but the Republican under or challenger is 211 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 7: starting to move a little bit further up in the 212 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 7: polls as voters decide which direction they're going to go. 213 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 7: At the top of the ticket, Kamala Harris Donald Trump. 214 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 7: So we're seeing that the races are really tight. My expectation, 215 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 7: with ninety percent odds is that Republicans are going to 216 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 7: control the Senate next year, and that's mostly a virtue 217 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 7: and a factor of Montana. In Montana, Donald Trump is 218 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 7: on track to win by twenty one points, and that's 219 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 7: a bridge too far for any Democratic incumbent to supersed 220 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 7: Usually a down ballot senator can outrun the top of 221 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 7: the ticket by about four or five points. But for 222 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 7: John Tester, the Senator from Montana, he's underwater now already 223 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 7: against his Republican challenger, and then he's underwater by about 224 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 7: fifteen to seventeen points against Donald Trump at the Republican 225 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 7: top of the ticket versus the Democratic ticket. So my expectation, 226 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 7: almost regardless of how the swing states go, is that 227 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 7: Republicans will control the Senate next year. 228 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 5: Henria, let's talk a bit about Elon Musk. He spent 229 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 5: his college days in Pennsylvania. He's back in the state 230 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 5: spending a lot of money, and the thing that's getting 231 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 5: a lot of attention this morning is his that's almost 232 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 5: like a sweepstakes. If you sign his pledge here to 233 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 5: support the First Amendment and the Second Amendment. You're in 234 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 5: the running to win a million dollars a day. My 235 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 5: eyebrow is raised as a result of seeing that, wondering 236 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 5: if that's legal. I gather there's some interest on the 237 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 5: Democratic side and getting law enforcement to look into what 238 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 5: he's pledging to do. 239 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 3: There. 240 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 5: Talk a bit about that scheme, if you would, what 241 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 5: you make of it, but then more broadly, sort of 242 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 5: how he's changing or trying to change the ground game 243 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 5: in Pennsylvania. 244 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, a couple of really good points here. 245 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 7: First, it's illegal to buy votes, and so what Elon 246 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 7: Musk is doing is he's buying signatures. He's trying to 247 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 7: get you to sign up to support the First and 248 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 7: second Amendment. 249 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 6: He's also trying to get you to sign up to 250 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 6: register to vote. 251 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 7: That is a technicality that is different than actually buying 252 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 7: your vote on election day, So he's circumventing that part 253 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 7: of election law. 254 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 6: Democrats are of course screaming. 255 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 7: About it because it's designed with a monetary value behind 256 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 7: it and it's about voting, so they're trying to get 257 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 7: the Elections Commission involved. But that is the way that 258 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 7: he asides stepping that issue. I think you're seeing as 259 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 7: a general strategy from the Republican camp from Donald Trump 260 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 7: is to farm out a lot of the campaign to 261 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 7: third parties. So whether that's trying to have a third 262 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 7: party boots on the ground program that will get you 263 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 7: volunteers and door knockers in an individual state, or in 264 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 7: the case of Elon Musk here with trying to buy 265 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 7: signatures to get registered to vote, or in the case 266 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 7: of even the predictive markets you've seen that on poly Market, 267 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 7: for example, with this sharp uptick from an estimated four 268 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 7: accounts driving the odds up to sixty one percent as 269 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 7: of this morning that Trump will win. This is all 270 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 7: sort of third party designed to influence voter perception in 271 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 7: the final days of the campaign, and you still have 272 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 7: about twenty four percent of the individual voter base who's 273 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: undecided about which direction they want to go. What they're 274 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 7: trying to do is influence the idea of where momentum 275 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 7: is because voters like to vote for the winner. Trying 276 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 7: to give this projection in this image of winning, and 277 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 7: I think that's a big part of what the Elon 278 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 7: Musk campaign is all about. 279 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: So Elon Musk for former President Trump, maybe a mark 280 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: Cuban for Vice President Harris to these types of celebrity 281 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 3: supporters that they mean anything at the end of the day. 282 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 7: I think what Republicans are trying to do specifically is 283 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 7: turn out very keyed in media, attentive audiences and the 284 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 7: young male demographics. So for this cohort, it very much 285 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 7: could take hold that unfortunately has yet to be proven. 286 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 7: I mentioned earlier that a lot of the voters who 287 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 7: are coming out for the Republican Party right now used 288 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 7: to vote on election day, and now they're voting early. 289 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 7: What's happening is you're actually not seeing new voter turnout. 290 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 7: You're cannibalizing your election day vote. So there's a big 291 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 7: to do about a blue wall going into election day 292 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 7: that's overwhelmed by a red wave on election Day. 293 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 6: That was the trajectory we saw in twenty twenty. 294 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 7: Donald Trump has talked a lot about that in the past, 295 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 7: sort of thisocratic blue firewall. What Republicans are trying to 296 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 7: do with this media strategy and this outreach to young, 297 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 7: very online mail voters is get them to come out 298 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 7: and vote for Donald Trump. What we're seeing so far 299 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 7: is that very enthusiastic repeat Republican voters. 300 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 6: Trump supporters are very galvanized this year. 301 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 7: They're extraordinarily enthusiastic about voting for Trump, and they're. 302 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 6: Turning out early. 303 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 7: So it's not that we're seeing a new influx of 304 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 7: voters thus far. There has been strong voter registration from 305 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 7: Republicans in the last four years, but that's not what 306 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 7: we're seeing in the early returns thus far. Again, as 307 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 7: I said in the beginning, this data swings a lot, 308 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 7: but right now it's all election day voters that are 309 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 7: pulling forward, not new voters coming into the Republican poult. 310 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 3: All right, Henrietta Trez nobody better. 311 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 5: Always great to speak with you. 312 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: Always good on that one, Henrietta Trice, Thank you so 313 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 3: much again for your time.

Given us the latest breakdown of a 315 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: fluid situation, again fifteen days away from election day. 316 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. Listen live each weekday 317 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: starting its an am Eastern on applecar Play and Android 318 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. You can also listen 319 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station 320 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: Just Say Alexa, playing Bloomberg eleven thirty. 321 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: I'm sandwich between two Carolina people. David Gerr, who grew 322 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: up at North Carolina Chapel Hill and at Chapel Hill, 323 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: she's also the chief market strategist at Ridolt's Wealth Management. So, Kelly, 324 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I've got a stock market. I'm not jumping 325 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: off yet. I mean should I be jumping off here? 326 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: I'm sticking with it. 327 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 8: Well, the economy looks okay, so I don't think you 328 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 8: should be jumping off and better yet, expectations are so 329 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 8: low that I think it could lead to more of 330 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 8: a rally in the future. Of course, everybody's nervous about election, 331 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 8: the election coming up, and you know we're seeing some 332 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 8: premium in the Vics and in the ten year because 333 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 8: of that. But at the same time, I mean, what 334 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 8: post election rallies are quite typical. We're heading into an 335 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 8: earning season where you know, estimates have been cut way 336 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 8: too much, and up until a few weeks ago, everybody 337 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 8: thought we were heading for a recession, and it turns 338 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 8: out maybe we're not. So it's all about. 339 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: Expectations early days. 340 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 5: Yet in this earning season, I GUS one hundred and 341 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 5: thirteen companies reporting this week what have you been able 342 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 5: to divine from what we've gotten thus far from the 343 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 5: financials and others, and sort of what are you looking 344 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 5: for as we get kind of more fully underway in 345 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 5: the reporting period. 346 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 8: Well, obviously, earning estimates are way too low on the 347 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 8: revenue side, on the earning side as well. That's why 348 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 8: you're seeing about an eighty percent beat rate and why 349 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 8: you're seeing stocks react really well when you know companies 350 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 8: come out with these, you know, not impressive results, but 351 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 8: at least they kind of hurdle the low bar. I 352 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 8: really like the management commentary that we've heard so far. 353 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 8: I feel encouraged by the bank commentary around the economy, 354 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 8: around the consumer that we've heard. You know, I'm more macro, 355 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 8: so I don't look as much at individual companies, But 356 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 8: so far, so good. I mean, that beat rate is strong. 357 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 3: Valuation. What are the concerns, if any here for you 358 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 3: for valuation for this market? 359 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I think valuation is a distraction for people. 360 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 8: So obviously the S and P valuation is quite high, 361 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 8: but when you take out tech, the smp sits around 362 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 8: like a nineteen forward pe and that's actually quite low. 363 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 8: I mean, if you think about the average for that 364 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 8: is around seventeen historically. So what I'm trying to say 365 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 8: is that there are a lot of opportunities in this 366 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 8: market if you're willing to look for them. Valuation isn't 367 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 8: a concern for most stocks. You just have that influence 368 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 8: from big tech just kind of clouding the valuation picture 369 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 8: that you're seeing for the overall SMP. 370 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 5: So if I'm looking for them, where would you guide 371 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: me or where would you recommend that I go? Maybe 372 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 5: kind of unloved places that might be overlooked. 373 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 8: Well, we've been talking about the S and P. I'm 374 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 8: going to look outside the SMP now, I think you 375 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 8: have to look at small and mid caps, especially if 376 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 8: we think the economy can survive these high interest rates. 377 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 8: I mean, small caps were a rate story, but they 378 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 8: need a strong or even an okay economy to really 379 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 8: thrive in this environment. I mean, normally we see small 380 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 8: caps outperform in the first legs of able market. We 381 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 8: haven't seen it this time around. It's because the FED 382 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 8: has been restricting the bowl, you know, kind of depriving 383 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 8: it of oxygen through higher interest rates. So small apps, midcaps, 384 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 8: I think great sensitive sectors are dealing with the same 385 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 8: fate right now. You know, I think cyclicals look interesting, 386 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 8: but I'm not as excited to jump into them because 387 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 8: we've only seen one month of relatively okay jobs data sectors. 388 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: Are there sectors that screen well for you guys these days? 389 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 8: Well, we like looking at value over at rid hoolets. 390 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 8: I mean you have to remember long term clients, trying 391 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 8: to get them from point A to point B. I 392 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 8: think value in general is really interesting right now. I 393 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 8: think we see some value in real estate and consumer 394 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 8: staples again in those rate sensitive sectors. See a lot 395 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 8: of value in small caps. Like I mentioned to David, 396 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 8: I mean overall, just look at the unloved sectors in 397 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 8: this bowl market. What hasn't performed well? Rotate there. 398 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 5: I'm very cleo asking everybody about this, just sort of 399 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 5: how the role of the FED is sort of dovetailing 400 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 5: with what you're doing. And so it just strikes me 401 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 5: as you kind of look ahead to the election and 402 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 5: beyond this kind of monumental uncertainty, how do you see 403 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: around that? How does the FED see around that? 404 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: Again? 405 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 5: I bring this up over and over again today. It's 406 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 5: like how many FED speakers or speaking I remember we 407 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 5: heard from Austin Golesby a couple of weeks ago, saying 408 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 5: he loves, he loves getting all those perspectives. He thinks 409 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 5: it's valuable. How are you able to sort of divine 410 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 5: any sort of sense of direction from from what all 411 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 5: these folks are saying and what is it telling you 412 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 5: if you are able to. 413 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 8: Well, our clients are lucky they have me. I'm the 414 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 8: one that's stressed. 415 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: About over the lie. 416 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 5: You have to figure it out. 417 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 8: Trying to put all the tea leaves together, but ultimately 418 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 8: reminding people that these headlines these FED speakers don't probably 419 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 8: won't push you off of your financial goals. Of course, 420 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 8: the FED and what the FED does is important, but 421 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 8: what you're hearing from Goalsby and no offense to Golesby, 422 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 8: I love Goalsby, but what you're hearing from these FED 423 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 8: speakers ultimately is noise. 424 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: You know. 425 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 8: Of course FED policy is important, but right now it 426 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 8: looks like the Fed is cutting grapes gradually. I think 427 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 8: they have an argument to cut to neutral at the moment, 428 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 8: especially if we see job market data, you know, kind 429 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 8: of addling along like we've seen for the past few 430 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 8: months outside of September, and you know, a gradual cutting 431 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 8: is a really good background for the stock market, but 432 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 8: it also means that you probably need to lock in 433 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 8: rates and prepare for a potential crisis, you know, take 434 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 8: advantage of where we are now. 435 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: Cally, I know you mentioned rid Holts Wealth Management. You 436 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 3: guys think longer term. We've certainly heard that from red 437 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: Holts himself. How do you guys think about stocks versus bonds, 438 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 3: maybe even alternatives for a typical Redolts Wealth Management client? 439 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 8: Well, I mean we offer I think six or seven 440 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 8: different portfolios, different stock and bond allocations. That ultimately matters 441 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 8: most for the client in their personal situation. Again, right now, 442 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 8: with bonds, we're telling clients to think about locking in rates. 443 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 8: We don't think they'll stay here for very long on 444 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 8: the stock market. I mean we obviously we think you 445 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 8: need to be invested in risk of your assets to 446 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 8: reach certain financial goals. And you know, depending on where 447 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 8: you are, if you're an accumulator, if you're you know, 448 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 8: pulling more income from your portfolio, that's going to change 449 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 8: the allocation you're looking at. But right now, we still 450 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 8: think the stock market is quite attractive. We always remind 451 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 8: people it's expensive to miss a bowl more so, you know, 452 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 8: the risk of sitting out most of the time is 453 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 8: bigger than the risk of potentially buying at a top. 454 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 8: You know, just make sure that you have that cushion 455 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 8: in your portfolio, because we all have emotions, we're all human, 456 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 8: you know, we need a little bit of that protection 457 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 8: if we do see a bigger sell off. 458 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 5: Could you give us some insight into those conversations, because, 459 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 5: as you say, it's costly to miss out, but you 460 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 5: look at how much money is sitting on the sidelines. 461 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 5: You're trillions of dollars on the sidelines, and so much 462 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 5: in money market funds, so much in bonds. How do 463 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 5: you compel people or what are the conversations like as 464 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 5: you're trying to convince people that there is still opportunity 465 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 5: in a moment to get into equities. 466 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 8: Well, there's a lot of talk around big tech. I mean, 467 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 8: that was more of the talk in the first half 468 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 8: of the year. You know, why are so few stocks 469 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 8: driving those market higher? You know, obviously we have an 470 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 8: e toward value. So that was a harder conversation to 471 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 8: have with clients, but ultimately we reminded them that, you know, 472 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 8: over time, there's this area of stasis, and the market 473 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 8: tends to go there. You just have to, you know, 474 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 8: kind of wait it out and be prepared for a 475 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 8: bunch of different scenarios, and that actually worked out really well. 476 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 8: Over the past few months. We're seeing, you know, as 477 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 8: the Fed's cut rates, we're seeing more money of course 478 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 8: go to those value oriented stocks. But on the whole, 479 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 8: I agree with you, there's still a lot of cash 480 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 8: on the sidelines. I don't think it's a positive catalyst 481 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 8: in the next three to six months. I think there's 482 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 8: a lot of inertia there. But that's something something to consider. 483 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 8: I mean, this bull market has grown on doubt and skepticism, 484 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 8: and believe it or not, that's a healthy environment for 485 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 8: higher prices. 486 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: I'm sure your clients are calling up all the time 487 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 3: asking about the election and what they should do. I mean, 488 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: what do you try to tell. 489 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 8: Them, Well, politics don't matter if your portfolio okay, bar none. 490 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 8: There are a few caveats there. I think they matter 491 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 8: for your financial situation, especially with the tax cuts and 492 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 8: Jobs Act, certain provisions they're expiring at the end of 493 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 8: twenty twenty five. So that's mostly what we've been talking 494 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 8: to clients about. I mean, you need to plan now 495 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 8: for any changes that could happen in the next you know, 496 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 8: several months. But on the whole, we we remind our 497 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 8: clients who are more long term that, you know, it's 498 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 8: one person can't control the fifty seven trillion dollar stock market, 499 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 8: maybe j Powell, but you know, I'm not even gonna 500 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 8: go there for him.

So I want 527 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: to get to this reality for the election workers. 528 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 3: What they're living in. 529 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: This is Arizona, Macopa County. It's one of the most 530 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: populous counties in Arizona. They're reporting that some of the 531 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: workers you have buildings that are been added, metal detectors, 532 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: arm guards, but there's also police, snipers, drone patrols will 533 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: be on hand. This is for election day. Election workers 534 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: going through active shooter drills. So this is like a 535 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: whole new reality. A lot of these workers are living 536 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 1: through a lot of them volunteers too. On top of it, 537 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: so a lot of them are saying, some are scared 538 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: to come in. But why this area of Arizona, Well, 539 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: you know, it's sparked by years Donald Trump's false claims 540 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election was stolen, so he has told his 541 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: supporters it could happen again. So now you have this 542 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: whole entire security going on now in order to protect 543 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: a lot of these workers. 544 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 3: It's it's it's a new reality. In Colorado. Death threats 545 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 3: from election deniers have led some county clerks and election 546 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 3: officials to bulletproof bulletproof vests on hand, so you get that. 547 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's not just Arizona, it's like it's nationwide. 548 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they're stockpiling narcan because if you remember, they 549 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: received ballad En bulps last year that has the white 550 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: powder with the traces of fental in it. So just 551 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: a big like overall look at the security, think. 552 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 5: About like will will this continue? Obviously we saw what 553 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 5: happened last time and that's what it's informed this time. 554 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 5: But as you mentioned, so many people doing this on 555 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 5: a voluntary basis or taking these jobs apart time. One 556 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 5: wonders if the hassle of doing this and the fears 557 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 5: associated with doing it are going to keep people from 558 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 5: signing up in the field. 559 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: The hanging chad seems so quaint. Now no, yes, well 560 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 3: you got it, okay. 561 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: So Business I spoke at labor experts. They're looking to see, 562 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: because it's this whole battle back and forth, is the 563 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: college degree still a top priority for employers. So Business 564 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: Insider they spoke with a couple and they say the 565 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: employers they might no longer require a degree for certain roles, 566 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: but those doing the hiring still care whether an applicant 567 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: has one. So there's been different types of research that 568 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: has been done. Some consulting firms say that it shows 569 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: hiring for skills is five times more predictive of how 570 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: someone performs on a job than hiring based on just education. 571 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: But they also say that those hired based on their 572 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: skills rather than education, tend to stay with an employer longer. 573 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that whole thing of just 574 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, being happy that you've kind of been brought 575 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: onto this company because you don't have the degree. But 576 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: those are just some of the things that they're saying. 577 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: Whether this degree is still told just before I drive 578 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: them up and down the Jersey Shore. 579 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: Forget about the big monster houses on the beach. That's 580 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 3: all the Wall Street folks that tech whoever those people are. 581 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 3: How about everybody on the Bay side there are two 582 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 3: million dollar homes. There's tens of thousands of them just 583 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: on the Jersey Shore. Forget about the rest of the world. 584 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: And the each have a like five hundred thousand dollars 585 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 3: boat moored in the back. Who are those people? Where 586 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: did they come from? And what I think they are 587 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 3: is as I drive around, I think you're just small 588 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: business owners and they just created this wealth and that's it. 589 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 3: I mean. And there's jillions of them out there, and 590 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: that's I think a lot of them are going to be, 591 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 3: you know, coming generations from from the trades. Yeah, and 592 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 3: they don't have any college debt or any of that 593 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. You just wonder where all that wealth 594 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 3: comes from. And it's just small business, I think in 595 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 3: this country. 596 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: And then we just had that story not too long 597 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: ago that a lot of private equity pouring money into 598 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: the trades, like buying out a lot of these hvac 599 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: and plumbers and all that who are now becoming millionaire. 600 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: So there you go, all right, this is this next 601 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 3: article is not what I was expecting. Yeah, okay, sandwich generation. 602 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: Sandwich generation. 603 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 3: I hadn't heard that term before, so maybe I'm out 604 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: of low. I don't know. But those are stuff. 605 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: Between caring for the old, their older parents, and they 606 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: have younger kids. And I'm talking younger because a lot 607 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: of these who this is these are millennials who are 608 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: now reached that midlife who had kids later in life, 609 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, so now they have newborns, but yet they 610 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: have parents who are eighty plus. 611 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: They need care, need care. 612 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: So now it's this whole struggle of can they afford 613 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: one daycare and then two, you know, to pay for 614 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: these aging parents who may not have prepared for staying 615 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: alive this much longer, and elder care is. 616 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: So so expensive. 617 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, eleven million people in this boat in this country, 618 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 5: which is you know, a sizeable chunk, right, that's crazy. 619 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 620 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: And then it's taking away from their retirement because they're 621 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: putting all their money into you know, the daycare and 622 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: the elder. 623 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: Care, right. And then and some of them have to 624 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 3: leave the workforce because they have to take care of 625 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: both parts of this sandwich, if you will. 626 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: And they're saying that's it. That's a problem because most 627 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: of those people are women. They're saying, that's a massive, 628 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: massive risk for the economy if a lot of women 629 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: start to And. 630 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 5: Staffing is still a huge issue too, just because you 631 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 5: can't get people to do this kind of work. So 632 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are doing it by default. 633 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 5: You know, they want to get care for their aging 634 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 5: parents and they can't do just thrown a people doing 635 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 5: those doing those jobs. 636 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. Now, I know you're happy about 637 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: the New York Clery right basking in their title. Yeah, 638 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: the sweatshirt on Friday, Okay, but the league actually said 639 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: to lose millions this season. Investors are growing and patient. 640 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: This was in the New York Post, it was exclusive 641 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: with them. They're saying the NBA, I didn't realize this, 642 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: owns nearly sixty percent of the WNBA. So sources are 643 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: telling the Post that NBA team owners they've invested hundreds 644 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in the WNBA since they formed. 645 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: But NBA executives are saying that the WNBA will lose 646 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: forty million dollars. But they're saying that, you know, starting 647 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, they'll get that two point two 648 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: billion over eleven years to part of this new basketball 649 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: media contract. 650 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 3: Right, so they have the new. 651 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: Media deals, but still then they have the contracts are up. 652 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: So now players are going to be starting to get 653 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: paid more as should. But that's another side of it 654 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: to think of. But I didn't realize it was. There 655 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: was so much behind it. It's kind of confusing to me, just. 656 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 5: The way that it's structured. Yeah, and there very few 657 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 5: teams I think where they're kind of single owned, but 658 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 5: the liberty are I think that it's owned by one 659 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 5: family now. But it is kind of jarring to kind 660 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 5: of look at the crowds that they were able to 661 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 5: pull for the semifinals in the finals, especially, you know, 662 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 5: filling up not completely but most of the Barkley Center 663 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 5: last night, and the same out the Target Center in Minneapolis. 664 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 5: It looks like there's momentum here, but it's still a 665 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 5: financial challenge for a lot of. 666 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 3: All comes down to the broadcasting right now. So if 667 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: I were revising, if I were advising the teams, I 668 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 3: would not sign a long term deal. I would sign 669 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 3: a short term deal. 670 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: And why is that? 671 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 3: Because their rights are going up in value so dramatically 672 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: that why lock yourself into a value today for eleven 673 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 3: years when I think I can come back in three 674 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 3: years of five years and negotiate a much higher rate. 675 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 3: So I would go short term. I think they're making 676 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 3: a mistake to lock in these higher rates, but I 677 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 3: can see the incentive because that's a big jump from 678 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: where they are now. But again, as you mentioned, the 679 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 3: players are going to want to get theirs and they're expanding. 680 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 5: I think they're gonna have three new teams in the 681 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 5: next season as well, and they're going to go prolong. 682 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 5: The finals are gonna do a seven game series next year, 683 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 5: So they're playing this optimistically. 684 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they're in a great spot. I think again, 685 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 3: the value for most of professional sports is in the 686 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 3: media rights. That's it counts for the vast majority of 687 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 3: the value of these teams. I don't care if you're 688 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 3: English Premier Soccer at the NFL, it's the media rights, 689 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: and so you really have to focus on them. 690 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 6: Now. 691 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 3: They're getting a nice big jump here, but I would 692 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 3: I think you've got the leverage to maybe do a 693 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 3: little bit more.
