1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance. Nominal GDP is actually slowing now.

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: We've gone from almost five percent in late down to three.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: If you look in this recovery, and especially since the

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act passed, virtually all of the job growth

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: has been in full time jobs. What's changed, I think

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: as we've kind of reached full employment and there's a

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: number of inflation indicators that are finally coming to life.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Here a little bit Bloomberg Surveillance, your link to the

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: world of economics, finance, and investment on Bloomberg Radio. Good Morning,

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: I Michael McKey along with Tom Keene. It is seven

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: am on Wall Street. Eight pm in the port of Shanghai,

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: where things were quiet in February two. Quiet for investors

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: who are selling off on a drop in Chinese exports.

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Never mind China was on a holiday for ten days

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: during the month. Markets looking for a reason to sell off,

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: and sell off they are right now. The stock six

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: hundred down three points, just about a percentage point. The

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: docks is off a hundred eleven points one point one percent.

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: This in spite of the fact that they had a

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: very strong industrial production report that according to some analysts,

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: is going to mean stronger growth in the first quarter.

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: For Germany, u S features lower eleven points down for

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: the SMP EMNI features at six tenths half a percent

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: for Down features down eighty five, nantac emnies down by

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine seven tenths of percent, And believe it or not,

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: these are all improvements off the lows of the day.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: Analysts say the rally maybe a bit tired, needs a breather.

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: The catalyst of higher oil prices isn't there today, at

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: least not at the moment. West Texas down by four

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: tens fifteen cents at thirty seven seventy five brands still

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: well over forty dollars forty seventy six cross that mark yesterday.

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: That's a two tenths decline. Now those are pairing their losses,

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: so we will see what impact oil has on the

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: markets later today. The oil dollar correlation seems to be

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: at work today, the dollar higher against most of its

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: major trading pay airs. BONN yields are down the tenure

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: at one point eight five percent, the five year one

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: point three seven eighty eight basis points your two year

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: Thursday's ECB decision. With their rates, they're a lot of

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: talk about even more negative rates. But Germany's two year

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: yield higher this morning at negative fifty six basis points.

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about that with Dutch BIG's dominant custom

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: in a few moments the first time. Today is International

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Women's Day. I don't know how you're planning to celebrate,

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: but we have one of the world's most accomplished women

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: with her name is not Berg Dark Goodman. That's where

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Tom is going. Her name years in senior positions on

48
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Wall Street not a head of Elevate Network for Women

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: and founder of a new digital investing platform for women ELVs,

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: which I was reading through this morning. Some interesting articles

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: on there. You were telling Tom a short time ago.

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: The biggest part of the problem still people like to

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: work with people like them. And I know we can

54
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: talk and talk and talk about, you know, look for talent,

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: but people don't that necessarily. You've been dealing with this

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: for a long time. I'm wondering. We have new generations

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: coming up, younger people who may be growing up in

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: a different kind of that. That's for Tom, Honey. I'm on, Honey,

59
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm on the radio the Seventh Store. As a new

60
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: generation comes to work and gains power. Do you see

61
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: that changing old pipeline when you said that to Tom

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: this morning? Though, you know what went through my mind

63
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: that old New Yorker cartoon on the internet. Nobody knows

64
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: you're a dog. As we get more into you know,

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: work that isn't defined by sitting next to a person

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: of the same gender, does it change I think a

67
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: couple of things. I think I was very fortunate that

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: I stumbled upon being an equity research analyst, which is

69
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: just very numbers oriented. Nobody ever turned down one of

70
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: my research reports. But oh it was written by a

71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: girl or geez, she wrote it on a Sunday afternoon

72
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to a Thursday because she was doing the

73
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: whole work life balance thing. So I think there's that.

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: But I think the idea of relying upon it's a

75
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: pipeline issue, and the pipeline is better sit on Wall

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Street simply isn't right. I mean, we have the same

77
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: percentage of women in these investment banking classes that we

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: had when I got in in the You know, ladies

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: don't worry super super as well. I certainly hope so.

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: But you know, but but so what So I think

81
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: relying on that doesn't work. I thought it was over

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: when I got out of college. I thought the whole thing,

83
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: the whole you know, women are going to make it

84
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: as far as men. It was done, in my opinion,

85
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: But all those men got to retire at some point,

86
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: right that the people who aren't hiring people based on talent,

87
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: but based on you know, And then the question is

88
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: can we over do the younger folks have fewer gender

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: biases than we do, And maybe they do, maybe they do,

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: And I do find you know, you talk to these

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: young men and young women and they take equality as

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: being a given. But but you know, we need to

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: be vigilant because we all have these biases. And even

94
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: though the research is so clear that diverse teams lead

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: to higher returns, lower risk, greater client focus, greater long

96
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: term focus, greater innovation, that diverse teams outperformed smarter teams,

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: even with all of this, you know, you look at

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: that and you say, yeah, but that's true for other teams.

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: I want to work with my buddy Joe. Yeah. One

100
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: of the things I see here is almost a cultural thing.

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: There's a great map on on Twitter last night of

102
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: where women are doing better politically Australia all of Europe

103
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: is green on the map, and the US isn't there.

104
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: How much of the challenge that you've lived and that

105
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: you have studied here, particularly in the last ten years,

106
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: how much of it is just outright American culture? Well,

107
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: I think some of it is that we tend to

108
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: bring in pe people who are quite different when things

109
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: are really quite broken. And so Tom, You'll remember when

110
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I was brought in to run Smith Barney and the

111
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: research business of city. It's because the research business we've

112
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: had gone through scandal, it was broken. And you can't

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: tell me that part of the appeal was this woman looks, acts,

114
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: think so differently than what came before. Same thing when

115
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: I was brought in to turn around Meryll Lynch that

116
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: you know this was a broken business. Um, you know

117
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: that we've gone through the crisis. There were difficult as

118
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: great advisors, great advisors, but the attrition rate was very high,

119
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: and there was something about we need a change, and

120
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: we needed some bombing change. Some people call it the

121
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: glass cliff, bring in a woman when things are broken,

122
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: bringing a person of color. Hopefully they make it. Well, well,

123
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: let's continue that discussion. Sally Quatrick with us this morning.

124
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,359

131
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: and Sally, I want to go back to, uh, what

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: you and I've talked about many many times is I'm

133
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: seeing a lot more women go into engineering and go

134
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: into science. There's no question among you know, the friends

135
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: of my kids and all that they're they're they're going

136
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: for some form of stem um structure that makes me

137
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: hugely optimistic ten years up. They're just smarter. Yeah, well

138
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: they may or may not be smarter, but you love

139
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: to see it. What I do fret about is that

140
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: women do and girls do still get messages. Were not

141
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: good at math and I look at my old world.

142
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Well look I look at my old world. There's a

143
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: gender investing gap. There's a gender investing gap. And if

144
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: we think about Wall Street, the bent of the employees

145
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: on Wall Street, the what we do on Wall Street.

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: It's it gets mail pretty quickly, we output form, we

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: beat the market, we pick the manager. And then we're

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: telling women, you need more financial education, you need more

149
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: hand holding. You're not good at math, you know. And

150
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: women tend to because we loved we're great students. The

151
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: research is clear. We love getting those a's. We tend

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: to have all that financial education, all those documents next

153
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: to our bed, and we say we're going to read

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: them when we don't. You came from cost you came

155
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: out of Chapel Hill, and you know f F the

156
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: equals PV one plus art of the t. You know

157
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: the exponential function, you know the five ratio du punt function,

158
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: and that No, I was a journalism major. Actually okay,

159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I need a lot of basketball and beer. But point

160
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to the point. You had the initiative to learn the

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: fundamental dynamics so you could be an executive down the road.

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Do you see that trend? Bill? Yeah? But look, you

163
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: know I again, I wouldn't push it back on the women, right,

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, okay, women work harder, take other different classes.

165
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: I would say I certainly worked hard, but I did

166
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: happen into a company and a type of business that

167
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: was really gender color background blind. Being an equity research

168
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: analyst for me was such serendipity. And so don't make it.

169
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, women, you better keep changing, you know order.

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got this gender investing gap. We somehow

171
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: tell women it's their fault. Well, how about we change.

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: How about we start too as we're trying to at

173
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: last look at what they need to invest and it's

174
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily being correct. When the euro performs again, well

175
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: we need an hour with Sally Tom. We absolutely don't

176
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: have enough time. So in the very short time we

177
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: have left about thirty seconds left, why don't we let

178
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: you do a shameless plug tell us about you're going

179
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: there anyway. I am so excited about last right now.

180
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: For years I told myself women didn't need something different

181
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: on investing, But the numbers speak for themselves, and so

182
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: we've done an enormous amount of research. We're in beta

183
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: right now on Alvest digital investment platform for women that

184
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: really speaks to their needs. We're sort of keeping its

185
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: super secret right now. And then I'm also the chair

186
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: of Elevate Network, which is tens of thousands of women strong.

187
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Um it's a network that helps them advance in business,

188
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: because networking is the number one unwritten rule of success

189
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: in business. You guys do it better than we ladies do,

194
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: to quote euro again because Sally says it doesn't matter.

195
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: Fifty seven stronger yet weaker euro? Uh what does it

00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: European Union is close to a deal with Turkey on

202
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: a cap on the inflow of migrants. Turkey made a

203
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: plea at the last minute for concessions at the Brussels summit,

204
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,800

Speaker 1: dollars cell phones could be a big distraction for drivers

207
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: and people walking on the street, and the report by

208
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: the Governor's Highway Safety Association says that could be a

209
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: factor in the rise and pedestrian depths. According to the report,

210
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: pedestrian death surged by an estimated ten percent last year.
