1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: Single best idea, Where do you begin? I mean, we're

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: going to do an entire single best idea in the

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: total solar eclipse. But maybe we're all the clips dot.

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: I hope that all of you in the totality have

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: a chance, cloud cover or not to experience the total

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: Solar eclips. Thanks for the many comments I've got on today.

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: My Bill Nye bow tie treasured from Bill ny the

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: Science Guy. We did something once. I can't remember what

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: it was on, but it's good to see science and

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: astronomy out front today. Upfront today as well was great

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 2: conversation on Bloomberg surveillance. Billy's going to join us from

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Milk and just wonderfully encyclopedic on the cultural aspect of China,

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: geopolitical economics and all that. But first this we had

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: to go with Victoria Bills. She's out in Chicago's Banran

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: and she's really, really quite good, and she writes a

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: really terse note. In the heart of her note is

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: get on board, get on board Nvidia, Get on board Nevartes.

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: She's none of this value. Find something cheap and wait wait, wait,

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: wait wait someday it'll go up. She's on board the

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 2: successful stories right now, and of course one of those

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: is bitcoin. She is absolutely heated about the limitation of

23
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: supply and all the new money coming in. She hasn't

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: mince words. Bitcoin sixty seventy thousand out to one hundred

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: thousand plus, let's listen to miss Bills.

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of kind of continued traction that's

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: coming into the market because of the upcoming having that's

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: happening in April, and we already saw an uptick in

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: bitcoin pricing because of the introduction of the spot etf

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: earlier this year, which drove the price over seventy thousand.

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: So we can honestly expect, with the decrease of supply

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: that's now coming into the market for bitcoin on top

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: of that very out paced demand, that we can actually

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: expect over one hundred k and pricing by end of year.

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: Victoria Bill is a bannery and with a call there

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: a major shout out. My favorite phrase, just a little

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: inside baseball. I love to tell anybody involved with Bloomberg surveillance,

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: I stand corrected. I'm walking around with all sorts of certitude,

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: and I love it when I'm totally wrong, and somebody says,

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: Eric will say to me, a stupid you're wrong, and

41
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: I will go I stand corrected. Michael mcgloone leaves a

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: lot of our commodity coverage and he has been lights

43
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: out on the recovery of bitcoin. He's a scouts. Why

44
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: aren't we a Scoon's Eric in Miami? I mean, what

45
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: is McGlone doing that we're not doing? He's smart to

46
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: find out what that is. We need to you know,

47
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: I see a December move, you know, you know something

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: like that as well. Another move is to look at

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: the Milkin Institute. There's soiree coming up here. Leave it

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: to May. Maybe April can't remember. And their chief economist

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: is William Lee. William Lee was definitive of the IMF

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: on the Pacific rim Watch and is not chief economist

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: formul Can Institute. I love to talk to him about

54
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: China because he's got huge familial ties into China. He

55
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: talks about Chengdu or Shanghai differently than the rest of him.

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 2: Here is Bill Lee on the New China.

57
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: I think that that's a naive view. I've often heard

58
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: that said, you can invest in China and invest in

59
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: China very successfully if you follow the new principles of

60
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: investing in China, which is, you know, promote the state,

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: promote the state goals of improving the Chinese economy. If

62
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: you have that in mind and find projects like that,

63
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: you're really in good shape. Now. One of the problems

64
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: of actually implementing that in real life is due diligence.

65
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: The Chinese have made it incredibly difficult for investors to

66
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: find out what are the viable investment projects that they

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: can invest in without being told to put money in

68
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: particular places. And that's the tension is the private investor

69
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: just can't find their own means to verify things without

70
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: relying on state information.

71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: Billy and the Milicoine Institute a joy today to begin

72
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: to get through James Diamond's annual letter from JP Morgan.

73
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: Major shout out to Shanali Bassek. I think she gets

74
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: a preview. I mean she's so tight with JP Morgan,

75
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: she probably got it yesterday or the day before. Anyways,

76
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: Shanali went through it and it was a real value

77
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: out there on mister Diamond's comments on banking and new

78
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: finance like Apple and what they're doing in Quasi banks.

79
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: I guess I'll call it. I really can't say enough

80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: about this. If you're not part of Global Wall Street,

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: it's worth going in and searching JP Morgan Jamie Diamond

82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: Annual Letter twenty twenty three. It's a letter for the

83
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three annual report, and just go in and

84
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: just try to find a couple paragraphs to see what

85
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: he and his team are thinking about for Global Wall Street.

86
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: It's a long read, but really really interesting. I wish

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: we had more of these notes out from industry leaders

88
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: just know their team and all that, not just one

89
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: person yap. In a way, I can't say enough about

90
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: a careful read of the JP Morgan Annual Letter from

91
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 2: James Diamond. We're out on Apple car Play. Don't forget

92
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: the Bloomberg Business app. It's free. No pain some confusion

93
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: about this. It's free to get out on Apple car

94
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Play and of course on Google Play as well with

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Android and on YouTube. We are just humbled by the response,

96
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: not only how many of you are choosing to listen

97
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: to us through YouTube search Bloomberg podcasts, but also the

98
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: amount of time people are spending listening to us. We're

99
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: humbled that you're taking us as a part of your morning.

100
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: It is single best idea. Will do this tomorrow. Tomorrow

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: there's no solar eclipse.

102
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: Seven
