Today've always controversial, but we thought 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: I thought they did a very good job. Montano shares 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: right now are down four tents of a percent, still 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: trading in the one or nine range, even though Bayer 38 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: has offered a hundred and two dollars to share for them. Uh. 39 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: Monsto management has said that's not enough, but let's talk 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: where where do they go from here? Chris Muir is 41 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: uh the man to ask. He's an industry analyst at 42 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: SMP Capital like you and covers Moncetto and Chris um. 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: Where do they go from here? Is the folks in St. 44 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: Louis actually interested in becoming a subsidiary of liver Cuisine. Uh, 45 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: good morning. Uh. I don't think I could answer what's 46 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: going on in their heads right now, but you know, 47 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: obviously what's been said in their press releases that they 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: are open to discussions with um Bear and Uh. The 49 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: only issue that I see going forward is you know 50 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: what happens to Bear's share price as negotiations between the 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: two cars. What's great about your coverage? It's almost like 52 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: value line. You've got two single pages with a great 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: density of research. How do low interest rates affect your 54 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: analysis of a blue chip Bay or blue chip Monsanto? 55 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: And how to low interest rates effect this transaction? All 56 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: week we've been asking about Beyer's ability to finance under 57 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: certain currencies negative interest rates. I mean, it's almost is 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: if they're working with an unlimited pocketbook, can Monsanto play 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: that to a higher stock price? UM? You know, I 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: think that more than likely you're going to see a 61 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: bit of higher than a D twenty two by the 62 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: time it's all over. UM. Of course, that's all speculation. 63 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: I can't say for the sure on that, UM. But 64 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: with regard to the chief interest rates, it really is 65 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: an unusual phenomenon that we have right now with UH, 66 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: you know that being able to be raised at such 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: a cheap rate. UM, even if if they drop a 68 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: notch on the credit ratings, you know, they still get 69 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: a pretty good rate. UM. If they have to raise 70 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: more equity. From what I understand, they have a thirty 71 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: five limit on there has a thirty five percent limit 72 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: on an equity issuance before they have to go to 73 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: their own shareholders. So that gives them, uh, you know, 74 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: quite a wide latitude in which they could raise their 75 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: offer and adjust the equity portion UH if they need to. Well, obviously, UH, 76 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: if a deal goes through, current shareholders of months into 77 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: will benefit. But does the company benefit in the long run? 78 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: Do they need a merger? Do they need a bigger 79 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: corporate parent? Would that be good in the long run 80 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: for the business that they do. UM. You know, part 81 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: of their business is the uh the seeds. Uh you 82 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: know they're genetically modified organized uh genetically modified seats. So 83 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: that part of the business is relatively you know, safe 84 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: from competition. UM. You know, it's a very high cost 85 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: entry as a lot of research and development needs to 86 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: go on. The other part of their business is craft protection, 87 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: and you know, I think there is a little bit 88 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: more uh competition in that area. But again they have 89 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: a good, strong product UM, so that they're they're going 90 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: to be able to compete. Now that's uh, that's based 91 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: on the product itself. When you start to look at 92 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: the price of the product and you see all the 93 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: other mergers going on within the agricultural industry, uh there's 94 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: other mergers, mean that those companies are going to be 95 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: sucking prices or sucking costs out of their UM production 96 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: program their operations, and they will eventually be able to 97 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: offer their their products at a lower price than Mom 98 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: Santa would by itself. So I think it is to 99 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: tie up with someone Chris Mair, thank you so much, 100 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: with SMP Capital like you, I'm on saying no quick 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: look there this morning. I can't get a handle on it, Mike, Like, 102 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: do they work through the weekend? Is that the kind 103 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: of thing where it's forty executives in a hotel room 104 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: this weekend. I don't get that urgency out of this transaction. 105 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's something to look at 106 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: the impression they will continue to chat and see you 107 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: they can make something out of it. You go to 108 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: m O N Equity, you go to the Bloomberg terminal, 109 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: and you look at Monsanto. I think they're in the 110 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: seed business. Their price to twenty three times earnings, uh, 111 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: div it and growth. I'll give them that. They got 112 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: double digit give it and give it and go five 113 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: year div it and go thirteen point eight percent with 114 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: a one nine yield. I got to admit that's not 115 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: too shabby. Only twenty two thousand employees. I would have 116 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: thought they had a much bigger workforce. But Beguman and 117 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: Hugh Grant leave to charge their fre goes after months Santo. 118 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: But it's sort of what was it? What was the transit? Oh, 119 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: we're looking at the time Warner Apple Apple Time Warner. 120 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: I had no idea how small Time Warner was versus Apple. 121 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: I would have never guessed that in a million years. Well, 122 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't seem to be anything that's gonna happen. 123 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: But um Apple was investigating content and it was like, yeah, 124 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: the ft did that, and it was like, you know, 125 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: a splash of rumor and speculation. Then you move on ya, 126 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: which is what we did yesterday. We hope you liked 127 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: our informed guests.

Brian, 172 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: I really vailue your opinion on this t s a mess. 173 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Whose fault is it? There's a three hour wait at O'Hare. Yeah, 174 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: it's insane. You know, New York City airports have seen 175 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: huge wait times and even if you have a pre check. 176 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: I was in Miami the other day and the pre 177 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: check line was longer than the regular line to even 178 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: if you think you're gonna get very quickly, you may not. 179 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of people are at fault. 180 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: Clearly the t s A UH could improve its training 181 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: UH and its practices. You know this that thing is 182 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: I think eight out of in a in a test 183 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: got through the t s A. So it's not like 184 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: it's even really keeping us safe one of those things. 185 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: But is there a public good to these government officials? 186 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: There is, you know, you know, if you go to 187 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: the t's website, actually follow them on Instagram, and it's 188 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: kind of funny what they do. Catch a lot of 189 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: crazy stuff, and as we all know, people are generally crazy. 190 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: So I don't think we need some sort of protection 191 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: before getting on an airplane. Unfortunately, our systems are airports 192 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: are just overcrowded. You know, trying to get out of 193 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: Laguarity on a Friday, you're gonna wait an hour and 194 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: a half on the plane on the tarmac. So I 195 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: think our whole air travel system needs major investments, and 196 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: that's got to come from the top down, not from 197 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: any t s A manager at any one airport. Well, 198 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: that leads to the question that I mean that ain't 199 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: gonna happen, So what do we do about it? Um? 200 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: One of the things that annoys me is is that 201 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: everybody's pushing pre check and then you get behind all 202 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: these people who are in the pre check line and 203 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: take off their shoes and their belts and everything. Well, 204 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: I have never I have never gone through pre check 205 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: Michael McKee where they've told me that every time they 206 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: tell me to take off my shoes. Yeah, it's because 207 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: with training and you know, the the agents just screaming 208 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: up people. And the thing is, when they started pre check, 209 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: which is a great idea, uh, they the airlines were 210 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: also randomly adding in you know, granny into the mix, 211 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: which would completely defeat the point of pre check, right 212 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: if there were all those people who didn't understand pre check. 213 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, the government agencies definitely have 214 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: a lot of streamlining they can do. But I still 215 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: maintain we're all complaining about it. We all have to 216 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: fix it. We all have to invest major, major amounts 217 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: into our airports. I mean, the airport's United States are 218 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: like better than most developed or worth the most developing 219 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: world airports. You know, LaGuardia is horrific. Who does t 220 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: s A like stuff? Best is that the Japanese, is 221 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: that the Germans? Is it Turkey? Who who does security 222 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: at airports best that we can copy? Well, you know, 223 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: Israel does it arguably the best, but they're also pretty 224 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: growing as well. You know, you've got to get to 225 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: the airport and it's just understood in their culture that 226 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: you get there two hours in advance and you're gonna 227 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: get padded down like craziness for security. And I guess 228 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: but in is real you know, they do do a 229 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: great job of you know, weeding out um, you know, 230 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: potential threats, which are there a lot. But I'm not 231 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: necessarily advocating for even stricter uh security like that. But 232 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: you know in Asia the airports are generally run much 233 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: much better. Well it is what it is here. So 234 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: what's your advice to the people who are going to 235 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: be headed out to m Guardian other airports this Memorial 236 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Day weekend anticipating long lines? Yeah? So you know the 237 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: regular lines can be hours long. You know, first class 238 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: and priority lines can definitely save your huge amount of time. 239 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: So if you have Airline ELAFS status book on Book 240 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: on Airlines, um that you have that status so that 241 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: you can get through at least a little bit quicker. Absolutely, 242 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: get t S a pre check. You know, as much 243 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: as we moan about it, I actually got I travel 244 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: usually one to three times a week and TS pre 245 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: check in most times is under five minutes. Uh So, 246 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: definitely get pre check. It's a part of global entry. Um. 247 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: And also you know, upgrade to first first class as well. 248 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: If you don't have ELEAF status, you can use miles. Um. 249 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: It can not only where you're gonna get a bigger 250 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: seat in some cocktails, but um, you know that's the 251 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: security as well. If you're just joining us. Brian Kelly 252 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: with us for this half hour, the points guy his 253 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: terrific website, linking in intelligent use of all these miles, 254 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: everybody builds up. What I hear uniformly Brian Kelly is 255 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: the airlines are trying to get us to switch to 256 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: buying bags of grocery groceries with our miles. To a person, 257 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: people are upset about this. They want to buy airplane tickets. 258 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: When is that going to change? When do we get 259 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: back to our weekend buy airplane tickets with their miles? Well, 260 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: you can you buy air airline tickets with your moms. 261 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: It's just gonna cost show up more. And it's simple 262 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: supply and demand. You know, the degree billions and billions 263 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: of airline miles being printed every year and capacity is 264 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: not increasing. You know, airlines aren't adding tons and tons 265 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: and tons of new routes, right, so we've got all 266 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: these people with you know, this big glut of miles. 267 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: So that's why we see the airlines and hotels creating 268 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: these new ways to you know, redeem You know, at 269 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: Newark Airport you can use your United miles to buy 270 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: your omelet before you you know, are waiting for your plan. 271 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: But it's a terrible redemption value. So generally when you 272 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: see the easiest redemptions like buying things, uh, they're not 273 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: going to get you the most value. But there's still 274 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: a huge opportunity if you know how to maximize your 275 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: miles to you know, fly to Bali in first class 276 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: like I do a lot. Just oh, we are so jealous. Um, 277 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: no one knows exactly who's got We have to ask 278 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: this every time because they change these things so much. 279 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: Who's got the best UM program right now? You know? 280 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: Airline wise, I really like Alaska Airlines. They've made some 281 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: changes recently that aren't great, but you know, Alaska's got 282 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: a part of any major alliance, and you know, even 283 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: if you live in New York City, won't I'm not 284 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: flying to Alaska anytime soon. They partner up with amazing 285 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: partners like Cathay, Pacific, Emirates, British Airways in even American 286 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: and Delta, So it really gives you a lot of options. 287 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: You know, when you're when you're doing the miles game, 288 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: you can't just put all your miles in one basket 289 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: with one airline because you're set your stuff up for failure. 290 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: So it diversified. Star would preferred guests. Even though they've 291 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: been acquired by Marriott, It's gonna be a couple of 292 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: years before the program changes, you know, drastically. So I'm 293 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: still investing heavily in Alaska. And let's come back with 294 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: Brian question that way, I guess the Points can't remember 295 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: that on Alaska air Still the bring of Brian Kelly, 296 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: the Points guy, on a particularly important conversation on t 297 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: S angel all of you traveling uh this weekend, as 298 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: you heard Mr Kelly say, the only solution, Mike, We've 299 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: gotten emails at home.
