00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Single best idea, the last one of the year. We

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: will revisit in January to reframe what seems to be

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: an exceptional twenty twenty five. I just mentioned to Paul Sweeney,

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: I've never seen a holiday season with less focus on

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: how stores are doing. I don't know why that is.

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll pick up the pieces in January. One thing

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: I heard two or three days ago which I do

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: agree with, and I think it's important. We're setting ourselves

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: up for an exceptionally important earning season. Look for that

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: January twenty five ish. I think Apple's January thirtieth and

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: into early February with a frenzy JP Morgan I'm assuming

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: is I don't have it in front of me January fifteenth, seventeenth, whatever.

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: But the earning season I think this year, for the

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 2: fourth quarter will really be something on this final single

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: best idea for the year on what I watch most closely,

17
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: which is the inflation adjusted rate tips piece tenure. Here's

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: Brett Barker of TCW on the left coast. Brett Barker

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: on higher real rates.

20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: This is really reminiscent of fall of twenty twenty three.

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: If you remember back then, there was a lot of

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: talk of risk premium fiscal largess, right, and we had

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: real rates in the thirty yearth sector close to two sixty.

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: We're not too far from there now, and the ten

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: year rates within twenty base points where we were there.

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: So I think we look at that. I think real

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: rates are restricted. So for us, I think you're getting

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: close to these points. I think people are talking about

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: how we can go. It's like, well, I think at

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: this point at time, you're basically back to almost PREGFC

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: levels on real rates, and we don't think the economy

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: is the same as it was in PGFC, so we

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: think these are pretty restricted real rates.

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: That's really important statement Brett Barker TCW. Here, and this

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: is this restrictive or accommodative goes to the heart of

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: the matter. That's the debate that's engaged in economics, finance, investment,

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: and indeed redounding over to international relations as well and

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: the real rate. You know, but for those of you

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: that don't follow this, from a one point nine zero

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: ish out to two point twenty five ish is a

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: really significant move. TCW cautious there as well on a

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve, Benjamin Ladler then at HSBC. This is twenty

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: eighteen twelve, twenty four eighteen. Ben Ladler said, get on

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: board stocks. It's one of the great bullmarket calls of

45
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: all time. It's been a six year run EBB and

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: flow here COVID. I looked in two thousand and I

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: think twenty three. Maybe we had a draw down a

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: seven or eight percent. Whatever, the answer is, it's been

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: a great bullmarket. And congratulations to strategists that have led

50
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 2: on that. One who's led is from OpCo. His name

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: is John Stolfis. He writes a brilliant short accessible non

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: Mathey notes, and they talk about participation in the market

53
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: and participating with an optimism the corporations will adapt. He

54
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: has a stunning call out the SPX seven thousand ish

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: that gets you out near DOWBT forty nine thousand, Dow

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: fifty thousand, maybe with some optimism and a cup of

57
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: eggnag out to fifty one thousand on the doubt. John

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: STOFISOVOPKO the view forward.

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: First thing, I've got to say that I think the

60
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: bears got it wrong and that they thought the FED

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: was going to blow up the economy. Push US into

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: a recession with the with the Ray high cycle that

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: they started in March twenty two. Instead, the Fed was

64
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: very sensitive in exercising its dual mandate. Then the bear's

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: been really bid wrong on the consumer. We always say,

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: don't bet against the American consumer. The consumer discretionary, by

67
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: the way, is the best performing S and P five

68
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: hundred index since August fit which was the summer low,

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: which was when the market had that fullback of around

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: eight percent.

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Paul Sweeney told me to buy Walmart. I didn't. I

72
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: guess that's consumer discretionary. John Stolphus of OpCo on your
