7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: we get interesting GDP revision perspective from j Brice and

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: the chief economist at Wills Fargo. Jay, do you get

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot of value out of a second look at GDP?

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: And dare I say the third look?

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: You know, there's a little bit of value in the

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: sense of what you get in the second release is

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: the first estimate of gross domestic income. It's the income

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: side of the national accounts. It should, in theory be

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: the same thing as GDP, So you know, I'm not

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: sure what that came out. As you get some of that,

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: you also get corporate profits, which are also important for

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: the economy. So you know, I look at more of

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 2: the income side of things that in the second look

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: here than I do.

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: And you know, in terms of the demand components.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: Jay, how to data dependent? Can you be if you

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 4: can't rely on the data.

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's you're always flying blind in this economy.

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: And I guess what I would say, at least right now,

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: is is you know, there's a lot of choppiness, there's

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: a lot of noise out there. I mean, I kind

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: of the big picture here, I think in terms of

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: the economy, is it continues to expand. It seems a

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: a I call it modest pace at this point. The

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: labor market, I think, in general, is holding in there.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: And I think we know that inflation has come down,

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: but it remains kind of elevated. And so I think

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: that's the real narrative that we have to you know,

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: we have to manage to at this point.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: Well, the narrative has been all over the place this year,

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: as we all know, as we've all been trying to track.

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering whether this idea of immaculate disinflation moved

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: to perhaps rapid inflation. Now it'll slowly go away and

40
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: we don't have to worry about it anymore. Is the

41
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: market underpricing the risk of having to worry about inflation

42
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 4: for a longer period of time forcing the Fed's handle

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: a little bit more.

44
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: I think least that there's something to be said for that.

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at market pricing, and you

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: folks were talking about it earlier, you know, at the

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: end of the year there's rate cuts priced in there.

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: I think some way to make sense of that would

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: be the market isn't really good at making precise estimates

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: of probabilities. One way to look at that is a

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: low probability of a really big move by the end

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: of the year because something has blown up, whether it's

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: the debt ceiling or something else along those lines. But

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: if that doesn't happen, then I think that there's a

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: really good possibility that or there's a possibility that you

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: could get stuck at an inflation rate that's higher than

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: three percent, And I don't think the market is priced

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: for that, because I don't think the Fed would be

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: cutting in that situation, nor would they actually probably.

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: Be on hold, probably raising rates even higher.

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: Jay the heritage of Wells Fargo economics, from John Silvia

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: to J Brice and has just been brilliant on the demographics,

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: the movement, the fabric of this nation. Do you believe

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: in a rolling recession. I mean, we're aggregating in even

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: to the silliness of an Nber estimate of this dreaded

66
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: our word. But should we have a belief in a

67
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: rolling recession given all of the fractured parts of the

68
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: American experiment?

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Tom, and I think there's you know, it

70
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: depends on your definition. And rolling recession is I tend

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: to think of one as hitting different sectors at different times.

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: And so you know, if you look at housing, Housing

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: clearly slumped last year, there's some evidence to suggest that's

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: probably stabilizing. Manufacturing at best has kind of topped out.

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: The thing that's holding in there right now is consumer spending.

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: And you know, if you kind of go forward here,

77
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: if you do have weakness in housing, if you do

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: have weakness in manufacturing, you could see some job losses

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: there and then that could then bleed over into consumer spending.

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: And so you could have not all sectors.

81
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: Going down at the same time, but you could have this,

82
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, as you talk about this kind of rolling,

83
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: you know, sort of recession thing going.

84
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: On, and you Madge, the smartest thing I've heard today

85
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: was Lisa Bramowitz, our airline analyst on Delta Airlines. I mean,

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: that's a single smartest thing I heard this week. Is

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: completely ginormous sold out. And that's personal consumption, and in

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: one way that's personal consumption.

89
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: It's absolutely personal consumption, so your whole paycheck if you

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: try to travel a lot. I do wonder Jay, though,

91
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: just going forward, whether we do see some sort of

92
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: seismic shift coming down the pike for the US, given

93
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: in Nvidia, given AI, given the tech giants that were

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: left for dead sort of and then suddenly reprise their

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: greatness this year. Do you think that this is a

96
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: lasting trend that has implications for jobs, that has implications

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: for a gross domestic product.

98
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely.

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: I Mean the way I think about it is AI

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: is a potent a productivity game changer. You know, it's

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: it's another you know, I don't want to get too

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: dramatic here, but you know, industrial revolution. You know, maybe

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: it's not an industrial revolution, but it's kind of like

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: when we first went to the networking of computers and

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: the internet back in the late nineteen nineties.

106
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: I think it's even bigger than that as it comes along.

107
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: You know.

108
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: The issue though, obviously, is not only is that a

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: productivity game changer. It has profound right, social and political

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: implications and that's going to last for years and years

111
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: and years.

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: Doctor Bryson, thank you so much for joining us. Brilliant

113
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Jay briceon there, Wells Fargo, Parson, Yes, claim some news there.

114
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Thank you to our Washington team for that great reporting

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: on Massachusetts claims fraud. This is a joy. Douglas Holtz,

116
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: ecan out of the Princeton Shop, has done serious work

117
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: on the debt and the deficit. I'm not going to

118
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: demean him by asking him about Oval Office discussions of that,

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: but I mean I canna ask him about where we are,

120
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: of course, is work with the Congressional Budget Office and

121
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: President of American American Action Form, Doctor Oltzik. And I'm

122
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: going to cut to the chase you go where the

123
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: CBO goes, which is to try to estimate our growth

124
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: rates of revenues, which I think is called taxes and spending.

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Where are those glide pasts going to be after this

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: debt crisis.

127
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: I think it's important to recognize that regardless of what

128
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 5: deal has ultimately struck, it will put the tiniest of

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 5: dents in our fiscal challenge. The fundamental problem is in

130
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: the large and titlement spending programs, they're off the table.

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 5: There's a room to raise more revenue that's off the table.

132
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 5: So we're not addressing the issues that face the federal government,

133
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: the budget and awestly. Until we get serious about slowing

134
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: the growth rate of the big and talent spending programs,

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: the budget will never end up. They'd simply grow much

136
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: faster than revenue. Ever plausibly will.

137
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I look where we are, and we need

138
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: a commission. So we need a commission with people with

139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: z in their names, so I can really see orzeg,

140
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: whole teaken or whole teacn orzeg is an intelligent commission

141
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: that Americans would know as intelligent people coming to an

142
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: intelligence solution. And yet we're not talking about that. Why not?

143
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 5: This is politics, That's all there is to it. The

144
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: issue is not the debt ceiling issue, not default. There's

145
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: unionimity that we have to raise the debt ceiling. There's

146
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 5: unionimity that we should not even come close to defaulting.

147
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: There's a big disagreement about the future of fiscal policy.

148
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: I think it's healthy that this has been highlighted to

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 5: the American people. My concern has been that in the

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: twenty first century, we've never seen the debt do anything,

151
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 5: would go up, even relatives to the economy, and there's

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: never been the political wherewithal to stabilize it, which is

153
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 5: I think the necessary condition for the US, and we

154
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 5: really haven't talked about it if you think fact to

155
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 5: the presidents we've had. I worked for George day Bush

156
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: I fron greatly, but his budget said let's win the

157
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: war on global terror. Look at the eight years of

158
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 5: the abodm administration. The only thing that they said about

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 5: the federal budget that might be a problem is the

160
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 5: rich didn't pay their fair share. The Trunk administration said

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: nothing for four years on and deficits, and the Biden

162
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 5: administration came in with really enormous plans to just expand spending.

163
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: And so the American people can be excoose or not understanding.

164
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: We have a big problem and we do well. But

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 5: it's time they were told that and that, you know,

166
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 5: addressing it is the thing that we have to do next.

167
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: And Doug they've perhaps been told that, but as Leslievinjamory

168
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: said of Chatham House earlier in the show, it doesn't

169
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: mean that they're going to accept that they get less

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 4: at any given day, that they're going to get fewer benefits,

171
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: and there does seem to be a shift on both

172
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: sides of the aisle to adding whether it's respect to

173
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: investing in technology, whether it's respect with respect to investing

174
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: in infrastructure, or whether it's just the spending that we

175
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: already have in place. It doesn't seem likely that we're

176
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: going to see restraint in the near future, regardless of

177
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 4: what comes from this budget. What's your view in terms

178
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 4: of what it would take to make people truly care

179
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: about a debt limit that doesn't really seem to matter.

180
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 4: If they could just kick it up and they can

181
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: keep borrowing at relatively low rates.

182
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: They shouldn't care about the delimit there's no real economic

183
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 5: crash now for having a delement or the major economy

184
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 5: and the globe that has one, and it doesn't make

185
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 5: any economic sense. They should care about the fact that

186
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: the spending exceeds the revenues as far as the eye

187
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 5: can see, and that leads to real threats. They should

188
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: care even more about the fact that because the entitlement

189
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 5: spending is claiming all the revenue, there isn't money for

190
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 5: real investments. We're squeezing out national security, basic research, infrastructure,

191
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 5: or education, the things our founders saws the role of

192
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 5: the government, and that's a serious problem for having more

193
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 5: prosperous feisure. And they should care a lot about the

194
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 5: fact that those big programs are taking all the money

195
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: and they're not financially sustainable. So Street is going to

196
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: go bankrupt in ten years. Someone who's fifty five literally

197
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: can't play and their retirement because they haven't fixed social security.

198
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: That's just unconstable. That should wagh people up.

199
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 4: What's your sense of the tax revenues. We've been talking

200
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 4: about how bumpy and lumpy it's been, and that it's

201
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 4: been underwhelming. How much is this a lack of investment

202
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 4: in the IRS and a lack of tax collection.

203
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 5: We've had a long standing problem with the IRS. It's

204
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 5: beyond merely the technology. It's an organization whose culture has

205
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: been deeply broken, and so it is time to get

206
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 5: the IRS back to its job, which is to collect

207
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 5: the taxes and do it effectively. We somewhere along the

208
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 5: line decided everything should be a refundable tax credit and

209
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 5: turn them into a benefits paying organization. They weren't built

210
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 5: to do that and they struggle with it and so

211
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: identifying its mission, getting it staffed up, giving a modern

212
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: technology are all essential.

213
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: Great to catch up doc. As always on this Douglas

214
00:10:52,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 6: Hall Teak in the American Action Forum.

215
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: It is wonderful to have Diana a MOA with this,

216
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: your chief investment Officer of Long based Strategies, Kirkanswall Capital Partners.

217
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: This morning, I want to go right to the pro discussion,

218
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: which is you people say be an EM participate in EM.

219
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: Every textbook, every paper says you have to hedge, to

220
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: hedge or not to hedge. Is the core issue with EM.

221
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: How do you hedge EM right now?

222
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 7: Well, if I'm assuming we're talking about hedging the currency risk.

223
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Here, I go either way you want. But the answer

224
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: is in financial media nobody talks about this reality that

225
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: you have to hedge EM.

226
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 7: Well, the reality is when you look at performance in

227
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 7: the marging market, it's actually been quite resilient. Two things

228
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 7: that have been quite notable in the last few months. Realize,

229
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 7: volatility in emerging market currencies and also in a marging

230
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 7: market fixed income has been much lower than in developed markets.

231
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 7: Argue part of that is one inflation outlook in development

232
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 7: market is much stickier, whilst in the emerging market things

233
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 7: appear to have picked but there was some support coming

234
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 7: through from a week of dollar in the first half.

235
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Of the year.

236
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 7: So that's the reality that emerging market right now this year,

237
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 7: If you'd hedged out your currency exposure, you'd have actually

238
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 7: been regretting it because most for the most part, EMFFS

239
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 7: has done well. Where we are right now, I would

240
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 7: say you still want to have em duration. It's a

241
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 7: trait that works in multiple scenarios of the world. Irrespective

242
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 7: of whether we have a recession in the US, whether

243
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 7: the FED cut rates or not. The outlook for emerging

244
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 7: currencies I think for the next few months might be

245
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 7: less clear cut. But if you have a rangebound dollar,

246
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 7: I would suggest actually maybe not hedging that urging.

247
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 6: Let's annoys some people with Diana. It's about it a

248
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 6: clot had the coffe They've woken up that we really

249
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 6: engaged when we talk about em Are we talking about

250
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 6: the US, the UK, Europe? Who are we talking about?

251
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 8: Well?

252
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 7: Typically people say it's the distress stories that you need

253
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 7: to watch about. Where are we talking about default?

254
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 9: Now?

255
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 7: John?

256
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: The US?

257
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 5: There you go.

258
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 7: But you know, classic definition would argue, you know, US

259
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 7: doesn't qualify for an emerging market, but certainly what we're

260
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 7: seeing right now with this default talk and the lack

261
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 7: of consensus on how to manage the fiscal situation is

262
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 7: raising some red flags and making emerging markets look relatively

263
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 7: not too bad.

264
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 6: I have a simple am test. I've had it for

265
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 6: a long long time. Go something like this, if things

266
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 6: get bad in that country, do you buy or sell

267
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 6: the debt? It's as simple as that. Now, typically in

268
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 6: development markets, what you do when things get bad in

269
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: that country, you buy the debt. Typically an EM you

270
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 6: sell it. What's happening with treasuries right now, because I'm

271
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 6: struggling with it. I know it's all at the front end,

272
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 6: the bulk of it, but treasuries is selling off and

273
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 6: have been for like the last ten days. What's going

274
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: on there?

275
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 7: Well, the thing that's interesting with the US market, you're

276
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 7: seeing these locations, particularly in front end paper, things that

277
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 7: are going to be impacted by X date the June paper.

278
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 7: We are definitely seeing this location in pricing, and that's

279
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 7: just a fact of the fact that there's no cross

280
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 7: default closes in treasuries, so they can't technically default on

281
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 7: a paper without it affecting the rest of the curve,

282
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 7: and so markets are treating it that way, and the

283
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 7: assumption is if you do get a technical default, it's

284
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 7: going to be a short, short lived story and actually

285
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 7: might tip the economy into recession. So you're seeing this

286
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 7: sort of inversion in the curve where people are buying

287
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 7: some safe, safe haven duration just to hedge against this outcome.

288
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: So for people who might consider some of the developing

289
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: world's emerging markets, some people on the set who might

290
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: make that suggestion about the US, Others would come out

291
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: and say, what about Nvidio, what about the tech giants

292
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: that have performed really well? And they relate this to

293
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: the bid for US stocks, a bid for US assets

294
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: over the past decade as being a huge driver. How

295
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 4: do you sort of play that story at a time

296
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: when emerging markets have gotten bid up so far this

297
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: year and all of a sudden, people are realizing perhaps

298
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: there's something like to the US.

299
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 7: Well, if you look at the performance in US equities,

300
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 7: I think there's a huge amount of dispersion within that.

301
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 7: So it's not a one trade for the whole U

302
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 7: S equity markets. I think it's specific themes that are

303
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: more longer term and structural, things like the adaptation of AI.

304
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 7: What's that doing to various companies and sectors. I think

305
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 7: that's a theme that's here to stay. I wouldn't say

306
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 7: that that means you buy the whole equity market, but

307
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 7: you definitely look for some of these more resilient stories

308
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 7: that are going to play out irrespective of whether we

309
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 7: go into a recession Lisa, and then from an em perspective,

310
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 7: most of these innovations are quite commodity intensive, so that's

311
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 7: also another theme. Whether you're talking about things like AI,

312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 7: electronic vehicle adaptation, the drive towards more sustainable sorts of manufacturing,

313
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 7: that's a commodity theme that's going to be also a

314
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 7: longer term story.

315
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 9: How do you.

316
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: Understand the valuation at a time or when some of

317
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: these starcks are trading like penny stacks, even though they

318
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 4: have nearly a trillion dollar valuation.

319
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 7: It's less about that than more about for more in

320
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 7: my view, So markets don't know what to do with equities.

321
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 7: We've been talking about recession, going from recessions to default.

322
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 7: People are jumping on the stories that look sustainable. So

323
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 7: the valuations right now are It's hard to say it's

324
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 7: based purely on fundamentals and more about investors being underinvested

325
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 7: in equity markets and not wanting to miss out on

326
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 7: the winners.

327
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: If you look at all the cash out there, and

328
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't mean just you know, typical investment cash, but

329
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: private equity crash, just the genormous amount of cash has

330
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: been raised, do you just assume it will float to

331
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: equities or does it just stay like a brick in cash.

332
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 7: No, I don't think we're in that world where equities

333
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 7: is the no brainer play anymore, especially not when you

334
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 7: have such interesting yields in fixed income. And I think

335
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 7: for investors that's probably the consideration where whether you're looking

336
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 7: at cash yielding close to five percent or even duration

337
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 7: in certain parts of the market. So there is money

338
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 7: definitely on the sidelines. But I think the days of

339
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 7: just buying equities blindly because you had easy monetary conditions

340
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 7: are behind us, and the investors will look at a

341
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 7: much more balanced portfolio.

342
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 6: Diana, awesome as always, I'm really good to see you

343
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 6: in person, Diana Ramo. There of Kirkus World Capital Partners

344
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 6: joining us now is Larry Adam, the chief investment officer

345
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 6: at Raymond, James Larry. Let's break this interview up in two.

346
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 6: We can talk about the debt scening. At the moment,

347
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 6: I want to talk about this row and rally in

348
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 6: tech so far this year. Is that something you want

349
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 6: to fight or participate in?

350
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 9: Now?

351
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 8: We want to participate in it.

352
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 10: I mean, if you'd look at tech, it continues to

353
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 10: reinvent itself over and over.

354
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 8: The latest generation is going to be AI.

355
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 10: And I think as you look at the visibility of earnings,

356
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 10: you continue to see a strong earning's coming. And I

357
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 10: think that that's important because a lot of people continue

358
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 10: to say that tech has gotten expensive. But when you

359
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 10: start to factor in how much tech has been able

360
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 10: to beat their earnings, I don't think it's as expensive

361
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 10: as what people think.

362
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 8: And I think that trend is going to continue.

363
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 4: Is tech just big tech or is it all tech?

364
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 4: Is basically time to go into some of the beaten

365
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: up smaller tech stocks that aren't necessarily as profitable.

366
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 8: I prefer bigger tech.

367
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 10: I mean, first of all, they're much more diversified than

368
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 10: the smaller tech companies.

369
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 8: I think that's an important discriminating factor.

370
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 10: Right back twenty years ago, tech was one trick ponies

371
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 10: where they had one product, one piece of software hardware software,

372
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 10: where they had to fight the upgrade cycle.

373
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 8: Now they're much more diversified.

374
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 10: They have plenty of seeds planet that can continue to

375
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 10: generate their earnings going forward.

376
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 8: So I continue like the big tech names.

377
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 10: And by the way, from the index levels, you guys

378
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 10: have just stated that's what drives the index.

379
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 8: So I think you have to be there.

380
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: Larry, just because you're down south, they want to go

381
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: to DeSantis. And the conference call with mister Musk that

382
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: ran like a Raymond James Swiss watch that we saw

383
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: last night, you really emphasize second half of a third

384
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: year of a presidential administration. Discuss the second half of

385
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: a third presidential year.

386
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 10: Well, I think it's important because what tends to happen

387
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 10: in the markets is that momentum tends to beget momentum.

388
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 10: And if you look at the strong start that we've

389
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 10: had to this year, the first one hundred trading days,

390
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 10: which by the way, today's the one hundred trading day

391
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 10: of the year, when it's up more than eight percent,

392
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 10: the rest of the.

393
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 8: Year tends to be strong.

394
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 10: If you look at this presidential election cycle that you're

395
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 10: referring to from June to the end of this year. Historically,

396
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 10: ninety two percent of the time the market continues to

397
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 10: be positive, and that's been consistent through time. That this

398
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 10: third year of a presidential term is fairly strong.

399
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: Does cash of five percent, four point eight percent, whatever?

400
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: Is that competition for your bullish view?

401
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 10: I mean, it's clearly become more competition today, right. I

402
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 10: think at the beginning of this year we were much

403
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 10: more positive on the equity markets with upside of fifteen percent.

404
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 10: But clearly we've had a rally and our upside to

405
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 10: our target now is around six percent.

406
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 8: So clearly it's become more competition.

407
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 10: But I still like the equity markets longer term for

408
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 10: people that have a long term horizon.

409
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 6: Some went to the politics finished there, Larry, the desk

410
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 6: sitting debate at the moment, what do you actually came

411
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 6: in the clients should do?

412
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 10: I still think that this what's going on down in

413
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 10: Washington is still pretty much noise, right.

414
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 8: I mean, I think.

415
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 10: The looking putting, you know, the US on watch by

416
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 10: Fitch is just another warning sign across the bow. I

417
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 10: think in the end we get a deal at the

418
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 10: very last second. If we don't, I think the downside

419
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 10: in the market is probably five to seven percent. But then,

420
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 10: as I always say, the fourth arm of the government,

421
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 10: the stock market, will come to the rescue. We see

422
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 10: it down, you know, we see that downward movement in

423
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 10: the equity market. That'll bring people back to the negotiating

424
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 10: table and we'll get a deal done and we'll move forward.

425
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: Is there a signal here that you're sealing dollar strength

426
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 4: despite the concern of a US default. This is basically

427
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 4: fly in the face of people who were questioning the

428
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 4: pre eminence of the dollar as the global currency and

429
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: prompt you to actually go more into the dollar.

430
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 10: Look, I still think the dollar will continue to be

431
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 10: the dominant currency. I really don't see any other currency

432
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 10: out there that can really challenge it.

433
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 8: This is not a news story. People have been.

434
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 10: Talking about the dollar being challenged with the yen back

435
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 10: in the eighties, the Euro in the nineteen nineties, in

436
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 10: two thousand, I don't think there's any question that the

437
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 10: dollar will remain the dominant currency going forward. I think

438
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 10: the two factors out there right now is when you

439
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 10: focus on the Euro, the Euro and Land is probably

440
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 10: going to continue.

441
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 8: To raise interest rates.

442
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 10: The US is going to continue to have better, more

443
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 10: dynamic growth going forward, So we're looking for more of

444
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 10: a range bound, particularly versus the Euro between one oh

445
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 10: five and one ten, and for the most part, that's

446
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 10: where it continues to be.

447
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: John, he's way too optimistic for six h nine am.

448
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Larry's way too optimistic.

449
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 6: That's Raymond James.

450
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 8: Thank you say that's great.

451
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: We talk, we speak, we're amateurs. He's not. Mandy Singh

452
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: joins US now senior Technology and Vidia Analystic Bloomberg Intelligence

453
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: for a really important conversation. I got a bunch of questions, Mandy,

454
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: but let me just simply start with the addressable market

455
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: out there over the next decade. There's been some pretty

456
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: good work on this. Is it like the cloud where

457
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: it seems never ending for Nvidia excellence, I think so.

458
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 9: And what they have done really well is they have

459
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 9: gone beyond this narrative of you know, Nvidia being just

460
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 9: a chip company and they have actually proved it in

461
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 9: the way they have gone about their product launches. So

462
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 9: now they have been partnering with the hyperscaler, especially Microsoft,

463
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 9: and it's an application that sits on top of Microsoft cloud,

464
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 9: which is how you consume generative AI. And I would

465
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 9: say the addressable market for that is north of trillion

466
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 9: dollars simply because when you look at how these services

467
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 9: are deployed the underlying infrastructure, that will become a much

468
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 9: bigger portion of overall IT spending. So whether the hyperskillers

469
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 9: let Nvidia kind of continue with that, I am doubtful.

470
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 9: I don't think AWS is on board with that strategy

471
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 9: or Google is, but Microsoft definitely is, and that is

472
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 9: what is working for them in terms of that cloud

473
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 9: plight mandate.

474
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 6: What was amazing about yesterday in the guidance was the timeline.

475
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 6: It was the fact that this demand seemed to have

476
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 6: already appeared in their outlook and the near term outlook

477
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 6: for the current coredroom beyond mandate. Have you've got a

478
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: sense for where this has come from, how they're able

479
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 6: to monetize it right now?

480
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 9: Yeah? And I think what is very clear right now

481
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 9: is Intel has given up its leadership when it comes

482
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 9: to being the primary chip at the data center level.

483
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 9: So CPUs used to be, you know, the main chip

484
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 9: that you would need to run a server. Guess what

485
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 9: going forward, You're going to need a lot more of

486
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 9: in Vidia GPUs, and Nvidia has bundled their networking GPUs

487
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 9: switches all in one package, which is the beauty of

488
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 9: how you can tube things on cloud. So clearly that

489
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 9: shift from CPUs to GPUs is very visible right now

490
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 9: in terms of the trend, and that is sustainable, that

491
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 9: is not going away anytime.

492
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 4: So but to build them what John was talking about

493
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 4: the company's forecast for sales during the forward looking period

494
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: was fifty three percent higher at and analyst estimates. Where

495
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 4: did the surprise come from?

496
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 9: Well, so that is a real surprise in terms of

497
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 9: what they saw on ninety days back versus last night.

498
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 9: And clearly I think the generative AI wave is catching up.

499
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 9: Everyone right now wants to invest in this. So the

500
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 9: other aspect of it is the supply side. Last year

501
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 9: we were in a supply cront situation where Nvidia was

502
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 9: one of the vendors that was going to DSMC. Now

503
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 9: that supply has normalized, they can make a lot more

504
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 9: of these and they can satisfy that insatiable demand on

505
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 9: the data center side. So I do think the supply easing,

506
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 9: supply chain easing is helping them, and it's visible in

507
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 9: the gross margin. The gross margin is close to seventy

508
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 9: percent for next quarter. That's like a software white margin.

509
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 9: And you're seeing that gross margin expansion on the back

510
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 9: of very high demand, which is a very good sign

511
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 9: when it comes to fundamental I.

512
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: Hate being negative, Nelly, but I do wonder where China

513
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 4: plays into this, especially as there are certain bands being

514
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: placed or at least restraints on what US or non

515
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: Chinese companies can sell to China with respect to highly

516
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: capable chip technology. So at what point does that become

517
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: a headwind or sort of an unknown the challenges some

518
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 4: of the absolute runaway valuations of Nvidia.

519
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you bring up a great point.

520
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 9: It happened to Micron this week and right now there

521
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 9: are export controls around in video chips, and to my mind,

522
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 9: they are actually still undershipping demand on the data center side,

523
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 9: so that demand is actually higher, which is somewhat reflected

524
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 9: in the guide now. But still I think if the

525
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 9: China market is huge for them, and if you know,

526
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 9: the export controls were to increase, that would certainly hurt them.

527
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 9: But I don't think NBDIA is the only company that

528
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 9: gets hurt in that scenario.

529
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: Mandy. There are twelve months at a fifty times earning,

530
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: It's really not all that big of a peopled company

531
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: seventy thousand, whatever the employment is. Maybe they're not a

532
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: takeout candidate, but why doesn't big money come in and

533
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: take out ten or fifteen percent of this is a

534
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: stub out five years or ten years. It just makes

535
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: to me it's a no brainer.

536
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

537
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 9: Well, I think part of it has to do with

538
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 9: just how the market is positioned right now. There are

539
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 9: certain pockets that are in high demand because of the

540
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 9: AI weight, and then there are certain segments on the

541
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 9: semi side which are in a mode where they are

542
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 9: inventory clearing and that sort of thing. So clearly you

543
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 9: will see a rebound across different chip segments at different times,

544
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 9: and right now it's anything to do with GENERATORBI that

545
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 9: is doing well, and there's a good.

546
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 8: Reason for that.

547
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 9: I think in terms of a transformative.

548
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 6: Aspect mandate, can we just finish on where Tom started?

549
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 6: Basically essentially, how do you value some of these companies

550
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 6: at the moment?

551
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 9: Look, I think for a stock like Nvidia, a lot

552
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 9: is pricing. It was priced for perfection last night too,

553
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 9: but then when you delivered this kind of beat. It's

554
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 9: hard to be negative simply because you know, as I said,

555
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 9: they're still undershipping demand on the data center side, and

556
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 9: the data center business will double in the next two years,

557
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 9: so it will grow into its valuation. But any slightness,

558
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 9: and we've seen that only with semi companies. They can

559
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 9: have a big beat like this, a monster beat, or

560
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 9: they can miss big as well. And I don't think

561
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 9: it's going to happen to Nvidia in the next couple

562
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 9: of quoteras. But that is always a risk. If the

563
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 9: hyper scalers were to develop their own chips, their customer

564
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 9: base is concentrated. I mean it's three customers that's buying

565
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 9: fifty percent of their chips, you know, the hyper scale

566
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 9: cloud customers. So if they decide to make our own

567
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 9: chips or even you know, anything along those lines, that

568
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 9: will hurt us.

569
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 6: Talk just amazing, absolutely amazing, man, Dave, Thank you Mandave Sinc.
