3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: This is a Bloomberg Business Flash from Bloomberg World Headquarters.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm Katherine Cowdery. Wall Street pulling back from all time highs,

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: the NAZTAC has started fluctuating between gains and losses. Black

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: luster data is offering little incentive for investors to push

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: equities higher. Our report today showed sales at US retailers

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: were little changed in July as Americans flocked to auto

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: dealers at the expense of other merchants. Another report showed

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: wholesale prices unexpectedly fell in July by the most and

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: almost a year, as sign that inflation is likely to

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: stay muted, which at the markets every fifteen minutes throughout

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: the trading day. Dow Industrial leverages down thirty five points

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: to tens of a percent at eighteen thousand, five hundred

15

Speaker 1: seventy eight S and P five foundered down two points

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a tenth of a percent to four. The NASTAC is

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: up nearly three points, trading at fifty two thirty. West

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: Texas Intermedia Crude oil up at Larton and Barrel two

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: and a half percent, spuckled down nine dollars an ounce,

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: and the tenure Treasury is up fourteen thirty seconds with

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: the yield of one point. That's a Bloomberg business flash.

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to taking stock with Pim Fox and Kathleen

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Hays on Bloomberg Radio. Matt Miller here filling in for

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: Kathleen on this warm and Muggy Friday in New York Ice.

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: Warm is the wrong word. Hot and muggy Friday in

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: New York City. Alongside Pim Fox, We're gonna talk to

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Hillary Kramer right now about another place that's very hot

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: and muggy right now, but filled with spectators whose pockets

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: are overflowing with cash looking to buy everything they see,

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: and that is Rio. It's winter. It's well, it looks

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: so hot. Okay, Well that's another story. They do the

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 1: summer Olympics in a place where it's winter. It is winter.

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I believe you, Pim. You're more well

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: traveled than I am. Hillary Kramer, I'm sure has been

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: there as well, in chief investment officer at a MG

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Capital Group. Hillary, Uh, When I think about Brazil, because

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: I work here at Bloomberg, I think about the IBO vest,

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: but it's killing it. The real unbelievable gains probably the

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: best gaining currency of any uh in on the Bloomberg

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: terminal against the US dollar. But those have obviously nothing

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: to do with the Olympics. Those gains. Um, what about

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Brazilian stocks are up because of the Olympics. Well, the

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Brazilian travel stocks of course. Now Gold g O l

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: one of my one of my favorites, that's been a

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: triple this year. That's the local regional airline. It's really

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the jet Blue of Brazil. Uh And you look at

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: a company like Gold, not even a four million dollar

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: market cap, and there's a lot more to go. Companies

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: like Goal. Those small cap and MidCap Brazilian stocks were

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: hurt so bad. And there is that an effect that

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: takes place when you have Olympics. You know, just look

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: at Greece in two thousand four. I mean, don't look

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: what happened after two thousand four, But you know, Olympics

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: can shine a light and um and and help illuminate

55
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: some of the better buys and undervalued situations. Gain on

56
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: the IBO vest year to date, that's not entirely an

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Olympic deal, right, no, no, I mean you had a

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of factors that came together. You know, there were

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: there was the worst corruption scandal probably um. You know

60
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: of the decade that took place in Brazil that brought

61
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the market down. The commodities, you know, completely collapsed. You know,

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: we're looking at oil potentially a few months ago going

63
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: into the teens. Now we're now we're looking at fifty

64
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: dollars a barrel, hopefully in the next few weeks and higher.

65
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: And so that's helped obviously Petro Brass which has just

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: been struggling by Petro brocess now and it's fifty two

67
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: week high pbr um. You know, companies like valet v

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: A l E. Which I always used to like, has

69
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: a ways to go, but you gotta stick with those

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: companies like like like g O L by the way

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: of him. If you invested in Brazil at the beginning

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: of the year, because you're investing in dollars, I assume, uh,

73
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: you'd be up sixty seven yes, because of the value

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: of the rials has increased, right that real is up

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: thirty percent. You know, has some of the exporters worried,

76
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: of course, but you know, and we have to wait

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: and see what happens with companies like Amber Air r J.

78
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: You know, always had been a popular one, but there's

79
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: a glut of it's a glut of aircraft. They're out

80
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: in the market. But even that one could come back around. Hillary,

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Please tell us about Brock b R a Q. Now,

82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: this is an exchange traded fund, and the reason I

83
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: want you to just explain a little bit more is

84
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: usually when you get an e t F, it's tied

85
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: to an index. And because in Brazil Petro brass is

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: such a dominant market CAPH, you don't necessarily get an

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: even slice of the actual consumer market. Tell us about

88
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: b R a Q. Well, Brock is a nice e

89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: t F to invest in a way to get a

90
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: taste of Brazil and have theposure to Brazil without having

91
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: the risk that takes place from investing in a particular

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: some of these particular large caps that represent the market.

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: I've never really been a full time advocate of just

94
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: e t s, but in the case of Brazil, in

95
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the case of going into um exposure and being a

96
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: macro investor and trying to ride a wave, like in

97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: the case of Brazil, you want to be in and

98
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: out of those e t F s. It's a great

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: way to do it. What is it you don't like

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: about E t F s. Well, I'm gonna get you

101
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: in a room with David Kotok. Just locked the door. Um,

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: because I'm an equity analyst, and I like to find

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: value and opportunity in particular companies. And you know, and

104
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: it's really about the inefficiencies that take place with particular companies.

105
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: And I like the valuation of of one company versus another,

106
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: like for example, um like flower foods, nothing to do

107
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: with Brazil f l O Flowers Food, Thomas Pill, Georgia.

108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: We were talking about it earlier because I was following

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: it yesterday. Stock tanked yesterday. They make tasty cake products

110
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: as well as wonder Bread bake goods line. They're in

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: the natural bread market. When you look at a company

112
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: like that, you know they lower they lower guidance from

113
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: a buck five to to a dollar even though they're

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna do a dollar twenty in cash flow. We're looking

115
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: at this company really carefully and you say, Okay, here's opportunity.

116
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: Whereas if I were just to do an e t

117
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: F in consumer and consumer foods, you know, you run

118
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: the risk of not being able to pick up those

119
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: opportunities I mean equity investing, stock and being stock investing.

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: On one hand, yes, it's about long term um wealth

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: and growth, but at the same time, there's being really

122
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: fun about identifying opportunities out there and getting in them early.

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: I just ask you like a strategic question, because I

124
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: understand we always talk about diversified portfolios and so on,

125
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: but is it possible that the way to really look

126
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: at things is you're looking and waiting for that one

127
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: opportunity in your lifetime and just managing your losses because

128
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: if you get it, not necessarily right, but if something

129
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: pans out, that's when you can make great wealth as

130
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: long as you're very disciplined about managing losses. This is

131
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: true him, It's true, but any time that you invest

132
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: for that big hit, for that home run, it just

133
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: never works out that way. Why. I don't mean investing

134
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: for the home run, but in other words, that is

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: what would happen if you're disciplined right, discipline with discipline,

136
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: investing um, going the distance and waiting for that big

137
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: hit to happen, whether it be buying Apple and being

138
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: up ten percent. And I think that's what you're referring to.

139
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: But of course it's also timing it right. You know, well,

140
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: we all wish we could have bought everything in two

141
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: thousand nine. Yes, they didn't bring a bell there market market. Yes.

142
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: F l O is a Flowers food and four point three.

143
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: You think that the dividends covered? Oh yeah, I think

144
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. I think it's fine because they

145
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: have the cash flow. Um, they can cover it next year.

146
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: You know, the guidance is still strong enough. Tell me

147
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: about Omnicom. That's another one. You want to talk about.

148
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Undervalued growth, undervalued growth O m C. You still have

149
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: a dividen yield here of two point six percent. Public

150
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: relations advertising agency. Um. You know, it's really pretty cheap

151
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: versus the others in the in its category. Itsells at

152
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: six times next year's earnings. UM, so it's selling less

153
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: than the market multiple. I see opportunity there. I think

154
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: it's a really nice solid by. And my favorite stock

155
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: right now is Arista Networks a n e T, a

156
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: five billion dollar company that competes with Cisco. I think

157
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: Cisco could buy them one day if Cisco stops suing them,

158
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: because it's these programmable switches and companies like UM, like

159
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: Amazon Web Services, they're using Arista's UM programming goal switches.

160
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: So I see some opportunity here. We're talking thirty seven

161
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: percent sales growth, Like who would ever miss five billion

162
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: dollars just stepping in and acquiring a company like this.

163
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: So you're talking directly to Chuck Robbins, let me tell

164
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: you in any market, tell you gotta explain that to

165
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: come because oh, he's the CEO of Cisco, and it

166
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: looks like you're you're advising him now via Bloomberg Gradio.

167
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's listening. But well, once he gets you know,

168
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: he still needs some more time there to to get

169
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: on his feet, you know, and maybe another year or two,

170
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes left. I want to take

171
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: it back to the Olympics. UM, Nike and under Armour

172
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: are the kind of companies that I think about possibly

173
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: benefiting from the Olympics or Speedo or Arena. UM. What

174
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: are the some of the companies that could benefit because

175
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: none of those companies have done well this year. I

176
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: know under Armour I think could benefit. We could see

177
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: some we could see a lift there. I think Nike,

178
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Nigi has run its course. You know, but but we

179
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: can still look historically and a think it was beautiful

180
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: moment in the Olympics in Atlanta what really created Nike

181
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: and brought into the forefront. So so great brands can

182
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: be created, um from the right sponsorship. You know, Michael Phelps,

183
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: for example, we have Nike, we have under Armour. You know,

184
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: he's limited in how much he can show of under Armour,

185
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: but there is value that can be found. And many

186
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: of these companies have found a way to associate themselves. Um,

187
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Kellogg's has gone back to him. You know, they dropped

188
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: him when he was caught smoking pot. Oh yeah, I

189
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: mean He's isn't an amazing turnaround story. I gotta say

190
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: everybody feels good about about Michael Phelps, which shows you

191
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: really can come back, no matter how many times to

192
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: get arrested for drunk driving. If you win gold medals

193
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: for America, we love you. Right. If you can come back,

194
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: if you can beat the underdog and show it you

195
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: can win, we love you. Michael Phelps. He's got a

196
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: total twenty six medals. Amazing, amazing competitor, you have seven,

197
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: don't you met? All right? Thank you very much. Hillary Cramer,
