1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: From the heart of where innovation, money and power colli

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley and beyond. This is Bloomberg Technology with

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Emily j F'm Emily changing San Francisco and this is

4
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Technology. Coming up in the next hour. Met Up

5
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: falls after reporting its first ever decline in quarterly sales

6
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: added to the list of social platforms. Warding and add

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: pullback will hurt the bottom line and the division that's building.

8
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: The metaverse Reality Labs lost two point eight billion dollars

9
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: in the quarter. We will discuss class The Senate passes

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: ability to reinvigorate the U S ship industry, but PC

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: sales are slowing. US consumers get out of this pandemic mindset.

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: How will this change how Silicon Valley does business abroad?

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Will discuss and more bad news for coin based Kathy Woods.

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Arc just sold seventy five million dollars in shares after

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the SEC announced an investigation into trading activity. So why

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: are shares up double digits? We will explain. Let's stick

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: with Metta now and bring in Deborah Ojo Williamson, principal

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: analysts at Insider Intelligence, as well as our own bloo

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Room News Executive editor Tom Giles. Let's let's let's break

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: down these meta results, Tom. You know, they don't look good.

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Engagement was, you know, came in slightly better than estimates

22
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: when you look at daily active users, but revenue dropped. Uh,

23
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, ad revenue UM coming in light and the

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: first quarterly sales decline. Ever. Yeah, well thanks for having me.

25
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: The thing that people are really focused on the outlook

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: for the third quarter, and it's not good. It's going

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: to come in well below analysts estimates UM. The miss

28
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: on the revenue side. Some of the active users they

29
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: gained on the daily but not on the monthly. So

30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: it's a very mixed picture there. The shares are down,

31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: they're not falling out of bed. People aren't looking this

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: and looking at this and running around like their hair

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: is on fire. Still, it's not a great look. You

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: have remember that that Mark Zuckerberg has made this big

35
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: pivot toward the metaverse, and he's talked about we're gonna

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: lose money on that, We're gonna spend ten billion dollars

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: on it, We're not going to make a profit for many,

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: many years. Right around the same time we get the

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine, we get this this sense of a

40
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: slowdown in the US economy and the global economy and

41
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: advertisers really pulling back. We saw it yesterday from Alphabet,

42
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it again today. And David Winner, the

43
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: CFO for just a few more weeks, came out and said,

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: we really see advertisers facing headwinds and there's a lot

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: of economic uncertainty and they're pulling back. Same messages we

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: got from Ruth Poor at CFO of Alphabet yesterday. All Right, Uh, Deborah,

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit more about this. Obviously, we look,

48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: we're we're looking at chairs. They're uh. Zuckerberg saying Metas

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: products are continuing to grow in a challenging macro environ men,

50
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: challenging macroeconomic environment. Those are the words he's using. The

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: company also saying they've reduced hiring an overall expense growth

52
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: plans this year. What are your headline takeaways, Debra? Yeah,

53
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: So I remember years past when Mark Zuckerberg would start

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: out his quarterly earnings recap with phrases like it was

55
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: another good quarter or it was another great quarter. Um,

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: we are not seeing that anymore, and not for the

57
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. When it comes to Meta. Uh, this year

58
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: over year quarterly drop in revenue. Well, I think it

59
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: was pretty much baked into expectations by this point um

60
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: among investors. Uh, it's really showing just how quickly Meta's

61
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: business has deteriorated in this uncertain economy that's affecting all

62
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: of the digital ad supported businesses. You mentioned Google, you

63
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: mentioned Staff and Twitter. Uh, you know, we're all seeing

64
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: them having difficulty in this economic environment. One thing that

65
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: stood out for me with regards to Meta was the

66
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: drop in ad prices. So we saw a fourteen percent

67
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: drop in add prices in Q two That came after

68
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: a QU one drop of of eight percent. So you

69
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: know that really I think factors into what we're seeing

70
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: going on with Meta's platforms. Now where the the ads,

71
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess to the advertisers, that's good news.

72
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: The ads are getting cheaper but for them, but it

73
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: doesn't add up to very much revenue. And as Tom

74
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: pointed out, you know, we're looking at Q three in

75
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Q four now and we are not expecting anywhere near

76
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the performance that our forecasts had led us to to

77
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: uh to predict, at least even as as recently as

78
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: just a couple of months ago. Now, Dave Oyner, the

79
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: current CFO, moving on to become Chief Strategy Officers, Susan

80
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Lee VP of Finance becoming CFO, the first female CFO

81
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: at Meta I believe, ever, and this is get to

82
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: be Cheryl Sandberg's last earnings call. Does Facebook have the

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: bench Tom too, you know, continue to grow this company? Well,

84
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: you've got You've still got other leaders there. You've got

85
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: Chris Cox, You've got bos you know, You've got a

86
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: lot of people who are who who are around Zuckerberg.

87
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: But remember he's the guy making decision at the end

88
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: of the day, and if people start to lose patience

89
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: with him, there's nothing that the investors can do. Given

90
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: his ownership, given his control of the stock in the company,

91
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: he really does need to bring smart people around him,

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: especially when you see when you see Cheryl leaving. This

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: is the woman who has built that advertising business into

94
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: this this monster. Not doing so great right now, but

95
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: she's got quite a legacy and big, big shoes to

96
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: fill and this company is making an enormous pivot. And

97
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: Reality Labs lost Deborah two point eight billion dollars in

98
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: the quarter. This is a bet on a metaverse in

99
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: a future that some people don't really believe is even possible.

100
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? Are these investments, these

101
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: losses worth it? Yeah, that is really the big question.

102
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: And getting back to the the idea of Mark Zuckerberg

103
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: being in charge, I mean this is his call. I

104
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: mean he has changed the name of the company, he

105
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: has decided to pivot the company towards the metaverse. Uh,

106
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: he is building this company towards that future ambition which

107
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: we don't see any hardly any revenue potential from four years.

108
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: And at the same time, the core business is suffering.

109
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: And so I will be the first to admit that

110
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I am a metaverse skeptic. I have been for quite

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: a long time, since the days of virtual reality of

112
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Second Life. I think there's a lot for meta to

113
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: prove here with regards to the metaverse, about the potential

114
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: for marketers, for advertisers, even for consumers to engage in

115
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the in it. And we just saw earlier today that

116
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: the FDC is now starting to investigate an acquisition that

117
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: Facebook made in the metaverse realm. So Facebook and metas

118
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: having it just so many challenges in front of it, uh,

119
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: on so many fronts that you know, this is really

120
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: the quarter where I've really become more concerned about the

121
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: company than I think I've ever been before in all

122
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the years that I've covered it. Interesting, as you mentioned,

123
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: the FTC is trying to block Meta from buying a

124
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: VR company called Within Unlimited, and Tom, it's interesting that

125
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: there are already antitrust issues in a metaverse that doesn't

126
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: exist yet, and that Mark Zuckerberg seems to be pursuing

127
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: the straight same strategy, which is by not build exactly.

128
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: And the FTC has to be really careful here. Remember,

129
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: they have come under a lot of fire in recent

130
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: years for not calling out Facebook when it bought when

131
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: it bought out its potential competitors. It bought Instagram for

132
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: a billion dollars and that's become this huge business for them.

133
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: It bought it when Instagram was tiny and nobody batted

134
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: an eye What'sapp. It paid a lot more money for again,

135
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: a potential competitor. And so the FTC has been criticized

136
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: for not calling out Facebook and not saying, hey, we

137
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: need to take a really close look at these acquisitions

138
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: because you're taking out somebody who down the road could

139
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: be your competitors. You've got to bet they're looking really

140
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: closely at this deal, even though it's small. Well, either way,

141
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: big changes in store for Meta. This big executive leadership

142
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: change is going to be happening in November um and

143
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: we will of course be watching Bloomberg's Tom Giles thank

144
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: you as well as Debra Ajo Williamson insider intelligence. Always

145
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: great to have you as well. Meantime, Apple just poached

146
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: a twenty year veteran of Lamborghini to work on its

147
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: electric car. Luigi terra Barelli will join the project, which

148
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: has been under wrapped for years. The Apple car is

149
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: being designed by hundreds of former engineers from Tesla, Ford,

150
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Rivian and other automakers. Apple plans to launch a car

151
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: coming up. The Senate passes a bill to make the

152
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: US less reliant on chips from abroad. How this could

153
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: dramatically reshape Silicon Valley's relationship with China. That's next, Mrs Bloomberg.

154
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Qualcom earnings are the latest signal that there is a

155
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: change in consumer habits. The biggest maker of chips for

156
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: smartphones reporting and earnings miss reiterating a lackluster forecast for

157
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Meantime, this Senate has approved

158
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: a fifty two billion dollar bill to boost chip manufacturing

159
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: in the United States, which relies heavily on parts from overseas.

160
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: But the semi conductor industry is in for a rough

161
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: patch these next few years. The research firm Gartner slashed

162
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: its two global semiconductor sales growth forecast from to seven percent.

163
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 1: That is a huge drop from the tent jump in

164
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: chip sales we saw. Meantime, the Pentagon is making contingency

165
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: plans if how speaker Nancy Pelosi makes that trip to Taiwan,

166
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: though they say they don't think China would attack her lane.

167
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: They say the speaker is entering a hotspot. China, of course,

168
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: considers Taiwan part of its own territory and long source

169
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: of controversy now for decades. Bloomberg's Peter Elstrom are managing

170
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: editor out in Tokyo. Joins us now to discuss who

171
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: just happened to be here in town. There's a lot

172
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: going on here. What do you make of this Pelosi

173
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: visit to Taiwan in the middle of all of these

174
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: others very controversial at this point. I mean, clearly she

175
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: has ended up in a very tight spot where their

176
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: tensions on both sides. If she decides to proceed with

177
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: the visit that's going to cause problems with China. But

178
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: at this point it's very hard for her to also

179
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: back down and pull out of a visit that she

180
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: has been thinking about because it looks like they're stepping

181
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: back or retreating from this issue with China. Clearly, she

182
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: is going to put pressure on Biden during their phone

183
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: call to try to get him to apply pressure to

184
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi uh sidestepping the fact that actually doesn't have

185
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: control over her action. She gets to make this decision herself. Anytime,

186
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: you have this Chips Act, which seems to be heading

187
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: to Biden's desk unlike other pieces of legislation, and this

188
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: is going to potentially massively reshape the relationship between China

189
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: and the rest of the tech world. Right that's the

190
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: hope of the US. I guess the question is are

191
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: we there yet? It's taken three years to get to

192
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: this point where the Senate has now passed the legislation,

193
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: but the House still has to sign off on this

194
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: legislation too, and then they have to reconcile the two bills.

195
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: It is fifty two billion dollars. As you say, that's

196
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: about thirty nine billion dollars in financial assistance, along with

197
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: another thirteen billion dollars for training and research and that

198
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Just to put that in context. Fifty

199
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: two billion dollars, of course, sounds like a lot of money,

200
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: but tis m seats. How want Semi Conductor is going

201
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: to spend forty four billion dollars on capex just this year,

202
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: and the Chips Act is fifty fifty two billion dollars

203
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: over five years. So it's modest in the grand scheme

204
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: of things. It also signals that the US is uncomfortable

205
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: doing this kind of industrial policy. It historically has not

206
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: done it. But this crisis that we've seen in the

207
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: chips industry with shortages, chronic shortages that have knocked out

208
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: auto production in particular, has forced them to rethink how

209
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: they're going to do this, and instead of focusing on

210
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: the efficiency of the of the chip industry, they need

211
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: to focus on resiliency. To meantime, you've got another potentially

212
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: big shift happening in the chip industry itself, Qualcom coming

213
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: out missing estimates. We're hearing from the CEO of Qualcom

214
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: right now, Christiano Aman, on their earnings call, saying the

215
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: phone market is smaller than forecast this year. Um. You know,

216
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: obviously we've talked so much about the lack of chip supply.

217
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: Are we now going to see a glut of chip supply?

218
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: These cycles do happen in the chip industry all the time,

219
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: right That is the big question in the chip industry

220
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: right now, that we do go through these cycles, and

221
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: we've had shortages for so many years. Wait times are

222
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: still very very long. The signals seemed to be that

223
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: we need more production of chip, but Qualcom is an

224
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: early sign that they are seeing a slowdown. Part of that,

225
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: there's a caveat to that, and that's that they really

226
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: focus on the smartphone market right now. And you have

227
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: seen smartphone demands softening as consumers are hit with inflation

228
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: and some rising prices in other areas too. So that

229
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: may be a Qualcom specific issue, and you may still

230
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: have some of these chip shortages and the rest of

231
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: the supply chain. So what are you watching? Obviously, the

232
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: supply chain issues continue to evolve, and we've got a

233
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: big one. We've got Apple coming up tomorrow where we'll

234
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: get more insight into the supply chain. Well. Um, the

235
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: industry is very closely watching weight times around the chip

236
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: industry and exactly where those white weak times are. So

237
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: we've seen a little bit of a loosening in terms

238
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: of the ability to ship these chips. That's helped some

239
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: of the automakers. They're beginning to see some signs of improvement.

240
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: Tesla has talked about some improvements in the supply chain also,

241
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: but it's not resolved at this point. And to be clear,

242
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: this Chips Act is not going to address any of

243
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: this because these chip plants will take years to build,

244
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: at least two or three years before you can get

245
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: any of this production online. So that's a long term solution.

246
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: It's not going to address the short term problem, all right.

247
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Peter Elstrom in time from Chokya, Thank you Now to

248
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Going viral. Meta platforms is facing some backlash after some

249
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: of the most influential figures on their platforms, The Kardashians

250
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: are speaking out. Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian specifically speaking

251
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: out against recent changes to Facebook and Instagram that make

252
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: both platforms look and feel more like TikTok. The pair

253
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: have a combined six hundred eighties six million followers on

254
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Instagram alone. Instagram CEO Adam Missary even posting a video

255
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: explaining the moves, which some belief puts Meta's interests before

256
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: their users. Bloomberg Sarah Fryer had a back and forth

257
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: with Massari on Twitter. She joins us now, and of course,

258
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: she wrote a book about Instagram. Am, what do you?

259
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: First of all, let's let's let's talk about what Kim

260
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: and Kylie have said. Don't make Instagram look like TikTok, right,

261
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: don't make it a little like TikTok. Make it so

262
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: I can see post from my friends again. Please, And

263
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: then Kim Kardashian added pretty please, So so listen. I

264
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: think the Kardashians also have another interest here, which is

265
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: that they have built their fame, They've built their businesses

266
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: via Instagram, via building that relationship with followers that makes

267
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: people want to buy their project products, by into their

268
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: projects and and really focus on everything that's happening in

269
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: their lives. It's part of reality TV, and they really

270
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: lean into that. And the changes that are happening on

271
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: Instagram right now and Facebook as well, are d prioritizing

272
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: those follower friend relationships in favor of injecting your feed

273
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: with content from people you may not follow like TikTok,

274
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: trying to have this discovery of new things to keep

275
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: you entertained, to retain young users, and to fend off

276
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: this competition from the fastest growing up out there. Now,

277
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: you had to back and forth with our Adamissary on Twitter,

278
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: and you talked about how look Kim and Kylie are

279
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: saying they want this. Instagram is saying they're making changes

280
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: based on what users seem to want, not just what

281
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: they say. They want to talk to us about your

282
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: back and forth. So I pointed out that adamissaries explanation

283
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: this video that you talked about was getting a lot

284
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: of backlash, and and he said, you know, I get

285
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: a lot of backlash all the time. People. People are

286
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: pretty pretty vocal when it comes to hating on what

287
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: I have to say and listen, I said, like executives

288
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: and social platforms, I have to figure out if they

289
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: want to listen to the loudest voices what their users

290
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: are saying, or if they want to listen to the

291
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: data in the Facebook has always been airing on the

292
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: side of listening to the data. Now I got a

293
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: lot of pushback for my comment because people were saying, well,

294
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: how is this data making sense if it's a Facebook

295
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: and Instagram are showing to us. Of course we're using

296
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: reels more because that's all we get to see. Show

297
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: us content from our friends, and we'll look at that too.

298
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: So so the design of a platform really has a

299
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: lot of impact on what users choose to do, because

300
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: these platforms are getting more and more passive, less and

301
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: less about what we choose. And you know, I wonder

302
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: if it makes sense, doesn't make sense to keep them

303
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: more differentiated. Is that a competitive advantage or does Instagram

304
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: just followed tik talk and say, well they're onto something.

305
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: You know. Another thing that Adam Sarry told me, which

306
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: confirmed one of my big suspicions, is that a lot

307
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: of the friends and family conversation is moving into the

308
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: other parts of their app Instagram stories, Instagram direct messaging,

309
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, that's that's really where we're seeing it.

310
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: And so from my perspective, I feel like the reason

311
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: that they need to stuff the main Instagram feed with

312
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: with reels their TikTok copycat is because people aren't posting anymore.

313
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: When's the last time you posted on your main Instagram feed?

314
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: It feels really formal like a big lift now and

315
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: people are posting more and more in stories because it

316
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: just feels less like part of their permanent record, less

317
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: like it has to be a huge life event. And

318
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: the same thing we saw happen on Facebook maybe five

319
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: years before UM, where people are now posting on Facebook

320
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: mostly if they have something really big to say, like

321
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: a new job or a wedding or a baby, as

322
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: opposed to just the mundane life updates that used to

323
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: seem worthy of such a platform. As we grow our

324
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: basis of of followers and following, it just seems less worthy.

325
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: That audience seems less worthy of our mundane life updates.

326
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Who's winning, well, TikTok's definitely winning right now. I think

327
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: that's that's very clear. In Facebook's earning today, Meta's earnings today,

328
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: we see a slowdown in advertiser spending. But you have

329
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: to think, you know, that's not just about the economic

330
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: factors that they're citing. That's about this big change, the

331
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: sea change happening at the apps that is causing people

332
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: to use them, to rely or maybe abandoned them UM

333
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: And they have to do everything they can to make

334
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: this that work in order to fund the Metaverse Vision.

335
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: Down the line are resident Instagram expert Serafi Er. Thank

336
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: you so much for your analysis. Welcome back to Boomore Technology.

337
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm Emily Changing in San Francisco. Welcome back. We're going

338
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: to talk about earnings now, a lot to unpack. I

339
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: want to dig into Spotify, which somehow avoided and add

340
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: slow down in the second quarter, escaping the fate of

341
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: other text docks like Snap. I want to bring in

342
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Ashley Carmen, who covers Spotify for us for more. So,

343
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: why did Spotify somehow pull out of this? You know,

344
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: they didn't actually give us a full reason as to

345
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: how they avoided this. They did say though, that you know,

346
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe it was just this quarter. It does sound like

347
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: they're looking over their shoulder a bit more. I spope

348
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: that there's CEO Paul Glogal earlier to day. He said,

349
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, Q three, they expect the slowdown, although still growth,

350
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: but they are looking over their shoulder. You know, could

351
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: it could crater? Could not? You know? It sounds like

352
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: they're kind of riding the way a little bit here.

353
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: But I guess I should also note that we're talking

354
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: about a lot less revenue here. I mean hundreds of

355
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: millions of dollars versus billions as far as the tech

356
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: stocks go. So you know, I think it's a bit

357
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: of a different scale as well, and a lot a

358
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: lot less to wrinkle. I'm curious how what's happening me

359
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: with Spotify. You know, perhaps on a smaller scale though,

360
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: is some sort of um, you know, signal about what

361
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: is happening on a larger scale as well. You know,

362
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: you see a platform that's adding users, but gross margin declining?

363
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: Is that a concern? So last quarter for Q one earnings,

364
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: gross margin was all anybody could talk about. When it

365
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: came to Spotify earnings, the stock crater, investors, it was

366
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: at the lowest levels it's ever been. Investors were concerned

367
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: about the margins because they, you know, Spotify has been

368
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: making all of these podcast investments, so the investors want

369
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: to say, hey, one of those gross margins going to

370
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: go up um. And then this quarter we really weren't

371
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: expecting them to improve drastically, but the gross margin actually dropped,

372
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: and Spotify said that's because they are ceasing production of

373
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: their car thing, which is basically a Bluetooth Spotify remote

374
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: for the car, and so that actually caused their gross

375
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: margin to go down. But that said, the stock is

376
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: up today. It doesn't seem like that spooked investors. Spotify

377
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 1: had an investor day in June where they said they

378
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: expect their margins to not drag so much from the

379
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: podcast investments going into three, so we'll see if that

380
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: long term vision holds true. Meantime, you of course still

381
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: have some artists who just won't put their music on Spotify.

382
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Now you're seeing some podcasts leaving Spotify. What's happening there? Yeah,

383
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: So earlier today I published a story about a show

384
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: called The Pitch, which was kind of this original Gimlet

385
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: Media show, which Spotify acquired that company in twenty nineteen,

386
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: and how the host of that show actually just bought

387
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: it back from Spotify and is going to launch it independently.

388
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: And it's just an interesting move given that we saw

389
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: reply All kind of another Gimlet original show before the acquisition.

390
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: It ended its production in June. Another show that was

391
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: made by Gimlet called The Get Up, which was kind

392
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: of Spotify's attempt at a morning radio show format, that

393
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: also ended. So I'm not entirely clear what's going on

394
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: there to be Frank I think, you know, it's just

395
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: interesting to see all three of these shows. Clearly some

396
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: things that put They've had some leadership shakeups and promotions,

397
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: so you know, something is clearly going on with their

398
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: content strategy. It's just unclear what. Now. I'm gonna keep

399
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: talking about earnings. I want to bring in Mitchell Green,

400
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: founding partner of lead Edge Capital, his take on Meta's

401
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: results and more so, Mitch, look, you know, not great

402
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: across the board. That we did see daily active users

403
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: coming in slightly higher than estimates, but add revenue light,

404
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: overall revenue light, a big loss in in Reality Labs

405
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: two point eight billion dollars. You know where they are

406
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: investing heavily. What's your takeaway? Really, I haven't you know,

407
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: we don't own Facebook, and I'm not deep deal super

408
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: detailed involved in it. I think the stock was up

409
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: a little bit after hours, so the street must think

410
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: it was positive on it, and and I would tell

411
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: you that expectations, I'm sure we're pretty darn low on it.

412
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: I still think I think I think Facebook has some issues,

413
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: maybe under the covers um you're you're seeing. I think,

414
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: like Kim Kardashian, one of the Kardashians was out recently

415
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: tweeting or something up talking about how like she wished

416
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Instagram we just stopped copying all the bite the bite dance,

417
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: slash TikTok uh you know, um, you know features, um,

418
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, any bit's on their Instagram feeds can't help.

419
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: But notice how many ads there are. I think TikTok

420
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: has given these people. These guys are running for their

421
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: money in um in this you know, in this younger demographic.

422
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: And I think I think like Snapchat still is trying

423
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: to use the macro as the biggest reason, Like I

424
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: think they have other reason and that their users are

425
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 1: you know, on other platforms. Right, So, just how serious

426
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: do you think Facebook, slash Instagram's TikTok problem is? It's

427
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: pretty darm serious and it will be you know, I

428
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: don't know when you know full the sculosure we're bite

429
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: daanst investors, But whis TikTok um? I don't It would

430
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: be really fascinating to know, you know what, the very

431
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: specific when the public starts to know how fast the

432
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: bite dance and TikTok are growing. Um, I think there's

433
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more written about how much pain

434
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: these these companies are experiencing from these two. By the way,

435
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: just go ask a bunch of year olds or thirty

436
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: year olds, you know how much time they spend on

437
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: TikTok versus Instagram versus you know, Facebook blue Like that'll

438
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: our snapchat, That'll answer your question right. Well, the question

439
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: is is the digital ad spend also shifting stramatically? It

440
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: certainly seems like there's an attention shift, but is the

441
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: money's going to follow? I think I think it's like

442
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: it's so I was speaking the system again, um, due

443
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: to our bite Dance research and TikTok research. Um, I

444
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of the TikTok um ad budgets are

445
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: still in the experimental phase. I think they're moving quickly

446
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: out of it and a much begger phases. But like again,

447
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: just relative to the size of Facebook, like you know,

448
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: TikTok's US business is not that big yet, but there's

449
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: obviously a huge amount of room to Expand you're also

450
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: an investor in Ali Baba and you know they're now

451
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: exploring this primary listing in Hong Kong. How are you

452
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: thinking about Chinese tech companies right now? There are so

453
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: many complicated dynamics. That's an understatement. UM. First, on the

454
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: Ali Baba question, UM, I think what they're I think

455
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: the biggest impact like the market as of when it

456
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: was kind of yesterday it was leaked to the day before.

457
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: It was kind of a muted response of a couple percent.

458
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: It wasn't down market, so it was a little more

459
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: big of but it wasn't like huge. I think the

460
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: biggest advantage to Ali Baba being the primary as I

461
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: understand that the primary listening to be in UM in

462
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Hong Kong not in the US, is that they'll have

463
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: access to the China Connect, to the Hong Kong Connect,

464
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: which is a you know could I think I saw

465
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: one research channel, let's say anywhere from six billion of

466
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: incremental demand coming out of domestic China, I would want

467
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: to buy the stock. It's cheap, so was every other

468
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Chinese you know internet company. UM. It will either prove

469
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: right now to be the best buy an opportunity or

470
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: probably dead money. UM. Your guests is I don't really

471
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: understand the zero COVID thing, UM, but it just makes

472
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: it appears to me these people are like like taking

473
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: their economy and they don't need to be But you

474
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: guess as good as mine is. Why and when that

475
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: ends and things like that. I like, you know, Wa

476
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: owned Somemali Baba, haven't bought more, haven't sold it? I

477
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I you think though, that multiples are will

478
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: be in the multiple that somebody will pay for a

479
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: Chinese equity is going to be impaired for a long

480
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: time because but let's say, all of a sudden, they

481
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: get like you know, they get like more government approval

482
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: of the government looks friendly. Well guess what it doesn't

483
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: mean in two years they change their mind. And I

484
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: think people are gonna remember that. Well, hopefully for you

485
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: not dead money. I understand Dial Capital got acquired a

486
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: minority stake and lead Edge Capital. How do you see

487
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: lead Edge differating, differentiating itself from the pack? You know,

488
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: where do you think you're going to find the next uber? Yeah,

489
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: that's a good question. So how we how we differentiate

490
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: ourselves is very unique for most funds, and that like

491
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: most funds are solely backed by the endowments, pension funds, universities,

492
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: insurance companies. Most of our capital by number, actually of

493
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: our capital by a number of investors is actually like

494
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: world class exacts and entrepreneurs, and we leverage those people

495
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: to like help our companies grow faster. UH. And so

496
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: whether you know, somebody might be looking for a female

497
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: audit chair, are looking for like customer intros or things

498
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: like that. And in the whole LP base has grown

499
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: via like word of mouth over the last decade UM

500
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: and so like, we think there's a ton of interesting

501
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: opportunities in software and that our LP base can help

502
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: UH and enable companies to grow faster and even fortunate

503
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: to back a bunch of great companies, whether it's companies

504
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: like Toast or Asana or Bizarre Voice and Marcato earlier

505
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: on our companies like Well Health, the whole host of companies.

506
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: Mitchell Green always great to have you here on the show,

507
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: founding partner of lead Edge Capital, Thanks for stopping by. Meantime,

508
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Twitter is leaning harder into cost cutting itself and remote work,

509
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: the company cutting back on physical office space in a

510
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: number of cities including San Francisco, New York, and Sydney.

511
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: This in a memo to employees, Twitter says the move

512
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: doesn't affect current headcount of employees UM And of course

513
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: there's that ongoing lawsuit with Elon musk time now for

514
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: crypto report, and the crypto winter has been brutal. But

515
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: let's take a look at DEFY and see how that

516
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: is faring this downturn. Our crypto contributor Sali Bostick here

517
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: with more sale. Yeah, absolutely, Emily, because the reason we're

518
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: talking about this is a lot of the big failures

519
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: you've seen, the big withdrawals you've seen, and the big

520
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: issues you've seen with regulation are with the centralized platform.

521
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: So let's take a look at DEFY. Then. Yes, it's

522
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: down on the year about sixty two. That is more

523
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: than you've seen in bitcoin. But at the same time,

524
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing a big hop back up this month about

525
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: about percent higher. And I've got to say even today alone,

526
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: you've seen bitcoin jump on the heels of the Federal

527
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: Reserve interest rate hike, and you've seen the Defy index

528
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: here the Bloomberg Galaxy Defy Index hop up even further.

529
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: So you are seeing that, yes, big drop off more

530
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: than six percent this year, be more than you're seeing

531
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: bitcoin more than fifty this year. The DeFi index that

532
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: we're looking at, we're going to be diving deeper into

533
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: because what does it, what is it made up of

534
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: It's made up of things like unite Swap, of a Maker,

535
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: Doubt Curve, and just a lot of companies and projects

536
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: that have really held up more than you've seen in

537
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: other areas in centralized finance. So the big question here,

538
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: Emily is what is the future of defy. Is it

539
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: the answer to the industry's problems and does it start

540
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: to hop back even more than what we've seen this month?

541
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: C five versus tv Ocationale. We're going to dig into

542
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: this a little bit more. I want to bring in

543
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Mary Catherine later, CEO of the Decentralized exchange unice swap,

544
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: which allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without the involvement of

545
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: a centralized third party like other platforms like coin based cracking. Uh.

546
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 1: Mary Catherine, I want to ask you first of all,

547
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: we saw today Kathy Would, for example, selling some coin

548
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: based shares. There is a lot going on here and

549
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: investors trying to interpret some nick signals. What's your take

550
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: on what's happening in in C five versus d FI

551
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: and where this is all headed? Well, thanks for having

552
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: me first. Let me Esa whige a little bit of

553
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: from a distinction between c FI and d FI. So UM.

554
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: While we know SAP certainly believe in crypto broadly, but

555
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: that's as an asks the class or the underlying technology.

556
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: Un swap and DeFi really is about the technology. It's

557
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: really about decentralized rails for financial activity UM. In contrast,

558
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: a centralized exchange, as you know, operates the same way

559
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: frankly that a traditional exchange does, but with digital assets.

560
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: So that's a critical difference. It means that they're taking

561
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: buy and sell orders, they're managing risk, they may be

562
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: managing a balance sheet UM, whereas in contrast, unit swap

563
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: with de centralized protocol is self executing code. It's kind

564
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: of like you think about it as like SMTP as

565
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: the core protocol at the core of email, and then

566
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: you have applications like Gmail and others on top of

567
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: them that help you UM actually use those protocols. So

568
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: in the what we've seen in the past few months

569
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: is frankly risk mant challenges at some of the centralized

570
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: players that have struggled UM, and and also some some

571
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: internal risk control challenges. Again, in contrast, these decentralized protocols

572
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: don't ever touch customer money, they don't have customer accounts

573
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: and so that means that um, the what you manage

574
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: risk is by having really effective software that's audited, that's

575
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: battle tested, and so in the past few months there's

576
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: been plenty of volatility and defied protocols have have proven

577
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: themselves generally resilient and have not been hacked, have been

578
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: have been secure, and have performed well. Let's talk about

579
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: this a little more in terms of the customer itself.

580
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk about how customers get paid

581
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: back more fairly when it comes to defy rather than cify.

582
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Is that true and to the extent that it is

583
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: true or not true? What is allowing that to happen

584
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: at M with more certainty? Totally? So it is a

585
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: completely different business model. So when you're training with the

586
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: centralized exchange, their entire business models to make the spread

587
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: in the same way this for a traditional market maker

588
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: or exchange UH to make the spread on a transaction

589
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: as well as a transaction fee, whereas in a decentralized

590
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: exchange there is a two sided marketplace. So anyone can

591
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: become a liquidity provider or a market maker, and that

592
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: liquidity provider then gets their proad of share of the

593
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: fees from the trades executed on the platform, so UNI

594
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: swap actually has no revenue associated with the decentralized you

595
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: know swap protocol. Instead, all of those fees are they're

596
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: essentially flat fees that are redistributed and predescribed the flat

597
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: fees at predescribed rates that are then redistributed to liquidity providers.

598
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: What that means is that you could trade on a

599
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: centralized exchange for three to five percent, and you could

600
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: trade on UNI swap for one basis point to a

601
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: hundred basis points. So it ends up being a really material,

602
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: material difference. I should add the fees that you do

603
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: have and defy are the network fees. So like gas

604
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: fees on the theory ofm that you and your audients

605
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: are likely familiar with right now, those are very low

606
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: because there's less network activity. But overall the business model

607
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: for defy is fundamentally different. It's using and source code

608
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: to provide the activities that have traditionally been performed by

609
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: central intermediaries. And so we think about the promise of

610
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: blockchains that we've been sort of awaiting to see in

611
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: UH in traditional markets for some time. I think what

612
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past few months, is how that

613
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: can become very very different, how the benefits of the

614
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: user is very different, and how in the case of

615
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: market volatility, they still can really perform and and prove resilient.

616
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: What are the lessons you've taken from this very tumultuous

617
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: time about how to make defy more resilient. I think

618
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: most important is to anticipate how to protect your users

619
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: and how to ensure security that if we want to

620
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: grow at this point all of Defy is still only

621
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: about four million users. In order for this technology to

622
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: get broader mass adoption, we have to explain its benefits better.

623
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: Uh so the cost benefits that I've just described, but

624
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: then we also have to ensort making it simpler and

625
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: easier to use. Part of why people use centralized exchanges

626
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: is that they have on ramps you can exchange your

627
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: dollars for crypto. Uh they buy sports and stadium sponsorships

628
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: and so you heard of them. And this is an

629
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: opportunity I think to gred drive greater awareness of Defy

630
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: so that people understand some of those benefits. And the

631
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: second thing I mentioned is that it's an opportunity to

632
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: introduce risk management measures and screening that can help people

633
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: understand the risk that they're taking even if we don't

634
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: yet have regulatory clarity in the great level of detail.

635
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: All right, Mary Katherine later Unit SWAP Chief operating Officer,

636
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: along with our Sinali Bossic. Thank you for helping us

637
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: better understand a very complex topic. Appreciate it. Coming up

638
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: more updates on metas earnings. Stay with us. This is

639
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: Glover tex stox rallied as Jerome Pal said, the FED

640
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: will slow the pace of rate increases at one point.

641
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk above hat and wrap attack results of the

642
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: day with our own Ludlow. You've been listening into the

643
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 1: medical Yeah, I think it's really interesting to take away

644
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: from the FED. Was Fed Jpal saying we don't see

645
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: a recession. We see no signs of recession, and yet

646
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: on the earnings called. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, had

647
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: this to say, they do see an economic quote downturn. Now,

648
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: economic downturn is another word for a recession. However you

649
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: want to slice it and dice it. The main thing

650
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: is that budgets from advertisers are getting smaller, and no

651
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: matter what Meta says, that's going to hurt them. The question,

652
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: of course is what's the broader takeaway here? And is

653
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: this is this a downward the start of a downward

654
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: trend for sales, the first quarterly decline ever. You and

655
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: I were talking about how this has been a weird week,

656
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, on the one hand, yet where is my

657
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: sound effects? Right? Okay? Alphabets saying lots of search for travel,

658
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: but I point out something's in bugging me for twenty

659
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: four hours. They also said that travel partners have been

660
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: seeing headwinds. In other words, lots of people are googling

661
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: where should go on holiday, but the advertisers are pulling back.

662
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: But alphabet stock went up. Metas results the outlook for

663
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: the current period not strong, but it's getting tighter. It's

664
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: they are giving the opposite view that actually the strength

665
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: in their market's not there. We're getting inconsistency. We're seeing

666
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: in the chip sector as well. Remember Texas Instruments earlier

667
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: in the week, very good, Malcolm, not so good today.

668
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: And we're also talking about mrs and beats by you know,

669
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: very small margins. Alphabets add revenue beats by a small margin.

670
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: Facebook's ad revenue missed, yes, by a small margin, and

671
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: that sends a big signal to investors, and you're always

672
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: wondering if they're over interpreting those signals. But you wonder

673
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: if Alphabet is in a better position than matter. Yeah,

674
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: there there seems to be strength in search. You remember

675
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: with with alphabet, YouTube was not as strong. It's all growth,

676
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: but nothing like the same period a year ago. If

677
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: there's a shining light for Meta, and we've got to

678
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: give them some positivity this time a year ago, what

679
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: was happening Apple was changing its iOS settings. That was

680
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: when we first started to see the pain for Meta

681
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: and advertisers around tracking right on the platform. And what

682
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: they're saying is that thankfully, going into the next period,

683
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: the comparable as a favorable as lasts last year as

684
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: a disaster. So glad you mentioned App because we're gonna

685
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: be all over Apple tomorrow as well as Amazon, Apple

686
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: and earning Apple and Amazon the next to report. Okay,
