7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: string Fellow, chief investment strategist for Argent Trust Company. Tom,

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: what do you make of this market this week? It

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: feels it looks like a by the dip? Should we

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: read anything more into that? I think she was headed

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: right there. And you know, just going back and looking

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: at what's happening in last oh year or so, since

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: about this time last year, buying the dip, it made

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. You know, the market dropped down

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: about the fifty day moving average and you'd see support

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: coming right in and then all of a sudden, you know,

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: we started hearing about a contagion, uh that you know,

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: for many it seemed to come out of nowhere. You know,

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: that really started look hitting the markets on Monday and

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: the question of buying the dip of you know, people

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: started you know, scratching their head. But you know today

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: it looks like it might be another reversal and and uh,

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'll say by the dip until it's proven otherwise.

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: And right now, I'd say markets are kind of excited

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: about you know, it's kind of a stealth day for investors,

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: but it's a pretty big day for the markets. We

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: have had a number of um, big market commentators come

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: out and say this dip could be could get bigger.

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Scott Minored, for example, was telling me yesterday from Guggenheim

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: he thinks we could go down ten maybe. And that

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: isn't dramatic compared to what we've heard from a lot

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: of the big banks on Wall Street. So what what

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: what do you think a correction will look like here? Yeah,

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: corrections are inevitable, you know, we we talked about them.

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: They're healthy for the market. It it gives investors time

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: to kind of reassess where you knowings make sense and

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: we're realocate But the fact is when it happens, you know,

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: we all cringe and you know, scrambled from monitors and

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: talk two clients. But yeah, we always talk about you know,

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: what's normal and what's healthy is in that ten correction

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: where you get into problems when you start realizing that

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: ten percent on a market level of day is a

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: little more significant than you know a few years back.

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Uh But I still think that you know, there's going

45
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: to be something that it's going to be an outlier event.

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: It's not going to be something expected that's going to

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: cause market nervousness, and it's not going to be a

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: one or two day events. You know, there will be

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: selloffs and that will give us an opportunity to to

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: really look at the markets. But you know, when you

51
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: still look at what the underlying and support for the

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: market is, we still have you know, strong earnings growth.

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: It's slowing down, but you know it's certainly above trend

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: from what we have seen over the last several years.

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: We've still got uh fed that's giving us liquidity, which

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, we'll find out what it really means, you

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: know in a few more hours, you know from you

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: know what German Powell says, and you know, you know,

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: let's just not forget that. You know, when we're sitting

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: at rates near zero, investors are looking for places to

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: park cash with some upside opportunities. So you know, corrections inevitable.

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to scramble and trying to understand

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: what it means this time. But you know, I don't

64
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: look for you know, that recessionary impact anytime since. All right, Tom, So,

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: to the extent that people have what Tom Keene will

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: call the courage to be in the market, are you

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: more inclined on the equity side to be in kind

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: of the cyclical maybe a reopening type scenario, or are

69
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: you comfortable with what has worked for better part of

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: a decade, the big top line growth text stories. You know,

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I think it's it's really is a combination both. And

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: the reason is that, you know, when you look at

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: what has been you know, sustainable over the last several months,

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, once we got past the pandemic clearance and

75
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: we solve you know, stay at home, work at home

76
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: stocks really moving. A number of those stocks still have

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: good growth prospects and they're changing the way we work

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: and we live and we play. Those are good quality stocks.

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, those cycnical stocks are starting to come back. Uh.

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: Just jumping on a plane over the weekend, looked around,

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: flights were full, airplanes are full, and lo and behold

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: everybody's wearing masks, so there's kind of a new normal.

83
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: Their cynicles are coming in. You just talked about the

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: energy markets on a rally. I think, you know, that's

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: really reading and the fact that economies are coming back.

86
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: But it's going to be looking a little bit different

87
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: now as we adjust to you know, whatever COVID variant

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: looks like. You know, we're starting to see still manufacturing,

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, coming up to all time high, so the

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: economies are building up to you know, what looks like

91
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: traction in the economy. I think that looks a little

92
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: bit different than saw a year ago, but it's going

93
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: to be kind of I think a bifurcated of both

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: good quality growth and followed by good quality value stocks

95
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: that have you know, like a growth factor in them.

96
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: That's going to really explain how this economy is going

97
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: to pull out and you know, start maintaining its traction

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: that we've seen for the last several months. Tom, thanks

99
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Tom string Fellow there he

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: is chief investment strategist at Argent Trust Company, talking to

101
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: us about his outlook ahead of the Federal Reserve finishing

102
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: their two day meeting today and we are going to

103
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: hear from Jerome Powell m a little bit later on.

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I guess it is. What's just about four hours from now, Well,

105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: it is FED Day, and that's a big day here

106
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: at Bloomberg Television or radio. So we're gonna be all

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: over that said on this side, it's big. It's big.

108
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: It's kind of like you know, playoff day for ESPN

109
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: or something. So it's a big day here. We certainly can.

110
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: It comes once a month though, I know, and that's

111
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: what we love about it. Once a month. All right,

112
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: let's bring in an expert that kind of help us

113
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: kind of preview what we might hear and see and read.

114
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Danielle di Martino, Booth CEO of Quill CEEO on Director

115
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: of Intelligence for Quill Intelligence, also former advisor at the

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: Dallas Federal Reserve, in a Bloomberg Opinion contributor. And the

117
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: highlight is she's actually in the Bloomberg Interactor Broker studio today.

118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: It's great. Yes, it's so cool. And I know on

119
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Television, Matt Jeff Curry from Goldman Sax He's also

120
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: in the Bloomberg Television studio. So people are coming out

121
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: and their count coming into our offices, coming into our studios,

122
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: which makes it so much better. Uh So, Danielle, great

123
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: to see you give us a sense of what we

124
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: should be looking for today. It feels like the tapering

125
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: discussion has been so well telegraphed. What should I be

126
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: looking for? It has been so well telegraphed. But on

127
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the other hand, and I'm starting I sound like an economist.

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, J. Powell's got a lot

129
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: of reasons to be reticent, and I don't think that

130
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: there's a great enough appreciated ation for that right now.

131
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: Uh you know, in the post COVID world, we've forgotten

132
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: what FED traditions are. And there are certain things that

133
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: the FED does not do, regardless of where we are

134
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: in economic cycles and before or after pandemics. They don't

135
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: step into the in the middle of any type of

136
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: political event or political morass, the debt ceiling, the budget resolution,

137
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: the drama that's being played out in the Beltway. The

138
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: FED does not make major policy shifts in the midst

139
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: That is the tradition. And the FED also, if you

140
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: look back through history, does not make big moves in

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: the month of December. So I understand the telegraphing, the

142
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: broadcasting the fact that the market is ready, the appearance

143
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: that we're not going to get a taper tantrum, because

144
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: if we were going to get a tape taper tantrum,

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: we would have gotten that when J. Powell first acknowledged

146
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: that the discussion had started, and that really didn't happen.

147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: But again, the flip side of it is, there are

148
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: certain traditions and we're starting to see foreclosures rise. Right

149
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: before I stepped into this into the studio, Cox Automotive

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: came out with a report and said that of potential

151
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: auto buyers are now going to pull back and wait

152
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: because of prices, not low supply. We're hearing the same

153
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: thing coming out on housing, that prices are becoming a deterrent,

154
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: not just low supply. So there's a different narrative that

155
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: started to emerge, and J Pal will be paying attention

156
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: to that, especially as you hear one company after another

157
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: talk about the labor pool refilling and more applicants um

158
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: putting in, putting in for some of these job openings.

159
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: He'll be looking for wage inflation to fall. Yeah, we

160
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: we actually just had a headline Cross that existing home

161
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: sales fell um two percent. And just this morning I

162
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: was talking to a friend who decided not to buy

163
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: a Kia because the dealer wanted ten grand over ms

164
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: RP and wouldn't budge a Kia Akia. And what do

165
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: they say? What do they say? That the cure for

166
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: high prices is high prices? Yeah, well, I guess that's

167
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: the case here. Um. You know, you've got so many

168
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: other issues. Uh, You've got the China, the common prosperity crackdown. Um.

169
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: You've got the supply chain snarl ups, which I guess

170
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: are are are part of that high prices issue. Um,

171
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: and you've got, um, the labor shortage. I wonder if

172
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: especially the latter, what what's your take on the labor shortage?

173
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: Now that we see extended unemployment benefits coming off, are

174
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: we going to see the labor shortage ease again? Just

175
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: this morning I read a laundry list of companies that

176
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: have come out on calls and said that the shortage

177
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: is alleviating before their very eyes, now that all fifty

178
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: states UM have indeed stepped away from these programs. I

179
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: live in Texas, where the supplemental benefits went away in July,

180
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: and I can tell you just by driving around the

181
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: Warren buff fit fashion and kicking the tires. I don't

182
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: see as many help wanted signs as I want said.

183
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm not waiting as long in restaurants. I don't have

184
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: to wait as long to get an uber or a lift.

185
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: There are certain things that are just said. They had

186
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: a huge spike in new drivers, so they've really added

187
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: a ton and plus. But uber rates are up. Why not? Um?

188
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes that I've spent in Florida with my family, for example,

189
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: I've heard people say I'm not going back to my

190
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: job at Disney because I can make double that as

191
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: a lift or an uber driver. Yeah. Well again far.

192
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: But but to your question about Disney would be a

193
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: lot more fun. I feel like Disney would be so fun,

194
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: especially if you get to dressed up as the mouse.

195
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Okay when it's a hundred degrees in humit, Okay, let

196
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: me get back to me on that. Um. But But

197
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: the point is, this is what j. Powell has been

198
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: waiting for. This is why he keeps saying, let me

199
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: see September and October, let me see those non farm

200
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: payroll reports come out before we make any big decisions.

201
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: And again I will bring back to you the debt ceiling,

202
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: and there are major implications we've just had come to

203
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: light meeting minutes from an emergency Federal Open Market Committee

204
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: from October two thousand thirteen. There is actually a blueprint

205
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: for what the Fed can do to alleviate a potential

206
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: debt default if extraordinary measures that Treasury Secretary Yellen is

207
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: implementing or exhausted. You can, in theory but default on

208
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: the treasuries that the FED owns, and really not it's

209
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: called a strategic default, and and and and not technically default.

210
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Fitch and Moodies won't like it, though. What are the

211
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: chances I was talking with Matt Winkler, or editor in

212
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: chief emeritus about this this morning. What are the chances

213
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: that the United States might, you know, not because we

214
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: can't afford to, but for political reasons, miss an interest

215
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: payment on its debt. Well, that was exactly what I

216
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: was just describing. And again there is a blueprint that

217
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: has been drawn up between the Treasury and the FED

218
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: that ex blains how we would go about doing that.

219
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Because the first debt first default in the Fed's debt

220
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: and then defaulted everyone else, just the Feds. It's just

221
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: a quarter of the Treasury mark. They own a big

222
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: chunk of it, so you can theoretically buy a lot

223
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: of time. And you have to remember their accounting maneuvers.

224
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: The FEDA Reserve remits treasury interest back to the Treasury

225
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: once a year. That's how accounting it at the FED works.

226
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: So as far as they're concerned, they're just moving money

227
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: around on a ledger until the debt ceiling is resolved.

228
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: All right. So one of the things I'm wondering if

229
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: the FED is looking at the FED Chairman Pal's looking at,

230
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: is we're hearing from many sectors of the economy in

231
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: many companies, that's the supply chain. It's not getting better

232
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: and it may even be getting worse. We take a

233
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: look at the number of ships stopped off the coast

234
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and it's get it's growing,

235
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: and we're getting into that killer, you know, kind of

236
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: season of you know, shopping and Christmas and Holidays and

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot kind of stuff. Is that on their radar? Uh?

238
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: It really is. And just listening to a lot of

239
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: of manufacturers in the Texas area, the Houston port is

240
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: hopping other ports companies are trying to get around that

241
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: the three big West Coast port log jam because it's historic,

242
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: it's it's it's as bad as it's ever been. And

243
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: freight costs have become you know, comed about if they

244
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: used to be a small line item, but they're enormous.

245
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: So even though we're seeing iron ore prices come down,

246
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: and obviously we've talked about lumber and corn, little bits

247
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: and pieces here of input costs coming down, but freight

248
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: searcharges and you can I'm hearing anecdotes of freight surviving

249
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: and companies saying, if you want the merchandise, by the way,

250
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay up. It will be another

251
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. And some of these sitting there right Paul,

252
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: weren't you saying, yes, yes, somebody had a shipment come

253
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: in and it just sat in the port for two weeks. Yeah,

254
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: it just sat in the port. It just sounds like

255
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: something I guess we thought about this. Yeah, Okay, there's

256
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: a supply chain, but it will work itself out as

257
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: the world reopens. It seems to be a bigger issue,

258
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: and again we're hearing it from more and more and

259
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: more companies. Well, and I think on a broader level,

260
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: I think that companies are also kind of starting to

261
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: hide behind, for lack of a better term, the ability

262
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: to really ramp up pricing, behind the auspices of this

263
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: supply chain distruction. But again, pay attention to what's happening

264
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: underneath the surface. Pay attention to things like Cox Automotives

265
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: saying it ain't a supply issue. People, fifty percent of

266
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: is a big percent. Fifty percent of buyers. And you're

267
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: seeing this in the University of Michigan buying conditions for

268
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: cars and houses. They're saying, Bosta, this is too much.

269
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm stepping back because of the price shock. Yeah. Interesting, alright,

270
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: so much to look at there. Danielle di Martino, Booth

271
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: CEO and Director of Intelligence for quill And Intelligence and

272
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: former advisor of the Dallas Fota Reserve and a bloomerket

273
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: opinion and contributor, thank you so much for joining us. Well,

274
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: I guess the folks that were, you know, by the

275
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: dip type of people, they were right again, the markets

276
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: up over one percent here in the SMP and DOW.

277
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: So there you go. Let's check in with Alan Adleman,

278
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: Senior fund manager and senior Research annels for Frost Investment

279
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: advisors have about five point one billion dollars in assets

280
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: under management. Alan, it seems like to buy the dip.

281
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: Folks were right again, is that your take, Paul, thank you,

282
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: good morning. And I'm still not convinced. Frankly, Uh, the

283
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: market to us feels a bit fatigued, just kind of

284
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: given the rapid pace that we've seen over the last

285
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: year or so. So a lot of our smart money

286
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: investors and you know, we're engaged with a lot of investors,

287
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: both institutional as well as individuals in Texas are actually

288
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: looking to buy the dips. But the expectations are that

289
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: the market is a bit fatigued, and we could see

290
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: it Isptember going on October, and we could see a

291
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: little bit more of a pullback we have seen looking

292
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: back at the SMP five moves about there were a

293
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: hundred and ten one moves in and so far we've

294
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: only seen thirty five. So it's definitely a market that

295
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: has lost some energy in terms of um you know,

296
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: the size of of moves here. And we've heard a

297
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: lot more people Alan's calling for a pullback, calling for

298
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: a correction, not saying you know that they're bears, but

299
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: saying we expect a ten percent drop or even a drop.

300
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: What do you think about the possibility of the ladder?

301
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: I think, well, first off, I would say that we're

302
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: still very constructive on the on the US large camp

303
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: equity market. We're fully invested at this choke er. You know,

304
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: we've looked for further opportunities, but we're fully invested, which

305
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: should should show you where you know, where we're at

306
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: from a market perspective. But your constructive, and you put

307
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: your money where your mouth is now, and well, I mean,

308
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but we

309
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: put our clients money where our mouth is. And that's

310
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: even more of a conviction from a Frost perspective. So

311
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: do we expect some kind of correction, We would welcome it.

312
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: We think that right now we're kind of in a

313
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: purgatory period, Paul, relative to you know, we're not yet

314
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: an earning season. We've got all sorts of exogenous types

315
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: of activities going on. You know, evergrand Is seems to

316
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: not be quite as the topic to Jore, but nonetheless,

317
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, you've got you've got situations like that, You've

318
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: got the congressional circus going on in Washington. Relative to

319
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: the death ceiling. So there are are non corporate events

320
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: that really could trigger investors at this particular um juncture.

321
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: And we're looking forward to earning seasons, but you know,

322
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: we've got realistically, we've got a month ago before we

323
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: get back into that. So, Alan you're fully invested in

324
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: the market, are you invested for a reopening type of trade,

325
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: i e. Some more cyclical parts of the market, or

326
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: are you uh kind of in that camp where I'm

327
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: sticking with the tried and true top line growth stories, tech,

328
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: healthcare things like that. Well, the short answer, Paul is both,

329
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: and we take a blend approach, so to speak, in

330
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: terms of the ladder the names that you are referring

331
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: to on the growth side technology, um, you know some

332
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: of the healthcare names for sure, um. But we're also

333
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: invested in the cyclical names. And if you think about

334
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: it from a portfolio construction waiting perspective, UM, we're probably,

335
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: we're not. Probably we are more heavily weighted to the

336
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: growth segment than we are to the sick of sick

337
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: of learn um exposure perspective. So that's you know, that's

338
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: that's where we're at today. What do you think about

339
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: or how much does it matter to you that we

340
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: get more fiscal uh spending in terms of for example,

341
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: the infrastructure bill. It looks difficult right now, but it's

342
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: it's a huge number. How much does it matter to

343
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: you to you for your clients, I would say, well,

344
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: for our clients, it's a broader topic. For us specifically.

345
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: You know, we really pay attention Paul uh To. I mean,

346
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: you're an analyst, so I mean we take a very

347
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: much of a bottom up approach, and we talk to

348
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: our companies and we listen to them all all the time.

349
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: We do channel checks, we do all of the things

350
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: that are fundamental equity manager we do. We're managing portfolios,

351
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: diversified portfolios where we're we're investing in literally every economic

352
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: sector in the S and p um or our benchmark,

353
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: So we do take that approach. Having said that, I

354
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: would say that the infrastructure built over the long term

355
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: would have positive ramifications for for the economy at large.

356
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: These are things that are required, are necessary. Whether we

357
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: get into some of the softer things time will tell.

358
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: But but I think our client base and where we're

359
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: coming from is we have a high level of confidence

360
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: that ultimately will get at least the hard infrastructure build past,

361
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, sometime in the near future, and that will

362
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: bode well as we get into two and twenty three

363
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: and beyond. But I'm repeating myself, which I guess I'd

364
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: like to do. But having said that, the whole atmosphere

365
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: in Washington is still problematic in terms of not being

366
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: able to make a decision, not being able to come together. Alan,

367
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. All Adelman there from

368
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: Frost Investment Advisors. I want to get over to the

369
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: chief investment Officer of Global Equities at invest Go. George

370
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: Evan joins us. George Evans joins us now, and we're

371
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna hear about your market views, but I want you

372
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: to first, George, explain your Mantra investment themes to us.

373
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: So certainly, so good morning and what everyone, um, So

374
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: we we run I've been running an international strategy uh

375
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: at Investco. It was often time before since so we're

376
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: just over twenty five years and we've followed the same

377
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: four themes over the entire art of that time. So

378
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: there's MANTRA stands for the four themes, which is mass affluents,

379
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: new technology, restructuring and aging. So we want to be

380
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: focused on areas of the global economy that we think

381
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: are set to grow structurally over many, many years, and

382
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: to find the winning companies and invest in those stocks accordingly.

383
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: So they're connected. So mass affluence is basically about the

384
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: world getting getting rich, and particularly after the fall of

385
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall, the massive increment to growth and wealth,

386
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: both of wealth in the emerging markets. I mean we

387
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: see it. We all see it in the number of

388
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires just soaring everywhere in the Western world

389
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: and in well in China as well. What what's led

390
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: to that? Well, I think the biggest thing is the

391
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: way that the whole world more or less embraced a

392
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: greater orientation towards market economies after the collapse of the

393
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Berlin Wall. So if we look at pre Berlin War,

394
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: you're looking at really only about fifteen percent of the

395
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: global population that lived in countries that had market oriented economies.

396
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: After the collapse of communism, we saw more and more

397
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: of the world embraced market economies and that's been the

398
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: principal driver to wealth creation. So you know, China's gotten

399
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: grown staggeringly fast over the last thirty forty years. We've

400
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: seen huge increments to growth from many other emerging markets.

401
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: So it's really gone from a small proportion of the

402
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: global population engaged in sort of living in market economies too,

403
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, probably now well over well over half engaging it.

404
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: So that's so now a lot more people need to

405
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: buy German cars, stay at five star hotels, and drink

406
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Johnny Walker blue label. Absolutely everyone, um, you know, like

407
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, people to people go from you know, riding

408
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: bicy walking or riding bicycles to motorcycles to cars. They

409
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: get bank accounts, they get credit cards, they like to

410
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: go on fancy holidays, and as you might be pointed out,

411
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: people like to drink beer and wine and spirits. So George,

412
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: give us, you know, maybe a practical example or two

413
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: where this mantra has taken you into some sectors that

414
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: have been good for your fun over the last twenty

415
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: five years. Okay, so let's pick luxury goods. So we

416
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: luxury goods. This is one of the you know, in

417
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: talking about luxury goods, it's an area where you must

418
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: be invested internationally because all of the big brands are

419
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: mostly based in Europe. So we've things like Louis Viteloy

420
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: Hennessey UM. We there's airm Airs which we own UM

421
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: and there are several other big brands that are all

422
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: pretty much European based. The well over fifty of luxury

423
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: good sales now go to people that are from emerging markets,

424
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: and the Chinese have been a major driver of this

425
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: growth over the last over the last ten twenty years.

426
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: So as people get wealthier, they like to signal where

427
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: they are, you know, in terms of relative wealth, and

428
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: one of the ways that they principally do that is

429
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: by buying UM a lot of luxury goods, whether it's handbags, clothes, jewelry,

430
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: fancy watches, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So this has been a

431
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, a relentless structural growth over the last ten

432
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty years, and it's got to the point where earlier

433
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: this year there was a period I think of a

434
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks where uh Benna Arno, who is the

435
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: majority owner, what he's got the biggest steak in Louis

436
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: Vutan nuer of weeks, the richest man in the world.

437
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very very powerful sector. There's

438
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: very very good long term structural growth. We tend to

439
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: prefer true luxury rather than just sort of expensive fashion

440
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: products because the we believe that the that the demand

441
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: is a lot more sort of robust and less variable

442
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: for that. So that's an example in in in mass affluence.

443
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: We've also, you know, whilst the US has prepositions, but

444
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: across the beach front in much of technology, there are

445
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: a number of companies um in the international opportunities set

446
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: that have been extraordinarily well positioned. So a large holly

447
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: for us in the Dutch company a s mL. It

448
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: is effectively a monopoly at the leading edge of semiconductive

449
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: production equipment with the latest EUV equipment that will allows

450
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: the etching of extremely sort of find diameter h I

451
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: find diameter chips. So that's that's been a share that

452
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: has done extraordinary well over the last one three and

453
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: five years. And then a course, the largest foundry company

454
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: check boundary company in the world is based in Taiwan.

455
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: That's t S seven CE Taiwan seven Conductor. So I

456
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: think that one of the most important things in thinking

457
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: about international is that there are first of all a

458
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: lot of extraordinarily good world leading companies based abroad, but

459
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: it is extraordinarily important to be a stock that because

460
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: would be highly highly selective, because a lot of people

461
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: point at the point to the the the outperformance of

462
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: the S and T versus any international all the collective

463
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: of international industries over particularly the last twelve years UM.

464
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: And part of that is because a lot of the

465
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: international industries are not as well constructed as the SMP.

466
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: They are not populated with companies of such sort of

467
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: uniform or not uniform but such excellences as as populates

468
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: all of the S and P. So there are clearly

469
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: sectors you know with our theme approach that we have

470
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: totally avoided structurally over ten and twenty years. So we

471
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: are very low on financials, with very low on industrial materials,

472
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: were very low on energy, and these areas have all

473
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: been structurally well represented in the non US indices, but

474
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: are areas where there hasn't been a tremendous amount of

475
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: wealth creation. All right, George, thank you so much for
