Joining 5 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: us now is Christian Below of Autonomous Research, Senior analyst 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Christie Great to catch up. Just run me three your 7 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: first take please, Yeah, it's it's a morning guys that 8 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Um. Look, it's it's a 9 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: pretty strong set of results. UM. At this point we're 10 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: really accustomed to Goldman are generally doing quite well relative 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: to expectations and to do it again, UM, you know, 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: really strong numbers and equities, investment, banking and UM and 13 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: also on the efficiency front. So as I think all in, um, 14 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: all in, a really strong set of results is on in. 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: When it comes to Goldman Sachs, people talk about strategy. Yes, 16 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: they did beat on trading overall that was driven by equities. 17 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: They had a miss in debt trading. What are you 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: looking for in terms of how they're guiding their strategy 19 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: going forward as they try to shift from just investment 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: banking centric place to something that includes more lending. Yeah, 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: so I think you have to understand the strategy in 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: the broader context. They've been growing the banking business, if 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: you like the traditional banking business for quite a while. 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: It's almost a ticcade now UM, and you see really 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: strong growth in in in the net interest income and 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: in the loan in the loan book. But but I 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: think as we go forward that will play an increasingly 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: important part in the story UM in terms of building 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: out you know, far more predictable revenue sources. So lending 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: will be one, but the asset management business, the private 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: wealth business, alternative asset management business, and even in the 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: traditional UM you know, core investment banking M and A M, 33 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: A d C M type businesses. I think these are 34 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: the businesses they have to grow. They are focused on 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: growing and will ultimately drive the voluation of the company 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: going forward. Christian and your research, you know, you always 37 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: do a great job if you compare even put a 38 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: slash market at the g s MS combine. I'm fascinated 39 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: by what you think we see Frazier at City Group 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: trying to do a Gorman and increase wealth management. We've 41 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: got others as well. What is the Pixie does that 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: James Gorman has in wealth management that everybody else in 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: asset management, that everybody else wants to copy. Yeah, it's 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: it's a great point. Look, I think James Gorman's daughter 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: and absolutely unelievable job. But Morgan Stanley, UM, you know, 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: you know this one time because you've been here for 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: a long time and you know Morgan Stanley was more 48 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: or less basket case UM a decade ago, and they've 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: turned out really to be I think UM almost op 50 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: posted a child of how you do a a a 51 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: corporate restructure in UM. Look, I think they've really done 52 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: a good job in in focusing the wealth management business 53 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: around efficiency over the last decade and lending, which is 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: boosted pretax margins almost double with pretext margins UM since 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: they are quired UM Smith Bonney from City. I think 56 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: going forward the key for that business will be growth. 57 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: UM growth has been sowhat slower as you see the 58 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: migration of advisors away from the white Houses to the 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: likes of a Schwab and the regional broken like a 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: Raymond James. I think going forward for Morgan Stanley, a 61 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: key part of the growth has to be pivoting that 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: wealth business to growth UM and I think the eater 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: acquisition and ultimately eating vents um will be will be 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: very helpful in achieving that. If you're just joining us 65 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio, Bloomberg Television worldwide, Christian Blue with this 66 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: autonomous research after years with Bernstein and Credit SUAE, as 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: we look at the state of global Well Street, Christian, 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: we've seen enough come in. I love your broker centric view, 69 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: but we've seen enough coming in from these banks. How 70 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: do they prosper five years out? Everybody can't win at 71 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: the same thing, So what is the sense of prosperity 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: you see for major bank American Wall Street? Yeah, look, 73 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: look at look It's it's a good question. Ultimately, um. Look, 74 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: I think that the health of banks will will depend 75 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: on the health of economies over time. So so I 76 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: do think like economic prospects are a really big driver 77 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: of of of of bank outlook. But also the reality 78 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: is today's there's a lot of innovation out there, and 79 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, some of the smaller FinTechs have a lot 80 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: of capital and the market is willing to give them 81 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: even more capital to go innovate. So I think your 82 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: ability to invest in technology, you ability to be nimble 83 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: around how you um service customer focused on customer service, 84 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: that's going to be very very important going forward, you know. 85 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: But ultimately, you know, the banking business is really about 86 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, economic prospects and and and sort of like 87 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: responsible lending. So those two were probably play a bigger 88 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: path of parts. This whole digital thing, underscored by the 89 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: eight thousand shares of a firm you've got on your sabbatical, 90 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, John, to me, the great January issue of 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty one is the slash fintech digital banking 92 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: thing and how all these companies are dept to it. Yeah, 93 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm did so well. I considered not coming back, and 94 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: that's why I've had the last four weeks after and 95 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: enjoying myself on those mega gains in Finns. Christian build 96 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: on that for a seriously, the conversation going forward and 97 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: how much some of these names have got to spend. Yeah, look, look, look, 98 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: you know the dollars you spend is one thing. How 99 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: you spend it is another. Right, Clearly, if it was 100 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: just about dollars, the biggest and best, the biggest banks 101 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: would would would stream away so how you spend it, 102 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: what you spend it on. UM, you know, your technology stack. 103 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: All these things matter. But but look, make no mistake 104 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: about it. UM. You know, banks are have a lot 105 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: of complation on their hand with some of these very 106 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: nimble and forward thinking fin techs. And it's no surprise that, UM, 107 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: you hear on the banks focus a lot on the 108 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: tech spending need to put in place to to be 109 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: able to compete. Christian, we're getting bank earnings on a 110 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: changing of the guard kind of day. We're going to 111 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: get the last day of President Trump's presidency, and we 112 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: have Janet Yellen testifying to the Senate Banking Committee, to 113 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: Finance Committee to talk about her nomination as Treasury Secretary. 114 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: She has in the past expressed some desire to regulate banks. 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: This will be something that will follow under her purview. 116 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to hear from her today 117 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: in terms of how she will approach the banking sector 118 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: in her tenure if she is confirmed. Yeah, Look, it's 119 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: a good question. Look, I think the broader picture around UM, 120 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: the regulatory and political climate around banks, I think is 121 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: important context. I think coming into this crisis, for the 122 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: most part part, banks have been part of the solution, 123 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: quite frankly, and not the problem UM. So from the 124 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: latest capital UH sort of seeker results that banks were 125 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: able to get back to returning capital and it speaks 126 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: to really the strength of um of of of the 127 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: capital basis, and quite frankly, I think regularly should pack 128 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: themselves on the back they did. They did a very 129 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: good job post the financial crisis to show banks capital 130 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: improve their um their risk management. And I think it's 131 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: showed very well in the COVID crisis how resilientos banks are. 132 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's the broader context in terms of 133 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: how um UM not just scaled, but I think how 134 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: generally um the political climate will will deal with banks. 135 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: They've been more of the solution than than part of 136 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: the problem um And and you know, for the most part, 137 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: you do need a strong bank to to sustain recoveries. Christiane, 138 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: thank you. Always great to catch up, so come back. 139 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: So in Christian Baldy, there of autonomous research. I don't 140 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: think I want off check changes that I think it 141 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: needs something else I want to check. Won't do it 142 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: for branch shooting. He's Northwestern Mutual and of course they're 143 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: looking at actual assumptions they're looking at long term investment 144 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: is he provides investment guidance as their chief investment strategies. Brent, 145 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: what is your line right now on investing for five years? 146 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't care about the here and now. I care 147 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: about a more long term northwestern view. Is it a 148 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: single digit return or can we do better? Yeah? I 149 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: think it's a single digit return. But you mentioned something 150 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: really important, because I think people get caught up phenomenal returns. 151 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: It's only real returns that matter. And so within that 152 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: real return being in the single digits is assumed to 153 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: be in the lower inflation rate of inflation is higher. Certainly, 154 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: um there is a revisiting of those estmates that you have, 155 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: But in general I think people should just focus on 156 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: real returns, and if returns on the single digits, it 157 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: is likely that inflation will be low and so all 158 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: in all, consumers and citizens will still be fine. Brent, 159 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: you don't want to find amazing looking at markets right 160 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: now and just going through a long list of research 161 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: notes that reflect don valuations and say, you can only 162 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: really develop an argument on valuations by looking at where 163 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: valuations are relative to interest rates and returns. Therefore, are 164 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: going to be great for the next several years because 165 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: rates are going to stay so low. My difficulty with 166 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: that brand is that we've all seen the last ten 167 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: years in Europe in Japan where rates have been ultra 168 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: low for a very long time and markets just have 169 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: not returned big gains over the last several years. In Europe, 170 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: low rates don't always get it done. Brand, Why is 171 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: the United States any different? I just think because of 172 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: the minetary policy that we've had and promising to do 173 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: more in the fact that our long term growth rate 174 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: is above those places that you mentioned because of demographics, 175 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: because of productivity, so there is a little bit better 176 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: of an outwork here in the US based upon that. 177 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: I think one of the commentaries that you guys kind 178 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: of missed in the beginning is that productivity is actually 179 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: rising in the US and so perhaps our long term 180 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: growth rate is inching up if you think about productivity 181 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: finally coming back after being dormant for some time with 182 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: the technology boom that we've had in the US, and 183 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: so I would focus more on that. I think you're 184 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: a correct. I mean that the risk to me is 185 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: still and this probably combines into your earlier talk about 186 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: there being no fiscal hawks. I mean to me, right now, 187 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: the central banks around the globe, especially in the US, 188 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: are going to do more until one of three things happens. 189 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Either the dollar falls too much, inflation rises too high, 190 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: or perhaps people start demanding a real return on their 191 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: fixed income because the stock market is built on the 192 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: bond market. And so until those three things occur, and 193 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: actually two of the three are considered positive right now, 194 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,359 Speaker 1: until they occur, then I think we continually have the 195 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: market moving higher because right now the cost for policy 196 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: makers on the other side is zero. There's nothing for 197 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: them to contemplate. Um. They're actually trying to get a 198 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: couple of those things to happen. And so until that changes, 199 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: until this debt comes due, I think the market moved higher, 200 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: all right, So, Brent, Implicit in John's question, and it's 201 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: an important one, is this idea that perhaps there is 202 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: a fundamental inconsistency between rates remaining so low and growth 203 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: being sufficient and to justify equity valuations where they are. 204 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: At what point does one of them have to give? 205 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Do we have to either get higher rates in the 206 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: heels of more inflation, or stock valuations have to go 207 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: down because people have been pricing in just too much growth. 208 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: I think it's probably a combination of both. Right, So 209 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: if people lose hope in the future, then certainly I think, 210 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: or our growth rate dramatically slows, then I think the 211 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: first part that you mentioned is certainly true and so um. 212 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: The other side, which I still think is the bigger risk, 213 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: is that rates do rise and you actually have the 214 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: stock market having to reprice because now bonds are more 215 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: attractive because I do view valuation, and this is where 216 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: I think people miss the boat. Valuation to me as 217 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: a relative tool, not an absolute tool. Money has to 218 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: go somewhere. When our advisors sit down with the clients, 219 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: they decide stocks or bonds, not not not not neither 220 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: of each. This is so so important, folks, bred it's brand. 221 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: It's right where I wanted to go, which is the 222 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: idea of absolute and relative. The Nastaic one twelve months 223 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: trailing t m T s up, the Russell two thousand 224 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: out of nowhere is up twenty is well. I mean 225 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: to polarities, if you will, in terms of factor analysis. 226 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: In such do you sell those to get an absolute 227 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: return on the other stuff, or do you do it 228 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: on a relative basis and use new cash to go 229 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: someplace else. Well, for the past six to nine months, 230 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: have been coming on this show and others and talking 231 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: about moving into cyclic glass, that's moving into small caps, 232 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: things that are more leveraged to global growth or even 233 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: just broadening US growth. And so if I take you 234 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: back to a lot of these charts went completely off 235 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: the rails um so tech started out performing everything else. 236 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: Growth did better than value, small cap dramatically underformed large cap. 237 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: And if you think back then, we were first introduced 238 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: the trade war, which was designed to knock out levers 239 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: of growth around the globe, and it had a pullback 240 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: in the US also, it knocked our cyclical side out. 241 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: The US pushed higher because we do have that big 242 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: tech sector, especially in large cap stocks. And now you're 243 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: starting to see the economy broadened back out. Even before 244 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: COVID hopefully releases its grip, you're seeing manufacturing do well. 245 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: We think that continues into and that broader inclusive growth 246 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: means that the stock market will be broader and more inclusive, 247 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: and so it is branching out into things like value. 248 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: M is branching out into things like small caps, even 249 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: emerging markets, and we think that continues in Brent conash 250 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: you with philosophical question. Just to wrap things up, We've 251 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: had so many times on programs like this people lining 252 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: up to say they think we're in a bubble by definition? 253 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: Can we be in a bubble if a majority of 254 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: people that come on programs like this and think valuations 255 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: are close to bubble territory? Look, I think there are 256 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: there are parts of the market that are expensive, that 257 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: are built upon dreams that may not come to fruition. 258 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: I think there's a whole lot of parts of the 259 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: market that will do well in the coming environment. And 260 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: if I take you back, yes, there were parts of 261 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: the market done that were expensive, and people talked about 262 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: a lost decade, but the decade was really only lost 263 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: in those expensive parts of the market. Things that hadn't 264 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: done so well in the small caps, like value stocks, 265 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: actually did well up until two seven and when the 266 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: world fell apart of the seams, but they actually had 267 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: a good run during the two thousands, and I suspect 268 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: this time will be very similar. Things other than the 269 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: things that have done well because of the narrowness of 270 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: the market will actually perform into the future. And I 271 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: guess that's the good news. By diverse locations, that you 272 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: will have parts of your portfolio that will pull along 273 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the parts that may underperform. And I 274 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: think they've kind of switched from what they were to 275 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: what they will be. Branching of Northwestern brand Grites to 276 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: catch up said thank you. This is without question my 277 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: China conversation of the day. Leland Miller is different. Besides 278 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: being exceptionally competent on Asia and on China for years, 279 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: he's taken a different tact of looking at China data. 280 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: No one I know digs deeper on China than Mr Miller. 281 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: He joins us right now, Leland, your note is very strong. 282 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: You speak of deceptive data out of China. What is deceptive? Well, 283 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: I think if you focus only on headline gross numbers, 284 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna get a very cheery story coming out of 285 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: China right now, because their recovery is better than any 286 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: other major economy in the world. But the true question, 287 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: for Mark it should not be whether China can nail 288 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: a certain GDP number in a particular quarter or a year. 289 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: It should be how healthy is the growth? What is 290 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: the composition of the growth, is its sustainable going forward, 291 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: and when you look at the consumption economy, it's by 292 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: far the weakest part of this recovery. And you see 293 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: it in the retail data, you see it in the 294 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: services data, and it's it's the real question mark looking forward, 295 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: both in our data and in government data. You and 296 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: I have talked for years about this about deceptive data 297 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: in China. Do you look at the vector of which 298 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: way they're moving or is it so messed up now 299 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: even the vector the trend is deceptive. Well, you know, 300 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: it's it's funny because during this recovery from a COVID 301 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: virtual standstill last you know, last winter, we have seen 302 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: very much the same thing as official data. We just 303 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen as intensive recovery. So we saw the beginning 304 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: of the recovery. It was manufactured driven, then it was 305 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: property driven, based basically the industrial economy, the supply elements 306 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: of the economy driving driving China back to growth, but 307 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: lagging behind consumption. Households are much more tame in their behavior. 308 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Retail services again, those those parts of the economy have 309 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: not bounced back as much. So it's not that we're 310 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: seeing a different picture. Sometimes we do. Sometimes we're totally 311 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: diametric to to what to what the government's reporting right now, 312 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: we're seeing a similar picture. We're just not seeing the 313 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: intensity of the recovery that the Beijing is claiming. So, Leland, 314 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: can you put this in the context of the U 315 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: S GDP, Because a lot of people have said that 316 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: the faster than expected growth in China puts it on 317 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: track to exceed the US economy much sooner. Do you 318 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: think that that's been overstated based on what you're seeing 319 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: on the ground. Yeah, I know people care about this, 320 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: but but the question I think is is not what 321 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: we should be focusing on. If China wants to beat 322 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: the U S and GDP, it could simply by building 323 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: a endless bridge from from Beijing to Californi. In you 324 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: the bridge would fall in the water, but by along 325 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: the way you get enough aggregate growth, not productive growth, 326 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: but aggregate growth to to to ramp up GDP levels 327 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: into stratosphere. When you're looking at this, much more important 328 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: would be p GDP per capita. I think the US 329 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: GDP per capita six times or so greater than China. 330 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: Household income, household wealth is more important. These are the 331 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: things that make a country great and and it's it's 332 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: I think a complete distraction to be looking just at 333 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: the GDP number, which can be manufactured the short term 334 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: but lead to serious long term problems if you do that, 335 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: perhaps leland. At the same time, you see an increasing 336 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: amount of foreign investment into China, people saying that the 337 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: government will support the economy, that will support asset prices 338 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: going forward, and will continue to do so as they 339 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: try to give the appearance at least of faster than 340 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: expected growth. Are you making an argument against those investments 341 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: or perhaps against some of the enthusiasm that we're seeing 342 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: somewhat on bridles from across the world. Not really, because look, 343 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: if you're if you're investing in China right now, you're 344 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: doing it probably for two major reasons. The first diversification purposes. 345 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: You want to put more money into a growing economy. 346 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: The second thing is you look around the world and 347 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: a lot of things look really bad right now. China 348 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: has had the top COVID recovery, and so there's a 349 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: lot of reason to put to put more money into 350 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: China with all the opportunities there. I think where people 351 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: fall short in their analysis is they look at China 352 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: and they say Wow, there's this gross story. You've got 353 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: one point three billion consumers. They must be buying a 354 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: lot of things. There's gonna be this linear growth pattern. 355 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: Let's let's just go in blind and and and you 356 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: know you can see right now in the consumption data 357 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of problems with what's happening in China 358 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: right now. It just happens to look a lot better 359 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: than a lot of other places. Leland. The other issue 360 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: that we've seen this year has been the divergence in 361 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: exports and imports, and we've seen a real increase in 362 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: exports from China to the US and around the world. 363 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: Do you expect the stronger un to really hamper that? 364 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: I mean, how much do you expect that to become 365 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: a headwind for the nation? I think Beijing is in a 366 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: a bit of a pickle. They've allowed the REM and 367 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: B to appreciate this year because they don't have much 368 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: of a choice with the trade surplus hitting record highs recently. 369 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: But they don't want to see a skyrocketing you want. 370 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: What they want to do is they want to keep 371 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: it relatively stable with a slight appreciation towards strength against 372 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: the U. S dollar. So I think what they like 373 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: is just this beautiful stability. But because China is a 374 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: more attractive destination right now because of the COVID recovery 375 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: being so being so well done. Uh you know, you've 376 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: got these you've got these real pressures. So they're not 377 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: in a danger area right now. But I guarantee you 378 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: it's causing a lot of sleepless nights thinking where this 379 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: could go if the US keeps going in the other 380 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: direction and they're forced to keep making this currency go up, 381 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: or face the political problems with not doing that beautiful stability. 382 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: That's what we all want. Lan great and catch up 383 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: lean the mid of that of the China basebook. Grastly 384 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: is it the Packard Hospital of Stanford University, their school 385 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: of medicine, I should say, and the Stanford Children's Hospital 386 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: after tour of duty at the acclaimed Boston Children's Hospital 387 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: and out of Pennsylvania medicine. And we're thrilled that she 388 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: could join us right now. Dr Lee, Those of us 389 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: of a certain age have the giving of a vaccine 390 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: as being a doctor's office with a cold thing in 391 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: the corner, or maybe not, or maybe it was drops 392 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: of polio. How do you envision the vaccination of those 393 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: younger in the coming months. Well, we're really looking forward 394 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: to having the ability to have information around the safety 395 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: and efficacy of at least are our teenagers, you know, 396 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: twelve and older. UM. Currently we're able to vaccinate those 397 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: who are sixteen and older when those phays has become 398 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: available to us to be able to vaccinate at a 399 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: local level. UM, but imagine that we're going to need 400 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: to continue to push for vaccine clinical trials in the 401 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: younger age group. UM. It's going to be really important 402 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: for us to be able to uh, you know, uh 403 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: protect all of our all of our kids and adults 404 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: and our older adult population as effectively as possible. Do 405 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: you assume that we will be using these new modern vaccines, 406 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: the m r NA vaccines or do we await something 407 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: more conventional, something more traditional, I mean much like the 408 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: development to date. UM. My perspective is that we need 409 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: to have a diverse portfolio to ensure that we have 410 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: candidates that are potentially viable to be able to protect 411 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: the younger population. So, you know, having testing the m 412 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: r and A vaccines and those are anticipated to go 413 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: into hopefully trials down to age six months M, but 414 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: I also anticipate the other vaccine candidates we hope will 415 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: continue to be in development for that population. We're gonna 416 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna need as many vaccine candidates as possible in 417 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: order to get anything in a timely way. Dr Lee, 418 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: can we get to hurt immunity without children being vaccinated well, 419 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: so children are known to UM be able to be 420 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: infected and also potentially asymptomatically be infected. So I think 421 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: that is continuing to be a challenge UM in general. 422 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: Although children are less likely to have hospitalization or severe disease, 423 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: you know, we do see severe disease happen number one, 424 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: but number two, I think it is going to be important. 425 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: While we can also employ all of our other mitigation 426 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: strategies specifically specifically for the younger population elementary school, we're 427 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: still going to need options UH in order to be 428 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: able to get back to a new normal UM. We 429 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: are going to be wearing masks and doing social distancing 430 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: and coverting for a long time until we have those 431 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: tools available. There's also a question going forward about and 432 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: rolling enough kids in some of these studies in order 433 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: to get the data necessary to roll out the vaccine. 434 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: Are you concerned about the safety considering the fact the 435 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: younger individuals don't get as six from the virus and 436 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: perhaps are a little more reticent as a result to 437 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: go and get jabbed by a new vaccine. Safety is 438 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: always going to be the number one priority, especially in 439 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: the younger age group. UM agree that the benefit risk 440 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: balance will be UM different for younger kids than it 441 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: is for older But you know, we not only get 442 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: vaccinated to protect ourselves, but also to protect our family 443 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: members and loved ones. UM. I do think that the 444 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: trials will emphasize for sure the safety profile these vaccines 445 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: and younger children. I anticipate that UM it will be 446 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: more challenging to evaluate to the same degree efficacy UM 447 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: as quickly as we were able to do in the 448 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: older adult population. But there are you know, immu and 449 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: abridging studies that are anticipated to be able to understand 450 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: whether or not the immune responding young children israelbust and 451 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: can be as effective as we've seen in the older 452 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: adult population. Ejectively are John Lawerman and Jason Gale did 453 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: a terrific summary a day ago on the global set 454 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: of mall shocks with big effect where they really damage 455 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: people etcetera. For our audience on radio and TV. Now, 456 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: how would you describe the risk of shock and what 457 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: we need to look for in the minutes following a 458 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: vaccine Regarding anaphylaxis, you know, all of our vaccination clinics 459 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: have protocols in place to monitor everybody for fifteen minutes, 460 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: so everyone should anticipate that after a vaccine, but thirty 461 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: minutes for those who have a prior history of a 462 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: severe allergic reaction. UM and individuals who for example, carry 463 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: an EpiPen, you know, are our number one. We do 464 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: screening before they come to make sure that they are 465 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: eligible and can receive the vaccine safely. UM. There are 466 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: still individuals who we want to make sure we provide 467 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: access to vaccine because there are many people with food 468 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: allergies or environmental allergies and so UM we will continue 469 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: to monitor those individuals more closely per our protocol, and 470 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: all clinics are prepared, are asked to be prepared at 471 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: any vaccination clinic providing COVID vaccines to be able to 472 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 1: manage UM, monitor, manage and then effectively be able to 473 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: get those individuals to care as quickly as possible. It 474 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: is a challenge with this particular vaccine grace ly. Thank 475 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: you so much, Dr Lee with Stanford of course here 476 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: their Children's hospital on the path forward with the vaccination. 477 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast.
