7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: smack dev in the middle of earnings, particularly tech earnings.

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Had some monster names last night, Apple, Google, Microsoft. Today

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: we've got Facebook after the close and some really strong numbers.

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: Um let's check in with Man Deep, seeing he possibly

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: is the most overeducated tech analysts on Wall Street. He's

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: a tech anast for Bloomberg Intelligence. Um Man Deep the

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: story last night, I looked at the Google numbers and

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: this is an alphabet free studio here, we're all about Google.

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't care how much they paid for the consultants

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: to come up with the alphabet name. UM Google to

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: some monster numbers on the top line digital advertising. I

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: guess that kind of follows up with what we saw

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: from snap in Twitter. But that's the story. It seems like,

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: right digital advertising is just on fire. It did and

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: I think the real standout for me was YouTube. So

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: if you look at the YouTube print growth, I get

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: it the comps were easier, but the magnitude of the

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: beat really stood out. And I think what it goes

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: to show if you compare YouTube to Netflix and Spotify,

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: Netflix and Spotify both had a deceleration and subscriber growth.

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: YouTube ad growth is growing, and it's growing in proportion

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: to the time spent on their platform. So because people

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: are spending more time on YouTube, it's translating into more

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: ad dollars. And then there's a pricing Kaleman, because every

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: small business is advertising on a YouTube. So why are

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I've noticed that I spend a heck of a lot

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: more time on YouTube? And for me, the reason is

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: that they've just got the algorithm right. When I'm watching

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: a video, I'll go there, how to change a clutch

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: on a nineteen seventy two BMW or and then but

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: then they pop up SNL videos on my you know,

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: having nothing to do with changing a clutch, but that

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: I want to see, so I start clicking through them,

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: you know, so they know what I want even when

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm not searching for it. Well, so that's where the

42
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: AI element comes into play. They keep emphasizing how critical

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: AI is to search YouTube and it really, I mean,

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: there is nobody out there who can compete with YouTube

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: just in terms of, you know, bringing all the content

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: together that you want to watch. And I think that's

47
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: what's translating into add dollars. We did some numbers. So

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: if you look at you know, Netflix are poo, that's

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: like a average revenue per user. It's like, at best

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: seventeen dollars per user. Guess what in case of YouTube

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: or Facebook for that matter, that are poo. In case

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: of Facebook, it's around two hundred dollars in North America.

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: In case of YouTube, it's close to fifty dollars. And

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: that just goes to show it. AD model is much

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: better when it comes to monetizing. The user based subscription

56
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: kind of puts the ceiling in terms of how well

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: you can monetize, but not in case of ads. It's

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Facebook has a two R poo yes in North America,

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see it in the results tonight. All right, So,

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: just finishing up on YouTube, I'm putting my investment banker

61
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: hat on. I'm making a phone call out to the

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: folks there and saying, let's spin this thing out. You're

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna get a monster multiple on this thing. Is there

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: any scenario where they spin out YouTube? I mean, if

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the regulatory landscape, you know, gets the better of them

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in terms of splitting the other than that, they're not.

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: They're not. There's not much to talk about that because

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: but I would argue if they spin it out, it

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: will be a market cap that's equal to the market

70
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: cap of Spotify and Netflix combined at least. See, that's

71
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: all I think, Mad. You gotta create value, you gotta

72
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: gotta generate those feast all right, Well that's why you

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: were the banker, you know. I just think about what

74
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: videos I want to watch on YouTube now? And you

75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: know why others are you know how others are losing ground?

76
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: For example, why isn't Netflix stepping up to meet the challenge?

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Why isn't you know, Hulu or what do you watch?

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: You watch the Disney Plus thing, right, Mandalorian, I just

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: watched sports. Yeah, there's not a great sports you know

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: in Europe we have does Zone, D A Z and

81
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: I don't know what you have here, but that covers

82
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: all Europe. PSP plus is kind of getting there. So

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: so in terms of tech earnings, well, in terms of

84
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: all earnings. Man Deep we were talking earlier on the

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: program a D eight point five percent of companies that

86
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: have reported so far have beaten the streets estimates. And

87
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: if you look at what was the chart I was

88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: pulling up earlier, I'll find it in one second. But

89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: it's it's unbelievable. How more every year, more and more

90
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: um companies beat the streets estimates. So it looks like

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the Street just isn't doing a very good job estimating earnings.

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: And it's not like they getting it wrong on both sides, right,

93
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: it's asymmetric. They're always forecasting too little revenue and too

94
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: little earnings. Why do you think that is? I mean

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: the secular trends that we are seeing out there, you know, cloud, online, advertising, online,

96
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: you're logged in? Are you logged in over there? No?

97
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: He's not Okay. I just want to say the chart is.

98
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: I keep telling people because for listeners that have a

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: terminal in front of them, to me, this is shocking.

100
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: It goes back to the nineties, g hashtag, b TV.

101
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Back then, only fifty percent of companies were beating In

102
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: the two thousand odds we're beating in the last ten years.

103
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's climbed higher and higher. Now almost everyone's beating.

104
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: Why can't analysts get it right? Like I said, these

105
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: trends are very powerful, you know, the online advertising trend, cloud,

106
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: online streaming. No one really expected the change to happen

107
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: this quickly. E commerce. Everyone talks about how we have

108
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: pulled forward five years worth of e commerce penetration in

109
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: one year because of the pandemic. So that is the

110
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: reason Facebook. After the close tonight, are we gonna be

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: blown away what we're looking for? Yes? I I think

112
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: the nature of the beat will be somewhat different. This

113
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: will be more of an ad pricing beat as opposed

114
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: to a YouTube which was really ad impressions because of

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: the time spent way more than what people expected. So

116
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: in this in Facebook's case, it's going to be driven

117
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: by ad pricing because advertisers see value in advertising on Facebook.

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Is there anything sweet happening on the peripherals when you

119
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: look at Google at the moon shots, any of those

120
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: doing well? Where you look at Facebook, like Libra is

121
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: that's going to start to take off? So Facebook has

122
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: pivoted to their own payments now they launched Facebook pay

123
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: not no connection to Libra, and that's where you're gonna

124
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: see that transition that it will be e commerce within

125
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: the app and that's where the payments will come into.

126
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Still blockchain based or is it no? No, it's just

127
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: any other payments like or uh, you know, behind the

128
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: scenes they're using PayPal. But it's very similar in concept

129
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 1: to Venmo. What's the disappointed? What's their chat thing again?

130
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: What's their chat service? What's happened? Dude? What's everybody in

131
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: the world? America uses What's App? That and Russia don't

132
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: use What's App? Are we going to monetize What'sapp yet? Yes,

133
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: they are looking to make it more enterprise oriented. There

134
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: are businesses that are exclusively using What'sapp to communicate with

135
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: their customers. So, but I think the monetization will still

136
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: be slow. If you compare the other businesses for end

137
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: encryption Instagram. Instagram will be another blowout when it comes

138
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: to Facebook. I g Insta, what do you call it?

139
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I use Insta you know a lot. But What's App

140
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: is like the way I communicate with everybody. And the

141
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: interesting thing is, although it's end to end encryption, if

142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: I start what's apping you about Arames Ties. I'm gonna

143
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: start getting ads in my feet for after That's the

144
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: way they do it, all right. Mendep Singh, a senior

145
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: tech analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, giving us his thoughts on

146
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: all these tech stuff again Facebook after the close expected

147
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: to be another blowout quarter. Let's get over to uh

148
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Cleveland right now, Chief Economy is of Payton and Regal,

149
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: talking to us about what to expect from the Fed today. Jeff,

150
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of guests say, um, probably not

151
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: a big change in policy. But will j Powell have

152
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: to justify continuing to um spend a hundred twenty billion

153
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: dollars a month in his asset to purchase program? You

154
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: had no change in policy, but yeah, I think he's

155
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna get grilled, probably the assembled masses there on some

156
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: important questions. You know, for me, probably the most important

157
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: question is this whole substantial further progress? And and have

158
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: we made substantial further progress? The classic these I love

159
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: these phrases. It keeps me employed Fed watchers. But you know,

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: if you look, we like to look at employment to

161
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: population four year olds. We on that ratio or that

162
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: on percentage. We were seventies six three back in December

163
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: when the Fed started saying they wanted to see substantial

164
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: further progress. It's now climbed, I guess crawled back to

165
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: seventies seven point two um for comparison that that that

166
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: percentage was eight point five before COVID, So I don't

167
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: know if that counts. In my mind, that doesn't count

168
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: a substantial further progress, But I'm curious what Chair Powell

169
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: has to say. So that would be the I guess

170
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: if I was the reporter, that's the first thing I

171
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: would ask to get an update on that, and then

172
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: forward that question to Michael McKean, Yeah, please do. And

173
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: then I suppose after that, I want I would want

174
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: to see what the different disagreements are, you know, kind

175
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: of kind of tease that out. What are what are?

176
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: And I think maybe one for me would be, you know,

177
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: why continuing to buy the mortgage backed securities given how

178
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: far we are into the recovery and the fact that

179
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: the housing market is, I mean, it's on fire for

180
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, So I don't know

181
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: if that is necessary at this point. So I guess

182
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: that would be if you put me in charge, I

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: might cut back or curtail those purchases before I curtailed

184
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: the treasury purchases. So questions around that I think would

185
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: be interesting to bring up at the press conference. So, Jeffrey,

186
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: when tapering begins, what's it gonna look like? How is

187
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: there going to be a big signaling event? Is that

188
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: what I'm is that why I'm going to go out

189
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: to Jackson Hole if in fact I do go out

190
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: to Jackson Hole in August. I think, you know, tapering

191
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: was so interested last interesting last cycle because it had

192
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: such a huge impact on the fixed income markets. But

193
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: bond traders jumped to the conclusion that if the FED

194
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: was tapering, that they were going to soon high rates.

195
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: That's why we saw such volatility in the spring and

196
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: summer of this time around. I don't know, I feel

197
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: like it should be far less interesting. The Fed has

198
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: done a pretty good job of trying to disconnect the

199
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: two decisions, the tapering decision from the rate high decision.

200
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: There they're two distinct things. So it shouldn't have it

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't have the impact. It shouldn't be the signal for

202
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: for overnight rate that it played last cycle. So I

203
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe we're just looking for something to talk about,

204
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: and that's what we're talking so much about taper. It

205
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: will be more of a non event this time around.

206
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of my gut instinct here. Um, you know,

207
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at real yields here, and uh, we're seeing

208
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: yesterday we saw a tickdown to negative one hundred fifteen

209
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: basis points, and I want, I'm starting to wonder, um,

210
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: no longer why but um, if this is just part

211
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: of the government strategy to I don't know, monetize debt

212
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: to somehow inflate its way out of the situation that

213
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: we've got ourselves into. That's historically what we do, right. Yeah.

214
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think what's happening here is that you

215
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: you had a huge surgeon inflation expectations in the springtime,

216
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: and that really peeked out in in the March and

217
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: April period sort of like by the rumor or sell

218
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: the news kind of we got some strong inflationary means

219
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: and now but I think by and large, the market

220
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: is bought into this idea that the inflation we're seeing

221
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: is going to be somewhat transitory, and you're seeing that

222
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: work is way through the markets. So I think that's

223
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, really what's going on as far as the

224
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: bigger plot beyond the scenes, I I don't know. I mean,

225
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: I guess in general it benefits the market to keep sorry,

226
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: the government to keep right slow. Um, you know, the

227
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: effective interest on on the dead burden is quite low.

228
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know if there's a grand strategy. Well

229
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: you know what made me think of it? And this

230
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: is weird. Um, even I know this is weird. I've

231
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: been reading a book, um called Cannibalism. Oh, it's it's

232
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: a great book. I highly recommend people pick it up. Um,

233
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: it's totally has nothing to do with economics. But the

234
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: guy the author quotes um Friedrich Hyak, who says, I

235
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: did not think it's an exaggeration to say history is

236
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: largely a history of inflation, usually inflations engineered by governments

237
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: for the gain of governments. Now clearly this is a

238
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: very Austrian thing to say, obviously, but it just made

239
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: me think. You know, um, we're we keep asking why

240
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: yields are so low, but maybe this is just a

241
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: way to um, you know, get out of the debt

242
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: that we've had to spend, had to borrow U to

243
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: fight COVID. Yeah, I think you know high is correct.

244
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, history tells you the story of of inflations

245
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: and government inflations and and in wartime the role of

246
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: central banks. So I think that's that's important historically. I

247
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: think right now, though, why are rates low? We have

248
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: a huge amount of demand for fixed income security relative

249
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: to supply. Part of the reason for that is that

250
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: the FED has taken a big chunk of the supply

251
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: off off the table. That's why we're talking about taper.

252
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: They've been purchasing under in twenty billion a month, so

253
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: they've taken on supply. If they were to taper, you know,

254
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: I would put more securities back in the market. But

255
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: I I still think the overwhelming story here is not

256
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: so much a central bank or government conspiracy. It's just

257
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: this mundane supply and demand. All right, Jeffrey, thank you

258
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Jeffre Cleveland, chief econress for

259
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: paid in regal. Well, we've got a big i PO

260
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: coming up, particularly for retail investors that are Reddit investors

261
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: or meme investors that have been just really having an

262
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: outsize impact on markets over the past several quarters. UM

263
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: talking about Robin Hood Annie Massa, she's an investing reporter

264
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: for Bloomberg News. She joins us here, any, we've got

265
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: this robin Hood ip I think it's pricing tomorrow. What's

266
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: the latest here on this I p O. That's right,

267
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Its chairs will begin trading tomorrow publicly. And one of

268
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: the biggest things that we're watching and thinking about is

269
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: that robin Hood says that this is one of the

270
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: largest allocations to retail investors in an I p O. Ever,

271
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: it's setting aside up to about thirty five percent of

272
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: its shares for investors on its own platform for robin

273
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: Hood app users, and they get access to the pre

274
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: i p O shares um, which is unusual in uh

275
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: an I p O process. So it's trying to show

276
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: that it's opening up this piece of the I p

277
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: O process to regular investors. What kind of pops have

278
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: we been seeing this year, Annie, and what's expected for tomorrow.

279
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, there have been moments in history when it

280
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: was in vogue to have, you know, a doubling of

281
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: the stock on the first day, and there have been

282
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: times when UM companies have said that's leaving way too

283
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: much money on the table. That is one of the

284
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: definite kind of cushion pull type situations with an I

285
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: p O. I mean, any company is usually looking for

286
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: that nice like price pop above cent or so in

287
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: an I p O in most cases, but that question

288
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: of whether you're leaving money on the table in the

289
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: process is an important one, And Robin Hood has the

290
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: additional pressure of having such a large slice relatively speaking

291
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 1: of this i p O being allocated to retail investors.

292
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: So in an ideal world, you can see how they

293
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: might want to see that big pop in price so

294
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: that they can show how they've created value for those retails.

295
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: But you're saying is basically the sweet spot. That's where

296
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: people think you're not going too far, that you've lost

297
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: a lot of um potential capital. But you also have

298
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: the what do they what do they call that? The hype?

299
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: The hype that you that you want for your IPO.

300
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: The hype factor is definitely something you want with And

301
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm not the it's not to me to exactly decide

302
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: where they would want to be, but they certainly want

303
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: to see the price rise having allocated so much onto

304
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: IPO to their own customers, and either's to me at

305
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: least a fair amount of regulatory risk to this company

306
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: to this deal. The whole payment for order flow was

307
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: an issue, um that I think is going to get

308
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: a lot of regulatory uh scrutiny here. Um just you know,

309
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: kind of meme stock trading in general getting some SEC scrutiny.

310
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: How's the market kind of thinking about some of the risk,

311
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: the regulatory risk for this company in this IPO. In

312
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: the wind up to this i p O, there have

313
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: definitely been multiple regulatory inquides that have come to light,

314
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: some of them still ongoing. Just this week we found

315
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: out about two new inquiries from regulators, One having to

316
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: do with the fact that the chief executive officer and

317
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: chief creative officer, the two co founders of robin Hood,

318
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: are not registered with FINRA, so Finner has been asking

319
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: some questions around that. And then separately, FINNRA and the

320
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: SEC have been asking about employee trades ahead of that

321
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: game stop those was that break on game stop trading

322
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: that robin Hood put into place in late January. So

323
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: those are two new lines of examination that we just

324
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: found out about this week. Of course, that adds to

325
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: other spines of sixty million dollar fine from the SEC

326
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: and a seventy almost seven million dollar fine from FINRA

327
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: that we knew about and that have been settled already.

328
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: So those issues are piling up for robin Hood, and uh,

329
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: they'll certainly be something that investors will be looking at

330
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: as the company becomes public. What just got thirty seconds here?

331
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: What time can we reasonably expect Hood to start trading tomorrow?

332
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: We'll have to watch for it tomorrow, but it won't

333
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: be right, you know, right at nine thirty. Necessarily you'd

334
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: have to wait a little bit later in the day

335
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: for those shares to begin trading. That's what I figured, alright,

336
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: and so long these days, we used to get them

337
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: done ten ten, ten thirty if it was if it

338
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: was a hot deal, hard to kind of price. But

339
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: if it was just a running the mill, we'd get

340
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: it open, you know. Within the first third was down

341
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: on the floor at the n y s E for

342
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: Ferrari and they got it done in about thirty forty minutes. Yep.

343
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, but we'll see how how hot this deal is.

344
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: Any massive investing reporter for Bloomberg News joining us on

345
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: the pholde will be paying attention to that. Robin Hood

346
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: I p O U tomorrow now the FED is coming

347
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: shortly with the statement and the interview, We're all going

348
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: to be paying very close attention here. To help us,

349
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: uh decide what to look for? Is a j Oden

350
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: investment strategist b n Y melon invest your solutions or

351
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: at least a J give us what you're looking for,

352
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: what you're hoping to hear from J Pale on the FED?

353
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me here. I think on what we're

354
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: looking for is really the tone and some of the

355
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: language that they're using. Obviously, we we don't expect interest

356
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: rates to you know, any any conversation about interest rates changing,

357
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: But it's really just about what their sentiment is around inflation,

358
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: you know, do they still see it as transitory and

359
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: any sort of indication of any change from the um

360
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: expectations of of interest rates moving. I think that's really

361
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: what we're gonna be looking for today. Alright, So a

362
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: J let's assume it's kind of steady. She goes low

363
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: for longer. Some people would say lower forever again, just

364
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: just picked a ten year at one point to five.

365
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: How are you and your team's at bn Y allocating capital.

366
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking equity, fixed income alternatives. How are you thinking

367
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: about that in this market, well, in this market, because

368
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: interest rates are solo, we're really looking at the equities

369
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: and real lasses. The commodities is where the place to be,

370
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: right I mean, with interest rates you know, near zero

371
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: and we don't see the FED moving right now in

372
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: the near future, it makes sense to be in those

373
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: spaces to get a sort of a return on your investment.

374
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: And ultimately we like US equities right now. I mean

375
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing some dollar stability. Um. Typically, when we were

376
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: earlier in the part of the year, we were looking

377
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: at more non dollar developed markets as well as PM.

378
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: But when we when you start to factor in things

379
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: about you know, factor and earnings as well as the

380
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: COVID Night Team pandemic and looking at some of the

381
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: variants and how vaccination raids and inoculations are impacting those markets,

382
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: we really like US equities right now. We have a

383
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: overweight to the developed markets Europe and in UK, but

384
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: really have a more of a tilt to US markets

385
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: over UH than those non dollar US equities. Do you

386
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: expect that to change as vaccination rates pick up elsewhere? Um,

387
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, at some point we could see a tilt

388
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: to to move back if there's any sort of indication

389
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: that dollar is going to get a little bit weaker

390
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: than we would like, we'd have a more of a

391
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: preference likely to Europe and UK. But I mean when

392
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing uh, you know, in e M countries, I believe,

393
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: uh you know, the rates their vaccination rates are so low,

394
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: and then a lot of the I guess the struggle

395
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: that they're having with variants, and I guess if you

396
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: not even look at the the delta variant, but also

397
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: the potential for other variants to come to come up

398
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: um and how they haven't moved to to a reopen.

399
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: I think that's really sort of the fear that we

400
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: have or not that's the fear, But are our tilt

401
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: away from those markets and looking more and and a

402
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: little bit more stability in the US and those developed

403
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: market countries. A J. We had some big tech earnings

404
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: last night, Microsoft, Apple, Google, all putting up some really

405
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: really stellar numbers here, Yet the stockture, you know, kind

406
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: of muted here. How do you think about some of

407
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: those big tech names that have worked so well for

408
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: so many investors really since the financial crisis versus you know,

409
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: some of the cyclical names, whether it's banks, or energy

410
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: that have been kind of the rotation trade over the

411
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 1: last year and a half or so. How how are

412
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: you guys positioned on the equity side. That's a great question.

413
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: I think we're because we're in more of a mid

414
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: cycle recovery, we're looking more in quality. I mean, if

415
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: you look at Q one, value performed well, we saw

416
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: much of a steepening of the yield curve last quarter.

417
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: It was growth that really performed well. But we're really

418
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: looking at um quality now since we're more mid cycle,

419
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: we're recovery, looking at to that full reopen um. With

420
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: the tech sector particular, you kind of wonder if there

421
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: is some reverberation of what's going on in China and

422
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: some of the uh, you know, regulation that's coming down

423
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: apply if you kind of think at some point maybe

424
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: that's the sentiment that is going to come this way.

425
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: As you know, if you look at there's in three

426
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: major event types can I think about it that have

427
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: sort of indicated that there will be regulation down the pipe.

428
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: If you look at you know, the January six the interrection,

429
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: you look at MEME stocks as well as most recently

430
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, we've had the conversation

431
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: from the UM the Surgeon General about the importance of

432
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: misinformation disinformation. You kind of wonder at some point will

433
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: there be regulation that these companies have to deal with

434
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: and not necessarily will tech take a back seep. Will

435
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: there be a changing of the guard. Will we see

436
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: leaders in certain areas that may may have been a

437
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: little bit stronger in privacy, will they rotate to be

438
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: more in the forefront in the tech sector, And will

439
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: you see a rotation in some of those larger names.

440
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't think text going anywhere. It's where the innovation,

441
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the growth exists. But we could see

442
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: some headwinds or some rotation in those leaders in those spaces.

443
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,239
Speaker 1: I also wonder about um, you know, the effect of

444
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: China on global stocks so far, you know, we've seen

445
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: Chinese stocks get pummeled and you can't see it in

446
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: the SMP or in the MSCI World Index, but sometimes,

447
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: um there is an effect and it takes a couple

448
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: of weeks or even months for it to come through.

449
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: We saw that, for example in Are you concerned about that?

450
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't say there's a concern there. I

451
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: think ultimately, you know, China is a very large economy. Um,

452
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: and you know, those those changes that they're making, although

453
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: you know we're seeing the impacts of them in their markets.

454
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Ultimately it's it. I think it bodes well for a strong, strong,

455
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: strong growth for them at some point down the line. Um,

456
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: it's just it. I think ultimately the market doesn't like uncertainty,

457
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really for seen in some instances, and

458
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: so I think that's what we're seeing right now. I

459
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: don't I don't see it as a pause for concerns

460
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,520
