1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: The single best idea, of course it would be after

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: the fact, but tune into the FED to Sides this afternoon,

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 2: which is a show we invented to just say let's

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: have good conversation around a FED meeting. I remember when,

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: you know, the first time we put it together ages ago.

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: I think Scarlett Foo was with me at the time,

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: and the basic idea was there's a lot of different opinions.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: I can't remember a time where there's more people swing

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: in one way and more people swing in the other

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: way that we see right now. And I would codify

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: it in economics with Tom Percelli, who was on today

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: with p Jim who said, look, they're going to cut rates.

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: They have to cut rates, and he gave four reasons,

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 2: and Lindsay piegsa At Stiefel, who says they're wrong. They

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: need to get out front, raise rays, clamped this thing down,

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: stopped this inflation trend, and then bring them down. And

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: that's what we're trying to do at surveillance. We'll see

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: if we can effort them for conversation next week or

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: even the week on a single best idea today, two

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: really different views here. The first one is Stuart Kaiser.

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: Stuart Kaiser's a city group. He has been not a

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: rabbid bull, but he's been someone that said, here's the

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: framework for American exceptionalism, American GDP, and it's going to

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: lead into higher stock prices. He looks at the broadening

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: of the market and he says in earning season, it's

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: tough to get the data right.

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: The problem with the broadening theme for US has been

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't work in two conditions, one when you have

30
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 3: risk rising and two, frankly during earnings because the fact

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: is your Microsoft's, your Apples, your Amazons, your Google's are

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: just putting up huge numbers. It harkens back a little

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: bit to the late nineties when you were basically introducing

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: a new technology into the system and you assumed a

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: forecasts really large revenue growth, but you were a little on

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: certain about, you know, both the size and timing of it.

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: So I think what you're having is to your point,

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: people are compartmentalizing a little bit, right, Like, I need

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: to have some AI exposure on let me choose the

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: way to do that, and then off to the side

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: of that, I kind of need to model the rest

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: of the market, you know, as a little bit independently.

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: So it is a challenge, but it's a good challenge

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: to have, right I think it's a good challenge to

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: have that you have this large thematic revenue growth impulse

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: kind of coming through the system and look at this

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: is why you know, we've kind of joked the Nvidia

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: earnings report in late May is priced as big an

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: event as payrolls on Friday. Not only is it a

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: big theme, it's also an uncertain theme. And even at

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: the S and P level, that risk is being priced

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: very aggressibly.

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: Stud Kaiser City Group. There very sharp, huge response today

54
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: and we'll get them back soon. I really want to

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: emphasize that in the earning season we're in, there's different

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: metrics that I hear and they come into vogue, that

57
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: come out of vogue, and one of them off the

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: tech juggernaut we've seen so far with Apple tomorrow is

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: not organic revenue growth, which I think is pretty intuitive.

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, here's the company. Forget about acquisitions and

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: all that, what's the actual interior revenue growth of the company.

62
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: And of course, Coca Cola with a blowout eleven percent statistic.

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: But one to start looking at is annual recurring revenue

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: aar R. Somebody had this out on Twitter. I'm sorry,

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: I can't cite them. I don't have it in front

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: of me. But aarr is really really interesting about what's

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: the belief in what a recurring revenue is at Google

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: or at Amazon, or what we'll see from Apple, where

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: there's a huge mystery about their recurring at revenue. That's

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: a phrase, excuse me, I'm fighting a plague. That's a

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: phrase that I think you really got to get used

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: to in a two thousand and twenty five. You also

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: get used to people with a venerable pass. Brian Whalen

74
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: is at TCW. They're a ginormous West Coast Byside institution,

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: lots of penchip, lots of institutional money. And he's in

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: fixed income. And what's important is he was in the

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: trenches at DLJ Donaldson, Lufkin, Jenarett, ages Ago, and so

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: he brings a huge knowledge base of fixed income dynamics.

79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: And he's where I am, and where I am doesn't matter,

80
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: but it really matters if Ken Rogoff of Harvard's at

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: the same place. Ken Rogoff with David Wesson looked for

82
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: that on Wall Street Week and Professor Rogoff was adamant.

83
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: He's focused on the inflation adjusted yields plural and I

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: totally agree with this that what we really care about,

85
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: including Jerome Poal this afternoon, is an analysis of the

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: real yield. Brian Whalen of TCW on the.

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: Real yield, I think that's the knockout blow. I don't

88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: think this two point seven. I don't think this market

89
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: could really even handle two point five. But if we

90
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: saw a jump up to like two point seven percent,

91
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: which is you know rates, last time we were at

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: these levels that kind of level and real interest rates

93
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: right before the financial crisis, clearly, you know, the economy,

94
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the markets couldn't handle it. This time around, we do

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: the same thing, and then what would happen is that

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: if you get rates up that high, you're going to see,

97
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, equity markets crater, and then you're going to

98
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: hit financial conditions. And what you're going to see is

99
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: a consumer who's already stressed and they're borrowing a lot

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: more than they used to. And yes, spending is high,

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: but they're doing it because of the wealth effects, because

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: they look at their equity market portfolio and they say, hey,

103
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: I feel I feel good. I've got more money than

104
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I had last year. Once you see that drop on

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: your screen, you know, and you know on your broker

106
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: screen that changes, that'll be the end.

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: Let me translate this because that was a pro conversation

108
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: right now, the ten year inflation adjusted yield. There's different

109
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: measurements of this, there's different regimes you can use. Is

110
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: two point twenty seven percent? Not that long ago, we're

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: at one point nine something and it was like, are

112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: you kidding me? We're going to go through two percent?

113
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: And we've gone up to two point two seven percent,

114
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: And mister Whaleen there's talking about not he's not predicting,

115
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: but he's saying, if you get a ten year real

116
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: yield to two point four two point five and I

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: believe he said two point seven percent, there you put

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: some real stress on the balance sheets of America, the

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: different individual the home and the corporate balance sheets as well.

120
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: We've gone a little along Today's single best idea or

121
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: out on Apple, car Play and Android all sorts of

122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: new things, including a complete two hour, fifty six minute

123
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: epic replay of the show. Look for that three PMS

124
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: two thirty pmsh out on Bloomberg podcasts and of course

125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: on YouTube. We're building it out. Search Bloomberg podcasts and

126
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: look for Bloomberg surveillance. There it is Kaiser and Whyland,

127
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: Kaiser and Whalan are single best idea

128
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: Wo
