7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: wall of worry. We've got interest rates rising, we've got inflation,

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: we've got the economy that is slowing. What is a

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: money manager to do? What is a portfolio manager to do?

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Let's check in with Tom Mantion, He's managing director for

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: UBS Wealth Management. Tom, what are you telling your clients

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: here given some of those challenges, those headwinds, including geopolitical

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: issues that are facing investors these days, other than going

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: to get a steak at Keen's. Yeah, absolutely so. Um, Look,

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the markets probably overreacting to two tensions in in Russian Ukraine.

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: It's apt to do that. I think you need to

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: look past this where we're gonna be in two years,

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: five years, seven years. Um. If people need to do

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: something and feel like they have to take action, I'm

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: not sure safe Haven treasuries are the place to be

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: right now on the front end of the FED tightening cycle.

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: So maybe commodity exposure energy might be a better way

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: to hedge anybody's fears of escalating tensions in Russia. I

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: wonder about your thoughts on energy, because you know, this

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: run up hasn't been entirely driven by Russia Ukraine. We

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: were already on the way up. And um, you know,

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: assuming that Putin just takes a couple of states and

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: people get kind of angry but do nothing about it,

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: what happens after everything calms down? Is there still support

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: for oil at nine dollars a barrel? Well, clearly the

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: global economy is growing, and as the pandemic receives and

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: things open up and people start moving around again, Yeah,

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be more demand for for energy, so there

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: could be support for a higher price of oil for

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: for longer. I think the risk here is that that

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, you get to a hundred and fifty barrel

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: oil and that that will take a chunk out of

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: global demand. So, um, that is the tail risk in

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: this scenario. I would say, Tom, what's the biggest question?

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: They're the most common question, the most common concern you

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: hear from your clients. I think I think you know,

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: before the Ukraine, Russia, it's the FED, and the said

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: has been been a hundred percent the top of everybody's mind.

44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do as a fifty basis points

45
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: is if four hikes is six hykes, is it more

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: than six hykes? I think the market is probably overreacted

47
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: to that as well. I think, Um, you know, the

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: set has consistently been slow and steady, and I would

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: not anticipate anything different than that. So I would expect

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: basis point hike in March, and that's what we've been

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: telling our our clients, and I think that it will

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: continue slow and steady from there. You know, we're continually

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: continuously hearing um worries about earnings and analysts kind of

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: downgrading their outlook. UM. The quants over at JP Morgan say, um,

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: you know this glut of earnings gloom signals trouble for

56
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: the markets. At the same time, JP Morgan's UH chief

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: their strategists, Mislav Matchka, says, UM, stock pessimism is in vogue,

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: but it's wrong. How do you how do you look

59
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: at US earnings? The US corporate picture and how that's

60
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: going to affect stocks. I think we're I think we're

61
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: still in a in a growth mode for for US

62
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: corporate earnings for sure. Um, you had to report this morning,

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: it was quite good. Um. I think the US economy

64
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: continues to show strengths in the stace of of inflationary pressures,

65
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I think you know, inflation will begin

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: to subside, you know, for a host of reasons. Right,

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: cons get easier. Uh, that's just maths. But but more

68
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: importantly is people spend on services and not goods. That'll

69
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: that'll help um, some of that inflation data as well.

70
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm I'm kind of unconcerned. So I'm

71
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: on the I'm on the strategist side. I think I'm

72
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: constructive of bullish on US equities through the year. So

73
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: I would I would tell people, you know, take advantage

74
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: of of things you like here at this market right

75
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: now and possibly get some capital at work. Yeah, it's interesting,

76
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Federal Reserve. We're looking at the w

77
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I r P function on the Bloomberg terminals suggesting that

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the market's discounting seven rate hikes in County. Is that

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: really bring to the for the risk that this fed

80
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: overreacts and maybe does push this economy into recession or

81
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: at least you know reset. I think it's probably more

82
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: indicative of the market overreacting to the said than the

83
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: other way around. Uh, you know it would It would

84
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: totally surprised me if we saw seven hikes um uh

85
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: in two Uh that that seems a little aggressive, especially

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: given the backdrop. Right. Um, you know that if if

87
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: we do get escalating tensions of oil prices, do get

88
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: over a hundred bucks at barrel, that's gonna cool demand.

89
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna cool inflation. It's gonna cool demand for goods

90
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: and services. So yeah, I would go, I would I

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: would play the flip side of that coin for sure.

92
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: All Right, definitely over reacted here. Interesting. All right, We'll

93
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. Tom, Thanks much for joining us. Uh.

94
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: I really appreciate getting your thoughts. Tom Manton, Managing director

95
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: for UBS Wealth Management, based up in Stanford, Connecticut. Let's

96
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: get to our next get straight away. R J. Gallo,

97
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: He's no stranger here, senior portfolio manager at Federator Herme's

98
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: r J. What are you telling your fixed income portfolio

99
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: managers at Federator Hermes. Today we're still staying short. Um,

100
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine developments have unfolded in a manner that

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: you can't say it's too surprising, but um, it's it's

102
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: hard to argue that it's over. I think the key

103
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: right now is further escalation in Russia Ukraine grabs the

104
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: markets by the collar and pulls them away from the

105
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: inflation movie that we've been watching for obsessively for a

106
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: while now. But once we get past the most dramatic

107
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: parts of Russia Ukraine, we still have to focus on inflation.

108
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: Uh seven percent is too high. If there are many

109
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: paths that the Ukraine Russia situation can follow, but many

110
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: of them involved aggravating the inflation problem. So inflation is

111
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: still a major issue. As a result, on net we

112
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: have we're a little less short than we worst day

113
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, but we still are maturely short in

114
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: our duration call across the fixed and confranchise of Federated Herms.

115
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: So where do you go to hide from Ation's what's

116
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: the safest place? Brond managers hate inflation right and arose

117
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: the the value of your fixed coupon. Certainly, consumers are

118
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: worried about it. Ha's become a political issue. Within a

119
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: fixed income portfolio. The ways to play defense floating rate,

120
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: take credit risk, reduced duration. UH. Last year we were

121
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: heavily overweight TIPS and our total return bond fund that

122
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: was a huge wind. Tips this year haven't been quite

123
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: as strong because it was basically pricing in the inflation surprise.

124
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: You want to get in before the inflation surprises in

125
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the price. And then the feed had to react by

126
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: their massively hawk ish one eighty, which drives really yields

127
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: up and is now depressing TIPS returns on a year

128
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: today basis the Tips, the Bloomberg Tips index is down

129
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: about three and a half percent. We have a Bloomberg

130
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Tips index. Yeah, wow, yeah for sure. Why not? Why

131
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: you t t R you you if you have a

132
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: terminal in front of you, all right, So it's interesting

133
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: here are j You know. One of the concerns I

134
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: have is that the FED is going to blow this,

135
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be too aggressive. Maybe do fifty basis

136
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: points in March and then do maybe total seven or

137
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: so I think the market that could be a problem

138
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: for the market. Are you concerned about the Fed maybe

139
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: overstepping their bounds. Um, I'm concerned that it could happen,

140
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: but I do think I'm often almost a little surprised

141
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: if you talk about this in the markets so that much.

142
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: If you desktop your macroeconomics from grad school, Um, you

143
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: know years ago. For a lot of people, maybe more.

144
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: The role of expectations is fundamental. Uh, And the Fed

145
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: now has to talk tough. They need to fuel expectations

146
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: that they will maybe go too far. Why because that

147
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: helps them from not having to go too far. If

148
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: people are concerned that the Fed is going to tighten

149
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: seven times and slow the economy and slow stocks, what

150
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: happens financial conditions tighten. That's what the FED wants. It

151
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: could actually reduce the terminal FED funds rate. If the

152
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: markets believe the Fed is going to be tough on inflation,

153
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: it is in that's their objective. Now, you don't hear

154
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Powell talking about it because he's not like he's only

155
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: a ben burnankie. He's not a macroeconomist who's all about

156
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: shaping expectations. But that's the script they're following. Now is

157
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: the time to talk tough on inflation. Even Neil Kashkari

158
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: is somewhat become more hawkish than he was, all right,

159
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, how could you not. There's no other direction

160
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: for him to go. Let's face it, that's right now.

161
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: I'd argued today I was talking to our ahead of

162
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: risk management. I said, the FED is not hawk is

163
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: The FED is a hawk and they're they're talking like

164
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: a hawk and they're hunting inflation and that serves their objective.

165
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: It actually could reduce the level to which they have

166
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: to hike rates if they weren't talking tough. Yeah. I

167
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: don't know what the FED can do though. I think

168
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: it's a supply chain issue primarily. But we'll see. R. J. Gallows,

169
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Senior portfolio manager for Federated Herme's you never see a

170
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: mission undergrad. He's got an MP from Princeton. He's had

171
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: a couple of economics. They're pretty good. They're pretty good schools.

172
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Matt and I love talking about the global supply chain

173
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: challenges out there, from the ship stuck at sea to

174
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: the ports overloaded and how it impacts different industries. Statement

175
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: take a view of that from the world of the

176
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: fashion industry, and we could do that with ronand Samuel

177
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: CEO of corn It Digital is a publicly traded company

178
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: on the NASTAC k r NT is a symbol Ronan.

179
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us here. Just let's just

180
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: start out and just refresh our memory. What do you

181
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: guys do at Corner Digital. Yeah, first of all, it's

182
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: great to be here with all of you. And what

183
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: is Corny Digital is doing is actually comes forming the

184
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: textile industry and the fashion industry to on demand, sustainable

185
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: production and changing totally the supply chain of this industry. So, um,

186
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: how are you doing that right now? As we run

187
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: into these incredible supply chain walls and chip shortages. How

188
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: much more difficult is it? So? As you know, um,

189
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: the supply chain is broken, and specifically the supply chain

190
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: for the fashion industries, who is totally broken. The industry

191
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: used to produce in large quantities in China, in Bangladesh,

192
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: shipping it overseas UH and planning everything eighteen months in entrance, um,

193
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: and trying to focus what the consumer and people will

194
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: consume in eighteen months from now, which is impossible in

195
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: today worlds where everything is moving digital and the consumer

196
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: would like to get things on demand and the generations

197
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: that would like to be unique, it's almost impossible to focus,

198
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: and what we see today is at thirty percent of

199
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the everything that being produced is actually being thrown away.

200
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: This industry is the second most polluted industry and one

201
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: of the main reasons over productions are being made in

202
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: China and by Gladesh. What Comte is driving is the

203
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: fully different supply chain. Actually, what we are enabling is

204
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: the consumers to order what they want in e commerce

205
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: in any marketplace, um any products they would like. The

206
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: products exists, virtually does not exist, was not produced yet,

207
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: and only one the consumer order the product. Only then

208
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: it goes to production and being delivered to the consumer

209
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: within forty eight hours to his house. So this is

210
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: the entire system is actually creating the new operating system

211
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: for the fashion industry. For the text that is so Ronnan.

212
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: You know, for pretty much anywhere around the world, you

213
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: look at a piece of clothing and you look at

214
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: the tag and it is made in China. And for

215
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: a lot of industries, you know, we've heard about the

216
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: move to kind of onshore some production. Is that also

217
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: an issue for the fashion industry If I look at

218
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: the tagle actually made in the USA or made in

219
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: Italy more going forward, do you think, yeah, it's actually

220
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: what we see today is a move to on show

221
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: and new show production. We see massively brands. Fashion brands

222
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: cannot any more trust the supply chains are being produced

223
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: in China, uh, and they're moving on shore. We see

224
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: production moving into US definitely with the trends of selling

225
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: through the e commerce, through the Yeah, digital commerce, Um,

226
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: you have to change the supply chain, um. And digital

227
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: commerce enabled the brand actually to provide endless amount of products,

228
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: endless amount of design which you don't need to carry,

229
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: they don't need to produce it in advance, and and

230
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: by that enabling the consume to choose what they want

231
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: when they want, and to produce exactly what the consumer

232
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: needs without waste because being produced after the consumer place

233
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: to order. Running, you're not just running cornet, I mean um,

234
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: in terms of your your knowledge base, you also got

235
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: your NBA Northwestern. Paul tells me it's one of the

236
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: best business fouls in the world. And I just wonder

237
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: about the considering the current news the headlines of Russia

238
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: and Ukraine. UM, we know that the economy in that

239
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: part of the world is incredibly poor. Are they active

240
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: in the global supply chain? Does that you know I'm

241
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: not asking if your specific business now has needs there,

242
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: but how much of a wrench does that throw into

243
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: manufacturing globally? So Russia is a big capital professhion um,

244
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: but it's mainly for the local market. Um. So I

245
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: do not foresee impact on the global fashion world due

246
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: to this uh potential world that happening right now for

247
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: but definitely going to be an impact for the local

248
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: market in Russia. And Rade, Yeah, I figured, um, you know,

249
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: there probably wasn't a huge impact on the global supply chain.

250
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: But I thought, if we're going to ask anybody'll be

251
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: let me ask this guy who went to the Kellogg

252
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: School of Business, Absolutely Ronan, what what aircraft did you

253
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: fly in the Israeli Air Force? Um My flew Apache helicopter.

254
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: That could be that just gives them that your man

255
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: card is automatically been gold plated. That is incredible. Um alright,

256
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: So just getting back too quickly, Um, the business and

257
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: the demand I wonder about from corn it Um, what

258
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: kind of demand growth are you seeing as we come

259
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: out of this pandemic? Yeah, so we just finish twenty

260
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: one was the recording for us. Of course, we finished

261
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: the year with more than sixty. Growth over years to

262
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: four was very strong. Usually the peak season is in

263
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Q four where we saw many new customers entering and

264
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: also our existing customers, some big brands of very fast.

269
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of satellites in the sky and

270
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: the risk as they start crashing into each other. I'm

271
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: not sure if that's a big issue, but let's talk

272
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: satellites with Emiliano car Damon, CEO and founder of State Logic.

273

Speaker 1: What were you guys up to? Thanks for having great

278
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: to be here. So we are. We're a satellite company.

279
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: As you say, we build high resolutions imaging satellite or

280
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: satellites basically take very detailed pictures often happening on Earth.

281
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: We have a seven team around the planet. Today. We

282
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: have the ability to image any point on the planet

283
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: four times per day today and we're launching over two

284
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: hundred satellite in the next few years to remap. It

285
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: will give us the ability to remap the entire surface

286
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: of the planet, every spur of the surface of Earth,

287
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: every single day, so that we can deliver this data

288
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: to prove decision making for governments and for every corporation

289
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: or financial institutions and so on. What what's the story

290
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: with the price? Because I see the stock up at

291
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: twelve thirty three in the middle of January. Now you're

292
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: down at five seventy nine. What happened there? Well, the

293
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: market in general, I think have a lot of other

294
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: visually where you know, we we came out, we started

295
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: listening and bespact earlier this year after announcing the transaction

296
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: with Liberty Strategic Capital to fully fund or business and uh,

297
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, more than looking at the day to day

298
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: at the stock, they were looking down and going to execute.

299
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: But we think, you know, the current prize the stock

300
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: is significantly under that needs to We recently announced the

301
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: UH stop UH repurchase program because we just think the

302
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, in time, Boue that's what we fund about representatility.

303
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: But by the way, in terms of um what clients

304
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: do with your data? Um who who? Who wants these

305
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: pictures and what are they using them for? Today? The

306
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: largest customers are governments around the world, so the US

307
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: government and U S allies around the world that wants

308
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: to see what's happening so defense and intelligence purposes. He

309
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: received today on the East situation in Ukraine. Um or

310
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: customers will use the data to see what's happening there

311
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: every single day, several times per day. How close can

312
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: you get? Is this like uh like adjacent Bourne situation

313
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: where like the n s A can can watch me

314
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: passing someone. Uh, you know the MicroTape in Washington Square Park. No,

315
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: let's still on the movies, right. We get to around

316
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: seventy cents of residues, which means, you know, each pixel

317
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: in our image is around seventies tent years or you know,

318
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: uh to see on the side. That basically means we

319
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: can see small vehicles, we can see large vehicles, we

320
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: can see movements, we can see the individual trees in

321
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: a plentation for example, we can see dividual buildings or

322
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: that sort of things. Like it doesn't get to the

323
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: point where you can see, you know, read the license

324
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: plate on a car. So Emiliana, I guess you know.

325
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of weeks, as we watched the newscast,

326
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot of satellite imagery of military installations

327
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: in Ukraine on the board and all that type of stuff.

328
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: Is that something? Is that a part of the market,

329
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: the military application that your company looks at. That has

330
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: been the market for observation up until now, and we

331
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: are changing that way because our satellites have a hundred

332
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: times better unit economics. We can build a satellite or

333
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: less than a million dollars, we can put them in

334
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: more of it and they get to collect data continuously

335
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: in the very entire resolution. Because of this hundred times

336
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: that are un economics that when any other satellite company have.

337
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: We are now in a position to change this and

338
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: make it so that everybody can afford it. So every

339
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: financial institution and insurance company, every agricultural company, we can

340
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: all start affording now to get the state and that

341
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: up until now only government. Right, So, if you're a

342
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: small farmer and you want to see, you know, what's

343
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: happening in your fields or what's happened with your supplied

344
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: Now you can afford that you know the same way

345
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: that he has gone on things, go and look at

346
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: what's happening on the other side of all right, that's

347
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,959
