1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Let's get to June. Hung Lee, founder and CEO at

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Jail Warren Capital. So in terms of timing here, David Kelly,

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: a JP Morgan Asset Management says it's now timed by

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: stocks and bonds. The sell off has been enough. But

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: if you look at the market cap of the Wilshire

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: five thousands, that's basically the US stock market, it's about

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: thirty seven trillion, and that's hundred and fifty percent of

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: g d P. And Warren Buffett has famously said he

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: feels more comfortable about eight percent. So what is it?

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Is it time to buy now or still be cautious?

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: We remain very cautious. And the UM on Chinese equities,

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: I think um if anyone wants to invest in China

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: right now, multinationals with exposure to China perhaps is the

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: best bet. But even so we think a near term

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: COVID risk is still very high. And then you see

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Guandjo new case in Guanjo in New Cases a story,

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: and you know all the restrictions are back on again.

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: And you know, last last months October um into twentieth

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Party Congress Beijing was kind of impartial lava. And in

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: September there was Chando. So it seems like each month

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: there will be new hotspot for COVID lavta UM. So

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: we don't see any material, meaningful, significant relaxation of a

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: zero COVID strategy. So I think even though with that,

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: even the central bank continues to loosen monetary policy, pumps

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: a liquidity into the market and economy, the velocity of

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: the money is holding back the economic recovery. So UM,

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: we we see we don't have good visibility as to

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: what the normalized economy will be after COVID UM and

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: frankly after the new new cabinet started to work uh

30
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: in Q one next year. So um, in the absence

31
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: of a clear visibility of mescycle earnings, UM, of the economy,

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: of the public companies we're trying to we're just holding

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: back from looking at China directly, all right, So basically

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: listen to them when they're saying, look, we are unswervingly

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: sticking with COVID zero. What about the property sector though,

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: do you think that we've potentially seen a bottom there?

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: You saw that huge jump in developer stokes yesterday. Regulators

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: expanding financial support there for that sector. But I remember correctly, um,

39
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: the opening in the opening remarks UM other the twentieth

40
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Party Congress UM they mentioned the ones again homes are

41
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: for living in all for invest So it seems like,

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, the central government and s o E s

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: are bailing out project by project. But after this restructuring

44
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: or de leverage, um, the s o E property developers

45
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: will play a bigger role in the real estate sectors

46
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: and the non performing or overly lever lever the developers

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: will be washed out. And you're certainly showing that you

48
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: are still cautious on the China market story. When we've

49
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: been looking at these capital outflows. What brings that back in?

50
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley was saying equities would lead a rebound inflows,

51
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: but what about bond buying? Does that resume at a

52
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: bit of a slower pace? Um. So, like we said

53
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: earlier we discussed the earlier offshore investors remain very cautious

54
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: on China, especially the Chinese equities UM and monitor in

55
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: terms of monetary policy psychost China, the US art divergent. Um.

56
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: The FED is tightening and the PBOC is losening. So um,

57
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, um, we were to see we believe there's

58
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: more downside to reman the US dollar um more downside

59
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: than upside, So in that regard, um, that's another head

60
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: wing for the Chinese equities in Chinese economy in general.

61
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, your argument was pretty cogent that equities

62
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: are not investable in China. Decided to COVID overhang and

63
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: then also some of the other issues with with policy

64
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: and with the property sector. What I'm curious about, though,

65
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: is that you say that the way to play it

66
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: is through multinationals. The issue is I suppose that Boeing

67
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: and Nike and Disney are all companies that have faced

68
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: a lot of headwinds because of some of these same

69
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: policies in China. Would it be better to play Southeast

70
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: Asian companies or European companies that are doing business in

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: China or is even that a tricky area. I think

72
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the current environment is really great for stop kicking. So

73
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: on the broad the broad brush, um, you can argue

74
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: liquidity will be leaving China to our Southeast Asian verzios um.

75
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: You know all those emergent markets, um. But the liquidity

76
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: is not great. So that's why we prefer to play

77
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: China still with multinationals. On on a lo side, as

78
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: well as on the shore side. For example, we very

79
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: much like the idea of the short idea of Tesla

80
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: because effectively, it's a it's a Chinese stock with it's

81
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: more than fifty of the production capacity in China and

82
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the global shipment coming out of China.

83
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: So and because it's a heavy exposure to China and

84
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: to running b and to the slow economy and to

85
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: geopolitics between US and China, we think it is a

86
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: very interesting stock. So we're trying to look at the

87
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: company by company, and then you know, Nike, on the

88
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: other hand, we believe their substantial upside because you know,

89
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: once the bc I saga is over and the impact

90
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: is gone, uh, the normalize the demand that it continues

91
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: to be very high. UM. So this is a perfect

92
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: environment for stock picks as opposed to macro kind of

93
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, big picture bets. All right, let's talk about

94
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: the currency. We know that a lot of the is

95
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: being due to a dollar strength, but also a lot

96
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: of movement from authorities to try and stabilize the one

97
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: as well, barring, as you say, any major lockdown events.

98
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Where do we see the un trade? UM? I think um,

99
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: just like I said earlier. UM looks like the central

100
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: bank the government in China continues to losen because in

101
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: the velocity of the money isn't there, So they're trying

102
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: to pump in um as much liquidity into the market,

103
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: into the economy. UH, some in via the infrastructure projects

104
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: and some via you know, the bail else to on

105
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the unfinished the projects, and some into s O ees.

106
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: So the monetary cycle over there is UH is loosening

107
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: this versus titaning in the US. So we believe UM

108
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: let maybe visa the US dollar will continue to weaken,

109
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: but probably not by a big margin, so probably sideway

110
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: around like seven point two five to seven point five. Okay,

111
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: really quickly, you mentioned Tesla had a good looking profile there.

112
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: What about some of the local makers like Neo and

113
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: Expung and h and the Otto. I think this is

114
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: such an interesting time to look at evs. On the

115
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: one hand, you can argue the regulatory support has given

116
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: such a nice boost to all the EV capacity and

117
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the productions. On the other hand, the competition is really

118
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: catching up, and that if you are a pure EV player,

119
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: you're only making five thousand to ten thousand cars a

120
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: month and selling that much it is not a real business.

121
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: It's not generally at J. L. Warren Capital
