1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtis.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: And I'm Doug Krisner. Here are the stories we're following today.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 3: US equities posting the biggest drop in six months. The

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 3: market is adjusting here to a world where rates will

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: be higher for longer. Here's Shanaide Colton Grant, Global head

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: of Investors Solutions at bny MELON Wealth Management.

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 4: Investors are working through very unusual inflation environments, much tighter

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 4: central bank policy, and we're reacting to new information. So

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 4: I would say earlier in the year there was actually

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 4: probably too much optimism about potential FED rate cuts that

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 4: then got priced out of markets. We've now consolidated, We've

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: built a better base to move forward.

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Bn Y Melon's Shinade Colton Grant.

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: So we heard today from the former head of the

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: Saint Louis FED, Jim Bullard. He was saying the Fed

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 2: may need to raise rates even further as a way

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: of avoiding a reacceleration in inflation. Here is Bullard speaking

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: earlier to Bloomberg.

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 5: Earlier this year, there was White's prediction that there would

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 5: be a recession, and in the second half of twenty

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 5: twenty three that recession isn't materializing. So to the extent

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 5: you thought that a recession would produce extra downward pressure

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 5: on inflation that had to be taken back out. So

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 5: you've got you ended up with a higher for longer

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 5: message here. I think that makes a lot of sense.

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: Former Saint Louis Fedbank President Jim Bullard. Now, yesterday we

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: were talking about the Fed holding rates steady at that

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: twenty two year high for the FED funds in a

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: range now between five and a quarter to five and

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: a half percent. Most policymakers at the Fed also signaled

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: they would favor one more rate hike this year, and

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: in new production of predictions, officials trimmed estimates for the

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: number of rate cuts next year from one hundred basis

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: points all the way down to fifty basis points.

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: Brian well Doug a changing of the guard at Fox

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: and his parent company, At least on paper, we had

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: the story from Bloomberg Steve Roppaport.

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 6: Rupert Murdoch is stepping down as chairman of Fox's parent

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 6: company and his news Court media holes, but the ninety

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 6: two year old will maintain a presence as chairman emeritus

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 6: of both companies. Fox says Murdoch's son Lachlan Murdock will

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 6: ascend to chairman of News Corp and retain his role

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 6: as Fox Corps CEO. Lachlan, in a statement, expressed gratitude

44
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 6: that his father will stay on to provide counsel for

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 6: both companies. Rupert Murdoch got his start with a small

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 6: newspaper in Australia and worked his way up to a

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 6: global media empire with a vast portfolio that includes the

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 6: Fox News Network, the Wall Street Journal, and television properties

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 6: in the US and the UK. Steve Rappaport Bloomberg Radio.

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: Big Tech tild deal.

51
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: Today, Cisco Systems has agreed to buy the software developers Splunk.

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: It's a twenty eight billion dollar transaction and it is

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: Cisco's biggest acquisition to date. This move really highlights Cisco's

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: massive push into software and AI powered data analysis. Here's

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow.

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 7: This is so in line with Chuck Robbins right, a

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 7: networking gear seller like Cisco adding the software services in

58
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 7: complement to that. Splunk is a data indexing business. Basically,

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 7: you can monitor network users in real time. It has

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 7: a cyber security element. For those investors or Cisco and

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 7: Splunk investors out there. This deal will not impact Cisco's

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 7: previously an out shared by back program.

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: Bloomberg zed Ludlow. There By the way, Cisco will be

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: paying one hundred and fifty seven dollars a share cash

65
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: that represents a thirty one percent premium to Splunk's closing

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: price on Wednesday. By the way, the cost of the

67
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: transaction represents roughly ten percent of Cisco's market value.

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: Brian, and here is something you alluded to earlier, Doug.

69
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: The Bank of Japan expected to keep monetary stimulus unchanged

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: at its meeting today. Investors will be focusing on any

71
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: remarks by Governor Kazu Ueita on negative rates or the

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: yen that says the end trades near a ten month low,

73
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: although we did get a pop today. As Doug mentioned,

74
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: at the moment dollar yen one forty seven fifty five

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: traders are on alert for possible intervention, with one fifty

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: per dollars seen as the trigger level. Investors will be

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: looking for clarification on Nueita's remark to the Yomiuri newspaper

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: this month. Uaita said that the chances are not zero

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: that authorities might be able to confirm a virtuous wage

80
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: inflation cycle by year end, and that could be a prerequisite.

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: For a rate hype.

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: Ryan Curtis and Doug Critisner Rashad Saloma will join us

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: in a few moments. Doug, as journalists were naturally cynical.

84
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: I can give you example.

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: We were waiting for a hawkish pause from the Fed,

86
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: and we got it. But the thing is, we were

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: waiting for a douvish hawkish pause, and we got a

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: hawkish hawkish pause, So go sell. That's kind of the

89
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: way the market reacted. And I see that as just

90
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: the skiddest nature to all of this.

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: Could be right about that. And let's talk about a

92
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: case of bad timing now, because the latest data from

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: ep FR Global shows that investors plowed in about twenty

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: six point four billion dollars into US equities in the

95
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: most recent week, that was last week. That level is

96
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: the most that we've seen since March twenty twenty two.

97
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: And if you look at what was put into tech alone,

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: about one point three billion. So timing maybe not the best.

99
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: And I think it's fair to say this retreat that

100
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: we have seen not just in the equity market, but

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: in the bond market as well, has been very painful

102
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: for that sixty forty portfolio. So far in the month

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: of September, the sixty to forty model is down nearly

104
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: two percent.

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: So what's troubling, And this goes to the first part

106
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: of your comment is it doesn't look like now investors

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: are quite prepared to buy the dip on megacap tech,

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: at least at the moment.

109
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: We don't know, but that's the signal that we saw today.

110
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: But also what could be troubling to others is that

111
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: you had a pullback in everything, particularly in cyclical consumer

112
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: cyclical areas. The only thing that reasonably performed well was healthcare,

113
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: particularly managed care. That might be a standout going forward.

114
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: I wanted to mention one other story that we will

115
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: be looking at a little bit later. China is loosening

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: capital control measures, and this is to make it easier

117
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 3: for foreigners in Beijing to move their wages and their investments,

118
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: their investment gains and such out of the country. So

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 3: that's part of the effort to woo foreign investors. Will

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: it work, well, we have to wait. They've become pretty disillusioned.

121
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Bill Gros said today that bond markets are headed for

122
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: an unprecedented third year of losses because of sticking inflation

123
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: and widening government deficits.

124
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: And wouldn't that be amazing. I can't even remember the

125
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: last year. Last time we had three years of losses.

126
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: We should we should look that up. Now it's time

127
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: for Global News.

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 3: US House Speaking, Kevin McCarthy has sent members home for

129
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: the weekend after his funding proposal was blocked at Baxter's.

130
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: On top of that, has Global News from the nine

131
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: to sixty news room in San Francisco.

132
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 8: Ed, Yeah, that's right. Brian McCarthy's efforts to get a

133
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 8: government funding bill have blown up, at least for now,

134
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 8: as he got ambushed by two ultra Conservatives who voted

135
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 8: even against bringing the bill up for a vote, dissidents

136
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 8: Eli Crane and once loyal supporter Marjorie Taylor Green.

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 9: We should be passed in appropriation bills right now, and

138
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 9: I've been very clear about take the Ukraine money out

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 9: of the defense bill and put it in a separate

140
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 9: funding bill so that members.

141
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 8: Like me can vote know and others can vote yes

142
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 8: if they want. Now, McCarthy has sent members home until Tuesday,

143
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 8: shortening the working time frame, and still saying there is

144
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 8: time though.

145
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 10: No it's not pretty, but this country's too great to

146
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 10: quit on. And so what we are going to do.

147
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 10: And remember what this is, it's not a cr it's

148
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 10: the funding of government for the next thirty days to

149
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 10: get our work done.

150
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 8: But the reality is he can't get any work done

151
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 8: within his own party. Democratic House Leader Hakim Jeffrey's other

152
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 8: side of the aisle is scolding the mega Republicans and

153
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 8: Republicans in general for that matter.

154
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 11: Need the extreme mega Republicans to get their act together

155
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 11: in the civil war that's happening on the Republican side

156
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 11: of the isle, that's paralyzing Congress. Get your act together

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 11: so we can handle the business of the American people

158
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 11: and solve problems on their behalf.

159
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 8: The deadline is September thirtieth, as you probably know, let's

160
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 8: see Tuesday when they come back is the twenty sixth WOW.

161
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 8: And Bloomberg's Laura David this says almost an impossible job

162
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 8: right now.

163
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 12: Kevin McCarthy is still thinking at how can I keep

164
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 12: my job? How can I keep my right flank happy?

165
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 12: So they're trying all sorts of different things. They voted

166
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 12: on this defense bill earlier in the day. It failed

167
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 12: for the second time this week, a surprised to McCarthy.

168
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 12: Now they're looking at okay, can we go one by

169
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 12: one and pass all these government spending bills. They're going

170
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 12: to have to do some sort of shut stop gap

171
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 12: measure to avoid a shutdown in nine days. But this

172
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 12: is where they're still kind of throwing everything at the

173
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 12: wall see what they can get. And it's almost certain

174
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 12: that we're headed to a shutdown now, just given the

175
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 12: timing and given where everyone is.

176
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 8: Nine days and they're gone for three. Meanwhile, McCarthy has

177
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 8: met with Ukrainian President of Vladimir Zelensky. He says some

178
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 8: of his questions were answered, but all of the presidents

179
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 8: wishes could not be met.

180
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 4: So let's get.

181
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 10: Asked for a joint session.

182
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 13: We just didn't have time.

183
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: He's already given joint session.

184
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 10: So what we're doing for for Zelenski is exactly the

185
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 10: same thing that we did for the Prime Minister of

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 10: the UK the Prime Minister of Italy. We're putting the

187
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 10: bipartisan group of members together to meet with him.

188
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 8: So continued aid from Congress continues to be a question

189
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 8: for Zelenski. Chinese President Shi chiampiing well meet with Sirius

190
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 8: Bashara Salud Assad, I should say on the sidelines of

191
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 8: the Asian Games this week, as Assad makes his first

192
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 8: trip to China in nearly twenty years, and the Indian

193
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 8: Parliament has approved a bill a reserve a third of

194
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 8: lawmaker seats for women. Prime Minister Noarendra Motives says, a

195
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 8: defining moment in the nation's democratic journey. Global News powered

196
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 8: by more than twenty seven hundred journalists and analysts in

197
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 8: over one hundred twenty countries. In San Francisco, I'm Ed Baxter,

198
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 8: and this is Bloomberg.

199
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. I'm Brian Curtis here in

200
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: Hong Kong. My colleague Rishad Saloma is here in the

201
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: studio with me, and our guest is Kim Forrest, founder

202
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: in io of Book Capital Partners. So just a few

203
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: moments ago, Kim, we were musing over what was causing

204
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 3: some of this nervousness in risk assets, like to get

205
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: your take on it.

206
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 14: Sure, well, I agree with your view, both of your views,

207
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 14: that it's a lot of things, and I also think

208
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 14: the third quarter is always kind of tricky and I

209
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,359
Speaker 14: have to see it through my old cell site analyst goggles,

210
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 14: which says, oh, the third quarter is where a lot

211
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 14: of companies are unsure of whether or not they've made

212
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 14: their quarter because of vacations throughout the northern hemisphere. Everybody's

213
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 14: on vacation and it's just hard to get big deals done.

214
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 14: So that just adds a layer of uncertainty to this

215
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 14: quarter that many other quarters don't have. So it's everybody's nervous.

216
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 14: It's the third quarter, and part of me scratches my

217
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 14: head and goes, well, what are you playing this game for? Like,

218
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 14: what's your timeline? And if it's to outperform for this year,

219
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 14: maybe you're going to have a tough time. But how

220
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 14: about we do this. How about we own good companies

221
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 14: and we look for the next three to five years.

222
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense. It

223
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 3: depends on your time horizon, and the short term looks

224
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: like choppy waters. I wonder whether some investors are fearful

225
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: here that this is more than just seasonal weakness and

226
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: that it could morph into a little bit more of

227
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: a selloff on the idea that you have this inversion

228
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: of the yield curve that's telling us that something is

229
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: out there that is likely at least to happen at

230
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: a time when the FED is pretty firmly committed here

231
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: to higher for longer.

232
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 14: Sure, but I do think that what we're really missing

233
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 14: here is that this is a data driven FED, and

234
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 14: what they saw was data that inflation is persistent and

235
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 14: higher than they want. So they're saying, the job number

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 14: one is inflation, you know, getting that under control.

237
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 11: Now.

238
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 14: Remember America is really kind of unique with respect to

239
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 14: them mandates of their central bank. They have two of them,

240
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 14: which is full employment and steady pricing. But just because

241
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 14: they have two of them doesn't mean they can ignore one,

242
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 14: but they can wait one more than the other. And

243
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 14: right now, inflation is what they're trying to conquer. Now,

244
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 14: if they see, you know, the economic conditions changing, guess

245
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 14: what they're going to do. They're going to change. But

246
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 14: right now they were saying, right now, all things being considered,

247
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 14: we're going to have to leave it higher for longer,

248
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 14: which you know, that says that there's some strength here

249
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 14: in the US. Shouldn't be a bad thing. And yet

250
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 14: people are very very nervous that they're going to blow it.

251
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 14: And I think they've done relatively well so far, so

252
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 14: let's see what happens.

253
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, see what happens certainly, So you know, are we

254
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 13: going to be seeing a slow down? I mean I'm

255
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 13: not talking about styflation, recession or anything quite that drastic,

256
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 13: but actually a meaningful slow down in the pipeline. And

257
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 13: will that, as you've been alluding to, be evidenced in

258
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 13: the data we get out of what you say, the

259
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 13: earnings reports that we get. And where does that leave

260
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 13: you with your portfolio?

261
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 14: Well, I think we may see that. I think that

262
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 14: is a very likely thing that probably in the next year,

263
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 14: some that the economy of the US is going to slow.

264
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 14: I don't think it's going to stall. I don't think stackflation.

265
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 14: But again, this could give you the ability to pick

266
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 14: up a good stock at a reasonable price, or maybe

267
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 14: even an extra reasonable price. I keep coming on your

268
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 14: show and saying, bad things happen, for sure, and you

269
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 14: should know what they could be. But good things happen too.

270
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 14: I don't own Nvidio, but in video is quadrupled this

271
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 14: year because of its changing fortunes. And that's what you

272
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 14: as an investor need to be looking for, is not

273
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 14: just the downside changing fortunes, but being brave stepping out

274
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 14: and understanding that there might be a trend that you

275
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 14: should spot and then invest into. So I don't think

276
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 14: going to cash is ever, ever, ever the answer, but

277
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 14: always being aware of both the downside but then the

278
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 14: upside as well.

279
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been quite a sell off in some of

280
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: the high flying megacap tech stocks, more than ten percent

281
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: in some cases. In fact, what's interesting about nvidio. Remember

282
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: when it came out with its earnings, the stock pop

283
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: from three hundred to four hundred, and then it went

284
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: further up after that, but now it's back to four

285
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: to ten, So it's given up almost all the gains

286
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: except for that one day repricing following the earnings. So

287
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: you can imagine that some people might be enticed by that.

288
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: But with rates higher for longer, you know, it seems

289
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: like a lot of people are just interpreting this as

290
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: sell tech.

291
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean that always is the default answer for

292
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 14: a lot of investors, and that's because tech and especially

293
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 14: chips have been tied at the hip to global growth,

294
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 14: if not a region growth. Right, So if you think

295
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 14: that the global growth is going to slow even more

296
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 14: than it has now looking at China and Europe. I

297
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 14: would say those are slow growing, if not negative growing places.

298
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 14: But I think too you have to understand this generative

299
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 14: AI stuff and AI in general, is something that a

300
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 14: lot of companies are going to be playing around with

301
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 14: and investing in to see if they can't get more

302
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 14: productivity out of their workers by using it. And that's

303
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 14: the key. Look for productive uses of AI, not just

304
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 14: cool uses of AI.

305
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 13: I mean, everybody mentions it now, that's the thing. And

306
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 13: it's so reminiscent of the dot com boom. I mean,

307
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 13: it does seem as though it's going to be the

308
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 13: panacea for the all the world's evils. The way it's

309
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 13: going right now, do you think people have just essentially

310
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 13: just gone a bit too far as they did in

311
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 13: the late nineteen nineties.

312
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 14: Absolutely, that is a great analogy. But look where we

313
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 14: are at the time. We thought ordering dog food online

314
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 14: was the miss thing on earth, and yet you know,

315
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 14: here we are ordering a whole lot of other dumb

316
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 14: stuff and depending on it for a lot of you know,

317
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 14: our daily needs. But it does work its way into

318
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 14: your life. It just doesn't play out the way you

319
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 14: think at the beginning of an investing cycle. And I

320
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 14: think that should be the lesson for us. All Let's

321
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 14: keep our eyes open and not just guess, oh, it's

322
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 14: in Nvidia, they're going to win. Let's sell everything out,

323
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 14: So give.

324
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: Us a theme that you can really bank on, and

325
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: maybe just talk about portfolio construction before we finish.

326
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 14: Well. I kind of like to not overweight or underweight

327
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 14: sectors because as we are finding out again this year,

328
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 14: oil's taking off and if you knew, if you look

329
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 14: at the beginning of the year, I don't think anybody

330
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 14: would have thought that, right. So I like maintaining the

331
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 14: sector weighting of whatever your benchmark is, but then trying

332
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 14: to find companies that are going to outperform their peers

333
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 14: within those sectors. So things that we like in tech,

334
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 14: since we're going to talk about tech are I know,

335
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 14: AI always has the need for a lot of storage

336
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 14: and fast computing power, and I think companies like AMD

337
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 14: and maybe even in TOW might have the ability to

338
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 14: scale up and at least get some of the crumbs

339
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 14: that fall off of Nvidia's table. But more importantly, there's

340
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 14: a lot of data needed for AI. So I like

341
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 14: anything that has to do with storing data, and that's

342
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 14: Micron and net app.

343
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,399
