1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News, Single Best Idea. Thank

2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: you for the response. Really humbled. It's it's just amazing.

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: I thought it would take months and months and months

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: to chart, and we actually are charting within the podcast world.

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: And I really don't understand the new podcast world. You know,

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is no threat for me. I'm just not

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: going to do it. Joe Rogan on you. But the

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I was humbled by the charting that we see. We're

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: under business and business news at Apple Podcast. We're working

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: our way forward. Where'd you get Eric? Where'd you get

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: the photo of me on the chick lit? Was that

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: the police lineup in nineteen seventy three? Something like that. Anyways,

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: we're having fun with Single Best Idea.

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: What is it?

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: It's two ideas from a three hour show. I do

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: some chit chat on it. It's six or seven minutes

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: to add to your busy Apple podcast day. Charlie Klow

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: is a legend. We'll talk about that in a moment,

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: but we had another legend in today. Chris Whalen. I'm

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: going to say a decade ago, twelve years ago, wrote

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: a single volume called Inflated, and it was a curative

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: Force Financial history of the United States of America. He's

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: in heavy rewrite on it right now. This fall we

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: will see a new inflated from Chris Whalen. It'll be

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: immediate required read by Global at Wall Street. And he's

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: been on fire, you know him out on Twitter with

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: all he's doing, and he's been absolute on fire on

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: banking safety, on commercial real estate in the rest. Here

29
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: is Christopher Whalen of Whalen Global. Here he is. And

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: you gotta buy the biggest best stocks.

31
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: The way I look at banks. You know, we published

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: some bank indices earlier this year and we weighted quality

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: versus size. Now you can't ignore size. But my attitude

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: is if you want to be safe with banks, you

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: want to own the top twenty five out of the

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: top one hundred. So that's a pretty harsh cut. But

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: whether you care about income or alpha, you want to

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: know where the good ones are. And so for example,

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: we just wrote a piece about Banko's George Gleeson. Well,

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: George is a little bank, but he produces a lot

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: of construction and development loans. People make the mistake of

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: thinking he's in commercial real estate lending. He's not. He

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: lends in the beginning of the life cycle of the asset.

44
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: Then he gets out very smart.

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: Chris Waylan there Damien Sas are helping out here on

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: a Friday. We try to get Katie greifeld in, but

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: she was it was something at the horse, you know,

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the horse or whatever. And Paul Sweeney's

49
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: got the Gulf Stream. So we had Damiens Sasa and

50
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: of course the markets are really on the move. We

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: had a huge jump condition on the geopolitics. Brent Crude

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: out the ninety two A print of ninety two Dxyzer

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: one oh six show Stronger resilient US dollars, something that

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: mister Whalan spoke about, and it synthesizes what invented or

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: how we invented Bloomberg surveillance. So how do we do that?

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: We did it off the legends. Trust me, folks, you

57
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: know I was borrowing stealing from everybody every day. Ed

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: Hyman at c J Lawrence, Eddie Yar, Denny as well

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: at CJ Lawrence, a guy named Farrell at Mary Lynch

60
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: with a young Turk, David Rosenberg and Richard Bernstein at

61
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Merrill Lynch. So you say, well, that's all great, but

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: where was this invented? Charles Klow is giant, and right

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: now it's like we really want to hear from Charlie Klow.

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: He wants to be in the market, he wants to

65
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: participate with a new productivity of the American experiment. But

66
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: more than anything, it's Charlie Klow saying, try to remove

67
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: yourself from the strategy babble and get back to first principles.

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: Here's Charles Clow on productivity.

69
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: I think there's two things that really prop up equities

70
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: as we look through the rest of the decade, and

71
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: of course I'm looking beyond this. One is productivity. Productivity

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: is clearly driving profits and disinflation, which has been going

73
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: on for forty years. It was interrupted a bit by

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: the COVID response and the liquidity that was thrown into

75
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: the economy from that standpoint, but I think when you

76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: look at how things looked longer term, remember interest rates

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: and inflation came down for forty years and then of

78
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: course COVID interrupted. So the question is what were the

79
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: reasons they came down and are those reasons still good?

80
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: And I think the reasons are largely demographics. What balance

81
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: chefs look like in the private sector, which are still

82
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: pretty large and heavily liability oriented, and thirdly productivity those

83
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: are still there, so we think that disinflation and interest

84
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: rates continues.

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: Charles Klow Forever of Boston and Colonial g Charles Klow

86
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: always with Meryll Lynch. I want to point out two

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: different kinds of interview contrasts on Bloomberg surveillance this week.

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: The first one is at Gina Martin Adams of Bloomberg Intelligence.

89
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: She was on fire yesterday using fundamental and technical analysis

90
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: to say she's really not sure about the banks. And

91
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: we saw JP Morgan trade off here over two standard

92
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: deviations this morning. And at the same time you've got

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: someone like Chris Whalen saying we're really not sure about

94
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the banks, coming from a totally different world. And I

95
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: think this is really important to listen to different kinds

96
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: of guests and whether they come to the same conclusion.

97
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: And the other way to look at this, as we

98
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: saw yesterday on single best idea, is Dennis Gartman and

99
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Ian Lingen coming to a completely opposite conclusion of where

100
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: the ten year yield will go and what rates will do,

101
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: and of course what the thirty year mortgage will do.

102
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: Gartman's looking for some persistency of higher rates if in

103
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: need a breakthroughout to some new regime of higher rates,

104
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: and Ian Lingoln's got the call of the year if

105
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: it happens out. He looks for the ten year yield

106
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: to drive under four percent. It's been a wonderful week

107
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: thanks to the surveillance team, and all I can say

108
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: is single best idea look for us on Apple car

109
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: play on YouTube under Bloomberg Podcasts, and single best idea

110
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: always on Apple Podcasts.
