Speaker 1: This is a Bloomberg Business flag from Bloomberg World Handquarters.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Pelota. Another move law for US equities. We've

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: got thirteen minutes to go ahead of the clothes here.

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: Stocks are falling as heightened political and security risks rattle

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: emerging markets, adding to the anxiety surrounding the outlook for

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: US interest rates. The SMP five hundred indecks down now

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: fifteen points at one seventy one, a drop of seven

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: tenths of one percent. We've got the down Jones Industrial

12

Speaker 1: down two point nine percent, declining a barrel to forty

00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: six dollars. And see, I'm Charlie Pellett, and that's of

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business Flash. This is taking stuff with Dathlee Hayes

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: and Grim Box on Bloomberg Radio. Hi'm Alex Brinka and

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: for Kathleen Hayes today. Um, and now we are looking

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: for great investment opportunities. Here with a few from his

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: book of tricks is David Deet's founder, President and chief

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: investment Strategies at Point View Wealth Management, who helps oversee

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 1: about two hundred and fifty million dollars from Summit New Jersey. David,

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: where are you finding opportunities these days? Well, we're looking

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: at areas which are out of favor, have not performed well.

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: The evaluations look attractive, and really there's some reason for

29
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: a callus for better opportunities ahead. The first one I

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: would highlight is financial services. Um, there's no bubble there,

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: despite the other marketing industries near record highs. In fact,

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: this is the one group that has never really recovered.

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: And why are they being held back? The first one,

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: of course, the first reasons is the low interest rates

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: is keeping a lid on their pricing on their loans.

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: And certainly by two by Friday at this time, we'll

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: know a little bit more about perhaps the trajectory of

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: interest rates. Most people think industrates are going up eventually,

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: this may be a great opportunity to take positions in

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: financial services stocks, particularly banks, to take advantage of potentially

41
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: high strates going forward. Thanks, are we talking US firms? Yeah,

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: we're We're we're us focused here. Um, we think there's

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: playing opportunities on this side of the pond. One we

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: would site is Bank of America. Bank of America has

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: one of the best franchises in this country, with a

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: coast to coast network of banks uh in all fifty states. Um.

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: They cover the gamut from investment banking to retail banking

48
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: and loans and dealing with high net worth investors needs.

49
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: Yet this is a stock to selling it just two

50
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: thirds of tangible book values, suggesting is worth more dead

51
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: than alive. And we think ultimately, if people see a

52
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: path forward on interest rates, people will develop more interest

53
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: in Banks America Aside from fundamentals, Are there other catalysts

54
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: you are considering? What I mean? Morgan Stanley comes to

55
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: mind with value Act getting involved. There are there other

56
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: kind of potential upside catalysts that that play into your

57
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: investment decisions? Yeah? Absolutely, they got The banks got off

58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: to a bad start this year because of concerns of

59
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: the quality of their energy loans. But since we've seen

60
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: energy prices advance about eight from their Fabruary low, I

61
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: think some of the concerns there has dissipated. Second, of course,

62
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: banks have been your traditional source of dividends, but they've

63
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: been held back because of the need to get permission

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: from regulators and past these so called stressed us. Well,

65
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the summer, all US banks pass

66
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the stress staff, and their plans to return capital of

67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: the shareholders in the form of buy backs and dividends

68
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: were all validated by regulars. So I think you could

69
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: easily see a situation where the banks start to pay

70
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: back a lot more of their earnings, and that's going

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: to attract investor interests. David Deeds just comparing JP Morgan Chase,

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: for example, in Bank of America, the yield a dividend

73
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: yield on Bank of America under two percent, the yield

74
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: for JP Morgan Chasing a nearly three percent. Shares of

75
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: Bank of America down eight and a half percent this year.

76
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase basically unchanged. Why would you favor one

77
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: over the other. Well, because the book value on Bank

78
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: of Americas is two thirds of tangible book value, while

79
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: JP Morgan's is one point three. So I think there's

80
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot of room for ketchup. In Bank of America

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: the price the earning free issues. There's somewhat similar suggesting

82
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: that Bank America is paying out a much lower uh

83
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: percentage of their profits in the form of dividends. Again,

84
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: I can see ketchup. So here again investing the laggard

85
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: for a catchup and try and outperform in that manner.

86
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: Outside of financials wherelse are you looking? We like energy?

87
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah we do. I mean, you know, one of the

88
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: reasons people are fraught within decision now is you've got

89
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: the stock market indessees knocking on all time high levels.

90
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: But of course that's not the case in energy. Anyone

91
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: who needs to know why, Hey, in Arizona you can

92
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: buy gasoline at a dollar eighty one a gall at

93
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: the pump just a couple of years ago, where we're

94
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: about five dollars a gallon. So energy is the the

95
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: anti bubble um And of course economics one oh one.

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: So just here's what happens um second year in a

97
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: row of a downtrend in capital expenditures, the number of

98
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: drilling rigs has been flashed basically, UM people have been

99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: laid off left and right. The banks don't want to

100
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: lens the air anymore. So production and supply is propty.

101
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: So we think we're going to get in to a

102
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: situation now that energy prices about half what they were,

103
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: where that supply demand starts to stabilize and ultimately starts

104
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: to move up. And so we're looking for first class

105
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: energy companies to take advantage of that trend? Are we

106
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: talking old services companies, drillers, explorers? Where do you sign

107
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: the most opportunity? You know, I think across the board.

108
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: One company that we're highlighting here is Baker Hughes. Baker

109
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: Houston's at fifty two dollars to share. Now last year,

110
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: late last year, Haliburn took our run at it. Remember Halibern,

111
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: Baker Hughes, Slamberget, and Weatherford are the big four and

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,119
Speaker 1: oil services. So you had the number two and number

113
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: three wanting to get together um to form a much

114
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: bigger competitor to Slamberge. Haliburn offered seventy dollars to share

115
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: for this doctors now fifty two, so you know what

116
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: they thought was fair value. Unfortunately the deal did not

117
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: go through for anty trust concerns. If I think it

118
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: highlighted value, a lot of people who were in a

119
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: short term for that merger have left. And so if

120
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: you're an energy bowl as we are, longer term, we

121
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: think Baker Hughes is an attractive way to play the

122
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: improving investor cast flow into the energy space. When you

123
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: talk about Baker Hughes, the yield there at one point

124
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: three percent, would you consider buying one of the major

125
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: integrated oil companies like Royal Dutch shell shares they're paying

126
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 1: about seven and a half percent. Well, you know, we

127
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: we liked the sector overall. Again, companies like Royal Dutch

128
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Total VP they're also under pressure because they're non domestic.

129
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: People are very leery of European stocks. As a result,

130
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: you're getting better dividends. So I mean, the interesting thing

131
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: is you're getting under one percent for a ten year

132
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: English sovereign bond in Royal Dutch, headquartered in in uh

133
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: London is paying seven percent. What am I missing here?

134
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: That looks like an attractive area for a portion of

135
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: your money U S investors, But are there other opportunities

136
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: outside of domestic equities? That you are looking. Yeah. I

137
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: mean one area that we like is emerging markets. Of course,

138
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: you know Latin American stocks, TENNY stocks, they had just

139
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: went gang busters in the first decade of the century,

140
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: but over the last six years they have slowed down dramatically,

141
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: but the fundamentals are still intact. One is they've got

142
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: the younger demographics, so there's much better growth potential there. Um.

143
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: The second, of course, the valuations. We're struggling with some

144
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: of the highest valuations we've seen the last twenty years,

145
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: but the price earning multiples in the emerging markets is

146
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: about ten or eleven, so they're very attractively priced. Um.

147
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: The one area that we're particularly focused on is Latin America.

148
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Why is commodity based If we're right on our energy call,

149
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: and I think that goes to other commodities like copper

150
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: and iron ore devil buy some stability there right now.

151
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: Of course they're under the cloud because of political turmoil.

152
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: But what we're saying, for example, in Brazil they're impeaching

153
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: the president. Um. Those um, you know, non free market

154
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: forces are being pushed back a little bit, and so

155
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: we think the valuations are attractive in some of those

156
