Greg Paters of pGEM Fixed Income 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: saying investors a pang for default protection in the near term. 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: We went out the curve somewhat as our sneaking suspicion 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: is that it will continue year after year. The congressional 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 2: disruption in DC is not going away anytime soon. Tks. 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: This he the old normal, the new normal, what do 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: you want to call it. 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you picked this paragraph from his research. John, 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: This is the fixed income note I've seen in ten days, 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: maybe two weeks. Reg Peters at PGM right now on 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 1: where we are and where we're moving forward. Joining us, Greg, 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: It's a really complex thing. I think we need to 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: talk for an hour with you this morning, but I 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: want you to set up what the market reaction is 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: going to be if we get pgeum persistency and yield 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: or dare I say we go to a higher five 23 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: point six five point eight and then the dreaded six 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: percent yield? What happens when we get there? 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 3: Well, I think we're a long way to six percent. 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, we do think 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 3: yields are too low. If you look at the move 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: that we've seen, particularly in the front end around the 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: banking crisis of March, there was a really deep move lower, 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: and that doesn't make a lot of sense to us. 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: And so, you know, when we're looking at the curve, 32 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: we feel like it's miss priced. We feel like it's 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: already pricing in a recession. And then when you look 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: at risk reward, even if you do get a recession, 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: which is still you know, probable, of course, will you 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: be rewarded for it? And the question on the table 37 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: I think suggests, now. 38 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: Let's go pro here. There's a thing Greg called credit 39 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: default swaps. Brando talks about this all the time. You say, 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: there's a real efficacy to follow the CDs market for 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: mere mortals listening and watching explain the linkage of their 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: yield world with the CDs world. 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: Well, it just is a measure of credit risk of 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: the US sovereign, right, and so you know what we've 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: seen over the past couple months or so is that 46 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: that risk is elevated of course, right, So this debt 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: ceiling debate, let's call it, is creeping into the risk 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: of the market. You're seeing that in the CDs curves. 49 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: And so what you've seen is investors really pay up 50 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: for short data protection in the event of a default 51 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: or some type disruption. What we decided to do, and 52 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: to be clear, this is very much of a drop 53 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: in the ocean type of trade, but what we've decided 54 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: to do is actually not pay up for you know, 55 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 3: the couple months or even one year, because we do 56 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: think it's a persistent problem. So you know, we really 57 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: worry about I really worry about a PGM that you know, 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: this political debate around spending and using the depth ceiling 59 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: as a prop will be a common occurrence. And with that, 60 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: you know, we think it's good to have a little 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: protection on. 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: So Greg, can we go out further along the curve 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: away from the front end, Let's go all the way 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: to the back end. What's the thirty year doing up 65 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: in there four percent. 66 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, So the thirty year has different characteristics than the 67 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: intermediate part of the curve and definitely the front end 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: part of the curve. What you have in the back 69 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: end is this still do this very much, you know, 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: need for duration investors have to go out and hedge, 71 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: or you know, pension funds and LDI accounts have to 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: be out in the back of the curve. So there's 73 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: different characteristics there. So I think that the informational content 74 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: that comes out of the thirty year is a lot 75 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: less kind of worthy than the intermedia and the front end. 76 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 3: So for me, you know, I look at more at 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: the intermediate part of the curve and more in the 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: front end of the curve than I do the thirty year. 79 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it's important, but it's not nearly as important 80 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: from an informational content standpoint. Greg. 81 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 4: At a time when you do expect this turmoil to 82 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: continue in Washington, do you consider corporate debt of very 83 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 4: highly rated companies to essentially be more credit worthy right 84 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: now than the US government itself. 85 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 3: Oh, I think that's a tenuous argument. I've heard that argument. 86 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: That doesn't make a lot of sense to me that 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: crops up, you know, every several years or so. You know, 88 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: I really push back on that. So, you know, everything 89 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: feeds off US Treasury US rates, So if the risk 90 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: free gets repriced, everything gets repriced off of it. So, 91 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: you know, hiding out in high quality credit seems like 92 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: a fool's errand to me, and you're not going to 93 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: protect yourself in a way that you think you will 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: be protected. 95 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 4: Do you think that people who are going into credit 96 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 4: in particular risk of your credit right now are also 97 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 4: engaging in a fool's errand just simply because of the 98 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 4: risk that you're seeing down the line of perhaps some 99 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: of the defaults or there's at least the Washington turmoil continuing, 100 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 4: and this idea of some sort of recession getting priced 101 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 4: in to the curve. 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: Well, if you're definitely going down in quality and credit, 103 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: you are basically an essentially betting that there will be 104 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: no recession, there will be a soft landing. And so 105 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: I think that is also a kind of a difficult 106 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: case to make. So to me, there's much more value 107 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: being up in quality and not going deep down and 108 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 3: you know, deep recyclical type of company. So I don't know, 109 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: you know, being down in quality doesn't make a lot 110 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: of sense to me. I'm not sure you're getting paid 111 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 3: for it either. I think it's too early, very simple premise. 112 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: I have yet to see credit spreads tightened into a recession, 113 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 3: so if you have a high probability of a recession, 114 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: you're you know, leaning against that narrative. So I don't know. 115 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: To me, it's more of a high quality gain dispersion 116 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: is super high. 117 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: Though. 118 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: There are lots of relative value opportunities, and we see 119 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: a lot more value structure products as an example, than 120 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 3: we do corporate credit. 121 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: Greg, can we try and make this really simple? Just 122 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: to wrap things up, There were some headlines yesterday about 123 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: a security that come to market with a yield to 124 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: six percent and it has one of those at risk 125 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 2: maturities early next month, Greg, can you explain to people 126 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: what is the actual risk there? What is the risk 127 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: there with that security? Because ultimately, surely doesn't it get paid. 128 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: Well, hopefully it gets baide. This is the debate on 129 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: the table, Jonathan. But the question for an investor is like, 130 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: why would you actually target yourself for that particular maturity? 131 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: So you know, if you do the math around it, 132 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 3: you know it's a much higher yield divided by three 133 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: sixty five, you know, times ten days, is it really 134 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: worth the risk? So so it's somewhat of an anomalist 135 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 3: math equation. And so I wouldn't be so worried about 136 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: the six percent because that's not really what you're going 137 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: to earn. So, you know, from most investors' perspective, it's 138 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 3: just not worth targeting yourself and getting thrown into the 139 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 3: potential default pool. And hopefully that doesn't happen. 140 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: We all have that doesn't happen Face page and fixed income. 141 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, Greg, appreciate it. 142 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: No one better in New York City to do this 143 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: in Oliver Chen, senior equity research analyst at Cowen who's 144 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: just totally plugged into our aspirations as well. Mister Arnold 145 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: has done this forty five times at the MH. John 146 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: has mentioned this. John's really followed this story. He brings 147 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: his sons to an American icon, Tiffany, and is it 148 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: right to say they blew it up. 149 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been tremendous in terms of the innovation there, 150 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 5: and luxury is about magic and logic and bringing new, 151 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 5: younger customers to the table as well. Tiffany is an 152 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 5: iconic brand. The partnerships with Nike really elevating the assortment, 153 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 5: and this flagship is one of the best stores in 154 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 5: the world right now in terms of what they're doing 155 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 5: experiential retail art, this unique experience. LVMH is definitely one 156 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 5: of our top ideas. China is about twenty five percent 157 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 5: of revenue, so it's quite material and we're really watching 158 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: these near term changes. The mRNA will be important. 159 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: You've coined a phrase that I love. It's South Wealth 160 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: and if you know, you know, I could spot Brunello, 161 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: I can spot the MS orange poking out at your 162 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: pocket right now. And then there are brandings, the aspirational stuff, 163 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: the people who line up outside the Gucci stores and 164 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: they do the buy now, pay later, fifty dollars a month, 165 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 2: get whatever you want, get a hoodie. It's got a 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: big brand in front of it. Lisa and I were 167 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: talking about this before we came on air. We're trying 168 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: to work out has the latter started to crack? Have 169 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: you noticed that at all? Because we used to see 170 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: all these lines around these luxury stores, and when we 171 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: used to speak to people in the store, the consumer 172 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: was changing. They were moving away from dropping five thousand 173 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: dollars on a handbag and maybe that we're thinking about 174 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: it through a monthly payment. Has that started to fade 175 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 2: started to break in this country for sure? 176 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 5: John, You bring up a great point in terms of 177 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 5: aspirational more entry point luxury logos as well as sunglasses 178 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 5: and footweark be gateways to luxury, and that's been softer. 179 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 5: We've seen inventory levels that are too high at nor 180 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 5: Trum Sacks and Nemon Marcus for that reason. At the 181 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 5: same time, when you think about stealth, well, it's about materials, 182 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 5: it's about touch and feel, it's about looking great at 183 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 5: work too. That's been a trend that's been working too. 184 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 5: As the consumers become more cautious and we've seen many shocks. 185 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: How much are we really parsing through the key shaped 186 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 4: recovery that we used to talk about that we seem 187 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 4: to have forgotten. We're basically people with the most power 188 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: are spending it on luxury and able to do so 189 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 4: in bulk, and you're seeing the others kind of fall 190 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: off as the price increases really catch up. More broadly 191 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: in the economy. 192 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 5: We're definitely seeing a consumer discretionary recession in terms of 193 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 5: those products and that market as a whole facing negative trends. 194 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 5: We're also still seeing shifts where dollars are spent on 195 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 5: travel and services hotels. At the high high end, that 196 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 5: customer is very strong and robust, so we're still seeing 197 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 5: strength at the high end. It's more of that area 198 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 5: right below the high end, the aspirational, where there's lots 199 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 5: of pressure. At the high end, the wealthy consumer always 200 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 5: has money. It's more about sentiment and emotions too. Certainly, 201 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 5: some of the financial shocks have been disturbing in terms 202 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 5: of putting that customer on pause. Consumer confidence has been 203 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 5: volatile as a whole, so it's definitely something we're watching. 204 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 4: The overlay here of China and what's going on there. 205 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 4: Is there a sense based on the luxury players that 206 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 4: are more exposed to the Chinese consumer and less exposed 207 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 4: of where that trend is. Is it falling off? Are 208 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 4: people really seeing a shift there? 209 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 6: Well? 210 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 5: Structurally, long term, China is the biggest deal in luxury. 211 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 5: It's thirty percent plus of the market plus even more growth, 212 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 5: so great luxury retailers and Louis Vuitton's the largest market 213 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 5: cap company in Europe, so it spends about ten million 214 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 5: dollars on advertising and promotion, and Tiffany Renovation is well 215 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 5: over two hundred and fifty million dollars just here in 216 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 5: New York. China will be important for the long term, 217 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 5: but it'll be fairly volatile as we watch these issues unfold. 218 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 5: The name of the game in luxury is flagship stores 219 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 5: and stores that really make you forget about price. So 220 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 5: being there physically is important as well as a modern, upgraded, 221 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: you know, rethinking the metaverse, a digital experience that's connected 222 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 5: as well. 223 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: Our department stores then dead. If I'm at the corner 224 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: of fifty seventh and fifth Avenue and I'm looking from 225 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: Tiffany's waving over at Burg, Hi, what's the future of Bergdorf? 226 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 5: And you mentioned earlier, Oh, Burgdorf is very exciting. It's 227 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 5: right there too, in these magic corners. Bergdorf is an 228 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 5: iconic institution. Our recommendation is Macy's department stores are not dead, 229 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 5: but they're transforming very rapidly and really needing to offer service, 230 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 5: differentiated product. They really need to get the younger customer end, 231 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 5: and that's been a constant, interesting epic struggle. We're following 232 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 5: Coles this morning, the gross margins were better than expected. 233 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 5: Back to the basics for retail as well as inventory 234 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 5: management and supply chain. But I teach at Columbia, don't 235 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 5: forget it's about magic and logic and really bringing things 236 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 5: you didn't know existed that you wanted in retail too. 237 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: He's the only want to know on the sell side 238 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: that could conflate coals in Tiffany in one conversation. 239 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: In Macy's as well, quickly, what is it about Macy's 240 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: that you like? 241 00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 5: Inventory management? CFO really focused on an agile CEO, rethinking 242 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 5: the loyalty program using data. Artificial intelligence will play a 243 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 5: huge role in personalization the data sets as we think 244 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 5: about the future of retail, and Macy's has a loyal 245 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 5: customer too, needs a younger customer for sure. 246 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: We're not doing to giveaway a succession because Pharaoh's got 247 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: to watch season three and four top to bottom it happened. 248 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: What's a succession for our No at. 249 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 5: LVMH, Listen, the family is doing a really modern job 250 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 5: rethinking brands and captivating a younger customer, elevating brands. It's 251 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: a company that manages for the very long term. 252 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: Answer my question there's like three sons, two daughters, the 253 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: whole thing. What happens in season three of the LVMH. 254 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 5: Well, I think it's going to be intensity competition and 255 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: a real interesting battle for the best of the best, 256 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 5: and that's what happens. You really need this competitive spirit 257 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 5: to be culturally relevant. Retail is awesome, Luxury is awesome 258 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 5: because it's always changing. You've got to be in touch 259 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: with how music is moving, how TV is moving. 260 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: To be watching this. 261 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 2: I love this, Oliver.

Double breasted suit, Pete, I'm going to. 263 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 4: Just postulate that if he had a beating at the 264 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 4: White House, he would not be wearing shoes hybrids. I'm 265 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 4: just guessing that I won't. 266 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: I've got a word on the hybrids. 267 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 7: Kind of in the churches. 268 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 5: This is Brooks Brothers. So it's back to the basics, 269 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 5: rethinking and double breasted fashion is about all the new 270 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 5: and bringing traditional mix and matching.

It really depends 291 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 5: on the material. But I've done it a few times, 292 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 5: and sometimes you want to shrink it and sometimes you don't. 293 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: But most of the time it's shrink it. 294 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 5: He reinvented rethinking a real stature in the industry. 295 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I. 296 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: Think we don't outwait, Yeah, okay, good, thank you. 297 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: Two big stories here to talk to. Jim Lucier about 298 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: senior political analystic capital HEFA Partners barely describes the decades 299 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: of experience. We've got the theater in Florida, We've got 300 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: the theater in Washington. Jim, in your research to Know, 301 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: which I thought was a really calming note, you talk 302 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: about three subsets, the people that will bless this, the blessed, 303 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: the people that will say the deal is acceptable, and 304 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: I would suggest i'd add the furious as well. Who's 305 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: going to win out here in the next ten days 306 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: among the blessed, the acceptable, and the furious to move 307 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: on from his crisis? 308 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 7: I think the blessed and the acceptable are going to 309 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 7: outnumber the furious. If you look at the way these 310 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 7: negotiations proceeded, they've gone from hell, no, we're not budgeting 311 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 7: to what kind of freeze do you want to? Okay, 312 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 7: who's going to deliver the votes for this? So I 313 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 7: think that despite what you see on television about a standoff, 314 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 7: they're actually fairly close. 315 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: James, I've got to turn to what's going to take 316 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: place a little bit later on this afternoon, this talk 317 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: on Twitter for Gabnor Tsantis. What do you make of 318 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 2: this as a first step potentially towards a run for 319 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: the big role in the White House. 320 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's an unlikely match of personalities. The 321 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 7: thing about Ron DeSantis is he's not exactly the most 322 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 7: warm and fuzzy guy out there, even though he is 323 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 7: a terrific administrator and terrific governor, terrific giver of press conferences. 324 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 7: To have an unscripted moment with Elon Musk suggests that 325 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 7: either he's prepared to roll the dice and try something 326 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 7: very different, or else he just doesn't know what he's 327 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 7: in for. 328 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: Do you think the first steps are important or do 329 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: you think in a couple of months time will forget this. 330 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 7: I think that in a couple of months time, we'll 331 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 7: forget this. We have forgotten Elon Musk throwing the iron 332 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 7: ball through the the truck. We've already forgotten the stealth 333 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 7: video in which President Biden announced his re election campaign 334 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 7: early in the morning two or three weeks ago. I 335 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 7: don't think the announcement makes that big a deal, but 336 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 7: it is important as we go into Memorial Day that 337 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 7: we start that one year countdown to the presidential campaign 338 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 7: beginning in Earnest, which is really going to be next 339 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 7: Memorial Day. 340 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 4: How interesting is it to you, James, that Twitter, a 341 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 4: social media platform, is not so much tiptoeing, as in screaming, 342 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 4: running into the whole media kind of sphere in Elon 343 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: Musk hosting this conversation. I mean, what is the distinction 344 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 4: at this point between social media and media? And from 345 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 4: a regulator standpoint, does this muddy the waters? 346 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 7: Well, Elon Musk likes to say that Twitter is the 347 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 7: app for everything, and how do you better prove that 348 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 7: you're the app for everything than by entertaining Tucker Carlson. 349 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 7: So he's demonstrating you can do a lot of things 350 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 7: on Twitter. I think Elong has a great commercial incentive 351 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 7: to show that Twitter's a very vast, lot, very effective platform, 352 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 7: right up there with Amazon or Netflix. I'm not sure 353 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 7: the regulators know how to do this yet. The regulators 354 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 7: are fighting a retroactive war, I think, battling Bigness, trying 355 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 7: to fight Bigness by breaking up and turing large mergers. 356 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 7: But I think Elana is far ahead of them at 357 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 7: this point. 358 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: Well, and to that point, James, I mean to John's 359 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 4: point earlier, he was saying, some are speculating that Twitter 360 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 4: and Elon Musk is becoming the main competitor to Fox 361 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: and sort of this alternative conservative universe, especially if you 362 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 4: have Tucker Curlson launching his own Twitter space or Twitter platform, 363 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 4: and you also have a sort of initiation of Ronda 364 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 4: Santiss campaign, all on the same site. 365 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 7: Well, you've got no shortage of people who tried to 366 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 7: launch alternative platforms. For instance, there is Glenn Beck, Megan 367 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 7: Kelly has your podcast. I guess O'Riley is still out there. 368 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 7: What's happening though, is that as you see conservative media 369 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 7: moving into this new video platform with Twitter, the old forum, 370 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 7: the AM media, the AM radio that was the home 371 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 7: turf of Rush Limbaugh that is slowly dying off. So 372 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 7: in other words, the old forest is dying and the 373 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 7: forest animals are looking for a new environment. 374 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: Jim, you got such a study of history on this. 375 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to the legit World War two. 376 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Here Robert Dole of Kansas, he'd be one hundred by 377 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: here in July. Senator Dole ran for president, came out 378 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: of Kansas in the Midwest, and really never related with 379 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: the American public. Translate that over to the governor of Florida. 380 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: How does he come out of Florida where he won 381 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: big and translate over to a Republican and independent America. 382 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 7: Well, Bob Dole was a marvelously funny, warm and empathetic guy. 383 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 7: Everybody who knew him in person loved him. He was 384 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 7: famous for cracking jokes NonStop in the Senate cloak room. 385 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 7: He was famous after he retired for sending donuts to 386 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 7: the cloak room every day. You know, the memory of 387 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 7: Bob Dole is just incredible in that way. But he 388 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 7: did have I think a bit of awkwardness with large bodies. DeSantis, 389 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 7: though nobody's ever really said that DeSantis is warm and 390 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 7: fuzzy in that way. They're impressed with his smarts, they're 391 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 7: impressed with his ability to lead as a former military officer. 392 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 7: They're impressed with lots of things about him. But you 393 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 7: don't hear people talking about DeSantis inspiring the deep personal 394 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 7: loyalty among his constituents, among his base, among friends that 395 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 7: Bob Dole certainly did. I knew Bob Dole. My father 396 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 7: knew Bob Dole very well. 397 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: James wonderful to get a perspective on things, particularly that 398 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: in mind. James Lucy then of Capital Alpha Partners. 399 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: It's great about Liz Young. She writes his brutally direct notes. 400 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: This head of investment strategy it so far she loses 401 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: the ratio mumble jump and talks about the mood and 402 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: emotion that's out there. You're speaking of housing, Lis, but 403 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: I think just talking to Oliver Chen of Cowen about 404 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: the persistence of luxury, I'm going to steal a phrase 405 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: from you. We're in a milieu of bullet proof demand. 406 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: We just keep seeming to continue to prosper here amid 407 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: all the gloom. How do you see that? 408 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 8: Well, I think there's a difference between the demand that 409 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 8: we're still seeing from certain sets of consumers, and especially 410 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 8: in the housing market, in the face of rising mortgage 411 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 8: rates again, mortgage rates that are higher than they've been 412 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 8: in forty years, and there just continues to be this 413 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 8: appetite to spend. I think when you look at what's 414 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 8: happening signal wise, both in the economy and in many 415 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 8: parts of the market, this is pretty classic late cycle behavior. 416 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 8: The challenging part for many investors, myself included, is that 417 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 8: late cycle can last a very very long time. It 418 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 8: can last up to eighteen months, maybe even longer. So 419 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 8: we could continue to say it's clear that we're in 420 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 8: late cycle. At some point there's probably a contraction to 421 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 8: bring us back into early cycle that would soften that demand. 422 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 8: But could it be another six months perhaps? And I 423 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 8: think that's the frustrating part in the meantime to try 424 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 8: to make money in the market. 425 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: John brain Freeze surveillance correction. Liz Young is with us, 426 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: And I was thinking of the day I first heard 427 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: Liz Story the piano player, when she fell on the 428 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: scene of singers Songs, that this story Liz story, was 429 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: this storyline caacular? She's got spectacular voicings. 430 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: Was she as good on the piano? 431 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: Was Liz Young as Liz Young? Liz Young on piano 432 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: as a site to hold I'm so sorry. 433 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: Well, Liz, you said something I want to pick up 434 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: on this idea that late cycle can last a very 435 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 4: long time. How do you know when you're getting to 436 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: the end of a late cycle that can last for 437 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 4: eighteen months? 438 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 8: Well, it's o cult to know exactly what those signals are. 439 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 8: I think if we all knew exactly what it was 440 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 8: supposed to look like right before a recession came, we'd 441 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 8: not have all of this consternation about what's happening. One 442 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 8: of the things that I watch and I continue to 443 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 8: watch this every single day is the yield curve inversion. 444 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 8: Now we know that the inversion itself, especially at the 445 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 8: twos tens, is more of a signal pre recession or 446 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 8: a warning sign of, hey, there could be some bumps ahead. 447 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 8: We don't know when, we don't know how big. And 448 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 8: then you hear that old adage of the yield curve 449 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 8: has predicted nine of the last five recessions or something, 450 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 8: So it's not a fool proof indicator. But when that 451 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 8: inversion starts to re steepen, meaning the inversion becomes more shallow, 452 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 8: that tends to be the time when your ears should 453 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 8: perk up and you start to listen for indicators that 454 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 8: the FED may pause, the FED may have to cut, 455 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 8: And that's what we're looking at in the market right now. 456 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 8: The market still believes that the FED is going to 457 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 8: have to cut before the end of the year. The 458 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 8: FED holding steady and saying that absolutely not, we are 459 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 8: not talking about that yet. Also, their own projections of 460 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 8: inflation are still above target, both at a core and 461 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 8: a headline level by the end of this year, So 462 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 8: if things go the way that they expect, no cuts 463 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 8: on the horizon in twenty twenty three. The market is 464 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 8: sending a different signal saying, hey, we think that things 465 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 8: could weaken. It's possible that we see cuts. So when 466 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 8: you start to see those yield curbn versions get more shallow, 467 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 8: you start to see the expectation that the FED may 468 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 8: have to pivot, may have to change policy at some 469 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 8: point in the next twelve to eighteen months. That's usually 470 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 8: the time when you feel like the clock is really 471 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 8: ticking on, when we're going to find out whether or 472 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 8: not this recession actually occurs. 473 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 4: Given that the music is still playing, do you play? 474 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 4: Do you invest in stocks? I mean, are you basically 475 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 4: in the Sevita Supermanian camp and not on the Darryl 476 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: Kronk camp of saying cautious amid an n cycle that 477 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: could last for another year. 478 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 8: I'm cautious on the market, and I admit I did 479 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 8: not see this rally in tech stocks coming this year. 480 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 8: I mean, up twenty to twenty six percent, depending on 481 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 8: what part of the NASDAC you're looking at, is pretty astonishing. 482 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 8: But if you're a long term investor, and this constantly 483 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 8: is a theme that I think everybody should think about. 484 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 8: If you're a long term investor, you should be invested 485 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 8: in stocks on some level at all times, because there's 486 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 8: really no other place to generate capital growth in that way. However, 487 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 8: if you're a long term investor that doesn't have a 488 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 8: stomach for volatility in the short term, you do have 489 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 8: to position defensively in this environment, especially at a time 490 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 8: when we've got yields back up again. I know that 491 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 8: you talked about that earlier in the program. As yields 492 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 8: rise again in this environment, valuations really do matter, and 493 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 8: you're paying a lot for some of those names that 494 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 8: have done really well so far in twenty twenty three. 495 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 8: So if you're not somebody that has a ton of 496 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 8: stomach for short term volatility, and when I say short term, 497 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 8: I mean six months or less, then you have to 498 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 8: have defensive positions in the portfolio. But if you're a 499 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 8: long term investor, let's say beyond three to five years, 500 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 8: you do still have to have equities. 501 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Liz, thank you, Lis Young there are so fine. 502 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: You know we're going to dive right into this right 503 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: away because it's like a three hour conversation with Douglas Cast. 504 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: He's at Seabear's Partners moving money around in Florida, and 505 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: he's been very vocal. But Doug, I want to start 506 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: with what I saw at Oakhill where I used to 507 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: caddy with just stunning memories of my ute. I went 508 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: to dancing school there, Doug, with girls with white gloves on, 509 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: and you know, the whole thing from another time and place. 510 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: And there's a guy from California. You hit a seventy 511 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: five last week, Doug cast in my dreams, I could 512 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: hit a seventy five. You're not too far from Michael Block. 513 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you're really working at it. What do you 514 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: think of the miracle the PGA rot last weekend. 515 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 6: I think that for those that have no idea what 516 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 6: we're talking about, Michael Block was the PGA club pro 517 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 6: who had hold in one and finished tied for fifteenth 518 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 6: in the PGA Championship last week. And I think he's 519 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 6: the reason why we love sports. It's the unexpected which 520 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 6: excites us, like my seventy five year reference on Saturday, 521 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 6: or like Judges home run to tie the game last 522 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 6: night and Volpi's walk off and the recovery of the 523 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 6: Yankees in the last three weeks. It's why we root 524 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 6: for eight FC Richmond over West Ham Tom. 525 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Richmond's doing well this. 526 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 6: Year, Tedence. 527 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, Doug, they're in the bunkers, And when I 528 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: was at ol Kill, the bunkers didn't look like that. 529 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: It was like the Berlin wall in front of you 530 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: on the way to the green. And where does Michael 531 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: Block's hands fall apart because he's never faced a pressure. 532 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: Is it in the bunker, is it hitting the ball 533 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: the first time with the driver, or is it on 534 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: the putting green? 535 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 6: I don't know. It was the classic caddy Shack Cinderella's story. Yeah, 536 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 6: that's why we love the game. 537 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: Just woke up because you mention Caddyshack and she's like, Okay, 538 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: would you like to ask you a question that dodcasts 539 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: about the equity Barker, I would love. 540 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 9: To I finally recognize something. 541 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 6: Crey, Good morning, Hi. 542 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 9: Good morning, lovely to have you on. Let's talk about 543 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 9: this debt ceiling. What happens if we get say we 544 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 9: have vert a default. Do we get a relief rally 545 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 9: or is it just more glum and doom? 546 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 2: What happens next? 547 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 6: I think it's just a sideshow to the core problems 548 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 6: facing the markets. Creedy. Look, we all make mistakes in 549 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 6: this business, but one of the benefits of having experience 550 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 6: and managing money over the last year and a half 551 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 6: in particular, and having been around the block. Is the 552 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 6: quote Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. We have all been 553 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 6: here before. We were in nineteen ninety nine during the 554 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 6: dot com mania, we were in late two thousand and 555 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 6: seven in the home price mania, and again in twenty 556 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 6: twenty one in the arc disruptive stock mania. We are 557 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 6: there again in May twenty twenty three. Today it's a 558 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 6: speculation in AI and in as Mike Darda discussed really 559 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 6: well in the last segment, the negative market ramifications of 560 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 6: a top heavy market in which leadership is historically narrow, 561 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 6: which reminds us of nineteen seventy four when the nifty 562 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 6: to fifty blew up, leading to seven years of lean 563 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 6: returns for stocks. 564 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 9: So it sounds like the AI rally that you're seeing 565 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 9: not sustainable in your view, correct? 566 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 6: I think that the two circles we have the square crety, 567 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 6: are the soft landing and speculation in AI the markets 568 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 6: at nearly twenty times, it seems to be betting on 569 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 6: a soft landing, though in reality the market goes up 570 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 6: and down and oftentimes traders and investors simply chase an 571 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 6: eye the direction for no real reason other than they 572 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 6: are evaluated against the benchmark and care more about that 573 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 6: than they do in making money or preserving capital. I 574 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 6: think soft landings only tend to happen when the FED 575 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 6: has been proactive with monetary tightening. In this case, they've 576 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 6: been badly behind the curve and badly reactive, so forcing 577 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 6: a somewhat aggressive tightening cyclone the last fourteen months, especially 578 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 6: relative to the zero base we came from. So we 579 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 6: have sticky inflation mostly a functional labor costs. Soft landings 580 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 6: don't tend to take labor out of the system in 581 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 6: lower pressure on wages. Only hard landings do that. So 582 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 6: how do we get sticky inflation out of the system 583 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 6: without a hard landing that the market implicitly is betting against. 584 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 6: And then, secondly, of course, we have the hot sub 585 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 6: topic d Jore in which Tina has taken a new form. 586 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 6: It's in AI this time, but AI has been around 587 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 6: for years, and as I discussed in an article I 588 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 6: just wrote for Real Money pro the pathway to AI 589 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 6: adoption and profits is likely to be rockier than many expects. 590 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: And Critty this is so important mister cass is saying, 591 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: and I go to the railroad bottle. The railroads went 592 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: down in flames in the eighteen nineties for all sorts 593 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: of reasons, and then they finally got together the second 594 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: act around, Yeah saying you know we've seen this with 595 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: AI for years. 596 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 597 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 9: Well, Doug, I was just reading your column, actually, And 598 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 9: the case you make here is simply that the adoption 599 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 9: is going to take much longer than what the market 600 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 9: is pricing in. But what is the actual value to 601 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 9: a lot of these big tech companies sitting on piles 602 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 9: and piles of cash, record amounts of cash that are 603 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 9: all going into AI, Alphabet and Microsoft. 604 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 7: Et cetera. 605 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 9: So is it really fair to say that some of 606 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 9: these games are unjustified? 607 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 6: I think it is and creedy. I'm not a luddite, 608 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 6: you know. I was on with Tom and pol in 609 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 6: late twenty twenty twenty two when I was buying all 610 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 6: these stocks, I was buying them under four time sales. 611 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 6: And now with the stocks up dramatically, there's no longer 612 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 6: a value in my Yeah, Doug, with. 613 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: Time left here and I there's just so much to 614 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: talk about today. You have a Florida perspective like nobody. 615 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: I know the governor of your state tonight, I guess, 616 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: is going to launch a presidential campaign with Elon Musk. Now, 617 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, mister Musk, you've been very supportive. I believe 618 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: the space stuff and all that, and you know you're 619 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: hugely visible on Twitter. But this is your governor. What 620 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: are you going to listen for from governor to Santa 621 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: this afternoon today? 622 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 6: Well, let's begin by framing it. You're talking to a 623 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 6: former Native raider and a progressive liberal who believes in 624 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 6: pro choice and has a political view, and my political 625 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 6: view is antithetical. 626 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: To this same He won big in year Florida. Can 627 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: he extend that across the comfortable Republic. 628 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 6: I don't think he has a chance against Trump. I 629 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 6: don't think he's a likable character. I actually think he's 630 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 6: on the spectrum based upon my conversations with him, and 631 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 6: I don't think he's going to be competitive against Trump. 632 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 6: So I think it's an academic question. You know, I'm 633 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 6: much more concerned about the market. 634 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, let me bring this back to Kidder. 635 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: Peabody being pritty doesn't know this, but long ago, you're 636 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: meeting potatoes. I think a Mario Gabelli and auto parts 637 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: and industrial stuff cass on the high ground in banking, 638 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: I looked at Peck West today and they got a 639 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: thirteen month five point five zero percent cd dug out 640 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: of our ute. I mean, are you going to load 641 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: the boat on regional bankers in crisis? 642 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 6: No, you can't right now because of the aforementioned conversation 643 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 6: you had in a prior segment. It simply stated the 644 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 6: the cost of capital, the cost of funds are going 645 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 6: up dramatically. This combined with FDICS, extra assessments and other factors, 646 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 6: are going to a really way on the secular earnings 647 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 6: growth rate of the industry over the next two three years. 648 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 6: And unfortunately Sellside has not yet reduced their estimates. 649 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 2: Doug. 650 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 9: A final quick question or last minute here when it 651 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,439 Speaker 9: comes to the biggest concern after this debt saga, where 652 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 9: does China rate on your list the growth concerns that 653 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 9: we're seeing there. 654 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 6: China is, as as we all know, is the driver 655 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 6: of global economic growth, but that really is not my 656 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 6: primary concern visa visa speculation, I see, I'm not certain 657 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 6: of much, but one thing I'm certain about is that 658 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 6: the S and P is highly valued, especially against interest rates, 659 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 6: and our reasonable and much lower than consensus for Castler profits. 660 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 6: And I'll just briefly say that yesterday's closed, the Fed 661 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 6: funds rate was five to eight percent, the six month 662 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 6: Treasury yield was five point four percent, and that's roughly 663 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 6: three and a half times the SMP dividend yield of 664 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 6: one point sixty five percent. It costs seven point one 665 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 6: percent for a fixed rate mortgage, and the SMP basically 666 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 6: closed where it did fifteen months ago, when the Fed 667 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 6: funds rate was only eight basis points, the yield on 668 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 6: the sixth month note was one percent, or roughly two 669 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 6: thirds the SMP dividend yield, and the fixed rate mortgage 670 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 6: rate was around three percent, And the SMP is basically 671 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 6: the same price. And also fifteen months ago, the consensus 672 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 6: s and P estimate was two hundred and fifty two 673 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 6: dollars a share, and now it's most to two hundred 674 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 6: and fifteen dollars to share. 675 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: So I don't see any amount of time I wanted 676 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: to get to Garret Cole in the New York Out 677 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: of time, Dougcast, thank you so much.
