Katie 5 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: stuck enjoins us. She is with fair lead where she 6 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: does technical analysis. Fair lead is very appropriate because right 7 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: now France and the coast trying to get the role 8 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: model London can't do it. So the Royal Navy's coming in. 9 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna try her to put her through Gibraltar and around, 10 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: take a long way around and on that Royal Navy 11 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: boat will be a fair lead. Right. What's a fair lead? 12 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: It keeps the lines on the boat from getting tangled. 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: And it seems, you know, Mark get timing is so important, 14 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: right and we want to keep a clearer perspective and 15 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: obviously have a fair lead as we approached the market. 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: Are the moving averages of the equity markets giving you 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: a fair lead right now? I think so, but probably 18 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: less so than last year. The moving averages are really 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: relevant in a trending tape, and I would argue that 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: this year is more likely less of a trending tape, 21 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: something that is characterized by more swings to the upside 22 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: and downside, and for that reason we'll be forced to 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: be a bit more short term in our focus. How 24 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: do you gauge what's been happening with the SMP five, say, 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: when we've had that sharp draw down, then this aggressive 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: snap back as well. Does that provide you with some nerves? 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: It does. In the corrective phase, which was very short lived, 28 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: of course, we saw a sentiment which was the biggest 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: risk to the market from a technical perspective, in my opinion, 30 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: go from extremely bullish, which is a contrarian negative, to 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: extremely bearished in the matter of days. Really, so that 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: swift decline in sentiment was indicative of a treatable low. 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: The SMP five hundred tests that it's two hundred day 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: moving average. Now, the snap back that we've seen is 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: not uncommon, obviously fast and furious in and of itself, 36 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: but now seems to be losing short term momentum, which 37 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: puts the market in store for possible retest, and by 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: retest I mean a return to support. Well casey, where 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: is that support? The two day moving average still for 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: the SMP five hundred can be considered initial support. It 41 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: may be a bit aggressive as a downside target for 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: this retest, and nevertheless, the long term up trend is 43 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: still very much intact. You've mentioned sentiment. How important is 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: sentiments still? And more importantly perhaps for our listeners, Katie, 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: how do you gauge west sentiment actually is? Well? I 46 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: think it's really paramount because it is a driving force 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: behind the markets, especially in markets that are so momentum 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: driven and really top down oriented, right, really paying attention 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: to the macro data. So I think it's very important. 50 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: The way I'd like to gauge it is using transactual measures. 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: So instead of adhering to the investor polls where they're 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: asking how do you feel about the marketplace, but rather 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: looking at how investors are positioning. You can do that 54 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: via the vix via to put call ratios. There's a 55 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: fear and greed index out there that we use quite 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: a bit. I don't follow volume, and I know you 57 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: pay attention to it. When Luisiamnta talks about distribution, that's 58 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: the back and fourth of what's going on right now? 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: What's the back and forth show? You? You know, the volumes. 60 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't give it a whole lot of weight either. 61 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: Um when I do pay attention is when volume spikes, 62 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: because that's indicative, isn't It really didn't write well. It 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: did spike into the tradea below, so that was important. 64 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: It was somewhat climactic, but it has certainly spiked higher 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: than that. It can be indicative of inflection points, but 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: volume as a whole has really lost its value in 67 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: my opinion as a an indicator trend, so distribution would 68 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: be a little bit less relevant as it pertains to volume. 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: Katie Stockton, thank you so much with Fairley, and she 70 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: will return for a longer bit. But news news overcomes 71 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: all those morning Katie stocked and thank you so much. 72 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: Constructive view on the markets wrapped around the standard reports. 73 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: Much to talk about today, but we're gonna digress here 74 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: right now, and really important issues for all Americans. Out 75 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: of the various California pension plans right now. Chris Allman 76 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: joins us, and he is not with Kelpers p. He 77 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: is with Kelsters. S Good morning, sir. What is the 78 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: difference between Kelsters and Kelpers In a nutshell, we cover 79 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: the teachers, they cover state employees and municipal employees city 80 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: towns in that I've read in the last couple of 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: days of real chick oallenges within not your shop, but 82 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: their shops over different accounting and their relationship with their clients, 83 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: who are towns and villages to begin with. Does Kelsters 84 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: have the same challenges that Kelpers has not to the 85 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: extent that they do, because it's all about liability management? 86 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: You know, I think when everybody talks about pension and 87 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: unfunded liabilities, they always focus on the investment side. But 88 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: the realities, you've got to pay attention to the liability 89 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: side and the contributions. They've got more municipalities that set 90 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: different benefit levels. In our case, it's one statewide benefit 91 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: to all the simpler shop. Your mathematics is simpler. That 92 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: is correct. There. There's a lot of people are saying 93 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: what's going on in California is a crucible for Illinois, 94 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: for Dallas and Frankly coast to coast the rest of America. 95 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: Are you guys simply ahead of a debate? It's gonna 96 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: be five or ten years down the road for the 97 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: rest of unfunded America. UM, I don't think I think 98 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: we're ahead of the debate. But I don't think that 99 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: were the crucible or the center. I think that you're 100 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: going to see other states and as you said, municipalities 101 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: where they didn't do a good job of managing the liabilities. 102 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: They didn't pay attention to the benefits, and most importantly, 103 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: they didn't consistently pay the mortgage. They skipped payments, they 104 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: had payment holiday the mortgage. For your readers or your listeners, 105 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: they understand they're not paying the actually real assumed interest 106 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: rate every year. There's a required rate that you've got 107 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: to pay in. You've got to contribute. The town has 108 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: to pay to kelpers, of the teachers have to pay 109 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: to kelsters. That is correct. Best example picture of four 110 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: oh one k If you don't invest in your four 111 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: oh one k oh for a couple of years when 112 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: you're twenty, a couple of years when you're thirty, of 113 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, you get to fifty and you're not gonna 114 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: have enough money because you didn't invest and contribute regularly 115 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: to the contributions. That are the focus and John that 116 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: defines about three quarters of America. It's a very very 117 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: important issue. But on the other side, something that you 118 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: you have to try and manage Chris, is the return assumptions? 119 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: What are the basic assumptions for returns now and how 120 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: they shifted over the last ten years. Yeah, they've come 121 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: down over the last ten years. There have been lots 122 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: of critics that they haven't come down enough. But remember, 123 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: we're trying to make a forecast for the next thirty years. 124 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: What's the reasonable rate of return that a diversified portfolio 125 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: could earn over the next thirty years. And don't just 126 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: look at today's environment where interest rates are. I think 127 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: about the innovation that's coming. Think about the growth of 128 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: the rest of the world, the emerging markets. So for us, yeah, 129 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: answer and simple number is seven percent. Warren Buffett would 130 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: say that's too high, but I would say if you 131 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: look at over thirty years, with a little bit of inflation, 132 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: I think we can achieve seven percent. We have in 133 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the past thirty years. We have turned eight percent in 134 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: the last thirty years. How difficult would it be to 135 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: actually capture those growth assumptions in public markets when so 136 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: many of these growth opportunities aren't going public, they're staying private. 137 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: And I'm talking obviously specifically about equities, and very much 138 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: more so about one specific text sector in technology. Do 139 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: you see that shift that more growth opportunities will remain 140 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: in private hands and they won't be available as a 141 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: public opportunity. I'd answer your question in two ways. If 142 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: you're a four oh one K four oh three B investor, 143 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for you to match our return 144 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: at seven percent because we can gain access to that 145 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: private capital market. We had met with the Jay Clayton 146 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: from SEC yesterday and one of his observations was that 147 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: there's only about forty one hundred publicly traded companies in 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: America today. When I started this business thirty years ago, 149 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: there were over seven thousand, So over half of the 150 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: company's basically have gone and stayed private or not going 151 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: public because there's a cost to it. That's a huge 152 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: investment opportunity we can take advantage of. And there's growth 153 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: in that private and it's growth in the private sector, 154 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: and it's actually a huge amount of investment opportunity there. 155 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: They can access all the capital they want. The stories 156 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: changed so much because they used to have to go 157 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: public to access the capital, and now PE is just 158 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: opening up funds of people throwing money at them. Do 159 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: we need to improve the opportunity set for retail to 160 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: get access to private markets, the opportunities that used to 161 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: be public and now remain private. Do we need to 162 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: open that up a little bit more? Chris Um. I 163 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: think that the private equity firms are always trying to 164 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: figure out how to do that. That's been on people's 165 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: mind of how do you daily value or how do 166 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: you take private equity and fitted into a four O 167 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: wind k option. I'm not really sure that they should 168 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: because that's a very sophisticated market, a lot of volatility. 169 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: You just use the expression that pe is throwing money 170 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: at companies. That's not a good environment. You don't want 171 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: to throw money at p A to do something that 172 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: all sitting on record cash piles. There's no question the 173 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: world is a wash with capital. Never in Tom Keene's 174 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: life have you seen this much money around the world 175 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: that's able for long term investment. Just think of the 176 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: sovereign wealth funds that are out there. There there ten 177 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: times are I go with that? But after the Napoleonic 178 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Wars it was a little richest. Well, that's true. Equity 179 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: markets have a multiple on them, that is, are you 180 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: able to go down assets size and go from comfortable 181 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: big caps down to mid cap and small cap or 182 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: do you have such a massive money just as it 183 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: worth buying mid caps and small caps. No, we are 184 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: diverside portfolio, Tom. We're into mid caps and indexes, yes, indexes, 185 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: and then direct active management. That's the one place we 186 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: think the markets a little bit less efficient, so we'll 187 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: use active managers despite the cost. But I think an opportunities, 188 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: particularly in emerging markets around the world, not even just 189 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: large cap and mid cap and emerging markets, we can 190 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: take advantage of that. So you were the French teacher 191 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: in San Jose, and she says, what did you do 192 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: last year? What? What's your What was your total return 193 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: last year to your your shareholders last year? Are total 194 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: return um was? I'm gonna say fourteen percent. Actually, I'm 195 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: still past two thousand seventeen, and i operate on a 196 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: fiscal year basis, so I'm really focused at June thirties 197 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: and and where do we perform. We're doing well. We're 198 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of hedge funds. You captured a lot 199 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: of the up SPX. Absolutely, because over half of my 200 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: portfolio has a beta exposure to the global equity markets. 201 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: So I'm in US and in non U S stocks, 202 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: and I'm going to move with those markets. But over 203 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: the long term, we think we're going to do quite well. 204 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: What's your R squared to SP something? How tight do 205 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: you manage the benchmark indexes within the equity portfolio? Very tight? 206 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: Our tracking error is actually pretty darn tight because we 207 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: don't use a lot of active management. We're seventy passive 208 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: in the USA, fifty percent passive in the non US market, 209 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: so very tight passive. That's fascinating. We have that big 210 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: conversation without Warren Buffett, and they beat against protege pond 211 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: as you saying that's the best way to position over 212 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: a period of time that could be multiple decades. We 213 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: think that if you're going to invest billions of dollars, 214 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: the most efficient and cost effective way to do it 215 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: is is to own the US market as one whole group, 216 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: as one basket of stock. Yeah, there aren't a lot 217 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: of Warren Buffets out there. It would be great if 218 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: we had quite a few options, but there's only one 219 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: oracle of Omaha. Chris. Final question, we have a limited time. 220 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you how much is that 221 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: equity position increased as a percentage of the overall investment portfolio. 222 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: Over the last couple of years, it's actually decreased interesting 223 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: profits well, as this equity market was hitting all time 224 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: new eyes US and non US, we were taking profits 225 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: away and diversifying into other areas. We want to take 226 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: it down below of the portfolio. Okay, well, thank you 227 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: so much, Craig, Chris Elman, excuse me, Chris Ellman, thank 228 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: you so much. With Kelster's this morning and now joining 229 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: us for all of us, the most important interview of 230 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: the day, without question, on your real estate, on John 231 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Farrell's real estate. Jonathan Miller joins us with Miller, Samuel John, 232 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: nobody keep statistics like you, Miami, New York and really nationwide. 233 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: What's the trend right now into John Pharaoh's spring season. Well, 234 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: we have two things happening. One, if you look at 235 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: the residential side, so far, very little change in attitude 236 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: from what was expected to be a pretty serious drag 237 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: on housing, uh regarding the tax reform. On the retail side, 238 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: we're delving further into the retail apocalypse, where we're having 239 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: a significant number of retail outlets running into trouble and 240 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: trying to renegotiate with landlords. UM, it's sort of a 241 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: an after effect of the financial crisis combined with massively 242 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: over building retail across the US. It's price adjusting for 243 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: the retail apocalypse. Is that happening quick enough? Oh no, Uh, 244 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: just like we we have talked about before in Bloomberg 245 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: with UH the development boom. UH, it takes UH landlords 246 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: or property owners two to three years to really adjust 247 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: to current market conditions. And we're just really something that 248 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: began two or three years ago. We're just starting to 249 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: see retailers or landlords begin to adjust and they need to. Okay, 250 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: the big complaint I get John Miller is Michael Dell 251 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: takes a place in a big, shining tower and everybody 252 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: goes mental. That's not the real world. And we say 253 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: good morning to Mr Dell, who's been very supportive of 254 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: our work, UM, John Miller. If you go down the 255 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: income food chain, the number one complaint I hear from 256 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: everybody are the income qualifications Given a high rents in 257 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: many cities around the nation, is that pressure still there? Oh? Yes, 258 00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: Credit conditions UH in multi family housing, UH, specifically residential 259 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: rental remained very high. That there's a strong risk aversion UH, 260 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: despite growing um uh need for the use of concession. 261 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: So for example, in New York, UH the at least 262 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: fifty of all rental activity has some form of landlord concession. 263 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: And when you talk about new development, all the product 264 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: that I'm built over the five or six years, it's 265 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: anywhere from have some form of concession. So what we're 266 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: seeing is an oversupply, whether we're talking about luxury residential 267 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: or we're talking about retail. And but the the issue, 268 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: John and Blueberg has an agreement, folks. I can't live 269 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: too close to John Ferrell because in case there was 270 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: an accident, we need to be apart. But but if 271 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: I was to move up by John Farrow, the fact 272 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: is where he lives is so fancy. There's nothing for rent. 273 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: Explain what you just said, John Miller for ten minutes, 274 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: and the fact is there's nothing for rent. How can 275 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: you have both worlds? Well, So what you have is 276 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: you have a massively polarized market. So most of the 277 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: supply that has come in on the residential side has 278 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: been skewed the luxury and so that essentially the remainder 279 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: of it. I want to say, if Tom King wants 280 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: to trade views out of the front window. We're not 281 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: going to talk about where we live. Um. Jonathan made 282 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: a question and serious question hap me out here and 283 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: in my app some of our listeners as well. The 284 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: landlord wants to put up my rent in the new renewal. 285 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm a captive audience. I'm a sitting tenant. Now, if 286 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: I go to another building, they're offering two months free 287 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: rent on fourteen month deals. It keeps happening again and again. 288 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: But when I'm a sitting tenant, they're just throwing a 289 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: rent increase at me. What's my best response? So the 290 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: best response is to act as if the market is softening, 291 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: um and if you you see a rent increase. Actually, 292 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: landlords are are really being much more uh flexible than 293 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: they have been because otherwise your option with all the 294 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: um all your other options are to to move. And 295 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: so we're seeing massive use of concessions uh to keep 296 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: you in there because it's it's less expensive to bringing 297 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: in and then bringing a new tenant. Does San Francisco 298 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: break like New York? Oh yeah, uh yeah, that market, 299 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: you know that market. It's it's odd because we always 300 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: think of New York is the most expensive in the country, 301 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: but that market is feeling much more pain and stress 302 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: on affordability, and they're having the same problem that there 303 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: just isn't supply, uh for as we would say, Mere mortals, 304 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: mortals to rent. Well, thank you, Jim Miller greatly appreciate 305 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: he's with the real estate agency Mere Mortals. We greatly 306 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: appreciate his attendance today. John Miller Folcus is with Miller, 307 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: Samuel and Douglas Eleman and does the best. He passes 308 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: John Burrow to Bureau and Borrow to Borrow and down 309 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: in Miami as well in Boston. It's amazing the narrowness 310 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: he gets. This is a joy. George Friedman is one 311 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: of our most astute analysts of the military dimension of 312 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: our international politics. Chapter five of the Next hundred Years 313 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 1: is China two thousand and twenty Paper Tiger. George Freedman 314 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: joins us now author and with of course, with geopolitical futures. George, 315 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: do you have to rip up the next hundred years? 316 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: And you have to rip up chapter five Paper Tiger? 317 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: After this momentous announcement of President g I don't think 318 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: I have to rip up anything. Uh. Look, the Chinese 319 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: have a fundamental interest in controlling the South China. See 320 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: in ten years of pursuing this that got nowhere. No 321 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: one is impressed. Not even the Filipinos h New York 322 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: Times is impressed. So you know, they can be as 323 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: loud and as aggressive as they want, but the fact 324 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: of the matter is they don't have force. How do 325 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: you respond to the comparisons of this historic announcement from 326 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: President g and I guess the Communist Party with what 327 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: we observe from Mr Putin today in Russia is lengthy 328 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: speech to uh an acclaimed room. Well, these are two 329 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: basically constrained military pours trying to posture on the world 330 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: strage as if they were much more powerful. Look, the 331 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: Russians claimed that they're spending only four of their GDP 332 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: on defense. If you take a look at all the 333 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: projects they've laid out, some of them extraordinarily advanced, they're 334 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: spent it way way more at a time when oil 335 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: prices are down. So if he is serious that he's 336 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: actually done this, he's repeating what so the Union got 337 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: crushed by star Wars competition. On the one side, low 338 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 1: oil prices. It is one thing to make a political speech, 339 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: it's another thing to believe it, and we have to 340 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: be very careful, Mr Friedman. During this speech, a President 341 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: Putin talked about two specific nuclear weapon delivery systems. I'm 342 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: wondering if you could offer your thoughts about whether they 343 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: are credible and what do you believe that indicates. Well, 344 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: the most important one he spoke about is that he 345 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: had a cruise missile back in travel at mock times 346 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: his speed of sound and deliver in nuclear weapon anywhere 347 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: in the world. The only question is, why do you 348 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: want a weapon like that to deliver nuclear weapons? You've 349 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: got I C B M. S um. They're not easy 350 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: to defend against. Noblan claims they can defend against it. 351 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: Why develop a weapon of this sort at this incredible 352 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: expense Because you've got to develop materials, fuels, other things 353 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: like that in order to do a nuclear attack, a 354 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: lot of other ways to do it. I think they're 355 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: working on it. I think a lot of countries, including 356 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: the United States, are working on this. But his claim 357 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: that they've got it, as like much of the speech 358 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: he made, it was great campaign rhetoric, it was a 359 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: good State of the Union message, but when you drill 360 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: down into it, he's claiming to be developing weapons he 361 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: doesn't even need in that context. The elections, as you indicate, 362 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: they are coming up, what in about seventeen days, will 363 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: there be any change after the election in the way 364 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: Russia is governed? Well, the Russians are really trapped, as 365 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: most nations are there, trapped by an economy that never 366 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: evolved that depends on the price of oil, and they 367 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: can't They can't control the price of oil, and it's 368 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: not going back to eight or hundred, at least not 369 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: in the near future. So they have got this problem 370 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: that limits what they can do. They also want to 371 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: appear for their own public and for the world as 372 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: if they were major global powers. They're not, but they 373 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: can make a speech that makes them sound really frightening, 374 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: and that's what we did. George, you're asconsed in the 375 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: People's Republic of Austin. The territory around you maybe ought 376 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: to be the most likable territory for President Trump. How 377 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: do you gauge the American public support of the president's 378 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: foreign policy and the budget announcements of a build up 379 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: of the military. How do you engage that? Well, I 380 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: haven't live outside of Austin, in the Red Country, and 381 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: the general view out here is they're not really interested 382 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: in foreign policy nearly as much. There's trade issues and 383 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: things like that, and they don't quite understand it. But 384 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: they want to military build up, right, they do. But 385 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a burning issue. I mean, 386 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: this is not something that they're really they're really caught 387 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: up on social issues. As to the people inside of Austin. 388 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: They hate anything he does if he does it. So 389 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: what you really have the social reality is you've got 390 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: two groups, none of them are particularly coherent in terms 391 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: of policy, but each have one basic belief that the 392 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: other group really is vile. And you try to figure 393 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: out what it is that each wants, it gets really 394 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: murky really fast. Okay, Well, let's sake something like the 395 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: F thirty five, of which I have almost zero knowledge. 396 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: The if we throw more money at the Pentagon, which 397 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: I believe is what we're gonna do. Does George Friedman 398 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: have a confidence we're gonna build the better F. Well, 399 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: you've caught me on a bad subject because I think 400 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: that thirty five are really bad idea. Well, that's how 401 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: we're talking to It's a wildly expensive plane, is extremely complicated, 402 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: and we can only afford to build a few. We're 403 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: building an air force where we can't afford to take losses. 404 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: So I mean you shoot them that thirty five you're 405 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: taken out the g d P of El Salvador. Uh, 406 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: this is there about a million a copy and that's 407 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: with the price cut, and that's not including the long 408 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: term maintenance and everything else that you have to build 409 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: into It is very hard to maintain. So the answer 410 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: is we need a national strategy that defines who were 411 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: likely to fight and then devised weapons that are likely 412 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: to do something about it. Where we really do need 413 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: the money is in developing the manpower that we need 414 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: in the army. This army has been fighting for sixteen years. 415 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: They are tired. Lot of the key people have retired. 416 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: I'll be personal. My daughter, who was a major, went 417 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: on three tours to Iraq. They totally you're going back 418 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: in nine months, and she threw in the towel that 419 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: army that we have, the personnel have been used up 420 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: and ground down. So where you need the money is 421 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: to build up the force. It's morale, it's training and 422 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: things like that. The hardware we're pretty good at, and 423 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: the hardware we need to develop can be developed out 424 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: of that money. But what we really need is an 425 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: army UH to fight with those forces with those weapons. 426 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: Mr Freedman. The book that I believe you're working on 427 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: is titled The New American Century. Can you offer people 428 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: maybe in about the thirty seconds the overall gist of 429 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: what you're trying to convey, Well, the gist of it 430 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: is every fifty years the United States goes into an 431 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: economic crisis. The last one was Ronald Reagan crisis, the 432 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: one he saws. The one before that was FDRs, And 433 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: going back into history to Andrew Jackson, this is the 434 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 1: way we work. We are now entering the closing phase 435 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: of the Reagan cycle, and we are seeing the beginnings 436 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: of the crazy politics like we had in in when 437 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: the assassinations are taking place, riots in Chicago and one. 438 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: So this is a normal process. This is how we 439 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: do things. And what appears to be the end of 440 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: the United States, well, it's simply the way we go 441 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: through it. And it's a huge sense of despair at 442 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: the end of an age. But the Reagan period is 443 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: drawing to in a hole and a new one is emerging. 444 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: George Freeman, thank you so much. Never done time use 445 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: with geopolitical futures. Terse perspective on our military doesn't link 446 00:26:53,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: ag into our political economics.
