WEBVTT - President & Founder at Yardeni Research Ed Yardeni Talks  Potential Market Breakdown

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news joining us.

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 2>In the last forty eight hours the Great Bullmarket Pinata Edward,

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you heard Denny joines of your Denny research. Have the

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 2>last forty eight hours been? Would I believe you just

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>shifted probabilities absolutely of your roaring thesis?

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 2>It been.

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I got to be a bit of a realist given

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 3>what is going on. Yeah, I'm still sticking with sixty

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 3>percent for what I call the Roaring twenty twenties. However,

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I had given twenty percent to a melt up because

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 3>things kind of had that potential. Still, it's not a

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 3>high probability, and twenty percent to melt down or a

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 3>ssshon kind of a bucket for everything that could go wrong. Well,

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 3>now I'm just five percent for a melt up that's

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 3>very unlikely, and thirty five percent for things going wrong,

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>which they are.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Amazon does thirty seven to forty two billion dollar bond offering.

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Damien tells me it's going to be six phone calls.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Heath Terry brilliant Overt City Group publishes and reaffirms AI

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>viability in revenue, in profit, in getting things done. With

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>all that, I agree with it. Kep x synthesize in

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>as you mentioned, spreads have an a move, the bond

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>market screaming stability. These other news items screen fold them

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>into your roaring twenties theme.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, we've we've done pretty well with a

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>thesis so far. We've got a few more years here

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 3>left in the decade. I think this will pass.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>You're short selling yourself, folks. It's the Denny and Kampoor

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>low of October a few years ago and in Ralph

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>and Comport, thank you nailed it. Continue, thank you very much.

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>So look, I think in the short term we clearly

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>have an issue with the strait of our moves. It's

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>hard to get optimistic here unless we see some tankers

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.119
<v Speaker 3>actually going through there without any incident. I know the

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 3>President sounds like he wants to declare victory here pretty shortly,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 3>but you know, I think Iran lost the war. They

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 3>just don't really know it and they're not acting like it.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 3>The problem with this country is that it's a terrorist

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 3>state with a terrorist organization that basically spreads terrorism around

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 3>the world, and they're professional terrorists, and so it's very

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.399
<v Speaker 3>hard to kind of beat them just by blessing them

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 3>with the bombs.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And back in December you correctly, I'm going to give

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>it at a softball here. He correctly called for an

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>underway position in the Max seven and the baskets now down

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>six point three percent year to date. I'm curious, do

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>you see further weakness in US tech stocs right here

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>right now? Or is this a buying opportunity.

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think it's becoming very bifurcated. The companies that

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 3>still have moats, the companies that you know are basically

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 3>competing in still fairly stable marketplaces, I think are fine.

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>The problem for the magnificence of it is that they

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 3>used to be kind of like the Game of Thrones.

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's like seven independent kingdoms that had motes

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 3>and didn't really bother each other. But ever since AI,

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 3>they're competing like mad and it's you know, it's a

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 3>AI arms race.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Already continue with that. Your Deney doctor, your Denny of

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>your Denny research, can't say enough about his research. It's

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>exceptionally value your Denny report that you get from him,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>literally on a daily basis. Damian Sas are in time

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>king with your Denny. We'll move forward here in a

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>bit too further discussion of what we saw in the

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of Defense's press conference here a bit ago, but

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>it is about the markets. Here's the summary for those

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>of you across this nation waking up the VICS was

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>thirty five. That is painful. We've come in dramatically to

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>a twenty four point five seven with redd and green

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>on the screen. But it decided lead better take today

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>than what we witnessed in the last forty eight hours.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>With the market opening, Alexis Christophers.

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 4>All right, thanks very much, Tom, and investors continuing to

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 4>try to assess how long this war with Iran will

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 4>go on and what its global impact will be, especially

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 4>on the oil market. So we have a mixed start

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 4>here to the morning. The S and P five hundred

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 4>down three points at sixty seven to ninety three, Dow

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Jones Industrial Average down about twenty five points, but the

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Nasdaq and the Green right now by about forty two points.

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 4>So Russell two thousand is down just fractionally. We've got

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Brent crude at ninety one forty four, the barrel down

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 4>seven and a half percent, WTI crewed down about to

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 4>seven percent now to eighty eighth four the barrel and

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.679
<v Speaker 4>the Bloomberg dollars Spot Index at eleven ninety seven eighty

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 4>four spot Gold by the way bouncing back up one

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 4>and a half percent at fifty two to fifteen the ounce,

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 4>and Amazon returning to the bond market, selling the debt

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 4>and as many as eleven tranches ranging from two to

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 4>fifty years. It's the latest in a series of jumbo

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 4>bond sales by hyperscalers as they gear up to invest

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 4>in what else but AI. That's your Bloomberg opening bell report,

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:13.919
<v Speaker 4>Tom and Damien.

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Alexis, thank you so much again, ready green in the

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>screen Nasdaq with a little bit of the bid twenty

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 2>four point twenty five in the thanks Ed. You're Denny

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>with us always associated with Professor Tobin at Yale, but

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 2>before that high above Cayuga's Waters at Cornell University as

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>our prosad is one of the great optimists of international economics.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 2>His new book out of Cornell is The Doom Loop

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 2>on the Economic Order. He even gets Game of Thrones

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>into the first chapters. Scott Serse, doing an economics you

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 2>more than anyone I know ed, pushes against the concept

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 2>of a doom loop. What do you say to the

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>people that feel the gloom, feel the doom.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, there are a fair amount of bears

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 3>out there, and a lot of people listen to the

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 3>perma bears, and that perma bears very often sound very logical.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>The problem is they don't provide a balance. And perma

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>bears will get you out at the top of the

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 3>stock market, they'll get you out in the middle, they'll

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 3>get you at the bottom at the bottom. You'll never

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 3>be in the stock market if you'd have a pessimistic attitude. Also,

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 3>politics sometimes gets in the way of clear and clear

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>headed investing. The market tends to go up as long

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 3>as earnings are going up, as long as the economy

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 3>is doing well, and that's been the case for a

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 3>long long time. So I have this view that corrections

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 3>and bear markets are buying opportunities rather than reasons to panic.

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you talk about the economy doing well in

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>all seriousness, does economic deity even matter at this point?

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look at last week's payrolls. I mean the

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 1>markets look straight through that for like three seconds, and

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>then tomorrow we're going to get a CPI print that,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>by definition, after the last week's events, is already stale.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>So you know, talk to us little bit about the

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>economic touch points that you're going to be most focused

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>on here.

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 3>Well, look, I think that the economy still matters, because

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 3>earning still matters. One of the I used to be

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 3>just an economist and also a strategist, and being a

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 3>strategist is a lot easier. All you got to do

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 3>is forecast pe time Z, and that's very easy to do.

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Getting it right, of course, is the challenge, but it's

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 3>still it's still those two variables, and the earnings outlook

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I think remains quite strong because I think the economy

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 3>will remain resilient. I mean, in twenty twenty two we

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 3>had an oil price shock and the economy made through

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 3>it just fine. I think the data that the stock

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>market is looking at is not just the employment numbers,

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 3>but they're looking at the productivity numbers. And that's really

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 3>the bullish story, is that the productivity is making a

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 3>huge comeback.

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, and we began our conversation Tom mentioning that you

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>had upped your probability from market meltdown from twenty to

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty five percent for the balance of this year. You know,

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>my question is this, you know, when I think meltdown,

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.239
<v Speaker 1>I think of something on the order of a systemic

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>liquidity shock. And this is a different sort of shock

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>than we witnessed, you know, in two thousand and another.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, kind of pre what funding and financing metrics

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>are you most focused on here? Like, what kind of

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>a liquidity shock do you think can happen?

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, clearly, when you look at history, you find that

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 3>more often than that it's a shock in the credit

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 3>system that causes problems for the stock market and get

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>a financial crisis because of FED tight and something blows

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 3>up and that becomes a credit crunch. It's credit crunch

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 3>is the cause of recessions this time around. I think

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 3>we have to recognize remember that the Fed's are awfully

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 3>good at playing whack a mole in the credit markets.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 3>You know, as soon as something blows up, they move

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 3>in pretty quickly. March twenty twenty three, we had a

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 3>banking crisis. There's only three banks that it was solved

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 3>over the weekend.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I get fifteen ways to go here, But let

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 2>me just go to the experience I mentioned earlier, this

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>modest drawdown we had in nineteen eighty seven. In my memory,

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't have in front of me, folks is what

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>a rebound from October twenty seventh to the end of

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the year December of nineteen eighty seven. I remember the

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 2>sweat in August of nineteen ninety eight, and off we

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>went to the race to the range of nine. What's

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>different now in tech versus the collapse of March of

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and one earnings.

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 3>We had a lot of dot coms back then that

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 3>weren't making any money. We had a lot of telecom

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 3>companies that were solar financing, so they're kind of creating

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 3>their own magic. Until these companies, these mag seven started

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 3>to kind of finance each other, we didn't really have

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 3>that issue. But they're huge cast generators. I think their

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 3>expenditures are going to prove to be very profitable, so

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm not particularly worried about the earning side of the

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 3>text story.

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 2>It's part of the show this morning commercial Free the

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>conversation too Important at your Donna das FENDERI coming on

<v Speaker 2>Alexis Christopherus and Michael Barr across this nation on YouTube.

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 2>What a couple of days on YouTube. Thank you so

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>much for this new digital distribution I can't say enough

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>about it. Subscribe at Bloomberg Podcasts for all that we

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 2>do here in the New York Morning, Damien Sasaur with

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Ed your Denny so Ed.

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>We talk about the Roaring twenties theme. We talk about,

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, the potential for market mail down and market

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.719
<v Speaker 1>melt up. Talk to me about your stagflationary nineteen seventies

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>reduce theme, redo, reducts, redux, reducs.

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 2>If you're an em it's reduced. We call that redus.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean the stagflationary. You know, you know

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that that word's coming back. So talk to us a

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit about what you're seeing there.

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there is a certain amount of deja voo all

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 3>over again. You know, every time we've had oil shocks

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 3>in the past, we've typically gotten a recessions and bear markets.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 3>The one near term exception was what happened in twenty

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 3>twenty two. We got a bear market, but we didn't

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 3>get a recession. I don't think we're going to get

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.319
<v Speaker 3>a recession this time. The recessionary expectations have gone up,

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>but the US is much less energy intensive and oh,

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 3>by the way, we're an exporter, yeah, of oil and gas,

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 3>which is a huge difference for what happened in the

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 3>nineteen seventies. On the other hands, shutting the Strait of

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Hermus is a radically different historical development just hasn't happened before,

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 3>and so my short term caution bearishness is totally predicated

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 3>in this geopolitical development. I want to see some tankers

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 3>get through the strait without getting shot at.

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean you just mentioned that, and that's where I

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>was going to go. I mean, golf traffic is basically

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>all for not right. I mean, there's nothing going through.

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we just saw last week US Treasury

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Secretary and a Scott Best and basically slamming you know,

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>GP Morgan for putting out research about maritime insurance and

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature. You know, how focused are you

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>on some of those alternative data sets, you know, kind

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 1>of trying to gauge out, you know, whether or not shipping.

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, companies even want to you know, pass through

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the street of removes now and back.

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, who knows, it's funny you asked that. One

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 3>of the reasons I'm I'm very positive on AI is

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 3>because we're using it all the time and we've become

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 3>real fans of Claude, and so Claude is uh is

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 3>in our staff now and that we're we're toying around.

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 3>We're just asking Claude to follow the shipping lanes in

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 3>the Strait and there there's actually data. So but we

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 3>only started doing it yesterday. So the other thing is

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 3>there's there. I also want to see the data on drones.

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's it's it's fine for the president, you know,

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 3>to declare that we're almost there, almost mission accomplished, but uh,

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 3>that's not that's not going to be the case unless

0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 3>the drones stopped flying into uh the neighbor, into the Straits,

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 3>into you know, aiming at our ships.

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.959
<v Speaker 2>In Andy March thirty one, I believe it's another end

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>of the quarter if we can get there, and then

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>into April and JP Morgan reporting and off we go

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to the Q one earning season. What does end your

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Denny see with a broader sense of use of cash?

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, right now, the earning story has been

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 3>phenomenally strong, and that's really what's been driving the market.

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 3>The evaluation multiple you know, got up to about twenty two.

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 3>It's come down because of this pullback so far, which

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 3>is it's not a correction yet, but I think it

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 3>has that.

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Why I got this is too important? Since when are

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 2>we hysterical about your Denny pullback that, as you state,

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>is not a correction as we learned it in school.

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, a pullback is a drop that isn't

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 3>a correction. A correction is ten to twenty percent decline.

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 3>A bear market is more than twenty percent. I happen

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 3>to think that there is a thirty five percent the

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 3>probability of things going badly, and that would lead to

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 3>a correction of ten to fifteen percent. I'm actually amazed

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 3>by the resilience of the of the not just the economy,

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 3>but the stock market. The stock market wants to believe

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 3>that all will be well, very very shortly. We saw

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 3>this amazing reversal also in the price of oil, as

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 3>though you know, what, were we thinking there's plenty of

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 3>oil out there. Well, there's plenty of oil out there.

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 3>We just got to get get to.

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 2>It quick, one quick one.

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean ed what you sound It sounds like

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about just cleaner positions, right, And I mean,

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>if this is really what this amounts to, where you

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>basically are giving a lot of you know, risky investors

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to kind of you know, pair back to

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>positions and clean them, so to speak. Does that mean

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>we might look for another leg higher into the you know,

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>second half of this year. And can we really even

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>see that?

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, I haven't given up on seventy seven hundred by

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 3>the end of the year. I can so yeah, I'm

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm arguing that it's not necessarily going to be a

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 3>few more days of the war, but it could be

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 3>a few more weeks, and that again, I have this

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 3>tendency to look at soopica's buying opportunities rather than reasons

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 3>to panic.

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for coming in.

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 3>My pleasure always.
