Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, single, best idea and
Speaker 1: thank you for listening. We try to keep this short
Speaker 1: six minutes Longer podcast twenty minutes, Good Girls, Girls Podcast,
Speaker 1: The Big Take, it's like three hours long. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful produced twenty minutes and David Gurra there
Speaker 1: with this important discussion of his conversation with Janet Yellen
Speaker 1: over the weekend in Texas. We do a shorter thing
Speaker 1: you can slip in among your other podcasts listening. We
Speaker 1: try to find it's always difficult any given three hours
Speaker 1: of Bloomberg Surveillance on YouTube, Apple car Play, Android Auto
Speaker 1: on our terrestrial radio, Good Morning Boston ninety two nine FM,
Speaker 1: Washington ninety nine one FM. It's just all the different
Speaker 1: we're on Bloomberg originals. I didn't know this until the
Speaker 1: other day, all the distribution opportunities. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: good conversations. One of them today was William Speed. You
Speaker 1: probably don't know the name. Bill Smead is iconic out
Speaker 1: of Washington State, Seattle, now in Phoenix, and when you
Speaker 1: look it is three year and five year track record
Speaker 1: of investing, it gives pause. He's a value investor. He
Speaker 1: buys straw hats in winter. As mister Baruch said, in
Speaker 1: the last year, he's been buried. But he struggled with
Speaker 1: growthiness because he doesn't own Apple, he doesn't own Nvidia.
Speaker 1: He owns stuff out of favor. Bill smeaed on patience
Speaker 1: in investing.
Speaker 2: We were arguing that interest rates would normalize at some
Speaker 2: point in time, and people would say, Bill, when's that
Speaker 2: going to happen? And I'd say, well, you can't hold
Speaker 2: your breath till then. Well, the same thing happens on
Speaker 2: the euphoric side in common stocks. It might be six months,
Speaker 2: it might be a year, but when it hits it's
Speaker 2: so quick. I mean, remember how fast the Fed raised rates.
Speaker 2: They went from a quarter to five and a quarter
Speaker 2: in a year. It was the biggest interest rate increase
Speaker 2: in a year. And if you weren't ready for it,
Speaker 2: you know, you got caught by it. Well, the same
Speaker 2: thing will happen in the equity market. In other words,
Speaker 2: Buffett used to talk about it being like Cinderella at
Speaker 2: the ball. You've been told that at midnight the clock
Speaker 2: of strategy.
Speaker 1: Well, Bill Smeede with us, there a smed capital in
Speaker 1: Phoenix value investor very much in energy stocks right now.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, someone dereks the door. I
Speaker 1: think a Betsy Stevens said at ann Arbor, who absolutely
Speaker 1: owns the thinking carefully about the economics and finance and
Speaker 1: policy of divorce. Betsy's last conversation with us was absolutely
Speaker 1: riveting about childcare. Someone else that owns a high ground
Speaker 1: here is Jennifer Lawless. She's at the University of Virginia,
Speaker 1: and she's made an absolute cottage industry out of studying
Speaker 1: women in American politics. And you know, you ask her
Speaker 1: the usual question why we had a female president like
Speaker 1: in other countries, sort of just understood and her core theme,
Speaker 1: this is really important. Her core theme is the ambition
Speaker 1: to get into politics to begin with. She's focused much
Speaker 1: more not a way I should say, she's focused much
Speaker 1: more away from presidential decision making and much more to
Speaker 1: state and local community politics. Jennifer Lawless, University of Virginia.
Speaker 3: The real answer is that there just haven't been enough
Speaker 3: female candidates to do it. So, first of all, it
Speaker 3: is important to remember that Hillary Clinton received more popular
Speaker 3: votes than Donald Trump did, so it's not that Americans
Speaker 3: aren't willing to vote for a woman. Now, obviously we
Speaker 3: left our president through the electoral college, so winning the
Speaker 3: popular vote didn't, but public opinion was on her side.
Speaker 3: But that's really been the only opportunity that the American
Speaker 3: people have had until heading into election day this year
Speaker 3: to cast a ballot for a female president. When it
Speaker 3: comes to Congress, when it comes to state legislatures, gubernatorial elections,
Speaker 3: women do just as well as men. The key is
Speaker 3: that they need to run in the first place.
Speaker 1: Course of debate tonight, Balance of Power, Joe Matthew, Katie Lyones,
Speaker 1: David Girl are really focused on Philadelphia. You'll see that
Speaker 1: over the next twenty four or even forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: Is well, we're out on ample CarPlay and Android auto
Speaker 1: and YouTube. The best thing you can do for me
Speaker 1: subscribe to Bloomberg podcasts out on YouTube and just as
Speaker 1: in aside, I can't say enough about YouTube premium. You
Speaker 1: have to pay for that, I pay for it, but
Speaker 1: YouTube premium is really clean and simple as well on
Speaker 1: ample podcasts. This is single best idea I know many
Speaker 1: of us
