7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: let's turn our attention to Jason Shanker. He is the

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: president and the founder of Prestige Economics. He's also a

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: Bloomberg prophet. He's based in Austin, Texas, currently at the

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: Atlanta FEDS Financial Markets Conference in Emilia Island, and you

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: can follow Jason on Twitter at Prestige e con. Uh. Jason,

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: where you caught on the back foot by the rise

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: in oil prices? No, we've had an expectation that we

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: would see oil prices rise through the driving season. You know,

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: the unemployment rate we saw it in Friday's report, you know,

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: the lowest we've seen since December two thousand. Strong labor

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: market means we're going to see very strong driving demand

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: that summer. Uh. The OPEC risks on top the Iranian

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: risks of sanctions on top. That just adds fuel to

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: a fire that we already expected would be burning. Because

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: the U s summer driving season is one of the

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: biggest factors for oil prices during the year seasonally. So

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: I want to get a sense of how much is

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: being baked in about the US withdrawing from the Iran packed.

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: If the US does go ahead and withdraw from the

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: nuclear agreement, do you think the oil prices could rise

27
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: much more from here? Well, I think they could. I

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: don't think it's priced in at all. Um. You know,

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: the technicals and fundamentals that we've seen in the market.

30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: You know, we're but we watched the thirty day on

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: the hundred day moving averages. We've been above those now

32
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Um. We're above other critical supports,

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: these facts as were already supportive of prices. And you know,

34
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: while we're seeing a little bit more upside today, and

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see quite a bit more

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: moving forward. If we pull out of those that agreement

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: with a run, you know, we could see five dollars,

38
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: ten dollars, You could see a spike even higher than that.

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: I don't think it'd be sustained. And I think once

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: we get past the driving season, I think there's downside

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: risks from higher interest rates, and if the trade UH

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: factors remain in play, then there's still going to be

43
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: downstairs there. But we see the sort of bifurcated dynamic

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: of upside through the driving season. This produces more upside,

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: but then in the fall more downside. Jason, how much

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: is this increase in prices really tied to, let's say,

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the back and forth between the strength of the US dollar.

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Not much. I think that really if we look, the

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: biggest fundamental driver for oil, like all commodities, is that

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: they're bought and not sold. The global economy has been

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: doing quite well, and despite what we've seen in industrial

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: medals for those have been a weaker again, those seasonal

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: dynamics for oil demand. Right now in the spring where

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: we're trading driving season contracts with binaries are ramping up production.

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: This is a time when you see oil prices rise

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: typically anyway, and now you've got a bit of a

57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: pressure cooker because these geopolitical risks. So I'm trying to

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: figure out right now. It seems like last year people

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: were saying oil is never gonna get above fifty dollars

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: in barrel, perhaps get to sixty dollars of barrel. Now

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: we're at seventy dollars of barrel. How much of this

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: is being driven by the fact that Saudi Arabia really

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: wants to hit that eighty dollars of barrel mark for

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: the Saudi aramco I p O possibly to happen next year. Yeah,

65
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: I've seen as eighty dollars thrown around. Whether that's there

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, their actual explicit target or not that their

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: explicit target was to push oil inventories to a five

68
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: year towards the five year average range. That's been the

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: goal of Opecanano PECK members. It's been clear. Something we've

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: talked to our clients about is that Saudi Arabia is

71
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: priori ties in balance sheet over income statement. Right, That's

72
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: what they're doing, will sacrifice selling your fewer barrels now

73
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: in order to increase the valuation of our business. That's

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: very clear. Um upside risk. We've been assessing the price

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: risk this summer. We would see in the sixty dollar

76
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: range with potential spikes to eighty. That's something we were

77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: talking to clients about in December as a risk for

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: the summer, so that definitely becomes a more material risk

79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: now with the geo political situation. That doesn't mean it

80
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: will be sustained because the trade risks, global growth and

81
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: interest rates will determine what happens once we get past

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: this summer. But for now, best job market. You know

83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: in eighteen years you're gonna see a lot of people

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: on the road and families driving down from Chicago to

85
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: Disneyland or the Disney World. Are the kinds of things

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: that you see driving whale prices in the summer and

87
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: driving a lot of other bills too. If you're going

88
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: to Disney World. Just saying I want to get I

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: want to I want to get a sense of what

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: you think of shale drillers and and the prospect of

91
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: them really ramping up production in response to the higher price,

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: meaning that they're basically going to offset some of the

93
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: demand with just more output. What do you think is

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: of that? Well, I think there's a couple of things

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: that you know you still have. On the one hand,

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: these folks they're looking at the curve, they know the

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: seasonalities of pricing, and if they're making the drilling decisions,

98
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: you know they're still going to have to understand and

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: they deal with those dynamics. So I think that you're

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: going to see more production, but you know, one bit

101
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: and twice shy, I think you're gonna see um still

102
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: some of this holding back. And I'd say that for

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: the funds that are out there to discussion, there's a

104
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: lot of money on the sidelines. There have been very

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: large funds that have been raised in the last couple

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: of years. I'm in Texas. I've been talking to a

107
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of these folks for the last year or so,

108
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and they they're still looking for distressed assets. I gotta

109
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: tell you, seventy bucks of barrel looking for sweetheart deals

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: with the stressed assets. If that's your mandate, that's going

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: to be a pretty tough, tough fine for you. Jason,

112
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: just quickly, what's the best way for investors to profit

113
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: from this rise in oil prices? Well, you know, I

114
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: think if folks want exposure, then they need to be

115
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: looking at companies that are producing oil. Um. They also

116
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: may want to be thinking about the the underlying commodity

117
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: as well that the price is likely to rise. Those

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: are probably the areas where you're going to see people plays.

119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: I want to thanks very much for joining us at

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Jason Schenker is the president and the founder of Prestige Economics.

Speaker 1: He's also a Bloomberg profit and you can follow Adjason

123
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: visit now in the world of real estate with Ken Wisenberg.

124
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: He is a partner in charge of the real estate

125

Speaker 1: in our eleven three oh studious Ken, thanks very much

127
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: for being with us. The news today, of course, is

128
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: black Stone agreeing to buy Grammarcy Property Trust. The price

129
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: tag is seven point six billion dollars. It's a fift

130
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: premium over the closing price on Friday. Why do you

131
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: think they're making this move to buy Grammarscy Property Trust.

132
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: If you look at the overall market for warehouse space UM,

133
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: it's in high demand because of the increase in online

134
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: sales and in the next day or same day delivery

135
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: requirements that people are expecting. And uh, this is a

136
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: good entry for black Stone into this marketplace paying a

137
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: premium over the current prices, and prices for this kind

138
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: of space have been up last year. The reat UM

139
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: warehouse reach space was up about six where the overall

140
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: read market was down about eight or nine and they

141
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: didn't get a big bump um it reads from the

142
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Trump tax cuts yet, so this seems to be a

143
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: very good spot for them to go into. Uh, the

144
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: spaces and high demand. It will continue to be in

145
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: high demand for the same day delivery. And also um

146
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: other industrial uses are on the rise. Companies are bringing

147
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: operations back into the United States because of the repatriation

148
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: tax cut, and you'll see a increase in industrial activity

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: in the United States in general and warehouse in particular,

150
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: so reads stating for real estate investment trusts. Just to

151
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: make that clear, last week, per Logus, the world's largest

152
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: warehouse owner, agreed to acquire DCT Industrial for nearly eight

153
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars. So you are seeing the

154
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: consolidation in this space. Can you just talk a little

155
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: bit about what the differences between a warehouse and a

156
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: big box store, because frankly, I hear about how warehouse

157
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: space is in a real great demand, and then you

158
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: hear about all these suffering malls and you think, well,

159
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean put two and two together, just make the

160
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: malls into warehouses and you've got your demand sated. Well,

161
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: warehouse space generally leases essentially less than retail space. When

162
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: you look as you know, retail space would it be

163
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: anywhere depending where it is. So on Fifth Avenue, retail

164
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: spaces four or five thousan dollars a square foot. In

165
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: the suburbs that might be you know, hundred dollars of foot,

166
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: but warehouse space in the suburbs is probably dollars a foot.

167
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: So it's a huge difference in the square footage. And

168
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: also if you look at the parking arrangements UM and

169
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: a big box store in the suburbs, there's a ton

170
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: of parking UM at a warehouse there isn't. It's basically

171
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: space for trucks UM. So if they do convert an

172
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: existing big box store UM into warehouse, they have a

173
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of extra land available to build additional warehouse space

174
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: on that property. It could be an interesting play well.

175
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: And then I guess there has to be some massive

176
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: realized loss if there is conversion of say a big

177
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: mall into a warehouse space just because of the smaller

178
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: price that they can charge. Right right, I don't see

179
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: a large mall being converted to warehouse a arge mall

180
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: UM to the extent that it's going to be good

181
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: doing a redevelopment, will have entertainment, residential and office space

182
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: added to it. Um. You might see a reduction in

183
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: the number of cars over the next ten years due

184
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: to self driving automobiles. People will not need to have

185
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: their own cars and going through the mall will be

186
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, tapping your phone and a car will appear

187
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: in your driveway. UM. So it's gonna be an interesting

188
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: um change over the next ten years in terms of technology. UM.

189
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the malls are going through a repositioning and

190
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,479
Speaker 1: reimagining today which is really interesting. It's it's an experiential

191
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: development in malls, um, which I love that word. Uh.

192
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: And and if if you go down like in Florida

193
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: is a really great example. So the Ball Harbor Mall

194
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: was the classy mall. All of the major stores were there,

195
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: and they're adding restaurants, adding pilates, class studios, palatine bike stores,

196
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: you know. So it's an experience to go there because

197
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: you're going to eat, you're going to exercise, you're going

198
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: to to the to the movies right there. Um. And

199
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: this good shopping and the you know, the best stores. Um.

200
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: And that's an experience as opposed to just I'm going

201
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: to the store to buy address or pair of pants,

202
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: which you can now do online much easier, public versus private.

203
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Better to be a private real estate company these days.

204
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: UM reads have not had UM huge uptick UM and

205
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm surprised at that the new tax cuts really favorite

206
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: reads UM and come from a read is subject to

207
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: business exclusion UM, so that you're paying the twenty rate

208
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: on read income UM general dividends or but the corporation

209
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: pays twenty one, so the effective right there is thirty

210
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: seven UM. So reads are really have a tax benefit

211
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: and that hasn't been factored into their pricing. Why do

212
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: you think that is, UM, I think it's complicated for

213
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: most people to understand. But you know, for analysts and stuff,

214
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: they're looking at it, and reads are valued based on

215
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: the dividend payout UM and and net asset value. But

216
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: it's it's really the people buying it because of the

217
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: dividend stream UM. And if interest rates are going up

218
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: and you get three on a ten year treasury and

219
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: three on a read, you're not going to pay as

220
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: much for the REAT. So I want to just ship

221
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: back to the idea of the warehouse space, and it's

222
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: a it's a question that Pim raised before the segment

223
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: where he was saying, you know, are we seeing peak

224
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: valuations here? Just because we are seeing such premiums bid

225
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: up for these spaces at this time, you know, there's

226
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money waiting to be placed in the market.

227
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: The stock market is experiencing significant volatility over the last

228
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: um ten or eleven months. People look for safe investments

229
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: or safer investments that have a steady rate of return,

230
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: and real estate provides that. So you're seeing real estate

231
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: becoming a much more attractive investment when you look at

232
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world in terms of real

233
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: estate UM affordable housing is in high demand UM housing

234
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: in generalism and high demand. Hotels have been in high

235
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: demand UM. Office less so, retail much less so UM

236
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: the warehouse because of the of the shift in consumer

237
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: behavior brought about by companies like Amazon, UM, you're seeing

238
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: the darling of the of the investor real quick. Have

239
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: we seen rates to rent out warehouse space go up recently? Yes,

240
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: how much significantly? I don't have the exact statistics, but

241
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: it's on the rise because demand is on the rise. Fascinating,

242
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us. Kennt Weisenberg,

243

Speaker 1: Eisner Amper in New York. We really appreciate you being here,

245
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: especially on a day when Blackstone is buying Grammar Seat

246
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Property Trust. This is the second multi billion taller takeover

247
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: of a warehouse company is in just the past two

248
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: weeks fastening Space. We will continue to keep tabs on

249
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: it customized in souls using three D printing technology. How

250
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: is it done and what is the goal here? To

251
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: help us understand this new business adventure is Shamil Hargovin.

252
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: He is the co founder and the chief executive, along

253
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: with Hannah Chakrits, the director of product and design for Weaves.

254
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: That W I I V V. That's W double I

255
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: double V. Alright, Shamil tell us about we've and the

256
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: science behind custom made insuls. Hey, Pam, thank you, Yeah, We've.

257
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: We've effectively taken Meta Greate medical great scan technology, put

258
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: it on a phone and we're able to now from

259
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: the comfort of your living room, measure your feet or

260
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: other body parts and then run that through a system

261
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: where we customize the product designed for your body. We

262
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: buy mechanically enhance the product to serve your body, and

263
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: then ultimately use additive manufacturing in three D printing to

264
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: print the product in the United States and send it

265
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: to your door. Chamil, Before we do anything else, we

266
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: have to get something out of the way. You ran

267
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: a marathon and flip flops? Is that right? I apologize

268
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: that was our product engineer, Chris Bellomdia. Yes, okay, I'm

269
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: just making sure and he lived to see the other day.

270
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, this is a fascinating issue because this sort

271
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: of raises a question. Is this the future where you

272
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: could just get a scan, have clothes or shoes manufactured

273
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: at a three D printing press that doesn't require that

274
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: many people there to do it, and then it gets

275
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: shipped right to you. Is that what we're going to see,

276
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: say in ten years from now. I'd say sooner than that,

277
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: but yes, we're here. Um, we're starting with footwear, uh

278
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: and and and products like orthotics and insoles. But it's

279
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: just a matter of time before we get is smarter, quicker,

280
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: and it becomes something increasingly cheaper for everyone to have.

281
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: So Hannah, come on in here, because I'm trying to

282
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: figure out the actual process of the three D printing

283
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: and how you figure how you make it work. Can

284
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: you just give walk me through what happens once someone

285
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: submits a scan of their foot to the point when

286
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: they get the product. Yeah. So it's actually a very

287
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: simple process. You download our app, you pick the product

288
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: that you want, and then with just a few photos,

289
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: we digitally map your your feet and create a three

290
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: D model of the product that we're building, and then

291
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: can send that to the three D printer, print the

292
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: product overnight, and get it to your door in under

293
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: ten days. So you don't own the three D printing press,

294
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: we do you do? Okay? So you have a press. Uh,

295
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: we have a manufacturing facility and San Diego Shamille. What

296
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: prevents other companies from coming in and doing exactly the

297
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: same thing? I mean, there are ways to buy orthotics

298
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: now you can have them custom molded, I guess to

299
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: your feet. But what prevents someone else from coming in

300
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: scanning someone's foot and using three D printing technology to

301
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: offer a competitor. Absolutely. Let's just set a really quick

302
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: piece of context. What's happening that's accelerating what we're doing

303
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: for starters is we have scanning technologies and we've got

304
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: the big players Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Google spending lots of

305
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: money there on the printing side, ge Hewlett Packard, Carbon

306
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: three D systems. What we are the leaders at is

307
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: taking that scan and converting it into a three D

308
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: printable file, and we do that in a matter of seconds. Uh.

309
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: And that's the really, that's the patents, that's the technology,

310
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: that's what we've continues to innovate in. Is it's almost

311
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: a machine learning meets computer vision meets customization algorithm s

312
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: and so that that that's our core technology. That's hard

313
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: to replicate. So I'm just trying to figure out the

314
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: advantage to the consumer. Clearly, it's because if you do

315
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: have a custom fit based on your technology, that's an advantage.

316
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: What about the cost, Hannah, The cost is affordable. But

317
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: I want to touch on custom again. So the reason

318
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: we do what we do is is not just because

319
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: custom is cool. We truly believe that custom fit products

320
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: will really impact how you move and you feel and

321
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: you function on a day to day basis. So the

322
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: Boston Marathon was an extreme example of that, where you

323
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: have a product that's customed to each of your feet, uh,

324
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: and it will impact how how you run, not just

325
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: a marathon, but even how you walk to work, and

326
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 1: how you stand and how you can you know, feel

327
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: how your mood is during the day. So um our

328
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: goal is feel and function how you move and live

329
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: UM and you you'll be able to see our sandals

330
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: for a very accessible price and our insuls from seventy nine.

331
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: Shamille maybe speak a little bit about the actual library,

332
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: the database of scanned images that you have, because doesn't

333
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: that also make it possible for you to then customize

334
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: it based on what you've done in the past. Absolutely

335
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: that the data here is is the actual goal mine

336
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: so to speak. We've has an extremely large repository footwear

337
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: data we've collected and we actually acquired through one of

338
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: our acquisitions in sixteen, was right, That's correct, yes, uh.

339
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: And the idea here is that the more data we have,

340
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: almost like you know, the search algorithms that the company

341
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: is trying to bring AI into the world. Either more

342
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: data you have, the more you're able, uh to kind

343
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: of get this right in terms of understanding the different

344
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: form factors and feet you're dealing with. And so this

345
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: is very critical for our for our company and its longevity.

346
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: Really interesting Thank you so much both of you for

347
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: being with us. Chamil Hargovin, co founder and chief executive

348
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: officer of We've in Seattle, and Hannah Zachritz, director of

349
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: product and design for the company based in Vancouver, thank

350
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: you so much. Really interesting and uh it makes me

351
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: wonder what else will be able to be printed in

352
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: those three D printers. I've seen houses being printed. I

353
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: wonder how much they'll be part of our We're not

354
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: going to help me in a marathon anyway. The Oracle

355
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: of Omaha spoke and the world listened, and keep speaking

356
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: and the world keeps listening. We're talking about the Berkshire

357
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: Hathway Annual shareholder Meeting, which is ongoing. Joining us now

358
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: is David Dead's founder, president, chief investment strategist at Point

359
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: View Wealth Management, overseeing about three million dollars in New Jersey. David,

360
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us. I want

361
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: to start first with the loss that Berkshire Hathaway reported

362
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: due to what they called punishing accounting changes. Can you

363
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: just talk about what these are and whether we should

364
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: paying attention to that. Yeah, Well, the bottom line is

365
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: people are not paying attention to that. Um Buffa is

366
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: always focused on, you know, economic potential and actual earnings

367
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: on cash invested. These changes in accounting treatment have have

368
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: no impact on the value of his investment, on the

369
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: value of his businesses, and so I think it's widely

370
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: thought that investors and others should disregard these one time

371
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: accounting issues. David diets rat poison. He talked about rat poison,

372
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: didn't he? Well, uh, you know, there's a lot of

373
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: even more colorful language that was used um in Omaha

374
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Um, but uh, you know, depending on the topic,

375
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: but particularly Charlie Munger a man of few words, but

376
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: they are certainly colorful words that were used to describe

377
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: all sorts of things, including his uh dislike of cryptocurrencies. Yeah,

378
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: that's what Warren Buffett said, that bitcoin is is rat poison.

379
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: Did you find many people there who disagreed with them? Well,

380
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, not to make that word raised in the

381
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: hand to argue with him on that, But I think

382
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: the more important thing really was his reasoning there. And

383
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: it all goes back for Warren Buffet um and Charlie

384
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: Munger on productivity. If you have an asset that can

385
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: do something for you, that can pay off income, that

386
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: can grow crops which can produce a profit. They're all

387
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: for that. When you have assets like gold, like cryptocurrencies,

388
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: which just kind of exists in trade hands, but at

389
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: the end of the day they don't multiply, they're not fertile,

390
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: then he is very negative on that, and so he

391
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: analogy cryptocurrency. They both did to one of the biggest

392
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: investment the bacles that the world has ever seen, which

393
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: was the trading of toolip bolts bulbs in the UH

394
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: seventeenth century over in Amsterdam Um. And so the message

395
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: was quite clear, steer clear. He added to that in

396
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: some comments this morning when he asked, well, why is

397
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: Goldman's Acts going to start trading them? And he said,

398
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I think some of the senior people at

399
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: Goldman's Acts probably share the views I have. But you know,

400
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: there's a market. The ducks are quacking, so you're gonna

401
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: make a market dry and makes the money off the activity.

402
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett also had some colorful words for Elon Musk. Yeah, exactly, well,

403
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Elon Musk kind of started by

404
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: calling moat, which is one of the favorite terms that

405
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: they used to to give you a visual as to

406
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 1: the type of protection they'd like to see around their

407
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: businesses as lame um saying if that's your best defense

408
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: against marauding armies, you're you're not much good and uh um.

409
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of chuckling back and forth, but I

410
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: think there's kind of a misunderstanding as to what a

411
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: mode is all about. And and they explained how most

412
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: are your competitive advantage, a reason why the product gear

413
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: offering will continue to have a market, which is values

414
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: it above him beyond your cost of production. And I

415
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: thought it was it was kind of cute at the

416
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: end when they talked about, well, you can make fun

417
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: of our moats, but we have a nice moat around

418
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: Seas Chocolates, which is one of their businesses, which is

419
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: very big in California of course, where Elon Musk is

420
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: and kind of challenged in a humorous way. Elon must

421
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, overcome the mote that Sees Chocolate

422
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: has in California. Um. There's been some tweets back in

423
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: the well from Elon Musk. He's saying he may take

424
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: them up on the challenge, but I'll have to bet

425
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: with the Warren and Charlie if there sees Canny enjoys

426
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: a very great moat, and Elon is not gonna build

427
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: a touch it. What did he say about Apple, because

428
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: they did buy one another seventy five million shares in

429
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: the first quarter, and it turns out that neither of

430
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: them actually use an iPhone. Yeah, you know, it's kind

431
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: of odd. I think I think the analysis is that

432
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: it's more of a consumer good rather than a tech company.

433
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: And you know, they see people's embrace of the the

434
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: everything mac and iPhone ecosphere and see recurring revenues coming

435
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: from that. So that's one thing. Of course, they really

436
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: like the fact that it was well priced relative to

437
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: a lot of other tech companies. Is actually priced um

438
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: uh in terms of price to earnings below the overall market,

439
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: and when you back out the cash is not being

440
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: used to create the profits, the price earning creation is

441
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: even less. And they also liked how Tim Cook thinks,

442
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: which to cut to the chase means that unneeded capital

443
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: will be returned to shareholders in the form of stock buybacks,

444
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: and we just saw increase in the dividend. I think

445
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: he likes the financial management at Apple, he likes the product,

446
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: and quite frantically when you're a six hundred billion dollar

447
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: market cap company like Berkshire Hathaway, you need very large

448
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: targets to invest in so you don't rock the market

449
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: or end up controlling it and having a file with

450
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: the SEC. Of course, Apple fits that bill to a t.

451
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much for being with us.
