Yes, well, I'll tell you what. 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: We have these machines upstairs and they grind the peanuts. 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: They make it fresh for you, so it doesn't take 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: anything like peanut butter, the worst thing in the word. 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It is so good and it's much 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: better for you than Jiff, which is my previous fat 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: Matt loved eating Jeff peanut butter or skippy, but skinny 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Matt likes fresh ground peanuts. It's so much healthier. Alright, folks. 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: For those of that don't know, Matt's been on a 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: diet for the last couple of months and has lost 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: a meaningful amount thirty three pound the end of July. 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: So there you go. Good for him. Ira save us 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: here Ira Jersey, chief US interest rate strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence. 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: I've got inflation data over the next couple of days. 24 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: People like you tell me I need to pay attention. 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: What's the FED looking for when I get some of 26 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: these data points over the next couple of days. Well, 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: they're really hoping for them to be lower. Um. You know, 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: of course, Bloomberg Economics actually has a relatively high print 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: for or or things that it will be relatively high 30 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: print month on month. But if if the expectation is 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: met here on CPI, particularly core CPI being up only 32 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: zero point four uh instead of the zero point six 33 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: it was up last month, I think the FED will 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: kind of applaud that a little bit. And you know, 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: don't look at the headline number being up or down 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: a little bit, because there's you know, it's probably gonna 37 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: be up a little because gas prices are up a 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: little bit. But it's really the core inflation number that 39 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: is going to be the focus. I think that the 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: next month or two for for the FED and certainly 41 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: for market participants. What about retail sales. I've heard a 42 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: couple of people say that, you know, retail sales is 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: going to be a big number to pay attention to 44 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, so retail sales is always is always 45 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: a big number. In fact, I would say in this world, 46 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: it's really um the top three, you know, it kind 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: of has been eclipsed a little bit by CPI recently 48 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: in terms of market reaction and market function. But retail sales, 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: if it continues to slip, you know, X automobiles for example, 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: like it did last month, UM, then that certainly is 51 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: a sign that these higher prices are leading to demand destruction. 52 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: And I think that that's the real um, you know, 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: real concern for UM for the economy in general and 54 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: things like corporate earnings. Will those keep up because if 55 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: obviously its top line revenues start to fall significantly, it's 56 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: not going to be good for risk assets. UM. You know. 57 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: But but then again, like one of the reasons why 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: falling headline CPI is important and certainly headline UM core 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: inflation is that that real wage is might wind up 60 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: being higher. Right, the wage numbers that we got last 61 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: week weren't that bad, you know, so so bad in 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: what sense bad for the FED or bad for the economy. Well, 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: I when I say weren't that bad, I mean that 64 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: they were high enough that it looks like real growth 65 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: is still going to be positive. And that's where, um, 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: I think the the issue is right, nominal nominal growth 67 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: rates have just skyrocketed in part because of prices, but 68 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: but demand has kept up right, So so that's why 69 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: those retail sales numbers that we're going to get on 70 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: Friday are going to be, you know, pretty important facts. 71 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: So I just saw pretty good walking by the Bloomberg 72 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: Interactive Broker studio and I brought her in here, um 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: put her in front of a mike because Cretty, you're 74 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: the one from whom I heard this. I think you 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: were talking yesterday with Carol masser Um on Bloomberg Business 76 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: Week and saying that maybe the retail sales number is 77 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: as important or more important than, um the CPI number. Yeah, 78 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: the logic there was that, uh, if the CPI number 79 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: and the PPN number, basically it's becoming a question of 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: the margin of of deceleration when it comes to the 81 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: inflation figures. But the retail number is different because it's 82 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: speaking more to the demand side rather than the supply side, 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: whereas the CP and PPI is more supply side driven. 84 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: The retail numbers that we're going to say, are people 85 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: still spending and it's coming out of time when a 86 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: lot of people are kind of expecting inventory levels that 87 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: are extremely high and therefore these massive sales and discounted 88 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: prices for the retail sector. So the question here is 89 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: if net net the GDP is going to kind of 90 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: um or I should say that the net sales are 91 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: going to drop in the fourth quarter going into holiday season. 92 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: What you want to make up for the lower prices 93 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: or the lower sales is higher demand UM And that's 94 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: why the retail sales number could couldn't make or break 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: that theory that people are still spending into the holiday 96 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: season rather than cutting back because of UM inflation or 97 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: higher prices or disposal when you do your Christmas shopping. 98 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: And Matt I don't completely disagree with that. So so 99 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: the number within the retail sales number on Friday you 100 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: really want to be focused on is that retail sales 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: control group because it that is all the what inputs 102 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: into GDP that looks at at overall prices. Remember this 103 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: is a September number, so obviously going into like like 104 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's accurate to say, hey, are we 105 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: going to have a decent holiday sales numbers? Um, and 106 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: September is a little bit early for that. But but 107 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: still if we have a zero point three as the 108 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: consensus is expecting for that control group, that will be 109 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: a pretty decent number. And actually that would mean that 110 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: real control group sales was basically flat. And and you know, 111 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: if demand continues to keep up with these price increases 112 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: and things are good. And by the way, Matt, I 113 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: just looked while we were talking, um, good things to 114 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: go to that that fresh peanut butter, because peanut butter 115 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: in the CPI report is up you know so far 116 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: this year. So you are free in the Bloomberg pantry. 117 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: But is a poultry and like eggs like up or something. 118 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: Some some sectors in the food are are are quite 119 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: significantly um. But keep in mind like like things like 120 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: like the the actual commodities that are in CPI, UM, 121 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: you know that that's for the consumer, so so a 122 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: lot of that is still shipping costs. So things like 123 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: gasoline prices being much higher means that it's, you know, 124 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: just cost more to get the good stores. All right, 125 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Skippy superchunk is the way to go. And I would 126 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: die on that hill. Iro Jersey, chief US interest rate 127 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, Thank you so much. We didn't 128 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: even get to talk soccer. That's a wasted opportunity. Tomorrow, 129 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: all right, we'll do it tomorrow. Let's bring our next 130 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: guest professional big time. Cole Speed, President portfolio manager of 131 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: Smeet Capital Managements. Some really really good performance there. Well, 132 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this market. It's just been a blood 133 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: bath all year. I mean, I've got cash in my pocket. 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: Should I just leave it there? What should I be doing? Well? 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: To your point, what we're witnessing this year is what 136 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: we call stock market failure, okay, and this is the 137 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: seeds of this were sowned by the spectator of euphoria 138 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: that we saw um in twenty one, whether it be 139 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Spacts or the Robin Hood Yolo traders, as Spencer Jacob 140 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 1: from the Wall Street Journalist book lays out um. And 141 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: so we're just we're bearing what we have to do 142 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: with based on this, and by the way, we might 143 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: not be done with this bear market until Matt has 144 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: his next neat whiskey just okay. So so I just 145 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: say that because to your point, I think the topest 146 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: thing for investors right now is some investors want to 147 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: go right back to what was just popular okay. In 148 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: other words, there is a large population of the professional 149 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: stock pickers out there that are hiding out in big 150 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: cap tech because they think they'll pass through price pricing 151 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: better than anyone else. The question is will the valuation 152 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: protect them even if they can pass on pricing On 153 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: the flip side, where you'd have to go, in our 154 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: opinion to make you know, wonderful money looking forward is 155 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: you need to go into economically sensitive places that have 156 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: been bombed out based on the circumstances, based on the 157 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: fear of macroeconomics, based on the FED I think to break, etcetera. 158 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: And that's where it looks like the best prospects are 159 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: for making money in stocks. You know, I uh, there 160 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: were a lot of hot stocks meme stocks during the 161 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: pandemic that I've gotten crushed and most of them didn't 162 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: make any money. But I, in in my health pivot, 163 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: have founded another way of taking the edge off. When 164 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: I get home, it doesn't involve alcohol, and I'm wondering 165 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: if you have taken a look at weed stocks. I mean, 166 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: talk about cheap valuations. Some of these stocks are trading 167 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: at two times earnings and they're trading at three times sorry, 168 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: two times sales and three times earnings. I mean they're 169 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: they're trading for very low valuations and they make money, 170 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: and the outlook has to be right, right. Uh yeah, 171 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: I just don't know how society is better off if 172 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: we're all high to be. But you should be worried 173 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: about making money. You're not making value judgments, you're not 174 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: making ethical calls, right You you want to make money, 175 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: you want to maximize profitability, and you want to buy 176 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: stuff that's cheap. I can take all the ethical questions 177 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: and the ideological questions on by owning energy stocks and 178 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: get way wealth here. Okay, that's the difference in orders. 179 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: There's an ideology going on out there about how bad 180 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: that industry is. And by the way, it's effectively portfolio 181 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: managers being shamed so that they don't touch it. Okay. 182 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean when we can look across the value por 183 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: folios and find no energy holdings, Um, you know that 184 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: the shaming has been tough because even the value people 185 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: have given up on this, So we don't have to 186 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: make that judgment call. We don't have to wonder how 187 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: big they'll be, we don't have to wonder how profitable 188 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: they could be. We can buy all those economics right 189 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: now in the energy business and use it. People ask 190 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: us often, you know, what does day to day trading 191 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: look like to you? I mean, Friday was a big 192 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: up day in the oil and the stocks rolled down. 193 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: Today's a down day and oil and the stocks are down. 194 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: So what goes on day to day in these stocks, 195 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: whether you know, tied to the oil price, it really 196 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: hasn't correlated much. Any day over ninety is a drain. 197 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,359 Speaker 1: We're just getting fat and happy and everyone else is frustrating. 198 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: So well on that, What is your kind of your 199 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: central energy call here? Is it tied to the price 200 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: of oil per se or is it something else? Macro? Well, 201 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: I mean the lack of supply. It's massive. And when 202 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: I say massive, you know, let's just say in the interim, 203 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, parts of say Western Europe have slowed down 204 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: because their energy crisis. That's that's probably likely, right, which 205 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: means there's just subtle demand that's taken off, but again, 206 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: supply can't grow. UM supply is continued to disappear when 207 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: the Saudis are out there making the case that we 208 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: cannot sustain at these levels. You know, there's real problems 209 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: that The big myth to so we're all aware, is 210 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: that out of nowhere OPEC can snap their finger, ten 211 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: million barrels can just show up. And that's false, right 212 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: that that's western myth is what it is. And the 213 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: reality is if we're going to be we're gonna be 214 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: producing a lot more oil the United States and can it. 215 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: I've got to be a primary driver that. Just so 216 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: we're all aware, all right, good stuff, Cold, really love 217 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: getting your perspective there, coll Smeat President folio manager Smeat 218 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: Capitol UH Management with a you know, a bullish call, 219 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: which it's really been surprising how well, well, I guess 220 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: it's not surprising, but it's just interesting to see how 221 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: well UH Energy has done over the last several years. 222 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: It was so out of favor for so long, Peak 223 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: oil and all that, but boys and how and how 224 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: well they've done Bill and it's I mean, they they 225 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: have UM produced incredible performance at a time when other 226 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: funds just long stocks. Are getting crushed. Absolutely good stuff. 227 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: G l c O the Global Commodity Price Dashboard on 228 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Terminal, that's where you find all the commodity stuff, 229 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: energy metals, aggs, all that kind of good stuff. And 230 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: that's typically where you're find you know, people like Mike mcglowan, 231 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: Senior Commodity Strategies for Bloomberg Intelligence. But nope, he's not 232 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: on the farm checking out the corn, you know, or 233 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: the cotton and soybeans or any of that kind of stuff. 234 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: He's in Vegas and he's at something called the web 235 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: Crypto Conference. Mike, what are you doing in Vegas? And 236 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: what is the Web three Crypto Conference? Hey boy, I 237 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: was invited to attend by a group called the Wolf 238 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: of All Streets and I've been presenting on the macro 239 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: and um talking to you, um and but yeah, I 240 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: was out in the cornbell a couple about of months ago, 241 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: bus the family and it was shocking how good the 242 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: corn crop was this year and the parts I went 243 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: to Illinois. UM. But in terms of the rest of 244 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: the space that you know, I look at, commodities is 245 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: kind of like a futruty nail as the global macroeconomic 246 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: tide recedes and that's what you're seen in in crude 247 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: oil and things like that. It had its bounced, but 248 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: I think it's just resuming and during bear market as 249 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: we see stocks headlower. Two So what is where are 250 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: the opportunities in the global commodity space? And and and folks, 251 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: Mike mcgloan has been covered doing this for four decades. 252 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: He covers everything in the commodities, which is now included 253 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: over the last decade U cryptocurrencies as as well, and 254 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: he understands that as well, are better than anybody on 255 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: Wall Street. So, Mike, when you talk to your institutional 256 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: investor clients out there in the commodity space, where are 257 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: they putting their money? Where they spending their time? Yeah, 258 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: that's the key thing. Everybody's looking for a place to hide. 259 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: And I the sense I get here and keep I 260 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: keep saying. And when I'm getting since I'm getting for 261 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: a lot of the money managers I speak to is 262 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: their selling equities on rallies and they're buying two you 263 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: notes on dips and are buying on dips. And I 264 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: think that's going to continue. At some point They're gonna 265 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: make some good money. Even so from Jamie Timing yesterday. 266 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: Now cryptos and that space, I'm sensing a decent amount 267 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: of institutions are coming into the bigcoin space and looking 268 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: to buying the bitcoin space. And that's really showed because 269 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: it's been the same price since June. But again, it's 270 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: it's also been the fastest horse in the race, and 271 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: it's going down. But that's my sense, and the key 272 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: question is where it stops. The key thing I like 273 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: to point out is there's been a lot of people 274 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: calling for very bullish calls and crude all this year, 275 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: and I think they're missing the macroeconomics and being tied. 276 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: And now I'm afraid that this is just going to 277 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: excel rate, and particularly because we have the sledge hammer 278 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: from the FED out there, and sledge hammer is just 279 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: pounding harder and harder every day. When when do we 280 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: see bitcoin move out of this range? I mean, it 281 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: hasn't really since June. Um. Okay, it's been up a 282 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: little to like twenty four thousand in August, and it's 283 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: been down a bit too, you know, eighteen, occasionally dipping 284 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: under that, but really it's been hovering around nineteen or 285 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: twenty thousand for months now. Why yeah, exactly, well and 286 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: more Sollars just like in obvious what my sensence, what's 287 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: happening with bitcoin. It's in that transition to becoming global 288 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: digital collateral and trading more like gold and long bonds, 289 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: and they're both down to so far this year. But 290 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: it's showing that stabilization. The key thing I've been really 291 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: watching as you saw what happened in theerium. It bought 292 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: him at a thousand, it had the merge and went 293 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: to two thousand. Now it's back towards and I think 294 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: that those are two things where we see what's looked 295 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: five ten years for that's the rapidly advancing technology. It's 296 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: much likely to more likely to appreciate, and I think 297 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: people get that. And then you see the old like 298 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: you like proof of steak, Well, I like it, Matt, 299 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: But it has the income. Now you can get involved. 300 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: Institutions are getting involved, and they can measure discounted cash 301 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: flows and that's what's a really unique space for its 302 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: hearing though that didn't exist before. So it's getting the attention. 303 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: But right now we are in a macroeconomic beer market. 304 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: Cryptos are part of it. And this is the fact 305 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: that bitcoin has been able to stabilize as we see 306 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: a new low in the NASA today is showing that 307 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: it's moving forward, looking to a better future. It's just 308 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: right now, it's October. We all know the Feds tightening 309 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: and markets haven't gone down enough yet. Unfortunately, by the way, 310 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: in crypto circles, Paul, this month is typically referred to 311 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: as October October yeah, because average average returns to two 312 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: thousand twenty one for bitcoin has been I'm sorry, two 313 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen has been about usually it's a game. Usually 314 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: it's a game, all right. My important question where you're 315 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: staying in Vegas at the win this is a resource. Yeah, 316 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: it's it's rough, Diggs here, Yeah, you've got to play 317 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: to go. Is the wind the place to get the place? 318 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: Now I'm a Blagio guy, but the wind is the 319 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: setting the bar like like he always does. I mean 320 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: you guys, I mean Mr Wynn is just the just 321 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: the visionary in which is crazy term use since he's 322 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: partially blind. But I thought that was secret or you're 323 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: not supposed to admit or tell him that he's blinds 324 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's no big Oh. I thought 325 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: it was a thing that he didn't like I've I've 326 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: always I've always talked him about it. But anyway, Uh so, Mike, 327 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: you're at this crypto conference in in the midst of 328 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: a bare global bear market. What is the conversation from 329 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: crypto folks in Vegas this week? They're One key person 330 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: I spoke to yesterday was a minor and adventure capital 331 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: investor and he've got much more capitalist to the point, 332 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: and his quote was, I really prefer bearer markets because 333 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: you get rid of the silly speculation. And he's just 334 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: looking at to play more capital. Um so there's a 335 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: lot of positive there from people like him. Partney says, Hey, 336 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: I've got good investor returns and I've got a lot 337 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: of good discounts here. But that's the main sense. It 338 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: was the first day in a semi Holley associate. What 339 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: really kicks it today? But it's an investor conference. It's 340 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: certainly be enthusiasm from a few months ago was gone, 341 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: which most people here for the institutions think, thank you. 342 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: It's good to get rid of that. Oh I haven't 343 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: been there in years. You gotta go. I mean, so, Mike, 344 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: how is Vegas? Is it? Is it hopping? Is it 345 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: kind of like the old days. What's going on? Give 346 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: us a read? It's my first time here, is really what? 347 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: It's your first time ever in Las Vegas. I have 348 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: to admit that, yes, my wife and I walked on 349 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: the strip yesterday and we found a nice place to eat. 350 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: But I'm not much of a gamble. I can lose 351 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: a lot enough, a lot of much money in markets, 352 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: even with an edge. So but it's it seems to 353 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: be hopping. It's happening. But the key thing is there's 354 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: so much construction and building and so much going on here. 355 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: It's just quite an amazing place. So it's cool, cool 356 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: to be here for the first time from and the 357 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: key thing there for you know, people who invest in, 358 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: you know, these gaming companies, is the conference business. That 359 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: is the kind of Yeah, I thought that that's what 360 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about, and I've I haven't been there in years, 361 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: but it's great to go for that purpose. You know, 362 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't gamble much either because I just end up 363 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: losing money, but I do like to go to conferences 364 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: or um, you know, I've been down there to a 365 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: few track schools. Lamborghini has tracks schools down there, super fun, 366 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: good stuff all right, Mike, Well, we'll let you get 367 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: back to it. Let you get back to the tables. 368 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: Mike McLoone senior commodity strategist for Bloomberg Intelligent out of 369 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: Vegas at Crypto conference. But again, you think about they 370 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: have so much conference space out there. I mean, the 371 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Consumer Electronics Show in January, it's just a monster. You know, 372 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand people descend on the city. Win 373 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: looks like the biggest. I mean I'm looking at the 374 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: RV function, which shows you relative value of one company 375 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: to others. So I put up Win Resorts um it's 376 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: the biggest by market cap six and six point six 377 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: billion of any of the American ones. Of course, they 378 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: have Win Macau, which is another three point three billion. 379 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: And now that I hear, it's the place to say 380 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: they're setting the bar. I want to go down there 381 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: and get a get a suite, go out there. Yes, 382 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: go out there, out to Vegas. But when you talk 383 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: about the gaming companies, it's all about Asia Macau. I mean, 384 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: that's McCaw's such. It dwarfs the strip on Vegas. So 385 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: you think about what moves the needle for these gaming companies, 386 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: it's for the majority of them, Las Vegas Sands wins 387 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: those big ones. It's been Macau because that is a 388 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: huge gaming market for these companies and they put monstrous 389 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: investments in there. So it's kind of fun to get 390 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: some feedback from Mike mcgloan in Vegas. We have to 391 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: get to Allison Williams. We've got Allison coming up and 392 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk to We always talked. We talked to pretty 393 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: a lot on linked to talk to her, but we'll 394 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: get more coming up. But I need to talk to 395 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: Alice Williams because starting Friday, we'll get the big banks 396 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: reporting numbers. And that's big for a lot of reasons. 397 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: A for the for the banks themselves and for their sheralders, 398 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: but also for their their read on the overall economy. 399 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: Alison Williams joints the senior Global Banks and Asset Manager 400 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. So Alison, I wanted to start 401 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: first with Credit Swiss that I guess the latest twist 402 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 1: in this story is if they want to survive, if 403 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: they want to implement their restructuring, they may need more capital. 404 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: Is that kind of the read? That is the read? 405 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: And that's actually you know that is been the concern 406 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: with the stock. I think every other day we get 407 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: a we get another number that's being thrown out there. Um, 408 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think there was numbers to the multi billions. 409 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: But but but the bottom line is that the amount 410 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: of capital they need depends on you know, a what business, 411 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: what businesses in their portfolio are they going to keep 412 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: um and seek to fund um If they're selling businesses, 413 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: obviously that they can get capital without raising stock. They 414 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: can get it from from other investors um. But then 415 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: you know, what are the steps ahead and you know 416 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: what money do they need to pay for those taps 417 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: steps in terms of restructuring. And so that's why when 418 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: you see sort of various numbers out there, any of 419 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: these numbers could be correct. It really just depends on 420 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: what we're going to hear from them on the So, Alison, 421 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: is are the so over? Like when I was a 422 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Credit Swiss we felt we could pitch any deal anywhere 423 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: around the world and be really competitive. Are those days 424 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of over for this new Credit Swiss? So? I think, 425 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: And that's not really where the challenge lies. I think 426 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: in general, um, you know, across the firm they have 427 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: to be feeling Um, you know some pressure as you know, 428 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: clients as well as investors are looking at them with 429 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: some uncertainty, but they really do you know, they have 430 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: a good m and a franchise. UM, equity underwriting and 431 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: leverage lending. These are all areas that the bank is 432 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: wrong on. But as we know that there's not that 433 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: none of those deals are being done right now, aren't 434 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: being done. Leverage lending is a book where we're is 435 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: a business where we're seeing write downs. Um, just given 436 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: the markets this year, so there's structural issues with credit 437 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: Swiss and then the cyclical pressures I think are just 438 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, really um bringing those issues to bear. So 439 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: we're going to hear from the big banks JP Morgan 440 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: on the fourteenth. What day is today? Today is the 441 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: eleventh Friday? Okay, so we're gonna hear from JP Morgan 442 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: on Friday, Wells Fargo as well, City Group as well, 443 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: and then the following week Bank America, UM State some 444 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: other states treat as some mother's truest you always think 445 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: is not a great name. Um, what do we expect 446 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: to hear? Yeah? And so yeah, so Friday, as you said, 447 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: we'll get JP Morgan, City Wells and Morgan Stanley. UM, 448 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: you know, the big thing that we're watching is what 449 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: happens with UM credit provisions. We think that credit is 450 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: good right now, but the question is how are banks 451 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: looking out into the future and factoring that into UM 452 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: their lost provision. So it's more a view towards what 453 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: the risks are head We saw UM headlines yesterday UM 454 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: from JP Morgan's comments talking about our recession next year. 455 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: When the banks set these reserves, they look over the 456 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: loan life so if they see increasing odds of a recession, 457 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: if they see a recession looking tougher, we'll see it 458 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: in those reserves, and so we're watching that number more 459 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: for three risk UM. From a revenue perspective, the negative 460 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 1: is investment banking fees, as we talked about wealth inesset 461 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: management fees, mortgage fees, lots of fees going down. Fixed 462 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: income trading will be the highlight in the investment bank. 463 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: But the revenue story is really not interest income that's 464 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: going to come in very strong for the banks UM. 465 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: There's potential upside relating to rates UM, but the question 466 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: for the outlook what is how our loans growing. Again, 467 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: that comes back to the economic risks and then what's 468 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: happening with their cost of deposits? And on the cost side, Allison, 469 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: when we talk costs, we usually talk people, Uh, you 470 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: know better than anybody. Are we going to get some 471 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: big announcements from some of these banks. Is this an 472 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: opportunity for them to really pair back their head count? 473 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: I think that I think what we're going to see 474 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: in the quarter is more on the compensation side of things. So, UM, 475 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: when we look across banks, are our expectation is that 476 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: they'll bring down comp um at a similar amount to 477 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: the related revenue. So keep in mind that many of 478 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: these banks are diversified UM. Morgan Stanley and Golbin Sachs 479 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: are are sort of more focused on the capital market. 480 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: So we'll see it. UM. They're the most revenue down 481 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: CALMP down UM. The issue is that some of the 482 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: non compense station costs are going up. We have inflation broadly, UM. 483 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: We have wages and businesses that are not related to 484 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: capital markets that are impacted by inflation. UM. So net 485 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: net investors are not going to like, uh some of 486 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: the negative operating leverage that we're going to see at 487 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: the banks. UM. So we think that there will be 488 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: pressing questions in terms of what's coming in the final quarter. 489 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: Will compensation appruals be depressed further to help UM offset 490 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: some of the lower revenues that we've just discussed, And 491 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: how are they looking at investments and discretionaries spending? Will 492 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: there be some pullback there as well? So, I mean 493 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: in the in the deals, in the fees space, I 494 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: can't remember the last time we had a juicy m 495 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: N a trade other than Elon and Twitter. I can't 496 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: remember the last time we had a really big juicy 497 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: at all, the opposite of juicy, ye, So I mean, no, 498 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: it's definitely gone from feast to famine. Keeping keep in 499 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: mind that, you know, to your point, you can't remember 500 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: when we've seen some interesting transactions, you know, I p 501 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: O s are are very scarce. Last year was a 502 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: phenomenal year, record m and a record equity fees, and 503 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: we came into the year UM. You know, sort of 504 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: we were talking about compensation when we came into this year. 505 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 1: UM the pressure was extreme because not just it's not 506 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: just investment banks right like hedge funds, other people are 507 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: looking to hire UM the staff, so and the competition 508 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: from technology also raising UM sort of the cost to compete. 509 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: Now we've had the markets are sort of uh pulled back, 510 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: So that's going to pull back some of the pay pressure. 511 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: Also on the tech side of things, UM, as their 512 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: cost of capital goes up with these tupper markets, they 513 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: have less access to capital. That also UM has a 514 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: little bit of a relief aspect to their cost base. 515 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, Allison, thank you so much as 516 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: always for joining us. We know you're gonna have a busy, 517 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: busy Friday coming up, Alison Williams. She covers all the 518 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: banks on a global basis for Bloomberg Intelligence. Alright. One 519 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: of the many many tickers Met Miller has taught me 520 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: over the years is one is m O V movers. 521 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: It gives you the big movers. You type in SMP 522 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: next and it gives you, you know, what are the 523 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: big gainers? What are the big losers of today? The 524 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: losers today number one, number two casino stocks win Las 525 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: Vegas stands. What's going on? And we just talked to 526 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: Mike mc loan. He's at Vegas. He said this strip 527 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: was hopping. Conferences are back, So we said, let's get 528 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: Brian egger On here. He does all this kind of 529 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: stuff ran Nigger, senior gaming and lodging analyst. Also the 530 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: cruise lines and all the fun stuff. Guy hasn't worked 531 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: a day in his life. Let me tell you he's 532 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: a Bloomberg intelligence Brian, what's going on with the casino sucks? 533 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: I thought like China's letting people go gamble away their livelihoods. 534 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: Vegas has hopping. What's going on? Yeah, you're right, Paul, 535 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: I mean China really is the issue now. On the 536 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: one hand, to your point, we do have some good 537 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: news on the travel from We've gotten resumption of China 538 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: tour groups coming up, as well as the issuance of 539 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: online or e visas, which had helped travel volumes going 540 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: to next year. But at least a totally the feedback 541 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: is the Golden Week holiday was weaker than expected from 542 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: a gaming volume perspective, So we've still got a MACCAU 543 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: market with a lot of pressures after v I P 544 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: Junk of credit was basically banned West December. I think 545 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: those travel openings which I mentioned are good news going forward, 546 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: but you know, I sim it's going to take time 547 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: for those to pan out. The market is still quite 548 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: weak compared to pre pandemic levels. Who do you want 549 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: to own? I mean I was looking at when before 550 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: just because um, we were talking about how great it 551 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: would be to stay at one of their suites, and 552 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: then I ran the RV function relative value to see 553 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: who's bigger. Um, I look at competition like Las Vegas, 554 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: Sands like Boyd, like Pen like Caesar's, which is the 555 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: most desirable of the group. So the way I think 556 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: about this is if you if you want to avoid 557 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: fundamental exposure to Macao because you know that market likely 558 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: to be down at least this year versus pre pandemic levels, 559 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: then you know, really of the companies in North America, UM, 560 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 1: you know, Sands and Win arguably the most exposed. You know, 561 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: falled by MGM. Um. You know right now it is 562 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: true that domestic but doesn't Win have their Macau business 563 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: broken out to Win Macau. It's still part of the 564 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: consolidated company, right, So you know when as a when 565 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: resorts as a company still has through its Macau subsidiaries, 566 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: substantial exposure to Macau, and now it's Sands out of Vegas, 567 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: it's really all the cow in Singapore. So if you 568 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: want it to be more domestically exposed among the bigger destinations. 569 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: You know, companies like MGM and Caesar's don't have that 570 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: McCaw exposure. And then of course all the regional companies 571 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: right now in North American gaming at least compared to 572 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: pre prodemic levels is by most standards back, which is 573 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: good news. But MACAU has the lingering effects of not 574 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: only the pandemic, but you know, clamp down on junk 575 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: at credit and other pressures. Yeah. If I look at 576 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: I always look at the comp screen, as you know, right, 577 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 1: and um total return over the last five years for 578 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: Las Vegas sands down thirty for when down fifty five. 579 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: But if you look at you know, BOYD is up 580 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: eighty seven, Caesar's up thirty five, Pen up four mg 581 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: of five, so everybody else is killing it. Ye. Hey, Brian, 582 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: you know the only time I've I've been to Vegas 583 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: a lot. I love Vegas, but basically every time I 584 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: go to Vegas it's because of a conference, you know, 585 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: the c E S conference, the n a B, the 586 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: National Association Broadcasters, or any other conference I can glom 587 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: onto for for that matter, what is the concert business 588 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: in Vegas? Now? It was such a driver is such 589 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: a driver is it back the pre pandemic. It's un 590 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: back to where it was, which would be total room 591 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: nights for a company like MGM, but it's it's coming back, 592 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: and the bookings have been there. Of course, the question 593 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: is if you have meeting planners and trade associations and 594 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: businesses begin to experience some waiting confidence because of a 595 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: shaker economy, that could certainly effect the tone of bookings. 596 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: But based on the lag to seat back we have 597 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: and we're due for an update discerning season, the bookings 598 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: are winding up fairly well. I mean, ce yes, they're 599 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: gonna have a couple hundred thousand people there in January, 600 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: so I don't know. But all right, let's switch over 601 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: to cruises because I think Matt's thinking about his next 602 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: vacation and I think he should do a cruise. Take 603 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: the whole family, go down to you know, the Caribbean, 604 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: and you know, see see that part of the world. 605 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: How's the cruise business, Brian? So the Chris business from 606 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: the perspective of bookings, I mean, the good news is 607 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: the fleets are back in operation, um after that long 608 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: pandemic pause, and uh, you know right now they're not 609 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: only the fleets back, but after a lot of the 610 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: pandemic protocols are lifted, bookings have improved. The question of 611 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: course is whether or not profitability returns at a fast 612 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: enough pace. So the company is to continue to manage 613 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: liquidity and to manage their debt obligations, which which they have. 614 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: You know, we we were just at an investor media 615 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago for Norwegian cruise Lines and 616 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: they expect to see record revenue yields and ibadad next year. 617 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: You know, so there's some good news in the out there. 618 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: You know, the recent feedback from Carnival was a little 619 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: bit more mixed, I thought in terms of the booking space, 620 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: but you know, there's you know, there's obviously concern what 621 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: happens in a slowing on To me, I think the 622 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: good news at least is that the chips are back 623 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: in operation and is pandemic protocols get lifted, bookings have revived, 624 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: so discretion or income, which is kind of how your 625 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: companies make their bread and butter bride, whether it's a 626 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: casino or a cruise line or a hotel. In a recession, 627 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: how sticky is that spending or is that one of 628 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: the first things that go I pull back on my vacations. 629 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: My cruise is my vagus, you know kind of trip. So, 630 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, historically, the cruise industry across the multiple decades 631 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: has performed well in economic downturns. This one is more 632 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: complex because you've got potentially rising inflation, You've got the 633 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: lingering effects of how consumers behave after the pandemic. But 634 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, it depends, I think really on the severity 635 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,719 Speaker 1: in the hell effects overall consumer discretionary income, I mean gaming. 636 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: I think it really depends on the part of gaming 637 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: that we're talking about. Those regional markets have to date 638 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: held up really well despite higher gas prices and inflation, 639 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: so you know, it's some of the businesses are more 640 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: cyclical than others, the hotels, but I think a lot 641 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: of it depends on whether or not the consumer holds 642 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: up as well as it has so far. And you're 643 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: also just on the cruise ships. They stopped by the 644 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: gas tank there. It's a lot to fill up a 645 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: cruise ship, isn't it getting less and less? Right? Yeah, 646 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: I guess he would have beens been to help, and 647 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: obviously any any back off in bunker fuel prices would 648 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: be bunker helpful as much as they help the bunker 649 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: fuel so as much as they do hedge. You know, 650 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: it's a it's another cost pressure that has certainly you know, 651 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: weight on the companies. Can't put bunker fuel on my truck, No, 652 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: I don't think so it's got to be at least 653 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: octane doesn't Okay, which is the best. It's running about 654 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: four dollars and fifty cents. That's the credit price near me. 655 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: Just wait, but you gotta go electric. Maybe we'll get 656 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: electric cruise ships at some point. Brian Edgar, Senior Gaming 657 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: and Lodging ANALYSTEE covers the you know the cruises. I 658 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: mean again, the guy has not worked a day in 659 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: his life. You should see the trips he goes on. 660 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: Supposedly for research intelligence reasons, but it's a scam.
