<v Speaker 1>we'll move on. Tifity Wilding and Pimco to join us

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>here in a bit. But right now, Ira Jersey with us,

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>let me frame out equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, futures lifting

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>not because of Ira Jersey, lifting because of tech. Some

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>better feeling their futures up twenty six NASDAK up now

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>solid eight tens of a percent. The VIX comes in

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a bit fifteen point four to six. You'd look for

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that to be better than good. Here in a bit

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in the yield space ten year yield three point eight

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>five percent. We'll see where that goes. Jersey looking for

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 1>lower yields forwards. So the inflation report that Chairman Powell

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>cares about, we'll get that to you right now. Waiting

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>on the screen ere on the Friday before Labor Day

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>takes a few seconds longer. Personal income comes in higher

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>than survey spending right on survey and elevated zero point

0:01:55.120 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>five percent PCE all on plan, but year over year

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>core PCE disinflates a little bit off survey last month

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>two point six percent, this month two point six percent.

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>We looked for an elevation there, but pretty much PCE

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on plan. Where spending came in from zero point three

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>up to zero point five on survey, and personal income

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>did a little bit better. I'm waiting for the revised numbers.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll get them out in a moment. In the markets,

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the vis comes in a more bullish fifteen point twenty

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>five futures of up to twenty six pretty much. Stage

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>is maybe a little bit of a bid to the

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>nastac up nine tenths of a percent right now in

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Ira jerseys yield space, I'm giving him time for what

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the racket, ear, folks is. I got to do this

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>data check half as good as Karen Moscow while we

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>let Ira Jersey and David Gurra sort out the details.

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Two year yield three point nine zero percent, a little

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>bit higher yield, but the yield's not really moving all

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>that much. I look at the ten year, really old

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>one point six nine percent. I do, okay there, David,

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that was great. I mean you walked.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Do we get the revision? We got the revision, there's

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>point three.

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and again personal spending revision was a tick higher.

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>This is this is important. We continue now with Ira

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Jersey of Bloomberg Intelligence. Ira, I guess it's on plan

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>on survey, and yet there's a lift involved, isn't there. Yeah?

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 3>So I think you know, when you when you look

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 3>at the headline data overall, and obviously we'll you know,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 3>have to focus in on the details. Like I mentioned,

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 3>I want to see what services spending was like and

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 3>and uh, services inflation. But but the economists got it

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>right this time, I think, more or less in terms

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 3>of the UH. In terms of the pace of inflation.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, interestingly, we haven't really slowed much, right, So

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 3>July didn't see a slow down in inflation, but still

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 3>two and a half percent on headline and more or

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 3>less right there on on core inflation year on year.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 3>It has to give the the Reserve at least a

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>little bit of comfort that they, you know, if they

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>cut interest rates and they go slowly, that that inflation

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>can continue to come down at least a little bit.

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, the the data that that you mentioned, you know,

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.119
<v Speaker 3>personal spending higher month on month, although in line with expectations.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 3>You know that that's actually a decent sign.

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 3>So the the the idea that we're having a soft

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>landing is is certainly playing out in this data for

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 3>this one month. Will it persist? I don't think so.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, you have to take the

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 3>incoming data and put that into your your thinking and

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 3>your your entire your entire outlook going forward.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Tom, I'm gonna lob one at you if I can.

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you were out in Northwest Wyoming last week

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>when the FED chairman spoke and we've said all morning,

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>as we say all the time, this is the Fed's

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 2>preferred inflation metric. How important is this reading to the Fed?

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I'd look ahead to next week, of course in the

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>job support, which strikes me as being so paramount in

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 2>comparison to this one. What does this one mean to policymakers?

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Bowie Chadam Financial said she's looking at service sector

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>inflation in Europe, France with disinflation, Spain with disinflation. IIRA

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>here three minutes in do you have a service sector

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>statistic yet? Because I think that's what they're waiting for

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>in Jackson a Hole.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm waiting for the some of the details to come

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>out on the terminal and it's you know, the inflating

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>inflation number bisector is not out yet. But when I

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 3>look at things like the personal income data at zero

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 3>point three percent and disposable income still up zero point

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 3>three percent, you know that that's actually a pretty good sign.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Fact that you have disposable income continuing to rise at

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 3>a reasonable pace means that spending might continue to be robust,

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>at least for the near term.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>IRA, Thank you so much, she's got to go dive

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>into the data. Ira Jersey will publish for Bloomberg Intelligence

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>here within the r He's also out with new forecasts

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>three point six six percent, sort of a blended fan

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>distribution of the ten year at yield and that yield

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>right now, excuse me, pretty much unchanged three point eighty

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>six at percent and the economics of the moment. Tifity

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Wilding joins from the Pacific Investment Management Company PIMCO, where

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>she is a Managing Director Economist North America at Tiffany.

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I know you have to wait and dive into the data,

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 1>or the media frenzy here at eight thirty four is

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>unfair to you. But the feeling I get here is

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>trend based disinflation. Am I off the mark?

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I mean you know what I would just say,

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 4>taking a step back when you look at a wide

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 4>range of data, it is it is getting back to,

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, some semblance of pre pandemic. You know, you

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 4>look at headline inflation levels, there were some stickier pieces

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.559
<v Speaker 4>of underlying inflation. But now that labor market adjustment looks

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 4>like it's happening more fully, you know, those pieces of

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 4>stickier inflation will will be trending back to target. And

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.600
<v Speaker 4>so when you kind of look around the economy, things look,

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, like they're getting back to some semblance of

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 4>normal after the unique set of shocks that we had

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 4>post pandemic. And I think the thing that's you know,

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 4>not as normal that really stands out, obviously is the

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 4>policy rate. You know, and obviously Federal Reserve officials understand

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 4>that Powe was very clear at Jackson Hole that they

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 4>are going to start that journey back to normal or

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 4>at least kind of what they think could be normal.

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 4>And you know, and the pace of that is really

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 4>going to depend on on the data from here, and

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, if we see economic weakness, then then they'll

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 4>go faster.

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany, I really appreciate that. I'm kind of situating it

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>in this in this moment of the way that we

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>had Brian Levitt doing it at Katie Kaminsky earlier in

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the show. This this notion that there has been this

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of post pandemic readjustment that might not be as

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 2>notable or as noticeable as the kind of initial adjustment

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>that we had. Where are we in this cycle, as

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you see it, when you look at what we're getting

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>in terms of inflation data, pulling back more broadly to

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>look at labor data as well, give us a sense

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>of where this economy is as you see it.

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I mean I think I think the labor

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 4>market data has has been you know, sort of confusing,

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 4>if you will, the usual sign in the labor market

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 4>of an underlying economy that's not doing well. I The

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 4>unemployment rate rising, I think is a bit of you

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 4>have to, you know, kind of dig into the drivers

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 4>of that indicator, because if you just looked at the

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 4>labor market and you looked at nothing else, you would

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 4>be incredibly worried about a recession. But if you look

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 4>at a broader range of indicators of the economy, it

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 4>looks like it's doing okay. Right, It's a soft landing

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 4>if anything. You know, the activity data, the growth data,

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 4>the GDP data have been coming in better than expected.

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 4>So I think you have to, you know, kind of

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 4>take a step back and you know, just again understand

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 4>that there's been a unique set of shocks since the pandemic.

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 4>It's made indicators, usual economic indicators, more difficult to read.

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 4>And I think the unemployment rate right now is one

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 4>of those things.

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, difficult to read. I'm sorry at a three

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>percent real GDP ending June thirty, I got a five

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and a half percent amateurs look at nominal GDP led

0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>by Newport Beach, California. I mean, Tiffany, we've been wrong, wrong, wrong,

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>on the resilience and spirit of America. When you sit

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>with cynics like Jerome Schneider and the other animals at

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>pimcoh are you trying to tell them it's not as

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>bad out there as your thing?

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 2>His words, not yours?

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I think the you know, I guess

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>the point that I would just really emphasize is that,

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, when you look at the labor market, the

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 4>things that have driven the unemployment rate higher this time

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 4>is more about labor supply. Obviously, over the last few years,

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 4>we've gotten a surge of immigration, and that has resulted

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 4>in a higher unemployment rate. Because you just have more

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 4>people in the labor force, you're not actually seeing layoffs now.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 4>I certainly we could start to see more material layoffs

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 4>across the economy, but you know, I would just say, overall,

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, the things still appear relatively strong, and usually

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>when you have labor supply gains you know that's actually

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 4>good for the economy. More people are consuming, where people

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 4>are working. It's not usually the time and where you're

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 4>going into recession.

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Tiffany Wedding, thank you so much, greatly appreciate it. This

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>morning here our team is just done a wonderful job.

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I can't really can't say enough about the intelligence of

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the conversation throughout all of this week, as we had

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Katherin Kaminsky in earlier with Elpha simplex, wicked, quantitative Massachusetts

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Institute of Technology think Andrew Lowe. She knows where epsilon is.

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Someone with the same prodigious chops is Cam Dawson new

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>edge that joins us right now, I think also with

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a much more almost barrens like focus on. Hey, here's

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the confidence to be in the market. Thrilled to have

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you here. Thank you for coming out on Friday, I

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>mean before Labor Day. I mean Tucker's working Monday.

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 5>You'd like to come in to wear my white last chest?

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Who are we were today?

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, it is this artorial hook slide of white into

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 5>the Labor day holiday.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Very good, good girl, serving lobster roles in the telecligt right, Yes,

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>our Kim Dawson, How do I have confidence to be

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>in the market. You're wonderful at this frame. The belief

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>construct to own equities now.

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 5>The belief construct is that the twelve month forward EPs

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 5>estimate continues to move higher in this market. And if

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 5>we look at over the last five years, that has

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 5>been the north star guiding light of what you do

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 5>with equities exactly, which is that as long as that

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 5>is lifting, then all of this volatility and oscillation that

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 5>we see in the short term should be something that

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 5>we can look through. Now, if that starts to level off,

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 5>meaning the growth rate and earnings starts to slow, that's

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 5>when you get a choppier, sideways market. We do think

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 5>that that's a risk for twenty twenty five, but not

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 5>something that necessarily says run for the hills, get out

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 5>of your equities, take big capital gains.

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>My theory on this is corporations adapt I think we're

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>seeing in spades, whether it's a resurrection, a Dell computer,

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, name whatever you want. I mean, you know,

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Intel with this huge news today from Bloomberg News that

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>they may do some form of grossery structuring as well.

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Day to day and new as are you seeing corporations adapt.

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I am.

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 5>They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 5>that is exactly what we think that we are seeing

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 5>given the fact that look at the backdrop of pricing power.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 5>If we go back to twenty and twenty one, you

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 5>had massive pricing power that allowed companies to raise prices

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 5>and that drove margin expansion. That's gone. Companies are no

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 5>longer able to push price to customers, which means that

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 5>they have to get margin expansion out of invention, out

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 5>of innovation, out of applying new technologies. Now, the challenge

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 5>we see in twenty five to get it back to

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 5>earnings is that you already have a big amount of

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 5>margin expansion priced in. So it just means that companies

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 5>have to deliver on those high expectations in order to

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 5>get to the fourteen percent growth that is projected.

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 2>One of the things I've learned on the show is

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 2>it's good to crib a question that Tom has asked

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>reword it's lately and put it to another guest, so

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll do that. We had Katie Kaminsky on. He asked

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>about if you can extrapolate any kind.

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Of bad about it. I used to do that with

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Ken would ask a question, and I would just reframe.

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Ken's questions made me look brilliant.

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Rephrasing it, reframing when you look at Nvidia, is there

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 2>any kind of trend that you can apply to that

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>or that you see? It's it's something of such focus.

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>What more can we make of that?

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>If anything?

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think Katie was so intelligent in talking about

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.679
<v Speaker 5>the parabolic move that you have seen in the stock,

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 5>which makes it really hard to sustain. The thing with

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 5>parabolic moves is that they can last longer than expected.

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 5>But as Walter Deemer says, when they go up in

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.439
<v Speaker 5>a straight line, they typically go down in a straight line.

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 5>So it's something that is hard from a trend basis.

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't remember two thousand, No wait, no one in

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the studio, no one in the controllero remembers two thousand.

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>That's why we're playing classic rock today. Don't play Journey today.

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Guy spit out his coffee yesterday when I played Journey. Cam.

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Journey's a band from California. Cam. I'm looking here in Wallydemer,

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, is a legend on this. But the answer

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>is Trees to the Sky nineteen ninety nine, two thousand

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>without profit. This time around, I got free cash flow.

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>That's a distinction you do.

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 5>But you always have to be aware of when stocks

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 5>are running ahead of what the earnings estimates have been

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 5>being revised higher themselves. So if you look at a

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 5>name like Nvidia in prior reports, each time that they

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 5>would report, the forward guidance would go up by thirty

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 5>cents or forty cents. This time is about five cents.

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 5>Is that the end of the world. No, But it

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 5>does mean that we should probably lower expectations for the

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 5>pace of returns simply because the pace of earnings revisions

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 5>higher are starting to slow. The issue would be if

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 5>the stock keeps going up even as earnings slow down

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 5>and the revision's higher, that's when you get the trees

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 5>growing to the sky. The issues with valuations being part.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Too stretched at this point in the earning season. Are

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 2>we talking too much or focusing too much on tech?

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>What else is sort of drawing your attention or what

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 2>is tech to strategy?

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>If I apologize, it's such a Brooklyn question, curious only people.

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's go lade, let's go old school what sector?

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 5>But see I speak that language, So I think that

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 5>the interesting thing about this earning season is the reaction

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 5>of the stocks, and the backdrop is that we've seen

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 5>some of this weakness and tech start to build. Tech

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 5>treated below its fifty day moving average yesterday. It's been

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 5>deteriorating on a relative basis. What's been winning the four

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 5>ninety three the equal weight index. So if we look

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 5>at earning sestiments going into twenty twenty five, what you

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 5>can see is the mag seven is expected to decelerate

0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 5>a lot, but the overall market is expected to accelerate,

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 5>which effectively says the four ninety three is about to

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 5>have to carry all of that weight in the earnings growth.

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>In conservative three year short term money, what we call

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>retirement plans, are I more index or more active? Right now?

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 5>I think you have to be both. It's not a

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 5>black or white. It's a sliding scale. In indices that

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 5>are highly concentrated, it does not pay you to pay

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 5>for active management. In indices that have a great deal

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.359
<v Speaker 5>of dispersion, you can pay for active.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 1>NASA industries give me an example.

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 5>So the difference between the growth sector and things like

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 5>small cap and international in value, we think that there's

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 5>a lot more opportunity to outperform and get alpha in

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 5>those industries small cap international value where you have a

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 5>lot more dispersion between winners and losers.

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>When you're great at this will internationally get a jumpstart

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>off legitimate week dollar.

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 5>It has been in a relative down trend for the

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 5>past fifty years. The week dollar is an absolute necessity

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 5>for international to be able to outperform. The only time

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 5>you've had big international bull markets is in big dollar

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.439
<v Speaker 5>bear markets. The only problem is that it has to

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 5>translate to earnings. The most fascinating stat is that if

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 5>you look from two thousand and seven to today, US

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 5>earnings and the S and P five hundred are up

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and fifty percent. International EFA Index they're flat.

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.919
<v Speaker 5>The Emerging Market Index they're still down versus two thousand

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 5>and seven. It's an earning story, not evaluation story.

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.199
<v Speaker 2>Questioned, let me go back to today's data. We go

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>to today's data, to what you heard at Jackson Hole.

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>This is a FED that has been for these last

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 2>few years so united. There has been such unanimity. Do

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you sense that the remarks that we heard from FED

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 2>chair Jerom Powell are widely shared? What are you listening

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 2>for in the commentary that we're going to get before

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 2>this meeting on the sixteenth and seventies.

0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Did you see what she wrote? Did you see your research? Phiao.

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>John Farrell introduced me to Love Island and the British

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Love Island is different. Love Island. No pharaoh taught me

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>in ninety day five fiance or something farah all this

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>garbage from London. Pharaoh introduced me to. And so cam

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have Love Island, She's got doug Island, Dove Island. Yeah,

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and that j.

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Powell may be the only bombshell on Dove Island. It's

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 5>really interesting. The one word missing from that Jackson Hole

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 5>speech was patience. And that's the one word you've heard

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 5>from every other FED voting member, which just means that

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 5>Powell is thinking I could do fifty other voting members

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 5>are saying no, slow and steady twenty five basis points

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 5>more evidence, we can take our time.

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Kim Dawson, thank you so much. Now as here justin

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.479
<v Speaker 1>sink is going? Why am I here? Futures up twenty

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>six off of the news PCE ebbed a little way,

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>still up seventeen. Nasdak was up eight tenths of a percent.

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Now up seven tenths of a percent. He is our

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>White House correspondent, and it is things have changed. Justin

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>sink joins us right now. Justin what has changed? It's

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think there's a lot of changes, both, you know,

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 6>at the White House itself and in the race overall.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 6>So you know, at the White House it's a completely

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 6>different posture from just five weeks ago when Joe Biden

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.679
<v Speaker 6>dropped out. There's been significant staff turnover as people exit

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 6>to either find outside opportunities or go join sort of

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 6>super packs and affiliates. The President himself has been on

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.440
<v Speaker 6>vacation now, this is his second straight week. I don't

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 6>know if he's seen any whale so unfortunately, but he

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 6>is just kind of scaled back as cadence overall, and

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 6>I think it's it's mostly because they're trying to stay

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.399
<v Speaker 6>out of the way of Kamala Harris. And as you know,

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 6>Bloomberg Swing State pole that came out today showed it's working.

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, it was a sort of undeniably great poll

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 6>for Kamala Harris shows her sustaining and building on that

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 6>momentum that she got from taking over the ticket from

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 6>Biden and now has either a tire or lead in

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 6>all the major swing states. So at the White House,

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.439
<v Speaker 6>I think a lot of what they're trying to do

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.600
<v Speaker 6>is just bolster her where they can, but otherwise stan out.

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 4>Of the way.

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Justin you mentioned that, Cadence, and I wanted to ask

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 2>you about President Biden's ambitions and watching that conversation last

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 2>night between the vice president and her running mate and

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Dana Bash of CNN, there was a lot of due

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 2>deference too in mentioning of the current president. What are

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 2>his aspirations going for? Is once he gets back from

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.120
<v Speaker 2>this vacation, gets back from California, comes to the East

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>coast again, what does he hope to accomplish? How clearly

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 2>articulated is that mission or that vision by the White House?

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think there's a couple elements to it. One

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 6>is sort of legacy protection. I think the president is

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.920
<v Speaker 6>going to go out and make the case for why

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 6>his first term was success, even though it's something that

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 6>voters don't necessarily agree with. And there's two reasons for that.

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.640
<v Speaker 6>One is obviously self interested, with the other is because

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 6>it helps Kamala Harris and you heard her in that

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:05.880
<v Speaker 6>interview last night.

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Sort of.

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 6>She didn't back away from the economy. She didn't back

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 6>away from the way that he's conducted foreign policy, and

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 6>foreign policy is probably the second major focus for the

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 6>president right now. The sort of hostage sees fire deal

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.120
<v Speaker 6>in the Middle East is the last big legacy item

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 6>sitting there, and I think that's going to be a

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 6>big focus for him, especially as he might ramp up

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 6>some farewell foreign travel in the last few weeks.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, justin Sink with us right now. David Wasserman to

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 1>be with us here later on in the hour, wrapped

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.400
<v Speaker 1>her on some good equity coverage futures at sixteen, I'm

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>asking a question to both you. I want two answers.

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Justin Sink David Gura. Are you supposed to campaign on policy?

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 2>David Gurra, Yes, although there is this kind of moved

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 2>to the middle as we talked about a little bit

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 2>of relier.

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Campaign on policy, it was the whole crime thing, you know,

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what he knew we'd get votes.

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>This is such a strange campaig in so many ways.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Obviously paramount in the sense that it's moving very quickly

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 2>here and it's a very short, compressed campaign and so

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>we've seen the Harris campaign putting out more policy positions,

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, policy papers, but more definition. There

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>there has to be a nod to policy. And herein

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>lies the trickiness of this campaign. The Democratic campaign is

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 2>differentiating itself, at least somewhat from the incumbent president.

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>So justin sink, you're a Chicago buried in American politics

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and government, you're studying this in the old days. Did

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.919
<v Speaker 1>they talk policy in a campaign? I would suggest they didn't.

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 6>And I think that as much as you know, Bloomberg

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 6>readers and listeners want to hear about Vice President Harris's policy,

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 6>that's not what that campaign is really interesting forward. And

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 6>they just keep hammering the idea of joy and of change,

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:53.440
<v Speaker 6>and it's you know, it's not different from hope and

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 6>change that we had with Barack Obama. There's policy under

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 6>underpinning that they've made a push on housing, they've made

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.439
<v Speaker 6>a push on helping the middle class address some costs.

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 6>But genuinely, what they're trying to present the American people

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.959
<v Speaker 6>is this idea that hey, we are turning the page

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 6>on a decade and a half era of Donald Trump

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 6>and Joe Biden, that you've frankly grown tired of Justin.

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:17.679
<v Speaker 2>When I look at that polling that you mentioned a

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 2>moment ago, Yes, the headline numbers are astonishing how well

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the Vice president has carried that momentum forward. But I

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>looked deeper at some of these issues, and I think

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the thing that surprised me the most, and I imagine

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 2>delights the Harris campaign, is what they hope would come

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to pass. That is, Vice President Harris could campaign on

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the economy and voters would, if not forget, seemingly forgive

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the fact that she has been part of this administration

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 2>in the White House. You look at sort of how

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 2>they feel about inflation, how they feel about the economy.

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 2>They're giving her, maybe not a pass, but more of

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 2>one than they were giving President Biden when he was

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 2>running for reelection.

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:55.160
<v Speaker 1>For sure.

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 6>I mean on the question of housing, which is obviously

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 6>a key issue on a big struggle for Biden. They

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 6>give Harris a four point advantage over Trump. There's a

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 6>seven point advantage on who helps the middle class mark,

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 6>And it really suggests that that people are willing to

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 6>sort of put it all aside and say Harris we

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 6>see as a totally different candidate even if she's continuing

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 6>to champion a lot of his policies.

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm going to ask the question everybody wants to know.

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what your politics are, John, how many

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>polls released in the last twenty four hours.

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Like eight, I think about six hundred poles.

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Poles in August.

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 2>That's within the marches.

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 1>They're holed out. I mean, I'm sorry, great polls, love

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>what Iowa does, love what Bloomberg does. They're all great.

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you actually study the polls or are they just

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>noise to a pro like justin.

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 6>Sinc Well, I think, to me, the biggest question is,

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, are we in a honeymoon or not?

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 6>A lot of the poles are saying the same thing

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 6>right now. But Kamala Harris is coming off of a

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 6>convention that was really great. And while these poles are good,

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 6>they're not runaway.

0:24:58.160 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 4>And so.

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 6>You got to really put a grain of salt in

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 6>all of this, which is where within the margin of

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 6>earon you know, nearly all of these things and this

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 6>rais is going to go down to a razor's edge.

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.160
<v Speaker 6>So while it's you know, you'd rather be harrassed than

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 6>Trump right now, I don't think anybody is kind of

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 6>saying that this thing's over justin thank.

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:18.719
<v Speaker 1>You so much, justin sink at the White House, and

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I should say it our news bureau in Washington. Victoria

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Fernandez knows this. She's with Crossmark Global Investments and she's

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:38.199
<v Speaker 1>joining us in the studio because it's cooler in New

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>York than absolutely tea. Thank you so much for joining today.

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Is the battle one on inflation? And if you have disinflation,

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>does that mean earnings are worth more?

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:53.679
<v Speaker 7>Well, I don't know if I would say the battle

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 7>is one on inflation. I think we're heading that way.

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 7>I know, you know, Powell has come out and said,

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:01.880
<v Speaker 7>look where we think we're done there, and they're moving

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 7>on looking at the labor market. But there's a lot

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 7>of underlying elements and inflation that I think can still

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 7>hold us up towards this three percent level. I don't

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.439
<v Speaker 7>think it's going to go away as quickly as the

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:16.439
<v Speaker 7>Feds anticipating. So when we look at the idea of

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:19.239
<v Speaker 7>one hundred basis points cut from now through the end

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.679
<v Speaker 7>of the year, I think that's a little optimistic. I

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 7>think we may see fewer than that because there are

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 7>other elements in.

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>The Bob Doll Victoria Fernandez world. My money question is simple,

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>what are your clients doing? Not the talk of strategy,

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:38.399
<v Speaker 1>but what is the xuberance there? Have we reached a

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>bull market silly season?

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.639
<v Speaker 7>You know, it's interesting earlier people were talking about the

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 7>sixty to forty portfolio, and I will tell you that

0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 7>is what we have seen coming in from our clients.

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 7>More than anything. They want that balance strategy. They're not

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 7>exactly sure what's going to happen with all of the

0:26:55.400 --> 0:27:00.120
<v Speaker 7>uncertainties that we have, whether it's here domestically, whether it's geopolitics,

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 7>whether it's inflation. The concerns about the consumer having that

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 7>diversification in their portfolio is what they want with a

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 7>little bit of extra kick on something. So maybe that's

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 7>a covered call strategy, Maybe that's a little bit of

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 7>a long short component. They want to be invested in

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 7>the market, which we agree with, but they want to

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:19.959
<v Speaker 7>be a little bit cautious. So they've been listening to

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:21.120
<v Speaker 7>what we've been telling them.

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Triage those risks for us. They come to you worried

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:27.639
<v Speaker 2>about all those many things, what's happening overseas, inflation, the election,

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>what have you how do you rate all of that?

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:31.879
<v Speaker 2>What do you see of those risks as being the

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.640
<v Speaker 2>one that you know is something that should strike fear

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 2>in investors right.

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 7>Now, It's going to take turns, right There's going to

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.479
<v Speaker 7>be different elements that kind of rear its head at

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 7>different point in time. Obviously as we get closer to

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.160
<v Speaker 7>the election, that's going to cause more volatility in this market.

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 7>The thing we have to look at there is, you know,

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 7>you have to have to have a lot of these

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 7>things passed. We have to have a government that changes dramatically.

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 7>I'm not sure a lot of it will come to fruition.

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 7>So what we're looking at is more when it comes

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 7>to the consumer component. We think that's key to this market,

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:05.359
<v Speaker 7>the labor market and the consumer. We got the spending

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 7>and income numbers today again, we have spending almost double

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 7>in a percentage basis. What income is. That does not

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 7>bode well as credit card delinquencies go higher, as savings

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 7>rates go down, as wages stagnate, as job losses increase.

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 7>So to us, that's what we're most worried about.

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Victoria Fernandez driving the market higher, up eight tens of

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a percent of the Dow, up one hundred and thirty

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:32.400
<v Speaker 1>two points. It's like the ascendants of the Houston Astros.

0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 7>There's just nothing better right now at.

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>The time of year it gets under eighty degrees in

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Houston and the astrostar.

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 7>Technecy the that start flying, the.

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Bet start flying. My good friend Jim Kramer and I

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 1>agree that the fact is on stocks, if you're lucky,

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty percent of stocks at any given time are doing well.

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Within financial wealth management, are you focused on owning the

0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty percent and not owning the seventy How do you

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 1>how do you try to find excellence in alpha in

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the winners that are there.

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 7>So it really comes from that fundamental analysis that we do.

0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 7>We're not looking so much at trends as looking really

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 7>at what do the cash flows look like on these companies.

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 7>You know Bob and how he likes to dig down underneath, right,

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 7>We want to look at persistence of earnings, predictability of earnings.

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:23.720
<v Speaker 7>These are the companies we like. So do we aim

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 7>towards certain sectors? Sure, right now we're looking at healthcare.

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 7>We've been investing in financials. These things have done well

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 7>for us. But within those sectors, even within staples, you

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 7>want to look at those companies that have that stability

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 7>that can continue to generate good returns during volatility. So

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 7>that's where we focus looking at those underlying factors.

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 2>What is your takeaway from what we've seen with video

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 2>this week? And again I just remark on and laugh

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 2>at the way that those results were characterized, that you

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 2>could call that kind of underwhelming or not what the

0:29:56.360 --> 0:30:00.240
<v Speaker 2>market wanted. What's your perspective on that, and and what

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 2>takeaway can we can we take from that? Just about

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:05.479
<v Speaker 2>the way that we look at the performance of companies

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and their projections going forward.

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 7>So we've been a little different than probably most people

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 7>out on the street where we've been trimming those high

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 7>growth tech names all year long, anticipating that at some

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 7>point you're not going to continue to grow at four

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 7>hundred percent year over year, right, so you can still

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 7>have great numbers and the trend be slowing. And that's

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 7>what we saw with in videos. So I was a

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 7>little surprised that the market reacted the way it did.

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 7>I mean, still solid numbers there, but what it tells

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 7>us is the breadth is growing. We've all been waiting

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 7>for that all year to have that breadth in the market.

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 7>We're seeing it in stock prices, I want to see

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 7>it in earnings.

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Fideli out with the number of millionaire or four oh

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 1>one k. How do you do you manage a million

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:50.080
<v Speaker 1>dollar foural one k differently than one hundred and fifty

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars four one k? Are they all those same?

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 7>You're not going to manage it differently. In the idea

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 7>of where you want to allocate your resources based on

0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 7>the macro that's out there, your strategy will be the same.

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 7>Can you have a little more diversification, yes. Can you

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 7>maybe add a couple extra elements of something into that

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 7>portfolio to juice income a little bit, Yes, you can

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 7>do that. But from the one hundred thousand foot level, yeah,

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 7>you're investing the same.

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Houston overweight energy. It's genetic. Victoria Fernandez on energy.

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 7>Look, energy has been struggling. We know it's one of

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 7>the sectors that has not been doing as well. Even

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 7>though you look at balance sheets, you've got some strong

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 7>balance sheets there, there's some cash there. They're waiting, right,

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 7>They want to know what policy is going to look

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 7>like going forward before they jump in and put a

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.120
<v Speaker 7>lot of capex to work. If you take tech out

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 7>of the equation CAPEX is actually coming down. Some of

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 7>that has to do with the energy companies. We anticipate

0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 7>seeing that turn, so we think you need to have

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 7>some exposure, probably go for some of those big integrated names.

0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 7>At this point, I get.

0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 1>One more question or Michael Barr's got to get in

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 1>here and do the news. Victoria Fernandez, can I do

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a major shout out to Texas A and M with

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the only real football game wow this weekend? Notre Dame

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Texas A and M. I mean, we're hit. Brian Lebanon

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>from Michigan.

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Who are they playing with?

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 1>You'd figure Texas A and M would be playing you know,

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the Teachers College of Louisiana or whatever. I don't know, Victoria,

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that's very cool. Yeah, see Notre Dame playing Texas A

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and M is like, what's a Texas spirit?

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 7>That's exactly right.

0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go Aggie's We're gonna have to say, give me

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 1>an oil price here, cross Mark. You guys live this stuff.

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Brent Crude West Texas Intermediate.

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:37.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, look.

0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Stability or higher.

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:40.760
<v Speaker 7>I think it's going to go a little bit higher,

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 7>but not tremendously. We're not looking at one hundred dollars

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 7>coming in. Do we go around eighty and stay there

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 7>because of geopolitical reasons, we can, but I also don't

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:51.960
<v Speaker 7>think we're going to go too much. Lower demand is

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 7>still there, there's still some supply concerns, so I think

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 7>you'll be pretty steady around the eighty level.
