Speaker 1: This week on the show, Well, it was actually pretty

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: easy to make money in the stock market last year,

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: what with the SMP five hundred up about in the year. However,

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily easy to beat it by seven percentage points.

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: But our guests this week did exactly that with a

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: core mutual fund he co manages, ranking it in the

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: top two or three percent of pure funds. It is

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: a different story, and the market is off to an

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: ugly start to the year, So we're gonna find out

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: what a winning fund manager does at a time of

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: turbulence like this. But philled out Before we get to that,

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: I gotta say, um, my teenage daughters have a new

Speaker 1: Are you familiar with that word suss like suss out? No,

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: it's suss. I think it's like suspicious. No, I'm not,

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it. What is it? Well, I

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: gotta say, uh, your a little suss to me, and

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. You want to know why? Yeah,

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: I do. You're from Trenton, right near the border of Pennsylvania,

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: less than an hour from Philadelphia. You should be an

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Eagles fan and should be somehow you're a Buffalo Bills fan.

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: That's that's sussed to me. I see, okay, now makes sense.

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: I am. I've been to Eagles games, so forgive me

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: because I know you like the Eagles. Admit you admit

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: to be in suss Yeah, I admit to it. But

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: it's so easy to like the Bills because they've been

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: so great this year, and they have another game coming

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: up this weekend, and if any of them are listening,

32
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I really need them to be at their very best.

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: So all the Buffalo Bills out there, don't eat pizza

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: the night before, go to sleep early. I have a

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: little Josh Allen statue that we like. No pizza for them, No, no, no, no,

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: I need them to be tip top shape. How about

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: buffalo wings? Can they eat buffalo wings as long as

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't give them heartburn? All right? Well, I gotta

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: say this, This market this year has given a lot

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: of heartburn left and right, and uh, hopefully our guest

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: has had his tumbs. Let's let's see what he has

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: to say about this ugly starts of the year. Yeah.

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: I want to welcome back Andrew Slimmon. He is a

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management. And Andrew,

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for coming back on the

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: show again. Thanks for having me. And I did go

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: to University of Pennsylvania, so I spent a few daimes

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: going to see the Eagles play. That's good. That's that's

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: why we like him here. I know we already got

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: you're making Mike's hearts, already got his cheese steak recommendation too.

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I think last time and it was it was Abner's right,

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: is alright? You have a good memory, I'd say, well

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: for for certain things like cheese steaks. You know you

54
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: gotta see the important things. Well, Andrew, I know you

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: you had said recently that two is going to be

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: a tug of war between two things. One is the

57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: removal of fed accommodation, which is parished, and then continued

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: strength of the economy as earnings continued to surprise to

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the upside. It's been a few months since the last

60
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: time you were on the show. So I was hoping

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: you could walk us through what you're anticipating for this

62
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: year and tell us whether or not the first few

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: weeks of the year are going to be a bit

64
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: emblematic of what's to come, because that's something I hear

65
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: a lot from people, and that you know, we've seen

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: this choppiness and it's something we can continue to see

67
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: throughout the year. Yeah, So I always cringe when I

68
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: hear someone say, hey, I think the market is going

69
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: to be a you know, kind of five to ten

70
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: because on the surface, that's like it's reasonable, but it's optimistic,

71
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: so it's like it checks all the nice little pretty boxes, right.

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: So five. The reality is, if you go back to

73
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: nineteen since nine, there's only been all eleven times the

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: market has been up zero to ten percent, So it's rare,

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: very rare, even though more times enough people kind of

76
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: predict single digit, high single digit returns. So I'm all, like,

77
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm squeamish even saying that. But having said that, now

78
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to counterdict. I felt there seems to be

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: precedent for this type of return in this year, and

80
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you go back to last year two

81
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty one last year, the return was very

82
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: consistent with what I would call the second year coming

83
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: out of a bear market low. So if twenty was

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: the first year and we had a very strong year

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: off below, if you look at that second year, whether

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: it was last year or two thousand ten or two

87
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: thousand three or those years are always very very strong.

88
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: And I think there's two and I'm getting to your question.

89
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: There's two reasons for that. Number One is, obviously you

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: have very accommodative FED policy because they're still in the

91
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: mode of trying to fix the problem that caused the recession,

92
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: so you have very commonive FED policy. But then you

93
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: also have a combination of a situation where corporate earnings

94
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: are very strong because corporations tighten their belt cut expenses

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: into recession. So you have this big explosion in margins

96
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: to the upside and earnings growth, and Wall Street unfortunately

97
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: gets too pessimistic during recession, so they're kind of behind

98
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: the curve and so they have to revise up. And

99
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: so that's the whole story of last year, is that

100
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: the stock market was up as much as earnings revisions,

101
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: so to the extent that we had a very good

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: year we followed earnings revisions. Now when you move into

103
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: getting to this this year, then if last year was

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: so consistent, then what what kind of happens in the

105
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: third year after a you know, kind of that low

106
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: and in the third year, whether it was ninety two,

107
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: two thousand four, two thousand eleven, you see these kind

108
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: of this single digit type returns. They're not negative, but

109
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 1: they're not better than that, because, as you said with Donna,

110
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: you have a battle. The battle is is that you

111
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: continue to have strong earnings and revisions. And I think

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: corporate bounciets are very strong. Consumer bounciets are very strong.

113
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: So I'm very confident in this this continued strong corporate fundamentals.

114
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: But the Fed's not as much as your friend. And

115
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: so i'd like to say the FEDS pivoting from they're

116
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: not your enemy, but they're not their friend. You're they're

117
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: not your friend anymore, they're more your acquaintance. And so

118
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of the battle, and that's why you get

119
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: kind of single digit returns. The other thing that is

120
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: consistent is that we're going into a mid term election year,

121
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: and if you look at the four year election cycle,

122
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: the mid term year is a single digit year. So

123
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: this leads me to believe that it's a you know,

124
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay year. But the problem is the

125
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: problem is, I mean, how many days in the market's open,

126
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: you know what, two fifty plus days a year. In

127
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: any one day, it could swing one or two. But

128
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's a lot of volatility around a single

129
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: digit year. And so we're not gonna We're gonna be

130
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: too far above it and too far behind behind that.

131
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: I just think when we get to December thirty one,

132
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: if we're talking on December thirty one, it's gonna be like, Wow,

133
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as it felt at times. I

134
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: just and that, And so so that leads me to say,

135
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: don't get too optimistic when things are really good, and

136
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: don't get too pessimistic when things are kind of bad.

137
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm not sure it's real bad yet, but

138
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: we're you know, we're down a little bit. Yeah, you know,

139
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Andre uh, you know, Danna mentioned the sort of the

140
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: talking points you said to us, and I want to

141
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: seize on one a little bit too, because I think

142
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: it really gets to the heart of what's on a

143
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: lot of people's minds, right now, and I'm just gonna

144
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: quote what you wrote to us. He said, avoid the

145
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: temptation to step in and buy into the sell off

146
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: in high growth stocks. And you say, my experience is

147
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: once the fever breaks, it's done for quite a while.

148
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: And you know, boy, the fever shure has broken, uh,

149
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, in that space. But I want to I

150
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: want to dissect that that statement in a few different ways,

151
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: if if Phildonna will indulge me some follow ups, I

152
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: won't hit you with eight questions at once, but the

153
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: first one being, you know, historically, are there any sort

154
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: of precedence you could point to? Who I mean, is

155
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: it too simple to point at the dot Com deflation

156
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: of that bubble as as something to expect in the

157
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: high growth area this year? Or is that sort of

158
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, a fair comparison, if not quite the peak

159
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: to trough type of of dip that we saw, uh

160
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: something perhaps that long and that sort of dramatic uh

161
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: where with you know, you know, the high growth stocks

162
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: really just get taken as the woodshed for longer than

163
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: anyone really saw coming. Yeah. So first of all, I

164
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: just want to make sure it's understood I'm not a

165
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: value manager or a growth manager. So I got No,

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to you know, spin you know, kind

167
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: of what works or where my my investment philosophy at

168
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: all times. I'm just I'm just looking at what the

169
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: fat pitches and as it pertains this group. The reason

170
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: why I believe once the fever breaks, it lasts a

171
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: long time is if you wind the clock back, you know,

172
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: if you look at some of these uber growth funds,

173
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: they're back to where they were in early fall of

174
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty, and that means a lot of people

175
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: haven't made money, right because they chased into them after

176
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: they peaked. And the reason why the dot com anal

177
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: g is correct is that that means that every time

178
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: they start to go up, there's someone that can get

179
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: out even and so there's tremendous selling resistance at higher

180
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: levels because so many people have lost money. And that

181
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: to me is very similar to you know, the dot

182
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: com bubble, but other bubbles, is that once a very

183
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: speculative bubble breaks, it doesn't it's not a v bottom

184
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: because there's too many people looking to get out and

185
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: want to get out. So I think that that's you know,

186
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: that's that's the point. There is that I and you said, well,

187
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: maybe not analogous because it hasn't gone down as much.

188
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: And I would say yet, but now at what cohort

189
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: would you look at? You? I mean, could you see

190
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the NASTAC one hundred going going down as much as it?

191
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Then we're more like catty Wood type of fund, uh something.

192
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: I think there's a yeah, that's the big difference to

193
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: two thousand. In two thousand, the NASDACK was trading at

194
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: you know, you had you had obscene prices, but you

195
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: also had some of these very big cap tech stocks.

196
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: They're trading at triple digit multiples. And when I look

197
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: at these uber bro stocks, they're as expensive as they

198
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: were in two thousands. But the megacap tech stocks, the

199
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Nasdaq one hundred, the big stocks, they're not as expensive.

200
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: So I I don't think the you know, the NAZAC

201
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: break up two thousand is quite accurate because I don't

202
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: think the really big tech stocks are as vulnerable. They're

203
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: multiples are not you know, not as expensive. So I

204
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: don't think you'll see you know, those stocks, you know,

205
00:11:48,880 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: they're not as vulnerable. Once the guy we stink along

206
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: these lines though, is that there's something in human nature.

207
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: I think that is always going to make that instinct

208
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: to chase the high flyers come back at some point. Uh,

209
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: you agree, right, as simple as that, But is there?

210
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what would the conditions you would look for

211
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: to be in place to sort of bring that trade back,

212
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether it be the sort of high flyers

213
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: of the past couple of years or whatever. We're on

214
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: two by the time that that sentiment comes back, is

215
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: it is as simple as sort of a economic growth

216
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: normalization and or and or the FED being done tightening. Uh,

217
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: we'll take more than that, you think, Well, I think

218
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: it's first selling exhaustion, where stocks stop going down on

219
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: bad news because there's no one left about them, right,

220
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: there's no one left to sell them. And I'm just

221
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: not sure we're there yet. I don't. I haven't seen

222
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: big capitulation. I mean, the stocks are down a lot,

223
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: but but there hasn't been big capitulation these socks. And

224
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: I get too many people like. The other way I

225
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: think about it, Mike, is when no one believes that

226
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: they can buy the dip anymore. That's when the bottom happens.

227
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: Right when people say I don't want to touch them.

228
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, these are these are these are you know, uninvestable.

229
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: That's what I get interested. But when people are just saying, hey,

230
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: what do you think? You know, because the memory of

231
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: making a lot of money is too recent, and that

232
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: leads people to try to bottom fish. And so I've

233
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: been in this business a long time. Human behavior doesn't change.

234
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: And so always when you when this type of bubble breaks,

235
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: you get counter trend rallies and they go up a

236
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: little bit and then they go down low, and then

237
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: they go up and then they go down and tell

238
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: people say, don't ask me any more thing more about it.

239
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it. I'm moving on.

240
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: And then I got, oh, that's kind of interesting. That

241
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: means maybe they're they're getting to a bottom. So I

242
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: think that's the first thing. And yeah, when the FED

243
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: pivots the way we're there, pivoting grows stocks don't do

244
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: as well. The FED is moving off ultra accomminative and

245
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: grows stocks in general, you know, struggle, And so I

246
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: think that also is an issue. Um, could could the

247
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: FED take a breather? I think we've gone from no

248
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: one believing rates to go up in inflation to now

249
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: inflation and higher rates seems to be consensus, which leads

250
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: me to believe, well, maybe later this year the FED

251
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: will pause and maybe gross stocks will come back. I'm

252
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: just not sure these these high, very high octane gross

253
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: socks will will come back, but I wouldn't be surprised

254
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: as some of the you know, these NAZAC hundred stocks,

255
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: they could come back to life if in fact the

256
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: FED pauses. I wasn't sure if I can jump in

257
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: with a question of Mike had ten more. But Mike

258
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: did mention at the top of the show that one

259
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: of your funds was up year, and I think everybody

260
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: at home is just wondering what exactly you might be

261
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: favoring this year, what you might recommend to them, and

262
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: where they should be and how they should be positioning

263
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: as the year unfolds. So the reason why we had

264
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: a good year last year is simply that we played

265
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the playbook. The playbook is is that when you're coming

266
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: out of recessions, cyclical stocks do well, right because in recessions,

267
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: people you know, sell anything that's economically sensitive and they

268
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: hold on the things that they perceive is not economically sensors.

269
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: So the spread between the cyclical stocks and the non

270
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: cyclical stocks gets extreme and boil boy, did it really

271
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: get extreme? Allah all our conversations so far by the

272
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: second half of two thousand twenty. So it was kind

273
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: of a fat pitch to own, you know, kind of

274
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: financials in energy stocks. This you know in two thousand,

275
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: in in twenty one, and so that, you know work.

276
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: The other thing that really worked is just listening to

277
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: company and follow earnings. Now, just to be clear, earnings

278
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: growth doesn't drive stock prices, it's surprises, right. A stock

279
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: price embeds all future expectations. So if companies are doing

280
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: better than what is expected, they go up, and if

281
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: they if they don't, then they're not doing as well,

282
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: they go down, you know. And that's a very simple rule.

283
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: But so I believe in okay, company reports, what is

284
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: what was there the outlook? Did they exceeded or beat it?

285
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: And I don't mean just quarter lits quarter because that's

286
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: too short term, but over time. And so I think

287
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: that that really work last year, and I think it'll

288
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: work this year as well, And so I think we're

289
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: into an environment So going into this year, I think

290
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: we're an environment where central bank policy is willing to

291
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: accept higher levels of inflation for faster growth that will

292
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: lead to more age growth. Now, right now, the FED

293
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: is starting to pivot a little bit because real wages

294
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: aren't going up. Real wages so after you know, that's

295
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: after inflation, So I think they're gonna make a move

296
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: to kind of bring down inflation. But I think we're

297
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: moving into an environment we're gonna have higher growth at

298
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: the expense of higher inflation, and that's an environment where

299
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: you want to own some value stacks. Again, I'm not

300
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: saying throw away all your growth socks and buy all value,

301
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: because I believe in technology long term, but I do

302
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: think that we're we've come out of a decade of

303
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: slow growth and we're moving into a faster growth environment,

304
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: and I think you want to own a few more

305
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: value socks. And I don't think this year will be

306
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: any different than last year. Andrew, you sent us a

307
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: list of a couple of stocks that you really like,

308
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: and I think it was Google, Microsoft, and Danahert. I

309
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: was wondering if you could maybe walk us through why

310
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: you like these picks in particular. Yeah, our biggest overweights

311
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: are financials, reads, and energy stocks. The however of that

312
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: is those stocks are red hot right now. They're really hot.

313
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: Their financials and energy have done really well this year.

314
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: So I think we're into an environment where you have

315
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: to be careful going into earning season, given how strong

316
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: they've been. And so I'm just a little bit wary

317
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: of owning those stocks, you know, or or or buying

318
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: those stocks right here. And again, those growth stocks haven't

319
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: done as well. Microsoft, Google Data they have done as

320
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: well because they're not the hot stocks right now, and

321
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: those companies are reporting very good earnings. Yeah, and I

322
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you also about sort of the other

323
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: debate that always comes up this time of years, you know,

324
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: US versus the rest of the world. Correct me if

325
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm being too simplistic about this, but you know, you say,

326
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: you're not a value where a growth guy. I tend

327
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: to think of the US market is relatively a growth index,

328
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: as a is more of a growth index. The rest

329
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: of the world as more of a value index, which

330
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, and perhaps more of a cyclical index too,

331
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: you know. Is that too simplistic to think about it,

332
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: or is you know, and especially to make the leap

333
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: to think that rest of the world might outperform the

334
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: US this year. No, I think well, as it pertains

335
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: to Europe and Japan, You're dead on right, Mike. They

336
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: are more cyclical in nature. So to make a big

337
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: allocation to those markets, you have to believe that they

338
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: are cyclically economically going to see real acceleration, or at

339
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: my juncture, I think about in terms of our cyclical

340
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: stocks in Europe going to be a better investment than

341
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, cyclical value stocks in the US. And I've

342
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: always come back to the fact that I'd rather own

343
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: banks in the US than in Europe. I'd rather own

344
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: industrial socks in the U in US than in Europe.

345
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: So that's always led me to have a little bit

346
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: more of a US bias globally. Now having said that,

347
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: that's not the case in Asia. Okay, Asia, ex Japan.

348
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of growth stocks e m did

349
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: not do well last year, right, and it's because of China,

350
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: It's because of the dollar, and I think some of

351
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: that might actually reverse this year. So I think growth

352
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: stocks in Asia might be the big winners this year.

353
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: So it's not just but your right to accept the

354
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Europe and Japan are cyclical in nature. Well, I think

355
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: what he's saying is European banks are susus. I'll have

356
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: to incorporate that one into my Dy've long been sus

357
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: that their sus since I've proven otherwise, I think probably Mike,

358
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: you and I aren't cool enough to make that word.

359
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: I know I'm trying. I'm trying hard, but yeah, I

360
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: can tell well I and I'll say this without listing names,

361
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: but whenever it as well. I like Europe more than US.

362
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: I said it, would you sell your US bank and buy,

363
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, a French bank or are you gonna sell

364
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: your U s acid management firm? And bias with I'm

365
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: just not you know when it let's send me the

366
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: personal trade confirmation when I've done that in your personal account,

367
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: And I think because I just think it sounds really

368
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: great at the high level, but I'm not a strategis

369
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I have a portfolio manager. I'd have to actually pull

370
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: the trigger and do that, and I just think that's

371
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: tough to do. Yeah. Yeah, when you can't find the

372
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: actual names execute a theme on, I guess is the

373
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 1: you know it's the problem. And angel what about the

374
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: small cap space because another bank earlier this week actually

375
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: gave up their call on small caps all performing. I

376
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: was looking at the Russell two thousand, it's down something

377
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: like seven. A bunch of the names in the Russell

378
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: two thousand are down like thirty forty or more. So

379
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what you make of the small cap space,

380
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: you know looks. First of all, I'm not you know,

381
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: my benchmarks are SMP and mc I world, So I'm

382
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: not a small cap manager. I'm not the right person

383
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: to ask about that, and I don't. We don't delve

384
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: into that, not only because it's the off benchmark, but also,

385
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: and this gets more you know, philosophical. I don't have

386
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: a problem with passive investing. I really don't, because my

387
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: response is, hey, if you want to get market exposure,

388
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: go for it. But what I have a real problem

389
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: with is active management that owns lots of stocks. So

390
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: I am a believer in a limited number of stocks

391
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: if you're going to hire active managers. So I that's

392
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: the other reason I don't own small caps is just

393
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: it's risky to own, you know, twenty thirty stocks and

394
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: have small caps in your portfolio. So that's that's the

395
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: reason why I avoid it. But that kind of carnage

396
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: leads me to believe that that's attractive. But you know,

397
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: I still think US value is going to outperform that

398
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: because I think these companies are doing very very well,

399
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: and so that would be my top pick, and then

400
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: my second pick would be emerging markets. You know, I try.

401
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: I know you're bullish on Microsoft. I think you have

402
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: it in both the international and the and the US

403
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: core fund um. Curious what you think of this activision

404
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: takeover this week and does it does that signal to

405
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: you sort of more to come? This kind of you know,

406
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: magic word the metaverse people keep throwing around. Is that

407
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: going to be kind of a Bolton acquisition source for

408
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: some of these bigger tech firms? Do you think? Or

409
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: is this a kind of a one and done for Microsoft.

410
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a sign that companies are flush with cash,

411
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: and I think it's a sign that they got a

412
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: lot of cash. Which, oh, by the way, what's the

413
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: rre we on cash right now? Zero? You're lucky, right,

414
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be a I'm no

415
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: investment banker, but I think it's going to be a

416
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: big year for M and A because companies have very

417
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: strong balance sheets and they got a lot of cash

418
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: on hand, and they're gonna be you know, looking for

419
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, Bolton acquisitions. So to the extent that you

420
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: know things are immediately a creative, I think you're gonna

421
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: see companies, companies jump on it. So and I know

422
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: that's a you know, not a lot of people talk

423
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: about that, but you know, I really think that the

424
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: story is that corporate fundamentals are not getting the press

425
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: they desire. If I really do. We talk about the

426
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: fattle ode and kind of you know, kind of geopolitical risk,

427
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: but to a certain extent, I just don't think, you know,

428
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: what's happening in corporate America gets enough you know, positive press,

429
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: because I think it's it's definitely out there. Well, speaking

430
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: of what's happening in corporate America, we did have the

431
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: banks kicking off the the earning season this week, and well,

432
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: on big theme was that a lot of the more

433
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: reporting wage pressures, and I wanted to ask you if

434
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: you're watching that as well. We had Gina Martin Adams

435
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: on last week and she spoke about the risk to

436
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: margins and so I'm just wondering how big of a

437
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: risk you think that is too Margins. Yeah, Well, first

438
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: of all, you know, keep in mind those stocks did

439
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: great they were red hot. As I said, they were

440
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: red hot going into earnings. So I'm always I'm always

441
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: really worried about companies when they're too hot, because a

442
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: little piece of you know, people will pick up on

443
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: disappointed news if they're too strong. And so that's I

444
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: think the story of some of the banks. And yeah,

445
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: there are some wage pressures, but not all banks. I

446
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: would be a little bit careful there. And the the

447
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: other thing I think is really important to consider is

448
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: that rising costs can be offset. Maybe maybe banks aren't

449
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: a good example, but rising costs can be offset by

450
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: rising prices as long as demands drawing. Rising costs can

451
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: be offset by better pricing as large as demand store

452
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: and so far, I think, you know, the people are

453
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: willing to pay more, and so I think that that

454
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: is going to be the story. That's something definitely to watch.

455
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: As long as demand stay strong, I think companies are

456
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna offset higher wages, higher costs with rising prices. Andrew,

457
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: one thing I wanted to ask uh, and I think

458
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: I might have asked this of you less time you

459
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: were on, but I'd be great to get an update

460
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: on your thinking, is uh, you know, as a core

461
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: fund manager, like you said, a fund that's not holding

462
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: hundreds of stocks maybe hold twenty or a few or

463
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: something like that. In this environment, are you, you know,

464
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: rolling over position changing positions more than you would otherwise?

465
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: Are you dumping and buying new positions? Because I think

466
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: of a core manager is kind of a buy and

467
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: hold type of manager. You know, you're looking for something

468
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: that's gonna perform for several years rather than several months.

469
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: But you know, with COVID rush in the economy and

470
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: then coming roaring back, I feel like technically you must

471
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: be more nimble these days and perhaps past years. Um

472
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: is that true? And does that normalize that at some point?

473
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't think last year you had to be very tactical. Yeah,

474
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: if the market's up, does it really pay actical, you know,

475
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: And so we let our positions run last year. And

476
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: the other thing is taking a little more I mean,

477
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I know this is perverse, but taking a little more

478
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: risk early in bowl markets pays. And that's perverse because

479
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: usually people want to you know, they're so worried about

480
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: what's already happened. They want less risk, right, But it

481
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: pays to actually take a little bit more risk early

482
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: on this year I think you're I think you're right.

483
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna require a little bit more tactical moves.

484
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: If I need to generate alpha, right, I need to

485
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: generate excess return because that's why you pay for active

486
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: management because in it, again going back to what I said,

487
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: in an environment of lower returns, I think there's gonna

488
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: be more volatility around that lower return thesis, and I

489
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: want to be a little bit more tactical. So it

490
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: means right now, I think the financials and the energy stocks,

491
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: as I said, are a little hot going into earnings.

492
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: Maybe financials have started cool and so maybe we trend

493
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: back a little bit on some of the energies. I mean,

494
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: they're up a lot, right even though maybe you know

495
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: for the year, we're still bullish on that area. They've

496
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: run too far ahead of the market year today. So

497
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I again, I think it's I think this year is

498
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna require a little bit more tactical and recognizing, boy,

499
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: these stocks have done very well better than you know,

500
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: better than than they probably will for the you so

501
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: mean reversion is another it's a fancy a saying tactical,

502
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's going to require a little

503
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: bit more, and so from an investors standpoint, it means

504
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: trimming back winners and you know, being willing to buy

505
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more into some of your you know, losers.

506
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: And so going back to the list of stocks are listed,

507
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: those are all good companies. They're reporting good earnings and

508
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: they haven't done very well this year, so that those

509
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: are the socks you want to buy whenever the fundamentals

510
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: and the stock prices diverged. I'm interested in that, you know,

511
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: and trying to know you're you're also a little bullsh

512
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: on China. You're saying your notes, so you think surprise,

513
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: China will surprise. Not a good year. I mean I

514
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: was looking at and I forgive me for not remembering

515
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: what bank put this note out, but it's by China

516
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: is either out on the top of the list of

517
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: returns for the year globally or the bottom. It seems

518
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: like almost every years. Is that part of it just

519
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: such a lousy year last year? Or is it the

520
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: the idea of stimulus coming? What's what's making you, uh,

521
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: sort of take a look at China. Yes, So, I

522
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: mean if I showed you one of those you know,

523
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: kind of heat maps of what did well and what

524
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, the best to worth performing assets every year

525
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: and you saw child and go, oh my god. Every

526
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: time it's bad, I want to invest right. And so

527
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: it just had a really bad year, and it had

528
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: a really bad year in two fifteen, really bad year

529
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand, so and then it does well. So

530
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, I've learned this business that when people say

531
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 1: something is uninvestable, that gets me interesting. And I hear

532
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: a lot of it's uninvestable right now. Um, that's number one.

533
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: Number two is you you're right, you have There is

534
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: one large central bank in the world that is not

535
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: moving more restrictive, it's moving more dubbish, and that's China.

536
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: So you have that number two. The third reason is

537
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: the dollar. Okay, the dollar went up a lot last

538
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: year and that really weighed on emerging markets, including China.

539
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: Now on the surfaces, you'd say, well, the Feds, you know,

540
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, my hike rates. How can the dollar not

541
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: go up again? Well, actually, the dollar tends to rally

542
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: in front of Fed pivotic and so it's kind of

543
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: starting to run out of steam here and that could

544
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: take some relief off emerging markets. And then the last

545
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: reason is and this gets two more stock selection is

546
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, as I said, look, I'm in different between

547
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: value growth and where in the world, but I'm always

548
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: interested in what are great companies that have compounded at

549
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: very high rates over time, and then which ones haven't

550
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: done well recently? And then let's really bore in and

551
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: figure out is something changed at the company and they

552
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: can't resume their you know, what they've done the past,

553
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: or is it temporary. And when we run screens on

554
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: companies that compounded very high rates that have not done

555
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: well recently, it leads us back to Asia extrapan of

556
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: which China is one of them. So that's that's, that's

557
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: those are the reasons. Tiden up your straight jackets. It's

558
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: time for the craziest things we saw in markets this week?

559
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: All right, Phil Dona, I think it is that time,

560
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: the ever so important time of the craziest things we saw.

561
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: What's the craziest thing you saw this week? I actually

562
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: didn't see very many, many many. As usual, especially in

563
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: the crypto space, you tend to see a lot of

564
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: really crazy stuff. But one of the weirdest things I

565
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: saw was that Airbnb CEO. I don't know if you

566
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: saw this story but he announced that he's going to

567
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: be living in Airbnb rentals going forward. He's going to

568
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: be staying in a different town or city every couple

569
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: of weeks, and it just, you know, it just brought

570
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: up questions like, how how do you govern as a CEO?

571
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: He's jumping around from place to place and it reminds

572
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: me of the time when Jack Dorsey had said he

573
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 1: was going to move to Africa and that created I

574
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: think it was a couple of years ago that created

575
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: a backlash. And so that was one of the stranger

576
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: things I saw that was pretty good. I did not

577
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: see that one. That's uh wait, I don't know. I

578
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: talked about living the life of a of a nomad. Right, yeah,

579
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: how about you, Andrew, you see anything crazy this week?

580
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: Well it may not be this week, but it's certainly,

581
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, year to date. And I don't have any

582
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: answer for this. Maybe you do, but I don't. And

583
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: that is this. When I look at the present Bulls

584
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: to Bears, it's barely positive and time, in fact, it's

585
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: sometimes negative. When I look at the VIX, the vaultility Inex,

586
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: it's still very elevated, right when consumer confidence is kind

587
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: of low, right, when I talked to financial advisors, they

588
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: say to me, are clients are fearful of being invested?

589
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: They have foe b fear of being in right? They

590
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: want out right. And the reason why I find that

591
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: bizarre is because, well, I should say it's logical because

592
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: the markets up three years in a row. So on,

593
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: on the surface, you'd say, well, that's entire logical, No

594
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: wonder people are nervous because the market's up so much.

595
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: But the weird thing is that's not how humans act.

596
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: Humans don't get less. It's the fear degreed cycle. And

597
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: so how is it that we're up three years in

598
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: a row of over tw and people are suddenly acting

599
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: very logical? That's very that's weird. It shouldn't happen that way,

600
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: And it makes me wonder maybe fomo. We're gonna go

601
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: from foe by fear of being into fomo, which is

602
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: fear of missing out. That's how bowl markets d with fomo, right, right.

603
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: I just I to think it's weird that the market

604
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: has been so strong and yet the anxiety level is

605
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: so high, very unusual. Right. The rational behavior is the

606
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: craziest thing. I take that. Yeah, that's a great way

607
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: I agree, that's pretty good. Two good ones here, two

608
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: good ones here. I'll give you my now the Donna.

609
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: I've had an issue because whenever I try to play

610
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: prices right with my craziest things, you've already read every

611
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: story that's been printed for the week, regardless of publications,

612
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: so it complicates things. So I've got three crazy things

613
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: in the alternative space, and we're gonna play prices right.

614
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: See which one you guys think is the highest priced.

615
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: And as you might guess, there are auctions in the

616
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: collectibles and other assorted weird market space. So I'm gonna

617
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: give you three things. One of what already went up

618
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: for auction, two of what you're going for auctionus you too,

619
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: tell me what you think has the highest they're already

620
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: sold auction price, were expected at auction price. First one

621
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: a five hundred and fifty five point five five carrot

622
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: black diamond. I didn't even know there was black diamonds.

623
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: Apparently they exist, five d and fifty carrots, called the Enigma.

624
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: It's going up for auction next month at Southby's in London.

625
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: You forgot to mention. I think that the claim is

626
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: that that diamond is from outer space. I was getting

627
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: to that you, I was getting to it. Yes, you've

628
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: taken all the all the feather away from me. Yes,

629
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: you might ask yourself, where does the black diamond come from?

630
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: Well they say it either emerged from a diamond bearing

631
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: asteroid that collided with Earth, were created by a meteor's

632
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: impact with your anyway, pretty bizarre. Five fifty point five

633
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: five carrot black diamond. Second item. Now, we're used to

634
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: seeing Spider Man in a red suit, but apparently every

635
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: now and then he puts in ah, it wears a

636
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: black suit. So the first ever book. And I'm not

637
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: a comic book guy, I I might get some of

638
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: this wrong, but first time you ever where black suit

639
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: was in a night comic book. The original artwork is

640
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: up for auction of the Black Spider Man Suit. That's

641
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 1: number two third, one of the earliest contemporary broadside editions

642
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: of the Declaration of Independence, is going to go on

643
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: sale later this year, likely the first edition printed in

644
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: New England. Only six copies are known to exist for

645
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: belonging university collections or museums collections. Christie's putting this up

646
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: for auction next month. So Andrew and Voldonna, you've got

647
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: a five and fifty five point five five carrot black diamond,

648
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: your first drawing of Spider Man in a black suit.

649
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: We're one of the first earliest known editions of the

650
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence. I would also say that matches the

651
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: exact type setting used in the addition printed in the

652
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen seventy six issue of the American Gazette. If

653
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 1: that helps you at all, well, do you go first?

654
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Which one you thanks going for the most? The rational

655
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: answer would be C I think, but I'm not going

656
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: to go with that because of what we were just

657
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: talking about how everybody is still a little bit irrational.

658
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm going to go with the diamond because of

659
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: the fun factor. It's god knows from where, from Mars

660
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: or Jupiter or something. We can create a really fun

661
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: story around it. I'm going with the diamonds. All right,

662
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: that's that's well reasoned. Well, give me your your expected

663
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: price for the diamond as a tiebreaker. Actually, wait, let's

664
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: see what Andrew says, and then we'll then we'll ask

665
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: for the price as a tiebreaker if he if he

666
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: agrees with it, well, I mean, I think vell data,

667
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: that's a logical, rational answer, you know, the Spider Man

668
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: in the black Suits scene so irrational that it makes

669
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: me believe probably you know that, which also a well

670
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: reasoned answer, very well reasoned. I would have gone with

671
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: the diamond personally, I would think of fifty five carrots,

672
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: some someone's gonna want to put that on a necklace.

673
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: I liked the rationale for both of these. But again,

674
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: this is the craziest things where rationality goes up the window.

675
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: It was actually the Declaration of Independence expected to go

676
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: for twelve eighteen million. The diamonds only expected to go

677
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: for six eight million. I I don't get that surprises me. Yeah,

678
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: for five fifty carrots, I mean from out of space.

679
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: I will not I will not tell you what I

680
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: spent on my wife's engagement ring. But let's just say

681
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: that not in that league. And as Spider Man, that's

682
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: a wild card there. You're right, Andrew, because you know,

683
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: you get some comic book nerd. You know who's who's

684
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: made a fortune on crypto and uh. But here's the

685
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: craziest thing out of all of it. The new Spider

686
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Man movie. What's it called? I forget what it's called. Already,

687
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Spider Man, you can't go home or something like up anyway.

688
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: You know what, that's grossed already in the box office

689
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: one and a half billion dollars. It's only enough for

690
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: a few weeks. It's already brought in one and a

691
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: half billion dollars. I find that I have teenage daughters also, Mike,

692
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: and they all all right, they've all seen it. Yeah.

693
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: My my youngest is a big comic book fans too.

694
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: It's funny the young girls are into the Marvel and

695
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: the d c uh. Who would have who would have

696
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: figured one and a half billion dollars for a Spiderman

697
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: movie already? And that's before it even really hits the

698
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's already hit video. I don't know. They released

699
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: these things together at the same time, but what the

700
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: check backs. I think that Diamond's gonna go for more

701
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: than they expect. With that said, Edrew, always a great

702
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: time to catch ups. You really appreciate your insights. I

703
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: think we're all adjusting our chin straps for wild years.

704
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: We'll have to bring you back sometime to see how

705
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: it's going. I look forward to it. Thank you for
