Now, have you got any research the 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: president and found it? And can we start in this 8 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: international story? Just start that just got a little bit deeper? 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: What do you make of it? Just the runny was 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: sink and he am in base metals, in kappa and 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: ol sweat to well. Last year there was a lot 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: of talk about a recession around the world. We started 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: out last year with a lot of concern that, uh, 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: if the FED was in fact in a titan An, 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: inflation was going to be persistent, that the US might 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: fall into recession, and there was a lot of chatter 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: in the first half of the year when real GDP 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: was down. But there's also a lot of talk about 19 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: Europe going into a recession because of the war in 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine and what that did energy supplies in Europe, and 21 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: then of course China has been struggling with another wave 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: of the pandemic. So you put it all together, and 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: the outlook was for last year for the global economy 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: to be weak. Uh. Now I think there's UH. The 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: markets are signaling that the plunge and natural gas prices 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: in Europe suggested Europe may not have a recession after all. 27 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: And now with China abandoning the UH, the COVID policy 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: opening up, there's a perception that we may get a 29 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: terrible wave of the pandemic for a few months, but 30 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: then it should abate in China should open. So the 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: outlook for the world economy I think is actually improving. 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: So at these trends, you want to ride the Runnie 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: was saying in the amiquities the Ronnie was saying of 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: the minors in place man, Yes, yeah, absolutely, especially since 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: UH we started out the year or ended up last 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: year with sort of a consensus view that the market 37 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: was going to go down and make a new low. 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: The stock market in the U S would make a 39 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: new low by the middle of the year and then 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: would provide opportunities. I think we made a low on 41 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: October twelfth in the market. I think that was the 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: end of the bear market, and I think we're back 43 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: in a bull market, not straight up, a lot of volatility, 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: but I think the markets are telling us that the 45 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: world economy is improving. You know, any Torsten Slack moments 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: ago to Apollo brings up the heart of it, the 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: calculus which he studied at Yale a few years ago. 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: And the basic idea here is we've been fixated on 49 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: the level of inflation, and now the market and the 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: pundits and economists like you are switching to the first 51 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: and second derivatives, the change of the movement, the dynamics 52 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: of inflation. How does it FED adapt to that focus 53 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: and that change. Well, I think the FED recognizes and 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: is embarrassed by the fact that they made a mistake 55 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: at the end of one and early two, that they 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: turned out to fall away behind the inflation curve. And 57 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: I think they're trying to make up for that mistake 58 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: by possibly making another mistake. But look, I don't tell 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: the FED what to do. I try to anticipate what 60 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna do, and right now it certainly looks like 61 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna do another seventy five basis points, maybe in 62 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: twenty five basis points increments in the first half of 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: the year. Uh, even though the data may suggest that 64 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: that's really not necessary, and then they intend to keep 65 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: it there at five and um, I have no problems 66 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: with that. Really. I think the economy is resilient. I'd 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: love to go back. That's the point here. You know, 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: you're you know, and your you and we face this. 69 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: So if we get up into the five is range 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: in the key phrase from you, Dr yodanny is, and 71 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: we stay there. There's a lot of punditry that the 72 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: world will come to an end, as we know. Push 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: against that. Well, that's that's that's not my my style. 74 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: I I rarely think that the world's going to come 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: to an end, and quite the opposite. When I see 76 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people talking that way, my contrary instincts 77 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: come out, and I think that we may actually be 78 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: seeing a change from the new normal of unconventional monetary policies, 79 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: ultra easy monetary policies that we had from two thousand 80 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: and nine to two thousand and twenty one, back to 81 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: the old normal. I would be great if we could 82 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: get back to kind of an environment where interest rates 83 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: are not zero, where we don't have monetary policy buying 84 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: bonds in bulk UH, and I think that's what we're 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: what we're seeing that we're going back to the the 86 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: old normal economy, which is able to grow with reasonably 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: UH with reasonable interest rates. Zero is not a reasonable 88 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: interest rate. And if that's the case, then that raises 89 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: leadership questions. Why do you think that leadership comes from 90 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: both from a sector perspective and a a geographic perspective as 91 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: well well. I think that investors right now are in 92 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: fact training more optimistic about the global economy, and they're 93 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: looking for where values are still relatively cheap. And so 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: we've already had a big run in China and now 95 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: they're looking at Europe. I think it's a diversified global 96 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: portfolio makes sense here. I think the U S is 97 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: gonna do just fine. And the leadership I think in 98 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: the US is going to be industrials because there's so 99 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: much money in the fiscal stimulus pipeline for infrastructure and 100 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: semiconductor plants. And I think we also have on shoring. 101 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking at data showing manufacturing UH, the structures building 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: of manufacturing structures is an all time record high in 103 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: the US. So turn it all together and I think 104 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: you just diversify. What does trade do at your Danny 105 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: x M. Given a Chinese recovery, what is the export 106 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: dynamics and the import dynamics. Well, you know where everybody 107 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: is talking about on shoring and production moving out of 108 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: China back to the United States or at least to 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: Mexico and Vietnam. Um. The reality is the world hasn't 110 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: changed that radically in the past couple of years. Uh. 111 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: If the U S economy is actually going to uh 112 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: have no landing this year, which which I think is 113 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: a plausible case, I would say that it's it's included 114 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: in the probitabilities of soft landing, which I put at 115 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: we could have no landing, and if we have no 116 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: landing and the consumer continues to spend, that would increase 117 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: our trade deficit. Amazing a quickly this conversation has changed 118 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: just to mind efinite one. It's January eleven, and we're 119 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: already questioned. It's amazing and you got any if you 120 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: had any research taking the other side of things right now, 121 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: right now. Sarah May joins US now chief investment officer 122 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: at Novine, thrilled she could be patient as we go 123 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: over the aviation moment. Sarah, what's your confidence in your outlook? 124 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: I would say, asked certitude or confidence has been shattered 125 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: in the ten days of January. Well, Marcus in the 126 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: FED disagree on the outlook, but we expect markets to 127 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: tread water until we get to two events this week, 128 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: and that's CPI and earnings. Now, whispers are for CPI 129 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: to be better than expected. We expect moderate growth as 130 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: we see that continued shift from goods to services, lower 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: auto prices, but consumers still keep spending. But is that 132 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: enough to get the Fed to change their course? I 133 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: don't think so. We still will see a long tail 134 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: of a pause and interest rate heights, and also a 135 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: long tail of inflation. And then secondarily is earnings. What 136 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: I am pleased to see is that earnings growth is 137 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: expected to be flat for this quarter and we are 138 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: seeing margins decline, but revenue growth is still positive for 139 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: the years. So the question is if we go into 140 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: a economic slowdown, revenue growth probably can't stay positive. And 141 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: market evaluations are pricing in a very optimistic scenario. And 142 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: that's what makes me concerned about the rest of how 143 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: do you allocate? Now? What is the gross all I 144 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: mean the Nuvine heritages fixed income. But what is the 145 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: allocation you choose to have right now? It is fixed 146 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: income over equities because I think what you can get 147 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: is more traditional equity life returns in fixed income for 148 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: lower volatility. A lot of that rate high pain is 149 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: priced into fixed income. I'm worried about equity earnings. I 150 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: think they're still too high. We've not seen the impact 151 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: of tight, tighter monetary policy on earnings, on margins, and 152 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: on that positive revenue growth that probably isn't sustainable. So 153 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: I think fixed income looks better. Take on a little 154 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: bit more duration and risk there and you can get 155 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: high single digit to low double digit returns in quality 156 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: areas like investment grade and municipal bonds. Are Are you 157 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: more concerned about earnings in one sector over another or 158 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: is this pretty broad pace pretty widespread. I think it 159 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: could be widespread, depending on the depth of the recession. 160 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: If you look at earnings this year, it looks kind 161 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: of similar last year, with the energy leading and technology 162 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: at the bottom. I think there's interesting areas within technology 163 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: where you could see stronger earnings as we start to 164 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: go through the cycle. The areas that are less cypical 165 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: I still like software here. I think summer conductors could 166 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: hit an inflection point this year. Kicking up later this 167 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: week will be financials. That's an area that we're not 168 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: incredibly positive on because of the capital's markets risk for 169 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: these large banks. I like the regional banks over large banks. 170 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: They are more protected and away from capital markets issues. 171 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: So there's this massive cychnical story emerging off the back 172 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: of China reopening. And Tom and I've been talking about 173 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: all morning. I'd love your view on it. You've got 174 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: a commodity market rallying base metals, copper through nine thousand, 175 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: You've got em equities back in a ball market. We 176 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: talked about Europe at the top of the hour. European 177 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: banks up more than since the summer lows. They believe 178 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: in the cynical story, at least relative to where we 179 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: were several months ago. And Sarah, I'm wondering why that's 180 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: not showing up at the long end of the bond market. 181 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: Everyone's saying, let's take on duration, let's look for those 182 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: lower yields. But x US, this market right now is 183 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: not screaming recession. I think short term you're going to 184 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: get a rebound in a lot of these areas because 185 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: of China reopening. I have questions over long term the 186 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: real economic growth of China and where we get to 187 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: once we get past this bounce. China is kind of 188 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: a sprung coil that it had very poor returns for 189 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: the last couple of years and then finally it started 190 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: to pick up recently. Um also commodities, they'll have another story, 191 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: which is renewable energy. The amount of demand for areas 192 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: such as copper and cobalt nickel is also being driven 193 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: as we shipped to using more and more renewable energy. 194 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: I expect the demand for copper to actually double by 195 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: the year two thousand and thirty five. And if you 196 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: look at the supply of copper even in the US, 197 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: we've been cutting supply for the last twenty five years. 198 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: So there's another metal story that's important. Energy has its 199 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: own fundamentals. Demand has been strong for energy for a while, 200 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: supplies been tight, our peak investment in energy was producers 201 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: are focusing on returning tash to shareholders. So the energy 202 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: fundamental story remains strong with it without China. So that's 203 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: a structural story. Can we just sit on the cyclical 204 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: one a little bit longer. This is the question at 205 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: the moment for us, should we be pricing in a 206 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: growth reband off the back of China reopening or a 207 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: growth slowed down off the back of all the time, 208 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: and we've seen which one is it. I think that 209 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: what I'm was worried about is the impact of tightening. 210 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: You're getting right into the period where we're started to 211 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: see what this aggresive increasing rate hikes around the world 212 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: dost of the economy. I'm more worried about that and 213 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: what that does versus China, which I think is a 214 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: shorter term play, shorter term rebound as they get back 215 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: to normal. But the overhanging main event of the year 216 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: is going to be what amount of damage of global 217 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: central banks done to the economy? And what's holding us 218 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: up here? It's the consumer and it's the employment markets. 219 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: Were already seeing the consumer def into their saving rates 220 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: to keep spending. Employment markets have not cracked yet. But 221 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: if the consumer and the employment markets cracked, I think 222 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: that then is the recession story that you get and 223 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: the unwinded revenue growth, and that would have told us 224 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: that market evaluations are too high right now. Saramonica moving 225 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: Sarah thank you just brilliant as always, saramonic that moving, 226 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: David melt Pass. What I note here that's so important 227 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: is the linkage into China. Your website shows the linkage 228 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: of the World Bank into China. What is your knowledge 229 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: of any China recovery? Hi, Tom and John. I was 230 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: there in December. I think they were just beginning to 231 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: digest this, uh, coming off of the lockdowns. You know, 232 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: the lockdowns were massive in China. Change the whole way 233 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: people went to went to the factory and and uh 234 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: got there, got their groceries and and uh that changed 235 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: almost overnight. And so the the future still has to 236 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: be worked out as they have infections of COVID spreading 237 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: through China. One one outlook would be that they that 238 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: they digested and then move into more production. That would 239 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: help the world. Another is that it takes them many 240 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: many months to absorb it. So we'll have to see. 241 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: We'll know more I think in a couple of months. 242 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: On China itself. My my big worry time, as you know, 243 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: is there's the lack of investment going into developing countries. 244 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: There's this big pulling back by those investors that were 245 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,239 Speaker 1: reaching for yield. They're they're reindamining all of those investments, 246 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: and that's a challenge. David. I would say, in a 247 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: history of the I M from the World Bank, there 248 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: is no single leader like you who's actually modeled and 249 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: guest economic growth. You and Terry Weisman and Emi Shio 250 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: years ago. It bears Stearns. Do you have confidence in 251 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: the data out of China now that leads you to 252 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: some form of cautious estimate of global growth? Yes, the 253 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: data coming out of China is is you know, of 254 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: course it can be criticized. But I've made this point before. 255 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: If you think of what a GDP number, real GDP 256 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: for even UH countries like the US is a range 257 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: of possibilities, and in China, same thing. UH and so 258 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: it's clear that they slowed down quite a bit in 259 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: the in the third quarter, and for because of the lockdowns. 260 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: They had a really massive down. Remember going from Shanghai 261 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: to Beijing, big production centers UH and so, and those 262 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: are coming off now, UH and so hard hard to 263 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: know in advance how how much acceleration there can be 264 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: during three UH. It will help the world if they do. 265 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm talking to market economist to Johnny 266 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: male Pass is going to hang up and walk away. 267 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: David very seriously, here can a week dollar save e M. 268 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if we get any form of metric moving 269 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: strong dollar to week dollar, does that assuage the worry 270 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: that we have about emerging market finance? No? So I 271 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: think the best for the world is to have the 272 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: dollar be stable and then other countries try to have 273 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: their own currencies be stable as well. That allows them 274 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: to absorb new investment. So I'd be worried if if 275 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: we for some reason went into a week dollar phase 276 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: that that would reduce global investment. They'd be worried about 277 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: what the future would bring. Um, well, that's that's not 278 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: in our outlook. If you say, might the the euro 279 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: in the end has recovered some from very weak phase 280 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: two three or four months ago, that's that's good and 281 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: that softens the downturn of the of the outlook. But 282 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: uh ideal would be if we can get a lot 283 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: of new investment into the countries that really needed, that's 284 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: the countries that have big population growth or that have 285 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: very low wages. They can use new tractors, new computers, 286 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: new machinery, cement making machinery, new bulldozers, uh, and that's 287 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: that's uh limited right now, especially in the poorest countries. 288 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: It's even I'd like to ask you a supply side question, 289 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: if that's okay. Just to wrap things up, we tucked 290 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: on China, and I think everyone focused on the demand side. 291 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: What's your base case, David, Are you thinking about the 292 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: supply side seeing some relief or further displications off the 293 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: back of this demand snapping back in both So, as 294 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: we look at the supply chains, they went through a 295 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: really bad phase a year ago. That improves substantially, but 296 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: then that disclosed other weaknesses within the supply chain. So 297 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: in China fills many of those and as their factory 298 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: production goes back up as they get through COVID UH 299 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: that that will help in certain areas. So I think 300 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: we're going to see relief on certain some things, for example, uh, 301 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: fertilizer around the world that's been in really short supply. 302 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: China is a major producer, but in other areas still 303 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: these shortages because the capital is not flowing yet. And 304 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: and importantly in this is the asset repricing that has 305 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: to be done after you've come off the zero percent 306 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: interest rate environment ten years at a zero percent interest 307 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: rate means you've got to work out the pricing of 308 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: many assets. Devin mount Pass at the Well Bank, David, 309 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: I think that forecast a global GDP. Everyone's intention, including us. 310 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. The band with us. They've a compass 311 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: that the president at the World Bank. It is always 312 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: good to speak to the gentleman from Arkansas. French Hill 313 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: has been a good friend of this show in explaining 314 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: his view on Washington policy, and he has a not 315 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: in acquaintance with the f a A. French I want 316 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: to go back five years ago and you play local 317 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: domestic politics by getting the f a A to commit 318 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: to Little Rock and to commit to aviation away from 319 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: what we talk about, which is Atlantic Newark JFK and 320 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: in l a X as well. What is your confidence 321 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: in the funding of the f a A right now? 322 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Are they underfunded on target or do we need to 323 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: step it up? Well, Tom John, good to be with you. 324 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: I think the f a has had robust funding. I 325 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: think people would know that we have the finest air 326 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: traffic control system in the world, so I have no 327 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: doubt they'll get to the bottom of this. If the 328 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: need assistance from me to the executive branch or Congress, 329 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: they'll be the first to speak up about it. We've 330 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: had a great relationship in Little Rock with the f 331 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: a A and helping us expand economic development by working 332 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: with our airport and changing the location of their air 333 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: traffic control Will Cones. So look, I've got a great 334 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: relationship with him, and we stand about to help if 335 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: we need to. We'll see how we get through the morning. 336 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: You're trying to get through January French Hill as a 337 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: Republican trying to get to February one, our guests and 338 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: even within Bloomberg surveillance French there is a serious mystery 339 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: to what we observed in a small group of Republicans 340 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: versus an embedded GOP in the house. Describe right now 341 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: the nascent relationship between the speaker, grizzled veterans like you, 342 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: and the crew we heard from front and Center a 343 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: number of days ago. Yeah, it was a tumultuous week. 344 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: Last week. It took fifteen ballots to elect Kevin McCarthy 345 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: the speaker, and that's set a historic record in the 346 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: in the recent modern history. But look all along the way, Tom, 347 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: there was a lot of attention to that nineteen twenty 348 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: one members who were holding out, But what about the 349 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: two d people that were consistently they're saying Kevin McCarthy 350 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: is the best choice for speaker, and for many of them, 351 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: he's the only choice for speaker. So that's what carried 352 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: us through the week. And I'll say this, I think 353 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot has been made about what concessions did Kevin 354 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: McCarthy give in order to become speaker, And in my view, 355 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: they were not as dramatic as some of the news 356 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: media coverage that I've seen. Do you know those concessions? 357 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: Even this morning, this seems to have mystery I saw 358 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: one relatively expert pundit say, look, it's all gonna leak 359 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: out eventually. Is french Hill aware of what those concepts 360 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: MISTI mysterious concessions are? Yeah? I am. I was one 361 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: of Mr McCarthy's negotiators last week with the holdout group 362 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: and excuse me, and the the agreement surrounds three things. First, 363 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: the rules package, which there was only one change to 364 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: the rules package that had already been approved by members 365 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: of Congress on the Republican side, and that was the 366 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: vacate the chair emotion. Emotion that's been in place since 367 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: nineteen All speakers have faced a vacate the chair emotion 368 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: except for Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The second topic was the budget. 369 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: How do we control spending after the pandemic and after 370 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: the Joe Biden spending spree? How do we go back 371 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: to basic principles and reduce the budget deficit? And then 372 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: the third and final category of things that we agreed 373 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: to were to make sure that every voice in our 374 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Republican Conference is represented on a committee. And that was 375 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: essentially Yet there is no secret agreement, and everything that 376 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: I'm aware of in that agreement has been made public 377 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: in our conference meetings or by press reports. Conferson Hill, 378 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: I would suggest, respectfully that yes, there's been a Biden 379 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: spending spree, but there was a Trump spending spree and 380 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: before that another spree, and we're spree spree spree back decades. 381 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: We're trying to find a rational fiscal path for this nation. 382 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: Can that be? Is bipartisan? Is our actions on China? Boy? 383 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: It needs to be? Tom, And I think you make 384 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: a very good point. Look, the baseline for the Congressional 385 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: Budget Office, as we're gonna have one and a half 386 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: trillion dollar depths it's for the next ten years under 387 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: those principal spending measures that Joe Biden authorized and asked 388 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: for in the last two years, and it has been 389 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: made worse. And I want to go back to the 390 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: time where Republicans and Democrats both agreed budgets were bad. 391 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: I've got just some a little bit of time left, 392 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: French How do we get back to Scoop Jackson and 393 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: HHH actually talking to Republicans? Well, we have a group. 394 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: I think our new Budget Committee Chairman Jody Arrington of 395 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: West Texas has got a group of thirty Republicans and 396 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: thirty Democrats that are working on how do we get 397 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: back to budget sanity? And I think that's a smart 398 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: way to do it. Has have those individual visits. We 399 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: have to we have to go. We have to charge 400 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: of football. It is it like basically Stein. Alright, French Hill, 401 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: this is really important. I mean, we know Arkansas is 402 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: going to reign supreme, but just simple now, is Georgia 403 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: the new Alabama? And football? Boy, don't tell anybody from 404 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: Alabama that everybody had a red coat on here from Georgia. 405 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: You'll have a great day, Fred Hill, Thank you so much. Colressmith, 406 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: thank you David Rubinstein joins US now with Carlisle and 407 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: of course host of peer to peer conversations with a 408 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: really important conversation made more important by the news flow 409 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: in the coin based world. David, this kid is from 410 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: Palo Alto. This kid is from engineering. He took one 411 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: of the great double degrees in America Rice University, economics 412 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: and game theory, did all the right things, and his 413 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: company is now falling apart. Well, I wouldn't say it's 414 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: falling apart. The company has publicly traded. It did have 415 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: a market cap that's probably about above what it is today. 416 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: But the company has real revenue. The company is laying 417 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: off some people. It's laying off its workforce at previously 418 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: laid off eighteen percent. But the company is regulated by 419 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: the US government. The company UM is a very large 420 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: UH company that does with that that deals with trading 421 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: of bitcoin other cryptocurrencies, and it has a real business, 422 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: has real revenue, and it seems to be doing the 423 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: opposite of what ft X did. It doesn't trade for 424 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: its own account, doesn't have its own coin that are 425 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: token that it's created, so it's much different than than 426 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: f t X. Unfortunately, it's been hurt by the ft 427 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: X challenges. What does you take on this And as 428 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: you talked to Brian in the news flow and the 429 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: concentration that I as an amateur cy with finance as well, 430 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: does he have a strategic ability to recover? Is there 431 00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: a coin based difference because of Mr Armstrong? Well, Brian 432 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: is a very smart person, as you point out, as 433 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: an engineer. His parents were engineers as well and involved 434 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: in computer software. He really is a very very smart, 435 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: highly focused person. He's built a very good company which 436 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 1: is now caught in a mailstream alstrom of of the 437 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: problems of ft X. But I think his company is 438 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: one that that really does have real revenue. It does 439 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: serve a real purpose. If you want to buy a cryptocurrency, 440 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: you can do it through his company, and it's regulated 441 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: by the US government. It's publicly traded company. Now, alex 442 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: stock has gone down a fair bit, but that's not unexpected. 443 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: A lot of technology companies are going down, and obviously 444 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot of crypto companies have gone down as well. David, 445 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: did he speak of his future about his linkage to 446 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: the underlying I'm going to use the price of bitcoin 447 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: there from fifties sixty thousand on down to a present 448 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: seventeen thousand. How critical is the price of bitcoin for 449 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: his operational path forward? I don't think the price of 450 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: bitcoin is as important as the volume having people go 451 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: in and trade, whether price is higher or lower, it 452 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: is probably not as irrelevant to him. Just like a 453 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: NASDAC or New York Stock at Change, he's basically providing 454 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: an exchange where people can buy cryptocurrencies, and it seems 455 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: to be uh, you know, well run clearly right now. 456 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: He's now reducing head count because volume is down a bit, 457 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's a company that's just going 458 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: to fall apart um. It's much different than FTX. What 459 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: is the opportunistic moment here for private investors such as Carlisle. 460 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't need you to give me the family jewels, 461 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: but in this chaos is their crypto opportunity? Well, Carlisle 462 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: is not a buyer of crypto related companies, but I 463 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: would say generally the technology market is down thirty or 464 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: some of the leading companies from it's their peak. And therefore, 465 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: if you are a value investor or, if you want 466 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: to buy some things cheap now, it's probably a pretty 467 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: good time. The best time to buy things, obviously, is 468 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: when there's blood in the streets, as they say, and 469 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: right now in the technology where there has been blood 470 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: in the streets, and the crypto world has even been worse. 471 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: But I think if you're a value investor and you 472 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: really look at buying things cheaply, now it's probably a 473 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: pretty good time to invest in attack world. David Rubinstein, 474 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: it must take a moment here with critical headlines. F 475 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: A nine minutes, make it ten minutes ahead of schedule. 476 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: Federal Aviation Administration says normal air traffic operations are resuming 477 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: gradually across the United States. The ground stop has been 478 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: lifted that just moments ago from the FAA. Will look 479 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: for follow up and that is well, David, you have 480 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: public service in Washington. How is the f a A 481 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: treated in Washington. I mean, it's not the Pentagon, it's 482 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: not the State Department. But boys, it's something we use 483 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: each and every day. Well, the f A a UM 484 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: doesn't get as much money as it probably would like. 485 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: In the system of air traffic control, which is different 486 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: than the one we're talking about today, the overall air 487 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: traffic control system has taken a long time to fix 488 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: and make more modern. So I think the f a 489 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: A could use a lot more support from Congress, a 490 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: lot more support generally from the public in terms of 491 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: its need to modernize what it does. Remember the moment, David, 492 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: years ago where President Reagan made a splash by standing 493 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: up to union members up in towers trying to get 494 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: us to land our planes. Are we scarred still start 495 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: scarred from that moment forty some years ago? We're Ronald 496 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: Reagan said the flight controllers. No, you know, we're not 497 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: going to back down. Well, Tom, you and I might 498 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: be the only people old enough to remember that, but 499 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: that happened in the early nineties when there was a 500 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: strike at the at the air traffic controllers and and 501 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: President Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers. The system 502 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: continue to work. Um that system UH is now still 503 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: dated a bit, and we could use modernization. But I 504 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: don't see any strike in the in the in the future, 505 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: and I think that the way Ronald Reagan handled had 506 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: probably dealt with that problem for quite some time. David. 507 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: One final question in a statement, I guess on the 508 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: shift that we've seen at Bloomberg surveillance just in the 509 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: last four or five days, do you in Carlisle, with 510 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: all your resources, do you believe in a Chinese recovery 511 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: to five or six percent g d P, a renaissance 512 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: of the Pacific rim post pandemic. I think it's a 513 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: mistake to bet against the Chinese economy. Five or six 514 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: percent would be high growth because it's recovering, obviously from 515 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: the COVID situation. But I think counting out the Chinese 516 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: economy is always a mistake, and I think people have 517 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: underestimated the Chinese economy over the last thirty years have 518 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: generally found out that they were wrong. David, thank you 519 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: so much. This is going to be important. When they 520 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: filmed this with Mr Armstrong, it was supposed to be important, 521 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: but now it is ever more important. David Rubinstein with 522 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: Brian Armstrong of coin base, this is important. Paul Swenian, 523 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: Tim Keene. It was someone who not so much has 524 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: seen at all, but has a lot of the scars 525 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: of the up in the down. His name is Douglas Cass. 526 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: It was cea Breeze partners as well. Doug. Just as 527 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: a general question, sixty already went down in flames last year. 528 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: A bond market, we've never seen an equity market. Yes, 529 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: we've seen it, but pretty ugly as well. How does 530 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: Doug Cass pick up the pieces after the December thirty 531 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: one hangover? How do you what do you do on 532 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: January twond to regroup? Well? Uh, it was certainly a 533 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: non consensus year. UM. We entered last year with the 534 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: overriding consensus view that stocks would continue the game. To 535 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: say the least, that was incorrect. It was quite um 536 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: off mark. The overriding consensus as we entered this year 537 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: was that the stock declines would be extended, something I 538 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: disagree with. In my first surprise for UH and so I, UM, 539 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: I think that we have basically UM what I describe 540 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: as a chop bucket in to a surprisingly strong first 541 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: half a surprisingly weak second half. Do you invest with 542 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: certitude if you extend out your time frame? If your 543 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: new three week trade is three months, are your new 544 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: three months trade is twelve months? Does that help? Well? 545 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 1: I think the as I mentioned last time, as I 546 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: was on with you and Paul, that the game of 547 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: buying thirty stocks buying hold them forever, UM, going to 548 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: play golf, trying to get some more assets under management 549 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: with new prospects UM is over. UM. The game is changing. 550 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: It's what Howard Marks calls a sea change. Um, it's 551 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: a paradigm shift. We're trying to recover from the biggest 552 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: monetary bubble in modern history, and the unwind and transition 553 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: inequity prices and monetary policy as we expected at sea 554 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: Breeze came to pass. Last year has been painful for 555 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: most investors. UM I considered, I continue to see formidable 556 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: and still gray market on friendly factors at work. But 557 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: to quote Vince Scully when he was talking about my 558 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: cousin Sandy Kovax, is perfect game in nineteen sixty with 559 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: twelve months closer to approaching the promised land in which 560 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: we could buy great companies at great prices. But for 561 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: now we have a tempered view of three Um again, 562 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: enough first half, a down second half, because that's probably 563 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: my biggest surprise. That's my really my biggest surprise, and 564 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: that's and that is certainly not consensus. Dougus, you're I'm 565 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: sure you're you're well aware most people feel like we're 566 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: all kind of loading up for bear in the second 567 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: half of the year. Yeah, I think you know the 568 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: purpose of my surprise lists and the way I structure 569 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: our portfolios. You know, I get a bum wrap. I 570 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: get a wrap that I'm a short seller. In reality, 571 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm a contrarian. And so right now most people are saying, hey, 572 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: interest rates will start to maybe peak, if not start 573 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: to come down in mid year, and that's when you 574 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: want to load up on risk assets, including stocks. But 575 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: you're kind of saying, I'm just at the the opposite, Paul. 576 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: I see a rapidly declining UM inflation rate visa v. 577 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: Consensus expectations. I even see some pressure off of wage inflation. 578 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: I see defensive positioning on the part of c t as, 579 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: retail and hedge funds, very negative sentiment UM, and on 580 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: the other hand, there are constraints to the upside. The 581 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: biggest market obstacle as I see it, UM is the 582 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: sea change towards higher interest rates. And to me, the 583 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: one of the market's biggest challenges is the current level 584 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: and difference of bond than NO yields relative to the 585 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: S and P divid and yield. That's one of the 586 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: most serious challenges and head wins to stocks, and it 587 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: helps to explain why I think the SMP will be 588 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: range bound, which will be a big super eyes between 589 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: thirty seven hundred, forty one hundred since we're thirty nine 590 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: hundred were basically um um muddled value UM. So I 591 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: see a number of restraints. On the up side, there's 592 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: a wide range of possible political, political, economic, and market 593 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: outcomes as well as financial conditions continue to ease. The 594 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: more fed, the Fed will talk tough um and act tough, 595 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: and that's another restraining influence. And I think there's a 596 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: nasty set up into late spring in Washington, d C. 597 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: With McCarthy speaker McCarthy's concessions to the right wing of 598 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: his party. And then I'm fascinated by your affinity at 599 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: times for Amazon over the years. Do you look at 600 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: the Amazons as the world is broken stocks? I mean, 601 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: this is profit making, ginormous cash on balance sheet tech. 602 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: Are they broken? I think all these companies UM. It 603 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: was originally thought, if you remember about six months ago, 604 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: when the Cathy Woods disruptive stocks were getting schmist down 605 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: in certain cases, that it would be restricted to the 606 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: non earning tech companies, But as it turns out, we 607 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: pushed forward sales, profits and cash flow, and even companies 608 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: like Alphabet and Amazon and Meta and so I think 609 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: it's a transition year for them if you're willing to. 610 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: You know, we ladder based upon time frames of our investments. 611 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: If you're a long term investor, I think Amazon um 612 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: should be in your portfolio. So, Doug, you've been at 613 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: this game a long time and you've witnessed, like many have, 614 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: the development the evolution of China both as a market 615 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: and as a source of goods and services. We've got 616 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: China reopening here, maybe faster than many people had expected. 617 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: That kind of surprised a lot of people over the 618 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: last month or so, which again that's in my surprise list. 619 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: Um Uh, China would reopen far sooner than expected also, 620 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: and this is coming to pass apparently in the next 621 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: couple of days, as consensus moves in this direction. That's 622 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: your Europe's economic woes won't be as bad as UM 623 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: originally surmised. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I think the 624 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, you take a look at some of the 625 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: European markets, and I know concern is out there for 626 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 1: their recession, but you think you know, as I mentioned 627 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: um to both of you guys last week, I've been 628 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 1: emulating my my dear friend Byron Ween doing my surprise 629 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: list for twenty one years on the Streets Premium site 630 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: Real Money pro And the core reason I do this 631 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: list and look at things non consensus outcomes um is 632 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 1: really to seek, study, and embrace these low probability outcomes 633 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: that I believe have a higher probability of occurring than 634 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: the herd believes. And I think I think we learn 635 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: over the years. I least I have a number of 636 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: important core lessons which I've learned which formed the foundation 637 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 1: of the list. The first is that how wrong conventional 638 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: wisdom can consistently be. The second is that uncertainty is 639 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: going to persist. Thirdly, to expect the unexpected. And fourth, 640 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 1: we seem to be seeing occurrences of black Swan events 641 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 1: growing with greater frequency. Hey, Doug, one of the biggest 642 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: stories in is Elon Musk. Do you have a surprise 643 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: for Elon Musk's storyline? Well, I had, I do, and 644 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: but the real Okay, I'll give you this first before 645 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: I talked about the surprise, I'll tell you what my 646 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: surprise was last year. My surprise that would was that 647 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos would buy for the greatest 648 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: loss of personal wealth in any twelve month history and 649 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: that occurred to each lost between eighty and ninety billion 650 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,919 Speaker 1: dollars this year. One of my surprises is that Musk 651 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: reverses his decision to resign as CEO of Twitter, where 652 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: he engineers an amazing recovery in sales and profits, but 653 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: he resigns this position at Tesla as the company suffers 654 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: from a rapidly changing competitive landscape and boardening custom with 655 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: the satisfaction, and that Tesla shares trade under eighty dollars 656 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: a share. But Twitter has taken public and Musk's investment 657 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: in Twitter has made whole all right? Where are you 658 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: going to be? February twenty six? Are you going to 659 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: see the Atlanta Braves against the ginormous New York Yankees? 660 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: Thirty three days, fourteen hours, eleven minutes. There is seven 661 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: seconds to spring training. I look at the rotation. I mean, 662 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: are the Yankees this year?
