All the signs are and all the trend 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: lines indicate that inflation is more likely to accelerate. We 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: got to go back to to find capital levels in 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: the banking industry as high as they are today, and 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: that affects the r E.

We're really not there. 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: To begin the hour, John Gallib with us with RBC 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: Capital Markets and John, you know, we've talked about a 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: number of things this morning, but let's go now to 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: your treatment of revenue misses and revenue beats. When I 36 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: talked to David Wilson, it's like mismssmisbeat, miss missbeat. It 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: seems to be more mrs and beats. Am I right? No, 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: you're you're not. I mean, if you look at this 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: earning season, what you've had is some really huge headline misses. 40 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: So you've had some you know, big tech companies like 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: Microsoft and and the like. But if you if you look, 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: seventy five plus percent of companies are are surprising the UM. 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: I think the media beat is something like seven percent. 44 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: So it was a from a growth perspective, this was 45 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: a softy earning season. But companies did you know, much 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: better than expected? So then how do you model forward? 47 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: If we I mean a lot of headlines out we're 48 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: now read on the sp A five hundred for the year, 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: woe is me, malaise? You're an enthusiastic guy, temper or 50 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: gauge now your bullishness into the end of the year. 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: What So I'll start with what the what Wall Street 52 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: is expecting? So what all these analysts are a Kimberling expecting, 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: which is something in the ballpark of a flat earnings 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: year over year in the second quarter, maybe three or 55 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: four percent in the in the third, and maybe six 56 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: or seven percent in the fourth. So what we're expecting 57 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: is not gangbuster earnings growth, but improving artist But then 58 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: what supports forget about whether you want to acquire shares 59 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Monday or not. What supports equity besides FED policy is 60 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: it use of cash is that cash free cash flow 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: is that's what's gonna be. Well, I think that's that's 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: something that's really underestimated. What you have is right now 63 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: is companies in an environment where economic growth is really 64 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: weak are returning more capital to shareholders. If you if 65 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: you take buy backs and dividends, the amount the companies 66 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: take up their earnings and give it back to the marketplace. 67 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: UM stocks are yielding four point seven percent. Now a 68 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: ten year bond is yielding you know what is it? 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: One eight one eight five right now? So stocks relative 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: to anything else are very walks through this. Now, if 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: you have a dividend of two three per set in 72 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: the United States, higher dividends in Europe again, and then 73 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: you overlay on top of that the quote unquote dividend 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: from share buy backs and from dividend growth right right, 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and that gets you up near five. That's blended throughout, 76 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: including ugly oil. That's correct. And if you look at 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, our guess is that once oil prices recover 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: a bit, you can that that four point seven year 79 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: can go as high as the low fives. It's much 80 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: higher than it is in Europe. Europe has a much 81 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: higher dividend, but they don't buy back their share so 82 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: they pay everything out at dividends. In the US, companies 83 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: are returning much more capital back to the market. Ter 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: Tag was when this city group earlier this morning, and 85 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: he talks about the idea of more stock for stock transactions, 86 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: the currency of M and he seems to be changing. 87 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: How does that roll into the stock market if every 88 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: stock out there's richly priced and use this currency, But 89 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see the stock market as being 90 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: particularly richly pricing right now. The multiple on stocks is seventeen. 91 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: Historically on our has been fourteen. But you you know, 92 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: you and I know that the rain has gone from 93 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: six four. You know, so we are we're you know, 94 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: we're a little above average. Stocks are not crazy priced. 95 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: And I think you hit the point cash flow back 96 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: to shareholders and what how attractive that is compared to 97 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: other alternatives. Is the only way that you should be 98 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: looking at the value of stock today? Has there been 99 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: a seat change in thinking in corporate suites when you 100 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: look at the m d NA, the management discussion and 101 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: analysis in the end your report to me, there's been 102 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: a permanent psychological, psychological change in use of cash in 103 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: corporate America do you fold that into your research? So 104 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: right now, for example, companies of the of the dollar 105 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: to earning, they're returning over of that is being is 106 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: basically free cash flow that can go back to shareholders. 107 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: If you go back fifteen twenty years ago, that was 108 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: about seventy So they are much more shareholder focused. On 109 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: the other thing, which is a big change. UM executives 110 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: fully realized maybe something the Fed doesn't, that we are 111 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: in a slow growing world. It's the world we live in, 112 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: and they are managing their businesses for that. So they 113 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,119 Speaker 1: are using less capital, holding less inventory, being tighter about 114 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: their use of capital. So they're really managing optimally for 115 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: this kind of environment. John Gallup with this RBC Capital 116 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: Market Stine Mackie to join us here uh in a bit, 117 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: Futures up, four down, futures up thirty seven. We welcome 118 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: all of you worldwide to Bloomberg Surveillance Coast to coast 119 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: as well the most interesting Friday to dive into your 120 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: weekend of reading. I look John Gallup at the at 121 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: the idea of the jure, which is dive it end 122 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: growth in consumer stocks, price to perfection. Let's start with 123 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: the idea I got smart, I owned a consumer stock. 124 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: It's up, up up. How do I hold it? Right now? 125 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: First of all, this this you know, what is a 126 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: consumer stock. So if you look at let's say the 127 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: North Strooms in the May season, Torry, so those traditional 128 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: and they're not and but those companies are I think 129 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: in a much more difficult competitive situation. If you look 130 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: at at um, you know, consumer staples, the stuff that 131 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: we use every day that's not under the same kind 132 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: of pressure, they are generate tremendous free cash flow back 133 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: to shareholders. On three M is not a consumer stock. 134 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: But I use Scotch tape every day, or the house does. 135 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean I'm using it within a broad sense, many 136 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: of these stocks are priced to perfection within this gloom. 137 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: If again, I think if you look at even some 138 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: of these companies that may be trading in the high 139 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: teams in terms of pe suh that if you look 140 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: at what they're what they're return, the cash flow that 141 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: they're generating, the way that they're managing their their businesses, 142 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: and the value of that when interest rates are low, 143 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: and the alternatives for growth or a week. I think 144 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: those companies every passage here is the media's is guilty. 145 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: If this is anyone we quote the cash dividend prosdyke like, 146 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: you don't do that, you quoting your head cash dividend 147 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: plus buy back, et cetera. And the reason is is 148 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: that the U S companies have a certain amount of 149 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: cash and they can do a whole variety of things 150 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: with it. They can retire their debt, they can invest 151 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: in for the future, and when the growth prospects a week, 152 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: they're going to give it back. But economically, whether they're 153 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: doing that in a buy back or doing that in 154 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: a dividend, it really is the same thing because if 155 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: it's a buy back moves your stock price up. If 156 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: it's a dividend, you get the extra cash out. But 157 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: either way, it's a return that you're getting as somebody 158 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: holds the stuff the financials attractive. Here we get realm 159 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: mixed results. I mean, we've got cell Side saying maybe 160 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: not now, but there's a huge glory moment a year out, 161 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: two years out, three years out for the big banks. 162 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: Do you agree? I think it's I think as long 163 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: as interest rates stayed anywhere in the ballpark of where 164 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: they are right now, very very difficult to invest in 165 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: right now, the banks have become a big bet on 166 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: interest rates rather than a bet on their business models 167 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: and their strategic models and such. You know, I don't 168 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: think that's a classic American question. I don't think you 169 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: can't among the big banks. I don't think there's the 170 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't think the regulators can allow for you know, 171 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: major mergency. You may have smaller banks squeezing together for 172 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: some efficiency. So either you're gonna have higher interest rates 173 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: or banks are gonna a bad investment. What do you recommend? 174 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: You work within the institutional space for the most part, 175 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: But what do you recommend for the idea of someone 176 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: with a four oh one care retirement plan. Their heads 177 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: are spinning by definition, they feel behind, even if they're 178 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: not actually behind. How do you find growthiness that helps 179 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: you catch up? You know, we've been talking about this 180 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: idea of stable growth. So there's there's like these these 181 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: mega growers, the facebooks and the Google that are delivering 182 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, massive growth. But then there are companies that 183 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: are in you know, more boring areas like uh syntas 184 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: that you know make you know that that supplies uniforms 185 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: or waste management that holds your your trash, and they 186 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: grow at much lower rates, but they're stable, they're visible, 187 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: you can see it, and there's in a world where 188 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: there's so much uncertainty, investors are willing to pay more 189 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: for those kind of names then than they have in 190 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: the past. And I think that's where they could look 191 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: fift in seconds. Can you buy that pe multiple twenty 192 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: three consumer stock today? Forget about holding it? Can you 193 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: acquire shares at that level? I think you can. And 194 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: I will tell you that institutional investors are really struggling 195 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: with it, and I think they should be buying in. 196 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: But the institutional investors have all their radar of right there. 197 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: They are totally uncomfortable, and that may be the real 198 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: Like the draper guy in Madman today. I mean, it's 199 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: really back to isn't it. I think I think it is. 200 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: I think we will be back to John Galab with 201 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: us at the RBC Capital Markets, will continue this conversation 202 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: on the equity markets and were strapping across the American economy, 203 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: and then we'll move to Dean Mackie point seven two 204 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: as well.

Uh want to 257 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: go to the FED a little bit and and pose 258 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: a question to you that's actually being posed this morning 259 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: by Nick Cholis at the converge X our friend over there, 260 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: He says, how high does the VIX need to go 261 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: in the next three weeks before the FED takes June 262 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: rate increase off the table. That's actually a really sophisticated 263 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: question given what has been doing. In other words, um, 264 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, do you think that the markets are going 265 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: to be extraordinarily volatile around any kind of FED meeting 266 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: and lead the Fed by the nose to some sort 267 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: of conclusion one way or another. I'm looking at something 268 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: a little bit different, which is I think it's about 269 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: the dollar and and and oil. What happened over the 270 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, really since mid February, which is is brought 271 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: the market up and taking all the tension away, is 272 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: that when the FED started to walk away from June 273 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: as a as a potential date for remove um, the 274 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: dollar fell and oil prices skyrocketed. And you can just 275 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: chart them like they're they're a single line. And so 276 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: I think that if the if the dollar starts to 277 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: strengthen and oil falls apart, I think the FED is 278 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: is absolutely out. Other than that, the data is perfectly well. 279 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: When you say the dollar strengthens, what do you mean 280 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: how strong does it have to get? Right now? We're 281 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: no where you're where it peaked earlier in the year. 282 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: And Um, as Bill Dudley said yesterday, isn't that the 283 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: pluy Um? You know, if you if you look at 284 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: the big things that have happened recently, the expectations for 285 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: the industrial sector and for anything which is more global 286 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: trade orient in terms of smp ficks, those companies have 287 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: taken off like a rocket and the expectations for their 288 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: earnings are up huge. Um. The energy sector is you know, 289 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: oil prices have have kind of recovered, and it takes 290 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: a tremendous pressure off of the banking sector and the 291 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: whole all the capital markets to risk in the whole 292 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: market falls down. Um, that whole set of issues is 293 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: really what I think the FED should be or will 294 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: need to be looking at. If if if the market 295 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: things are gonna move in June and it's willing to 296 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: swallow it and not get concerned that oil prices are 297 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: going to roll over again at the global times and 298 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: roll over, then you're from okay, But you work with 299 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: one of the guys doing the best work on wage dynamics. 300 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: Mr Purcelli, When when I agree with everything you're saying 301 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: about oil and dollar new correlations and all that and 302 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: how it comes into FED policy and d x y folks, 303 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: as I showed Monday or Tuesday, is just back into 304 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: the strong dollar range, nowhere near new dollar record strength. 305 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: But Percelli's looking at the wage growth dynamic. When you 306 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: read his work, what do you see? What do we see? 307 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: We see five percent unemployment, which is and and job 308 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: growth is strong enough to that number. Is you're talking 309 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: about d MACKI before expecting, you know, that unemployment rate 310 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: to fall into the midfloors or lower um. You have 311 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: inflation right now. If you look at the data you 312 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: came out this week, you have course cp I running 313 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: over two percent and wages are running ahead of course 314 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: c p I. The economic data tells you that Bill 315 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: Dudley's right defect defects you have moved a long time ago. 316 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: An interest rip B I don't know, a hundred basis 317 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: points higher than it is today. But what they're really 318 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: nervous about is this erupting not just the market, but 319 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: disrupting the economy. And mind you, we're having you know, 320 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: so I think that's the their concern. But if you 321 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: if you made Tom Purcelli the head of the FED 322 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: or most were most economists on Wall Street. I think 323 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: they would tell you Mr Trump would go for that. God, 324 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: don't even don't even uh let me, let me rip 325 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: up the script and change gears from that direction here 326 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: and point out that, Um, what you would expect And 327 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: what happened on Wednesday afternoon was that financials gained when 328 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: the idea of a June move came on and utilities 329 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: got hammered. And but yesterday that reversed. Uh, I mean, 330 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: shouldn't that hole. Shouldn't we see who's gonna in a 331 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: in a June scenario, who does well? Oh? And a 332 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: June scenario, Um, the banks are the single big winner, 333 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: and the utilities and the telcos and the reeds are 334 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: there the single big big loser. And you know the 335 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: rest of the market incrementally, companies that are a little 336 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: bit more cyclical might might might might weaken up a 337 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: little bit like it like you know, big industrial companies. 338 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: But but but the whole thing was I mean, we 339 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: probably did ask you, but I was gonna say, if 340 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: we asked you, and right before the Fed met in December, 341 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: you would have said the financials because of raising rates, 342 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: But that didn't happen. The financials had terrible quarter and 343 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: went down. Is it our rates so low now that 344 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: it really you know, a little move isn't going to 345 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: make a big difference to financials? Well, no, I think 346 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. The lower interest rates are the more 347 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: that the financials become sensitive to you know, to to 348 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: being pulled out by by higher rates. So if we 349 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: were looking at if the tenure bond yield right now 350 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: was three or four percent, I'll tell you right now, 351 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: nobody would care. What the you know, the banks won't 352 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: care that much. We have been wonderful this morning talking 353 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: about twenty multiple stocks and all that we go dynamics. 354 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: Can you buy a pe of ten point five to 355 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: a yield of two point four percent three or dividend 356 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: growth of eleven sent for a year? They sell iPhones? 357 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Apple is extraordinary in the on the bloom 358 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: bird screen that I see in terms of evaluation. Now, 359 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: you know, on the surface the answer is absolutely yes. 360 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: On the other hand, what what the story is over 361 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: there is negative earnings growth um on you know, in 362 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: right now, and that trend is probably going to continue 363 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: to be weak because they've saturated the market and their 364 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: margins are high and and but this is not a 365 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: new story, investors. Is the reason why Apple never got 366 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: the massive you know, we're not in the last piece. 367 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: It got the mass of multiple because because the market 368 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of knew that there was a you know, just 369 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: so many phones that you were going to use, and 370 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: so the market is pricing it for deceleration.
