1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Ye, Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Daily we bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg. The 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: Dow a long from long way from ten percent correction 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: negative four percent, maybe negative five percent, and the VIX 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: that measurement twenty two point three two it was above 8 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: twenty three. To put that in perspective in the great 9 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: markets of Vix's twelve thirteen. Maybe you expand out in 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: the new regime of the VIX to seventeen or eighteen 11 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: and we come out as well. We have the perfect 12 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: guest to frame this this morning, Drewmatics, not only with 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: the clarin An Award winning economic work for years, but 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: it met life now driving forward their strategy as well. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: Drewmatics of till your equity strategy into your first class economics. 16 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: How do you fit those two together right now? Well, 17 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: I you know, I think what you're seeing. Um, so 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: there's there's two factors. One, it's just kind of the 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: risk on, risk off, which we've talked about everyone decided 20 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: they didn't want to be long over the weekend. That 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: seemed to have been the right call this time. UM, 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: and so people went risk off and they were rewarded 23 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: for it. UM. I think if you look ahead, we 24 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: were kind of drifting in this environment where where margin 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: compression was beginning to happen. It looked like, in our 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: view at least corporations, we're begetting to pull back on 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: hiring and we're going to drift into a recession sometime 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: in kind of like the middle of next year. That 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: seemed to be, you know, that was the scenario we 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: were working with. UH. In the current environment, you have 31 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: to you have to maybe be pulling that forward a 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: little bit and thinking to yourself, you know, if these 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: trends continue in terms of disruptions to supply chains, that 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: that you know, maybe, um, maybe those margins compressed a 35 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: little faster, Maybe from back a little faster. Maybe they're 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: disinclined to invest heading into something where they have as 37 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: much uncer and t is the average consumer has drew. 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Is the concept of a V shaped recovery dead? I no, 39 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: I but I think you know it requires the right 40 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: kind of construct. But I think what what you're pointing towards, though, 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: is something that I think a lot of people have 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: focused on, which is um for the vast majority of people, 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: not the vast majority of people, but for a lot 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: of people. And for I think the vast majority of 45 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: people on Wall Street actually who actually are are charged 46 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: with trading. Uh, two thousand eight is the recession. They know, 47 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: that's the only recession they know. They don't remember two 48 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: thousand one, where if you blinked you could have missed it. Um. 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: They don't remember kind of the slowdown. UM. So you know, 50 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: the the actual life experience for a lot of people 51 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: on Wall Street, it doesn't include recessions that don't look 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: like two thousand eight. And and so I don't think 53 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: a two thousand eight V shaped re car I don't 54 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: think a V shaped recovery is dead. But you're not 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: going to get one if you have a recession like 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Fortunately we're not expecting one like 57 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. So, Drew, I mean a lot 58 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: of times we've been talking over the last week or two, 59 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: is this coronavirus kind of evolved and we saw a 60 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: lot of impacts, say in the commodity markets, in the 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: bond market, we didn't necessarily see a concern consistent in 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: the equity markets. Maybe we're seeing a little bit of 63 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: it today. Are you concerned that maybe the equity markets 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: is not are not discounting the long term economic impacts 65 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: of what a coronavirus could mean. Uh? You know, I 66 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: I think that they're struggling with it, and I think 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: that's that's the problem is this. Uh it's very hard 68 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: to assign weighted probabilities to all the different outcomes because 69 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: there's so many potential outcomes. Uh. And then if you 70 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: take that sector by sector and company by company, you 71 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: just you could drive yourself nuts going through the permutations. Um. 72 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: And so people then just go into do I want 73 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: to be along the market? Do I want to be 74 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: short the market? And people are now saying, hey, you 75 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to be along it because 76 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on and I think that 77 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: kind of environment is going to continue. So I'm struggling though, 78 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: because I'm looking right now at the FED model. This 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: has been one of the big humans for why to 80 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: buy stocks that basically bond yields go lower, making the 81 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: relative valuation case for stocks better. Today that valuation case 82 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: got a whole lot better. Even still, as thirty year 83 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: treasury yields go further into record low territory, why shouldn't 84 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: people buy this dip? Well, it's not a so we 85 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: don't really focus on equities in my life. But I'll 86 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: just I'll just say this. This is why you can't 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: just blindly follow models. Right. The question is the relationship 88 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: is a good and an interesting one to use as 89 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: a factor. All right, so components your model. But if 90 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: you just close your eyes and say it doesn't matter 91 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: why the bond yield is going down, then you're going 92 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: to put yourself into a situation where you're taking more 93 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: risk than you ever thought was possible. Uh, and you're 94 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: and you're blind to it because you're following this model 95 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: that just works off of why the yield is moving, 96 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: or that the yield is moving, rather than why is 97 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: the yield moving? And that's that's why I don't really 98 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: worry about artificial intelligence. You know, like I play my 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: son and you know in FIFA, and it's like the 100 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: A I never does what I wanted to do um 101 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: and and I'm thinking to myself, can't even run the 102 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: soccer probes explain why the Thoughts got crushed by Chelsea 103 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: this weekend for the failure, but my son was happy 104 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: to see the bluest triumph over over Tottenham. Oh really, 105 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: thank you? I mean John emails in where John John 106 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: emails in from Turks and Caicos No excuse me antigua 107 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: of course more. You know it's fancier Farrell, he wanted 108 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: he brought this up. Chelsea like crushed the Thoughts this weekend. 109 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: Farrell's not even Lisa's like, what I'm learning, I'm studying? Yeah, 110 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: she's yes, so am I let met me tell you 111 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: every day. This is really critical. You say that MetLife 112 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: isn't focused on uh stocks, that's because it's an adult 113 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: house focused on our futures. Do you assume going to 114 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: work every day that your actual assumption is going to 115 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: come down and that that locked in boggie rate that 116 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: we have is not going to be ex percent. It's 117 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: going to come down down, down, you know. I. I 118 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: think what we assume is, um, we have to plan 119 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: for every environment that we can imagine UM. And I 120 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: think when you think about the current world we've been 121 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: in for a long time, we've been in a very 122 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: low rate environment for a very long period of time, 123 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: and I think you know, the ongoing assumption you know 124 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: has been you know, you can't expect just because you 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: want you'ld to move higher, you can't expect that they 126 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: are going to move higher. Do you sell jump ons here? Uh? 127 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: You know, I leave that to our credit portfolio managers. 128 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: How about so all right, we're more than eighty percent 129 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: away through the earnings this quarter? Your key takeaways here? 130 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: Do you feel a little bit better? You feel a 131 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: little bit more concerned the last time I looked at earnings? 132 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: What what you know? So one of our one of 133 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: our thoughts is, you know, when you're trying to time 134 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: the recession, how do you time it? And the way 135 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: that I'm trying to work it is looking at the 136 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: erosion of margins in the economy as a whole, So 137 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: not just SMP five hundreds. So but if we look 138 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: at if we look at those earnings numbers, I'm seeing 139 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: revenue go up and I'm seeing or you know, um 140 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: earnings go up by less and so that tells me 141 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: that the margins are compressing a little bit further. So 142 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: it's consistent with our view that that erosion is continuing Um, 143 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: and that's you know, you know, absent other factors. It 144 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: still looks to me like one is when we have 145 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: to really think about there being a recession in the US. 146 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: Drew manis thank you so much for that right now 147 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: on politics and we'll be jumping back and forth on 148 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: this end of the Tuesday UH debate in South Carolina, 149 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: Todd Marianna joins us from eur Asia Group. Todd. Every weekend, 150 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: I go, I have a panic, and I go, I 151 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: gotta get smarter fast on something. And without question, off 152 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: of Mr Saunders relative performance in Las Vegas and Nevada. UM, 153 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: I had to read it on a Latino vote. Latino vote, 154 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: help me here? How important will Latino vote be? Super Tuesday? 155 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Good morning, Tom. Great to be with you as always, 156 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: And I think we're all of that same camp these days, 157 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: given uh all that's going on in politics, trying to 158 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: get smart on things over the weekend. The Latino vote is, 159 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's something that's become of increasing importance 160 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: to US politics generally, Um, but of critical importance to 161 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: winning the Democratic nomination, and Nevada showed that very clearly. 162 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: But UM, you know we've known that for several cycles. Now, 163 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: what I think is different here in Nevada is the 164 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: fact that a candidate like Sanders could come out with 165 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: entrance polls, you know, uh, indicating that he had above 166 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: fifty Latino vote. He struggled with minority votes the last 167 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: time around. And again, as we said, we've known for 168 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: several cycles that Latino vote is growing. That's places like 169 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, South Carolina, Texas obviously, but across the South 170 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: and even the Midwest. So the fact that a candidate 171 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: like Sanders could get that kind of draw, I think 172 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: is a real important lesson of Nevada. The money question 173 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: this morning, Greg Valier wrote it up. I know you've 174 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: been looking at it as well, is if Sunder Sanders prevails, 175 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: is a Democratic House at risk? I think it is 176 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: at risk. You know what, what exactly that risk is, 177 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: um kind of remains to be determined. It's still it's 178 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: still early to say, but I mean, I think the 179 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: fact that it's at least at risk is what's motivating 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: a lot of Democratic leaders and the elites as a 181 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: party to have feared of Bernie Sanders candidacy, you know, 182 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: from from the get go, from t and certainly continuing 183 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: through this cycle. UM, you know, you you don't look 184 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: at the national level there, you look on a district 185 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: by district basis, where you know, Republicans are going to 186 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: hammer a message, an anti socialist message, and in places like, 187 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: for example, the Virginia seventh district, which which was flipped 188 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: very very famously in UM, that message will probably resonate. 189 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: So it's it's at least at risk. But we don't 190 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: know is how many new people and disaffected voters Bernie 191 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: could turn out at the polls. That's that's the real 192 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: argument behind his candidacy. But the risk is clearly there. 193 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: So Todd, what's ex what's at stake on the debate 194 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: tomorrow in South Carolina? Number one? I think that Um, 195 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg certainly has has you know, some some work 196 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: to do, I think to uh to get past the 197 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: you know what what happened last week, and you know 198 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: many indications that that certainly can happen. We we've seen 199 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: that before. Um. You know, Joe Biden another he's another 200 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: I think strong debate performance to uh solidify his lead 201 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: in South Carolina. Last year, bid Fleet in South Carolina 202 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: was you know, double digits, getting into the twenties at points, 203 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: and you know, on average, he's up about three points 204 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: about over standers now, So that's good news for Biden 205 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: if you can take home in South Carolina went heading 206 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: into Super Tuesday. But the fact that it's so close 207 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: means that um certainly that I think there's more pressure 208 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: on him in in this debate than before. The third 209 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: thing I'd say is whether the candidates can really kind 210 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: of circle the wagons and attack Burnie Sanders if they 211 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: really don't want him to be the nominee. I think 212 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: it behooves them to stop fighting among themselves for you 213 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: to say the moderate vote and uh and and turn 214 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: on him. But there's there's certainly a sense among campaign 215 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: strategies that it that it might be too late. Do 216 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned Michael Bloomberg, the founder a majority owner of 217 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Bloomberg LP, the owner of this radio station and Bloomberg News, 218 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: And I am wondering if this is a make it 219 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: or break it moment for him, given that he was 220 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: widely panned and his performance at the last debate. I 221 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: don't think it's naked or break it for him because 222 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: he is he's self financed number one and all along 223 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: he's had a Super Tuesday strategy. So the real maker 224 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: breaks with him, I think comes on Tuesday, where he's 225 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: already made you very significant in rows across a whole 226 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: host of states that you know that it's been a 227 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: little bit surprising, and I think a reflection of the 228 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: weakness of some other candidates in the race that just 229 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: be undecided of Democratic voters in general. But it's it's 230 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: clearly a very important moment for him, I think, to 231 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: keep that momentum going facing you know, the American public again, 232 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: of which he had not you know, up until his 233 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: debate last week. So Todd, you know, if I'm the 234 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee, if I'm the establishment, the Democratic establishment, 235 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: how am I thinking about Bernie Sanders here to the 236 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: extent that he is the front runner and his potential 237 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: in November. I think I think you're very worried, you know, 238 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: quite frankly, because, uh, the argument for Bernie is that 239 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: he could be like Trump in and you know, the 240 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: sort of anti establishment vote could confound expectations and you know, 241 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: provide a lot of surprise, uh in this in this race. 242 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: But the reason you're worried is that Bernie is so 243 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: much more extreme, you know, across the board, uh than 244 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: than Trump as ever was. Trump has you know, many 245 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: positions which are very orthodox Republican views on you know, 246 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: economic policy judges, things like that. Bernie, there's not an 247 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: issue out there on which he's not extreme. So they're 248 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: they're very nervous because again, like I was saying, that 249 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: argument for his candidacy was completely contested. I mean, this 250 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: came up over cocktails last night and and uh, todmer 251 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: Marianna with us your Aisier group right now. I mean, 252 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: who of the candidates would you see dovetail with Senator 253 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: Sanders if he tries to put together a ticket. I mean, 254 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's ridiculous to talk about a vice presidential 255 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: prospect right now. I get that. But are all of 256 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: these different candidates so removed from his democratic socialism that 257 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: they would be uncomfortable even standing with him? I think 258 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: most of them would be. And so you know, again 259 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: you could you could see something very similar to to 260 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: Trump sixteen, where Bernie would be reaching beyond you know, 261 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: the the usual back bench, the usual names that are 262 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: that are floated here. Um. I mean, you know, people 263 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: talk about a potential Lawrence Sanders tickets. I I myself think, uh, 264 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: you know, standers would probably look for, you know, a 265 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: little bit more diversity in in the ticket, but you know, 266 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: in terms of policy positions, the establishment will pressure him 267 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: to moderate. I think Bernie could credibly argue that he 268 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: hasn't gotten this far by moderating. Is there any is 269 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: there any history of Senator Sanders quote unquote moderating If 270 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: if there is, it's not significant, and I'm and I'm 271 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: not aware of it. You know, his his views are 272 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: are very similar to you know, what they what they 273 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: were in the nineteen eighties. When you hear sometimes is 274 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: that his support for certain groups, especially in foreign policy, 275 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: has you know, has moderated versus some of the people 276 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: he was supporting in the nineteen eighties, which will hear 277 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: plenty about if he's the nominee against Trump, Latin dictatorships 278 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: and all that kind of Well, there's a question here 279 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: to about momentum and how much moment tim the Democrats 280 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: have or don't have due to how big the field is. 281 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: Who are the next candidates that you expect to drop out? 282 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: I think the spotlight is really on Elizabeth Warren and 283 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: Amy Clobature. For me, I think Pete boota judge probably 284 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: has enough money to stay in through Super Tuesday. Elizabeth 285 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Warren probably does as well. But you know, unlike boota 286 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: judge who at least had good results in Ireland at Hampshire, 287 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, Warren has been you know, sort of relegated 288 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: in the ranking so far. I think that's why you 289 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: saw her pivot back to sort of protecting the progressive 290 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: agenda in the debate rather than necessarily you know, selling 291 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: her own candidacy. There's not really a state on Super 292 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: Tuesday in which she u is very likely to win. 293 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: She's competitive in her homestead of Massachusetts. Clobature is also 294 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: competitive in Minnesota, which both Super Tuesday. Um, but both 295 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: of them. I think the odds are against their Their 296 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: candidacy is going a lot further. The trouble there is that, um, 297 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: you know, that's not going to provide much of a 298 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: tailwind for the other candidates and the Ray simply because 299 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: they're not um you know, uh, grabbing a whole lot 300 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: of boat share at the moment. Anyway, let's leave it there. 301 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Todd, Marianna, thank you so much 302 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: for the briefing. Here is all everybody tries to adjust 303 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: digest Rather what we saw Saturday and onto that CBS 304 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: debate Tuesday in Charleston, South Carolina. Our focus this morning, 305 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: as in the last twelve hours, has been on the 306 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: spread of the virus and the let's be clear here, 307 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: there's been no annwn statement of epidemic to pandemic, and 308 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: yet that is a source of conversation this morning. We 309 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: need a briefing now on China and get that in 310 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Beijing from our Selena waiting Selena, Selena very simply here, 311 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: is there a better outlook on a Monday into your 312 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: Tuesday in China? Well, Tom, the only outlook that seems 313 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: to be somewhat improving, it's at the rate of use. 314 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: Who they taught in China do seem to be stabilizing that. 315 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: As you said, the conversation is now growing around whether 316 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: or not the World Health Organization escalates this from an 317 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: international public health emergency to a global pandemic, which essentially 318 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: means us a sustained during of cases outside of that 319 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: outbreak area. And because there's seeing an increased cases outside 320 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: of China and Italy, new cases emerging in the Middle East, 321 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: a very strong ramp up of stasies in South Korea, 322 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: that does beg the question of just how much faster 323 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: this is when to continue to accelerate outside of the 324 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: center of the outbreak, Selena, can you put that into 325 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: perspective when we hear about a reopening of some of 326 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: the previously quarantined areas in China, is this because basically 327 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: Beijing is admitting conceding that containment has failed, so we 328 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: aren't seeing the reopening of the lockdown area. There was 329 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: a bit of confusion, so essentially, at first China had 330 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: released a statement allowing some travel for non residents out 331 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: side of the hunt, but then that was very shortly reversed. 332 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: The top officials said that that was not authorized, that 333 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: was a mistake. So this has brought a lot of 334 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: continued confusion after Cuba Province has changed their county methodology 335 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: multiple times over the past month as well. But to 336 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: put things into perspective, there are now more than seventy 337 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: seven thousand cases in China. This is still the vast 338 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: majority of total cases around the world. You do still 339 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: have sweeping craft downs in terms of travel restrictions and 340 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: quarantines across the country. You have seen some provinces sees 341 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: that slightly, but overall people's travel and movement are still 342 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: respected across the country. So Selena, give us a sense 343 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: of one of the areas that we've been seeing some 344 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: reporting recently, is this concept getting back to work in China. 345 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: What is the expectation of the government of trying to 346 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: ramp up production, get people back into the factories back 347 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: to work. Where are we in that regard, Yeah, exactly, 348 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: that's a really the problem right now is trying to 349 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: get those migrant workers that are stuck in their hometowns 350 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: to get back to their place of work. For instance, 351 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: in Beijing, they had earlier instituted this looking day quarantine 352 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: for people who were coming back for places outside of Beijing, 353 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: so a lot of people have a trouble getting out 354 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: of their city, but be also are buried that once 355 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: when they get to where they need to be that 356 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: they're going to have to be self quarantined again. So 357 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: that's been a really big problem because according to Boomberg Economics, 358 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: China's econmuny is only running about half of its capacity 359 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: over the past week, and a lot of these companies 360 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: as well are having trouble paying their employees. Access. Survey 361 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: of small and medium sized companies in China said that 362 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: only a third of them had enough cash to cover 363 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: expenses for a month. What do you see on the streets? 364 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Selena, through the weekend and into your all 365 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: day Monday. Now it's there. Let's call it seven pm 366 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: almost eight p m Monday evening. What did you actually 367 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: observe in the streets this weekend. Well, it's really interesting 368 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: because across Beijing, different communities, how different levels of activities. 369 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: So around where I live at a pretty commercial disference, 370 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: and it's still very quiet. A lot of shops and 371 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: restaurants are still closed. Everybody is required to wear masks 372 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: out side, a lot of big public gatherings are are 373 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: not allowed to occur. And if you lost when I 374 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: just went over the weekend, when East do a mall 375 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: and there are some more residential areas, you actually started 376 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: to see more movement on the streets. And actually some 377 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: of the public parks not quite crowded. I went to 378 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: Reton Park. The elderly folk still exercising and walking out 379 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: and about with the government does not encourage that, but 380 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: people are really getting stick inside of being stuck inside 381 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: all day. Selena, thank you so much. Loved that anecdotal 382 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: work from Beijing as well. Selena Wayne reporting from Beijing. 383 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Let's dive into a global Wall Street conversation, and this 384 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: really works to Lesa's theme this morning, which is Catharsis. 385 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: Stewart Kaiser writes exceptionally detailed notes for Ubs on the 386 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: moments of the mark. This is the mathematics. You know, 387 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: the bell curve in high school folks. And then there's 388 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: a squishiness to the bell curve, which is variants and 389 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: a thing called skewness or skewness if you're British. And 390 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: then this thing called crotosis, which is not the mold 391 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: in your feet. Right now, do you have any idea, 392 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: Mr Kaiser, where the cross moments are right now? Well, 393 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean obviously this uh the move this morning. You're 394 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: gonna change things a little bit um on the pricing 395 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: if you look at it coming into this week, you know, 396 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: the vix curved flattened out, which is sort of what 397 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: happens when the market is a little bit confused about 398 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: what's going on. Um, what we're gonna see today, which 399 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: we are seeing, is the curve getting very steeply inverted 400 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: and effectively, if you think of what the VIX is, 401 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: the vix is the twenty five delta put implied volatility loosely, 402 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: which is telling you it's the price for protection to 403 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: head your portfolio, and that's back above twenty. So what 404 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: you're seeing is a very big bid for skew and 405 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: that's happening in the US, that tends to happen in 406 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: the SMP. This is great. I mean, this suppis will 407 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: be jargonted a hockey games alta new Jerseys out in 408 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: the Garden State Parkway and drove off the road three 409 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: times on let's unpass what you said in English. The 410 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: bottom line is, guys like you look at the dynamics 411 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: of the volatility of the SMP five hundred as a 412 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: guestimate of confidence in the market. Did I get that right? Yeah? 413 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: So the victure is gonna tell you two things. Just 414 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna tell you how concerned people are, I how much 415 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: they're willing to pay for insurance. And then because there's 416 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: a term structure, they'll tell you when they want that insurance. 417 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: And what you see when the market is really really 418 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: stressed like it is today, is they want insurance really badly, 419 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: and they wanted a meetia. I'm like, come on, this 420 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: is an August of two thousand seven or August. I mean, 421 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: how stressed is stressed today? Sweeney's you know, got you 422 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: get your brokers on the phone here, you're not ready 423 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: to do a toime keen you go all to cash? Right? 424 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: How stressed are we? Look? I think there's there's three 425 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: aspects to this. The first is the psychology part, which 426 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: which Amy touched on, which is when we got the 427 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: initial sell off on China, it was relative. It's at 428 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: least Amy Amy's in last week It's ok, you can 429 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: call me Amy, it's two sell of it worked, I apologize, 430 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: ke So what happened in late January was the market 431 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: didn't sell off very much, and that's suggested by the mentality. Um. 432 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: We think that also might have been impacted by the 433 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: fact that people would already hedge their portfolios against election 434 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: risk because you had all that coming in early February. 435 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: The second thing is what's going on with growth? And 436 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: last week what we saw in Europe was the p 437 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: m I S printed strong, but within the p M 438 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: I S was a very long increase in delivery times. 439 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: Typically that's right, is positive for growth. We actually read 440 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: that as negative for growth because what that means today 441 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: is that the supply change, you're getting massively disrupted. The 442 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: third part is you know what's going on from a 443 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: global perspective, and you know this is now affected the 444 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: West and it's in Europe, so that's gonna you know, 445 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: hit a third aspect of us. You're seeing three sort 446 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: of impacts I think on the market. So from a 447 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: technical perspective, there's a question do you sell your holdings 448 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: if this is going to be temporary. How much do 449 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: you look at the VIX curve? How much do you 450 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: look at what people are doing there as a way 451 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: of hedging without selling, sort of the knee jerk response 452 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: that could give some sense of just how much fear 453 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: could end up bleeding in to the market and causing 454 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: forced sales. Yeah, look, I mean I think the mentality 455 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: market is probably still too by the dip um. But 456 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: when you see these types of moves in the market, 457 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the SMP is down almost two and a 458 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: half percent overnight. I think the worst selloff we had 459 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: in January was probably one to one and a half percent, 460 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: So this is a different degree of it. So I 461 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: think generally speaking, what you're probably going to see is 462 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: people keep their core portfolio intact and hedge it unless 463 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: and until and so then. In other words, how much 464 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: do you have to see the vics spike up from 465 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: here right now? At one point it was the most 466 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: since two thousand and eighteen. How much more do we 467 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: have to see before we really are starting to feel 468 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: the capitulation? The catharsis at least expressed in derivatives. I 469 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: think from my perspective, you know, come and talk to 470 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: me when it's on a handle um and I think 471 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: that that type of level suggests, like in the scrim 472 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: and in discriminate hedge, what's the bet in the market 473 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: right now? I mean, Paul helped me here. The the 474 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: idea that we've seen is institutional money has been comfortable 475 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: in bonds, in cash and has been reticent to pile 476 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: into equities. Is at a generally correct statement? I think? 477 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the tenure on one thirty night time. 478 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: What do you do? I mean, what's the what's the 479 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: bet on the street right now? Around the derivative strategies 480 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: you live in every day? I mean, what are people 481 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: putting on? Look at? I think what you've actually seen? 482 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: You think more Grave Simmons is taking over products that 483 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: I would say what I think you've seen more generally 484 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: is two things. One some hedging, usually or mostly around 485 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: election risks, and the second is people frankly buying upside 486 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: in more cyclical parts of the market on the assumption 487 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: that US growth is going to bottom at the end 488 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: of the first quarter of the early second quarter, and 489 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: this China thing is gonna be temporary. And I want 490 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: to explosure. Let's go a Greek letter right now. How 491 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: are you managing Gamma right now? The second derivative the 492 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: accelerations in the market. Are you thrilled to buy Gamma 493 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: and believe we're going to accelerate or you selling it 494 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: bringing in premium because you think the acceleration call is wrong. 495 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a very hard thing to estimate what 496 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: the neck Gamma position, but we do that Gama. I 497 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: would say that generally the street has probably been caught 498 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: short Gamma for the most excuse me, um, excuse me. 499 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: The market is generally been caught long Gamma. The street has. 500 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: And the reason what happens when that happened is when 501 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: the market moves. You have selling. When market was up, 502 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: you have selling. Me the market moves down to your buying, 503 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: and that's one of the reasons that market has been 504 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: so well behaved recently because the street just kind of 505 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: been in that position and will that change today? It could? 506 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: You know, we're busting chops here, folks, but Stewart kais 507 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: just killing it here on how adults on Wall st 508 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: long gamma they did flock of seagulls like, alright, alphabeta 509 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: gamma delta. What am I buying here? To say? What 510 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: do you think? What are you seeing on your desk? 511 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: You know, you know, maybe over the last several days, 512 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: are people kind of going out on the risk curve 513 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: or they saying I'm pulling in my horns. I'm kind 514 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: of going conservatives. From from an equity perspective, I think 515 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: people were moving up the risk curve until the middle 516 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: of last week, and the the Apple News last week 517 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: caught people, I think a little bit wrong footed. And 518 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because most people expected 519 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: this to be a very sharp V shaped recovery and 520 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: the Apple you know, the speed with which they were 521 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: willing to cut or you know, say we're gonna miss 522 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: our guidance basically in less than two weeks. I think 523 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: people say, wait a second, is this going to be 524 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 1: a deeper pullback or perhaps some more pronounced pullback than 525 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: I expected. If a company of that size is willing 526 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: to move their guidance that quickly, so I think that 527 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: was kind of shot across the bow. And now what 528 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: you see in the last couple of days is obviously 529 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: a different but an acceleration or an expansion of that. 530 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: This has been a wonderful Stewart Kaiser, thank you so much. 531 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: With UBS really adult RelA, we again we protect the 532 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: copyright of all of our guests. If you want this 533 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: exquisite mathematics from UBS, get it from UBS. Mr Kaiser, 534 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: how to derivatives there with right now we start strong 535 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: with Christina Hooper. She is with strategy at Investco. Christine 536 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: and Arianna Cuta Dakota published in Bloomer Opinion in the 537 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: last hour. Very important statement. This from the former head 538 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: of the Minneapolis Fed and now at Rochester, one of 539 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: our great mathematicians, great students of the dynamics of the economy. 540 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: He says, the Fed can't wait, they should cut rates now. 541 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: He even says, or fifty basis points, what's the urgency 542 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: of the Fed to accommodate this virus? I'm not sure 543 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: there should be an urgency of the FED. I think 544 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with business confidence, 545 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: and if we do see an erosion there, that's when 546 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: the FED does need to step in, at least to 547 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: make more statements that suggests that it stands ready to 548 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: provide an insurance cut for the purposes of fending off 549 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: the negative impact of the coronavirus. I don't. I don't 550 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: think there's a sense of urgency yet, although there does 551 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: seem to be a feeling of I know, earlier today 552 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: you talked about how it felt like a controlled sell off. 553 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: I think that changed a bit out of control. I 554 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: think that's not a bit out of control sincent exactly. 555 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: And so I think that the said has to be 556 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: measured and thoughtful. It can't be completely reactionary, but is 557 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: clearly um suggested that it's willing to provide insurance cuts 558 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: just by its behavior last year and the way we 559 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: triangulate that. Folks on the Bloomberg and I've got the 560 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: Bloomberg launch pad in front of me. It's got probably 561 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty data points. As you triangulate, Paul, 562 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: certain trends away from the blunt instrument of the vix 563 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: at twenty three point two one to tape a little 564 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: better in the last fifteen minutes. I triangulate by looking 565 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: at stronger yet and critically Paul to Christina's perfect point, 566 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: how we've given away to a little bit of sweat 567 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: Nimex crew. The West Texas Intermediate was a solid fifty one. 568 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: It's now fifty point nine five, down two dollars three cents, 569 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: So that's oil giving way as well. Yeah, that's down 570 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: four and a half percent, so clearly reflecting potentially our 571 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: global growth. Christina. So when you look at the price 572 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: performance this morning, is this healthy? Is this a reasonable 573 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: reaction to what is a dynamic story as it relates 574 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: to the coronavirus. Well, I think it may not be reasonable, 575 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: but it is perfectly understandable given that markets in the 576 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: short term are voting machines and only in the longer 577 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: term are weighing machines. So I think it's it's perfectly 578 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: understandable and not surprising. What I'm a bit more surprised 579 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: about is what we've seen with the plummet in UH 580 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 1: yields on treasuries UH to see where the tenure is, 581 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: where the thirty year is is a bit surprising, especially 582 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: since I've always believed that the Tenure U S Treasury 583 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: yield is a better fear gage than the vix Um. 584 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: But I will tell you, I'll give you the caveat 585 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: that the Tenure does not have medical training, and I 586 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: think that's an important point to make. We'll believe their 587 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: Christine over way too short today, but very very valuable 588 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: on of course, so she is with invest what we're 589 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna do as we drive forward through this half, however, 590 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: special coverage with do we get the negative one thousand? 591 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't think. We don't think first we bounced up 592 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: a hundred points negative eight fifty nine now on the 593 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: Dow that we're gonna bring in a select number of guests, 594 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: all of them with different views. Cameron christ joins us 595 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: now with Bloomberg, and of course he has a wonderful 596 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: ability to synthesize correlation into all this. Cameron, what do 597 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: you see within the correlations of the market. Well, I 598 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: mean right now, everything is uh uh, it is pricing 599 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: fair right um for the equi market. That's a relatively 600 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: recent phenomenon. Obviously we had last month's episode, but it 601 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: was only a few days ago. This time last week, 602 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: we were pretty much the dingy um treasury or government bonds. 603 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: I've been fairly consistent since the whole virus thing um 604 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: broke UH pricing risk aversion. I think it's the previous 605 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: gustum guest mentioned. And the interesting nexus in between the 606 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: two is credit um, where I think you can are 607 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: you that high yield at the moment is trading like 608 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: a government bond um, and that is pretty unsustainable if 609 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: there is a legitimate economic hit um that spreads from 610 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: the from from the virus. That looks like a particular 611 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: point of vulnerability to name, How does factor investing play 612 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: into this? Paul just mentioned. You know, it can be 613 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: the virus, or it can be other things as well. 614 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: When you look at the vogue of momentum or value 615 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: or style investment and all the other almost marketing ideas 616 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: wrapped around a legitimate finance theory called factors, how do 617 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: factors play in when you see a four or five 618 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: drop from the top and intiquities, Well, I think what's 619 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: happening is that you've got an increasing number investors piling 620 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: into an increasingly narrow range of night um, whether it's 621 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: hedge funds or retail kind of everybody has decided that 622 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: they cap tech um is where to be. And it 623 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: takes a lot of the boxes that you see in 624 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: terms of these factors, certainly in terms of momentum UH, 625 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 1: in terms of growth, which as we know, has trounced value, 626 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: and insofar as the human animal is ultimately a momentum 627 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: based animal, deducing that that which happened yesterday and that 628 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: which happens today is likely to happen tomorrow. UM, that 629 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: we've got everyone kind of long these these relatively narrow 630 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: basket of names. The risk, obviously is if it goes wrong, UM, 631 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: that the exit door might not be sufficiently large to 632 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: accommodate everyone who wants to get out at the same time. 633 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: And Um. The upshot, I think is that liquidity is 634 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: going to be is going to is going to be 635 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: at a premium, and the volatility of volatility UH is 636 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: going to remain elevant. It's very important, folks, that phrase 637 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: of volatility of volatility is Mr christ gets a little 638 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: Matthew Paul, let me frame uh here where we are 639 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: on the opening. We're down five point four percent from 640 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: the recent highs of middle February. I think that will 641 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: be called the Valentine Day high and after that the massacre. Uh, 642 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: and a correction on the Dow is if I can 643 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: get the fame cursorout, twenty six thousand, six hundred would 644 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: be a traditional correction, right, we're points above that down 645 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: known eight d one point. Lukawa just darkened the door, 646 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: as you like to say, Tom Lukawa, Bloomberg News cross 647 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: asset reporter joining us with the camera crisis as well. 648 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: So Luke kind of a rocky opening to the market, 649 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a new view, it seems like 650 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: from financial markets on the potential risk of this Corona crisis. 651 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: What are your early thoughts here as we're you know, 652 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: about eight minutes into the opening of the cash equities markets. Oh, many, 653 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: many assorted thoughts. So let's start with Mark Dow of 654 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: Dow Global Advisors is frequent market commentator, former I M 655 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: F A. Anymous. He's pointed out a lot of the 656 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: times that markets have this tendency to have belated overreaction. 657 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: So we all know what the event is. Not many 658 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: facts about the event of change. There's a lot of 659 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: the knowns, but then we just freak out later anyways, 660 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: rather than when we first hear about it. This strikes 661 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: me as quite memorable compared to the Chinese evaluation that 662 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: did not happen at the end of August. That happened 663 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: with August twelve, and yet it took, you know, a 664 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks later before we open limit down. Second 665 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: of which which ties into this the strictures of the 666 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: options market and how that leads to realize volatility. Last 667 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: Friday was options expiry. When you have all of that 668 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: open interest in strikes hanging around and then it completely 669 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: falls off the table. This is freedom to move, and 670 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: what you're seeing this morning is definitely freedom to move 671 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: to the downside. Look and camera Christ with us with 672 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: down negative seven seven two the vix twenty two points 673 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: three for a better tape in the last five minutes 674 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: here often ugly almost down one thousand, opening to the 675 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: both of you and Luke, let me start with you 676 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 1: right now. What do institutions do when they see this drop? 677 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: I mean they're in cash? Are they deploying now? Or 678 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: how do they measure the mood the catharsis? Do they 679 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: revert to technical analysis? What do they do where they 680 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: say here's the entry point? Well, are they really in 681 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: cash is the first question. And if you've looked at 682 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, like SMP five under, if you look at 683 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: the asset managers UH in the CFTC and their allocation 684 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: to stocks, that's those numbers in terms of what we 685 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: get are actually quite high. So the real question would 686 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: be is, I think, is how much is institutional dumping 687 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: on this and joining the party? And by the fact 688 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: that what you're seeing from this phase of the coronavirus 689 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: correction that's different from the late January one is all 690 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: of your beloved stocks are joining in and not only 691 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: joining in, their leading to the downside. So you know, 692 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: if you were all up in Microsoft, will be all 693 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: up in Apple, all up in those expensive text stocks, 694 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: especially in software, those are the ones that are get 695 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: hit more now, which does suggest that you know, there 696 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: is a bit more of an active selling component and 697 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: cutting even exposure to the stocks you love that is 698 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: taking place this time around. So Camra christ I'm looking 699 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: at the three months to the ten year treasury UH 700 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: minus seventeen here down eight and a half points today, 701 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: is that what is that telling you? Should we really 702 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: pay close attention to that because we've seen that go 703 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: negative in the past with no real implications. Yeah, I 704 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: mean that curve. I don't think it's particularly useful on 705 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: a sort of very very high frequency basis, because really 706 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 1: it's just telling what the tenure does because um, three 707 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: month bills don't really you know, three month bill yields 708 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: don't really um don't really move so much. Twos tens 709 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: perhaps offers a little more forward looking um uh color 710 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: and uh, it's interesting that curve hasn't really moved at 711 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: all today. It's been a parallel shift, UM to the 712 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,479 Speaker 1: to the downside. What is the camera that's well said. 713 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: What is a parallel shift where all yields go down? 714 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: What is that signal to a fete? I mean, is 715 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: is that signaling to them? Signals signals cut rates and 716 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: keep them down. Um. Now, I think you could make 717 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: a pretty good argument that rape cuts UM, while they 718 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: might cheer up UM equity investors temporarily, would have a 719 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: vanishingly small impact on on the real economy. Um. You know, 720 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: not only in the United States, but sort of in 721 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. UM. You know, uh, you know. 722 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 1: In terms of the previous discussion of what's actually changed, well, 723 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: I think something has changed, which is that you've started 724 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: to see an economic impact extend beyond China's borders. UM 725 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: for Venice to to cancel the carnival is I mean, 726 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: they're not doing that because interest rates are too high. 727 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: They're doing it as a public health scare. UM schools 728 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: are closing. That's something that that I think has impacted 729 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: or infected, if you will, um uh investor in best 730 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: investor consciousness, because it was kind of easy to write 731 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: off UM as an ephemeral thing or a contained thing, 732 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: and it was contained within China. But when you're starting 733 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 1: to see business UM and the economy being impacted outside 734 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 1: of China, then it's kind of like who let the 735 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: dogs out? And how do we get them back in 736 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: the cage? And that's a that's a more difficult proposition. 737 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: Kevin Christ, thank you so much for joining us in 738 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: a short notice today with Bloomberg of course, looking particularly 739 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: at the cross at space, Paul Sweni and Tim King 740 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: worldwide with our special coverage, we are without commercial interruption 741 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: in this special half hour getting the markets open. We 742 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: opened near negative one thousand, and the down down negative 743 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: eight three seven down. We went captured, the bid, bounced 744 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: back up, and we went back a little bit with 745 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: a vix was a twenty four handle now twenty two 746 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: point seven eight. The yield is in ten basis points 747 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: were in eleven earlier one point three six seven two 748 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: on the tenure, Luke, is it general? You know? I 749 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: I make jokes about your three Bloombergs, but it's true. 750 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: It isn't What is? What is? That's a hell of 751 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: a monthly bill that we say, thank you? What What 752 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: do you see right now off your Bloomberg screen? Like 753 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: what's the the delineating feature of panic or critically non panic? 754 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: To me, it'll still be kind of the the starting 755 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: point where we were for this and how quickly things change. 756 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: So like equity put call ratios in terms of the 757 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: volumes traded on the put side versus the call side, 758 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: they've been below one pretty much every day this year, 759 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: a k more calls changing hands, then puts. I. I 760 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: want to see how dramatically something like that changes, just 761 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: like I want to see not only does the greed disappear, 762 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: but also does the demand for protection orally skyrocket, because 763 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: really you haven't had both things happen consistently. Even in 764 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 1: late January. He's so seventies. He's like Wall Street he's 765 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: wearing a shirt today that could have been worn with 766 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: leud Wolfson, Gordon g Michael Holland would have warned twenty 767 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: years ago. It's got the blue stripe, that's got the 768 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: Glary Caudlow statement blue stripe shirt with the white cord. 769 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: And this this is my Kevin really special pull off 770 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: something like this. It's very it's very fashion forward. Daward 771 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: Ay time joining us with Lucawa. We have Gina Martin Adams. Uh. 772 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: She's our strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence giving us I think 773 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 1: so yes, she that's kind of where she was. So Gina, 774 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Give us your perspective 775 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: on this opening here and what may be different here 776 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: for the US equity markets. Well, I think the equity 777 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: market has been riding on the hotels of the better 778 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: than expected fourth quarter earning season and able to therefore 779 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: dismiss underlying weaknesses in the earning stream related to coronavirus 780 00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: um dampened outlook which has emerged in revision. It's pretty persistently. 781 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 1: But now the earning season is fading, and you've had 782 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: really strong spikes in a sort of risk off tone 783 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 1: across other asset classes. The equity market is following suit. 784 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: So if you actually look at the technicals of the 785 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: equity market, the two week rally that we had in 786 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: early February was really running on steals anyway. It was 787 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: largely supported by just a few names and tech and 788 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: some defensive rotation into utilities. So it was signaling that 789 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: the equity market was on fairly weak footing as it was. 790 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: But I do think that the end of earning season 791 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: was inevitably going to be difficult for stocks, and we're 792 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: going to go through a period of churning here, probably 793 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,280 Speaker 1: a modest correction related to the fact that the economic 794 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 1: outlook is not going to improve in the short run 795 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: and estimates are a little too high for the next 796 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: couple of quarters of growth. The rule of thumbs as 797 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: a correction, is that still true or the markets so 798 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: adjusted or boloxed up right now that we're on the 799 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: cusp of a correction? Now, which is it? You know, 800 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: I think it's some the arbitrary, honestly, Tom, it's a 801 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 1: ten percent is known as the correction, is known as 802 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: a bear market. Some people would say we haven't had 803 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: any bear markets over the course of the last ten years. 804 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: I would say, we've actually had three, maybe even four, 805 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: just based on the fact that we had very severe 806 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: contraction in the equity market nearing. So, you know, I 807 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: think that any correction always feels somewhat difficult, whether it 808 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: be five percent, ten percent, or fifteen percent, particularly when 809 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: in the company's of really strong spike and volatility and 810 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: a strong risk off tone. That's likely what we're in 811 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: for um at least for the next couple of days. 812 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: Just the massive rally that we saw in gold, the 813 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: big rally we saw in the thirty year on Friday, 814 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: would have indicated that we were in for weakness at 815 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: least in the short run here in the equity market. 816 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 1: And I think unless you get some really really strong 817 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,919 Speaker 1: earnest results from the retailers, which is highly unlikely, it's 818 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: just going to continue for the near terms, kind of 819 00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: blowing off some of the excess that we had to 820 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: see left earlier this year. Well, I look for a 821 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: forward your team and they're writing this afternoon from Bloomberg Intelligence, 822 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: Gina Martin Adams out of all of our equity coverage today, Paul, Yeah, 823 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: look at you know, I'm looking at my commodity screen 824 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 1: that g l C O screen, which is just for us, 825 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, equity people just the savior. And I'm seeing 826 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: so much red across the commodities uh space here And 827 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: is this just you know, the US equity markets just 828 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: kind of catching up with what commodity has been telling us, 829 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 1: which is global growth is you know, tepid at best 830 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: and may even be at risk with this coronavirus. Is 831 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: that kind of we're just seeing maybe a little bit 832 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 1: of catchup, as maybe Gina suggested, Yeah, I totally think 833 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 1: there's you know, that's that's the way to frame it 834 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: when you look at how commodities have been on a 835 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: sustained basis coppercruede week for quite a while. Commodities have 836 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: been showing the demand implications of the coronavirus for quite 837 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: some time. Equity markets have been focused on the temporary 838 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: supply implications of the coronavirus for quite a while. So 839 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: the kind of scaring that circle here is is a 840 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: law of what we see. And one one thing that's 841 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: really jumping out to me right now is I'm looking 842 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: at implied correlations for the SMP five hundred, So the 843 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: extent to which things are expected to move together, you know, 844 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: generally in a crisis. Does one do that? Uh, the 845 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: SPX one month, I see bee ball index on your terminal. 846 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: And so one thing that's really struck me is this 847 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: was one of the rare occasions where you had correlations spike, 848 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: implied correlations spike in late January and then immediately immediately 849 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: fade to where they were before. Generally, when you have 850 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: a spike and implied correlations, it means, hey, there's some 851 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: kind of macro thing going on that we're going to 852 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 1: worry about for a while. It's gonna be some kind 853 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,959 Speaker 1: of episode that we have to work our way through. 854 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: Been the case for, you know, for the trade war, 855 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: was the case in late was the case during the 856 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: the Chinese hard landing fears. Right now those are still 857 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: probably subdued. So if you're looking for a way for 858 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: volatility to move up, it's through this conduit where we 859 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: start pricing in everything moving together to the downside. And 860 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: I just put that up on the screen, and we're 861 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: now out the four standard deviations is a general of 862 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,919 Speaker 1: four standard deviation. Move is where the sweat clicks in 863 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: and we're getting there. We're getting we're getting there, but 864 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: we're not quite there yet. So looking at the you know, 865 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: we we talk a little bit about crude oil and 866 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: it's down about four percent or four point two barrel. 867 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, is that kind of a is that a 868 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: place where people should look for, you know, where is 869 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: global growth going to be? And if I see weakness 870 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: in that commodity, that's really a flag for me. I 871 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: mean probably copper would be the even bigger one, or 872 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: the or the complementary, or you know, at least both 873 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: of them telling the same story. Yeah, it's I would 874 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,320 Speaker 1: say definitely commodities are pricing in the lower demand global 875 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: growth outlook much more than any asset class has been 876 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 1: for a while. But hey, commodities have been financialized for 877 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 1: quite some time, more than they are necessarily indicative of 878 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: supply demand conditions for real end users for quite some time. 879 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: So probably more of a tendency to overshoot in both cases. 880 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: Very good. I don't knowough jargon from Calah, but I 881 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: learned a new function today, so you know that was 882 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,919 Speaker 1: there was as good as Stewart Kaiser from ubs time. 883 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 1: It was pretty good. Do we get through this without 884 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: mentioning a backup goaltender, because that's that's that's how bad 885 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: things must be right now, Michael Reagan with us here 886 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,720 Speaker 1: as we look at that, He's trying to log onto 887 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 1: the hurt when I'm like the backup goaltender around here 888 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: driving the surveillance. When when the market goes down a 889 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: thousand points, Michael, can you log on? I'd rather not. 890 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: I should have said I should have work at home. 891 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: But what is the color of the market you? Michael 892 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: Reagan was, folks, leading just all of our intellectual coverage 893 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: in Bloomberg News on the equity markets. You go into 894 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: a morning call, what's the theme that you want to 895 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: attack here? Negative seven sixties seven on the dough? Well, 896 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: I guess you know. Obviously the question on everyone's mind 897 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be how bad will this get? God bless 898 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: anyone who can even attempt to try to answer that. 899 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think obviously the Italian outbreak is really 900 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: the focus of everyone uh ire right now. And just 901 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: looking at sort of the leadership in the stock market, 902 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: what do you see that? Well, a lot of that 903 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: sort of the high flyers are leading your Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, 904 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: the ones that we're really sort of leading this this 905 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: uh rally on the way up. What I find interesting 906 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 1: he's looking at the healthcare stocks. They're pretty much down 907 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 1: across the board. I mean, Gillyad is up because they 908 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,720 Speaker 1: might have the vaccine. What are you seeing in Johnson 909 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: and Johnson might have a well that's the thing. Everything's 910 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:29,439 Speaker 1: down pretty steeply. And I find it interesting because less 911 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 1: we forget Bernie Sanders did win a pretty a pretty 912 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 1: big better than my mind had was thirty nine percent, folks, 913 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: And he's clocking here with yeah, so I would be curious. 914 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 1: It's hard to isolate what is happening to say, the 915 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: managed care stocks. United Healthcare is down like seven, so 916 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: obviously that you know, could could be a lot of 917 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,240 Speaker 1: the coronavirus fear. But you also gotta wonder if Bernie 918 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: is in the market a little bit too. I don't know, 919 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: but um it's hard to separate the two because obviously 920 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: a coronavirus is not gonna be good for your your 921 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: healthcare stocks, but neither is so um uh, you know, 922 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: I would love to see what this market was would 923 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: look like this morning if it had just been the 924 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: Bernie news over the weekend and not the not the virus. 925 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: And Michael Reagan with us and he'll continue on Bloemark 926 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: Radio with reports through the day. Right now, we have 927 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: to digress for a global audience for something that was 928 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: absolutely extraordinary this weekend. There's been a lot of coverage 929 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,760 Speaker 1: in it in America and certainly within Canada as well. 930 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: This is where two goalies get hurt and you don't 931 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 1: have another goalie, and every team has an agreement that 932 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 1: there's always an emergency goalie who if they play, gets 933 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars and they get to keep their jersey. Yeah, 934 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: it's it's in the contract and the agreement, and this occurs, 935 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: but it doesn't occur like it did this weekend in Toronto. 936 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 1: Is Carolina had two people injured and Luke it was 937 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: absolutely extraordinary, without question, I've never seen it before. Tavarus 938 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,400 Speaker 1: took the giant John Tavirus took that first shot and 939 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: he looked like a goalie completely out of his well 940 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: that's because he was a goalie completely out of his 941 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: league too. So for backstory here, the Carolina Hurricanes two 942 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 1: goalies injured, they had to turn to the leaf's appointed 943 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: back up, who is the Zamboni drivers, and the teams 944 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 1: have an in Toronto, but so in front of a 945 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: home team, we embarrass ourselves like this so Carolina has 946 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: to turn to the Merley's Zamboni driver. The Toronto Marley 947 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: Zamboni driver ted into net before he had even faced 948 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: a shot. He hadn't even bigger lead than he started with. 949 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,359 Speaker 1: He himself got a shot on net, banking it off 950 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: the boards, and he made I believe, seven saves in 951 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: the third period. But Tom, if you remember the old 952 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: Scott Stevens era in New Jersey Devils, I have not 953 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 1: seen a team play suffocating defense like that there was. 954 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: You couldn't get a puck through to the net. Not 955 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 1: that the Leafs are really trying. This will go down 956 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,400 Speaker 1: is perhaps more embarrassing than the four one collapse in 957 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: Game seven to the Brewers look very quickly. And we'll 958 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: expand on this later. Ex going to our audience, his 959 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,879 Speaker 1: junior banus, I was at a junior B level when 960 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 1: I was you know, Colorado, million years ago. But what 961 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 1: does junior B now mean versus the minors or the NHL. 962 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: I would say Junior B in a lot of cases 963 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: means you care about the sport, you stuck around to 964 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,279 Speaker 1: play it for a while, but you were not one 965 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 1: of the top tier talented guys. You're nobody had a 966 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 1: chance at this level to play an the NHL. Essentially, 967 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's you. You're not going to go to junior. 968 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,720 Speaker 1: Being Austin Matthews had the puck off the left side 969 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 1: in his stomach. He shot it. Even I could have 970 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 1: stopped that. He he dotted the eye in canes. As 971 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 1: we say, see the suffering there. It's like if he 972 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: was long Apple calls here yesterday, Luke Kawa, Thank you 973 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: so much for that perspective on the markets, and of 974 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 1: course I'm truly an historic moment.
