You know, we had 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: a rocket go into space last night, and I always 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: love that kind of stuff. I'm gonna sucker for that. 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: I grew up with the Apollo program and all that 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. My mom, who is she's older than you, though, Paul, 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: but she gets terry when she watches it. There's this 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: big nostall jobund it and I think, I know, I 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: think there's value, but anyway, it's it's it's very cool. 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: But this is completely commercial flight, so very cool. Ed Ludlow, 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: he's our West Coast correspondent. He covers rockets and all 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I don't know what he does 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: for a living, but apparently he's in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Ed. 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: What can you tell us about this flight? I'm talking 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: this is really a commercial flight. There's no astronauts or anything. Yeah, 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: this is an all civilian crew. Um. The mission commander 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: is a chap called Jarediazingman, who's the CEO of a 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: thin tech company shift for payments, and he's a billionaire, 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: so you know, we're kind of continuing this theme. He's 24 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: funding the mission. But the other three crew members are 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: genuine civilians, you know, they're not professional astronauts, and they're 26 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: currently orbiting Earth at altitude of three hundred and sixty miles. 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: You know, that's further than the International Space Station, is 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: further than the Hubble telescope even and it's actually the 29 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: furthest that SpaceX has ever sent. It's Dragon spacecraft. So 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: this is kind of a real landmark mission for not 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: just commercial space flight, but human spaceflight. You know, you 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: don't have to be a decorated astronaut with a with 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: an Air Force back history to make it. You can 34 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: go to space now being an everyday joe. So let's 35 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: talk about the everyday joe. And when will this officially 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: really start to ramp up and is it monthly, quarterly, weekly? 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: What can we expect that's the top question. You know, 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: SpaceX are really supplied and strained Benji Reid, who's one 39 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: of the directors of the company, spoke to me about 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: this the day before the launch, but that you know, 41 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: they have around four to six flights potentially in um. 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: But the demand is there, they say, you know, there 43 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: is a list of willing, paying customers. I think there's 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: still massive question marks about the economics of this. You know, 45 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: on this occasion, you have one billionaire. Okay, guys, he's 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: a modest billionaire, just a couple of billions, but he's 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: paying for it with his checkbook. And and that's really 48 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: the question that SpaceX has not been able to answer. 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: In fact, they haven't answered me. I've asked going forward, 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: who pays for this? You know, does it rely on philanthropy? 51 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: Does it rely on SpaceX kind of discounting trip? Is 52 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: this done through lotteries? You know, things like that, And 53 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: we really don't know for now. It does really seem 54 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: like a rich man's sport. What are these four passengers, 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I don't call them astronauts. What 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: are these passengers doing up there for three days? Yeah? Well, 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: what I always say is this that they Dragon Capsule 58 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: is Philly autonomous. You know, it's in orbit, but you know, 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: largely it powers itself and can be controlled from ground 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: control by SpaceX. But if something goes wrong, they have 61 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: had five to six months of intense training, two different 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: scenarios to react and deal with that. But you know, 63 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: largely they're up there to the experience. I don't know 64 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: if you guys remember the image, but when they send 65 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: Dragon up to the International Space Station, the nose cone 66 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: opens up, and that is this the zone that docks 67 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: with I S. S. But they don't need to dot 68 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: with BASS. So when the nose cone opened this time around, 69 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: it revealed this beautifully curved, thick glass window, so they'll 70 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: be taking time to look out of it, look back 71 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: down at Earth, look out into space. One of the passengers, 72 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: or one of the civilian astronauts, is somebody called Haley 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: after No. She is a cancer survivor who went on 74 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: to be a physicians assistant at St. Jude, who are 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: actually this mission is raising money for St. Jude. The 76 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: aim is two million, but she is technically the medical 77 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: officer on this trip, and she'll be doing biological physiological 78 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: experiments on her crewmates while they're in orbit for three days. 79 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: You know, they'll be moving around the cabin. And and 80 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: as you know, I've been telling people, Chris Ambroski, who 81 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: is the mission specialist, he won his seat because his 82 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: buddy won the seat in a lottery or a wrap 83 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: or lottery. He didn't want to go, so he gave 84 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: his his seat to Chris. And Chris has taken a 85 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: ukulele with him, so he'll be discovering what it's like 86 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: to play a string instrument in space and rootcap for 87 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: us here there. And you know the inner workings of 88 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: the top three you mentioned Virgin Clactic and SpaceX and 89 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: Blue Origin and the inherent maybe friendly competition though if 90 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: one succeeds, then we all can succeed. Where are we 91 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: in wanting to be the first, wanting to be the best, 92 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: but also knowing that multiple players in this market in 93 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: the end actually could be better. Yeah, I think you 94 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: know the main voice in all of this is NASA. Right. 95 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: SpaceX is success today was born out of the commercial 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: crew program, which NASHA put in place a decade ago 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: because simply the public sector funded space programs weren't working. 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: You know, the Shuttle program ultimately was shut down. And 99 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: NASA's view on this is that competition is good, and 100 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: the private sector is good. They had no involvement in 101 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: this mission, They did not fund it, they did not 102 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: take part in the training or the risk assessment. But 103 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: they think that it's a really substantive step forward. So 104 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: that's one part of it. But to be completely frank, 105 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: SpaceX is so ahead of the game compared with the 106 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: rest of the players. Um, you know, basically SpaceX sends 107 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: two thirds of all payloads sent from all of it 108 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: that includes everyone, private sector, government payloads. You know, they 109 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: dominate that industry, not because they have some kind of monopoly, 110 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: but because they simply are just the best at it. 111 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: You know, they have they can fly with such regularity 112 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: because their technology is the best. And the final thing 113 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: I would say is that it's unequivocal across the investment community, 114 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: NASA aerospace engineers. This mission is such a much bigger 115 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: deal than what we saw from Bezos and Branson. It 116 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: is an order of magnitude more difficult and risky. What 117 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: they have done real quickly, how did they get back? 118 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: Did they splash down in the ocean? Allah the Apollo astronauts, 119 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: how did they get back? Yeah, exactly. So there are 120 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: several target zones off the coast of Florida. It's completely 121 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: weather dependent the timing and exact location, but the dragon 122 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: capsule can orient itself so that the Earth's gravitational pool 123 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: brings it back down through as atmosphere. The flat bottom 124 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,679 Speaker 1: slows it down with air resistance, and then it uses 125 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: a series of parachutes and by the time it does 126 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: splash down is just a few miles an hour. Nice 127 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: and gentle Edla Low, thank you so much for joining us. 128 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: Nice and gentle Ed La West Coast corresponding for Bloomberg News. 129 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: He is down in Cape Canaveral bringing us live reporting 130 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: on this really really cool space mission SpaceX. And I 131 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: like how Ed framed aft force order of magnitude more 132 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: difficult than and then what we saw from just recently 133 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: from Richard Branson and uh and uh Jeff Bezos. Yeah, no, 134 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: Ed is great. He he knows the stuff inside it 135 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: out and always brings us some perspective along with some humor. Well, 136 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: we have read on the screen, but it's been an 137 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: odd week, you know, one day up, the next day down, 138 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: the next day up. So no real direction here at 139 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: least uh for this week. As people come back and 140 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: kind of get focused on this market in September. Let's 141 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: bring in David coudla Uh. He is founder, CEO, and 142 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: chief investment strategists at main Staate Capital. We have about 143 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: three point eight billion dollars under management. David, thanks so 144 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: much for joining us here. You know, market feels a 145 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: little directction lists here. Where do you think the next 146 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: five to move is a lot of folks feel like 147 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: it's to the downside. Good morning, Paul. Yeah, it definitely 148 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: seems like the market is uh just uh mandering, meandering sideways. 149 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: We've had seven of the last nine days have been 150 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: negative days for the index, but Pete de trough intra 151 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: day that's only a little over two percent declined. So 152 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: it's not the extreme volatility that some mighty expect in 153 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: September October or we've been waiting for for so long. 154 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: H this has been a very non volatile year for 155 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: the market, indexes, for stocks in general. I think that 156 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: though that as we worked through this, I think the 157 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: direction for the market through year end is higher um 158 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: and higher by as much as another four or five six. 159 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: And is that based on fundamentals or fomo? Well, certainly 160 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: fomo has been uh an important factor and in this 161 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: boolmarket all the way through certainly, um, you know by 162 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: this time last year as we came off the bear 163 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: market lows in March. But you know, when we when 164 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: we look at where we're at in the cycle, uh, 165 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: and there is questions about the economy, there's questions about what. 166 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: You know, we've had downward revisions by the Fed, Atlanta 167 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Fed and their GDP forecast, by a lot of the 168 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: big banks in their GDP forecasts. But we've still got 169 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: an economy that's growing. We've got the risk of inflation. 170 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: But our latest number, uh, the inflation was down a 171 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: little bit. Import prices came in down three tenths of 172 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: a percent. That's the lowest in a year, or the 173 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: first decline in a year. So we're importing less inflation. 174 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: So uh, you know that when we when we net 175 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: that all out, though, I believe that we we still 176 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: have hired for the market to go based on fundamentals, 177 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: based on also our belief, not the consensus belief, but 178 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: our belief that FED tightening or FED tapering is not 179 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: coming as soon as as many might expect. Because it 180 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: seems like, you know, again we did get some hawkish 181 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: views on tapering from the FED recently. Yet the as 182 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, as you just mentioned, the markets only off 183 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: a couple of percent from it's high. So if you're 184 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: a bull, you could take that as a pretty decent sign. 185 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: Is that how you think about it? Yeah, And the 186 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: other thing that we're maybe at a non consensus view 187 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: on also is the UH where we are with COVID 188 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: UH and where we're going. You know, we I've probably 189 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: heard five times over the last five weeks that that 190 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: the delta variant has peaked, but yet we've got the 191 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: news UH here this week that the state of Iowa 192 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: is rationing hospital beds. Who would have thought at this 193 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: point in the pandemic any where in the US we'd 194 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: be rationing hospital beds deciding who's going to get treatment 195 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: or not. So, you know, the way we look at 196 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: it is we're only another variant away from that having 197 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: even further economic impacts, impacts on the supply chain, and 198 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, those are things that the FED will consider 199 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: and when they do or don't taper, and there's just 200 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: so much so with the amount of liquidity that's out 201 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: there billion a month, there's so much liquidity. I think 202 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: that's why we haven't seen any significant downstrokes, downside volatility 203 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: of the market, and the trend continues to be higher. 204 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: I am curious what queues you're taking from the bond 205 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: market with spread still so tight relative to historical standards? Again, 206 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: does that sound like fundamentals or is this excess yield taking? Well, 207 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, the question is what kind of signals can 208 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: we take from the bond market at all these days? Uh? 209 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: You know, how can we have a tenure yield tenure 210 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: treasury yield trading around one point when inflation is at 211 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: five point three or five point four percent? Use the 212 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: tailor role, use any role. Um We've talked about a lot. 213 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: Uh you know that doesn't that doesn't make sense. Uh. 214 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: So you know, bond yields are so much influenced by 215 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: uh the artificial factor, the intervention of the ft. We 216 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: think it's more telling of what the fet is doing 217 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: than what it can give us in terms of good 218 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: signals about the economy. Valuation, where are we are you concerned? 219 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: Valuations are stretched, but they're stretched in a low interest 220 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: rate environment. As I said, the tenure trading down around 221 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: one point three percent, So we think we can still 222 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: have multiple expansion in the US. But you know, one 223 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: thing that we're looking at is is uh is. We're 224 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: looking abroad because what we've seen now is if we 225 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: look at the M s c I All Country Index, 226 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: x US basically has developed countries. We're um that index 227 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: is trading at a thirty point five pc discount to 228 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: the S and P five hundred. That's the highest ever. 229 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: So we're also looking abroad to foreign opportunities in Europe, 230 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: in Japan to both diversify our portfolio for overall risk 231 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: mitigation and as a tactical opportunity for our performance going forward. Interesting. 232 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: All right, David, thank you so much for joining us again. 233 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: We always appreciate getting your thoughts. David Coudla, founder, CEO, 234 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Compital Management. Interesting takeaway, 235 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: they're kind of looking at the outside the US for 236 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: opportunities and seeing evaluation play there. Let's talk crypto here. 237 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: I guess one of the issues for a lot of 238 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: folks that I talked to, you know, just kind of 239 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: cocktail conversation, is I hear all about this crypto stuff bitcoin, 240 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: How do I get exposure to it? How do I 241 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: invest in it? Let's check in with Ian Billina founder 242 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: and CEO of Token Metrics uh In. You're also the 243 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: author of the book Crypto Investing Guide, How to invest 244 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: in Bitcoin, Defy n f T S and more so Ian. 245 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: When people come up to you at a cocktail party 246 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: and say, how do I invest in crypto? I feel 247 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: like I should have some percentage of my portfolio in crypto. 248 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: What's your go to response? I'll throw all thanks for 249 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: having me good to responses. Because it is a new 250 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: asset class, it is riskier than other asset classes. However 251 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: that there is an opportunity for more upsite. What I 252 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: typically till that is, start by investor with what you're 253 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: willing to lose, whether that's one percent of your net worth, 254 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: whether that's five percent of your net worth, but whatever 255 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: you invested to crypto, make sure you're willing to lose 256 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: this because um outside but there's also lots of downside 257 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: with crypto investing, and just then that's why we haven't 258 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: book published recently. As you mentioned, see if we can, 259 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: and I think we're we've got a kind of a 260 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: choppy line there, so we're gonna see if we can 261 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: improve that. Uh And if we can, we'll come back 262 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: to you I'm just looking at bitcoin here. Today XPT 263 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: is the symbol forty seven thousand, three and sixty eight 264 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: dollars or three seventy dollars per token off about one 265 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: point one percent today dig up to fifty two tho uh. 266 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: And it's got a support tailor, I mean for the 267 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: technical folks out there for bitcoin of about thirty thousand 268 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: dollars per token that's been tested several times, but it 269 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: bounced really nicely off of that thirty thousand the last 270 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: time I got up to dollars per token. Yeah, and 271 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of interesting conversations. We spoke with 272 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: Eric Balcunas are pretty expert yesterday Bloomberg Intelligence, and he 273 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: twice now was pretty strongly put his money on a 274 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: bitcoin or a crypto et F by around mid October 275 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: or so, that sec Gary Gensler, and I'm not going 276 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: to get into all the craziness that Eric valtun Is 277 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: can do so well, but the Securities Act of thirty 278 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: four versus forty, and Eric was saying, Gary Gensler prefers one, 279 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: and so this way they can get through the e 280 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: t F this way, and you know, that could be 281 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: a huge catalyst for this market as well. Eric was saying, Yeah, 282 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: that's gonna be really interesting. We have in Billina back, 283 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: founder and CEO of Token Metrics, So and again you 284 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: kind of start off by saying, how do you invest 285 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: in this and you do it carefully. How important do 286 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: you think getting an e t F, a bitcoin et 287 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: F or crypto e t F will be to the 288 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: growth of this market. I think it will be huge 289 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: because it will be an avenue for people to slowly 290 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: passively invest in to crypto assets. And I think it 291 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: would be really the welcoming of institutional investors and people 292 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: with the full one case the pension funds being able 293 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: to investen to crypto without having to become experts in crypto. 294 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: Can you talk to us about institutional investors when they 295 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: come in. Does it help legitimize the market? You've had 296 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: Steve Cohen, I think, say that he's getting in because 297 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: his son told him all about it. Ray Dalio said 298 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: that cash is trash and he's sort of dipping around 299 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: lightly in crypto. Do all of those headlines help legitimize 300 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: the market. Yes, absolutely, because see if I look at 301 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: institutional investors for guidance in terms of where it go 302 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: for new asset classes. So when they see smart money 303 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: entering the space because a validation, because people comfort that 304 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: crypto assets are here to start a long term of 305 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: smart money is entering the space. Alright, So again Ian, 306 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, we have actually on the Bloomberg terminal c 307 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: r yp is a functions kind of the monitor for 308 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: all things crypto and what trades out there right now, 309 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: it seems to be you know, one of the it's bitcoin, 310 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: it's ethereum. Is that kind of where people should be 311 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: focused on at this point as they wait for potentially 312 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: in et f Yes, but what's really been taking off 313 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: recently you have been layer one protocols essentially new block 314 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: change similar to etherium and bitcoin, but with different use cases. 315 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: So as of recently, projects like Avalanche, Salona, algorand all 316 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 1: these different projects, I've been getting lots of interest from 317 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: smart money from instance, from our institutions, and these could 318 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: be a possible ahead versus bitcoin and ethereum, although there's 319 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: still pretty nascent as as technologies. What did El Salvador 320 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago the first country to adopt this 321 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: as sort of a legitimate currency, if you will, What 322 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: did that teach us? If anything? It taught us that 323 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: it's possible, it's possible for a country, a government, a 324 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: central bank too to bring in bitcoin, a new, a 325 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: new particular currency into its economy. And it's really now 326 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: building out the model for other countries to follow. So, 327 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: for example, parag lines in other countries are looking to 328 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: possibly replicate what what what has been done by El Salvador. 329 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: But even with the volatility, mean, did they show us 330 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: it really like a currency is the right way instead 331 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: of a store of value, even with all the volatility. 332 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: I think why now is still an experiment. Uh, A 333 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: lot of means to be seen in terms of what 334 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: happens next. UM. For example, I was speaking to to 335 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: the minister of finance of a country in Africa and 336 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: they're saying they're funny challenging to bring in the currency 337 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: to Represa Entrency. However, there would be open to bringing 338 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: in digital assets and seeing how they um are taken 339 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: on by the country while still having control. So I 340 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: think right now other countries are seeing what's going on 341 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: over there and trying to learn and see if that 342 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: can be replicated in their own economies. All right, and 343 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us there. Ian Billina, 344 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: founder and CEO of Token Metrics, kind of getting a 345 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: update on kind of this crypto market. Again, a lot 346 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 1: of folks are thinking about how they should get some exposure, 347 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: and Ian suggesting, you know, very small percentage, one or 348 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: two percent. Perhaps your portfolio be prepared to lose that 349 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: all given the volatility that we're seeing in these early 350 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: stages of crypto. But again, a lot of interest out 351 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: there and a lot of folks are really waiting for 352 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: that e t F to come, So we will certainly 353 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: stay on top of this story. More to come. This 354 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: is Bloomberg. Some pretty good retail sales numbers we got 355 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: this morning. Let's break them down with Angie Slonki uh, 356 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: National director US Retail for Collier's joining us on the 357 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: phone from San Francisco. Angie, thanks so much for joining, sir, 358 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: love to just get your thoughts here. Uh, you know 359 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: your knee deep in all things retail. What did you 360 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: take away from this morning's numbers? Oh it was I 361 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: was more than thrilled. I have to say. The retail 362 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: positivity and the momentum that we've seen from the beginning 363 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: of the year has been great, but we are starting 364 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: to normalize. One thing to know every person is spending 365 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: an additional two sixty dollars as of last month, so 366 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: quite a bit of spend. So I'm excited to see 367 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: these trends. Is the spend sustainable? We all know that 368 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: the data show us the consumer most consumers got more 369 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: wealthy in the pandemic. You think about the savings, So 370 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: is that sustainable going forward? I don't think it will. 371 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: We'll start to see some sort of normalization towards the 372 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: end of the year, although positive. Um, as we we 373 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: hit the end of exit, we'll start to see a normalization. 374 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: I think what will happen is things will start to 375 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: reset and it will start to flatten out. I think 376 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: our biggest concern right now in terms of retail is 377 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: the slow down in terms of global manufacturing, and that 378 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: will hurt us. So we're already seeing challenges in retail 379 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: where retailers are starting to face a lack of merchandise 380 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: in stores. So of course that will automatically also take 381 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: place online as well. So and you here in New 382 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: York City, Bloomberg HQ here on Elecington Avenue, uh all 383 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: the retail shops between fifty eight and fifty ninth Street 384 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: on Lexington with the exception of one small little Swiss 385 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: chocolate store, they're all empty. And we were talking some 386 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: big box retailers. Give us a sense of how you 387 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: think physical retailing will come back here as we get 388 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: to the other side of this pandemic. Definitely. You know, 389 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,959 Speaker 1: we've actually it was interesting to um, we've done some 390 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: research in house. What we've actually seen from a big 391 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: box perspective is actual growth, but growth in secondary markets. 392 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: UM in the suburbs. As we've all been hearing in 393 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: the reports lately, they work from home mindset continues to 394 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty much be stable, and therefore a 395 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: lot of these big box operators are looking at, you know, 396 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: identifying locations pretty much outside of some of the denser 397 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: city So the recovery will come back to Lexington, to 398 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, Union Square, San Francisco. It's just going to 399 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: be a slower recovery. Yeah. Interesting. We certainly are hoping, 400 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: at least for our neighborhood here that that is the case. 401 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: Talk to us about some of the seasonality that we 402 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: might see in these numbers. A lot of this was 403 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: anticipation of back to school. I was speaking with the 404 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: executive director of the Port of Long beach yesterday saying 405 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: that you have to start shopping now for Christmas because 406 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: your fifty ships off the coast and we can't stalk 407 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: shelves fast enough. How were the shelves on back to school? 408 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: How do you see that plane out during the holiday 409 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: season coming up? Yeah, that's the real challenge, UM. And 410 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: we're already hearing from many of our retailers that we 411 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: work with that these the supply chain, the merchandise that's 412 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: still sitting out UM is delaying product delivery and it 413 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: is being delayed anywhere from three to four to five months, 414 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: which is causing you know, this kind of pent up demand. 415 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: But yet this frustration from the customer's point of view. 416 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: So their challenge with oh my goodness, how how early 417 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: do I need to buy from my holiday shopping? UM? 418 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: I just read this, which is really fascinating to me. 419 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: Apparently the disruption and supply chain UM as it relates 420 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: to artificial Christmas trees is causing pricing to skyrocket up 421 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: by So we're seeing this across every level of merchandise, 422 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: whether it's shoes, apparel, you name it, furniture. The delays 423 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: are just exponential and are people going to sit back 424 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: and wait. This is they're they're forced to at this 425 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: point about the labor Aie, it seems like every restaurant 426 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: you walk by or go into says we need workers. Um, 427 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: how are the restaurants dealing with the labor shortage. It's 428 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: really challenging. Their limiting their menus, they're shortening their hours 429 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: and due to the purely because of labor issues. They're 430 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: also you know, at this point, some of the smaller 431 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: restaurant groups that are more I would not you know, 432 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: not your nationals or regionals or st writing to not 433 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: only increase their hourly wages beyond the minimum wage, but 434 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: also giving bonuses in order to attract um. We're also 435 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: starting to see people tap into high schools and asking, 436 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: you know, the sixteen year olds to see how they 437 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: can intern slash learn a new skill set in order 438 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: to help the labor issues out we're faced in pretty 439 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: much most markets. Yeah, we're seeing that across the Boarder 440 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 1: hearing that across the board as well from a lot 441 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: of industries.
