0:00:43 Roscoe Cadulian and the rest of the Phoenix Colony
0:00:46 have to re-upload their minds into the quantum computer,
0:00:48 but a new threat has arisen
0:00:51 that could destroy their stored consciousness forever.
0:00:56 Listen to Oscar winner Brendan Fraser reprise his role as Roscoe Cadulian

0:01:03 It’s a thought-provoking sci-fi journey
0:01:06 where identity, memory, and morality collide.
0:01:09 Robert J. Sawyer does it again
0:01:12 with this much-anticipated sequel that leaves you asking,
0:01:15 what are you willing to lose to save the ones you love?

0:01:30 Support for this show comes from Odoo.
0:01:32 Running a business is hard enough,

0:02:05 That’s O-D-O-O dot com.
0:02:10 Today’s number, 104,000.
0:02:13 That’s how many pounds a sperm whale
0:02:15 that washed up on a Nantucket beach this week weighed.
0:02:17 Oh, gosh.
0:02:19 Just everybody sit back and buckle up.
0:02:23 Okay, so I’ve never had an unplanned pregnancy, Ed,
0:02:25 because when my sperm finally reaches the egg,
0:02:27 the egg swipes left.
0:02:31 My sperm really aren’t like swimmers, Ed.
0:02:32 They’re more like a slow jogger
0:02:35 being chased by a lame dog.
0:02:39 My sperm are not really swimmers.
0:02:43 They’re more like an old man browsing at a Costco
0:02:46 who’s looking for gluten-free peanut butter
0:02:47 who just had cataract surgery.
0:02:49 Like, it’s well-intentioned,
0:02:51 but it’s just not going to reach the goal.
0:02:54 I could do this all day.
0:02:54 I know.
0:02:56 By the way, I made up the last one myself, Ed.
0:03:12 Ed, do you have a nickname for your sperm?
0:03:15 No, I’m not quite there yet.
0:03:18 I’m not really going to play ball with you on this one.
0:03:20 Also, let me give you a little tip.
0:03:23 Just while we’re barreling towards cancellation,
0:03:25 even Claire looks horrified.
0:03:28 It’s important and it’s fun
0:03:29 that every time you orgasm,
0:03:31 you yell out the same thing.
0:03:32 It’s really important.
0:03:35 You have to come up with the same thing.
0:03:38 This is the part where you go,
0:03:39 what do you yell out, Scott?
0:03:42 I told you I’m not playing ball with you.
0:03:44 Ed’s got space in his hands.
0:03:46 This has not seen me.
0:03:47 Joe Kernan.
0:03:50 I’m not going to do you the service
0:03:51 of asking the question.
0:03:52 Surrender Dorothy.
0:03:54 That’s what I yell out from the Wizard of Oz.
0:03:56 That’s what I yell out.
0:03:58 And my other Wizard of Oz reference is
0:04:00 I yell out,
0:04:01 I’m melting.
0:04:06 That’s why the fans tune in.
0:04:07 That’s why they tune in.
0:04:08 Next up,
0:04:08 JP Morgan,
0:04:10 chief economist for the last time.
0:04:14 How are you, Ed?
0:04:15 I’m doing well, Scott.
0:04:15 How are you doing?
0:04:16 I’m good.
0:04:18 I’ve been in LA the last few days
0:04:19 and I’m at the Beverly Hills Hotel
0:04:22 where they’re charging me $1,800 a night
0:04:24 so I can have a construction site above my room.
0:04:26 But they stopped the construction.
0:04:28 I mean, just off mic here,
0:04:30 you gave the front desk a call.
0:04:32 You asked them to stop hammering
0:04:33 and they did it.
0:04:34 Pretty baller.
0:04:35 Good stuff.
0:04:35 Yeah.
0:04:37 No, I carry a lot of weight here.
0:04:40 They’re very scared of me.
0:04:41 Number one client.
0:04:44 So what have been the highlights from LA
0:04:46 just before we get into this conversation?
0:04:48 I had a dinner last night
0:04:49 with like a small dinner with eight people
0:04:51 and I’m totally name dropping.
0:04:51 What the fuck?
0:04:53 And Larry David,
0:04:54 I sat next to Larry David.
0:04:54 Wow.
0:04:55 How was that?
0:04:58 He is literally the same person in real life.
0:04:59 It’s not a show.
0:05:00 It’s a camera falling around.
0:05:01 He showed up.
0:05:01 He’s like,
0:05:02 nice to meet you.
0:05:02 He’s like,
0:05:04 why do they serve hors d’oeuvres?
0:05:06 He like goes into a bit.
0:05:07 He’s like,
0:05:08 he’s like,
0:05:09 why would it?
0:05:09 Like,
0:05:10 I hate Uber.
0:05:11 Do you hate Uber?
0:05:13 Let me talk about Uber for,
0:05:14 it’s literally,
0:05:14 I’m like,
0:05:15 oh my God,
0:05:15 it’s the show.
0:05:17 the guy just shows up
0:05:19 and starts doing these bits.
0:05:21 But he’s very funny.
0:05:23 He seems pretty nice.
0:05:24 His wife is lovely.
0:05:25 I don’t know.
0:05:26 I enjoyed.
0:05:27 How did you wind up
0:05:28 at a dinner with Larry David?
0:05:29 I’m what you call right now
0:05:32 like an intellectual support animal
0:05:33 and that is all these rich people
0:05:34 think it’s interesting
0:05:35 to have me over for dinner
0:05:38 and talk about my book.
0:05:38 Like,
0:05:40 so I think there’s two or three
0:05:41 of these people every year
0:05:42 where they’re like,
0:05:42 okay,
0:05:43 let’s all get together
0:05:44 and,
0:05:46 and also at the dinner
0:05:47 was my role model,
0:05:48 Sam Harris,
0:05:49 and I enjoyed seeing Sam.
0:05:50 So when you get invited
0:05:52 as the intellectual support animal,
0:05:53 do you feel a pressure
0:05:55 to provide
0:05:56 the intellectual support?
0:05:56 Yeah,
0:05:57 that’s why you’re there.
0:05:58 Is that fun?
0:05:59 That sounds stressful.
0:06:00 Maybe that’s why Larry David
0:06:01 was doing his bit.
0:06:03 He was the comedic support animal.
0:06:04 The answer is yes
0:06:05 and I find as I get older,
0:06:06 they called me
0:06:08 and they were going to invite
0:06:12 this fairly famous tech couple
0:06:12 and I said,
0:06:13 no,
0:06:13 I’m like,
0:06:14 I just don’t want to,
0:06:15 I don’t want to meet them.
0:06:16 I don’t want to talk about them.
0:06:17 I don’t,
0:06:17 I don’t,
0:06:20 I find that stuff
0:06:21 is increasingly intimidating me
0:06:22 and I don’t want to,
0:06:23 I mean,
0:06:23 you know what,
0:06:24 I’d rather just stay at home
0:06:25 and watch Netflix
0:06:27 and have some big Filipino man
0:06:29 reheat my soup six or seven times
0:06:30 and just sort of
0:06:31 start peeing in bottles,
0:06:33 grow my nails really long.
0:06:37 Surrender,
0:06:38 Dorothy.
0:06:40 Should we,
0:06:42 should we get to AI
0:06:43 and the economy,
0:06:43 Ed?
0:06:46 You want to move on now?
0:06:47 Somebody gave me mushroom chocolates
0:06:48 over the weekend.
0:06:49 Just saying.
0:06:50 Just saying.
0:06:50 Okay,
0:06:51 well that explains a lot.
0:06:52 All right,
0:06:53 let’s get to the economy.
0:06:54 Okay,
0:06:55 now that we know
0:06:57 what happened in LA this weekend,
0:06:57 here is our conversation
0:06:58 with Michael Semblis
0:06:59 the chairman of
0:07:01 Market and Investment Strategy
0:07:02 for J.P. Morgan Asset
0:07:03 and Wealth Management.
0:07:04 Michael,
0:07:06 thanks for joining us again
0:07:07 on Prof.G. Markets.
0:07:07 Good to see you.
0:07:08 Morning.
0:07:11 So,
0:07:12 I’m going to dive
0:07:13 right into the questions
0:07:14 that we have
0:07:14 because we’ve only got you
0:07:15 for so long.
0:07:17 Just some context.
0:07:17 So,
0:07:18 last week,
0:07:20 we had Professor Aswath de Moderen
0:07:21 on our podcast.
0:07:22 He
0:07:23 presented
0:07:25 what we think
0:07:26 is kind of
0:07:27 the most bearish position
0:07:28 we’ve ever seen from him.
0:07:30 And this is a very
0:07:31 level-headed,
0:07:32 calm guy
0:07:34 who basically told us
0:07:34 that he thinks
0:07:35 that everything
0:07:36 in the stock market
0:07:37 is overvalued.
0:07:38 He said there’s no place
0:07:39 to hide in stocks.
0:07:40 And I’m just going to
0:07:41 play you a short clip
0:07:43 that kind of summarizes
0:07:44 what he thinks right now.
0:07:45 To the extent that there’s
0:07:46 going to be a correction,
0:07:47 there’s no place
0:07:48 to hide in stocks.
0:07:50 I can’t see a way
0:07:51 because if the
0:07:52 MAC-10 go down
0:07:53 by 40%,
0:07:54 it’s not like
0:07:55 the industrials
0:07:55 are going to hold
0:07:56 their value
0:07:56 while this happens.
0:07:57 The panic
0:07:58 that that’s going
0:07:58 to create
0:07:59 is going to ripple
0:08:00 through stocks.
0:08:01 You’re an investor
0:08:02 primarily investing
0:08:03 in stocks and bonds.
0:08:04 My advice is
0:08:05 even though
0:08:06 historically
0:08:07 you might never
0:08:08 have invested
0:08:09 in non-financial
0:08:10 asset categories,
0:08:11 this might be
0:08:11 a time
0:08:12 where you think
0:08:14 about at least
0:08:15 moving a portion
0:08:15 of your portfolio.
0:08:17 Bigger chunk
0:08:18 than ever
0:08:19 into cash
0:08:19 or something
0:08:20 close to cash
0:08:21 or maybe even
0:08:22 collectibles.
0:08:23 I’ve never
0:08:24 owned collectibles
0:08:26 but for the first
0:08:27 time in my
0:08:28 investing history
0:08:28 I’m saying
0:08:29 maybe I should
0:08:31 hold something
0:08:32 that is not
0:08:32 going to be effective
0:08:33 if inflation
0:08:34 goes to 10%.
0:08:35 There’s a market
0:08:36 and economic crisis
0:08:37 that is
0:08:38 potentially
0:08:39 catastrophic.
0:08:40 we were very
0:08:42 struck
0:08:43 by everything
0:08:44 he said
0:08:44 in that interview.
0:08:46 What do you think
0:08:47 Michael?
0:08:48 Is he right?
0:08:49 Are you concerned
0:08:50 like he is?
0:08:51 What are your reactions?
0:08:52 It’s hard
0:08:53 to react
0:08:54 to somebody
0:08:55 that doesn’t
0:08:56 have a long-term
0:08:56 track record
0:08:58 of this is
0:08:58 when I bought
0:08:59 this is when I sold
0:09:00 this is what I bought
0:09:01 this is what I sold.
0:09:02 You know
0:09:03 professors
0:09:04 are basically
0:09:05 running
0:09:06 fantasy
0:09:07 baseball teams
0:09:08 by coming out
0:09:10 intermittently
0:09:11 and telling
0:09:11 you
0:09:12 what their
0:09:12 trades are.
0:09:13 It’s not
0:09:14 real money
0:09:14 it’s not
0:09:15 real life
0:09:15 and so
0:09:16 you know
0:09:16 the purpose
0:09:17 of Morningstar
0:09:18 and Lipper
0:09:20 and a lot
0:09:20 of other
0:09:21 entities out
0:09:22 there is to
0:09:22 kind of track
0:09:22 the people
0:09:23 that actually
0:09:23 manage money
0:09:24 how do they
0:09:25 do over the
0:09:25 long run
0:09:27 and things
0:09:27 like that
0:09:28 so it’s
0:09:28 a little
0:09:29 abstract.
0:09:30 A better
0:09:31 example might
0:09:31 be the cash
0:09:32 stockpile
0:09:32 that’s
0:09:33 accumulating
0:09:33 getting at
0:09:34 Berkshire Hathaway
0:09:35 is probably
0:09:37 a much
0:09:37 better indicator
0:09:40 of people
0:09:40 that are having
0:09:41 trouble putting
0:09:41 money to work
0:09:42 because they
0:09:42 can’t find
0:09:43 any value
0:09:43 and certainly
0:09:44 it’s challenging
0:09:45 right now
0:09:45 there’s a ton
0:09:46 of dry powder
0:09:48 in private equity
0:09:48 and venture
0:09:49 that still has
0:09:49 to be put
0:09:50 to work
0:09:50 and so
0:09:51 it’s a
0:09:51 challenging
0:09:52 time.
0:09:54 His premise
0:09:55 of I think
0:09:56 I heard him
0:09:56 say 10%
0:09:57 inflation
0:09:57 like I’m
0:09:59 not prepared
0:09:59 to quite buy
0:10:00 into it
0:10:00 a 10%
0:10:01 inflation
0:10:01 forecast
0:10:02 nor am I
0:10:03 prepared to
0:10:03 buy into
0:10:05 the certainty
0:10:05 of a 10%
0:10:07 sorry a 40%
0:10:08 correction in
0:10:08 the MAG-10
0:10:09 or MAG-7
0:10:10 those stocks
0:10:11 have gone up
0:10:11 a ton
0:10:12 and a passing
0:10:13 wind could
0:10:14 cause
0:10:15 profit taking
0:10:16 right
0:10:17 similar to
0:10:18 what took
0:10:18 place earlier
0:10:18 this year
0:10:19 with the
0:10:19 dollar
0:10:20 dollar went
0:10:21 down 10%
0:10:21 it was at
0:10:22 its post
0:10:22 financial crisis
0:10:23 high
0:10:23 as soon as
0:10:24 any asset
0:10:24 falls by
0:10:25 10%
0:10:26 Nouriel
0:10:26 Roubini
0:10:26 and the rest
0:10:27 of the people
0:10:27 come out of
0:10:28 the woodwork
0:10:28 and say okay
0:10:29 this is it
0:10:29 this is the
0:10:30 big one
0:10:30 everything is
0:10:30 going to
0:10:30 go down
0:10:31 from here
0:10:31 and then
0:10:32 of course
0:10:32 the dollar
0:10:32 has been
0:10:33 flat since
0:10:33 that
0:10:34 the dollar
0:10:34 has been
0:10:34 actually
0:10:35 flat since
0:10:35 our podcast
0:10:36 in May
0:10:37 so the last
0:10:37 time I was
0:10:38 on this
0:10:38 show
0:10:39 you know
0:10:39 I think
0:10:40 people have
0:10:40 to have
0:10:40 some kind
0:10:41 of discipline
0:10:42 to recognize
0:10:42 that when
0:10:43 assets are
0:10:43 trading at
0:10:43 20 to
0:10:44 25 year
0:10:44 highs
0:10:45 they can
0:10:45 correct by
0:10:46 10 or
0:10:46 15%
0:10:48 it doesn’t
0:10:49 necessarily
0:10:50 unfold and
0:10:51 unravel
0:10:52 into the
0:10:53 big 40%
0:10:54 corrections that
0:10:54 we had
0:10:55 in 2009
0:10:56 and then again
0:10:56 in 2001
0:10:58 so it
0:10:59 sounds
0:11:00 I mean
0:11:01 we’re positioning
0:11:02 more defensively
0:11:02 than we have
0:11:04 but you know
0:11:05 what he’s
0:11:06 describing there
0:11:07 is a bridge
0:11:08 too far
0:11:08 plus our
0:11:09 normal
0:11:10 balanced and
0:11:10 conservative
0:11:11 portfolios
0:11:12 already have
0:11:13 30 to 40%
0:11:14 in cash
0:11:15 cash equivalents
0:11:16 gold
0:11:17 very diversified
0:11:18 hedge funds
0:11:19 municipals
0:11:21 some short
0:11:21 duration
0:11:22 preferreds
0:11:22 and things
0:11:22 like that
0:11:23 just to play
0:11:24 defense for
0:11:25 Aswath
0:11:26 you know
0:11:26 we
0:11:27 that clip
0:11:27 that we
0:11:28 got was
0:11:28 the most
0:11:29 bearish
0:11:30 string of
0:11:30 sentences
0:11:31 that he
0:11:32 uttered
0:11:33 otherwise
0:11:34 I think
0:11:34 if you
0:11:34 listen to
0:11:35 the full
0:11:35 podcast
0:11:36 it would
0:11:36 sound
0:11:37 less
0:11:38 hyperbolic
0:11:39 perhaps
0:11:40 but you
0:11:40 know
0:11:41 in some
0:11:41 he’s
0:11:42 concerned
0:11:44 but also
0:11:44 so is
0:11:45 everyone
0:11:45 else
0:11:46 and
0:11:47 right now
0:11:47 this
0:11:48 AI bubble
0:11:49 more and more
0:11:50 people are talking
0:11:50 about it
0:11:51 more and more
0:11:52 people are googling
0:11:52 it
0:11:52 we’re now
0:11:53 beginning to see
0:11:54 a little bit of a
0:11:54 correction in
0:11:55 tech stocks
0:11:56 as we speak
0:11:57 small
0:11:58 small
0:12:01 the fears
0:12:01 of this
0:12:02 AI bubble
0:12:03 are quite
0:12:04 strong
0:12:04 or stronger
0:12:04 than they
0:12:05 have been
0:12:05 before
0:12:07 what do you
0:12:08 make of those
0:12:08 fears
0:12:09 do you think
0:12:09 that they
0:12:10 are warranted
0:12:11 and how
0:12:12 are you
0:12:13 at JP Morgan
0:12:15 thinking about it
0:12:16 something like
0:12:18 75% of all
0:12:18 of the revenues
0:12:19 profits
0:12:19 and capital
0:12:20 spending
0:12:21 since November
0:12:22 2022
0:12:23 have come
0:12:24 from 40
0:12:24 AI related
0:12:25 stocks
0:12:26 so there’s
0:12:27 almost no
0:12:27 justification
0:12:28 to spend
0:12:28 time on
0:12:28 anything
0:12:29 but this
0:12:30 and I try
0:12:31 to be an
0:12:31 even keel
0:12:31 kind of
0:12:32 person
0:12:32 but the
0:12:33 meta number
0:12:33 threw me
0:12:34 you know
0:12:35 a company
0:12:36 announcing
0:12:36 that they’re
0:12:37 spending
0:12:38 65 to
0:12:38 70%
0:12:38 of their
0:12:39 revenues
0:12:40 on capital
0:12:41 spending
0:12:41 and R&D
0:12:42 without even
0:12:43 knowing what
0:12:44 the destination
0:12:45 is
0:12:46 that they’re
0:12:47 going to
0:12:48 as an
0:12:48 investor
0:12:50 that doesn’t
0:12:51 fill me
0:12:51 with a lot
0:12:51 of good
0:12:52 feeling
0:12:52 about
0:12:53 where we’re
0:12:54 going to be
0:12:54 two years
0:12:54 from now
0:12:54 and it
0:12:55 was only
0:12:55 two years
0:12:55 ago
0:12:57 that they
0:12:57 did this
0:12:58 they reached
0:12:58 the same
0:12:59 peak of 65%
0:13:00 of revenues
0:13:01 investing in the
0:13:01 metaverse
0:13:02 which obviously
0:13:03 hasn’t really
0:13:04 turned out to be
0:13:04 anything
0:13:06 so there’s a lot
0:13:07 more behind
0:13:08 this particular
0:13:10 generative AI
0:13:10 boom
0:13:12 but the numbers
0:13:14 I put together
0:13:14 something Scott
0:13:15 I think you’d
0:13:15 appreciate this
0:13:16 that you like
0:13:16 this kind of
0:13:17 historical context
0:13:19 the tech
0:13:20 capital spending
0:13:20 in 2025
0:13:22 is equal
0:13:23 relative to
0:13:23 GDP
0:13:24 of
0:13:27 the moon
0:13:27 landing
0:13:29 the Manhattan
0:13:29 project
0:13:30 the interstate
0:13:31 highway system
0:13:32 electrification of
0:13:33 farming
0:13:34 the Triborough
0:13:34 Bridge
0:13:35 the Midtown
0:13:36 Tunnel
0:13:36 the Golden
0:13:37 Gate Bridge
0:13:38 and the Hoover
0:13:38 Dam
0:13:38 combined
0:13:41 there’s all
0:13:42 these futurists
0:13:42 hovering around
0:13:43 like bats
0:13:44 telling us
0:13:44 how all of
0:13:45 this is going
0:13:45 to magically
0:13:47 make some
0:13:48 fantastic future
0:13:49 and there
0:13:49 are surely
0:13:51 bits and
0:13:52 pieces of
0:13:52 evidence
0:13:53 here and there
0:13:54 of real
0:13:55 productivity gains
0:13:56 coming from
0:13:56 this
0:13:57 but
0:13:59 this is
0:14:00 a scarier
0:14:01 version
0:14:02 of the
0:14:03 ICT
0:14:03 revolution
0:14:03 of the
0:14:04 early 90s
0:14:05 the only
0:14:06 silver lining
0:14:06 that I
0:14:07 latch on to
0:14:09 is that
0:14:10 whether it’s
0:14:11 2001
0:14:12 or the
0:14:12 casino
0:14:13 build-out
0:14:14 airlines
0:14:15 fiber optics
0:14:16 the
0:14:18 Calpine
0:14:18 gas turbine
0:14:19 era
0:14:20 all of
0:14:20 those
0:14:20 capital
0:14:21 spending
0:14:21 booms
0:14:21 were
0:14:22 financed
0:14:22 with
0:14:23 debt
0:14:24 and
0:14:24 this
0:14:24 one
0:14:25 with
0:14:25 the
0:14:25 exception
0:14:25 of
0:14:26 Oracle
0:14:26 is
0:14:27 being
0:14:27 financed
0:14:27 with
0:14:28 internally
0:14:28 generated
0:14:28 cash
0:14:29 flow
0:14:29 but
0:14:30 that
0:14:30 simply
0:14:30 means
0:14:30 it
0:14:31 can
0:14:31 go
0:14:31 on
0:14:31 for
0:14:32 longer
0:14:32 before
0:14:32 it
0:14:32 gets
0:14:33 unplugged
0:14:33 by
0:14:33 the
0:14:33 debt
0:14:34 markets
0:14:35 it
0:14:35 doesn’t
0:14:35 relieve
0:14:36 you
0:14:36 of the
0:14:36 ultimate
0:14:37 need
0:14:37 for
0:14:37 there
0:14:38 to
0:14:38 be
0:14:38 substantial
0:14:39 profit
0:14:39 generation
0:14:40 to
0:14:41 remunerate
0:14:41 the
0:14:41 trillion
0:14:41 two
0:14:42 of
0:14:42 capital
0:14:42 that’s
0:14:42 been
0:14:43 spent
0:14:43 since
0:14:43 November
0:14:44 2022
0:14:45 I want to
0:14:46 recognize
0:14:46 I’m feeling
0:14:47 defensive
0:14:47 around my
0:14:48 colleague
0:14:48 I’ve been
0:14:48 following
0:14:49 Aswath for
0:14:49 20 years
0:14:49 and he
0:14:50 does the
0:14:50 work around
0:14:51 valuations
0:14:52 and there’s
0:14:52 few people
0:14:53 in the
0:14:53 alternative
0:14:54 investment
0:14:54 space
0:14:55 or investors
0:14:55 that at
0:14:56 least in
0:14:57 my observation
0:14:57 have been
0:14:58 more right
0:14:59 more often
0:14:59 than him
0:15:00 and it
0:15:00 did rattle
0:15:00 us
0:15:01 because he
0:15:01 generally
0:15:02 I want to
0:15:02 acknowledge
0:15:03 your point
0:15:05 it’s easier
0:15:05 to sound
0:15:05 smart when
0:15:06 you’re
0:15:06 a
0:15:06 catastrophist
0:15:07 you just
0:15:07 sound
0:15:08 smarter
0:15:08 right
0:15:09 and
0:15:10 the
0:15:11 best
0:15:11 traders
0:15:12 the best
0:15:12 historians
0:15:13 the best
0:15:13 politicians
0:15:14 have erred
0:15:15 on the
0:15:15 side
0:15:16 of asking
0:15:16 themselves
0:15:17 what could
0:15:17 go right
0:15:18 you know
0:15:19 and because
0:15:19 the markets
0:15:20 over the
0:15:20 medium and
0:15:20 long term
0:15:21 are up
0:15:21 into the
0:15:21 right
0:15:22 so I
0:15:22 want to
0:15:22 acknowledge
0:15:22 that
0:15:24 the
0:15:24 I want
0:15:25 to put
0:15:25 forward
0:15:25 a thesis
0:15:26 and have
0:15:26 you respond
0:15:27 to it
0:15:27 and that
0:15:27 is
0:15:28 if you
0:15:28 look at
0:15:28 every
0:15:29 single
0:15:29 of the
0:15:30 company
0:15:30 one of
0:15:30 the
0:15:30 companies
0:15:31 we’re
0:15:31 talking
0:15:31 about
0:15:32 they
0:15:32 have
0:15:32 all
0:15:33 had
0:15:33 years
0:15:34 where
0:15:34 they’re
0:15:34 down
0:15:35 50 to
0:15:36 70 percent
0:15:36 in that
0:15:37 12 month
0:15:37 period
0:15:38 and the
0:15:39 thing that’s
0:15:39 scary now
0:15:40 is if a
0:15:40 company like
0:15:40 NVIDIA
0:15:41 which hasn’t
0:15:41 had one
0:15:42 of those
0:15:42 years
0:15:42 I don’t
0:15:42 think
0:15:43 or maybe
0:15:43 it did
0:15:44 in 2022
0:15:45 if that
0:15:45 happens
0:15:46 to a
0:15:46 company
0:15:46 that’s
0:15:46 now
0:15:47 got
0:15:47 the
0:15:47 market
0:15:47 cap
0:15:48 of the
0:15:49 GDP
0:15:49 of
0:15:50 whatever
0:15:50 Germany
0:15:51 that
0:15:51 that
0:15:52 might
0:15:52 take
0:15:52 the
0:15:53 entire
0:15:53 market
0:15:53 down
0:15:54 that
0:15:54 essentially
0:15:55 America
0:15:55 has
0:15:55 become
0:15:56 so
0:15:56 fragile
0:15:57 because
0:15:57 it
0:15:57 is
0:15:57 now
0:15:58 a
0:15:58 giant
0:15:58 bet
0:15:59 on
0:16:00 AI
0:16:01 and
0:16:01 if
0:16:01 open
0:16:01 AI
0:16:02 which
0:16:03 you
0:16:03 know
0:16:03 I
0:16:03 mean
0:16:04 60%
0:16:04 of
0:16:05 revenues
0:16:05 on
0:16:06 CapEx
0:16:06 is
0:16:06 one
0:16:06 thing
0:16:07 as far
0:16:07 as I
0:16:07 can
0:16:07 tell
0:16:07 open
0:16:08 AI
0:16:08 is
0:16:08 about
0:16:09 at
0:16:10 you
0:16:10 know
0:16:10 30
0:16:11 times
0:16:12 30
0:16:12 times
0:16:12 the
0:16:12 revenue
0:16:13 going
0:16:13 into
0:16:13 CapEx
0:16:14 if
0:16:15 open
0:16:15 AI
0:16:15 or
0:16:15 some
0:16:15 big
0:16:16 customers
0:16:17 here’s
0:16:17 the
0:16:17 thesis
0:16:17 and
0:16:17 you
0:16:18 tell
0:16:18 me
0:16:18 where
0:16:18 I
0:16:18 got
0:16:18 this
0:16:19 wrong
0:16:19 some
0:16:20 standard
0:16:20 S&P
0:16:21 companies
0:16:21 PepsiCo
0:16:22 Caterpillar
0:16:22 P&G
0:16:23 announced
0:16:23 look
0:16:23 AI
0:16:23 is
0:16:24 great
0:16:24 but
0:16:25 we
0:16:25 are
0:16:25 out
0:16:25 over
0:16:25 our
0:16:26 skis
0:16:26 we’re
0:16:26 not
0:16:26 seeing
0:16:27 the
0:16:27 return
0:16:27 we’d
0:16:27 hope
0:16:27 for
0:16:28 we’re
0:16:28 scaling
0:16:28 back
0:16:28 the
0:16:29 investment
0:16:30 open
0:16:30 AI
0:16:30 in
0:16:30 the
0:16:31 secondary
0:16:31 market
0:16:31 trades
0:16:32 way
0:16:32 down
0:16:33 and
0:16:33 then
0:16:35 NVIDIA
0:16:37 goes down
0:16:38 60%
0:16:38 which
0:16:38 would
0:16:39 not
0:16:39 be
0:16:39 unusual
0:16:39 it
0:16:39 wouldn’t
0:16:40 look
0:16:40 cheap
0:16:41 and
0:16:41 then
0:16:42 we
0:16:42 have
0:16:42 a
0:16:43 $3
0:16:43 trillion
0:16:44 destruction
0:16:44 in
0:16:44 the
0:16:44 capital
0:16:45 markets
0:16:46 and
0:16:46 we
0:16:46 basically
0:16:47 overnight
0:16:47 have
0:16:48 flat
0:16:49 markets
0:16:49 GDP
0:16:50 growth
0:16:50 of
0:16:50 zero
0:16:51 and
0:16:53 companies
0:16:54 sneeze
0:16:54 we’re
0:16:54 not
0:16:54 catching
0:16:54 a
0:16:55 cold
0:16:55 we’re
0:16:55 catching
0:16:56 pneumonia
0:16:56 the
0:16:57 thing
0:16:57 that
0:16:58 worries
0:16:58 me
0:16:58 the
0:16:58 most
0:16:58 and
0:16:58 I
0:16:58 want
0:16:58 to
0:16:58 get
0:16:58 your
0:16:59 response
0:16:59 is
0:16:59 we
0:17:00 have
0:17:01 inadvertently
0:17:01 turned
0:17:01 our
0:17:02 markets
0:17:02 into
0:17:03 a
0:17:04 very
0:17:04 fragile
0:17:05 house
0:17:06 of
0:17:06 cards
0:17:06 there’s
0:17:06 the
0:17:07 S&P
0:17:07 490
0:17:07 and
0:17:08 there’s
0:17:08 the
0:17:08 S&P
0:17:08 10
0:17:09 and
0:17:10 right
0:17:10 now
0:17:10 everything
0:17:10 is
0:17:11 banking
0:17:11 on
0:17:11 these
0:17:11 10
0:17:12 companies
0:17:13 living
0:17:13 up
0:17:13 to
0:17:13 these
0:17:14 extraordinary
0:17:15 expectations
0:17:16 your
0:17:16 thoughts
0:17:17 I agree
0:17:17 with most
0:17:17 of
0:17:18 that
0:17:19 one
0:17:19 of
0:17:20 the
0:17:21 data
0:17:21 points
0:17:21 that
0:17:21 was
0:17:22 really
0:17:22 disturbing
0:17:22 is
0:17:22 two
0:17:23 years
0:17:23 ago
0:17:24 someone
0:17:24 talking
0:17:24 about
0:17:25 GDP
0:17:25 growth
0:17:25 would
0:17:25 not
0:17:26 have
0:17:26 mentioned
0:17:26 tech
0:17:26 capital
0:17:27 spending
0:17:27 it
0:17:27 would
0:17:27 have
0:17:27 been
0:17:27 a
0:17:27 rounding
0:17:28 error
0:17:29 last
0:17:29 quarter
0:17:30 it
0:17:30 was
0:17:30 a
0:17:30 third
0:17:31 of
0:17:31 GDP
0:17:31 growth
0:17:32 and
0:17:32 US
0:17:33 GDP
0:17:33 growth
0:17:33 would
0:17:34 already
0:17:34 be
0:17:35 1%
0:17:35 if
0:17:35 it
0:17:35 weren’t
0:17:36 for
0:17:36 this
0:17:36 tech
0:17:36 AI
0:17:37 build
0:17:37 out
0:17:38 and
0:17:38 you
0:17:38 know
0:17:38 how
0:17:39 people
0:17:39 get
0:17:39 upset
0:17:40 when
0:17:40 the
0:17:41 private
0:17:41 sector
0:17:41 gets
0:17:42 bailed
0:17:42 out
0:17:42 by
0:17:42 the
0:17:42 public
0:17:43 sector
0:17:43 I
0:17:43 would
0:17:44 argue
0:17:44 this
0:17:44 year
0:17:46 generative
0:17:46 AI
0:17:46 has
0:17:46 bailed
0:17:47 out
0:17:47 the
0:17:47 public
0:17:47 sector
0:17:48 the
0:17:50 hyperscale
0:17:50 has
0:17:50 bailed
0:17:51 out
0:17:51 the
0:17:51 Trump
0:17:51 administration
0:17:52 because
0:17:52 without
0:17:52 them
0:17:53 they’d
0:17:53 be
0:17:54 staring
0:17:54 a
0:17:54 1%
0:17:55 GDP
0:17:55 growth
0:17:55 number
0:17:55 in the
0:17:56 face
0:17:56 and
0:17:57 having
0:17:57 to
0:17:57 explain
0:17:57 it
0:17:58 which
0:17:58 they’re
0:17:59 in
0:17:59 really
0:17:59 no
0:17:59 position
0:18:00 to
0:18:00 do
0:18:00 and
0:18:01 by
0:18:01 the
0:18:01 way
0:18:01 I
0:18:01 don’t
0:18:01 think
0:18:02 it’s
0:18:02 a
0:18:02 coincidence
0:18:03 that
0:18:04 we
0:18:05 track
0:18:05 all
0:18:05 of
0:18:06 the
0:18:06 country
0:18:06 product
0:18:07 tariff
0:18:07 matrix
0:18:08 combinations
0:18:10 the
0:18:10 AI
0:18:11 infrastructure
0:18:12 about
0:18:12 70 to
0:18:13 90%
0:18:13 of those
0:18:14 imports
0:18:14 are exempt
0:18:14 from
0:18:14 tariffs
0:18:15 right
0:18:15 now
0:18:15 so
0:18:16 those
0:18:17 sectors
0:18:17 and
0:18:18 companies
0:18:18 have
0:18:18 also
0:18:18 done
0:18:18 a
0:18:18 very
0:18:19 good
0:18:19 job
0:18:20 navigating
0:18:20 however
0:18:21 one
0:18:24 in
0:18:24 order
0:18:25 to
0:18:25 get
0:18:25 their
0:18:26 imports
0:18:26 which
0:18:27 are
0:18:27 critical
0:18:27 to
0:18:27 their
0:18:28 survival
0:18:28 exempt
0:18:29 from
0:18:29 tariffs
0:18:30 so
0:18:30 yeah
0:18:31 I’m
0:18:31 nervous
0:18:31 about
0:18:32 it
0:18:32 again
0:18:33 the
0:18:34 fact
0:18:34 that
0:18:34 it’s
0:18:34 being
0:18:35 financed
0:18:35 through
0:18:35 cash
0:18:36 flow
0:18:37 means
0:18:37 that
0:18:38 we
0:18:38 don’t
0:18:38 have
0:18:38 quite
0:18:39 the
0:18:39 same
0:18:40 risk
0:18:40 of
0:18:40 a
0:18:41 sudden
0:18:42 seize
0:18:42 up
0:18:43 because
0:18:43 you know
0:18:44 bonds
0:18:44 can’t
0:18:44 be
0:18:45 placed
0:18:47 you know
0:18:47 you’re
0:18:47 not
0:18:47 going
0:18:47 to
0:18:47 have
0:18:48 a
0:18:48 hung
0:18:48 bridge
0:18:49 loan
0:18:50 that
0:18:51 gets
0:18:51 like
0:18:51 the
0:18:52 broker
0:18:52 dealers
0:18:52 in
0:18:52 trouble
0:18:53 and
0:18:53 have
0:18:53 to
0:18:53 go
0:18:53 to
0:18:53 the
0:18:53 Fed’s
0:18:54 primary
0:18:54 dealer
0:18:54 credit
0:18:55 facility
0:18:55 you’re
0:18:55 not
0:18:56 going
0:18:56 to have
0:18:56 something
0:18:56 like
0:18:56 that
0:18:58 Oracle
0:18:58 is
0:18:58 really
0:18:58 the
0:18:59 only
0:18:59 one
0:18:59 that’s
0:18:59 financing
0:19:00 any
0:19:00 material
0:19:00 amount
0:19:01 of
0:19:01 this
0:19:01 through
0:19:01 debt
0:19:02 my
0:19:02 understanding
0:19:03 so
0:19:03 Oracle
0:19:04 is
0:19:04 raising
0:19:05 a ton
0:19:05 of
0:19:05 debt
0:19:05 and
0:19:06 it’s
0:19:07 you know
0:19:07 capital
0:19:08 markets
0:19:08 are
0:19:08 concerned
0:19:08 about
0:19:09 this
0:19:09 and
0:19:09 that
0:19:09 we’re
0:19:09 seeing
0:19:10 that
0:19:10 reflected
0:19:10 in
0:19:10 the
0:19:10 stock
0:19:11 price
0:19:11 is
0:19:11 essentially
0:19:12 underwater
0:19:12 since
0:19:13 the
0:19:16 deal
0:19:16 with
0:19:16 open
0:19:17 I was
0:19:17 announced
0:19:18 my
0:19:18 understanding
0:19:19 though
0:19:19 is that
0:19:20 the
0:19:20 other
0:19:20 big
0:19:21 hyperscalers
0:19:22 are
0:19:22 going
0:19:22 out
0:19:22 and
0:19:23 beginning
0:19:23 to
0:19:23 raise
0:19:24 debt
0:19:25 I mean
0:19:25 we just
0:19:26 saw a big
0:19:26 announcement
0:19:27 from Amazon
0:19:28 and we
0:19:28 saw that
0:19:29 from Meta
0:19:29 a couple
0:19:30 weeks ago
0:19:30 as well
0:19:31 I don’t
0:19:31 know the
0:19:31 exact
0:19:32 numbers
0:19:32 but
0:19:32 my
0:19:33 understanding
0:19:33 is
0:19:33 they
0:19:33 are
0:19:34 going
0:19:34 and
0:19:34 financing
0:19:35 this
0:19:35 with
0:19:35 a ton
0:19:35 of
0:19:36 debt
0:19:36 perhaps
0:19:37 not
0:19:37 debt
0:19:37 that
0:19:37 they
0:19:38 necessarily
0:19:38 have
0:19:38 to
0:19:39 raise
0:19:39 perhaps
0:19:39 they
0:19:39 have
0:19:40 the
0:19:40 cash
0:19:41 surplus
0:19:41 to
0:19:42 finance
0:19:43 this
0:19:43 but
0:19:44 they
0:19:44 are
0:19:44 going
0:19:45 and
0:19:45 raising
0:19:45 debt
0:19:45 and
0:19:45 it’s
0:19:46 record
0:19:46 amounts
0:19:46 of
0:19:46 debt
0:19:47 that
0:19:47 they
0:19:47 are
0:19:47 raising
0:19:48 is
0:19:48 that
0:19:49 wrong
0:19:49 of
0:19:49 the
0:19:50 40
0:19:50 companies
0:19:51 I
0:19:51 mentioned
0:19:51 as
0:19:52 AI
0:19:52 stocks
0:19:53 30
0:19:53 are
0:19:54 technology
0:19:54 what
0:19:55 you and
0:20:00 turbines
0:20:01 and
0:20:01 then
0:20:01 five
0:20:01 are
0:20:02 utilities
0:20:03 let’s
0:20:03 look
0:20:03 at
0:20:04 the
0:20:04 30
0:20:04 AI
0:20:05 stocks
0:20:05 something
0:20:05 like
0:20:06 25
0:20:06 of
0:20:06 them
0:20:07 actually
0:20:07 have
0:20:08 negative
0:20:09 net
0:20:09 debt
0:20:09 to
0:20:10 EBIT
0:20:10 ratios
0:20:11 because
0:20:11 they
0:20:11 have
0:20:11 more
0:20:12 cash
0:20:12 and
0:20:12 cash
0:20:13 equivalence
0:20:13 on
0:20:13 their
0:20:13 balance
0:20:13 sheet
0:20:14 than
0:20:14 debt
0:20:15 so
0:20:15 for
0:20:15 the
0:20:16 most
0:20:16 part
0:20:17 the
0:20:17 debt
0:20:18 is
0:20:18 not
0:20:18 an
0:20:18 issue
0:20:18 the
0:20:19 Oracle
0:20:19 is
0:20:19 an
0:20:19 exception
0:20:20 and
0:20:20 is
0:20:20 in
0:20:20 part
0:20:20 a
0:20:20 reflection
0:20:21 of
0:20:21 the
0:20:21 fact
0:20:21 that
0:20:22 Ellison
0:20:22 has
0:20:22 been
0:20:22 buying
0:20:23 back
0:20:23 stock
0:20:30 have
0:20:30 to
0:20:30 be
0:20:31 recapitalized
0:20:31 if
0:20:31 it’s
0:20:31 going
0:20:31 to
0:20:31 be
0:20:31 borrowing
0:20:32 like
0:20:32 this
0:20:33 the
0:20:33 Meta
0:20:33 deal
0:20:33 was
0:20:34 interesting
0:20:35 and
0:20:36 when
0:20:36 I
0:20:37 explain
0:20:37 how
0:20:37 I
0:20:37 view
0:20:38 it
0:20:38 you’ll
0:20:38 probably
0:20:38 say
0:20:38 well
0:20:39 that’s
0:20:39 even
0:20:40 scarier
0:20:40 than
0:20:41 if
0:20:41 it
0:20:41 was
0:20:41 meta
0:20:42 let’s
0:20:43 hear it
0:20:44 the
0:20:44 Meta
0:20:45 partnership
0:20:45 with
0:20:46 Blue Owl
0:20:46 that
0:20:46 borrowed
0:20:47 27
0:20:47 billion
0:20:47 in
0:20:47 the
0:20:48 investment
0:20:48 grade
0:20:48 bond
0:20:49 markets
0:20:49 was
0:20:49 an
0:20:50 SPV
0:20:50 with
0:20:50 a
0:20:51 strange
0:20:51 French
0:20:51 name
0:20:52 and
0:20:53 the
0:20:53 debts
0:20:53 not
0:20:54 consolidated
0:20:55 onto
0:20:55 Meta’s
0:20:55 balance
0:20:56 sheet
0:20:56 initially
0:20:56 I
0:20:56 was
0:20:57 concerned
0:20:57 that
0:20:57 that
0:20:57 was
0:20:57 some
0:20:58 kind
0:20:58 of
0:20:58 sleight
0:20:58 of
0:20:58 hand
0:20:59 it’s
0:20:59 not
0:20:59 it’s
0:20:59 worse
0:21:01 they
0:21:01 basically
0:21:02 have
0:21:02 walkaway
0:21:02 rights
0:21:03 every
0:21:03 four
0:21:03 years
0:21:04 and
0:21:04 a
0:21:04 declining
0:21:05 residual
0:21:06 value
0:21:06 guarantee
0:21:08 Blue Owl’s
0:21:08 holding the
0:21:08 bag
0:21:10 so
0:21:10 Blue Owl
0:21:11 is at
0:21:12 risk
0:21:12 if at
0:21:13 any
0:21:13 point
0:21:14 Meta
0:21:15 basically
0:21:15 says
0:21:16 you know
0:21:16 this
0:21:17 we’re not
0:21:17 getting a
0:21:17 return on
0:21:18 this
0:21:18 particular
0:21:18 data
0:21:18 center
0:21:20 complex
0:21:21 we’re
0:21:21 out
0:21:22 and
0:21:22 Blue Owl
0:21:23 and the
0:21:23 people that
0:21:23 have put up
0:21:25 the
0:21:26 money for
0:21:27 Blue Owl
0:21:27 was
0:21:28 right
0:21:28 to
0:21:29 withhold
0:21:30 consolidation
0:21:31 of that
0:21:32 obligation
0:21:32 but it
0:21:33 says
0:21:34 a lot
0:21:34 about
0:21:34 the
0:21:34 underwriting
0:21:35 discipline
0:21:35 that’s
0:21:35 taking
0:21:36 place
0:21:37 in
0:21:38 private
0:21:38 credit
0:21:39 and in
0:21:39 other
0:21:40 places
0:21:40 that are
0:21:41 financing
0:21:41 these
0:21:41 data
0:21:42 centers
0:21:42 because
0:21:42 they’re
0:21:42 the
0:21:43 ones
0:21:43 that
0:21:43 are
0:21:43 taking
0:21:43 the
0:21:43 risk
0:21:44 it’s
0:21:44 essentially
0:21:45 releasing
0:21:45 risk
0:21:46 the likes
0:21:46 of which
0:21:46 you’ve
0:21:47 seen
0:21:48 forever
0:21:48 in the
0:21:48 commercial
0:21:48 real
0:21:48 estate
0:21:49 markets
0:21:49 so
0:21:49 it
0:21:50 sounds
0:21:50 like
0:21:50 someone
0:21:51 is
0:21:51 on
0:21:51 the
0:21:51 hook
0:21:51 in
0:21:52 this
0:21:52 case
0:21:52 it’s
0:21:53 Blue Owl
0:21:53 and we’re
0:21:53 probably
0:21:54 seeing
0:21:54 equivalents
0:21:55 in these
0:21:55 other
0:21:55 debt
0:21:56 deals
0:21:56 and by
0:21:56 the way
0:21:56 we’re
0:21:57 seeing
0:21:57 this
0:21:57 kind of
0:21:57 reflect
0:21:57 in the
0:21:58 stock
0:21:58 right now
0:21:59 Blue Owl
0:21:59 is publicly
0:22:00 traded
0:22:00 and it’s
0:22:01 declining
0:22:01 this week
0:22:03 but
0:22:03 is
0:22:04 is the
0:22:04 is the
0:22:05 conclusion
0:22:05 because
0:22:06 it sounds
0:22:06 like
0:22:07 you agree
0:22:07 with
0:22:07 Aswath
0:22:08 we are
0:22:08 seeing
0:22:09 some
0:22:09 we’re
0:22:09 seeing
0:22:10 some
0:22:10 form
0:22:10 of
0:22:10 a
0:22:11 bubble
0:22:11 people
0:22:12 are
0:22:12 exuberant
0:22:13 there’s
0:22:13 a lot
0:22:13 of
0:22:13 hype
0:22:13 and a lot
0:22:14 of
0:22:14 excitement
0:22:14 that
0:22:15 isn’t
0:22:15 fully
0:22:16 tethered
0:22:16 to
0:22:16 reality
0:22:17 right now
0:22:17 when it
0:22:17 comes
0:22:17 to
0:22:18 AI
0:22:18 but
0:22:18 it
0:22:19 sounds
0:22:19 like
0:22:19 where
0:22:19 you
0:22:20 disagree
0:22:21 is
0:22:21 the
0:22:21 extent
0:22:22 and
0:22:22 scale
0:22:22 of the
0:22:22 damage
0:22:23 that
0:22:23 we’re
0:22:23 going
0:22:23 to
0:22:23 see
0:22:24 if
0:22:24 something
0:22:25 blows
0:22:25 up
0:22:26 or at
0:22:31 the
0:22:32 year
0:22:32 was
0:22:32 the
0:22:32 Trump
0:22:33 people
0:22:33 were
0:22:33 going
0:22:33 to
0:22:33 break
0:22:34 something
0:22:34 we’d
0:22:34 have
0:22:34 a
0:22:35 15%
0:22:35 to
0:22:36 20%
0:22:36 correction
0:22:37 but
0:22:37 stocks
0:22:37 would
0:22:37 end
0:22:37 the
0:22:37 year
0:22:38 higher
0:22:38 than
0:22:38 where
0:22:38 they
0:22:38 began
0:22:40 it
0:22:40 happened
0:22:40 within
0:22:41 50 days
0:22:42 of the
0:22:43 inauguration
0:22:43 they broke
0:22:43 everything
0:22:45 markets
0:22:46 went down
0:22:46 they eventually
0:22:47 came back
0:22:48 I wouldn’t
0:22:48 I wouldn’t
0:22:49 describe
0:22:49 any of the
0:22:50 subsequent
0:22:50 recovery
0:22:50 as
0:22:51 the
0:22:52 byproduct
0:22:52 of
0:22:53 administration
0:22:53 policy
0:22:54 but I
0:22:54 think
0:22:55 you and
0:22:55 Scott
0:22:56 are right
0:22:56 which is
0:22:58 it would
0:22:58 be
0:22:58 kind of
0:22:59 shocking
0:22:59 if
0:23:00 you
0:23:00 didn’t
0:23:00 have
0:23:01 some
0:23:01 kind
0:23:01 of
0:23:01 profit
0:23:02 taking
0:23:02 correction
0:23:04 in
0:23:04 2026
0:23:05 at some
0:23:05 point
0:23:06 on the
0:23:06 order
0:23:06 of
0:23:07 10
0:23:07 to
0:23:07 15%
0:23:08 it
0:23:08 would
0:23:08 be
0:23:09 I’d
0:23:09 be
0:23:10 I’d
0:23:10 be
0:23:10 really
0:23:11 surprised
0:23:11 not
0:23:11 to
0:23:11 see
0:23:12 that
0:23:12 the
0:23:13 big
0:23:13 question
0:23:14 is
0:23:15 if
0:23:15 you
0:23:15 told
0:23:15 me
0:23:15 the
0:23:16 drawdown
0:23:16 is
0:23:16 12%
0:23:17 I
0:23:17 don’t
0:23:18 really
0:23:18 have
0:23:18 to
0:23:18 make
0:23:19 any
0:23:19 substantial
0:23:20 portfolio
0:23:21 allocation
0:23:22 changes
0:23:22 here
0:23:22 we can
0:23:23 we can
0:23:23 work
0:23:23 through
0:23:24 that
0:23:24 with
0:23:24 the
0:23:24 way
0:23:24 that
0:23:24 we
0:23:24 manage
0:23:25 money
0:23:25 if
0:23:26 it’s
0:23:26 40
0:23:26 that’s
0:23:26 different
0:23:27 and
0:23:28 so
0:23:28 that’s
0:23:29 essentially
0:23:29 the big
0:23:30 call
0:23:30 that
0:23:30 asset
0:23:31 allocators
0:23:31 and
0:23:31 ERISA
0:23:32 plans
0:23:32 and
0:23:32 endowments
0:23:32 and
0:23:33 foundations
0:23:33 have to
0:23:33 make
0:23:34 are we
0:23:35 looking at
0:23:35 a 12
0:23:36 to 15%
0:23:36 correction
0:23:37 or are we
0:23:37 looking at
0:23:37 something
0:23:38 that’s
0:23:38 going to
0:23:38 end up
0:23:38 at 40
0:23:40 right now
0:23:42 with
0:23:42 a little
0:23:42 bit of
0:23:43 Fed
0:23:43 easing
0:23:44 and
0:23:45 some
0:23:46 steady
0:23:46 momentum
0:23:47 I’m
0:23:48 more
0:23:49 inclined
0:23:49 to think
0:23:49 of the
0:23:50 12
0:23:50 to 15
0:23:50 and the
0:23:51 40
0:23:53 we’ll be
0:23:54 right back
0:23:54 after the
0:23:54 break

0:27:05 we’re back
0:27:05 with
0:27:06 property
0:27:06 markets
0:27:07 I just
0:27:07 want to
0:27:08 unpack
0:27:08 something
0:27:08 you said
0:27:09 about
0:27:09 the
0:27:09 Trump
0:27:10 administration
0:27:10 would
0:27:10 not
0:27:11 have
0:27:11 nearly
0:27:11 the
0:27:11 cloud
0:27:12 cover
0:27:12 for
0:27:12 some
0:27:12 of
0:27:12 the
0:27:12 things
0:27:13 he was
0:27:13 doing
0:27:13 if
0:27:14 these
0:27:14 10
0:27:15 companies
0:27:15 were
0:27:15 off
0:27:16 the
0:27:16 S&P
0:27:16 would
0:27:16 be
0:27:17 flat
0:27:17 or
0:27:17 down
0:27:17 GDP
0:27:18 the
0:27:19 stuff
0:27:19 I’ve
0:27:19 said
0:27:19 is
0:27:19 that
0:27:19 we’d
0:27:19 actually
0:27:20 already
0:27:20 be
0:27:20 in
0:27:20 a
0:27:21 recession
0:27:22 so
0:27:23 he
0:27:23 has
0:27:23 a
0:27:23 vested
0:27:24 interest
0:27:24 in
0:27:24 this
0:27:25 boom
0:27:25 continuing
0:27:26 I
0:27:26 wouldn’t
0:27:26 say
0:27:26 this
0:27:27 bubble
0:27:27 but
0:27:27 this
0:27:27 boom
0:27:28 continuing
0:27:29 doesn’t
0:27:29 that
0:27:29 I
0:27:29 feel
0:27:29 like
0:27:30 all
0:27:30 pass
0:27:30 lead
0:27:30 to
0:27:30 the
0:27:31 same
0:27:31 place
0:27:31 and
0:27:31 that
0:27:32 is
0:27:32 the
0:27:32 government
0:27:32 will
0:27:33 back
0:27:34 the
0:27:34 debt
0:27:34 to
0:27:35 continue
0:27:35 to
0:27:35 make
0:27:35 these
0:27:36 extraordinary
0:27:37 capital
0:27:38 purchases
0:27:38 which
0:27:39 in
0:27:39 my
0:27:39 view
0:27:40 weakens
0:27:41 the
0:27:41 strength
0:27:42 and
0:27:42 integrity
0:27:43 of
0:27:44 the
0:27:44 US
0:27:44 debt
0:27:45 markets
0:27:45 or
0:27:46 treasuries
0:27:47 and
0:27:47 it’s
0:27:47 like
0:27:47 a
0:27:47 further
0:27:48 move
0:27:48 into
0:27:49 socialism
0:27:49 but
0:27:50 I
0:27:50 predict
0:27:50 he
0:27:50 is
0:27:50 going
0:27:51 to
0:27:51 back
0:27:52 these
0:27:53 companies
0:27:54 not
0:27:54 the
0:27:55 real
0:27:55 economy
0:27:56 not
0:27:56 the
0:27:56 main
0:27:56 street
0:27:56 economy
0:27:57 not
0:27:57 the
0:27:57 490
0:27:58 companies
0:27:58 in
0:27:58 the
0:27:58 S&P
0:27:58 that
0:27:58 got
0:27:58 to
0:27:59 actually
0:27:59 compete
0:28:00 in
0:28:00 the
0:28:02 but
0:28:02 he
0:28:02 has
0:28:03 such
0:28:03 a
0:28:03 vested
0:28:03 interest
0:28:03 in
0:28:04 the
0:28:04 music
0:28:05 continuing
0:28:05 here
0:28:06 that
0:28:06 the
0:28:07 government
0:28:07 will
0:28:07 step
0:28:08 in
0:28:08 and
0:28:08 offer
0:28:08 in
0:28:09 some
0:28:09 way
0:28:09 to
0:28:10 back
0:28:10 the
0:28:11 exceptional
0:28:11 capital
0:28:12 expenditures
0:28:13 so they
0:28:13 can
0:28:14 continue
0:28:14 to
0:28:14 make
0:28:14 them
0:28:14 and
0:28:15 that
0:28:15 is
0:28:15 only
0:28:16 inflating
0:28:16 the
0:28:16 bubble
0:28:16 to
0:28:17 very
0:28:17 dangerous
0:28:18 territory
0:28:18 your
0:28:19 thoughts
0:28:19 on
0:28:19 that
0:28:19 thesis
0:28:20 that
0:28:20 would
0:28:21 worry
0:28:21 me
0:28:21 if
0:28:21 I
0:28:21 saw
0:28:21 it
0:28:23 I
0:28:23 would
0:28:24 they’ve
0:28:24 done
0:28:24 a
0:28:24 couple
0:28:24 things
0:28:25 so
0:28:25 far
0:28:25 that
0:28:25 I
0:28:25 would
0:28:25 in
0:28:26 fairness
0:28:26 put
0:28:26 in
0:28:26 different
0:28:27 bucket
0:28:27 I
0:28:27 like
0:28:27 I
0:28:28 you
0:28:28 know
0:28:28 Jamie
0:28:28 is a
0:28:29 very
0:28:29 inspirational
0:28:30 CEO
0:28:31 and
0:28:31 one
0:28:31 of
0:28:31 the
0:28:31 things
0:28:32 I
0:28:32 admire
0:28:32 most
0:28:32 about
0:28:32 him
0:28:33 is
0:28:33 he
0:28:33 calls
0:28:33 it
0:28:33 like
0:28:33 he
0:28:34 sees
0:28:34 it
0:28:34 right
0:28:35 so
0:28:38 they’ve
0:28:38 done
0:28:38 a couple
0:28:39 of deals
0:28:39 with
0:28:39 MP
0:28:40 materials
0:28:40 and
0:28:41 Intel
0:28:42 both
0:28:42 of
0:28:42 those
0:28:43 deals
0:28:43 fall
0:28:44 under
0:28:44 traditional
0:28:45 industrial
0:28:46 policy
0:28:47 of
0:28:47 trying
0:28:48 to
0:28:48 rescue
0:28:49 supply
0:28:49 chains
0:28:49 that
0:28:49 are
0:28:50 rapidly
0:28:50 diminishing
0:28:50 in
0:28:50 the
0:28:50 United
0:28:51 States
0:28:51 with
0:28:51 respect
0:28:52 to
0:28:52 domestic
0:28:53 semiconductor
0:28:53 production
0:28:54 and
0:28:55 critical
0:28:55 minerals
0:28:56 I
0:28:56 think
0:28:56 you’re
0:28:56 being
0:28:56 generous
0:28:57 when
0:28:57 they
0:28:57 pick
0:28:57 one
0:28:58 company
0:28:58 and
0:28:58 take
0:28:58 a
0:28:58 stake
0:28:59 and
0:28:59 they
0:28:59 take
0:28:59 a
0:28:59 golden
0:28:59 share
0:28:59 in
0:29:00 one
0:29:00 steel
0:29:00 company
0:29:01 I
0:29:01 would
0:29:01 argue
0:29:01 that
0:29:02 is
0:29:02 not
0:29:02 structural
0:29:02 or
0:29:03 there’s
0:29:03 not
0:29:03 a
0:29:03 systemic
0:29:04 strategy
0:29:04 there
0:29:04 that’s
0:29:04 the
0:29:05 blood
0:29:05 sugar
0:29:05 of a
0:29:05 man
0:29:05 who
0:29:05 thinks
0:29:06 he
0:29:06 can
0:29:06 run
0:29:06 these
0:29:06 businesses
0:29:07 better
0:29:07 than
0:29:07 the
0:29:08 private
0:29:08 sector
0:29:09 I’m
0:29:09 going
0:29:09 to
0:29:09 disagree
0:29:09 with
0:29:10 you
0:29:10 on
0:29:10 that
0:29:10 one
0:29:10 and
0:29:11 NP
0:29:11 materials
0:29:11 in
0:29:12 particular
0:29:14 I
0:29:14 mean
0:29:14 they
0:29:15 have
0:29:15 provided
0:29:15 a
0:29:16 price
0:29:16 floor
0:29:17 on
0:29:17 neodymium
0:29:18 and
0:29:18 presodymium
0:29:19 which is
0:29:19 needed
0:29:19 by the
0:29:19 US
0:29:20 military
0:29:20 it’s
0:29:20 the
0:29:21 last
0:29:21 man
0:29:22 standing
0:29:22 in
0:29:22 that
0:29:22 sector
0:29:24 if
0:29:24 you
0:29:25 told
0:29:25 me
0:29:25 that
0:29:26 a
0:29:27 presidential
0:29:28 administration
0:29:28 had to
0:29:29 administer
0:29:30 an
0:29:30 industrial
0:29:30 policy
0:29:31 to
0:29:31 pick
0:29:31 winners
0:29:31 and
0:29:32 losers
0:29:33 this
0:29:33 might
0:29:33 be
0:29:34 the
0:29:34 last
0:29:34 administration
0:29:35 I
0:29:35 would
0:29:35 want
0:29:35 to
0:29:35 do
0:29:35 that
0:29:36 that
0:29:36 said
0:29:37 you
0:29:37 know
0:29:37 you
0:29:37 don’t
0:29:38 get
0:29:38 the
0:29:38 time
0:29:39 and
0:29:39 place
0:29:40 and
0:29:40 as
0:29:41 things
0:29:41 stand
0:29:41 right
0:29:41 now
0:29:42 China
0:29:42 has
0:29:43 a
0:29:43 chokehold
0:29:43 on
0:29:44 those
0:29:44 critical
0:29:44 minerals
0:29:45 and
0:29:46 whatever
0:29:46 administration
0:29:47 is
0:29:47 in
0:29:47 power
0:29:48 is
0:29:49 responsible
0:29:49 for
0:29:49 making
0:29:50 sure
0:29:51 particularly
0:29:51 with
0:29:51 China
0:29:52 flexing
0:29:52 its
0:29:52 muscles
0:29:52 on
0:29:53 export
0:29:53 controls
0:29:54 that
0:29:54 we
0:29:54 start
0:29:55 the
0:29:55 process
0:29:56 of
0:29:56 trying
0:29:56 to
0:29:57 rebuild
0:29:57 both
0:29:58 mining
0:29:58 and
0:29:58 processing
0:29:58 of
0:29:59 critical
0:29:59 minerals
0:29:59 if
0:30:00 you
0:30:00 can’t
0:30:00 do
0:30:00 that
0:30:00 you’ve
0:30:00 got
0:30:01 a
0:30:01 wide
0:30:01 range
0:30:01 of
0:30:01 both
0:30:02 renewable
0:30:02 energy
0:30:03 and
0:30:03 military
0:30:04 applications
0:30:04 that
0:30:04 will
0:30:04 soon
0:30:05 become
0:30:06 untenable
0:30:06 that
0:30:07 has
0:30:07 to
0:30:07 be
0:30:07 done
0:30:08 I
0:30:08 would
0:30:09 have
0:30:09 preferred
0:30:09 for
0:30:10 Eisenhower
0:30:10 to do
0:30:10 it
0:30:11 okay
0:30:12 but
0:30:12 you know
0:30:12 I’m
0:30:13 63
0:30:14 so
0:30:15 I
0:30:15 probably
0:30:15 would
0:30:16 have
0:30:16 preferred
0:30:16 for
0:30:16 George
0:30:17 Bush
0:30:17 Senior
0:30:17 to do
0:30:18 it
0:30:19 right
0:30:20 I’m
0:30:20 not
0:30:20 sure
0:30:20 I
0:30:20 would
0:30:20 have
0:30:20 wanted
0:30:21 Obama
0:30:21 to
0:30:21 do
0:30:22 it
0:30:22 those
0:30:23 I’m
0:30:23 not
0:30:23 sure
0:30:23 I
0:30:23 would
0:30:23 have
0:30:23 wanted
0:30:24 Jennifer
0:30:24 Granholm
0:30:24 to do
0:30:25 it
0:30:26 so
0:30:26 but
0:30:26 you
0:30:26 don’t
0:30:26 get
0:30:26 to
0:30:27 pick
0:30:27 your
0:30:27 time
0:30:27 and
0:30:27 place
0:30:29 Intel
0:30:29 was
0:30:29 different
0:30:30 there’s
0:30:30 there’s
0:30:30 no
0:30:31 guarantee
0:30:31 of
0:30:32 demand
0:30:33 there’s
0:30:33 no
0:30:33 price
0:30:33 floors
0:30:34 it’s
0:30:34 basically
0:30:34 just
0:30:35 a
0:30:35 cash
0:30:35 infusion
0:30:36 and
0:30:36 based
0:30:36 on
0:30:37 everything
0:30:37 I
0:30:37 understand
0:30:37 about
0:30:38 Intel
0:30:38 their
0:30:38 problem
0:30:38 isn’t
0:30:39 money
0:30:40 so
0:30:40 the
0:30:40 worst
0:30:40 thing
0:30:41 about
0:30:41 that
0:30:41 one
0:30:41 is
0:30:41 I
0:30:42 don’t
0:30:42 even
0:30:42 think
0:30:42 whatever
0:30:43 it is
0:30:43 they
0:30:43 did
0:30:44 is
0:30:44 going
0:30:44 to
0:30:45 be
0:30:45 very
0:30:45 impactful
0:30:47 but
0:30:47 I
0:30:48 do
0:30:48 expect
0:30:49 to
0:30:49 see
0:30:51 more
0:30:53 intervention
0:30:53 by the
0:30:54 administration
0:30:55 in
0:30:57 companies
0:30:57 that
0:30:58 represent
0:30:58 the
0:30:59 tail
0:30:59 end
0:30:59 of
0:31:00 surviving
0:31:00 supply
0:31:01 chains
0:31:01 whether
0:31:01 it’s
0:31:02 ship
0:31:02 building
0:31:03 or
0:31:03 anything
0:31:03 else
0:31:04 and
0:31:04 I’m
0:31:05 actually
0:31:06 I’m
0:31:06 actually
0:31:07 I’m
0:31:07 not
0:31:07 I’m
0:31:08 not
0:31:08 a
0:31:08 heritage
0:31:08 Cato
0:31:09 guy
0:31:09 so
0:31:10 I’m
0:31:10 in
0:31:11 support
0:31:11 of
0:31:11 that
0:31:11 you
0:31:12 oversee
0:31:12 and
0:31:13 kind
0:31:13 of
0:31:13 set
0:31:13 the
0:31:14 strategy
0:31:14 and
0:31:14 the
0:31:15 narrative
0:31:15 and
0:31:15 the
0:31:15 theme
0:31:15 for
0:31:15 one
0:31:15 of
0:31:42 and
0:31:43 the
0:31:44 and
0:31:44 the
0:31:45 and
0:31:45 the
0:31:45 answer
0:31:45 to
0:31:45 the
0:31:46 question
0:31:46 I
0:31:46 think
0:31:46 you’ll
0:31:47 find
0:31:47 interesting
0:31:48 because
0:31:48 it’s
0:31:48 less
0:31:49 about
0:31:49 changing
0:31:49 the
0:31:50 asset
0:31:50 allocation
0:31:52 of
0:31:52 the
0:31:52 different
0:31:53 portfolios
0:31:54 it’s
0:31:54 more
0:31:54 about
0:31:55 explaining
0:31:55 to
0:31:56 clients
0:31:56 that
0:31:57 they
0:31:58 may be
0:31:58 better
0:31:59 off
0:31:59 switching
0:32:00 from
0:32:00 balanced
0:32:01 to
0:32:01 conservative
0:32:01 or from
0:32:02 growth
0:32:02 to
0:32:02 balanced
0:32:03 when
0:32:03 we
0:32:04 define
0:32:04 the
0:32:04 risk
0:32:05 contours
0:32:05 of a
0:32:05 balanced
0:32:05 portfolio
0:32:06 there
0:32:06 are
0:32:07 certain
0:32:07 parameters
0:32:08 that
0:32:08 we
0:32:08 can
0:32:08 go
0:32:09 outside
0:32:09 of
0:32:10 but
0:32:10 usually
0:32:10 tend
0:32:10 not
0:32:11 to
0:32:11 want
0:32:11 to
0:32:11 do
0:32:12 and
0:32:12 so
0:32:13 if
0:32:14 we’re
0:32:14 really
0:32:15 feeling
0:32:15 that
0:32:16 the
0:32:16 risk
0:32:16 return
0:32:16 of
0:32:16 a
0:32:17 growth
0:32:17 portfolio
0:32:17 is
0:32:18 changing
0:32:19 we
0:32:19 would
0:32:19 rather
0:32:19 have
0:32:19 the
0:32:20 student
0:32:20 body
0:32:22 change
0:32:22 from
0:32:23 being
0:32:23 pre-med
0:32:23 to
0:32:24 pre-law
0:32:24 and
0:32:25 migrate
0:32:25 down
0:32:26 to
0:32:26 the
0:32:26 balanced
0:32:27 portfolio
0:32:27 risk
0:32:28 rather
0:32:28 than
0:32:28 have
0:32:28 to
0:32:29 turn
0:32:29 the
0:32:30 balanced
0:32:30 portfolio
0:32:30 or
0:32:30 the
0:32:31 growth
0:32:31 portfolio
0:32:31 into
0:32:32 something
0:32:32 it
0:32:32 isn’t
0:32:33 because
0:32:33 there’s
0:32:33 always
0:32:33 going
0:32:33 to
0:32:34 be
0:32:34 people
0:32:34 with
0:32:36 generational
0:32:36 money
0:32:37 or
0:32:38 quite
0:32:38 frankly
0:32:40 the
0:32:40 city
0:32:41 of
0:32:41 Chicago
0:32:42 Cook
0:32:43 County
0:32:44 Illinois
0:32:44 New
0:32:44 Jersey
0:32:46 plans
0:32:46 that
0:32:46 are
0:32:46 kind
0:32:47 of
0:32:47 on
0:32:48 paper
0:32:48 in
0:32:49 extreme
0:32:49 distress
0:32:50 their
0:32:51 inclination
0:32:52 is to
0:32:52 take
0:32:53 a lot
0:32:53 of
0:32:53 risk
0:32:54 and
0:32:54 so
0:32:55 I
0:32:55 don’t
0:32:55 want
0:32:55 to
0:32:55 change
0:32:56 what
0:32:56 a
0:32:56 growth
0:32:56 portfolio
0:32:57 does
0:32:57 because
0:32:57 there
0:32:58 are
0:32:58 people
0:32:58 that
0:32:59 are
0:32:59 going
0:33:00 to
0:33:00 allocate
0:33:00 to
0:33:00 that
0:33:00 and
0:33:01 have
0:33:01 every
0:33:01 right
0:33:01 to
0:33:02 expect
0:33:02 the
0:33:02 growth
0:33:03 portfolio
0:33:03 to
0:33:03 be
0:33:04 positioned
0:33:04 the
0:33:04 way
0:33:04 a
0:33:04 growth
0:33:05 portfolio
0:33:05 looks
0:33:06 so
0:33:06 part
0:33:06 of
0:33:06 our
0:33:07 job
0:33:07 is
0:33:07 to
0:33:07 explain
0:33:08 to
0:33:09 whoever
0:33:09 wants
0:33:09 to
0:33:10 listen
0:33:11 that
0:33:11 the
0:33:12 risk
0:33:12 return
0:33:13 is
0:33:13 skewing
0:33:13 because
0:33:13 of
0:33:13 where
0:33:13 the
0:33:14 valuations
0:33:14 are
0:33:14 so
0:33:14 you
0:33:15 might
0:33:15 want
0:33:15 to
0:33:15 move
0:33:16 down
0:33:16 the
0:33:16 portfolio
0:33:17 chain
0:33:17 what
0:33:18 does
0:33:18 a
0:33:18 balanced
0:33:19 or
0:33:19 more
0:33:20 defensive
0:33:20 portfolio
0:33:21 look
0:33:22 like
0:33:22 for
0:33:22 those
0:33:23 just
0:33:23 at
0:33:23 a
0:33:23 high
0:33:23 high
0:33:24 level
0:33:25 general
0:33:25 level
0:33:26 like
0:33:26 what
0:33:26 does
0:33:26 that
0:33:27 portfolio
0:33:27 look
0:33:27 like
0:33:28 bonds
0:33:28 versus
0:33:29 stocks
0:33:29 you’re
0:33:30 talking
0:33:30 about
0:33:30 30 to
0:33:31 40 percent
0:33:31 of the
0:33:32 portfolio
0:33:32 being
0:33:33 in some
0:33:34 combination
0:33:36 of cash
0:33:37 short-term
0:33:39 A1 P1
0:33:39 commercial
0:33:40 paper
0:33:42 municipals
0:33:43 for
0:33:43 taxable
0:33:44 clients
0:33:45 super
0:33:46 diversified
0:33:48 hedge
0:33:48 funds
0:33:49 like
0:33:50 30 to
0:33:50 40
0:33:50 of
0:33:51 them
0:33:52 where
0:33:52 like
0:33:53 the
0:33:53 vol
0:33:53 turns out
0:33:54 to be
0:33:54 something
0:33:54 like
0:33:55 5 or
0:33:56 6 percent
0:33:58 and
0:33:59 some
0:34:00 preferred
0:34:00 stock
0:34:01 things like
0:34:01 that
0:34:01 so
0:34:02 you’re
0:34:02 kind of
0:34:02 taking
0:34:02 a lot
0:34:03 of the
0:34:03 directional
0:34:03 beta
0:34:04 risk
0:34:04 out
0:34:04 of
0:34:04 it
0:34:06 you
0:34:07 would
0:34:08 you know
0:34:08 you’re
0:34:08 obviously
0:34:09 positioning
0:34:09 much
0:34:09 more
0:34:10 defensively
0:34:11 healthcare
0:34:12 is
0:34:12 trading
0:34:13 at
0:34:13 like
0:34:14 the
0:34:14 cheapest
0:34:15 valuation
0:34:15 on record
0:34:16 relative
0:34:16 to itself
0:34:17 and relative
0:34:17 to the
0:34:17 market
0:34:18 so
0:34:19 if
0:34:19 you’re
0:34:19 going
0:34:19 to
0:34:19 take
0:34:20 a
0:34:20 position
0:34:21 someplace
0:34:22 go
0:34:23 someplace
0:34:23 where
0:34:23 you
0:34:23 can
0:34:23 be
0:34:23 paid
0:34:24 for
0:34:24 the
0:34:24 risk
0:34:24 a little
0:34:24 bit
0:34:25 better
0:34:25 you know
0:34:25 so
0:34:25 stuff
0:34:26 like
0:34:26 that
0:34:26 how
0:34:27 is
0:34:27 tech
0:34:28 valued
0:34:28 at
0:34:29 large
0:34:29 right
0:34:29 now
0:34:29 in terms
0:34:29 of
0:34:30 paying
0:34:30 you
0:34:30 for
0:34:30 the
0:34:31 risk
0:34:31 the
0:34:31 first
0:34:32 thing
0:34:32 people
0:34:32 tend
0:34:32 to
0:34:32 do
0:34:32 is
0:34:33 say
0:34:33 I’m
0:34:33 going
0:34:33 to
0:34:33 look
0:34:40 here
0:34:40 staples
0:34:41 but
0:34:42 for
0:34:42 a
0:34:42 hundred
0:34:42 years
0:34:43 people
0:34:43 have
0:34:43 been
0:34:43 adjusting
0:34:44 PE
0:34:44 ratios
0:34:45 for
0:34:45 growth
0:34:46 like
0:34:46 for
0:34:46 earnings
0:34:46 growth
0:34:47 and ROE
0:34:48 and ROA
0:34:49 and capital
0:34:49 efficiency
0:34:50 so
0:34:51 if
0:34:51 and one of the
0:34:52 things we do
0:34:52 and we share
0:34:53 this in all
0:34:53 our publications
0:34:54 is we plot
0:34:56 both stocks
0:34:57 and sectors
0:34:57 and industries
0:34:58 with
0:34:59 return on
0:35:00 equity
0:35:01 on the
0:35:01 x-axis
0:35:02 and either
0:35:03 PE or
0:35:03 price to
0:35:04 book on
0:35:04 the y-axis
0:35:05 and so
0:35:07 there’s a lot
0:35:07 more
0:35:08 consistency
0:35:09 to the way
0:35:09 the market’s
0:35:09 valued
0:35:10 once you
0:35:10 adjust
0:35:10 for
0:35:10 earnings
0:35:11 growth
0:35:11 now you
0:35:12 may think
0:35:12 the slope
0:35:12 of the
0:35:12 curve
0:35:13 is too
0:35:13 steep
0:35:13 and I
0:35:14 wouldn’t
0:35:14 disagree
0:35:14 with you
0:35:15 but to
0:35:15 just
0:35:15 kind
0:35:15 of
0:35:16 look
0:35:16 at
0:35:16 PE
0:35:17 differentials
0:35:17 is
0:35:17 really
0:35:18 missing
0:35:18 the
0:35:18 point
0:35:19 that
0:35:19 even
0:35:20 before
0:35:20 this
0:35:21 generative
0:35:21 AI
0:35:21 boom
0:35:22 and we
0:35:22 roll
0:35:22 back
0:35:22 the
0:35:22 clock
0:35:23 2019
0:35:24 the
0:35:24 tech
0:35:25 sector
0:35:25 had
0:35:25 double
0:35:26 the
0:35:26 margins
0:35:26 of
0:35:26 the
0:35:27 rest
0:35:27 of
0:35:27 the
0:35:27 market
0:35:28 they
0:35:28 had
0:35:29 become
0:35:29 the
0:35:29 things
0:35:30 that
0:35:30 the
0:35:30 tech
0:35:31 investors
0:35:31 of
0:35:31 2000
0:35:32 would
0:35:32 eventually
0:35:33 dream
0:35:33 they
0:35:33 would
0:35:33 be
0:35:34 which
0:35:34 is
0:35:35 highly
0:35:35 capital
0:35:35 efficient
0:35:36 low
0:35:37 employment
0:35:37 businesses
0:35:38 with
0:35:38 huge
0:35:39 operating
0:35:39 margins
0:35:40 so
0:35:41 that’s
0:35:41 what
0:35:41 they
0:35:41 were
0:35:42 even
0:35:42 before
0:35:42 this
0:35:42 whole
0:35:43 AI
0:35:43 boom
0:35:43 started
0:35:44 yeah
0:35:44 something
0:35:44 that
0:35:44 I
0:35:45 was
0:35:45 thinking
0:35:45 about
0:35:45 after
0:35:45 we
0:35:46 spoke
0:35:46 with
0:35:46 Aswath
0:35:46 I
0:35:47 mean
0:35:47 his
0:35:47 his
0:35:48 core
0:35:49 valuation
0:35:49 tool
0:35:49 is
0:35:49 the
0:35:50 equity
0:35:50 risk
0:35:50 premium
0:35:51 which
0:35:51 basically
0:35:52 he’s
0:35:52 taking
0:35:52 the
0:35:53 rate
0:35:53 of
0:35:53 return
0:35:54 on
0:35:54 stocks
0:35:54 minus
0:35:55 the
0:35:56 risk
0:35:56 free
0:35:56 rate
0:35:56 and
0:35:57 he
0:35:57 sort
0:35:57 of
0:35:57 plots
0:35:58 that
0:35:58 out
0:35:58 yeah
0:35:59 and
0:36:00 you
0:36:00 know
0:36:01 you’re
0:36:01 not
0:36:01 a
0:36:01 fan
0:36:02 it
0:36:03 doesn’t
0:36:03 have
0:36:03 any
0:36:03 nuance
0:36:03 to
0:36:04 it
0:36:04 it
0:36:04 doesn’t
0:36:04 look
0:36:04 at
0:36:05 earnings
0:36:05 growth
0:36:05 and
0:36:05 more
0:36:05 it
0:36:06 doesn’t
0:36:06 differentiate
0:36:06 between
0:36:07 sectors
0:36:07 and
0:36:08 you know
0:36:09 and
0:36:09 it’s
0:36:10 I
0:36:10 understand
0:36:10 why
0:36:10 people
0:36:10 want
0:36:10 to
0:36:11 look
0:36:11 at
0:36:11 it
0:36:11 over
0:36:11 the
0:36:11 really
0:36:12 long
0:36:12 run
0:36:12 it
0:36:12 can
0:36:12 be
0:36:13 a
0:36:13 helpful
0:36:13 tool
0:36:14 yeah
0:36:14 well
0:36:14 I
0:36:15 think
0:36:15 it’s
0:36:15 helpful
0:36:16 when
0:36:17 you’re
0:36:17 trying
0:36:17 to
0:36:17 take
0:36:17 a
0:36:18 bird’s
0:36:18 eye
0:36:18 view
0:36:18 and
0:36:18 understand
0:36:19 where
0:36:19 we
0:36:19 are
0:36:20 sentiment
0:36:20 and
0:36:20 the
0:36:21 thing
0:36:21 that
0:36:21 kind
0:36:21 of
0:36:22 surprised
0:36:22 me
0:36:23 is
0:36:23 you
0:36:23 know
0:36:24 we’re
0:36:24 at
0:36:24 around
0:36:25 3.7%
0:36:26 by that
0:36:26 measure
0:36:26 and
0:36:27 you know
0:36:27 to be
0:36:27 fair to him
0:36:28 he says
0:36:29 anything below
0:36:30 4%
0:36:30 is a little
0:36:30 bit
0:36:31 dangerous
0:36:31 but
0:36:31 we’re
0:36:32 also
0:36:32 nowhere
0:36:32 near
0:36:32 where
0:36:33 we
0:36:33 were
0:36:33 in
0:36:34 99
0:36:34 when
0:36:34 it
0:36:34 was
0:36:35 around
0:36:35 2%
0:36:36 and
0:36:37 you
0:36:37 know
0:36:37 you
0:36:37 you’re
0:36:38 someone
0:36:38 I
0:36:38 mean
0:36:39 you
0:36:39 were
0:36:39 a
0:36:39 managing
0:36:40 director
0:36:41 during
0:36:41 the
0:36:42 dot-com
0:36:42 boom
0:36:43 and bust
0:36:44 you
0:36:44 were
0:36:45 the
0:36:45 chief
0:36:45 investment
0:36:46 officer
0:36:46 of
0:36:46 JP
0:36:46 Morgan
0:36:47 during
0:36:47 the
0:36:48 2008
0:36:48 financial
0:36:49 crisis
0:36:49 so
0:36:50 you’ve
0:36:50 seen
0:36:50 these
0:36:50 cycles
0:36:51 before
0:36:51 and
0:36:52 I
0:36:52 think
0:36:52 what
0:36:52 we’re
0:36:52 describing
0:36:53 here
0:36:53 is
0:36:53 like
0:36:53 how
0:36:53 do
0:36:53 we
0:36:54 put
0:36:54 this
0:36:54 in
0:36:54 the
0:36:54 context
0:36:55 of
0:36:55 not
0:36:56 just
0:36:56 tech
0:36:57 versus
0:36:58 industrials
0:36:58 versus
0:36:59 consumer
0:37:00 but
0:37:00 how do
0:37:01 we
0:37:01 put it
0:37:01 in
0:37:01 the
0:37:01 context
0:37:01 of
0:37:02 all
0:37:02 of
0:37:02 history
0:37:03 and
0:37:03 what
0:37:03 does
0:37:03 this
0:37:04 look
0:37:04 like
0:37:04 compared
0:37:05 to
0:37:05 previous
0:37:06 crises
0:37:06 and
0:37:06 previous
0:37:07 cycles
0:37:07 I
0:37:08 couldn’t
0:37:08 sleep
0:37:10 in
0:37:10 March
0:37:10 of
0:37:11 2008
0:37:11 like
0:37:11 I
0:37:12 couldn’t
0:37:12 sleep
0:37:13 the
0:37:14 things
0:37:14 that
0:37:14 we
0:37:14 were
0:37:14 seeing
0:37:14 on
0:37:15 a
0:37:15 daily
0:37:15 basis
0:37:15 were
0:37:16 so
0:37:16 bad
0:37:19 and
0:37:19 we
0:37:19 knew
0:37:19 that
0:37:20 it
0:37:20 was
0:37:21 infecting
0:37:22 the
0:37:22 entire
0:37:23 network
0:37:24 of
0:37:24 the
0:37:24 financial
0:37:24 system
0:37:25 and
0:37:25 we
0:37:25 went
0:37:26 underweight
0:37:26 both
0:37:27 stocks
0:37:27 and
0:37:28 high
0:37:28 yield
0:37:29 the
0:37:29 only
0:37:29 mistake
0:37:29 we
0:37:30 made
0:37:30 is
0:37:30 we
0:37:30 didn’t
0:37:30 do
0:37:30 more
0:37:31 of
0:37:31 it
0:37:31 just
0:37:32 to
0:37:32 show
0:37:32 you
0:37:32 how
0:37:33 hidden
0:37:33 those
0:37:33 risks
0:37:34 were
0:37:34 JP
0:37:35 Morgan
0:37:35 which
0:37:35 is
0:37:35 an
0:37:35 exceptionally
0:37:36 run
0:37:36 bank
0:37:37 bought
0:37:38 a
0:37:38 couple
0:37:41 summer
0:37:42 for
0:37:42 its
0:37:42 own
0:37:42 balance
0:37:42 sheet
0:37:43 three
0:37:43 months
0:37:43 before
0:37:44 they
0:37:44 went
0:37:44 to
0:37:44 conservatorship
0:37:45 right
0:37:45 so
0:37:45 that’s
0:37:46 how
0:37:46 hidden
0:37:47 the
0:37:48 depth
0:37:48 of
0:37:48 the
0:37:49 problems
0:37:49 were
0:37:51 2001
0:37:52 was
0:37:53 easier
0:37:54 because
0:37:55 the
0:37:55 companies
0:37:55 weren’t
0:37:56 making
0:37:56 any
0:37:56 money
0:37:57 and
0:37:57 so
0:37:57 as
0:37:58 long
0:37:58 as
0:37:58 you
0:37:58 had
0:38:00 some
0:38:00 degree
0:38:00 of
0:38:01 discipline
0:38:01 and
0:38:02 support
0:38:02 from
0:38:02 your
0:38:02 investment
0:38:03 committee
0:38:03 to
0:38:04 go
0:38:04 through
0:38:04 a
0:38:05 period
0:38:05 of
0:38:05 temporary
0:38:06 underperformance
0:38:06 as the
0:38:06 market
0:38:06 was
0:38:07 rocking
0:38:08 you
0:38:08 did
0:38:08 fine
0:38:09 right
0:38:10 and so
0:38:10 that
0:38:10 in a way
0:38:11 that was
0:38:11 the
0:38:11 easiest
0:38:12 one
0:38:14 I
0:38:14 remember
0:38:16 we had
0:38:16 this
0:38:17 annual
0:38:17 MD
0:38:17 meeting
0:38:18 and
0:38:19 the
0:38:19 chairman
0:38:19 at the
0:38:20 time
0:38:20 invited
0:38:20 a
0:38:21 company
0:38:21 to
0:38:21 come
0:38:21 speak
0:38:21 to
0:38:22 us
0:38:22 in
0:38:22 1999
0:38:23 he
0:38:23 invited
0:38:23 a
0:38:24 CEO
0:38:24 to
0:38:24 come
0:38:24 on
0:38:24 stage
0:38:24 and
0:38:25 address
0:38:25 all
0:38:25 the
0:38:25 MDs
0:38:26 and
0:38:26 he
0:38:26 was
0:38:26 the
0:38:27 CEO
0:38:27 of
0:38:27 a
0:38:27 company
0:38:27 called
0:38:28 the
0:38:29 globe.com
0:38:29 so
0:38:29 I
0:38:29 pulled
0:38:30 up
0:38:30 the
0:38:31 globe.com
0:38:31 on
0:38:32 Bloomberg
0:38:32 and I
0:38:32 hit
0:38:33 DBS
0:38:33 and
0:38:34 it
0:38:34 said
0:38:34 this
0:38:35 company
0:38:35 has
0:38:35 no
0:38:36 business
0:38:36 model
0:38:41 invited
0:38:41 a
0:38:41 guy
0:38:41 who
0:38:42 runs
0:38:42 a
0:38:42 company
0:38:42 with
0:38:42 no
0:38:43 business
0:38:43 model
0:38:43 to
0:38:43 address
0:38:44 us
0:38:44 I
0:38:44 think
0:38:45 we’ll
0:38:45 go
0:38:45 underweight
0:38:46 now
0:38:46 right
0:38:46 I
0:38:46 mean
0:38:46 so
0:38:47 that
0:38:47 was
0:38:47 pretty
0:38:48 easy
0:38:49 this
0:38:49 this
0:38:50 is
0:38:51 a
0:38:51 harder
0:38:52 one
0:38:53 because
0:38:54 you
0:38:54 know
0:38:54 in
0:38:54 many
0:38:54 ways
0:38:55 Google
0:38:55 is
0:38:55 one
0:38:55 of
0:38:55 the
0:38:55 most
0:38:56 successful
0:38:56 companies
0:38:57 in
0:38:58 the
0:38:58 history
0:38:58 of
0:38:59 the
0:38:59 markets
0:39:00 I
0:39:00 personally
0:39:01 think
0:39:01 their
0:39:01 AI
0:39:02 related
0:39:02 language
0:39:02 model
0:39:03 products
0:39:03 are
0:39:03 better
0:39:03 than
0:39:04 everybody
0:39:04 else
0:39:04 and
0:39:05 I
0:39:05 think
0:39:05 they’re
0:39:05 the
0:39:05 long
0:39:05 term
0:39:06 winners
0:39:06 in
0:39:06 this
0:39:06 race
0:39:07 and
0:39:07 so
0:39:08 I
0:39:08 have
0:39:08 a
0:39:08 lot
0:39:08 of
0:39:09 respect
0:39:09 for
0:39:09 what
0:39:10 that
0:39:10 company
0:39:10 has
0:39:10 accomplished
0:39:12 you
0:39:12 know
0:39:12 I
0:39:13 have
0:39:13 similar
0:39:14 feelings
0:39:14 about
0:39:14 what
0:39:18 but
0:39:19 like
0:39:19 Microsoft
0:39:20 signed
0:39:20 a
0:39:20 deal
0:39:21 recently
0:39:22 with
0:39:23 Constellation
0:39:23 Energy
0:39:24 to turn
0:39:25 back on
0:39:25 a nuclear
0:39:26 power
0:39:26 plant
0:39:26 in
0:39:27 Three Mile
0:39:27 Island
0:39:29 They’ve
0:39:29 agreed to
0:39:30 pay
0:39:31 something
0:39:31 in the
0:39:31 neighborhood
0:39:31 of
0:39:32 $130
0:39:32 a
0:39:33 megawatt
0:39:33 hour
0:39:33 now
0:39:34 most
0:39:34 of
0:39:34 your
0:39:34 listeners
0:39:35 don’t
0:39:35 know
0:39:35 what
0:39:35 that
0:39:36 means
0:39:37 that’s
0:39:37 double
0:39:38 wholesale
0:39:38 power
0:39:38 prices
0:39:39 for
0:39:40 an
0:39:40 average
0:39:41 20
0:39:41 year
0:39:42 PPA
0:39:42 agreement
0:39:43 the
0:39:43 other
0:39:44 risk
0:39:44 that
0:39:44 we
0:39:44 need
0:39:44 to
0:39:45 acknowledge
0:39:45 is
0:39:45 we’re
0:39:46 getting
0:39:46 closer
0:39:47 to a
0:39:47 power
0:39:48 wall
0:39:49 that
0:39:49 will
0:39:50 prevent
0:39:50 open
0:39:51 AI
0:39:51 from
0:39:51 getting
0:39:52 anywhere
0:39:52 near
0:39:53 like
0:39:54 they’ve
0:39:54 announced
0:39:55 partnerships
0:39:55 with
0:39:56 Broadcom
0:39:57 Oracle
0:39:58 AMD
0:40:00 and
0:40:01 NVIDIA
0:40:02 that would
0:40:02 require
0:40:03 30
0:40:04 gigawatts
0:40:05 of power
0:40:06 which is
0:40:06 the
0:40:06 equivalent
0:40:07 of
0:40:08 16
0:40:08 Hoover
0:40:09 dams
0:40:09 like
0:40:10 that’s
0:40:10 just
0:40:10 not
0:40:10 going
0:40:10 to
0:40:10 happen
0:40:12 so
0:40:12 what
0:40:13 we’re
0:40:13 trying
0:40:13 to
0:40:13 figure
0:40:13 out
0:40:14 is
0:40:14 how
0:40:15 much
0:40:15 of
0:40:15 what’s
0:40:15 in
0:40:15 the
0:40:16 price
0:40:16 of
0:40:16 this
0:40:17 whole
0:40:17 AI
0:40:18 boom
0:40:18 is
0:40:18 the
0:40:19 expectation
0:40:19 that
0:40:20 these
0:40:20 announcements
0:40:20 are
0:40:21 actually
0:40:21 going
0:40:21 to
0:40:21 come
0:40:21 to
0:40:22 fruition
0:40:22 under
0:40:23 some
0:40:23 three
0:40:23 to
0:40:23 five
0:40:24 year
0:40:24 time
0:40:24 frame
0:40:25 because
0:40:25 it’s
0:40:26 impossible
0:40:26 yeah
0:40:27 it seems
0:40:28 it seems
0:40:28 kind of
0:40:29 obvious
0:40:29 to almost
0:40:30 everyone
0:40:30 that I
0:40:31 mean if
0:40:31 you look
0:40:31 at the
0:40:31 numbers
0:40:32 when you
0:40:32 see
0:40:33 the
0:40:33 amount
0:40:33 of
0:40:34 power
0:40:34 that
0:40:34 it’s
0:40:34 going
0:40:34 to
0:40:35 take
0:40:35 to
0:40:35 build
0:40:35 out
0:40:36 AI
0:40:36 the way
0:40:36 open
0:40:36 AI
0:40:37 would
0:40:37 like
0:40:38 it’s
0:40:38 like
0:40:38 oh
0:40:39 yeah
0:40:39 that’s
0:40:39 that’s
0:40:39 not
0:40:40 possible
0:40:41 and
0:40:41 you know
0:40:41 one
0:40:42 of the
0:40:42 things
0:40:42 that
0:40:42 we’ve
0:40:42 been
0:40:42 talking
0:40:43 a lot
0:40:43 about
0:40:44 recently
0:40:44 is that
0:40:44 crazy
0:40:45 interaction
0:40:46 between
0:40:47 Sam Altman
0:40:47 and Brad
0:40:47 Gerstner
0:40:48 I don’t know
0:40:48 if you
0:40:48 saw this
0:40:49 where Brad
0:40:50 Gerstner
0:40:50 says
0:40:51 you know
0:40:51 you’re
0:40:51 going to
0:40:52 spend
0:40:52 you’re
0:40:52 making
0:40:52 13
0:40:53 billion
0:40:53 dollars
0:40:53 in
0:40:53 revenue
0:40:54 you plan
0:40:54 to spend
0:40:55 one and a half
0:40:55 trillion
0:40:56 dollars
0:40:56 over the
0:40:56 next few
0:40:56 years
0:40:57 how
0:40:57 are you
0:40:57 going
0:40:58 to pay
0:40:58 for it
0:40:59 to which
0:40:59 Sam Altman
0:41:00 responds
0:41:01 if you
0:41:01 want to
0:41:02 sell your
0:41:02 stock
0:41:02 you can
0:41:03 be my
0:41:03 guest
0:41:04 there are
0:41:04 plenty of
0:41:05 other
0:41:05 buyers
0:41:05 out there
0:41:06 who would
0:41:06 love to
0:41:06 buy
0:41:06 open
0:41:07 AI
0:41:07 stock
0:41:08 it
0:41:09 sounds
0:41:09 like
0:41:09 what
0:41:09 happens
0:41:10 when
0:41:11 there’s
0:41:11 a
0:41:11 syndicated
0:41:12 loan
0:41:14 distribution
0:41:14 now
0:41:14 on
0:41:15 Wall
0:41:15 Street
0:41:16 there’s
0:41:16 so
0:41:16 much
0:41:17 demand
0:41:17 that
0:41:18 if
0:41:18 you
0:41:19 press
0:41:19 the
0:41:19 button
0:41:20 that
0:41:20 says
0:41:20 on
0:41:20 the
0:41:20 syndicate
0:41:21 call
0:41:21 I
0:41:21 have
0:41:21 a
0:41:21 question
0:41:22 about
0:41:22 the
0:41:22 documents
0:41:23 you
0:41:23 get
0:41:24 disconnected
0:41:24 like
0:41:25 if
0:41:25 you
0:41:25 have
0:41:25 a
0:41:26 question
0:41:26 on
0:41:26 the
0:41:26 docs
0:41:26 you
0:41:27 don’t
0:41:27 need
0:41:27 to
0:41:27 be
0:41:27 part
0:41:27 of
0:41:28 the
0:41:28 syndicate
0:41:29 so
0:41:31 I would
0:41:31 agree
0:41:31 with you
0:41:31 those
0:41:31 are the
0:41:32 signs
0:41:32 that
0:41:33 are
0:41:33 kind
0:41:33 of
0:41:33 telling
0:41:33 me
0:41:34 that
0:41:34 we’ve
0:41:34 entered
0:41:34 into
0:41:34 a
0:41:35 period
0:41:35 where
0:41:36 the
0:41:37 risk
0:41:37 taking
0:41:37 isn’t
0:41:38 there
0:41:39 that
0:41:39 the
0:41:39 underwriting
0:41:40 has
0:41:40 gotten
0:41:40 sloppy
0:41:42 when
0:41:43 we
0:41:43 look
0:41:43 at
0:41:43 like
0:41:44 in
0:41:44 the
0:41:45 innards
0:41:45 of
0:41:45 the
0:41:45 private
0:41:46 credit
0:41:46 markets
0:41:47 private
0:41:48 credit
0:41:48 five
0:41:49 years
0:41:49 ago
0:41:50 was
0:41:50 substantially
0:41:51 different
0:41:51 than
0:41:51 leveraged
0:41:51 loans
0:41:52 in
0:41:53 really
0:41:53 boring
0:41:53 ways
0:41:54 having
0:41:54 to do
0:41:54 with
0:41:54 maintenance
0:41:55 covenants
0:41:56 IP
0:41:57 blockers
0:41:57 and
0:41:57 all
0:41:57 sorts
0:41:58 of
0:41:58 stuff
0:41:58 and
0:41:59 over
0:41:59 that
0:41:59 five
0:41:59 year
0:42:00 period
0:42:00 it’s
0:42:01 converging
0:42:01 rapidly
0:42:02 towards
0:42:02 the
0:42:03 leveraged
0:42:03 loan
0:42:03 market
0:42:03 which
0:42:04 basically
0:42:04 doesn’t
0:42:05 apply
0:42:05 much
0:42:05 of
0:42:05 an
0:42:06 underwriting
0:42:07 wall
0:42:07 at
0:42:07 all
0:42:08 you
0:42:08 know
0:42:08 so
0:42:08 we’re
0:42:09 kind
0:42:09 of
0:42:10 preparing
0:42:10 for
0:42:12 a
0:42:14 profit
0:42:14 taking
0:42:15 spark
0:42:16 that
0:42:17 comes
0:42:17 from
0:42:18 things
0:42:18 we
0:42:18 might
0:42:18 not
0:42:18 be
0:42:18 able
0:42:18 to
0:42:19 anticipate
0:42:20 a
0:42:21 violent
0:42:22 correction
0:42:23 in
0:42:24 overbid
0:42:24 assets
0:42:26 and
0:42:26 then
0:42:26 some
0:42:27 period
0:42:27 of
0:42:27 kind
0:42:27 of
0:42:28 recovery
0:42:28 and
0:42:28 calm
0:42:29 that
0:42:30 follows
0:42:30 in a
0:42:31 previous
0:42:31 life
0:42:31 Michael
0:42:31 I
0:42:32 used
0:42:32 to
0:42:32 take
0:42:32 boards
0:42:33 and
0:42:33 management
0:42:33 teams
0:42:34 outside
0:42:34 and
0:42:34 do
0:42:34 scenario
0:42:35 planning
0:42:35 as
0:42:36 an
0:42:36 exercise
0:42:36 for
0:42:37 how
0:42:37 they
0:42:37 allocate
0:42:37 their
0:42:38 capital
0:42:38 and
0:42:38 if
0:42:38 I
0:42:38 were
0:42:38 going
0:42:39 to
0:42:39 do
0:42:39 this
0:42:40 for
0:42:41 a
0:42:41 bank
0:42:41 or
0:42:41 anyone
0:42:42 else
0:42:42 there’s
0:42:42 a
0:42:42 couple
0:42:43 scenarios
0:42:43 I
0:42:43 want
0:42:43 to
0:42:44 outline
0:42:44 and
0:42:44 you
0:42:44 tell
0:42:44 me
0:42:45 if
0:42:45 they’re
0:42:45 realistic
0:42:46 if
0:42:46 you
0:42:46 think
0:42:46 they
0:42:46 might
0:42:47 happen
0:42:47 and
0:42:47 if
0:42:47 so
0:42:47 how
0:42:47 to
0:42:48 respond
0:42:49 the
0:42:49 first
0:42:50 scenario
0:42:50 is
0:42:51 all
0:42:51 right
0:42:52 built
0:42:52 into
0:42:52 these
0:42:54 valuations
0:42:54 of
0:42:54 these
0:42:54 AI
0:42:55 companies
0:42:55 is
0:42:56 what
0:42:56 I’ve
0:42:56 read
0:42:56 the
0:42:57 assumption
0:42:57 that
0:42:57 they’re
0:42:57 going
0:42:57 to
0:42:57 be
0:42:58 able
0:42:58 to
0:42:58 find
0:42:58 or
0:42:59 inspire
0:43:00 across
0:43:00 their
0:43:01 clients
0:43:01 three
0:43:02 to
0:43:02 five
0:43:02 trillion
0:43:02 dollars
0:43:03 incremental
0:43:03 revenues
0:43:04 or
0:43:05 efficiencies
0:43:06 now
0:43:06 I
0:43:07 don’t
0:43:07 see a lot
0:43:07 of
0:43:07 AI
0:43:08 moisturizer
0:43:08 out
0:43:09 there
0:43:09 what
0:43:09 I
0:43:09 do
0:43:09 see
0:43:09 is
0:43:10 companies
0:43:10 saying
0:43:11 okay
0:43:12 we’re
0:43:12 cutting
0:43:13 our
0:43:13 legal
0:43:13 expenses
0:43:14 we’re
0:43:14 cutting
0:43:14 compliance
0:43:15 there’s
0:43:15 real
0:43:15 savings
0:43:15 and
0:43:16 efficiencies
0:43:17 which
0:43:17 is
0:43:17 sort
0:43:17 of
0:43:17 latin
0:43:17 for
0:43:18 layoffs
0:43:19 and
0:43:20 if
0:43:20 you
0:43:20 think
0:43:21 that
0:43:21 160
0:43:22 million
0:43:22 people
0:43:22 in
0:43:22 the
0:43:23 nation
0:43:23 work
0:43:24 if
0:43:24 half
0:43:24 of
0:43:25 them
0:43:25 are
0:43:25 in
0:43:25 industries
0:43:26 and
0:43:26 mean
0:43:26 to
0:43:26 AI
0:43:27 chiropractors
0:43:28 you know
0:43:29 welders
0:43:30 80
0:43:30 million
0:43:30 are
0:43:31 vulnerable
0:43:32 if
0:43:32 you
0:43:32 were
0:43:33 to
0:43:33 not
0:43:34 inspire
0:43:34 which
0:43:34 I
0:43:34 have
0:43:35 not
0:43:35 seen
0:43:35 a ton
0:43:35 of
0:43:36 incremental
0:43:37 revenue
0:43:37 growth
0:43:37 from
0:43:38 AI
0:43:38 products
0:43:39 but
0:43:39 but
0:43:40 all
0:43:41 efficiencies
0:43:41 say
0:43:41 a
0:43:42 trillion
0:43:42 a
0:43:42 year
0:43:43 $100,000
0:43:44 average
0:43:44 load
0:43:44 per
0:43:44 job
0:43:45 you’re
0:43:45 talking
0:43:46 about
0:43:46 a
0:43:47 destruction
0:43:47 in
0:43:47 the
0:43:47 labor
0:43:48 market
0:43:48 of
0:43:48 10
0:43:49 million
0:43:49 jobs
0:43:50 a
0:43:51 year
0:43:52 across
0:43:52 the
0:43:52 80
0:43:52 million
0:43:53 jobs
0:43:53 that
0:43:53 are
0:43:53 vulnerable
0:43:54 or
0:43:54 a
0:43:55 12.5%
0:43:56 labor
0:43:57 destruction
0:43:57 per
0:43:57 year
0:43:57 in
0:43:58 certain
0:43:58 industries
0:43:58 which
0:43:59 may
0:43:59 not
0:43:59 sound
0:43:59 like
0:44:00 a lot
0:44:00 but
0:44:00 that’s
0:44:00 chaos
0:44:01 or
0:44:03 these
0:44:03 companies
0:44:04 valuations
0:44:04 get
0:44:04 cut
0:44:05 in
0:44:05 half
0:44:06 I
0:44:07 see
0:44:07 this
0:44:07 as
0:44:07 a
0:44:07 pretty
0:44:08 definitive
0:44:08 fork
0:44:08 in
0:44:09 the
0:44:09 road
0:44:09 either
0:44:10 pretty
0:44:10 much
0:44:10 chaos
0:44:11 in
0:44:11 the
0:44:11 labor
0:44:11 markets
0:44:11 for
0:44:15 just
0:44:15 down
0:44:16 their
0:44:16 expectations
0:44:16 and
0:44:17 valuations
0:44:18 what
0:44:19 are
0:44:19 your
0:44:19 thoughts
0:44:19 on
0:44:19 that
0:44:20 scenario
0:44:20 those
0:44:20 are
0:44:20 some
0:44:21 important
0:44:21 questions
0:44:23 that
0:44:24 says
0:44:24 it
0:44:24 all
0:44:26 the
0:44:26 first
0:44:26 kind
0:44:26 of
0:44:26 thought
0:44:27 piece
0:44:27 that
0:44:27 open
0:44:28 AI
0:44:28 published
0:44:28 after
0:44:29 GPT
0:44:29 was
0:44:29 released
0:44:30 was
0:44:30 a
0:44:31 piece
0:44:31 that
0:44:31 kind
0:44:31 of
0:44:32 jumped
0:44:32 out
0:44:32 and
0:44:33 said
0:44:34 generative
0:44:34 AI
0:44:34 is
0:44:34 going
0:44:34 to
0:44:35 be
0:44:35 complementary
0:44:36 to
0:44:36 workers
0:44:37 and
0:44:37 not
0:44:37 destructive
0:44:38 and I
0:44:38 remember
0:44:38 thinking
0:44:39 uh oh
0:44:40 it’s
0:44:40 going
0:44:40 to be
0:44:40 bad
0:44:41 because
0:44:42 they
0:44:44 were
0:44:44 ready
0:44:45 to go
0:44:45 out of
0:44:45 the
0:44:46 gate
0:44:46 with
0:44:46 a
0:44:47 paper
0:44:47 to
0:44:47 defend
0:44:48 the
0:44:48 labor
0:44:48 market
0:44:49 of
0:44:49 this
0:44:49 stuff
0:44:50 like
0:44:50 right
0:44:50 away
0:44:51 to try
0:44:51 to get
0:44:51 out
0:44:57 in
0:44:57 certain
0:44:57 industries
0:44:58 you know
0:44:58 the
0:44:58 other
0:44:59 thing
0:44:59 that
0:44:59 happened
0:45:00 and I
0:45:00 wrote
0:45:01 about
0:45:01 this
0:45:02 a
0:45:02 couple
0:45:02 months
0:45:03 ago
0:45:03 there
0:45:03 was
0:45:03 a
0:45:04 couple
0:45:04 of
0:45:04 papers
0:45:04 that
0:45:05 came
0:45:05 out
0:45:05 there
0:45:05 was
0:45:06 this
0:45:06 chart
0:45:06 showing
0:45:07 that
0:45:07 the
0:45:09 unemployment
0:45:09 rate
0:45:09 for
0:45:10 reaching
0:45:10 college
0:45:10 graduates
0:45:11 for
0:45:11 the
0:45:11 first
0:45:11 time
0:45:11 in
0:45:11 about
0:45:12 60
0:45:12 years
0:45:12 is
0:45:13 higher
0:45:13 now
0:45:13 than
0:45:14 the
0:45:14 overall
0:45:14 unemployment
0:45:14 rate
0:45:15 rather
0:45:15 than
0:45:15 lower
0:45:16 so
0:45:16 the
0:45:16 first
0:45:17 two
0:45:17 pieces
0:45:17 that
0:45:18 come
0:45:18 out
0:45:18 say
0:45:18 has
0:45:18 nothing
0:45:18 to do
0:45:19 with
0:45:19 generative
0:45:22 like
0:45:22 who
0:45:22 wrote
0:45:23 this
0:45:23 piece
0:45:23 and
0:45:24 as
0:45:24 you
0:45:24 unravel
0:45:25 the
0:45:25 threads
0:45:26 they’re
0:45:26 Silicon
0:45:27 Valley
0:45:27 think
0:45:27 tanks
0:45:28 and
0:45:29 so
0:45:30 then
0:45:30 I
0:45:30 kind
0:45:30 of
0:45:30 went
0:45:31 to
0:45:31 David
0:45:31 Auteur
0:45:32 and
0:45:32 Darren
0:45:33 Osamoglu
0:45:33 at

0:45:33 at
0:45:34 MIT
0:45:35 and
0:45:36 John
0:45:37 Berjolfson
0:45:37 at Stanford
0:45:38 you get
0:45:38 a different
0:45:39 answer
0:45:40 which is
0:45:41 yes
0:45:41 it’s
0:45:42 kind
0:45:42 of
0:45:42 looking
0:45:43 like
0:45:43 generative
0:45:44 AI
0:45:44 is
0:45:44 beginning
0:45:45 to
0:45:45 affect
0:45:47 those
0:45:47 young
0:45:48 college
0:45:48 graduates
0:45:49 so
0:45:50 we’re
0:45:51 starting
0:45:51 to
0:45:51 see
0:45:51 that
0:45:52 we
0:45:52 made
0:45:52 this
0:45:53 pyramid
0:45:54 of
0:45:55 things
0:45:55 about
0:45:55 AI
0:45:56 and
0:45:56 the
0:45:56 bottom
0:45:56 of
0:45:56 the
0:45:57 period
0:45:57 is
0:45:57 the
0:45:57 most
0:45:58 ubiquitous
0:45:58 thing
0:45:58 you
0:45:58 can
0:45:58 find
0:45:59 which
0:45:59 is
0:45:59 like
0:46:00 futurist
0:46:01 forecasts
0:46:01 and
0:46:02 all
0:46:02 sorts
0:46:02 of
0:46:02 stuff
0:46:03 and
0:46:03 then
0:46:03 as
0:46:03 you
0:46:03 go
0:46:04 a little
0:46:04 narrower
0:46:06 it’s
0:46:06 study
0:46:07 lab
0:46:08 studies
0:46:08 of
0:46:08 AI
0:46:08 doing
0:46:09 non
0:46:09 business
0:46:09 related
0:46:10 things
0:46:10 they’re
0:46:10 great
0:46:11 right
0:46:11 it’s
0:46:12 it plays
0:46:12 chess
0:46:13 it plays
0:46:13 go
0:46:14 it plays
0:46:15 it can
0:46:15 do
0:46:15 all
0:46:16 sorts
0:46:16 of
0:46:16 non
0:46:16 business
0:46:17 related
0:46:17 things
0:46:18 extremely
0:46:18 well
0:46:18 it can
0:46:19 play
0:46:19 your
0:46:19 wordle
0:46:19 for
0:46:20 you
0:46:20 right
0:46:21 then
0:46:22 now
0:46:23 let’s
0:46:23 see
0:46:23 how
0:46:23 does
0:46:23 it
0:46:23 do
0:46:24 in
0:46:24 actual
0:46:24 business
0:46:25 related
0:46:25 tasks
0:46:26 pyramids
0:46:27 getting
0:46:27 narrower
0:46:27 but
0:46:28 there
0:46:28 are
0:46:28 some
0:46:28 studies
0:46:29 out
0:46:29 there
0:46:29 showing
0:46:29 this
0:46:29 in
0:46:30 a
0:46:30 lab
0:46:30 setting
0:46:31 then
0:46:31 you
0:46:32 want
0:46:32 like
0:46:33 surveys
0:46:34 of
0:46:34 adoption
0:46:35 but
0:46:35 then
0:46:35 you
0:46:35 get
0:46:35 those
0:46:35 kind
0:46:36 of
0:46:36 bland
0:46:37 you
0:46:37 know
0:46:38 cream
0:46:38 of
0:46:39 chicken
0:46:39 soup
0:46:40 pieces
0:46:40 from
0:46:40 McKinsey
0:46:45 right
0:46:45 and
0:46:45 you
0:46:46 don’t
0:46:46 really
0:46:46 learn
0:46:46 anything
0:46:47 from
0:46:47 that
0:46:47 and
0:46:48 then
0:46:48 you
0:46:48 keep
0:46:48 going
0:46:48 up
0:46:48 the
0:46:49 pyramid
0:46:49 to
0:46:50 hardcore
0:46:51 stuff
0:46:51 where
0:46:52 what
0:46:52 are
0:46:52 the
0:46:53 revenue
0:46:54 and
0:46:54 profit
0:46:55 and
0:46:56 productivity
0:46:57 consequences
0:46:57 of doing
0:46:57 this
0:46:58 stuff
0:46:58 there’s
0:46:58 only
0:46:59 a
0:46:59 handful
0:46:59 of
0:47:00 those
0:47:00 and
0:47:01 what
0:47:01 you
0:47:01 can’t
0:47:01 find
0:47:01 at
0:47:02 all
0:47:03 is
0:47:03 the
0:47:04 top
0:47:04 of
0:47:04 the
0:47:04 pyramid
0:47:05 which
0:47:05 are
0:47:06 pathways
0:47:07 explicit
0:47:08 pathways
0:47:08 to
0:47:09 profitability
0:47:09 for

0:47:10 adoption
0:47:11 for
0:47:11 the
0:47:11 hyperscalers
0:47:14 we’ll be

0:49:54 we’re back with
0:49:55 Profty Markets
0:49:56 I think China’s pissed
0:49:58 off I think they’re sick
0:49:59 of trying to figure out
0:50:01 the US-China relationship
0:50:03 plan their economy and
0:50:04 they’re diversifying away
0:50:05 from us 24% of their
0:50:06 exports use to come to the
0:50:08 US not 17 but they really
0:50:10 feel as if they have I
0:50:12 believe they feel we have
0:50:13 declared economic war on
0:50:14 them and that they are
0:50:15 going to punch back and
0:50:16 one way they might punch
0:50:18 back or what I would do
0:50:19 if I were she we run
0:50:21 companies for profit they
0:50:22 sort of run companies for
0:50:24 control and geopolitical
0:50:25 advantage and if I were
0:50:28 them I would begin a
0:50:29 government sponsored drive
0:50:31 of capital and strategy to
0:50:34 essentially engage in what
0:50:35 in the 80s they did with
0:50:37 steel but with AI and
0:50:39 engage in massive AI
0:50:40 dumping and that is create
0:50:43 a ton of LLMs that have
0:50:44 near parity technically to
0:50:46 US LLMs and then dump
0:50:48 them into the market you
0:50:50 know kind of these open
0:50:52 weight open source LLMs that
0:50:53 basically do what China
0:50:55 does and that is offer 95
0:50:57 97% of the premium high end
0:51:00 US product for 5% of the
0:51:02 price and then essentially
0:51:05 cut go for the jugular just
0:51:07 flood the market with open
0:51:09 weight LLMs and AI products
0:51:12 for near free that takes
0:51:14 down massively erodes the
0:51:15 margin power of these
0:51:17 companies takes them down
0:51:18 and thereby takes the US
0:51:21 economy down your thoughts
0:51:23 so the outlook for this year
0:51:25 has four major risks number
0:51:27 one is the power constraint
0:51:28 wall number two is the thing
0:51:30 you just said which is the
0:51:31 China basically scales the
0:51:33 moat on its own as as
0:51:35 recently as three years ago
0:51:36 that scenario you just
0:51:36 described would have been
0:51:37 impossible
0:51:40 China is the world leader in
0:51:41 a lot of things you know
0:51:43 fission they’ve made more
0:51:45 fusion advances they’re ahead
0:51:46 in genetic testing of certain
0:51:49 new drugs they have there’s a
0:51:51 really cool thing that looks
0:51:53 at the complexity of exports
0:51:55 it’s I think the it’s one of
0:51:56 the Harvard labs that does it
0:51:58 they’ve converged now with the
0:52:00 United States so the complexity
0:52:02 in the industrial complexity and
0:52:03 sophistication of their exports
0:52:05 has matched that of the United
0:52:07 States but as recently as five
0:52:09 years ago they couldn’t figure
0:52:11 out the semiconductor thing
0:52:15 and through a combination of
0:52:18 ingenuity and theft they have
0:52:21 now acquired a lot of things
0:52:23 there’s a long list of people
0:52:25 that used to work for for you
0:52:28 know either TSMC or ASML that
0:52:30 are now working for Huawei and
0:52:31 Huawei has announced that next
0:52:34 year they expect to sell to your
0:52:37 points got a chip cluster that
0:52:39 matches or exceeds the
0:52:41 performance of what you can get
0:52:44 from NVIDIA now it’s got more
0:52:47 it matches the power the chip on a
0:52:49 per chip basis it’s only let’s say
0:52:50 a third is powerful but they say
0:52:52 fine we’ll just use three times as
0:52:55 many chips and so that’s they’re
0:52:57 trying to use a combination of
0:52:59 brain and brawn to do that I at
0:53:02 that kind of still feels two years
0:53:04 away but China’s on a really
0:53:06 long-term journey and I would
0:53:07 agree that that is very much
0:53:09 explicitly their goal I want to
0:53:11 talk more about the your 2026
0:53:15 outlook so you mentioned that the
0:53:17 number one risks or the number one
0:53:20 risk is power constraints we don’t
0:53:22 have enough power to build all the
0:53:23 things that we want to build
0:53:25 particularly AI you said number two is
0:53:28 China what else should we know in
0:53:30 terms of risks well the two other
0:53:33 ones is the the more that China is
0:53:38 able to rely on its own chip
0:53:40 ecosystem the that means that number
0:53:43 three risk has to be Taiwan because
0:53:47 you know the Taiwan essentially was
0:53:50 always protected by the fact that
0:53:52 China relied 90 percent for its
0:53:54 advanced chips on Taiwanese output you
0:53:56 know the the day we wake up and that
0:53:58 number is below 50 percent I think
0:54:00 you have to start to reevaluate some
0:54:02 of the geopolitical contingencies
0:54:05 around this whole thing there’s
0:54:07 great work CSIS is the best think
0:54:08 tank in the world on this kind of
0:54:12 stuff and they showed us some data
0:54:14 something like 85 percent of Chinese
0:54:16 military assets are in the Taiwanese
0:54:19 strait they have been partnering with
0:54:22 Russia to do drills on how to drop
0:54:25 heavy equipment out of specially designed
0:54:28 parachutes from helicopters and you
0:54:31 know that this is this is moving in
0:54:33 another direction in another clear
0:54:36 direction here and you get you don’t
0:54:37 know when you don’t know how you don’t
0:54:38 know why and maybe it’s a quarantine
0:54:41 maybe it’s a blockade maybe it’s not a
0:54:43 full-out invasion but there are going to
0:54:46 be some challenging times for the West
0:54:50 within the next five years as it relates
0:54:53 to its almost exclusive reliance on
0:54:55 this you know NVIDIA ASML TSMC
0:54:57 partnership then in the fourth one is
0:54:58 the stuff we’ve been talking about
0:55:01 which is this kind of collective
0:55:05 metaverse moment where investors in
0:55:08 aggregate say like okay it’s not a
0:55:09 waste of money but the are we don’t we
0:55:11 can’t see the ROI we’re going to take
0:55:14 profits until we have a clearer vision
0:55:18 of of where this is going I’m still
0:55:20 digging through it there was a for every
0:55:22 good paper there’s a negative paper
0:55:24 right so that for every good paper on
0:55:26 AI adoption there was one that you should
0:55:28 read it it came from this group called
0:55:31 MIT Nanda N-A-N-D-A yeah the 95% one
0:55:34 yeah yeah like you know I read through the
0:55:37 details on that one that those are a lot
0:55:39 of companies that that kind of tried it
0:55:40 played around with it and said you know
0:55:41 what we’re just going to keep doing
0:55:43 things the way we’re doing it the other
0:55:46 thing that the outlook mentions there
0:55:48 are three forces that will define next
0:55:52 year’s market they are according to your
0:55:54 report AI we’ve discussed that I think
0:55:56 everyone understands that global
0:55:59 fragmentation and inflation describe
0:56:00 global fragmentation and inflation for
0:56:03 us let me just summarize by saying like
0:56:05 the Fed is is facing a peculiar fork in
0:56:07 the road here it’s not a violent
0:56:10 differential but there’s a meaningful
0:56:13 differential right now between we look at
0:56:15 the PMI surveys right the ISM and PMI
0:56:18 surveys of prices paid those are going up
0:56:21 the PMI surveys on labor they’re going
0:56:24 down right so what’s a federal reserve to
0:56:26 do when you have a dual mandate that are
0:56:27 going in opposite directions
0:56:31 historically the Fed has almost never cut
0:56:33 rates when prices paid surveys are going
0:56:35 up why would they right I mean you’d be
0:56:40 easing into an inflationary environment it
0:56:41 looks like they’re going to do that and
0:56:45 it’s a it’s a huge gamble the gamble is
0:56:47 that the inflationary increase is
0:56:49 tariff related and once it makes its way
0:56:51 through the system it will not ignite
0:56:53 some kind of wage price spiral and
0:56:54 inflation will be coming down by the
0:56:56 spring and the Fed will be vindicated but
0:56:59 that’s that’s a big bet and that’s the bet
0:57:01 that’s you know that we’re looking at as
0:57:03 we’re heading into you know the end of the
0:57:05 year and early next year and the markets
0:57:07 are pricing in a couple of cuts here
0:57:11 because of that I’m I’m less worried
0:57:14 about tariffs than immigration policy as
0:57:15 it relates to this stuff we’re talking
0:57:19 about I think the president is less
0:57:22 committed to some of these things than he
0:57:25 appears to be there they’re already
0:57:27 adding massive numbers of products to the
0:57:30 exemption list of tariffs so I think the
0:57:31 tariff stuff will turn out to be less
0:57:36 damaging but the the latest data from
0:57:39 the Fed is that 50,000 payroll growth is
0:57:42 is inflationary like the Nehru of
0:57:45 inflation for wages is 50,000 right so
0:57:48 they yeah they shut the border we all
0:57:50 understand what political forces they
0:57:52 were reacting to but the United States
0:57:55 needs people to grow and if if if you get
0:57:58 wage inflation at 50,000 payroll growth you
0:58:01 have a labor supply problem and so they’re
0:58:02 they’re gonna have to they’re gonna have
0:58:06 to make a change soon on that one or
0:58:08 else they’re gonna have bigger problems
0:58:11 yeah the report also says it says tariffs
0:58:13 are here to stay no matter what the
0:58:16 Supreme Court rules what are you thinking
0:58:18 about in terms of the Supreme Court ruling
0:58:20 on tariffs right now you know Gorsuch has
0:58:23 been kind of tilting is showing you I don’t
0:58:25 know the poker analogy because I don’t play I
0:58:28 don’t gamble but what whatever is it the
0:58:30 thing where you hold your cards and people
0:58:32 can see what you have or something I mean
0:58:34 he’s he’s been showing his cards a little
0:58:39 during during the hearing and I think he and
0:58:44 Barrett will side with the liberals and that
0:58:47 would reduce the effective tariff rate from
0:58:50 like 15 to 7 and then they would try to
0:58:52 replace two or three percent of them with
0:58:55 some other clauses but a bunch of them get
0:58:57 defanged and are not so easy to replace
0:58:59 do you think there might be a ruling where
0:59:01 they have to pay back the tariffs to the
0:59:03 companies the tariffs were imposed on I do
0:59:05 over some period of time and you know they
0:59:07 would make that as difficult as possible and
0:59:10 you know that it would be extremely messy
0:59:15 you know it would be you know think think
0:59:17 about the messiness of the PPP loans as
0:59:19 people started to kind of clean up after
0:59:22 them I mean it’s it’s it’s a messy thing to
0:59:25 do and of course the the doge people cut a
0:59:27 lot of the staffing as it relates to the
0:59:30 enforcement and tracking of this stuff so
0:59:31 one of the reasons the tariffs haven’t been
0:59:34 quite as much of an impact on the economy is a
0:59:36 lot of companies are recategorizing goods so
0:59:39 so that they fall under different tariff
0:59:41 buckets that they may not necessarily
0:59:44 supposed to apply to but if you’ve gutted
0:59:46 the enforcement of the people that look at
0:59:48 that then that’s what companies are going to
0:59:54 do so you know earlier in the year a lot of
0:59:56 people were trying to convince me that
1:00:00 there was this holistic vision that they
1:00:02 had about what they were trying to
1:00:06 accomplish and I’m I’m I’ve struggled with
1:00:08 that because I see too many policies that
1:00:10 conflict with each other like if you’re
1:00:11 really trying to attract foreign direct
1:00:15 investment why would you expel all of those
1:00:16 South Korean factory workers there’s just
1:00:20 too many policies that don’t seem to be
1:00:22 aligned with what the administration says
1:00:24 its goals are so which has given me less
1:00:26 confidence that that they that there’s a
1:00:30 a playlist here that is all adding up to some
1:00:33 big coherent grand vision you’ve got to work
1:00:37 over time to justify how it all makes sense and
1:00:40 how it all plays into a specific strategy and
1:00:43 then which leads you to believe okay that’s
1:00:46 not what’s happening this is this is policy
1:00:48 by tweets if you have time on the weekend and
1:00:51 you really want to you know read something
1:00:54 interesting the Washington Post had an
1:00:58 editorial recently from every single living
1:01:02 prior surgeon general about what they thought
1:01:06 about the leadership at HHS and uh I’m not
1:01:07 going to go into any more detail
1:01:12 check it out on our own time um just
1:01:15 final question for me Scott might have one
1:01:19 as well um we’ve talked about some kind of
1:01:21 concerning stuff on this podcast and you said
1:01:24 that you thought it was and correct me if
1:01:26 I’m wrong you thought it would be unlikely
1:01:29 to see some sort of profit taking event to
1:01:32 the tune of 10 to 12 to 15 percent next
1:01:34 year no that’s the one I thought was likely
1:01:37 I misspoke that’s what I meant that is a
1:01:39 likely scenario you that’s almost your base
1:01:42 case for next year and perhaps there is a
1:01:46 more shocking event like 40 percent but
1:01:47 you’re thinking you know you’re going to
1:01:50 see 10 12 15 percent correction um for for
1:01:53 someone who has kind of a regular portfolio a
1:01:56 regular investor who is you know dollar cost
1:01:58 averaging into the market into the S&P they’ve
1:02:01 been doing that for a few years maybe they
1:02:03 haven’t looked at bonds too closely in the
1:02:06 past what is your general advice for those
1:02:10 people going into 2026 how should they think
1:02:12 about their portfolio and how should they
1:02:14 invest right now well you know based on what
1:02:16 we’ve just discussed it would make sense to
1:02:20 start accumulating some dry powder to take
1:02:22 advantage of whatever opportunities may
1:02:24 exist a lot of times when you get sell-offs
1:02:26 like that a bunch of things sell off all of a
1:02:30 sudden you start seeing industrial and
1:02:32 utility preferred stock sell off two to three
1:02:35 points which is can be the equivalent of 50 60 80
1:02:40 basis points so you know um having having some
1:02:45 spare cash and and and credit to be able to
1:02:46 draw on when these things happen can be
1:02:49 helpful um a lot of these things tend to be
1:02:52 very v-shaped right if you look back at almost
1:02:54 every single one of these corrections including
1:02:56 the one that happened last year there’s this
1:03:00 rapid violent unwinding of risk uh i think a
1:03:03 lot of the hedge fund the big risk parity funds
1:03:06 are kind of um partially responsible for that but
1:03:09 then it tends to snap back where it comes back
1:03:11 roughly at the same speed at which it declined
1:03:15 in in that regard individual investors have an
1:03:17 advantage over some of the large institutional
1:03:19 investors i mean the average the average
1:03:21 endowment or foundation meets quarterly
1:03:24 they’re they’re not even set up to respond to
1:03:27 some of these things yeah so um i think it’s you
1:03:30 know in retail investors have at least the
1:03:32 flexibility to try to act when these things
1:03:35 happen make the bull case for 2026
1:03:38 you start seeing more concrete evidence of
1:03:44 of ai adoption that companies are willing to pay
1:03:51 for and you you start seeing productivity benefits
1:03:53 that are based equally on revenues and not
1:03:57 entirely on the backs of lower rates of hiring
1:04:05 um china starts to cut back on its excess production policy they announced this
1:04:10 involution campaign a few months ago that’s designed to make chinese companies
1:04:13 more profitable by telling them to stop overproducing i’ll believe it when i see
1:04:20 it um you get fiscal stimulus in europe in part because trump is basically forcing
1:04:23 them to defend themselves uh another policy that i think is long
1:04:29 overdue um europe agreed in 2006 to spend two percent of gdp on defense and it took them until
1:04:37 2021 to finally get there and uh so you’re starting to see more defense spending in europe which is
1:05:07 stimulative and um and then in the us the fed is vindicated where inflation starts to roll over aided and abetted by an enormous amount of multi-family and single-family real estate supply uh pushing down housing-related inflation and and the administration figures out through some combination of relaxation in certain regulations and things like that
1:05:18 to to to ramp up u.s oil and gas production so energy prices come down so that’s that’s kind of your your bold case

1:06:17 ed what’d you think uh i thought i was very he knows everything which is so it’s so helpful um i mean he’s kind of overseeing
1:06:24 one of the largest portfolios in terms of aum in the world so i mean he’s got so much data
1:06:35 um i i’m i think i agree with him on pretty much everything he said i mean our reactions to aswell’s interview i thought it was really striking but
1:06:42 i didn’t feel quite as bearish um as as professor de modem was when we interviewed him i feel like
1:06:47 michael’s sentiment is more where i’m at right now in terms of valuations
1:06:50 um where i’m kind of expecting
1:06:53 some sort of correction but not something that is kind of
1:06:57 gonna cause a major major crisis
1:07:02 so yeah i thought that was informative made me feel
1:07:08 maybe a little better i think he’s very measured because he the last thing he wants to do is spook
1:07:13 you know the two trillion dollars in value or in assets they oversee but he sounded
1:07:21 he sounded measured and a little bit i don’t want to say nervous but and i might be it might be just
1:07:25 confirmation bias but whether it’s sam altman or alex kirk getting defensive or demotering
1:07:31 saying aswath is the least panicked person i’ve ever met
1:07:36 and and then michael sort of michael seems
1:07:38 really measured
1:07:41 not to a fault but really measured like
1:07:45 okay i don’t want to i don’t want to spook all the capital i oversee but
1:07:47 i’m having a tough time
1:07:49 defending this market
1:07:55 um and i think part of the reason he’s in the position he is is this guy is just
1:07:58 he’s very measured he just doesn’t scare easily right but
1:08:00 i don’t know it
1:08:03 and again i i can’t figure i can’t suss out
1:08:07 like when i hate everyone around me i know it’s my depression
1:08:15 like when i literally hate everybody um i know it’s my depression speaking and i’m pretty convinced
1:08:18 now we’re in for a serious pretty rocky road in the next 12 months
1:08:26 and i can’t i can’t suss out my old man boomer anger from the actual data but the data i just think looks
1:08:32 i think if the market goes down 40 percent if the nasdaq goes down 40 percent in the next 90 days or 100
1:08:34 we’re going to be like well of course it fucking did
1:08:39 i think it’s going to be like the most obvious thing in the rearview mirror that it happens so
1:08:43 but anyways back to michael i i like him because he’s measured and just
1:08:47 i like that he pauses and thinks about questions he wants to answer them
1:08:49 answer them correctly
1:08:52 i appreciate that too yeah and and you know
1:08:55 what he said foots with what you’re saying i think he
1:09:00 he is anxious and kind of expressed that i mean he said that his base case
1:09:03 is a 10 to 12 to 15 percent correction which is
1:09:08 kind of a big deal in and of itself i mean the question is do you think it’s going to be like that
1:09:14 or do you think it’s going to be 40 which again he didn’t rule out he said that it was unlikely he
1:09:20 doesn’t think it’s going to happen but he didn’t fully rule it out i think that the the part that
1:09:27 he’s gotten right is that there is crazy amounts of leverage and debt that’s being accumulated but
1:09:34 only in certain contained spaces so he mentioned oracle i’ve talked about how open ai they haven’t
1:09:40 gotten there yet but they’re gonna have to raise huge amounts of debt in order to support the amount
1:09:47 of um ai that they want to build and spend on over the next few years uh he mentioned blue owl and the
1:09:54 idea that meta is raising debt but using these spvs to sort of protect themselves so i think where he’s
1:10:01 probably right is that the debt and the leverage that we’re seeing isn’t quite as systemic as we’ve seen
1:10:07 in previous crises which is probably going to be a good thing it means that whatever correction we see
1:10:14 is going to be at least more contained than it has been in previous crises i think that’s quite a a sound
1:10:21 analysis the question then becomes well how much more debt are we going to see in the pipeline i mean
1:10:27 is it just oracle or are we going to start seeing crazy amounts of debt from amazon and microsoft and
1:10:34 meta are they going to ramp it up um that that that’s sort of the next question but in terms of
1:10:41 his views on like what the implosion will look like um i think i think he’s pretty spot on
