00:00 What is going to be that catalyst for rates to settle down?
00:02 We've got just craziness happening around the world.
00:05 I mean, if you took a look at the UK 30-year guilt,
00:08 we hit levels that we have not seen since 1998.
00:12 What is going on in fixed income broadly is just unprecedented.
00:17 Yeah, and again, we keep hearing this expression
00:20 by people who kind of get some of this macro stuff
00:22 better than we do, that something's about to break.
00:24 And if you look at what's going on in basically the British town,
00:27 we've been talking about what's going on with the euro.
00:30 The 20-year took 20 years, the BOJ intervention there with the yen.
00:34 I mean, there's things going on here where stock markets are just
00:37 kind of a pawn here.
00:38 And we're sitting here trying to find out individual names.
00:41 And really, it comes down to--
00:43 Mike Wilson, who comes on the show a lot from Morgan Stanley,
00:45 he just took down his S&P estimates.
00:47 And per facset, they're coming down year over year.
00:50 I think 9% growth was expected.
00:52 Now consensus is about 7.5%.
00:54 You tell me what the right multiple is
00:56 in a recessionary environment that we have not even
00:58 hit the recession yet, and we're going
01:00 to be in a profits recession.
01:01 I don't know.
01:02 You want to put 14?
01:03 You want to put 15 times?
01:04 He's got $2 in earnings for next year.
01:08 You put 14 on that, and you get below 3,200.
01:11 It's not far from Guy's level here.
01:13 So again, nothing's going to go in a straight line.
01:15 And the C word is a dangerous word, especially this time of year.
01:19 I just don't think we go down there like that.
01:21 Well, the crash.
01:22 I mean, I just--
01:22 I didn't know where it was going, but I got it.
01:26 You made me say it.
01:27 I didn't want to say it.
01:28 I don't want the headline to be that.
01:30 But my point is it is one step forward, two steps back
01:32 in bear markets like this.
01:34 And that's clearly what we're in.
01:35 Well, the C word could also be double C or C squared
01:38 or constant currency.
01:39 And all we hear about is the dollar.
01:40 But what we haven't heard about even in mega cap tech
01:43 is in constant currency terms, where they're going to cut.
01:46 In other words, we know the dollar has been a beast
01:49 and is certainly a major headwind.
01:50 And I think that at some point it becomes a tailwind.
01:54 The dollar is so overbought.
01:55 It doesn't mean it can't go further, especially based
01:57 upon what's going on with the differentials in policy.
02:00 But I haven't heard talk of budget cuts
02:03 as it relates to enterprise or CapEx or software.
02:06 That hasn't flowed through from any of the mega cap tech
02:08 companies.
02:09 And again, forget the dollar.
02:10 How about constant currency?
02:11 How about some of these companies
02:13 that really have been the lifeblood of this move?
02:16 Again, Apple's outperformed the S&P by 175%
02:19 over the last five years.
02:21 It's clearly been a major boost to the entire marketplace.
02:25 And I just don't think those comps-- things we can hold up.
