6:07 am
investors. the key thing i'm going to look at is, how does money flow through the bond market? our bond investors willing to take capital losses? will they start to move their money elsewhere? there is been a steady march in the corporate market for many months in several years as rates have progressively come lower. the reversal of that money will have major locations. tom: have you ever seen a bond bear market? the answer is, no. i would respect those suggest they could be uglier than an equity bear market. george: absolutely. the volumes of money at stake are huge. the shift as application for investors as well as companies. companies have become highly dependent on very cheap funding. corporate america has been borrowing like mad. they've sued of a -- significant coming due. major shifts across capital
6:08 am
markets. some investors are prepared for it. there are spots to focus on. there are certain pockets of value. olivia: where is the opportunity and credit right now? >> if you look within high yield, there are little pockets of value. i said we want to stay geared to the companies will do well as bond yields move higher. you want to stay closer to the front end of curves. long duration positions long maturity bonds are going to be highly price sensitive. tom: we will talk about the broader audience later in the hour. what does the pro-audience do? they can't go to cash. they have actuarial responsibilities. you say go short duration. they can't, can they? george: they can selectively. it is about how you position your portfolio. institutional investors do need the duration. i would say they can pick spots around the world, as you point out staying in u.s. corporate bonds is a long end of the curve
6:09 am
makes much more sense than going into german -- tom: where are you on the u.s. 10 year? yellen, fed meeting, bank of japan, what does wells fargo call? george: 250 by the end of the air. still up a little bit from here. that has meaningful obligations. that means some capital losses are likely. tom: apple computer considering i believe with the roadshow on may 7, get in yen and the working interest rate is 0.47%. way under. olivia: why would they take the tax hit? why not just borrow and pay back? tom: is that lemmings over the cliff? as every cfo going to have to do a bond deal? george: they have been doing that for the past couple of years. we laud -- we have had over a trillion dollars in the past couple of years. we on track once again for that this year. the key to the corporate
6:10 am
activity is kind of the rate at which companies are borrowing. pressure point is going to sort of coincide with a very sharp increase in borrowing demands for corporate america. that has meaningful implications. i don't think that goes away. prices are starting to come down. yet the makings of a meaningful volatility shock. olivia: chevron earnings are out later this morning. we were word a couple of months ago about a big spread in high guilty energy. have we seen that happen? george: it has had a nice recovery since the beginning of the air. on crisis at craft a little higher. credit spreads have tightened as energy prices have risen. over the last couple of weeks, the markets kind of stalled out a little bit. i think we are fairly valued and bond investors are waiting -- they were waiting for earnings. they wanted to see how balance sheets responded.

6:34 am

6:36 am
the housing market. olivia: barbara corcoran told me to write a handwritten note to the seller if they would please sell me the apartment. how do you position your self? tom: --george: the risk you lose money to capital loss upon yields go higher, bond yields are low, but they are staying low. we try and set up a little bit of a barbell, whether it is along the curve -- maybe a little bit of money at the long end, but pretty cautious. much more bias for the front of the curve. credit rating sensitivity. if you look at april, investment grade bonds turn to negative have percent. high-yield bonds were up 1.3%. tom: should our institutional and mom-and-pop audience here at "bloomberg surveillance" should they try to buy a yield from apple or whomever of 1.5% or have a percent? those are extremely low yields.
6:37 am
i'm going to get crushed a fields go higher. george: if yields go higher tomorrow, you will. the fed has been very clear, and i think they're very intent on allowing the market to slowly move higher. i think that is quickly important. with the bond, you may absorb initial capital loss, but you earn it back through time as you get coupons, as you get income. when bond yields are low, it takes a long time to earn it back. tom: did he get the talk we don't talk guilty maturity on fridays? -- yield maturity on fridays? continue. olivia: euclidean march. tom: simple rules, great book. olivia: "avengers" set to break weekend records.

doom crew as well. let's look at one of the blowups of the week. william cohan has written brilliantly on wall street and has a thing out in "the atlantic" right now out on wall street. once again, all the whispers of 1999, 2000, the highfliers, the people getting crushed -- i don't mean facebook. linkedin twitter, yelp. what an ugly week. william: the trifecta. tom: talking about the derby. william: i think it is healthy, it is long overdue. people have such shorter members about this stuff. it mystifies me everything up and yet it happens repeatedly. the evaluations get way ahead of themselves ahead of anything resembling earnings. it is different than it was in 1999 and 2000. tom: it is different than it was and i go back to the famous
7:06 am
thing about excel and sandwiches and deciding futurist at goldman sachs or whatever that story was. nobody out there had the humility. everybody near wall street has been hampered, and they felt like they played by different labor. bill: everybody feels that this time will be different. once again -- we were talking about it yesterday too. the interesting thing of the expectations game, earnings analysts, whether you make it or not i thought we were done with that scenario from a few years ago but it seems like that is happening again. analysts expect you to make a certain amount of earnings and if you don't, your stock gets hammered. that is a different issue than the fact that the stock is way overpriced. olivia: the penny finally dropped with linkedin because this is the first time anything really disappointing has come in from linked in. tom: fair, unfair. -- fair fair.
7:07 am
olivia: and they did still be the forecast. changing of the tune. tom: but they take a dollar and it becomes $.14 down the income statement at the ebitda line. bill: which isn't terrible. there are worse businesses than that. but the evaluations are so high and the expectations are so high it does not make much sense at all to expect them to achieve these things. again, yesterday we were talking to john bogle here and he was saying that the stock market is really, frankly, a distraction right? what really stops discount is future cash flows that these companies generate and the ups and downs of the stock market are a distraction. i think he is quite right about that. on the other hand, people get carried away with these bunnies. these -- these companies did these wall street ipo hype
7:08 am
machines -- tom: ms. olivia stern's guilty of hyping -- is olivia sterns guilty of hyping? olivia: and i guilty of hyping? tom: we are all in this hype business and get howard. -- hammer. bill: no question that 24 hour business news plays a role. but the wall street ipo machine is designed to hype these ipos. tom: do we blame bob right felt this morning? he is affecting transactions. olivia: the story is clearly a change in sentiment. it was a bad week for apple. we saw a big selloffs in biotech stocks. pause in the dollar rally risk on for oil, reversal in bonds. tom: from where you sit, where his twitter's strategic model
7:09 am
where they manage for takeout? bill: i think the latter, the only thing that makes sense to me. i use it, i enjoy it, i learned a lot. i used to say couple years ago that i would look at it and find one thing a day. now there is lots of things every day, every hour, that i enjoy finding out about twitter. but again, the price is overhyped. tom: linkedin is $.14 on the dollar. twitter is a -23% -- bill: how do they make money? the eyeball field. remember when people used to talk about "just give us the eyeballs and we will turn that into cash somehow, trust us"? olivia: everybody says the difference between nasdaq then and today is that the copies are making money and are more mature. tom: yeah, but twitter -- you know i am sobered by linkedin. olivia: we should bring in the

"bloomberg surveillance." i am tom keene. watching ben bernanke walk out of the hotel. he looked tanned and rested. olivia: i'm surprised, because he is a busy man. he has a new gig at citadel and he is blocking for brookings. -- blogging for brookings. "the wall street journal" editorial page -- "fails to note
7:13 am
that the fomc has been too optimistic about growth they've been consistently too pessimistic about unemployment." he says that "the wall street journal" has to be forecasts breakout inflation and that hasn't happened yet. tom: i have yet to read his wonderful blog on john taylor of stanford. if david wessel arranges this at brookings -- ben bernanke's doing a public service with his blog. really cool. olivia: what do you make of this though? tom: i think it is valid criticism and it is great that he pushes back to bill cohan, you know this so well. it is so easy to criticize and game in and is is another thing to do this and bright lights. bill: part of the reason he's feeling tanned and rested is
7:14 am
he's feeling prosperous for the present in his whole career, because he went from academia to making some money. people in the know are reading his blog and commenting on it, on twitter. i don't know if they are doing it on linked in. good for him. olivia: it must be refreshing for the man. he had to be so apolitical and so guarded in his wording. now he is swinging against the left taking out larry summers swinging against the right taking out the "wall street" editorial page. tom: people say it is a crime, $200,000 a speech. i'm like, baloney. they have to make some money for the families. olivia: so they can afford to go to the mayweather-pacquiao five. bill: so much criticism of the revolving door. he served his time in academia and then and government service.
7:15 am
he should come exactly, be allowed to make a living. tom: i'm so glad you brought up the blog. i have to read the taylor piece. it has math in it. professor bernanke on the dynamics of the taelor function. coming up, i must watch and listen for all of you worried about austrian economics. the president of merck investments on the dollar stronger. olivia sterns and tom keene with the government.

7:19 am
from iranian ships. it is being adopted to in response to what washington views as provocative behavior. a compromise gop budget promises to speed up the repeal of the health care law and would give the pentagon and next to $30 billion next year. it promises to balance the budget in nine years with more than $5 trillion in spending cuts. the nonbinding plan heads to the senate next week. president obama's choosing his adopted hometown for his presidential library get it will be built on the south side of chicago. the university of chicago has identified two possible sites near the obama family home. an official announcement is expected within a few weeks. on the subject of libraries the president was at an event in washington with a student moderator and try to answer a question about writer's block of the 12-year-old middle school moderator thought the president was being a little bit wordy, so he told the leader of the free world to move it along.
7:20 am
president obama: listen, even the best writers -- usually it is not that good the first time they write it. >> i think we have covered every thing about that question. president obama: think i've been talking too long. no, let's move it along, i got you. olivia: the president spoke to the students about early reading habits and his post-presidency plans and his facility with digital media. tom, if i ever tried to move you along. tom: no that was fantastic and it shows the timing of our president. here we go. when you are right, you are very right. when you are wrong, it is ugly. recently, merk investments president and chief investment officer axel merk has been crushed on that dollar. mr. merk joins us battle scarred in search of ascendant asian
7:21 am
currencies. after your total class act, everyone will go hide under the desk. when you look at the currency and people believe in it ever weaker dollar, the trend has been in your favor. if you had a structurally wrong call we look to a reversal back to a weaker dollar. axel: we all know the mess of the euro zone. i called mario draghi convincingly irrational. everybody thinks everything is going to hell in europe, everything is great in the u.s. the reality is more grayish. we do have to have a rebalancing of that. especially outside the euro zone, they are so scared of the euro weakening that they pulled out all the stops and they will have to backpedal on that. tom: your expertise is to go away from the main story -- europe, greece, all that -- and look at the swedish krona or for that matter, and ascend in asia. we see mr. abe coming.
7:22 am
those currencies with their good gdps have to get stronger versus the u.s. dollar. axel: but there is this misperception that the gdp automatically translates into good currency. that is one of the big myths out there. take the japanese yen. the better the game was historically, it is gradually changing. those dynamics tend to change a little bit. japan is a very interesting story recently because the future of japan is impossible. the worst thing that can happen to japan and many countries in the world's economic growth because then bonds will fall and it would be impossible -- olivia: did you hear that, the worst thing that could happen to japan is actual economic growth. obviously, a big story of what is happening to the dollar is the taper. axel: now as we might -- god for bid -- it doesn't mean the dollar always has to benefit when risk is off.
7:23 am
the euro has become a funding currency. when risk is off, people do lever and the euro snaps back. it is just difficult to induce inflation in the eurozone and difficult to weaken it. yes, europe is a mess and will always be a mess. the context is what price. people are completely overboard in a negativity on the euro silly because europe will be there. olivia: we are not going to parity? axel: the europeans look at headline inflation and the excuse is to get the excuses to print more money will be difficult to come by. olivia: we made it through the whole 7:00 hour and still haven't mentioned greece. axel: greece is irrelevant. financial institutions don't hold greek debt anymore. it a survey politics. -- it is great politics. bill: i love the saying the word
7:24 am
"grexit" though. it drives me crazy. do you ever since happening again? -- ever see this happening again? axel: never say never again. but it is so damn difficult. the only thing it does, it helps -- the weaker euro helps germany. it gets more tourism into the periphery but other than that the weaker currency -- olivia: the numbers out of europe are surprising could even though it is your early, the chief euro is having an impact. we are a week away from elections in the u.k. axel: the markets are a bit out there. volatility is up a little bit. ultimately, people don't expect much from it. the u.k. has had wins and it is not the elections that will cause problems. tom: axel merk thanks so much. futures up seven. the euro-dollar going in the axel merk fashion.

7:35 am
can make without risking your own capital. that is flat-out true, it has been true for a long time, ever since these firms went public. now, once upon a time, the most money you can make would be at lazar morgan stanley. nowadays, hedge funds or private equity is where you make the big money. olivia: is low pay -- i should say lower pay -- bill: let's be clear libya they're making more money on wall street than anything they could do risking their own money. olivia: it was down from $5,000 -- bill: that's a lot of money. olivia: ton of money. is this lower pay? bill: absolutely. lower pay is the new normal on wall street. the only way they can make a difference -- compensation used to be 50, 60%. now it is 30, 40% of revenue.

7:43 am
tom: i am not a fan of esther m - mr. musk. i think it is brilliant, what he is doing. he is really onto something. bettty: there are several unanswered questions from what we saw last night. i've been to several of these tesla unveilings. it is like a rock concert. it was exactly the same last night. similar to the media reports ahead of time. there are basically two kinds of batteries, one for consumer and commercial use, which is to store power in these batteries. he says in your home it will look like a piece of art. it has to bring that steve jobs-esque flavor. olivia: it is an upright battery, i guess it is called the powerwall. betty: yeah, i don't know.
7:44 am
it is our. you can interpret it however you want. we have someone who used to work at ge and spent eight years there and spearheaded the fuel-cell operation. he knows a lot about this as well. elon bracket was $3500, the cost. well, i mean, almost affordable. however, that is only part of the actual cost of putting this into your home. there is the infrastructure labor. it is going to cost a lot more. the other thing is how much business demand is there for this. third is where was solar city in the whole conversation yesterday? he is chairman of this company and presumably they would be benefiting the most from something like this. olivia: great question.
7:45 am
i didn't think about that. not a peak about solar city. be sure to watch betty liu on "in the loop." lots of questions about these new powerwalls from elon musk. betty: got to get the bikini body for the summer. tom: i'm looking for that, too. olivia: this is "bloomberg surveillance" on bloomberg television.

7:50 am
huge sports "surveillance" weekend. we may also be going to "the avengers." it started yesterday with the nfl draft and jameis winston getting picked by the buccaneers. tonight, yankees versus the red sox. yankees are going to beat the red sox. then it is the kentucky derby and the much-anticipated mayweather-pacquiao fight in vegas could and then on sunday it is the world golf championship, if you are still watching golf. 52% of adults say they plan to watch, listen, or attend at least one of those events. oh, my goodness. so much going on. joining us is our bloomberg sports reporter. the fight of the century, mayweather versus pacquiao. >> i'm looking at the business numbers, and they are huge. the most lucrative fight in boxing history.
7:51 am
$300 million is the conservative estimate. folks in the industry never thought they would see numbers like that ever. but it has captured the minds of sports fans, both standard boxing consumers and elite consumers. tom: what is the risk it goes two rounds? eben: that is pretty much the worst nightmare for sponsors. tom: what is the risk of that? eben: highly unlikely. neither of them knockout opponents with any regularity. tom: i thought mayweather had a dozen knockouts or something. eben: that was early in his career. the only person he has knocked out in the last 10 years is a guy with hands-down apologizing. tom: are these guys old? eben: they are. eben:farah the tail end of their career. we have been talking about this fight for six years and it would've been a better fight six years ago. olivia: is this the last big fight we would hear about? eben: this is pretty much the last gasp in the boxing world.
7:52 am
it happens to be that the two most compelling fighters in the same weight class -- tom: horse racing and boxing, i guess they are on an ebb. practice and the belmont -- did that happen last year? eben: horse racing is one of those sports that is very niche but very competitive. $300,000 for every child he rears and he sires 150 a year. do the math from over $40 million he is bringing in. olivia: bill cohan, you bet on derby? tom: are you into the horse race? bill: no i'm afraid not. i watch it, greatest two minutes in sports or whatever. tom: how do they get bill cohan and i to lean forward in horse racing? eben: it starts with getting the
7:53 am
triple crown and the possibility of that attracts people to the belmont. if that happens it brings in -- olivia: a few reasons this weekend might be more interesting. there are four horses in this race that are undefeated and there is not been a triple crown winner in 37 years. tom: the ulysses that mr. mayweather and mr. pacquiao will be like american pharaoh and retire? olivia: do you know that mayweather makes more money than cristiano ronaldo? eben: he will make $80 million in this fight alone. tom: is this the last fight? eben: i highly doubt that. mayweather has two fights left on his contract and is probably done after that. tom: i believe a-rod hit the ball into the field, meaning he is hitting. he is doing it. bill: but the yankees are
7:54 am
downplaying the potential passing of the willie mays record. their incentive is to downplay it. tom: is a-rod out of the timeout chair? he will always be in the timeout chair for some. tom: you're kidding. olivia: what makes the red sox have a chance? bill: better management, better tradition. olivia: um, tom. hockey, what happened late last night? tom: great game. eben, i differ to you on this. the islanders-capitals game. the capitals have to hit the rangers to win this series. eben: absolutely. it is physical, and in hockey you usually see that from the team that is not as talented they get more physical. the game last night was fantastic as well. hard to deny alexander -- tom: when do they go to las vegas with the franchise? eben: they are currently looking
7:55 am
at it. questions on how viable that market is, especially -- bill: how about the clippers' first game and the pictures of steve ballmer's face were incredible? olivia: a lot going on. our twitter question of the day. what do you think you can make some money? "always bet on the underdog. i'm going with pacquiao." " my money is on mayweather. pacquiao is going down in one." tom: who is going to win? eben: put your money on mayweather. undefeated, looked better recently. tom: we continue? olivia: "whatever happens, they will be through draft. kings." tom: that is the new technology. eben: fantasy sports of the future. you pick players and get point
7:56 am
