apply capital controls. finally a bear market. china stocks plunge. stock market it evaporates. and uber gets no love in paris. uber is beneath hollande. courtney leave had to get out and walk. this is "surveillance." we're live from our headquarters in new york this friday, june 26. right now we have breaking news. it's not on paris, but again in france, and it involves a terror attack. help me out here. this is very much southeast of paris, south of lyon toward glen obal. it's down to the mediterranean sea, and it's somewhere here in a smaller village southeast of lyon. >> exactly. not too far from the swiss border. it may have been some kind of terror attack. one person has been found decapitated and some injured, and there was an explosion. lemond's twitter feed is
6:01 am
actually saying the anti-terror squad is taking over the investigation, so we're going to continue to follow those headlines as they come out. tom: this is just out moments ago, and we'll have much more for you. let's move toward with sursur this morning and we'll go back here with our headlines is vonnie quinn. vonnie: tom, in other news, the leaders of the eurozone countries have a message for their finance ministers, get the greek debt deal done by saturday. hopes were raise and had then dashed yesterday by greek prime minister. he has a new set of proposals, but he pushed back when creditors demanded more cuts. the greek finance minister says both plans are still in play. >> several colleagues disagreed and criticized. we decided at the euro group that we shall continue our operations. you have to look again at the two documents, our documents
6:02 am
and their own. vonnie: the finance machinester will meet tomorrow for the fifth time in a week. the bailout expires tuesday, the same day greece must make a loan payment to the i.m.f. president bush will be in charleston, south carolina today to eulogize the minister killed in last week's church massacre. he was also a state senator and an early obama supporter. earlier this week, colleagues gathered at the state capitol, where his body was lying in state. after opposing obamacare the supreme court has only five decisions left to announce before ajourning for the summer, and those rulings are expected today or next week. the biggest, the right of same-sex couples to marry. four states have asked them to uphold bans on same-sex marriage. the court will also decide a case on using lethal injectionless for the death penalty. there's growing concern that the bull market has peaked in china. chinese stocks stumbled today. the shanghai composite suffered its biggest loss in five
6:03 am
months. and in a note today, morgan stanley urged clients not to buy shares in mainland companies. the report said the top of the chinese market may have peaked. tom: very good. breaking news from france, as we january, terrorist attack this time very much south of paris. in paris is our greg, who has decades of coverage of his nation of france. greg, again, terrorism, and certainly linked within the piece, as sketchy reports are linked to some form of arab flags and isis paraphernalia. why does this happen in france and how will the nation react after what was witnessed in january? greg: first, it's not just france, we've had it in britain, denmark and other countries, too. there is a tiny, tiny section of the french muslim population, the disaffected young men, not just muslims,
6:04 am
not just arab immigrants some of them are converts, but there is a sort of young angry rebellious fringe to young muslims in france, and these things happen now and again t. wasn't just in april. there were some follow-up attacks. there were much smaller things, knife attacks on a policeman here, an attempt to knife some soldiers that were guarding a synagogue a few months ago. details are sketchy on this one, but it does seem it was a man who drove into an industrial plant, attempted to set off an explosion. he had some kind of a flag with him that had arabic inscription on it. >> the company is air products. i'm looking on the terminal. they're based in allentown. there's also a picture of that plant. vonnie: exactly it's air products an english title. greg, what do we know about the politics of this region? we want to be very careful
6:05 am
before we say no. we know the anti-terror squad has taken over the region, but the politics of this region, which way is it skewing? greg: nothing in particular except you've got two nearby towns that both have their fair share of suburbs. the poor people live outside the town. they both have some fairly bad neighborhoods, where some young men have gone to leave, to join with islamic state and syria. otherwise i wouldn't say this area stands out from any other area in france. tom: thank you very much. again, french television picking up some of the coverage. this is just breaking between lyon and grenole, you remember that from the olympics. this is far southeast of paris. we will be covering this, of course worldwide through the
6:06 am
morning, just breaking, a terrorist attack southeast of paris this morning. we need to turn to brussels, where the news simply does not end. ring fence it's a term from the first crisis of 2007, and then i heard it again used with lehman brothers in early 2009, and now we are ring fencing greece. if key saturday meetings fail, europe may ring fence greece. well, time is pressing according to chancellor merkel. hans nichol social security ring fenced in brussels throughout the week. what will occur today, and how do you and the rest of brussels get to saturday evening? hans: how we get to saturday evening is easy, and that's caffeine and a lot of it. the summit ended last night at 3:00 a.m., and they weren't even talking greece. they stopped talking greece in the middle of the evening because there simply wasn't any progress. what has to happen today is they have to merge these two documents. they have to take the greece documents, the greece proposal
6:07 am
and what the creditors are offering, and try to meld them. it could be a cut and paste operation, it could be back and forth. that document whatever melded document they have, that will be the negotiations, the basis for negotiations to start saturday night at 5:00 p.m. i don't know why they don't meet here in the afternoon, because they know they're going late but maybe that's why they do. tom: i hear mixed reports, hans, the banks won't open. i don't want to report that as a fact. the idea of capital controls, even peter in the f.t. talking up humanitarian aid. what would you presume will be the outcome for monday? hans: a good outcome is there's a vote in the athens parliament, passes, and then it goes to vote for tuesday, and that's the deadline. a bad outcome would be there's no agreement, there's recriminations, and you see a real run on the banks, and see the european central bank not extend emergency liquidity assistance. just moments ago, they did
6:08 am
extend, or they made the request, the greece banks made, and it was unchanged. it doesn't look like there's been a lot of capital flight out of the greek banks. in general the request matches the outflow. a bad outcome would be sunday, no deal here in brussels, and then in athens we have it. even if you did agreement here on sunday, guys, it's no sure thing that it will pass the parliament. that's one of the things we've been hearing about the meetings yesterday, was that he's asking his colleagues how do they think with their proposing can pass a parliament in athens. tom: we've got our first dumb headline of the morning for sursur. -- for "bloomberg surveillance." greece doesn't understand creditors. >> the german chancellor reportedly told tsiprias over dinner to shut up. what is her role in driving this towards a conclusion right now?
6:09 am
hans: i would not disparage another news organization's reporting, but that doesn't quite seem with the angela merkel i know. what we know happened is he tried to bring up greece last night, but the dutch finance minister cut him off and said no, we're here to give a progress report, but we're not going to open up negotiations here at this leaders summit. that needs to be done by the finance ministers. they got to figure out primary budget surplus, make sure it adds up, and the leaders didn't want to get caught up in that. i would be suspect of that report, but who knows? maybe she said it. i don't know. >> well, less important than what she said is what she's doing to force a decision. is she driving it forward to get something out of this weekend? hans: you look at what she's been saying. in the past there's been a slight rhetorical difference between what she says, where
6:10 am
there's a will there's a way, and what her finance minister says, hey, we appear to be going backwards. yesterday the chancellor seemed to be mimicking her finance minister, and that was an important rhetorical shift, because not to say that that means she's throwing in the towel, but she may be more on her finance minister's side, that is that greece is unwilling to compromise and there's not a whole lot of benefit for her to continue to stretch out her hand. tom: hans nichols, thank you so much this morning. the breaking news, we haven't given it enough time in this first moment of "bloomberg surveillance," to daniel, senior investment strategist at bank of america merrill lynch, doing razor sharp analysis of equity markets. i'll be direct for the moment here and we'll talk about this later. you think this market is richly valued. what did the uber bulls get wrong? daniel: if you look at any evaluation metric you have, i'd be hard-pressed to find any trading below the averages. i'm very sympathetic to the idea that valuations are a
6:11 am
little bit high relative to history, but when you boil it down and do the math on what that implies for future returns, first of all, it complies nothing the next couple of years. if you look at the historical regression between valuation returns, it's almost zero over the first year or two. so really, it's telling a lot about long-term returns, and what it means is that you're going to see lower than average returns. tom: this is the first day where china has my attention. we've got a genuine all-american bear market in china. does that rebound over to the united states and our equity markets? dan: i don't think it does. you've definitely seeing a decoupling of these markets, so you've seen a skyrocket in china. you haven't seen the skyrocket in the u.s. i'd be hard-pressed to think this correction is going to flow through to the u.s., and it hasn't so far, right? we're at all-time highs. tom: much more to talk about in this hour. brendan: coming up, a decision yesterday on affordable care
6:12 am
act. right after that healthcare stocks rallied after a key component of that act was upheld. will the positive momentum in the industry last? are they now trading on fundamentals again? we will look at that next. this is "bloomberg surveillance." ♪
6:13 am
6:14 am
tom: futures flat, flat, flat this morning. here's vonnie quinn. vonnie: in southeast alaska, a plane carrying sightseers from a cruise ship has crashed into a cliff. all nine people on board were killed. the crash occurred at a lake about 800 miles southeast of anchorage. the passengers hobb a cruise the holland america ship.
6:15 am
air bnb could push the company's valuation to $24 billion. financing has been driven by investment firms in both the u.s. and china. the company expects to bring in $1.5 billion. if it succeeds, that would match facebook as the biggest investor round for a private tech company. the popularity of the home rental service is increasing quick until china. in california, a controversial plan to require nearly all public schoolchildren be vaccinated has pass aid major hurdle. protesters demonstrated outside as the state assembly approved the plan. it struck down the state's personal belief exemption. the state senate has passed a similar bill. supporters say california needs a boost to vaccination rates after an outbreak of measles. we're following the news out of france. paris cac is down about half a percent, where it had been as we know one person has been found decapitated outside air products a facility close to grenoble in the southeast.
6:16 am
brendan: yesterday the supreme court hospitalers and stocks jumped on the news. we have with us right now on the desk, jason from bloomberg intelligence. you know, i'm looking at a note right now from christine arnold at cowen and she describes what happened yesterday as a sigh of relief. had this been priced in, or was this unexpected good news? jason: yeah, definitely hadn't been priced in, brendan, and i think the reason was there was so much uncertainty in terms behalf the supreme court would do. so the stocks are trading up new where from 8% to 15%, and folks figured that there was consensus that it would be a positive decision, but it just wasn't clear how much that would be interpreted. tom: jason knows this of course brendan, tenet has 108,000 employees. it's like half of j.p. morgan.
6:17 am
i didn't know that. it's huge. brendan: walk us through the distinctions between health insurers and hospitals. for whom is it better? jason: it's definitely better for hospitals, because they've had to treat these patients anyway. pre-obamacare, they were treating sandeashts rising up to 30% of their revenue, so now with obamacare, they're essentially getting the revenue. for them it's a big deal, and they could have lost 6.4 million people, but those people keep their insurance. for them it's bad debt expense that now they don't have to face insurers have additional people that have health insurance and they get earnings from that, but it's not as substantial in terms of earnings because they have to spend a lot of it in terms of healthcare costs. brendan: i'm looking at a note from b.m.o. short-term rotation out of managed care and into hospitals so this is
6:18 am
so much better for hospitals that we're going to see that movement. jason: you know, that's possible. the other thing is there are about 22 states that have decided not to expand medicaid ,bulls would say, hey, a number of these states are considering expanding, so there's a long-term thesis that that side of the sector can still see some upside. we've heard some rumors, and there's still some optimism there, so the whole sector has really had a lot of interest in it. tom: i want to go to the state of our hospitals. bring up the chart. this is tenet healthcare, and it shows the different supreme court decisions. there's a signing of the affordable care act way over there in 2010, and then the first decision, and on we go to yesterday's decision. you know, i'm thinking here, buying the rumor selling the supreme court, and what exactly is the margin state of these entities? are they making more money than
6:19 am
they were in 2010? jason: yeah, absolutely. we talked about the 30% of revenue that they had to write off pre-obamacare, and that's gone down by anywhere from three to five percentage points. the margins have absolutely improved. even the margins have definitely improved upwards of 15% to 20%. tom: unlike a given city hospital in a big american city, these machines make money. they wake up every quarter, sort of like cable tv, and go, we know we're going to make money. do i have that right? jason: yeah, keep in mind that's different for the for-profit hospitals whereas the not for profit hospitals they have higher costs typically teaching hospitals, and they invest a lot more. so it's a little bit different story here for the for profit. tom: can i ask a dumb question? is the obamacare act good for
6:20 am
doctors and nurses? i can't get a straight answer. jason: at first it wasn't, and that's because it's very costly law for them, and so a lot of them had to sell their practices and become part of these larger practices. now that they are, then it actually is good because we all have the doc fix sign. that law in concert with obamacare, it's not so bad, because now all these new patients are in the system. it's actually coming to be a good law. tom: i just learned more about this in the last two minutes than i've learned in eight days. brendan: aren't you glad we scheduled this? tom: very good. thank you, jason. with bloomberg intelligence, jason mcgorman. coming up -- this is the guest so many have been asking for. tony is a genius on short-term paper and on liquidity. he's with a small start-up company in newport beach called pacific investment management company n. our next hour, anthony crescenzi on your fears of liquidity. stay with us on this friday,

6:26 am
paris. brendan: yes and we can't confirm this, but there are already pictures of who the attackers might have been. but again, this is very, very, very new and unconfirmed. vonnie: they've mobilized 10,000 soldiers to guard sites around the country. tom: south of lyon very much south of paris as well. futures are negative too, and dow futures negative. coming up, we'll look again at paris and uber. good morning. ♪

6:30 am

differences over financial reforms to unlike bailout money. the head of the finance ministers' group makes it clear is up to greece. >> we have no agreements. the institutions will have a look at the greek proposals, which came in late. if those are useful, we will put them in. the door is open for the greek side to accept what is on the table. vonnie: the bailout expires tuesday. the same day greece must pay the imf $1.7 billion. the state department says it cannot find 15 work-related e-mails from hillary clinton's private server. the e-mails were released by health panel investigating the benghazi attack three years ago. the messages include intelligence reports passed on by longtime political confidant sidney blumenthal. the e-mails predate the attack. there are few words written by clinton herself. a german producer expected to

6:33 am
think of the delivery by drone. tom: uber has had some challenges in the last few days. by all accounts, uber is a success. except when it is not. in the hamptons, and uproar. they ban over outrage. that is quaint compared to the violence in perry spirit when you think of france, you think of francine lacqua. you are thinking of uber. translate this in america. france was charged at the violence. is it about uber or is there something bigger going on? francine: it is about disruptors in general. it may be difficult to realize when you are sitting in the states how many industries in france and in italy and greece are locked.
6:34 am
it's difficult for a disruptor to come in. when you see the violence in france, i would make two points. this is something we see often in france because traditionally people take to the streets. people that are unhappy can become violent. we saw cars burning. things probably need to be reformed. brendan: uber's tactic has been to beg forgiveness rather than ask permission. was that what they did when they moved into france as well? francine: it is. when you see how close to the taxi industry is in places like france, uber was also banned in germany and italy. these are closed. to get a taxi license and france you need a 100,000 euros.
6:35 am
in italy it is more expensive. they did not ask for proper regulations. but if they had, it would have been almost impossible to get it i caught up with former ecb president jean-claude trichet. he likes the disruptions because he thinks it is advantage for the consumer. this is what he told me about uber. >> i'm not surprised that the impact of new technologies, new apps with smartphones and so forth is creating difficulty. we had a real sector. i hope this technology will permit to modernize the sector. as well as a number of other sectors. francine: these protests and clashes took everyone by surprise. it is very symptomatic of reforms needed that are not
6:36 am
being done. uber cannot get into them. tom: i also have got vonnie quinn. europe is different than america. courtney love gets the headlines in america. the music industry and the u.s. that might be the headline, what is the cultural difference between ireland or london or paris versus what uber is doing in houston, texas? vonnie: unions have more power in europe still. uber has been paying fines that drivers have been getting. uber has been taking the flag. they set up a headquarters by the court. are they doing anything in terms of protection with basically the riots going on. francine:, they are trying. courtney love tweeted we had tweets from celebrities. there is a security concernin
6:37 am
france. there are two types of ubers. the names of drivers change from country to country. the most affordable service is being challenged. they do not have to pay a license fee. the more upscale ones are not being challenged. if you are traveling to france the careful. you do not have to have a driver with a bat but maybe it does not hurt. brendan: i almost spit out my coffee when i heard you say it costs 100,000 euros to get a taxi license. an article in "business week" this week talking about david plouffe's work with uber. the picture you can see is how many lobbyists they have in the usp or what has been lobbying outreach looked like in europe? tom: good question. francine: for the moment we
6:38 am
have never heard a president like francois hollande say they should be made illegal. the courts have stopped uber the cheaper service, which is called uberpoo -- uber pop. i know you spent your coffee out when you hit 100,000. in italy it is more. they find it very difficult to gain market share. tom: my experience, this goes back to the lobbying work of david plouffe he has appeared on "surveillance" many times. the basic idea is there is outrage. is the basic junior banker in paris are they livid about this or are they supporting the taxi drivers? francine: the bnp paribas trader might have been educated in the
6:39 am
states. he may have a more liberal approach to these industries that are in dire need of reform. the average person in the streets in paris may be behind the taxi drivers just like they are behind the taxi drivers or pharmaceutical, the pharmacy in greece where you need 300,000 euros to get the license. this, for me is a disruptive versus old world europe. depends on where your affinities lie. brendan: francine lacqua in london. a new indicator for morgan stanley shows the apple watch may be more popular than the iphone. today's single best chart. this is bloomberg "surveillance" on bloomberg television. ♪

6:43 am
looking at interest in the watch. lower than the first generation iphone. now we are six weeks since the launch. demand has stabilized higher than expectations. the markets do not expect expectations for iphone and the watch growth are low -- the watch may fare better than we had expected. tom: dances suzuki with bank of america-merrill lynch. i like the phrase "moves the needle," the iwatch does not move the needle for apple and nobody seems to care. does not matter that it devolves down to ebitda. dan: people are extrapolating what it could mean for the future. there's a future for increased integration of mobile technology

6:53 am
bearish. where in the later stages of a bear market. going forward, the returns are going to be more modest. we've seen a drop in volatility this year. i think you're going to see volatility pick up. we would not see surprised to see a 5-10% correction over the next six months. tom: where are we now, this is the inflation-adjusted dow going back 30 years. the bottom line is up, down ri ght back down, we have moved to new real valuations for equities. does that mean it is an effervescent market? dan: i don't think so. valuations right now are in the ballpark of values. we are not overly bearish. the indicator that most of the bears point to is the shiller
6:54 am
pe. if you do the math on that indicator and look at what it implies for returns over the next 10 years, is implying returns of about 6% that is not great compared to the 10% average over the last 50 years but that is pretty good relative to other asset classes. that is the most bearish indicator out there. brendan: curious how you use your data. you run the has be 500 back but you get rid of the tech bubble to get a more accurate image. we should look at that as an outlier? dan: we are trying to be as conservative as possible. one argument is a lot of indicators out there are comparing today's evaluation versus the last 30 years. the problem with the last 30 years is you have a huge spike in evaluations because of the tech bubble, which most would argue is unsustainable. on the basis, most valuation metrics. tom: we could use the company

"surveillance." tom: greek and eu leaders must find time saturday to compromise or the eu moves to plan b. threere's a global fear on liquidity. anthony crescenzi of pimco. john roberts, anthony kennedy and the new supreme court. good morning, everyone. this is bloomberg "surveillance." live from new york. friday, june 26. our programming interrupted an hour ago. an attack some 300 miles south of paris. near lyon at an air products chemical plant. one dead. the president of france returning to paris. brendan: he has scheduled a cabinet meeting this afternoon. tom: we go to paris as we did and january with greg on the
7:01 am
terrorist attack. france gets used to this. another attack. what will be different about the response of the nation this time versus what we saw in january? greg: in january, because of the scale of the attacks and a massive response from all sections and all religions it was such a massive reaction to a massive attack. i would not expect that to repeat. this seems, we cannot say this clearly, it seems to be one guy acting on his own. we do not know that yet but everything points to that. we have had these sort of crazy guys doing things, whether it is knifing police. just as you have had in the u.s., denmark and britain. tom: you bring us so much perspective on french culture. i suggest there's a conflation
7:02 am
of the algerian colonial experiment with the rest of the arabic tensions within france. explain that to us and the divide within the culture of france. greg: france obviously has a complicated relationship with the other shores in the mediterranean since they were a colonial power from morocco through tunisia. there's been a lot of immigration, and large part of the french population is of north african descent. within that community, there is a range of integrated people. several cabinet members of the current government. some young men that feel cut off from the mainstream. they returned to what they think are their cultural roots to get a sense of identity and revenge against the country that they see does not welcome them. there's a full range. five or 6 million people. five or 6 million different
7:03 am
personal experiences within that. sadly there is a small fringe of disaffected young men. we saw it in the attacks in january. maybe that is what we are seeing today. there are several hundred french in syria fighting with islamic state. it is not just immigrants. there is also an element of young converts in this. there are some young french knot of arab background who feel attracted to this ideology. i guess it is a combination of a rigid, controlling life force to give them purpose and it is rebellious at the same time. maybe a double attraction. brendan: what can you tell us about the region where the attack took place. even the town. is it a place where there are a lot of disaffected young men? greg: i don't know about this particular town, but it is right between lyon, the second or third largest city and france. and grenoble a fairly major
7:04 am
town. this area of the country is industrial. yes, it does have a lot of the public housing projects where these sort of slightly alienated families grow up. it is not -- it does not stand out from the rest of france but it has that mix you would find in any big city. tom: what did you make of the president's discussion in brussels. he returns to france. what would you expect to see from hollande today and into the weekend? greg: they called a restricted cabinet meeting this afternoon. the interior and probably the defense minister. the prime minister is on a trip to south america. they will go over the high security measures in place in the country. the security forces have been stretched. france has the largest muslim population in europe. it also has the largest jewish population in europe.
7:05 am
the police are already protecting the synagogues, the mosques. the young men see the mainstream imams and mosques as being their enemy too. they are protecting government sites, military sites. now if they have to start protecting every industrial plant and private company in the country -- there is not the means. i presume they will give lipservice to increasing security. tom: thank you so much. incredibly valuable this morning. another terrorist attack in france. there are other headlines. vonnie: french president hollande calling it a terror attack, one dead and two injured at a french gas plant. the dead man was decapitated. one suspect arrested and identified. the president is returning to france from brussels and will hold a cabinet meeting this afternoon. in other news, tomorrow is

7:09 am
the scarcity of t-bills only worsens. tom: the u.s. two-year is .69%. tony: those are longer. if you want to park money without worrying about price fluctuation you would go shorter. the short t-bills are negative or zero. tom: on this friday at right now when you talk to your professionals, are we going to see that in motion? tony: we continue to expect the last second agreement. last day, last hour, left second the way this is going. in the end, we are optimistic about europe in the medium and long-term about how it will progress. we are long spain and italy. we expect the ecb's purchases to continue to compress yield spreads in those nations. brendan: we have been talking
7:10 am
about the short-term bills. run that out to the 10-year note. what is your inflation expectation at that timeline? tony: the yield range had been one and a quarter or two and three quarters. the markets are starting to see the whites in the fed rate hike's eyes. inflation picking up at the core level. brendan: we will talk about liquidity. we take a look at our twitter question. will greek banks have to shut down monday? let us know how scared you are on twitter. this is bloomberg "surveillance." ♪

7:13 am
that, to me is a fascinating perspective. when we talk about europe, ultimately the greek crisis comes down to a pension crisis. we do not know how to pay for things we have promised and cannot make good on. tom: the penchant thing is front and center in these agreements. brendan: the central problem with the greek system is that the benefits are not that much more generous but it is better funded. underfunding is the issue. tom: as we try to get our thoughts around the weekend ireland was not in a depression. vonnie: pretty close. tom: you would say that? vonnie: totally different problems at a housing bubble. what fashions me about the -- what fascinates me about the pension problem, it is the 57-year-old retiring that is the problem. brendan: there are exceptions if you work in a very physical occupation like a policeman or fireman. in greece there is good to if you are a hairstylist. it is the exceptions.
7:14 am
i saw you, steve from mizuho not in your head when we talked about looking at is what is going on in europe as a pension crisis. steve: it is a pension crisis p we have our own miniature version of that here at state and local levels. it is not just a greek problem, it is an international problem. in japan, the u.s., everywhere. every country that is getting older. tom: what did we learn about contagion this week? i look at the spread move and vonnie and iwatch ireland at 61 basis points. nothing near what greece is. i did not know that ireland got up to 15% unemployment. tony: on the political side gordon brown once visited pimco a few years ago at our forum. he said do not underestimate the
7:15 am
political will of europe to keep the euro together. we see that on numerous occasions. the second is central banks and their powerful influence. in our latest forum, one of the conclusions is -- can central banks keep it together? in some ways it is a house of cards with all the indebtedness. looks like markets belief central banks can keep it together. tom: we are going to come back. tony crescenzi and steve with us as well. our twitter question, will greek banks shut down monday? ♪

7:21 am
tom: in liquidity, you and i five or six years ago would look at libor. we would know the risk-free rate. can we do that today? tony: it is more difficult because of the growing scarcity of short-term instruments and central-bank activity. they own a big portion of debt. tom: it is distorted. tony: liquidity is something -- we should change our mindset a little. we want liquidity in our portfolios. individuals do entities do. we can buy treasuries. they tend to be very liquid. what do we do with the ill liquid part? we want to extract the premium that exists. investors will say i do not want these securities. the subprime mortgages of yesteryear. they have had high returns.
7:22 am
also, bank capital. many investors are worried about european banks. they have been shunning some of their bonds. tom: if we get an outcome saturday or sunday or monday or next thursday, how does it affect your world? how does it affect pimco's world the next minute? tony: pimco manages liquidity on a daily basis in anticipation of various scenarios that could develop. it ensures ample liquidity for clients. tom: you sound like a lawyer. tony: this is true. one has to be prepared every single day for the unknown. brendan: i want to make sure i understand. illiquity is not as much of a problem if you are looking out for the long-term. tony: not agency securities subprime mortgages we think returns will be around mid-single digits. only in cases where home prices
7:23 am
fall do they become a problem. a 10% decline in home prices would still leave this with a positive return. tom: i want to know what happens to european banks monday morning. tony: there would be a belief -- there would be some risk premium might develop in bonds in the periphery. there would be a feeling that the central bank, the european central bank at the end of the day will help save the day. tom: provide liquidity and come to the rescue. tony: it is engaging in a bond buying program to last until such a 2016. tom: can they ramp that up monday or tuesday? tony: they might just decide to change the timing. tom: within your research, does mr. draghi have the ability to work on an ad hoc basis on monday or tuesday? tony: the key idea, the political will to keep the euro together is there. if it is, then of course the european central bank can act on it. brendan: let me jump in on

7:32 am
market. 2% decline. 18% decline. those are classic their market declines. it are they really, when you look at a series as volatile and as awed as this? two standard deviations of volatility, and we're way through that. brendan: one thing to note, a lot of that growth is not coming from institutional investors but from consumers. a great use of reporting from bloomberg news this morning. china investors get that greater full feeling. they regret their experience. tom: there it is. it is not a normal stock market, is it? steve: no, it is not. it is a stock market with the government has been promoting expansion and poppy stock market. tom: my problem is everybody calls a bear market it team russia 18% to 20% and ago, you have to look at the series.

7:37 am
political opinion? greg: the supreme court is not a politically accountable branch. he does not respond to public opinion in the way congress does, but it is not unaware of it. we have seen the court shift in the rapidly in the direction of gay rights and gay marriage, was like we have seen the public do it. it is hard to say that they are not connected in some way. brendan: looking back over the last two terms, and i know this term is not yet completely over, is just as kennedy still be swing justice or can we now consider the chief justice as the swing justice? greg: this time, he certainly has an much more. i guess they're both swing justices. probably just as kennedy more often than not goes with the four democratic appointees be at he did it yesterday in an important case involving housing discrimination letting losses go forward even without proof of intentional discrimination. he will be the swing justin --
