tv Market Makers Bloomberg August 21, 2015 8:00am-10:01am EDT
8:00 am
happy friday. it is august 21 and you are watching "market makers." i am olivia sterns with the man who shot a few inches. corey: by friday, i'm about five inches -- five feet and eight inches. i am not erik or stephanie. they are off this week. looking down on the wall street. the dow lost 358 points and s&p 500 tumbled the most. you investors who know these things. my call and caused this a pessimistic market in stocks and oil has the longest run that -- joins us aso launch what to talk about his target for crude. olivia: it will be a nice discussion with my colin, the perennial bowl and we will contrast him -- with mike holland, the perennial bull. you can play good cop and i will play bad cop.
8:01 am
olivia: i like that. newreece, may have elections to get rid of dissenting voices in his own party. alexis tsipras said he would quit and copper new elections. he has been in office eight months and he was elected on an anti-austerity platform but agreed to more tax hikes and spending cuts to get a badly needed a lot. greeks, women and men, i want to be absolutely honest with you. we did not achieve the deal we were hoping for before elections in january, but we did not face the reaction we expected. in this battle, we make concessions but we brought a deal that given the overwhelming negative correlation in europe and given what we inherited from the absolute binding of the country in terms of the memoranda austerity measures, that was the best one that could succeed. greece could hold an election as early as september 20. it received the first chunk of the $95 billion bailout this week which it used in part to
8:02 am
pay back the ecb. in turkey, the president is faring -- is hearing up to call for elections november 1. in an attempt to form a coalition government, it made political divisions worse. low fore, an all-time the currency against the dollar and debt has soared. corey: the world's largest maker of farm agreement is cutting their forecast. john deere hurt by lower crop rices that of preventing farmers from buying more equipment. their sales started falling in the americas last year. jeb bush taking the gloves off. for weeks, bush hasn't listened as donald trump mocked him repeatedly, but yesterday, bush fired back at the front runner. >> there is a big difference between donald trump enemy. i'm a proven conservative with the record, he is not. i cut taxes every it, he has proposed the largest tax increase in mankind's history, not just our country's history.
8:03 am
i have been consistently pro-life. he, until recently, was for partial-birth abortion. i have never actually met a person who thought that was a good idea. corey: bush says talk clearly has talent but pointed that he had been a democrat longer than a republican. this is why you hate the preseason games when a star player, robert griffin iii took a bunch of hard hits last night in the preseason game with a concussion against detroit redskins. they beat detroit, 70 -- 17, 21 but he is part again and no word on how long he will be out. those are -- ouch -- the top headlines. olivia: the nfl has got to sort it out. corey: that guy keeps getting hit. markets also got hit yesterday, so five things you need to know this morning. we've got to start with the global selloff. u.s. futures in the red sharply
8:04 am
this morning. s&p 500 index saw the worst drop in 18 months. you are looking at the move in the past since the droid 2014 which shows an increase. telling is thee global selloff, the s&p 500 down 4%. i want to bring in doug kast, he is called the generational -- he called the generational low and after closely examining the fundamental and technicals, he tells us the current selloff is nothing short of serious. doug kass is president of seabreeze partners and joins us on the phone -- corey: on the phone from -- olivia: east hampton. corey: thank you. we go way back. olivia: i appreciate the time you're taking. why is this selloff quite serious? doug: i think to figure out where we are going in the market, we have to understand where we came from. there are a number of conditions that have been developing for a
8:05 am
few months that have conspired and have formed a toxic cocktail that led to this week's risk aversion. risk, as we learned this week, happens fast. though the wealth engine in the world has been equities inflation provided by the liquidity essential bankers, this oil engine is being tested. corey: doug, what in particular do you see as sort of a broader systemic kind of risk in the market right now? doug: i think there have been a number of conditions, corey, that have evolved in the last six months which are much different than the past events. .e should be concerned technical deterioration's, the first one, we have to be mindful that there has been a narrowing of the market leadership and market emergences. it has been a consistent theme of mine and concern of mine.
8:06 am
transports have already fallen this fight lower oil prices and cyclicals, especially, of the energy kind have gone down. commodity-based companies and stocks at all entered their own bear markets. until this week, that was dismissed. the second thing is we have this increased role of momentum-based portfolio and trading strategies and etf's and these strategies and leverage etf a sickly tick the market -- basically took the market to new lows. they cannot about balance sheets or income statements. they are agnostic to her value lies. that alet me unpack little bit. so these leveraged ats, the ats that go up twice as fast and down twice as fast, you'd think that has been driving the markets? doug: i think that combined with high-frequency trading strategies, both of those strategies and the etf have sort theilled the vacuum where
8:07 am
retail investor has been consistently taking money out of the markets. this is one of 10 concerns i have. a more fundamental concern would be the widening credit spread, and as you know, spreads have widened dramatically. i talked to tom keene about this. in the last two months, high-yield has been from 225 to .ver 500 over treasuries we should not lose sight that investment grade and high-yield markets have had record issuances in the last two years and this substitution of debt for equity has been an important tool for corporate share buybacks. olivia: something we have been talking about on bloomberg television, credit fed widening, stocks are not commodity, currencies. the beach, where do you take shelter in these markets? doug: i have been emphasizing sectors like closed and leasable bond funds that benefit --
8:08 am
municipal bond fund's that benefit from these lower rate environments and that on the short side, i have a short life for theircompany reinvestment opportunities are greatly diminished companies like lincoln national, metropolitan life, and corey reassured berkshire hathaway. corey: let's talk about that. you said there are some things you can cap inked already -- eggs you think cap heat already and warren buffett is one. stocks, lawns, activism, warren buffett, housing, china -- we might as well start with warren buffett. how can he ensure berkshire hathaway? doug: moore used to buy gazelle and she priced companies that he price is whatys you pay, value is what you get. beginning about one decade ago, he began to change the nature of his portfolio, paid up for a
8:09 am
bunch of consumer brand companies, paid up recently for precision cash hearts and record high multiples to evita and earnings and customary. i did think that berkshire hathaway, which has a substantial premium to book value of about 40%, is basically evolving into the u.s. global gdp company. the biggest problem is the large numbers. it is just increasingly -- he is like apple. it is time for apple, subject you know a lot more about than i did, it is increasingly hard for apple and berkshire to move the needle because by nature of their share successes. olivia: we will leave it there. that kass, president of seabreeze partners joining us from tampa. thank you for joining us. corey: number two, we are watching oil slump.
8:10 am
heading for the longest run of weekly declines in almost 30 years. prolonged supply drives prices to a six year low. julie hyman has number three. not oil.ich is in some other selloffs around the globe, the chinese stock market, traders putting the government's market risk to the test. they have sent the shanghai index to in dekes -- its low. so much for measures taken there but there was something fundamental feeling that selling. the chinese manufacturing, factory activity dropping to its lowest in six years. we really see the selling spread across global. should mention that hong kong dropping bear market, 20 percent. also seeing selling in europe, european equities pending to more than a 4% drop in the week. that would be the biggest weekly drop since december. they were also heading for a
8:11 am
correction, a drop of at least 10%. the selling is definitely not limited and pretty rough. interesting that you are seeing a lot of the heaviest selling and some of the biggest growth stocks. facebook, apple, netflix, google, some of the biggest losers. corey: they were kind of the fab five but i think i like the fang better. olivia: biotech down 4% in volatility. corey: all the stock is the sending like crazy, whether chinese equities because china will be great, great or the highfliers like salesforce or tesla. good thing they have to defend, they love most. olivia: number four is tech, you got this on. corey: hewlett-packard down about 2% in the premarket. they reported declining sales across divisions but they say that they beat the number. number, salesthat
8:12 am
have been reported, but about beating that number, olivia, they pulled a fast one on me. i did not notice this last night. growthur worst revenue corridor is down in percent year over year but you beat on earnings per share -- olivia: that is the story of the past years, growth management. flatline growth. their if you look at restructuring cost, last night, they reported a 20 family and dollar restructuring cost in their income statement. -- reported a $25 million restructuring cost in the income statement and without that, they reported the average and they would not have read, so by lowering that restructuring cost last night, they were able to have a beat but the results in the way the companies managed may not reflect things being better. olivia: number five, friday, a fun one. deutsche bank is going after rbs's biggest customers using a traditional scottish dish.
8:13 am
the bank has formed a committee they are calling the haggis team to poach rbs's clients and edinburgh base. haggis, i do not know if you have ever lived over there, it is a savory ready-made of sheep's heart, liver and lungs encased in a sheep's stomach. corey: it is hard to get sheep's stomach. olivia: is it? corey: sheep's longest the difficult ingredient. there is a ban in the u.s. on importing sheep's lung. olivia: you don't have to import it. we have that here. corey: you cannot get real hike is from scotland because it is against the law. you can buy weed but you cannot get sheaves long. that is not right. operationsename for like stealing rbs clients. much more to come on "market makers." up next, our guest categorizes the market. michael holland has seen days
8:14 am
8:17 am
olivia: futures are firmly in the red. stresses have been building in global markets and have reached the u.s. s&p 500 index had been a source of stability despite the slow in china and the greek crisis, but 500 tumbledhe s&p the most in 18 months. michael holland joins us now on set. great to have you on. -- is the bull market over? michael: absolutely no. you had me going. history oft this august september -- august, september and followed by october is pretty clear. we have an amount of selloffs during these months over the 50, 100 years.
8:18 am
it is interesting. i just heard doug kass, a great friend, i always listen to him because i have a tennessee tort optimism and he keeps me -- i have a tendency toward optimism and the key sleep rushed to the dangers out there and they are all real. it is absolutely real. the fact is that the markets are not overpriced. they are not inexpensive as there were several years ago as we talked about but they are ok. there are some good values out there and i think the concerns that we have right now are not new concerns. china is not new. there is nothing new. we have been talking about the hard landing in china potential or the last eight years. corey: what is new is that we are seeing it. we are seeing a dramatic the climb. michael: and that is the hard landing. olivia: the manufacturing numbers that came out showed the biggest contraction since 2009. michael: we talk about this a
8:19 am
lot. i will be over there in three weeks in beijing and i talked to people yesterday about what is going on with companies. slow down has been going on at the continuous pace. corey: but there might be a fundamental change. we heard from glencore that they are having trouble because of corruption investigation and they cannot get programs off the ground because people cannot do business. we heard last week, on the radio, i heard from the ceo of mclaren. they say it is completely dried up and the culture of conspicuous consumption is gone from china because of this corruption investigation. combine that with what we are hearing of the slowdown of manufacturing and the consumption of raw goods is down substantially. michael: all of those are unassailable facts. it is not in the last month or the last week or the last three months. that has been going on. when mr. xi came into
8:20 am
government, he said they would crack down. if you are running the company right now, you do not know if you are being indicted. he is going after political enemies. everything has slowed down. conspicuous consumption, guess what? they had a huge amount of corruption and they were buying all kinds of crazy stuff. stopped. there is a major transition. the transition has been going on since this guy took over and that's in addition has gone to pace. everything will be slower as a result. it is not even 6% growth. more like 4% or 5% growth that it is growth. invest in companies over there have been telling us all the things you just said. there was no question if this is going on and it will continue as they move from a commodity driven country to consumption where the middle class euros. slower growth and manageable growth at the guys who run the country made mistakes in the past but they do not make as many as over here.
8:21 am
olivia: let's bring it back to u.s. equitys for portfolios. some of your biggest holdings, apple, google, they were some of the biggest losers in yesterday's session. to make conversation. michael: be nice. olivia: you'll get a hug after the segment if you answer questions honestly. are you worried? have a peeked? michael: i do not believe the divine relations. what is it? olivia: the multiple? corey: i don't know. michael: 12. olivia: 12.32. michael: i gave him the answer. i am current, but the answer is very low. stoppede company has all of the success today. olivia: we will have to cut you
8:22 am
8:25 am
it is friday and that means we are claimed the yearbook game on "market makers" and here he is. this young man. corey: i've already got it. olivia: spoiler alert. he's got a degree in geology and built a career well beyond that. he went to amarillo high school and texas, class of 1947. tweet us your guesses. i am at olivia sterns and -- cory -- michael: corey knows. olivia: we are back with michael
8:26 am
holland. he was just talking about apple and correction territory. you want to buy more? michael: sure. you are buying an option that will come up with good ideas in the future, a car, tv or something. the next generation of watch may make it, the iphone is spectacular in many of our lives. the option is at 12 times or 13 times earnings and a reasonable options price. about your curious thoughts because exxon mobil and chevron as well, the big oil companies, really falling off. stock isrgue the really getting pummeled. michael: great time, for the reason you just said, the stocks are getting, and. whenever we have had these in our cycles and you go through the long ways -- corey: you are calling the old.
8:27 am
michael: no, you used to follow the energy industry. we get to these cycles you talk about, and there were numbers this morning. we will have an opportunity with companies like exxon to buy at lifetime good prices because it can take advantage of these opportunities. they look 50 years out and invest and buy things cheaply and do well. some of the small companies, we -- small companies sell those. corey: but they have not done a great job of reserve replacement. i would thought there would have been in that already but they have not been out there. michael: it may be yet to come. olivia: jpmorgan -- why do you like it? michael: for some of the same reasons. under an incredible and not a pressure since 2008, the wind will shift over the next 10 years, we will get some interest rate relief, maybe even september 17 from the fed. when the interest rates change,
8:28 am
all banks led by jpmorgan will and talk flow waves about paddle boarding. we will end up with huge waves of cash coming in to these companies. olivia: you did say you are a perennial bull. corey: i would argue you have seen the companies and you have identified their problems to your credit. ibm, a company has problem's now, you think? michael: they may be getting over them. i think maybe she will get it right that i see no indications. corey: so far, no indications. michael: you know much more about this than i do. corey: i hear the cloud offering is really good but going against what they are trying to sell. sales numbers are down almost every quarter. olivia: a couple minutes ago, doug kass called warren buffett.
8:29 am
love listening to god because it is always checking my positions and my train of that. douglove listening to because it is always checking my positions and my train of thought. yes, he is right. he talks about 40% premium to book value and he is right, but underlined values are really good. the burlington acquisition was spectacular by itself. people say when you get that too big to succeed, braun. they said that about apple. people who lead companies, i think the key will be for successors to help it in how he does it. corey: you could make a good guy with intrinsic cory: great to see you. thank you very much.
8:30 am
olivia: the greek drama continues. the prime minister will step rebels haventh and split to form a new party. the greek people will head again to the ballot box again. is he so confident he can form a new unity government? tom: he is still very popular. legal -- most popular leader. he thinks he's got time on his side. he has the backing of the creditors who are pumping all of this money into greece. this is probably a good idea. the timing is important because his opposition parties new party needs time to get organized. september 13 could actually be the date of the election. we heard september 20th.
8:31 am
they are saying a september 13 could be at. it's by no mean certain. right now, they are trying to form a government and that looks unlikely. political campaigning will kickoff tuesday or wednesday next week. olivia: tell us how he is perceived. is he perceived as someone who saved greece or somebody who went against his word? agreed to anhe austerity package that was harsher than they rejected in the referendum that he called. tom: exactly. split opinions here. you've got the popular unity party and the anti-austerity party. not have rebels who did vote against the bailout. it's not universal.
8:32 am
saidnight in a speech he we tried to get the best a allowed deal. he talks about debt relief from the imf. we are the best people to take this forward. he said they will get the best kinds of reform. there are some tough reforms in the pipeline. it's tough. opinions are split. there is resignation on the streets. olivia: that was my feeling as well. thank you so much for joining us outside the parliament in athens. cory: it's time for our top stories. china's group will invest money uber. the rest they will put in the china business. midsized to go into 50 chinese cities. twitter shares dropped below the $26 price.
8:33 am
that's almost two thirds of its peak shortly after it started trading in november 2013. jack dorsey warned it would take a while to stop the slowdown. adidas is trying to regain his reputation for cool in the u.s.. the german shoemaker hopes kanye west will do the trick they are releasing a third version of its popular shoe. kanye west helped with the design and marketing. they have been losing market share to nike and under armour. i like it. those are your top headlines at this hour. cory: mark benioff made some foolish comments about revenue. is this country growing fast
8:37 am
cory: that is the view in york city this morning. it's a beautiful morning. olivia: it is indeed. i am glad to be here with you. cory: yesterday was a gnarly morning. salesforce reported quarterly results that were ahead of estimates. of 1.6 3are, revenue billion. it's the slowest growth they have seen except for one quarter in i've years rid mark benioff could not have been more bullish. >> as you can see from our results and the momentum we are having with our success platforms and sales and service and marketing, we are on a
8:38 am
trajectory to do $10 billion in revenue faster than any software company in history. it's been a phenomenal first half of the year. cory: that is mark benioff, always mark benioff. what was unique about this quarter? richard: the thing that surprised us was the cash flow. they did $1 billion of free cash flow. that is higher than we thought. the other kind of leading ,ndicator calculated billings that was higher than we expected at 20% versus 15. that is a good indicator for the short term. cory: that is not including acquisitions. i know that is the correct way to analyze cash flow. i don't agree with it. i think companies that are toial acquirers, you have
8:39 am
figure in the effect of these acquisitions. richard: you are right. we look at that way. part ofnteresting is this is the reason why the cash flow margins are moving up. committed to giving people 100 or 200 basis points. there is a trade-off in both of those things. that's a legitimate question. cory: is that enough for you? we have had some quarters where they did not keep up with recognition. that sounds like an accounting mystery. richard: that's a good question. there is some seasonality to their business. it does evan flow. our view is straightforward. we think this company can grow 20% a year for the next five years. their operating margins should double from 13% to maybe 25%.
8:40 am
in the long term they can get the 30. we think you can double the stock in five years. that's pretty good. olivia: how about the competition? mark benioff was very dismissive with oracle. they are spending big to compete in cloud. what is their confederate of advantage question -- competitive advantage? richard: they have more reference customers and they have been doing it longer. they have legitimate products. those guys are playing catch-up. if you add up is the revenues of all the cloud companies that are public, it's 25 billion. if you add up the non-cloud companies which would include oracle, it's 400 billion. it's 6% of the revenue of the industry in the cloud. they have a long way to go. cory: you talk to investors
8:41 am
about the stock, they call you with love when you get it right, what is the sentiment about this? you've got a growth rate of 20%. less than you saw a couple of years ago. -- thee momentum momentum investors say maybe it's not doing it for me anymore? richard: you are going from more crowdowd to a that cares about cash flow. the company is committed to growing that margin number in the cash flow number. you are in a transition. that's why the stock has been up a little bit this year. i think it's been somewhat of a grinder. i think it will start to work soon. cory: richard davis, we appreciate your time on this. come, theill to
8:45 am
cory: let's look at futures. look.hyman has a bring the pain. we can talk about whether we will see the pain. julie: the first indication is futures. we are still seeing declines in a futures that we saw across the globe sparked by feedback. we have the emerging market selloff and that continued to the u.s. on concerns of global growth. that continued back to some of
8:46 am
the global markets like china and then europe. that continues in the united states for the moment. a couple of things to note about yesterday. let's look at my bloomberg terminal. the s&p 500 bloke below the moving average. it also broke out of its trading range. not gonech, we have below 2040. we get that akin march. we approached it a few times and then yesterday, we broke below it. some traders are asking if this is now a new top for the market. are we going to continue to see some downside. i want to point out that we have seen the leadership of the year give up gains. this is a long-term chart. i looked in a long-term chart. 60% since hundred post financial crisis.
8:47 am
then if you zoom in on what's been happening this year, you see that it has dropped 20% just since early june. it has entered a bear market. this is indicative what we are seeing across the market. we saw biotech starks -- stocks fall percent. this is the start of leadership turnover we have seen over the past couple of ways. other signs for optimist him? technicians are looking at the strength index. this is one for the s&p 500. when it gets close to the green line, it could be due for a allen's. gets close to the red line it could be due for a decline. if you look at all the commentary out this morning on what could happen next, take your pick. of the going to go up or down from here? it's divided. chart, that's
8:48 am
interesting. olivia: we are seeing a big spike in the vicks yesterday. we want to change the conversation to retail. estimates, net sales were down 2%. the question now is can they reclaim the fame wants had. for her offices. dana: there was nothing new. it's all about spring 2016. the new product is going to be out there. it's about waiting for that time to get there. old navy, the most important division, maintains its consistent performance. that will be the case. if they maintain the 280
8:49 am
guidance, that was taken as a positive. with growth margins down, they are having to promote very aggressively. olivia: there does not appear to be a 2015 growth story and gap. i want to bring viewers to my terminal. you essentially see growth 2000 15.g expected for what do they need to do to start growing? julie: all about product. dana: you are going to embrace the core customer again. the fact that marketing spend isn't up, that's because they need to have the right product to sell. they need to get the right product in there and advertise it aggressively. it takes time to get the right product in there. it's banana republic also.
8:50 am
maybe holiday is when we should see some of that. cory: what do we know about discounting in gap stores? what is the status they are doing it? dana: discounting heavily. you will see discounts. that's denim included. banana republic also. --t's why the growth bargain margin is pressured. we will see hyper emotional levels at gap and banana republic because the product isn't what the consumers have wanted right now. olivia: i don't expect to pay full price it cap anymore. that's the last thing they want to hear. i had an interesting conversation with some ceos about millennial shopping habits. are they willing to pay full price? does everybody expect 30% off? speak their got to
8:51 am
language. the categories seem to be working these days, it's all about cosmetics. look at how estee lauder is coming out. they will be featured in some of the stores. look at what we are seeing with activewear. activewear is the new everyday wear. whether foot locker or under armour is in the conversation, you need some activewear. millennials are 25% of the population. millennials and mobile are the two key attributes that retail companies can be looking at for holiday 2015. olivia: we do like our leggings. we were just looking at the stats. gap is officially in a bear market. it's all about the bottoms. i thought it was all about the base. olivia: coming up, the worst day
8:52 am
8:55 am
8:56 am
theme park in england. of dark is full sculptures. there is a training camp for anarchist. i want to get a quick look at the sentiment on wall street. this is a live shot of the new york stock exchange. the bears are out today. those are real bears. bears in newily of jersey. that is the family in the house filming this. it is just one there. that family of tears said let's go to the miller's. cory: pool party at the miller's. the bears are out. olivia: look how much fun they are having. one is going down the slide. cory: they called 911 and the police could not do anything
9:00 am
>> this is "market makers." olivia: good morning. you are watching the second hour. happy friday. cory: i am cory johnson. the biggest after drop in the s&p yesterday in 18 months. we have a look at top stories. we are starting with markets. one of the stocks falling is the biggest maker of pharma credit. john deere is falling.
9:01 am
corn prices have fallen by 55%. jobs.eere cut hundreds of hewlett-packard is trading lower this morning. earnings were short of estimates. sales fell across divisions. meg whitman says they are in a difficult business environment. hp will split into two companies in november. cory: president obama is trying to keep democrats on his side. he made his strongest pitch in a letter. he urged congressman to back the plan. the u.s. would take steps, even military action, if you ran does not keep its promise not to build nuclear weapons. it was hot last month. july was the earth's warmest month ever.
9:02 am
average temperature was 62 degrees fahrenheit. scientists blame it on man-made climate change. a record el niño is in the pacific. that may bring rain to california this winter. those your top headlines. olivia: nervous investors are waiting for the markets to open this morning. this after markets plunged 2% yesterday. the s&p is negative for the year. it has broken out of its trading range to the downside. let's bring in bruce and robert. that, how important is it they broke through this level? bruce: i think it does technically. all areas of the market are in gear. it's on the downside it. have to be much more cautious. cory: what is going on in terms
9:03 am
of investor sentiment? did something change? do people feel that gotten all they can out of this market? bruce: i don't think sentiment has changed dramatically yet. it probably will going forward. collection in four years. that has led to a lot of complacency. you can see that in the six. -- fix. october, itk to soared to 27. we did not get close to that this year. i suspect for we see a lull of the market, we will see a 27 reading and perhaps even 30. olivia: you said if the s&p stated above 24 he there would be buying opportunities.
9:04 am
felt that if the market is able to stay in the trading range that the most attractive areas would be in the consumer area. they were showing best in our relative studies and more importantly the consumer is benefiting from this plunge and energy prices. it's estimated the average household has an extra $1000 to spend. businesses benefit. their costs dropped as well. 20% of the market is hurt, the other 80% of the market benefits. those the two areas we felt the market would behave and do best. cory: we haven't seen that in consumer spending. i know it's been predicted for since oil took a dive. it has not shown up. walmart had zero sales growth. olivia: that's true.
9:05 am
cory: the results were not strong. consumers have more in their pocket and it may be staying there. bruce: that's not necessarily a bad thing. the consumer doesn't have to leverage everything to help the economy. the consumer is in a more cautious motive. they are increasing their savings and that is bullish. it represents future consumption. a lot of economists will disagree with that. the only way you build a sustainable economy is in you encourage savings and investment. olivia: what you telling clients? is this a time to hang out in cash? bruce: it's a time to be cautious. we have not had a correction in four years. it's normal to have a 10% correction any given year. we are experiencing nothing out of the ordinary.
9:06 am
it feels that way. we don't think the economy is going to slip into recession. we don't think interest rates are in place that will ratchet ly.significant interest rates are near zero. there is not a lot of competition outside of socks. for now, we are cautious. we are not pessimistic. what do you see in terms of spending by those companies? been: capital spending has problematic over the last several years. it's led to problems in terms of her activity. intolt that as 2015 moved 2000 gain, we thought capital spending would improve. we think that will be likely.
