lot of follow-through buying. let's head over to london. joe: thanks. i want to dive inside my bloomberg terminal to look at the canadian dollar versus oil. we have the canadian election results last night. the liberal one big. they're worried he will spend more than the conservative government, definite rise -- a deficit will rise. the canadian dollar is totally fine today. it did not weaken on the news. oil is driving the canadian dollar. the canadian dollar versus the it isollar versus wti, not hard to see what drives it. maybe he could change things at the margin with the budget and that could affect the currency, but a large part of canada's fortune is now likely to be a

4:05 pm
los angeles. good to have you. always fun to get your take. you were saying in the mid it is time to go to cash. you made thathy call and what your charts are telling you now. >> looking at the u.s., the yields aty for bond 2%, u.s. stocks overvalued on any metric great they are not terrible. -- any metric. they are not terrible. there is no way you're going to get to the returns of a pension fund or what ever is looking for that return. on top of that, u.s. markets have been in a down trend. you have to look elsewhere for those big he returns, which is one of the reasons we are positive on foreign equity markets. i want to ask you about some of the structural things in the market. people are talking about how their is more and more money
4:06 pm
that's going into quantitative markets, when the paper bush. when they're down, people sell. you follow trends a lot. inyou think the interest this area exacerbates the moves and that's why we get huge volatility spikes like makeup -- late august or september. >> i think it can. if your trading cotton or something, but when you're talking but u.s. equities, bonds , currencies, it is a drop in the bucket. when you look at how much is just sitting there in the trillions of dollars compared to the relatively little in buying, it is a minor influence. i think it helps in a lot of the markets where you're looking for price discovery, but a merry -- a very minor influence. >> yahoo! earnings are crossing.
4:07 pm
it looks like it's in line. >> it looks like it is in line but light. the consensus estimate was $.15, so lighter than anticipated, but a huge drop off from the third quarter last year when it was $.52. revenue, when you -- revenue was coming in at $1 billion, slightly lighter than anticipated. announcements,er yahoo! says it has cut spending, workforce, and discretionary costs, but note number of affiliated with that. it looks like there will be more expense adjustments by yahoo!. >> it says it's top priority is the plan to spin off of its alibaba holdings. it is the one thing that
4:08 pm
investors need to hear from this company. grow, butor, hard to what you going to do about alibaba? yahoo! has been seen as a tracker stock for alibaba, but operationally not doing as well as it could of been. what happens to alibaba? >> which brings up valuation questions. to look at a lot of ratios get an idea of how expensive stocks are. when you take a look at the ratio for the s&p, what you see and what is it tell you where it's going to go? 25.round historically markets around 16 or 17. the u.s. is expensive. it's not horrific, but it does set the stage for weaker returns going forward. if you look at the rest of the
4:09 pm
world, the broad form developed sitting around 15. 16, emerging. even drilling into individual countries, much more opportunity in just the united states, which is a big influence because the united states is around half of the world's market cap. moving away from that benchmark is a smart thing to do. >> you use a 10 month moving average, why that over other time frames? does it work better for equities? >> it doesn't matter. the big decision is to either use trend or not. the same thing with valuation. those two are very complement tree indicators. most investors find themselves on one or the other, trend followers, buy and hold, or value guys. the intersection of the two can have a much more complete and positive performance come as a something like the 10 month
4:10 pm
moving average it doesn't matter. thing is the decision to use it in the first place, and again we stress this a lot, it is not a magic indicator, but across markets it reduces your volatility, reduces your catastrophic drawdown, which doesn't necessarily happen that much, big is you a smoother equity curve and exist to trade another day. can have a much smoother equity curve. >> we do have some more numbers from chipotle. kind of the same thing, in line, but a little light. >> if you look at comparable sales for retailers and restaurant companies, third quarter up slightly higher than what analysts had expected. the other numbers are pretty much in line and light. -- isl revenue misses

4:17 pm
ones at 50%. you have almost every equity market in the world to climbing by two thirds. you never know. that is the stage for secular bull markets. if you look at where the returns have been in the united states, sub are reprints -- returns since 1999. it takes a while to work off those bubbles. returns,later, subpar but not near a secular low for the start of a bull market again. we've had a pretty strong six-year run, but we are back into expensive territory. >> you talk about how u.s. stocks are expensive and how the bear market could have a longer run, but we seen a real nice bounce the last couple of weeks. what would need to happen for equitiesy that u.s. have momentum on their site and are in a real uptrend, by the
4:18 pm
way should aside? momentum over foreign markets over the last six years. it is 50-50 which outperforms. the u.s. has dominated almost all equity markets for the past 10 years. if they continue to go back up, i will not say that we should be out of this market. .e will start to get back in i have no problem with that. in general, the valuation side -- they hit mid 40's in the u.s. in the late 1990's. hit 40,her markets have 50, 60, and japan as high as 90 in the 1980's. were not in a bubble. it is not horrific. they are expensive. if the trend continues, we will get out of the way. >> we have a track now of japan, a major stock market that took years to hit the bottom. japan isn't some backwater.
4:19 pm
it is one of the world's largest economies in terms of gdp right now. it is a fundamental, instructional example of a bubble. twice as big as ours in the 1990's. and people talk about the demographics, why japan has had or returns for 20 years, but it takes that long to work off a really expensive evaluation. it's going to take a while to japan are the time it finally got it cheap, nobody cared. stockswanted japanese because they had been dead money for 20 years. what happened? they had a monster run. -- what'spportunity happening in south america, brazil, europe, eastern
4:20 pm
emerging, where the really cheap countries are if you're looking for big returns, but certainly not the u.s. next questionthe right out of my mouth. you like brazil and russia. very few people like right now. how cheap is brazil? how could you lose on brazil? could it still go lower? you find that valuations correlate with how much of a market has already declined, so by the time you are buying these markets like brazil and the like another four or five other countries, eastern europe, czech republic, usually they have declined by 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%. look at greece. you are buying markets that no one wants. i gave talks in columbia and
4:21 pm
mexico when they were in bubble this is whyd said this is really expensive in a bubble. no one wanted to hear that. everyone gave 100 reasons why that is not the case. the same thing happened on the flip side. i was given a talk and austria and said the markets are really cheap. this is wonderful. nobody cared. it had already declined so much. same thing in brazil. why notfind 100 reasons to invest, but historical violations are better ways to invest in market cap and a much better idea than investing in expensive countries. this is particularly important as the u.s. is one of the most expensive countries in the world. you can pick up a basket of these cheap countries for a p/e ratio of around 10, less than half the u.s. >> cofounder and chief

4:25 pm
may bethat would show up served by google. google would then pay for a certain amount of traffic and take a cut of what ever they get paid by advertisers. anyou think about google as advertising sales vehicle, the google ad salespeople will be working to put ads on yahoo! as they do for other sites across the internet. you might look at it as a capitulation or yahoo! relying on google to do a lot of work they used to do. this could be potentially such a big deal that within the filing there is a special clause saying there will be an accelerated antitrust review of the justice department that google will make itself available to. almost all of the search will be done only by google, if yahoo! is now farming out results to google. more headlines, it's
4:26 pm
revenue for the fourth quarter excluding partner sites will be lower than what analysts had anticipated, 906 million versus the consensus -- >> that is a significant drop for this company. we will start to look at this business as a stand-alone business after the alibaba spin off. the results are getting worse and worse. worse and worse results, a lower forecast, a deal with google. you would think that they would be in bed with microsoft. does the google-yahoo! packed take center focus here? >> within the fine print there is a line that says the deal can be abandoned if there is a change of control, that is someone takes over google or yahoo!
4:27 pm
yahoo! is a shadow of what it was. yahoo! has spent billions of dollars in acquisitions to try bigger, but yahoo! is getting smaller. we know there is some cost-cutting here, but they will buy companies just to get the engineering talent at one moment. here we are turning over operational business to google at the same time they are seeing revenue fall from mashed expenses to that small revenue picture. -- left ofs less yahoo! if the search is done by google. what is yahoo!? it isn't all of the search. it is some of the search. it is destinations, male, homepage, sports, finance.

4:35 pm
that number suggests that the number is -- it is not so bad that it reflects, suggesting a need for the authorities to fling a bunch of stimulus of the problem. they claimed there would be 7% growth. they can take a slight miss on the growth target but unwilling to compromise on the structural reform agenda. >> it's more on the consumer side and lest on the investment side. in 2015,e fastest pace well-off the 2014 average. vindication for beijing that says it is transitioning to a domestic-demand driven economy. >> it is. that part of the economy is doing fine. one of the issues has to do less with china and actually what the prize numbers are telling us. createsentially inc. --

international spillovers. ,ou had the real growth numbers 6.9%, the nominal number was 6.2%. what you need to keep in mind is that this is an economy growing in 2012.0% nominal in 2012.minal what that means for the rest of the world is something we are waiting to see play out. joe: you recently wrote a note in which you talked about some of the imbalances in the world, specifically that emerging markets are financially exposed to the u.s., but economically explodes to china. one way to re-synchronize growth is to come out of commodity exporters to source a larger -- whenof their funding
4:37 pm
you mean specifically? >> i mean for a company like bh , it might make more sense to borrow in remember the -- rem minbi. what happens to the price of your exports, your stock, will depend to a significant degree on what china growth is doing. i think it makes sense under those circumstances to try to cap the remminbi market. that's one the reasons why they find them in the predicaments they do now. what do you think the prospects are for a full liberalization of the remminbi
4:38 pm
or massive devaluation in the coming years. how negative with that be for global markets, particularly risk markets? -- theyliberalization have already set out their goals, which are going to be to allow more outflows through accepted channels, which makes sense, because it is an economy twoe investors now have options, domestic real estate, and domestic stock. so what that means is that you need to allow the chinese people more access to offshore investment opportunities, but do so that it does not conceal capital flight. >> is that what we have been seeing? the treasury estimates capital outflows to be around $280 billion in july and august, so your opinion is that there is something else going on? >> what we are seeing from the
4:39 pm
data is that essentially chinese corporations and banks are running a very large offshore trade. if you look at overseas corporate barring, both -- borrowing, both banks -- one of the important things we are trying to gauge is to what extent the capital outflows represent asset liability matching, and to what extent the represent money just leaving for political reasons, anticorruption campaign and stuff like that. the anecdotal suggests a lot of capital flight, but the hard numbers to the extent we see them suggests it is liability matching. >> interesting. what is different about this round of upcoming fiscal spending that the government will embark on versus the last allocation of capital following the financial crisis. how is it going to be different? >> it is not going to be as much.
4:40 pm
the scale is going to be very different. conscious that you have had a huge credit expansion , significant overcapacity, which contributes to deflationary pressures. there is very little willingness to do something like that on a very large scale. this,re talking about things like raising the social safety net, which reduces the need for cautionary savings. some targeted stuff in terms of the environment, maybe a little bit of infrastructure. time. bang like last they can't afford it. >> thank you so much. up, a conversation on demographics. that is next. ♪

business/. let's toss it over to joe and london. the boe monetary policy committee, good heart. joe: i spoke with charles goodhart. i asked him about his there he if inflation and interest rates may be coming to an end. let's take a listen. >> it is basically about demographics, population trends. we have had the world's biggest , a hugeitive supply increase in the availability of labor. that came as a result of demographic changes. women started have far fewer babies. populations in most countries, 30% under the age of 60. that has fallen way down.
4:45 pm
having fewer and fewer babies. it is below the rates at which population reproduces itself in many countries. that meant that the ratio of workers to people who are dependent on the workers improved and the sense there were far more workers. it wasn't until relatively recently that you got a lot more of the older people coming along as longevity increase and standard ages. china ande arrival of the ending of the soviet union, and the arrival of eastern europe. all the workers there became available. -- a huge hugely increase in supply relative to demand. so this huge boom in labor basically in your view diminished labor bargaining ,ower and decreased wages
4:46 pm
depressed inflation everywhere, and now you see that turning around. >> yes. the ratio of the old to workers is increasing. the age of death is being continually pushed off. live, yourhat you expectation of life increases i six hours, which i think is a bit extreme, but nevertheless the ratio of those over 65 to those between the ages of 20-65 is going to increase absolutely dramatically. joe: in addition to the new supply of labor we have seen in recent decades. we have seen other things, policies designed to weaken unions in the united states and u.k. have policynt decisions diminished labor bargaining power rather than demographics? >> only very slightly. what really menaced labor's the abilityower was
4:47 pm
to say that if you will continually demand increases of wages, i will ship the production operations to china or poland or wherever. that threat was real. that meant that labor lost its power. joe: when will we know if you are right? two years? five years? at what point can we say this is clearly what's going on or the thesis is not bearing out? >> probably not for about 10 years. in the short run, all these long-run trends get overtaken by short-term factors. slowdown,ment, china decline commodity prices, the effect of that on the emerging markets. so there is a lot of stuff that will determine what happens to
4:48 pm
the world economy in the next 3-4 years. it will be 10 year before these demographic trends are clear. think we will you see another explosion of labor supply out of india and africa? >> we could. there could be a huge number of growth in africa and india. the problem is that well they could in principle become the china of the coming age, you need quite a lot of conditions to make that happen. you've got to have quite effective government, a working population with pretty good skills, basic mathematical skills, the ability to write and read and all the rest of it, and you got to have decent infrastructure, and a country where the administration works effectively.
4:49 pm
all that was available in asia. it is dubious whether it will be available -- ,> it's not just about supply there have to be other conditions in place. joe: much more on my conversation with charles goodhart after the break. ♪

4:52 pm
all the easy to achieve technological advances have been ,ade and that technology technological growth, will slow down from here on in. there are others who have talked about artificial intelligence that say that will lead to an explosion. in: a ton of attention recent years for focusing so much on inequality, but if it is as do in large part to this demographic story, do you think he will be proving desperate and wrong? few thatone of the bought his book and read it through the in. joe: what did you think? >> the data on inequality is extremely good. in fact, i don't know of anyone who has done the data better. joe: what did he get wrong? >> his claim is that there is
4:53 pm
some inherent law whereby the return to capital is always greater than the great of growth. that is just not so. the return to capital has been so high in recent decades because when labor becomes superabundant suddenly, it's price goes down and b comes relatively scarce and you get a higher rated returned, so it has been a wonderful 30 years for capitalists, senior managers, because of the availabilities. joe: i want to change gears. paper in a fantastic the late 1990's that spelled out all the trouble the eurozone would have in identifying the way government power and the ability to create money were being divorced by the eurozone. looking at it now, are we going to have a eurozone in 10 years? 2025her be a year old in euro and 225?

4:55 pm
to fix some of the structural flaws they have? >> it is a horrible combination of politics and economics. the germans argued that if you are going to have a single fiscal system which provides you with stabilization, you have to have political union before hand, and they want political union and are prepared to be part of a political union. the problem is that many of the other important countries such as france would like to have some degree of fiscal centralization, but they don't want a political union. there is a standoff. not very much is being done. joe: we will be right back with what you need to know to gear up for tomorrow's trading day. ♪
