5:06 am
guest, jamesn our bevan. we need to talk about the turmoil. is some bargain hunting out there. the drop in equities has been so strong and fast, what are people worried about? the markets are crazy because they are not looking at the fundamental. partially right. we are seeing disappointing earnings numbers from the companies and that is upsetting investors. there is the risk of contagion from the emerging economies. i do not agree that negative interest rates are good for consumption. i think they are corrosive for the global financial system and
5:07 am
will lead to a reduction in credit. that is a concern. i would conclude equities --. japan, it has been markets.5 weeks in the are realizing this might not be a good idea for the banks. i think the doj's experiment was interesting. you do something normally powerful and it is drowned in the fact that the market is assessed with one thing, what is going to be the stance of the six months.ext there's nothing you can do in tokyo and frankfurt that will upset this uncertainty. you are making more calm -- life more complicated for banks. things go worse in japan or
5:08 am
europe, the response should be lowered deficit rates, you have to wonder whether we are in counterproductive territory. not giving an opinion on negative rates, rather the suggestion that we will hear this from janet yellen, the idea that more negative rates is part of their toolkit. james bevan, i need you to confront deutsche bank's rush to getting fixed. bring up the long-term chart. desperation of deutsche bank is tangible. they are going to use liquidity to buy back their best paper. explain why they would do that. are trying to put a floor under the loss of confidence attached to the outlook for deutsche bank as a business. believe weying we should demonstrate confidence in
5:09 am
the business. i find it interesting. i look at the work you do in terms of insider buying, where senior staff of entities by their own shares. we see a lot of that in the states. we have not seen that in deutsche bank. that is an important step forward in terms of enhancing confidence. tom: a lot of people in london care about it. we care about it because we want to see there is a mismatch between the market valuation and what the business owner believes. if you explore that a little longer, there is a mismatch, but it goes back to whether you think markets are leading the way. in past crises, markets latch onto something. it becomes a self fulfilling. thewhether you believe markets are --. james: i think the people are
5:10 am
close to businesses, have an understanding of what is going on in their businesses. ownhey buy back their shares, they are making a firm statement about the expectation that the future net value of their company is greater than the current share price. that is an important signal. have mergers and acquisitions, we have businesses say the market is wrong, it is too cheap. if you do not want to price it properly, we will. francine: david morgan chase found negative interest rates could go further negative without impacting bank profitability. gilles: one of the reasons i the wrong instrument is not because the negative rate
5:11 am
has a direct impact through excess reserves and you tax the banks. the problem is, it is more pervasive than that. by taking the rate further into negative territory, you take the market rate further down and you eat the interest rate margin of banks. we are in a situation, as we in a fairlyanks are -- situation in europe. at the beginning of last year, we had the sense there was a sense of nominal is a short bank behavior. nominal was a sense of nominal bank behavior. janet yellen and her comments before congress.

heineken expects more volatility in certain markets. beer sales and oil -- in oil-producing countries like russia and nigeria have been falling. shares of disney are falling in premarket trading. they posted record sales in earnings -- and earnings in the fourth quarter, but investors are focusing on sliding profits at espn. that is the latest bloomberg business flash. tom: very good. really quite interesting day. day three of deutsche bank. it is a good time to talk to fred lane, who has a little bit of experience on this. he is working in management, lane generational. he has an esteemed career at credit suisse, and who for that -- and before that, with donald luskin. flow --een the end and
6:42 am
the ebb and flow of trust and confidence. fred: you look at deutsche bank's situation, and they are in a world of hurt right now. tom: bring up the chart. if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck. i understand we are going to rationalize that. does a grizzled pro like you put an asterisk next to this because they have an action all -- because they have a national -- there is no jamie dimon, no lehman equivalency. at some point in time, it will be back to own deutsche bank. i do not make those bets unless i see some visibility of return. but that will happen. it is just a question of when. there is always periodicity. how long does it take a bet to
6:43 am
pay off? if it takes five or eight years, it will probably not be a very good investment. i want to invest in great companies with great margins, great fundamentals, that frankly, despite being buffeted by the kind of market we are in now, are going to allow us to justify what we are doing, feel comfortable, and know that in two or three years, these companies will trade at higher values. they may trade at substantially higher values at any period of time where the market is flat. go out three years, five years, whatever it might be, there are a number of companies, usually 100 or more, who have appreciated at 15% on an annual basis. a --rr appreciates in green mountain coffee for many years. francine: what is deutsche bank
6:44 am
were to be taken out in some kind of m&a merger either from a european bank or from the u.s.? fred: it is hard to know. i do not see a u.s. bank wanting to wade into that. they will have to work it out over time. they may need to be selling assets. going tonk they are have to basically slowly work their way out of this, as has been the case with the u.s. banks, by and large. vonnie: what about energy? anything attractive there? fred: i have never been much of an energy investor. i do not like exhaustion us factors that i do not understand, or a commodity market underlying performance of companies. this is getting compelling. at some point in time we will wade into the energy patch. right now we are steering clear. how longion is time -- will it take for the energy
6:45 am
patch to turn around? tom: one of the great shifts recently is cash is cash, the theoretical construct of cash within investment mathematics and finance. the new idea of cash as an asset asset an investable class. we did not study that, did we? fred: if you look at structurally the market going forward, and you look at the persistence of low interest rates, and the demographics driving low interest rates -- and i have said this before -- you have to look at the u.s. equity markets being the attractive market. where else do you put your money? do you want to invest in a 10-year treasury with a 2% yield? i certainly do not. persistently, equities will outperform. however, you have to have the stomach for it.
6:46 am
the emotional challenges that make this game very difficult. francine: because you are expecting a lot more volatility? say the valuation seems attractive, but given the fact that one day it is up 5%, the other it is down 10%, you may want to wait. fred: that is exactly what is happening. people are pulling out of the equity markets. we find ourselves, having more cash than we are generally used -- aving tom: do you own the american banks? fred: we can. i do not find it compelling right now. we have to have the higher interest rates for the banks to make the kind of money that they make. who is calling you looking for advice?
6:47 am
fred: we have pretty sophisticated clients. most of them come from pretty sophisticated backgrounds. they are not in panic mode. i am concerned because i do not want to sit there and just blithely say everything is fine, everything is going to be great. it will be. but it is a question of emotional damage being done day today, month-to-month. you in theo talk to real world. i agree. coming up tomorrow on "bloomberg surveillance," we will be joined by the imf director of monetary affairs. he was warning about dollar-denominated debt, especially in oil-producing countries. that was at -- that is at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow in london. ♪

the elephant in the room, what has not moved, 6.57 on yen. scathing over the lack of activity by the beijing government. let's get to our single best chart. this is a great chart. this is an american chart. we do this after new hampshire as we go on to south carolina. you just said new hamster. it is very unfair to president carter. he never said the phrase with high inflation, and then up we go to a modest malaise of a 10-13-year period. when you look at that, fred, is it a vector up that you have to be in equities, or can you try to figure out when the malaise happens?

latter.od luck on the it is hard to time the market. it is hard to know -- this market, by the way, harkening back to earlier parts of the conversation -- this is not somebody we have a rational discussion with. market, be rational, cooperate with my feelings. the market behaves the way the market behaves, and timing is difficult. in a market like this, should investors be plunging in, confident that it is all going to work out? the truth is, it probably could, but they will not. too -- whod i are else was in there? it was like a must-read on wall street. it was the doj book. it was the same stuff today. should your clients -- should

vonnie or i or francine be reading economics removed from investment decisions? fred: we all do it. we live in a world -- tom: we are still listening to john riding. sure. i do not let it drive my decision-making, however. ultimately i have to have a point of view, a process, and i have to believe in growth companies, and i have to be convinced that their business model is pretty were surrounded competitivelyning they are strong. and i have to believe in the long run that they will be rewarded for their growth, and they will be. there is no question about it. history proves that out over and over again. call it a variant on the warren buffett model, but if you own 12 or 15 or 16 stocks and you follow them closely and you know them very well, you have to know them, you have to do your homework. then you will end up with good

results in my opinion. francine: are we going to see a lot more bankruptcies? this was something that the imf put out, saying that it was dollar-denominated, that smaller oil companies have their debt issued in dollars. this will start hurting. will we see this this year, or will the cheap money prop them up? fred: i think we are seeing it already. cheap money will not be lent to companies in trouble. we do not want to put bad money after good money. i think there will be bankruptcies, and there is a restructuring already ongoing in the energy patch. it will not only be the energy companies, but he will be the upstream company's, the downstream companies, and their suppliers. vonnie: you were saying growth companies have a moat around that. on 2015 -- a lock fred: it is changing. when we see earnings per share
