2:06 pm
begin. it is a high-yield rally. >> i am worried about a high-yield rally. it is a little overdone. if you look at the index, which has moved something like 13 points since a very 11, you have to -- february 11, you have to wonder what is in it. yield look at the 7.5% and you say, that looks attractive relative to zero ,nterest rates glop -- broadly you can look at negative interest rates, and treasuries, that is appealing. but then you see there is not many components of the trade at the level of the index trade. what is comprised of is a number 5% of all, 4% or sorts of risk because it goes up. for individual credit, volume. at the other end, things are trading 15% or 20% which is more theoretical because people know they are not going to be paying
2:07 pm
15%. eric: what will shut the rally down? joshua: the pullback seems to be driven by flows these days. you can track them pretty closely with respect to mutual funds and eds. eric: what we saw in january and february was pretty much liquidity issues. it was a buyers strike. what will motivate buyers to go on strike ? joshua: you have 5 billion of outflows. we will monitor the outflow structure, it was very different prior to the financial crisis. precrisis you had 10% of the market existing of daily liquidity and etf funds. that is now a quarter of the market figure. that event, you had investment banks and other traders regulating bankers who are making markets and posing a lot of inventory and making a
2:08 pm
smooth. today you have got almost four times as many dollars held by mutual funds and atms, and if they get a redemption, they have to sell. you have a lot less capital being devoted to market making, so the price volatility gets driven by flows. eric: so a firm like yours was built to invest in markets like these. what about these usual funds? joshua: the model has created a greater mismatch of that. if they are interested in doing credit investing, i have probably seen at any time in my career since 1990. eric: you have been running since 1990, and then the address before. joshua: it is about liquidity. i read a statistic of over 30% of the high-yield market were names that had not traded at all this year. percentage, a larger
2:09 pm
percentage have not traded in the last month. equation ifetty bad your a mutual fund manager and suddenly you have to reorient your portfolio because you have redemptions, or you have to go by things. eric: does that mean we will see more third avenues? i think it is possible. you'll get securities that are completely disentangled with credit quality. it will have little to do with credit quality and more with flows. eric: so what do you see now? bifurcationribe the of the high-yield market to those prices? are they credit fundamentals, strong or weak? joshua: it is a strange mix of things that are trading too tight and things that will not get paid off. the whole composition of the market, realize what growth is. you have to go back a little bit. you have got many, many people
2:10 pm
with fixed incomes we used to put money in bond funds and expect to get a yield from those and would live off of them. in a kind of a market, it is not surprising money would flow into high-yield funds because nothing else has any other yields. and within those high-yield funds, that encouraged issuers to have that money to borrow, and particularly that lower grade issuers periods of the partsion of the triple c of the market, people are seeking yields. eric: and covenant erosion. joshua: and that as well. cere are now over 1300 triple . covenants get bad when money is competing. eric: what will change that? as long as we live in the zero, low u.s. or negative rates as we have seen in japan and europe, and investors are reaching for
2:11 pm
yield, what is going to change that? what will stop covenants from eroding? joshua: it is that triple c issue. you see people trying to have a fund that will work hard and his high yield, and it goes down and reverses quickly. the unwind over let's quickly. it was pretty severe. high-yield market was down most of 5% last year, and then another month and a quarter this year. it can unwind very violently and unpleasantly. eric: is there anything attractive in this environment? joshua: it is a credit figures type of the market. picker's type of market. you have to be quite careful. there is many areas that were very cheap.
2:12 pm
some of them are still cheap. others have bounded and are not cheap. eric: what about energy? joshua: the things that have driven the market our energy crisis and flows of capital. energy crisis, the problem historically was a lot of high-yield issuers, but not high-grade. the high-yield issuers get into markets and say, a year ago, in many cases those in securities probably stacked up poorly. you needed good commodity performance to make a lot of those securities perform. gothen oil went down, they crops. and then it rebounded. it is still questionable. the higher end of that market is still quality. eric: what about volatility in general? if you look at oil prices, you , thethe kind of volatility
2:13 pm
wrap and rebound we saw in the first quarter is going to become more of the norm? think so. you have an economy where people ,cknowledge it is slow provisions have been down and not up. you have all of the questions about china and the effect slower growth might have on the u.s., and you have a very rapid pace of technological displacement of certain industries. ,he big issuers of high-yield those businesses have changes in their models. eric: are you buying or selling on balance? joshua: we were buying a lot prior to february 11, and we have been selling more recently. eric: that is josh friedman, co-ceo at canyon partners. david: coming up, we go back to las vegas with t boone pickens. ahead, macy's is cutting

the corporate bond boom signaling the top. we have the reporter from within the fixed global income team at goldman sachs. comment on the size of that and where we are in the cycle as you see it. seeing many signs of late stages in the credit cycle. also of issuance, mna, and the increase in leverage not supported by earnings. we are getting concerned credit mighbe overdone. one interesting sign usually to bring up new deal in the bond market similar to what dell is trying to do, you need to give a concession to investors. incentivescessive -- for people to invest. right now there is so much yield, you actually have to pay. you get less yield. about i may ask high-yield. a littlehe rally was
2:23 pm
overdone. do you agree with that? michael: a little more than overdone. we are in environment yielded six really important -- is extremely important. investors and their money have to pay to keep their money at a bank. we are in an environment where everything is possible for investors. we are concerned there is too much money chasing assets. if you look at the high-yield market in particular, high-yield markets. of two you have a lot of companies yielding very little, 4%, not very attractive. and others a part the high-yield universe are energy companies that you see 15% yields, but investors know [indiscernible] investing, you are going to be exposed to commodities, and they will remain of agree -- a degree above volatility. we talking about
2:24 pm
inflation popping up across europe. what is the significance of that? michael: it is another sign of demand for yields. you have the ecb has been sucking everybody in saying, we what drives yield down, we will buy everything, so go ahead and make loans to country like spain and italy that are much more and challenges from an economic perspective versus germany. they are enticing them by saying go ahead and buy it, because we will make money. you can get it and very cheap rates. now your talking about a 50 year bond for spain. i don't think the ecb is going to buy 50 year bonds. you are actually relying on the credit quality of spain. david: do you think we will see that in the u.s.? michael: there have been longer issuance.
2:25 pm
mr. -- mexico, other countries. , it makes a issue lot of sense for countries with rates so low to take advantage of it. not stays., rates will down forever. it is a good idea for the treasury to extend. david: what are your thoughts on market complacency? we are still focused on china and europe, a lot of undermining factors. forael: yield is not free investors. usually give something up or take a risk. if you invest in u.s. treasuries, investors outside u.s. like them because they are positive areas but there is risk. you look at the job market, we are starting to see wage pressures in the u.s. economy and the fed looking to continue to raise rates albeit relatively slowly. that is nothing to be a great
2:26 pm
investment -- that does not seem to be a great investment when you have those yields behind you. so the investors are not factoring in the risk. on the corporate side, there is factors.other significant leverage, earnings slowing down, and you have an environment where the economy is growing ok, but it is not supportive of significant growth. we think right now, the people that are continuing to invest in the corporate credit environment will be in the future. david: thank you so much. sachs.rom goldman commodities close coming up. ♪ [ soft music ]

♪ david: this is "bloomberg markets." one company is betting against dish network. they are using $100 million in a new fund aimed at shorting a single stock. bloomberg broke the story last week, shares of dish have been on a tear. they are 60% to 80% to time -- too high. >> i am here with the founder and cio of paris field capital management. let's look at this serious short. what is your reason? >> why it is worth so much less,
2:45 pm
most of dish's value is from a spectrum. it loses the spectrum in three years. so the company that is valued based on one asset, loses that asset. so two things will happen. it you loses this force spectrum in march 2020, or the buyers, at&t and verizon, they don't need that spectrum, they will waited out six to eight years, they will bid it out much lower than what the market currently sits. so the stock's work a lot less. -- is worth a lot less. this is basically technology that has not been developed yet. or value.ing off how can you talk about spectrum for something that is not a this? sahm: it is nonstandard.
2:46 pm
twos getting built in systems. dish is the only company that owns this type of spectrum. bought it fromn makers and build out the ecosystem for the spectrum, but they know it, and they've been much lower prices for the nonstandard spectrum than a standard spectrum. w cfen at&t bought the spectrum, it became different. you see stock prices in the low teens and high single digits. alix: say they will need that, but they do not need to pay a premium to get it. sahm: and dish will get that spectrum -- lose it in three years. the carriers to purchase that spectrum. and we lay out why this deadline is real on the website www.m
2:47 pm
akespectrumgreatagain.com. thaty of the alternative they will extend their own deadlines. in 2012, they spectrum,satellite to the problem with the fcc was that they would build it out. it has not been either of those things. it has been, the thing that might occur, given the eight year deadline to actually build up the spectrum or it would go back to the government. and that deadline will be stuck, and this will not be able to choose 70% coverage in the united states is the next 3.5 years. alix: but that deadline is not new. there may or may not be a buildup. even if they were partnering some kind of infrastructure, we would not know about it. so has that moved? sahm: it is certain to creep up
2:48 pm
on people. , fiveears ago, four years years before deadlines, four years before the deadline, the market can be more complacent. but now it is creeping up. and now there is only two buyers, at&t and verizon. they do not need to spectrum, and the deadline is around the quarter. the thing is, there is a lot more to erase if dish loses its spectrum. alix: but don't they need to spectrum? today with the burgeoning lte, probably not. that we are not making voice calls. i am creating a video and downloading it and sending it to you. it is a whole new world of spectrum. that is what dish really has. sahm: technology has caught up to me that. you are seeing lte today at a lower spectral efficient technology than previously.
