week and opportunities within emerging markets. we have the eponymous jack welch himself, who is the former chairman and ceo of general electric. inching ever toward a record. alix: let's take a deeper dive into the weakness we are seeing across the board. the nasdaq closing at a record. futures are soft. if you look at what is going on in europe, it is flat or down. we have negative pmi out of the eurozone, manufacturing inching higher. with the services in germany are getting hit hard. that is weighing relatively across the board in europe. in the fx market, the dollar goes nowhere. it is higher versus the yen, higher versus the qe, higher versus sterling and dollar yen during it. goes nowhere after a two mulch was week. brent is having an interesting move today. it was off by 1%, bounced into

positive territory, now relatively flat. the bloomberg commodity index is now down .2%. you will have to go out on the curve duration. take a look at the 10-year. that is coming down by maybe one bit, but really the rally into the long-duration anywhere you can get it -- whether it is you k, sweden -- here in -- whether it is the u k, sweden -- here in the u.s. is where it is at. they have the opportunity if they want it. david: i'm sure it will be very clear, though. we will talk with jack welch, the former ge chairman, now executive chairman of the jack welch management institute. welcome to "bloomberg ." it was a very weak -- a very big week for the fed.

the markets reacted to my question is, are the central banks creating a climate that fosters business growth and development of new business? they are trying, but they are pushing against a bunch of regulators who are not doing anything. they are pushing against their own big fat governments. they are not doing anything to slim down and become more competitive. i think they are doing their jobs, but they are pushing against a new here because they do not have the authority to change the regulatory environment, change the fiscal environment, so they are stuck. they are playing in the weeds. david: when you are running general electric, i am sure the cost of capital was important to you. does that free up the ceo to be able to invest? we do not see a lot of capital spending. jack: the demand is not there

because the jobs really are not there. it is all demand. an entrepreneur with a new idea, feeling a new niche -- you are not just going to sit there and let's build cheap, another factory, but nobody is coming to buy it. alix: is this the right use for capital right now? is still growing, but not at the capex is still growing, but not at the rate where there are buybacks. jack: you will not get a robust economy when you have regulators whacking you every day. there are more regulators than there are bankers. we are being inundated as a result of the 2008 crisis, in banks and every other -- you go around the u.s. and there is a regulator on every corner. david: i can understand why the

constraining the businesses. is it also constraining demand? play that through. jack: it does not create good jobs. we have 10% unemployment. alix: but that has been coming down. underemployment. jack: it is 10%, and the jobs we are creating our lousy jobs. we are not creating jobs like we were with fracking, etc. alix: the link here is that unit labor costs will rise. at some point investors will not be hiring, they will increase productivity. that will spur demand and the economy. that has not been playing out. from running a company for decades, why isn't that working out right now? jack: demand. alix: it is aggregate demand, not an oversupply issue? jack: i do not think so. it is a demand issue. people are frightened.

they are not spending. retail sales are very modest. are operatingnts at very low capacities, below 80. david: coming back to jobs, you thet out that 9% is underemployment number, not the 4.9%. how much of that is because of technology? technology has changed the nature of the jobs and are creating structural unemployment problems. jack: that is something we do not have the answer to her new can get an economist in the closet who can come out with a mix of that number, but i cannot do it. david: a lot of economists -- alix: a lot of economists now are saying you need stimulus. that that will solve all the problems. is it going to, if it is cyclical? if it is structural, that will not make it and -- that will not make a dent.

david: we need less -- jack: we need less government. along with infrastructure, we cannot agree on infrastructure. and productivity is very low. , etc.lk about automation -- if automation were doing that much for us, we would have higher productivity. alix: that is an issue, too. are we miss measuring productivity? ,here we are getting the gains bringing into the efficacy of can you trust the economic data, the data that we get with gdp? i did not like it in 2012. jack: i still do not like it very much. we have real problems. we change it every week. we change the way we measure, we change jobs, gdp. who knows right now? david: let me ask you the unanswerable question. if you had faced, during your

time at ge, the sort of regulatory burden you have now, could you have created ge into what it was? coulda, i don't know. let's say we had a pretty nice environment in the 1980's and 1990's. the wind was at our backs. we were slugging it out -- those who are slugging it out now do not have the wind at their backs. david: we will come back and talk with jack welch, executive chairman now of the jack welch management institute. we want to get an update on what is making headlines outside the business world. we turn to emma chandra with first word news. demonstrations in charlotte, north carolina, stayed peaceful on the third night. a curfew was imposed. show a black man shot by police.

difficulty john stumpf is having. would you give the ceo faced with that magnitude of the crisis? jack: when you are facing a crisis, when you first hear , one, it is always worse than the first message. they waited a while to give you the first message, and what you get is still under the radar. still -- secondly, there are still no secrets. as you face the problem, the whole world is going to know. third, you have to know that you will be portrayed in the worst possible light. the media will choke you, beat you to a pulp. be prepared for that. realize that you have to take positive action and project a view of the future, and you have got to understand that it is going to have to be blood on the floor. blood will spill.

what do you do as ceo to fundamentally change a culture? jack: you can never let anybody they want toay spend more time with the family. if they have done something that you hang it out there, lawyers will say do not do that, hr people may yell don't do that. do it. it sends a better message. with personnel around bad behavior does more to establish a culture than good behavior. great rewards for those that have the right culture, public hangings for those that do not. alix: that is the jack welch roadmap. david: jack welch will be with us for the rest of the hour. alix: coming up, president --ogan says credit ratings he does not care if it cuts to junk. this is bloomberg. ♪

david: this is "bloomberg ." "morning must-read" is actually a morning must watch. president erdogan said the central bank was right to cut interest rates and that it should keep going. central banklast cuts as a steady, careful, and balanced cut. because it is not right to make sudden moves up or down that could contain some violence, that could create a tremor in the economy. but i believe it will be beneficial to continue this thisily, and right now administration of the central bank, since they took office, they have been carrying out a

cut, taking into consideration a special interest rate policy of the government. and i think this is an important signal, especially for investors. my hope is that the other banks will take the signal, that the central bank has given, that they also heated and accordingly -- that they also heeded and accordingly brought to investors. john: you are an economist. surely you are a bit worried about inflation at 8%. it is not really a time to cut interest rates. when you came in, inflation was much higher, at 70%. but still, 8% is higher. surely, cutting interest rates is a bit dangerous. >> in turkey, before we took

over the office, we had seen inflation exceeds three digits. when we took over the office, the inflation was very high. around 30%, and then the interest rates were to be around 63%. , the officialover inflation rate started going down. throughout the protests, the interest rates reached 4.6%. rates at thatst , and the real interest rate being at that level, pulled inflation down. let me say something. i do not see inflation as being inversely correlated with interest rates. it is exactly the opposite.

i see inflation and interest rates as directly correlated. if you raise interest rates, inflation will rise that much. however much you cut interest rates, inflation will start to fall with that. for my 14 years as prime minister and president, i follow this. i have seen this. rates, see banks raise inflation has gone up. when we cut them, inflation has gone down. even now, when i look at the measures being taken. if inflation is falling, it is because interest rates are falling. otherwise, these things are about the basket and so on, these are the things that impact these issues so much. this is my belief. david: that is president erdogan of turkey per joining me now is john micklethwait,, who did that interview. also, jack welch is with us. he likes lower interest rates. inflation going on there.

does he need higher interest rates? john: that is what i put in my poor man's david westin way to him. he genuinely believes that if you bring interest rates down, you bring inflation down. that is almost the opposite for monetary orthodoxy. he tends to see himself as the german ceo of turkey. alix: that comes with a cost, right? is he worried about that kind of effect from something like that? john: his view is the rating agency is politically motivated, and who cares almost. it is not quite that. i asked him, do you mind? he said i do not care about it. rewarding others what

he calls bad economies, not looking after him. from the point of view of investors, they will look at this and say you have a bit of an inflation problem. secondly, you have problems to do with the purge. a lot of people have been removed from their jobs all the way across the sector, including the central bank. finally, you have the problem with credit. they have done this very strange thing of having historically been somebody who has encouraged saving in a somewhat. tentacle way through his government is now -- in a somewhat puritanical way. his government is now saying -- david: jack, when you ran ge, you invested in more than one in emerging market. h this sort ofig geopolitical risk? now, looksy, right

like a place if you made an investment, you are taking a huge risk with the political instability, the geopolitical risk all around you. that is when you get the big hit. is, everyone is guts and upon your own the balance of the risk-reward that you see. if you see a better one than the other guy, you win. if you bet wrong, you get hammered. john: you think the currency alone has meant that it has gone down 40%? that means you can get into turkey cheaper than you did before. look, i runs -- this thing, we have this very near miss, i have rounded up 100,000 people effectively in terms of people being pushed out of jobs, some into jail, often in ways we might find deplorable. but, look, i am back in charge

and we will make this work. he is still very much like vladimir putin. he is still very popular. alix: the pitch to investors, the risk-reward -- we are getting growth somewhere. thank you very much, john micklethwait. it was great to have you bring that to us. jack welch come you are sticking with us throughout the hour. more "bloomberg " is up next. this is bloomberg. futures are pointing to a lower open. ♪

be, if not an play, certainly open to strategic alternatives? the viacom situation is another we are involved with that would not be appropriate to talk about here. that situation is more about getting the ownership and the governance set appropriately so the company can move forward back to the fundamental profile. the media industry is not just about the deal flow, it is about investing in the consumer, changing the model of education. trying to figure out the best way to get the the consumer, around the traditional models of the cable satellite infrastructure. the consumer is the customer that demands accountability at any time. sometimes it needs scale. that is where they media mergers and acquisitions come in, so that we can get more scale. alix: liberty media was talking yesterday about certain deals, pandora moving in the wrong direction. can you give us any insight as

regulatory constraint, consolidations of power. i think that will be an increasing trend. alix: and what areas does media have that room for consolidation trend in western europe? aryeh: defragmentation sits in the entire areas -- content industry has a $500 million market value. the content industry has to consolidate, whether it is in or within one region the industry, or with the technology companies and the distribution companies. the other part of it are the european distribution players, british telecom, telefonica, itv , etc. those companies are very fragmented. those companies are ripe more consolidation. david: consolidation is one thing, but what about growth? you will not have a lot of growth overall in europe.

what about china, or india? aryeh: there is not a lot of growth around the industry because a lot of these companies are in transition models. think you will start to see more investments into the r&d budget, into disruption and new business models, which will take a while for the shareholders to see, but it is the right thing to do for these companies. forget the consolidation. go back to the business model and say how can you unlock the potential of these models? the marketplace is ripe for that. rates are low. they should be coming back into their own marketplace. alix: we are having a steeper yield curve over the last few weeks. the ipm markets are much more open than they were at the beginning of the year. does that change the m&a landscape? aryeh: the m&a landscape has had record highs over the last two years.

you don't think hillary clinton is inaccurate? david: do you think they are equally inaccurate? jack: absolutely. we have two platforms. mrs. clinton chose to go left, not center. she raised the state tax to 65%. we will see how those high wealth voters think about that. alix: the issue that donald trump has, he is not republican. his policies are very much more on the left-hand side of the page. how do you reconcile that? jack:'s social policies are that way, and i like that. his fiscal policies are down the road republican. obama-plus is going to do that? obama took the federal deficit and doubled it. he created more deficit in his eight years then all presidents

combined since the beginning of the republic. isn you have -- and she going to do over-plus. -- she is going to do obama-plus. i think we have a better chance with a businessman cutting costs than we do another politician. david: what about his lack of experience in foreign affairs? he will say some controversial things, off-the-cuff. does it worry you when he is the leader of the western world, that that could get us in real trouble? jack: no. i think he will be a solid, thoughtful guy. look what he did with mexico put was that a positive or a negative? it was positive. do you want elizabeth warren and bernie sanders running your country? that is what you get with mrs. clinton. talking aboutare

help us with another story here. o'neill has resigned from the uk government apparently because it had something to do with a disagreement with theresa may over china. it's indicative of what is happening and the confusion that surrounds the policies coming out of number 10 downing street. whent an idea back in july they had a front page on the idea that he was not happy the way that's with the way theresa may was handling china. i don't think this was a particularly all caps secret. that's well-kept secret. particularly well-kept secret.

alix: this is "bloomberg ." oil is declining 1% today. theyaudi's have said that -- isd to freeze output it about the opec meeting on monday? is this a risk on rally? for more, let's bring in harry tchilinguirian from bnc perry pearibas.bnc is it risk on, is it opec? harry: good morning. i think the oil prices benefited

from the fed. we got the department of energy showing crude oil stock draws once again for a second consecutive week. oil caught a break. the next big thing coming up is a producer meeting in algiers. there will be a second one coming in vienna in november. alix: the saudi's came out and said we would cut production to 3.6 million barrels a day it iran freezes there's. theirs.an freezes harry: there's been a lot of talk by producers. in reference to those particular soundings coming out of the saudi around talk, in the end, it's no sweat of their back to say they will cut production because their production seasonally decline.

the question is whether iran wants to freeze production. they have said repeatedly that their pre-sanction level of output is closer to 4 million barrels a day. i don't think their agendas are aligned and it will be difficult for them to come to an agreement. take a look at the terminal here. you can look at long positions versus short -- long positions come down a little bit, short positions come down a little bit. aat is the potential for shakeout if we walk away from monday and tuesday and nothing happens. ? positioning has not changed that much. the market has adapted its positioning by adding worth tracking short positions. when the market felt the producers were not going to do anything and prices were going to fall, they added to their short position.

when producers talked up the price, there was a short squeeze in those positions were reduced. the market will still operate along the same line. if we don't get anything out of algiers, growth positions will increase and we will wait for the next opec meeting in november. alix: iran does not want to freeze until they reach these pre-sanction levels. there's been question about what this pretension levels are. is it export or production or actual market share? they're relatively close to that level. it's just market share were they have had a hard time not being able to boost their sharing your. if iran wants crude oil market share that was available to them pre-sanctions, since production has moved on higher,

the amount they would have to produce to maintain the same percentage of market share would be much higher. they are aiming to produce higher to recapture what they had before. there's no way they want to come to a deal to freeze production in any way. is that a fair assessment? harry: i think that is completely fair. when you look at the agendas of the different countries come iran is not prepared to freeze until it recaptures its market share. saudi will not do anything unless iran does something. iraq has reengaged with international oil companies to expand production and capacity in their southern oilfields in terms of other opec producers, their production has been affected by domestic unrest.

it will be difficult to find a collaborative solution here. what is the downside potential we could see next week versus the upside when we need higher prices to meet that demand? harry: in terms of the market reaction, we have been here before. producers have disappointed. how many times do they have to disappoint until the market gets up and essentially goes much lower? the market will still be on hold waiting for what happens in november in vienna. look forward in terms of the price outlook, we think returning to 40 and possibly below is more distinct possibility that going above 50. below 40 before going above 50. able call. i like it. that's a bold call. i like it. david: should investors prepare

extremely difficult to implement well. coordinate with monetary policy and make sure it has a significant impact. the single most likely outcome of fiscal stimulus is inflation. you start to see even stronger tightening labor slack. alix: isn't that the worst thing that could happen to the markets? that could shake out the rest of the assets. jim: if this ran a normal business cycle, you are 100% right. over investment in capital. what has been really hurting this market is a four year earnings recession. earnings growth has been zero since 2012. if we start to see reflation, it could alleviate the downward pressure on margins and

alix: joining us now is jim caron. you have alan greenspan the bond bear. bond bears have not done well. is that old playbook the correct playbook? jim: it so far has been for this year. the market will be reacting on muscle memory. people don't really know what the bank of japan is up to. there's a lot of disagreement on what they said. the default position has been to say interest rates will stay low, the fed was more dovish in terms of moving down there.'s -- their dots. as alan greenspan said, where is it going to go and what might start to change? alix: fair point. take a look at the terminal yieldi have the two-year

curve in japan and the u.s. does this flattener end? what the curve is going to take its cue from today is inflation expectations. with the central banks have been trying to do effectively is push .own real rates they can push rates lower. rates are here and if you push and flex asian -- --lation expectations higher if there is growth and inflation starts to come back, they will react slower. they will allow real rates to move lower as inflation expectations start to rise. it's like greasing the wheels.

david: that makes me wonder whether there's been a different type of flattening this week. thinking the bank of japan will jump in with a lot more stimulus and the fed will have a lot more ises. does that take some of the volatility out of the bond market at this point? jim: absolutely. pinning a bank of japan at zero and a fed saying they will move a lot slower. how long does that last is the question. it is the right trade for now. get some data to points that look better and of japan is unhappy with where the dollar-yen is right now and they continue to act on policy, does that actually create another

affect on the markets? bank of feels like japan being able to carry through on their strategy of keeping ten-year yields at 0% is pivotal. they will have to buy a lot and sell a lot. will there be enough bonds for them to manipulate that yield? , if we take this in steps, for right now, i would say yes. longer-term, that's where they could run into some trouble. that's where people get very nervous about these things. david: calm her bond market, carry trade, but the possibility it will have to change. how do you hedge? jim: by being underweight duration. fundamentally come upon markets are overvalued. i like kerry, i like high-yield , i like high-yield.

some of the biggest news in our world over the week was what the bank of japan did or did not do. the bank of japan has been taking action for some time. --y have not been successful what do you see as the u.s. dollar japanese yen story? jonathan: there is a short term and a long-term. i'm fascinated. japan has an unsustainable debt that continues to grow each and every day. -- policymakers initially the yen sold off in a big way. they have struggled to get the yen to weaken. japan runs a current account surplus. you have that currency, that demand -- it is a had went to their policy. that's headwind to their policy. they cannot buy any more bonds, they don't have any more bonds to buy. what they did, now it's about

the rate. in essence, they have turned on the full monetization. they have the ability to do the full on helicopter money. big the deficit is, we will keep buying them to keep the rate of zero. eventually, inflation will come. investors who keep getting more and more yen are just sitting on it. at some point, they will spend it and you will get inflation and that's when the fireworks start flying. sachs echoing it's called to be a yen bear. start positioning for that weaker yen. will that be sustainable when it comes? jonathan: in some sense, it might take a crisis committee stronger yen, before you get before you get the

full on increase in the stock -- or a stronger dollar. the dollar is the other side of the coin. , at this point, the dollar may have a bit of short-term strength because, as we talked about, the fed will tighten policy this year. they will tighten again next year, probably more than what is priced in. it's the other side of the coin. the u.s. has a current account deficit that constantly needs to be funded. that puts downward pressure on the dollar over time. in the intermediate term, downward pressure on the dollar. the euro will be struggling to weaken. the euro may have upper pressure because downward pressure on dollar, the yen may be also downward pressure and concerns about the yen as a long-term holding and the euro may bear

the brunt. alix: jonathan, great to have you. the opening bell is up next. four minutes away from the close of an interesting week. the dax around the lows of the session. take a look at the currency market. it is flat, flat, flat, flat. unless you are in the kiwi. that is where the dollar is moving up 1% against the kiwi. dollar-yen goes nowhere. the buying continues. this is bloomberg. ♪

records, now seeing a bit of weakness. the weaker euro pmi data, services are particular week. the weakness bleeding over in u.s. premarkets down in come rbc downgrading the stock, looking for 25% downside you to advertisers not getting enough bang for their buck. now, up 14%. there are reports that perhaps google and salesforce would be interested in buying twitter. this is a continuation of the twitter drama. will it put itself up for sale? affectings rumor apple and google -- the data breach for yahoo! verizon saying it was only made aware of this data breach in the last few days. it's unclear what the deal impact would be.

we heard from one of the lead bankers on that deal who advised horizon who is saying they are looking into it. david: we want to follow up on that twitter story. we are joined by pro-sutherland who know something about twitter -- brooke sutherland. talk inn a lot of the marketplace about restructuring -- brooke: what is being reported right now is that there has been early expressions of interest from several technology companies, including google and salesforce. a sale is not imminent. we might see something by the year end. totter is no stranger takeover speculation. twitter has jumped four point

and percent one out of every six trading days so far this year. 4.8% one out of every six trading days. david: growth started to flatten out and it became less favored. at this point, what does a tech company see in twitter? >> there is still a significant user base, even if it is not growing as much as it once was. there are still people who use this for daily things. those are valuable eyeballs. of somebody hands who has more experience dealing with advertisers, you might be able to make this more profitable, get more out of those eyeballs. becausee stock was down advertisers are not getting the bang for their buck. they are seeing less return on those and dollars. when googlee issue

and facebook are lapping up the ad revenue. facebooksomebody like which gets lots of money from advertising or somebody like google with more experience in this area do a better job? david: it echoes the yahoo! deal with aol. aol has a lot of ad tech and yahoo! still has a lot of eyeballs. is this something salesforce could afford to buy? google has the money, they have the cash. >> salesforce was looking at linkedin. twitter is not cheap. it is still very expensive, even after the stock has fallen so far this year. month, when we ran the data looking at the premium

microsoft paper linkedin, twitter would be crazy expensive. best paid for -- the premium microsoft paid for linkedin. we will see. david: salesforce has been very acquisitive. wendy you expect to hear something on this? that's when do you expect to hear something on this? >> we will have to wait and see what comes out of this. it is still very early stage at this point. the other question is, does twitter want to sell? is this an admission of defeat if you sell when you're stock is trading at these levels -- when your stock is trading at those levels? david: that is brooke sutherland. a little earlier, we hosted jack

welch, former ge chairman and ceo. we asked him whether central banks are creating an environment that is fostering business growth. jack: i think they are doing their job. they are pushing against the noodle here. they don't just have the authority to change the regulatory environment, change the physical environment. they are stock. they are playing in the weeds here. david: i'm sure cost of capital was an important issue for you. the cost of capital has gone down quite a bit with these rates. does that free up a ceo to invest? why aren't they investing more? jack: demand is not there because the jobs aren't there. it's all demand. you will not sit there money is cheap, let's build another factory. nobody is going to buy it.

alix: is this the right used for capital right now? cap x is growing, but not at the rate of dividend buybacks. jack: capex is not growing at all to speak of. you will not get robust economy when you have regulators whacking them everyday. result ofndated as a the 2008 crisis with banks and there is a epa -- regulator on every corner. can understand why the regulation is constraining the businesses. is it also constraining the demand? jack: it doesn't create good jobs. we have 10% unemployment. alix: that has been coming down. the jobs we are creating

our lousy jobs. we are not creating jobs in the oil patch like we were. alix: unit labor costs will rise. at some point, investors will not be hiring, they will increase productivity. that will spur the entire economy. why isn't that working out right now? jack: demand. alix: it is an aggregate demand story? jack: absolutely. it is a demand issue. people are frightened. they are not spending. retail sales are modest. are operatingnts at low capacity. alix: central banks have done all they can. now, we need some kind of stimulus. -- that will to

not make a dent. david: is that up to the government? jack: we certainly could use less government. along with some infrastructure. we cannot agree on what infrastructure. you talk about automation, etc. if automation were doing that much for us, we would have higher productivity. that was jack welch earlier today on "bloomberg ." alix: what commodity just saw a big rally this week? more, next. you this is bloomberg. ♪

david: this is "bloomberg ." .oming up monday, dan fuss alix: it is the end of a very big week for the markets and you are seeing indices lower across the board. ,he s&p off by about six points a three-day winning streak coming to an end. take a look at the long end of the curve, we had a lot of buying, yields pushing lower. -- aar yields backing up bit of selling coming in the last half-hour. the president in boston outlining why he dissented earlier this week. he sees imbalances but still sees a gradual pace for tightening. the dollar index went nowhere

fast. now moving substantially higher. a bit of a move in fx and treasuries. still a quiet digesting market. for morecambe and the guilty little is joining us at the just -- which days of record highs. shares arecebook lower after the company said it gave advertisers inflated video metrix. this issue has since been fixed. paul sweeney says it is embarrassing but he does not think this will have a long-term material financial impact on facebook. international announces a new ceo.

paul will be stepping intimately. the reason investors are so excited, relieved, da silva came from valeant. wynn resorts trading higher as well. analysts saying to take some chips off the table, then earnings estimates are likely to come down. alix: abigail doolittle joining us from the nasdaq. that hadthe commodity a monster rally so far this year? natural gas. this is a chart of natural gas versus the oil price. the oil price is the purple line. natural gas leading where oil is going. it declined substantially in early 2014. a fierceas is seeing

rally, 50% since the beginning of june. kurt billick, is the founder and cio of a commodities hedge fund. what is that next move for net gas? -- natural gas? we are pretty optimistic about the prospects for natural gas heading into winter. i think there is a fairly good least 350will see at over the next few months with some real potential for it to spike up towards the four dollar level. alix: will we see a rally in oil? with what kind of lag? to link oil mistake and natural gas prices to directly. o directly.

there's a lot of differences in the sources and uses. fuelal gas is a heating and power generation fuel. stationary consumption. oil is used in mobility command transportation. the demand functions are very different. i'm not sure you can look to the natural gas market to tell you the near-term direction on oil. the positive dynamics and natural gas are pretty much a function of natural gas. isre there was a linkage come as you said, natural gas led oil lower. companies that produce oil and natural gas can make a capital allocation decision. we saw them pulled back from the natural gas market in that 2012-2014 time period. natural gas was helped by -- the reasonns

we are optimistic is because nobody has been committing capital to drill for natural gas. alix: right. take a look at the terminal here. this is the curve of natural gas now versus where it was six months ago. at blue line was six months ago and the orange line is where we are right now. and unbelievable re-rating of the curve higher. at what point do we see companies coming in, investing more capital, pressuring natural gas prices and increasing stockpiles in the u.s.? kurt: there's a couple of really positive dynamics that will keep the price elevated for the near-term. the first has to do with the fact that the oil companies are capital constrained. they have a limited amount of capital they can redeploy. because oil and gas prices have been so depressed and a lot of them have balance sheet issues to work through. to work ono choose

their best opportunities. there is still great opportunities to earn a return producing oil. natural gas has to compete for that capital dollar. the low price of natural gas has created new demand. the share of natural gas and power generation has gone up and the u.s. is becoming the significant exporter. thethird constrained on supply response is takeaway capacity, the lowest cost region for producing natural gas in the in. is the marsalis shale the northeast, primarily in pennsylvania. there have been a lot of regulatory issues and getting sufficient pipeline capacity built to take gas to the places where it's needed. now that you have laid out why you are bullish net gas, what is it, futures, stocks,

what? kurt: we see good opportunities in equities linked to the natural gas price. we like owning independent power producers, companies like dynegy which produces power by burning coal and gas. they have a lot of low-cost plants. as the price of gas goes up, it pushes the cost of the marginal producer up. the reason we like owning dynegy, they are making tons of cash even at today's gas price. they will be able to produce their entire cap in free cash flow over the next four years. any increase in natural gas prices is just another benefit, another tailwind that will help them improve their balance sheet and pursue good reinvestment opportunities. alix: great perspective, kurt billick. thank you for joining us for.
