joe: it's klein, but at some point, if you wait for all of the signs to turn green, and say ok, trade war is resolved in the fed tightening cycle will go to miles out and china is doing stimulus, most likely they will admit a huge leg up. by that point if they wait for it. what is the best way to play it? safest players, do you go for the countries that have been beaten down the hardest, like what is the best way to be exposed? now, i thinkght this has legs until into next year. 2019, i think the words get cloudier. full steam ahead in the u.s., so i think that quarter is good. when will the next recession be in the u.s.

>> i'm guessing late 2019. that is when the fed would start cutting rates. mostly the real problem countries are somewhat isolated. argentina and even turkey is somewhat large. the paper trail in the u.s. is quite long. it is hard to dry line of impact. , hardening insk china, we do know the economy is slowing. have enacted some stimulus measures. for now, it models through.

have such a rotation going on with stocks out of the sector spooked,le getting some extra regulatory pressure is put on them by the government and stuff, holding in front of twitter and facebook's case, it is not very comforting from an investor standpoint. the question comes down to, can they self police given what they are being accused of, or will the government have to get involved. i have been great versus the rest of the market and people look for any excuse and here we are. >> and it looks like people are pricing in at least a chance that that regulation is coming to thank you so much. thanks to hubert research partners founder and analyst craig huber. a look at some of the biggest business stories in the news right now. activist short seller andrew is suing tesla and its chairman elon musk for inflating its stock price.

actually to their selling a lot of trucks and doing a lot of good things. sort of a cyclical company in any time you have a cyclical company putting up these numbers, you always have people thinking, is this as good as it gets? joe: i thought it was a huge demand in trucking right now. >> yes. i think we asked have a chart. at official data from the industry and government data, it shows you there has been huge increases in orders of trucks on a monthly basis. we are basically a record. but again, you have two factors. the cyclical issue, but some of this has actually been boosted by tax cuts. there was a capital expenditure deduction in the tax bill which prompted a lot of folks to upgrade their fleece and trucks. also makes school buses and dump trucks and these other big industrial vehicles,

so he got a bump from that. a lot of folks are may be thinking, this might not last. keep in mind, this was a company almost near death a couple of years ago and then carl icahn got on board and volkswagen took a huge stake. it really comes back to shares are down 8% or so today. they were still up prior to 28% on the year. it is not doing awful when you look at it over the longer term but for today, i think there is concern maybe they did not bump their forecast as much as people would like to see. basically the forecast they gave was right in the range. covered the stock in the opening bell in and rose as much as 7% initially. started,ially when it >> a lot of folks when they saw the numbers in the police, they were not necessarily impressed but were hoping maybe the ceo or the cfo would stay on the call. it might seem a little more optimistic.

caroline: what did you miss question mark some of the worst performer in the esper for -- are chip stocks. removed -- from its top semiconductor idea. chip stocks fell, let's bring in bloomberg intelligence semiconductor analyst. there are worst performance. is this the beginning of the end or a tipping point? >> that is a great point. look. if you look at the semiconductor sector, -- cycle, i think the fear is irrational but the question is what do we have, it still remains to be seen.

a mutedave more of cycle downturn at the end of the last few years, then you have a little of a correction, you pause and there are inventory clearances, that is option a. b, this is the beginning of a very extended weakness. the caveat is everyone is looking at supply. how much is it this year and how much is it last year. how much of supply what it take i think that is people -- i think they are not looking as aggressively. how much -- what is the relative content of memory in the average how different is that in cloud versus corporate ideas. these are all demand factors, therefore muting the cycle.

joe: it looks like investors are being somewhat discriminating. really applied materials getting hammered. something like nvidia, more specialized and graphic, it is down today but not nearly as much. still close to all-time highs. >> in a muted cycle, there is an opportunity. market share gains to be had ahead of it. case for aiullish but, in an extended downturn, people are not going to differentiate much between a and b. right? muted reaction -- >> in a real downturn, no one is safe. >> i am looking at a 10 year chart, it is up and up and up.

you have that tenure chart. it has been a long time since we saw any kind of substantial slump in these stocks as a group. >> right. semiconductors are the new building block going into everything. look at where semiconductors are mostly today, 30% of the debt revenues come from these and from smart phones. if you look at autos industrials, these are new greenfield areas. the stuff in the gizmo is growing. joe: so one day in past cycles where you have the boom and bust of computers and then maybe phones, now one day this chair will have a chip in it. >> look, yes. industrials have expanded substantially and so have cars. these are areas where the growth of semiconductor revenues from these segments is

disproportionately higher. 2-3 times higher than the unit growth of these devices in these sectors. joe: is it possible that sometimes you get a bit of an order and supply niche -- mismatch. the story is in tech but for whatever reason, these are complex supply chains with very long lead times and you have to make predictions quarters or years in advance about how much you need and how much to invest. intelligencemberg are certainly believers in that part unless we see a dramatic economic retrenchment of sorts and we don't think they will 20, 30, 40, 50% in negative returns from where we are today. we think there is negative potential for sure but it is hard to see from here. >> all right. thanks. i think only two stocks in the stocks today are trading higher.

given the risk reward potential? kristina: that is a great question that is hard to answer because i think this pressure could last a significant amount of time. having said that, my expectation is we may see the fed tickets put off of the accelerator after the september meeting. i think that's will give some relief to emerging markets in general. go in andunity is to find that which was painted with the same brush as turkey as argentina and find the opportunities there. joe: to be clear, when taking the foot off of the accelerator, would that be something represented by something where they see that is close to what they see as neutral? kristina: we are hurtling toward that. we have seen participants say they are getting close to a point where policy is no longer accommodating. i'm looking where the feds decide not to raise rates in

december or slow the pace of the balance sheet which i would argue it's more powerful for em. julie: does that then equal the rising tide helping all boats or will we see u.s. stocks resume a strong rally on that as well? one would think that would cause relief. kristina: we could see u.s. stocks, but i think it would be a time where we see money flow outside of the u.s. because what caused a lot of the u.s. stock strength is a relative safety play. we're not risk on or risk off, we are risk aware. that has driven investors to the u.s. for what they believe is harbor safety. if they believe the fed will ease up in terms of the tightening policy, i think that money flows out of the u.s. to a certain extent and moves to em and other parts of the world. caroline: what about the flow to europe?

we have brexit, italy, so there is a concern on that. kristina: what did tates whether or not money flows to europe is where the ecb goes -- what dictates whether or not 20 flows to europe is where the ecb goes. they have been a powerful force. going back to look at the greek debt crisis, systemic stress went up dramatically but came down. ecbink i would look to the to drive whether or not we see slows into europe. people who have diversified portfolios have done really well on their u.s. equity any ofns and nothing in their other positions whether it is em, other non-us developed markets, bond positions, so probably a lot of anxiety. do you go u.s. higher or allocate elsewhere in general from the big picture?

people have got to have pretty unbalanced ways compared to where they start the year. what do you do now? kristina: it depends on when they started. 2017 was a great year for em. i would advise to continue with a plan of broad diversification even though u.s. has been a strong performer as of late because that could change. you need a significant exposure to alternative's and all outside of the u.s. -- and risk outside of the u.s.. caroline: the first eight months of this year have been strong for ipo, will it close out badly? we will tell you -- close-out that way? we will take next. this is bloomberg. ♪

was 162,000. are we expecting a similar underachievement tomorrow? >> i think so. usually august is a very strange number. it's might be a statistical quirk, who knows, but the august number usually comes in below expectations, below the recent adpd in below the estimation for the month. it doesn't necessarily mean economic momentum is fading. we expect payrolls to continue to bring in 200 k plus readings for the remainder of the year. julie: what about the manufacturing part of the economy? the numbers there have been more positive recently, but the payrolls number not necessarily. does that hint at an increase in manufacturing payroll? there's a lot of concern if you look at different areas for example.

higher. be particularly interesting given the bloodbath in semiconductors today to see what followthrough there is tomorrow. joe: "what'd you miss?" a report that goldman sachs may be delaying plans to start a crypto trading desk which might be a possible catalyst for the brutal crypto selloff. it shows how much crypto investors want institutional money to pile into the space. for more on this, let's bring in frederick, the cofounder of lgo exchange, a crypto trading platform. frederick, thank you so much for joining us. what is it that your -- you are building? there are a lot of solutions whether it is the trading desk, decentralizing exchanges, etc. what are you bringing to the page? frederick: the thing is that

when you are institutional investors you have to meet some requirements and plan a platform to trade on the platform to meet these requirements. especially when it comes to transparency, security, and privacy. most of the platforms on the market don't meet these. joe: with the plunge of cryptocurrencies, it is obviously a rough time. one company is laying off at the seven employees. what is it like building something in this environment? i'm sure when you launched it, it was a very different environment. frederick: i've been in the space for six years. joe: so you see lots of crashes. frederick: i've probably seen a crash 50 times during this. when you are considering this market, it's important to not

look at the up-and-down of the past 24 hours, but to remember the whole cryptocurrency and blockchain industry is about solving a real problem we have on information systems. the regulation will not be able to solve the problem by itself. the cryptocurrency and blockchain market is all about solving this problem. caroline: what interests me is it is all about decentralization. we are now seeing people having to move away from decentralization who were completely focused on it. people don't trust facebook because it is centralized. , bornseeing shape shift out of one of the key players back in the day, and he has had to move away from anonymity in because ofading regulation. theey square the fact that

very means of decentralization go out the window and you have to exchange with institutions? square the fact that the very means of decentralization goes out the window and you have to exchange with an to duchenne's -- with institutions? frederick: we need to decentralize the government -- governance of the software. that does not mean everything needs to be decentralized. some parts need to be decentralized because when you want to deal with financial institutions, you need to have a real relation. you cannot decentralized that. i think we will see in the and some things can be completely decentralize like bitcoin. about you have talked seeing the cycles and cryptocurrency. when we were at highs in bitcoin for example, the knock was that

there were not these options available to institutional investors. they wanted to get in but they did not have a reasonable way of doing so. now, there also seems to be a lack of demand because of the decline we see in the price. do you think those institutions will come back again if we see a rebound in price or do you think because of the highly visible crash we have seen that they will be more cautious? frederick: i don't think it's just about the growth or down of the cryptocurrency. it's more about can you connect your existing system to what cryptocurrencies are about. friction tol of buy, trade, everything, you will not do it. funds areand hedge playing with a very small portion of the capital because it is smaller terms of friction in the market. we want to reduce the friction. to deduct, we need to understand how to guarantee that you are

not taking 100% risk. when you are putting your money on the shares currently, you're taking 100% risk. we try to solve that. we want you to put your money on the shares but you have control of the money. caroline: hide used to sing with yourself -- how do you distinction yourself with others? how do you get yourself in front of future clients. frederick: we is the blockchain technology to make sure we bring trade.the people in sometimes having to make adjustments on the platform in real-time, the regulator will be able to verify there's no one teaching on the back form.

when it comes to custody -- cheating on the back form. when it comes to custody, it's a to have really good quality --. we tried to meet this requirement live partnered with tanks would make sure our --ents everything the customer has is their own account. we have big customers and can do that. same thing for cryptocurrency. we design technology with the signature. we take what exists and put that in the crypto space. julie: hopefully we will have you back when there is another bad -- another bounce.

thank you. coming up, the most exclusive boys club in america. money is not enough to join the club of the nfl owners, we hear from the author who spent four years investing in the league in what he calls one of the great untold stories of american business. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ bloomberg. ♪

julie: nfl season kicks off tonight amid a new cycle the legal -- the league just can't shake. colin kaepernick is back at the new face of nike. bench -- mark leiva levavich documented

this reaction in his book. >> he is everywhere. colin kaepernick is a problem --y wish he would go away would go away. a lot of people who generally are not great to be brought in public, i.e. nfl owners, will have to testify an answer uncomfortable and pretty privileged questions. they did not want that. i still think they would like to avoid that. i think the president will weigh in at some point if he does not already -- hasn't already. that will take up a lot of the oxygen going into the season when they want to keep the folks focused. >> you talk about support of the kaepernick movement in the league. correct me if i get this wrong that some owners are more sympathetic to players grievances than other people realize. >> i think they are.

nfl ist is that the diverse in the sense that there are thousands of agendas. there are over 30 markets. there are a whole different set of interests. one of the reasons big game was familiar that with me is that i do politics for a living. you realize it is all the same swamp. this town is a swamp. donald trump ran against it. football, everyone is part of the same deal. you have the usual suspects, owners, journalist, and it is a lot of the same stew of humanity. i wanted to dive in. >> did you go into the project looking for parallels or did they find you? >> they found me. i went into this project looking for an escape from politics. i was sick of it. i knew it would be another dispiriting campaign.

i love football and wanted to jump into that for a while. all thate not long at you cannot escape politics by jumping into football. even before trump, the league politics and backbiting, ego, and same thing you see in washington, you see in the nfl. then, colin kaepernick and donald trump come along and politics are unavoidable. >> and it is a smaller group because the membership is exclusive. the nfl kinds -- find itself in these culture wars. you write about how insecure and paranoid the league is and its relevancy. is the nfl set up to handle things in any other way? there is a lot of diversity in terms of different owners with different agendas, but in terms of background among the owners, they're one in the same. >> everything one of them is basically aging white men except for one from pakistan. people who set of

have their fingers on the pulse of the american culture, know, you do not want this. beyond that, this group of nfl owners is a great untold story of american business and culture. ande are 32 people who own are some of the most powerful entertainment executives in our country. the second orbly third biggest entertainment company in our country. in their individual markets, their tight. -- they are tight. they are all billionaires. donald trump desperately wanted in for decades and cannot get in. as a consolation prize, he pointed himself in the white house. he can't be in the club, but he gets to live in their heads. >> and you go about it to ask this question, rhetorical question, about the nfl. you think anyone in the nfl recognize these existential issues at hand? >> i think they recognize it intellectually, but i don't think any of them have a sense

of urgency you would want from a younger, a person who feared the feature -- future. someone accountable to a board that could get rid of him or her in a few years. these nfl owners are like politicians in that they are used to a level of difference and power. the one difference is none of them have to run for reelection. they are installed. you cannot get rid of some of these people. really daniel snyder, he would probably lose by 50 point. >> what would be the tipping point as things deteriorate slowly? >> i think it will happen slowly. concussion is driving sort of a big wedge into who plays football and youth leagues. i think ratings are seeping down. cord cutting is a technical issue. politics is a much bigger factor in football than it was 10 years ago both on the left and right. trump made this a big culture

cause for celebrities on the right. i think the game is great. it is a great to be -- great tv sport. i think it will survive because of the greatness of the game. in spite of many of the people who run it actually. >> which owner is the most understanding of owning -- the most likely to understand the business and see the beauty of the game as you put it. >> some of the most impressive people i met are some of the number twos like jonathan kraft, robert kraft's son. mccabe, tony con, rich these are all much younger -- they have a more holistic and really more activist -- they are people have a sense that have been to business school or have the sensibility. largely, these are not people you want to put on a corporate running apple,re

caroline: twitter said it has permanently suspended alex jones of info wars. that theyin a tweet took this action based on the reports of tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate the behavior policy in addition to the account the past violations. they say they increase the

transparency around the rules and there is plenty to be digested. twitter stocks are not reacting after hours. some investments are coming back to bite the world richest university. harvard has invested at least $1 billion in farmland in the last decade according to reports released. some farmers are suing the local companies harvard has invested four controversial land grab. michael mcdonald joins us from boston for the story. michael, talk to us about how this has been brought into the public sphere. this was supposed to be the way harvard was going to get an edge over its rivals like yale. they went into these markets, set up local companies, controlled them and cut out the middleman.

instead of going in with a fund manager with expertise, they went in with their own staff. they bought farms bigger than the state of massachusetts. these places are huge and we are seeing the results of taking these outside risks. now we see disastrous results on their performance from some of the bets they made. that these court cases they have been dragged into and inherited when they went into these markets. they are still fighting them today. joe: the huge university endowments, over the last several years, have put a lot of money into farm land and forest land because they are perceived to be real, uncorrelated assets which huge institutions like. they can produce value enough cycles or down cycles. that only works if you expect positive returns. how specifically do the returns go bad? case, therethis

were expectations built into some of the investments. if you look at the performance of the portfolio, before they made a big change at this particular endowments, they brought in a new team to overhaul the operations. when the new team came in, they found this portfolio, took a hard look at the assets that i wrote about today and said, well, these are not worth what we thought they were worth. these are not performing at the level we thought they were going to be performing and they decided to write them down. after they did the right down, -- write down, i was working with my colleague in brazil and we dug into these investments and found why they were producing such bad performance all of a sudden. this. like a legal battle back to 2004

before harvard are just the company that owns the assets. we found some of the problems that have plagued this portfolio. harvard's billion-dollar farmland fiasco is what reporters are calling it. michael mcdonald, a great writeup, thank you. joe: coming up, what you need to know for tomorrow's trading day. this is bloomberg. ♪
