10:31 pm
of inflation, not the cyclical, the structural. what i mean by that, technology enabled this disruption, to some extent globalization. businesses don't have pricing power. the consumer has in the palm of his or her hand enormous computing power, more than most companies 15 years ago. and when a business has a cost increase today, it is likely it will erode their margins and they won't be able to pass it on. that is muting inflation. >> when will you get worried about this inflation? >> the reason i highlight the structural issue, and i have been talking about this for meansyears, for me it inflation is not running away from us. it also in my view is not as susceptible to monetary policy. we used to take that into account. we just got talking about corporate debt.
10:32 pm
i think we are just going to have to monitor this very carefully. i am not inclined at this point to lower the fed funds rate to address it, and i'm not sure lowering the fed funds rate -- that is more effective dealing with the cyclical elements of inflation. i'm less convinced it deals with the structural elements, so i am still of the view -- i could change my mind, but for the time being, i would stand past. ♪ >> the economy is in a good place. we had a strong first quarter looking throughout the rest of the year. the fed views economic growth this year as coming in around 2%, perhaps a little bit above that depending on where the data breaks. in terms of inflation, inflation has been running on the soft side recently. we think there are some temporary factors to at least some of that. our baseline view is that inflation will begin to move up toward the 2% objective, but we
10:33 pm
are certainly looking at the data closely. >> markets seem confident that 2.5% is now a terminal rate, correct? >> well, again, that is one view, and the data can break either way and surprise on the upside or the downside. what i would say is that we think the u.s. economy and monetary policy is in a good place right now. our focus is in sustaining maximum employment and price stability. we don't see a strong case to move rates in either direction, but of course as data comes in we will always be looking for indications on that. ♪ markets broadcial concerns this week, many top investors gathered in las vegas. erik schatzker spoke exclusively with some of the most prominent attendees, including billionaire real estate market sam zell, who explained why he prefers active investing to passive. ♪ theory of passive

10:35 pm
disproportionate ownership by passive investors. i don't know the answer but i wouldn't be surprised if 15%, 18% of all of us had our own passive investors. do we want to ask those passive investors what corporate governance should or shouldn't be? do we want people who are investing solely to do as well as everybody else but not better passing judgment? >> so what do you want the blackrock's and vanguard's and other index managers to do? >> i think they should do exactly what they say they are. they should be passive. i think they should vote the same way as the majority of the shareholders. this is not a management issue at all. this is strictly -- >> in other words, let the

10:37 pm
investors. >> that is certainly something you see in your corner of the credit market. one of the most recent features to emerge in the collateral -- excuse me, covenant world, is collateral light. the expressed opportunity or rights written into loan documents for sponsors, backers of leveraged buyout's, to be able to take collateral out from underneath the loan. >> there is how you behave insus other buy side people those fighting for the scraps of food on the table scratching each other. then you have these difficult issues like how cds is triggered. you get issuers that have much,ms, and they become much more aggressive and how they behave toward creditors, because they know they can because creditors need something to invest in, and there's another batch of them around the corner. those are sometimes pushing the limits, in my opinion, of
10:38 pm
behavior that we might necessarily be involved in. however, when the market is willing to accept low covenants, to me that is established in limits of the playing field, and it makes the whole negotiation more interesting, not less interesting, and a time when there's a credit problem. ♪ insights more exclusive from a leading voice on wall street. steve eisman famously foresaw the collapse of the pridemore -- of the subprime mortgages before the crisis, chronicled in the book and movie "the big short." he joined us to share his thoughts on what he sees coming for markets. ♪ anything in the recesses of the financial industry which worries you? >> i don't. let me give you a statistic. precrisis, citigroup was leveraged 33-1. if you leveraged in the balance sheet, it was in excess of 40-1.

by 2016, it was 10-1. that's the difference from mercury to pluto. 2016, fory that by the first time in all the years i've covered financials, i can say the financial system of the united states is safe. that doesn't mean we won't have a recession, and i think there will be massive losses in the bond markets because of the lack of liquidity, but that will be the problem of the people investing in the bond markets. it's not a systemic problem. >> people don't really know what's going to hit that next when it comes to financial crises. >> i want to be very clear, there is not a financial crisis. in the recession, people will lose money, and where they will lose money will be in the bond markets, because they're so much less liquidity as part of the clear pricing. you will see big losses and things like triple b corporate debt, high yield, but you need a recession first. >
