• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the Bloomberg terminals about the Boston Celtics. A consortium including
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: STG Partners co founder Bill Chisholm, who was actually originally
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: an investment banker Pain Weber my old shop, reached a
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: deal to buy the Boston Celtics for six point one
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: billion dollars.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Just extraordinary. Anyone you want to.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Talk about the valuation of sports franchises, there's one place
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: you have to go, and that's Sportco. These folks do
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: some outstanding work there. Eben Novi Williams and his partner
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Scott Sashnik.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Scott Soshnik Joints is here. He is editor chief of Sportico.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, Scott, this is I'm a Nick's but I recognize value,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and boy, this Boston Celtis.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: They're getting a rich valuation, aren't they.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they certainly are. It's the most ever paid for
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: professional sports franchise, topping Josh Harris's six billion dollar purchase
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: of the Commanders. And we all know the difference between
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: the NFL and everybody else, so for this to happen
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: in the NBA is quite extraordinary. And it's actually going
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: to be a two tranch deal. So this first tranche,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: we understand, is at a six point one billion dollar
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: valuation three years from now. The second tranch, I think
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: the rest of the forty nine percent of the franchise
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: that wasn't sold now is going to be a seven
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: billion dollar valuation, so perhaps accounting for inflation, but at
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: a blended six' six you can bet That Adam silver
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and the NBA's other owners are very happy with this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Transaction all, Right.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: So done this one down for? Me? RIGHT i would
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: assume you're, like, yeah, yeah, no please do all? Right
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: you got football and you got, soccer which they call
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: football In. Europe but, LIKE i didn't know that basketball
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: was this valuable versus those other two.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Sports, YEAH i, mean look at the media. Deal first of,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: all they just re up, with you, know With turner AND,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: espn a almost three x deal from the last. Time
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: so The meteorites are incredibly. Valuable what you normally look
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: at with these transactions are what's the media and what's
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: the real. Estate what really is surprising about The celtics
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: is all the ownership has is the, team albeit a tremendous.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: BRAND i, mean The celtics brand in sports is, premium,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: platinum top, TIER i get. It but they do not
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: own the. Building they are tenants in the. Building it's
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: owned by The jacobs and which owned the family that
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: owns The Boston. Ruins so you're really just getting the.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Team it's gonna be really interesting to. See, now how
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: do you squeeze further value out of a roster, that,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: yes is a championship, team but is projected to lose
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: about seventy million dollars this. Year so it's a high
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: price to. Pay it remains to be seen how they
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: can squeeze some more value out of.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: It, hey what do we know about This Bill. Chisholm
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: what do we know about this new buyer?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Here, yeah we don't know much About. CHISHOLM i, mean
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: he grew up in the, area grew up A celtics,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: fan watched them put the band. Up Larry bird was
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: his favorite, player went To. Dartmouth these are the things
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: The grosspecks sort of pointed out in their letter that
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: we saw that he sent out to the ownership group
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: announcing the. Transaction but from a sports, perspective we don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: have anything. Now he was one of four parties. Interested
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: another one of the, parties of, course Was Steve, paluka
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: who's a limited partner in the group NOW. PAGs you,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: know early on he had made it clear he thought
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: what a fair valuation was AND i don't think over
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: six billion dollars was. It so he did bid on the,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: franchise but he didn't approach this. Number thus he's he's
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: happy to send it out at this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Point so no bidding, war we're going to resume it
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: or anything like.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: That once you got to. Six there was an early
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: feeling during the transaction that THE nba really wanted this
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to begin with six. Twofold you always want the price
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: to be going up your, franchise keep the owners. Happy
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: but THE nba is also about to embark on an expansion,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: process whether it Be seattle And Las vegas and or.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: More this sets a very high number for those two
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: new market so everybody happy across the. Board if you're
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: interested IN nba valuations And.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Scott we know that for a lot of these sports,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: teams the real value are much of the value is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: in their media. Rights and if you're a national sport
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: like THE, nfl you're in a, great great.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Shape if you're a regional.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Sport like, baseball like, hockey those regional sports networks and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the challenges they're facing because of cord.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Cutting that's an.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Issue how do you factor that in for some of
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: these regional, sports you, know the kind of the weakness
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: in the regional sports, business how do you factor that into?
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Evaluation certainly if you rank them top to, BOTTOM, NFL,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: nba and then hockey and, baseball hockey and, baseball certainly
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: they really need that local, money that LOCAL tv money
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: which has been disappearing on the regionable sports, networks which
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: we refer to over here as melting.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Glaciers so the national number is so high for THE,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: nfl and that's just, pooled so there is no local you,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: know you don't air it that. Way THE nba does
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: rely some on local media, money but that national umber
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: is also so, high and THE, nba if you've been
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: paying attention over the last few, years you'll notice they've
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: been doing some micro. Transactions you can buy the last
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: five minutes of a, game you can buy pieces of.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Games they are very strong on social they are very strong.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Globally these are really dominant brands around the. World baseball
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: just did a great job In. Japan, well THE nba
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: has a great market In, China, europe so there might
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: be something coming In europe from THE nba in the near.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Future so if you look at the aggregation of, eyeballs
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: it might not be people sitting down in front of
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: THE tv watching quarters one through, four but you've got people's. Attentions,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: now the challenge For Adam silver and his owners, Is
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: i've got the, eyeballs how DO i monetize it in
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: a new media.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: World actually that's a great question BECAUSE i was going to, wonder,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: like how do you squeeze? Value and you mentioned The
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: celtics in terms of the real, estate and how do
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: you then squeeze more? Value so in, general how do
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: you do?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: That excellent. QUESTION i can't answer that, question SO i
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: know what the new ownership group is going to. DO
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: i would say that a global audience would be the
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: PLACE i would start for THE. Nba you have new
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: markets in THE. Us we Mentioned vegas and we Mentioned
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: seattle that will bring a high price. Point then you
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: talk about maybe A european, league and then your eyeballs
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: outside The United. States basketball unlike, football and you see
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: THE nfl is trying awfully hard to broaden its fan
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: base outside of THE us. Borders it is not happening
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: as fast as THE. Nba that is a big. Advantage.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Go i'm not one that looks at The twitter followers
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: and The instagram so, much but if you go check
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: out THE, nba they lead the sports leagues in global.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Eyeballs that is certainly an area of focus for all basketball.
• 6:40

• 7:45
  Speaker 5: YouTube let's take a look at the market kind of
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: what you do if we are going to be in
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: a stagflationary environment for a little, bit if you believe,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: that how do you manage? It Sandy brager is chief
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: client officer At. Espirien she joins us now From. California
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: so if we kind of like flirt with this dig inflation,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: scenario a little lower, growth little higher, inflation how do
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: you manage, That.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Alex we're not totally worried about seculation at this.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: Point we think the economy has been very strong for
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: the last couple of, years and sure it looks like
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: it is going to slow in terms of its.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Growth so, far inflation has been.
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: Stickier than anyone would, like but it should be in.
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: Check but in terms of portfolios and how we're working
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: with our clients who are corporate, executives, family family business
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: owners and, entrepreneurs we're still thinking diversification is really. Important,
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: volatility regardless of, stagflation are not we think is here to,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: stay and having a very diversified portfolio makes a lot of,
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: sense not only for the near, term but for the years.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: Ahead and that's been a very different situation than what
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: has worked best over the last fifteen.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Years, actually if you go, back look back over your.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Shoulder, sandy what's a diversified portfolio? FOR i guess your typical.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Client, stocks bond, is all.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Alternatives are they a part of that diversification they?
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: Are, Paul, yeah we have a fair mountain, stocks and
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: within the stock, portfolio we're tilting toward stocks that haven't
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: done that well over the last couple of. Years so
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: we have a lot of value, stocks small cap, stocks
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: and a large tilt toward, international which we think is.
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: Important on the bond, side you, know that could be
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: up to about a third of a client's. Portfolio we're
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: looking on the shorter end there because our clients are
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: in the highest tax. Brackets we like mini bonds a.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: Lot it makes sense from an after tax. Perspective and
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: then we have anywhere from about ten to eighteen percent
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: of client portfolios.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: Mostly in alternative alternative.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: Investments and these are liquid alternatives and they might even
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: include things like gold that have been doing really really
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: well this.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Year what About european equities is sort of expanding on.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: That does that rotation have?
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Legs we think, so you, know it does look Like
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: europe is about to spend a lot of money on defaul.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Events and you, know just like The United, states there
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: are a lot of shocks that are kind of rippling
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: through the global. Economy but we do Like europe evaluations
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: are generally. Lower looks like some interesting things could be
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: happening In. Germany, otherwise you, Know france And switzerland are
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: looking good from our, perspective and they've been doing really
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: well this year as THE us stocks have been correcting.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Down about on the fixed income, Side, sandy what are
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: you advising your clients? Here we're looking at the two
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: year treasury three point ninety five percent is certainly a
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: lot better than we've had over the last you, know fifteen.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Years is that? Okay or do you take some credit?
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Risk we're not taking a lot of credit risks right, Now.
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: Paul we think that that staying on the, shorter shorter
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: term side of the curve makes a lot of. Sense
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: there's not a lot of extra return available on the
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: longer term side of the curve at this, point but
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: we do we do pay attention to the fixed income
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: and we are a little you, know weary with clients
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: reminding them that there is risk in fixed income just
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: like there is in. Stock so as we've experienced the
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: volatility so far this, quarter some clients have been asking
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: if they should be rotating more to, bonds and.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: We think we don't think that's the.
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: Case we think having a fair amount of bonds in
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: the portfolio with some interest rate exposure makes a lot of,
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: sense but not going too far out on that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Curve, Sandy thank you so.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Much we appreciate That Sandy, Briger Chief Client officer For,
• 11:27

  Speaker 1: wherever you get your, podcasts or watch us live on.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: YouTube all, right.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: One story that we are watching Forses. Tesla that stock
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: is lower today as the company recalls the cyberchuck after
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: pieces of steel trim come. Loose all, Right joining us
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: As Craig, Cudel Bloomberg Global Audios, editor All, right what happened?
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: Here, yeah so this is actually the second time That
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: tesla's had to do a recall for pieces of trim coming.
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: Loose and so it's maybe a little bit of a
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: source of embarrassment because it's one thing to have an
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: issue pop up that that you, KNOW i think for
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: for all, automakers even the best, ones you, know they
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: occasionally will have recalls that are a tad. Embarrassing in this,
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: case to have it happen, twice you, know granted it
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: is a different part of the, vehicle but this this,
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: truck of, course was was so sort of famous For
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: Elon musk's decision to clad it all in stainless, steel
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: and apparently they're having trouble with the adhesives to to
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: keep that steel stuck to the.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Vehicle craig generally, speaking what's the IF i we're going
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to go to consumer? Reports what's the general feeling out
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: there in the auto world about the quality of a
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: test the?
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: VEHICLE i, MEAN i THINK i think for the cyber,
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: truck it's really interesting that this is the eighth call
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: that they've, done you, know and and to be, fair you,
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: know some of them have been you, know for minor.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: Issues my favorite one last year they violated a font
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: size rule uh in THE us where, uh you, know
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: when when you warn a driver, that, uh you, know
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: of safety critical, data you've got to do it in
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: a large enough. Font And tesla, uh you know violated.
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: That so uh you know that of course is not
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: a particularly you, KNOW i guess it's it's not, unseerious
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: but it's you, know a relatively minor.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Thing.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: Uh some of these fixes that they've, made, uh they've
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: been able to handle them via over the air software.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: Updates but, uh an issue like this trim. Defect you,
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: know they they will have to uh you, know have
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: have customers come into the stores or into the service,
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: centers have a look at the vehicles and in some
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: cases have to do some repairs that will cost the
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: company some. Money and you, KNOW i think generally the.
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: REPUTATION i think early on For, tesla there was a
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: lot of you, know, uh you, know noise within the
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: auto industry about how this you, know this company makes
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: vehicles with you, know big panel. GAPS a lot of
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: people didn't really necessarily care about. That AND i do
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: think To tesla's, credit they've gotten better on, quality but,
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: uh you, know recalls like this don't don't really help that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: Reputation so it stop down almost two.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Percent but it's not like it's been. Smoothsale and it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: been a really terrible few months For. Tesla what do
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: you what provides a bottom for this?
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: STOCK i, think you, know the the cyber, truck you,
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: know has been something of a letdown for, them Right
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: it's it's the one new vehicle that they've, had, uh you,
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: know really since The MODEL y came out back in twenty,
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: twenty and SO i think there were some hopes that
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: this this would be a big, hit AND i think
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: it's it's not really sort of. DELIVERED i think the
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: thing to look forward to if you're an investor is
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: is the redesign model why. That earlier this year the
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: company sort of released a look at the model why
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: it interestingly has on the front end it looks a
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: little bit more like a cyber, truck and then it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: got a light beam you, know running across across it
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: the way the cyber truck.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Does.
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: Uh there's some improvements on the, interior BUT i think
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: there are some real questions, about you, know is this
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: enough in terms of you, know real significant updates and
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: upgrades to keep up with with a company like BY,
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: d say In. China you, know they they made a
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: lot of noise this week and turned a lot of
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: heads with these claims about you, know being able to
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: charge your ev in five. Minutes AND i think there's you,
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: know a sort of, creeping, uh you know sense among
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: investors that you, know if you want to see sort
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: of innovation in, evs you really look To china and
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: look to companies like BY d or sham as opposed
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: to To, tesla and that in and of.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Itself craig is a subject to discussion here when you
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: when you talk to The western auto companies that you speak,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: with whether it's A volkslagon or even A ford or,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: whatever are they prepared to seed THE ev market To?
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: CHINA i, MEAN i think the the the you, know
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: fact of the matter, is you, know it's already been.
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: Seated you, know if you if you count you, know
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: battery electric vehicles and plug in hybrid electric vehicles, together you,
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: know it's roughly two and three electric vehicles that are
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: sold are sold In. China and you, KNOW i Think,
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: tesla to its credit is is you, know a player
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: to be reckoned with in that. Market but you, know
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: in terms of who's the, leader it's far and away
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: by D i Think, Jaomi, uh you, know is really
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: getting a lot of, attention you, know not just among
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: media types like, me but you, Know FORD Ceo Jim
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: farley has has really sung that company's praises and and
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: he's not. Alone there are other executives in the industry
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: WHO i know really are watching what they're up to.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: Closely it's sort of The apple car That apple you,
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: know didn't manage to pull, off didn't manage to Make
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: AND i think there's a lot of concern within the
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: industry about you, know just how much of a Lead chinese,
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: manufacturers and In johnny's case of Tech, company just how
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: much of a lead they've.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Built when we take a look quickly at the valuations
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: for all these, automakers particularly an evie, market, like have
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: we rerated enough for the decline and demand and for
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: the tariff.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: Risks it's a good. QUESTION i, think you, know a
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: lot of a lot of the manufacturers have really been
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: beaten down by the tariff, uncertainty and that's been a global.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: STORY i Think tesla is still after this you, know
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: pretty significant decline since since Mid, december is still an
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: anomaly in the industry where they are are valued at you,
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: know many multiples of anybody. Else and, so you, KNOW
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: i think there's still hope among some investors and a
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: belief that there's a reason to treat this stock, differently
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: That musk will eventually deliver on his claims about you,
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: know self driving, vehicles and and he's ALSO i, think you,
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: know emphasized the potential For tesla to become you, KNOW
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: ai and robotics company even more so than a. Carmaker
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: BUT i think you know in terms of what this
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: company does in here now and what it makes its
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: money on its, cars and that business is really slowing,
• 18:14
