- 0:27Speaker 1: Founders is on the verge of erasing a second straight
- 0:29Speaker 1: monthly loss, helped by today's gains. We check the markets
- 0:33Speaker 1: every fifteen minutes throughout the trading day. Del Industrial Average

- 1:08Speaker 1: at it's time now if the e t F report.
- 1:10Speaker 1: It is brought to you by Instinct Options from Bank

- 1:16Speaker 1: and index options trading by unleashing the in depth market

- 1:24Speaker 1: the power of global connections. Let's go to Catherine Calgary
- 1:28Speaker 1: for our Exchange Traded Funds report. OPEC's decision to cut
- 1:33Speaker 1: production is reverberating throughout the energy industry and will affect
- 1:37Speaker 1: a t s that focus on master limited partnerships or
- 1:40Speaker 1: m LPs. That's the word from Jeremy Goff, director of
- 1:43Speaker 1: Strategic Ventures for Tortoise Capital Advisors. It will reduce global
- 1:48Speaker 1: oil supplies by about a million barrels a day. That'll
- 1:50Speaker 1: somebody is going to have to fill that void. I
- 1:52Speaker 1: think North American assets are going to have to produce
- 1:54Speaker 1: oil in order to fill that void. And so that's
- 1:56Speaker 1: going to have a benefit across the energy value chain,
- 1:59Speaker 1: so these assets will definitely be positively impacted. Goff's firm
- 2:02Speaker 1: offers a Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund tak her t
- 2:05Speaker 1: P y P, which contains some MLPs. There are currently
- 2:09Speaker 1: more than thirty e t s in that category, and
- 2:12Speaker 1: Goff anticipates for their interest and growth. I would say
- 2:15Speaker 1: it's always primarily a focus for e t s because
- 2:18Speaker 1: it is such a big yield provider. Goff says these
- 2:21Speaker 1: MLP e t s can fit into a portfolio in
- 2:24Speaker 1: a number of ways, as an allocation to a real
- 2:27Speaker 1: asset or as yield producers. He emphasizes the importance of
- 2:31Speaker 1: understanding the underlying index and the funds tax implications. That's
- 2:35Speaker 1: your Bloomberg ETF report. I'm Katherine Cowlery. This is taking
- 2:42Speaker 1: stock with pim Box and Kathleen Hays on Bloomberg Radio.
- 2:47Speaker 1: The stock market and the presidential election cycle. Here to
- 2:51Speaker 1: tell us more, Matt Maine. He is managing director and
- 2:54Speaker 1: equity strategist at Miller Tabak and Company. Joining us from
- 2:57Speaker 1: Boston home to Bloomberg twelve hundred. Are right, Matt Maylie,
- 3:00Speaker 1: tell us about your history work well, it's funny. I
- 3:04Speaker 1: initially wanted to look at what happens after a two
- 3:09Speaker 1: term presidency comes to an end, because the last two
- 3:11Speaker 1: times had happened there was a dramatic move in the market.
- 3:14Speaker 1: But as I went back all I went back all
- 3:16Speaker 1: back to World War Two, almost seventy years and a
- 3:18Speaker 1: show that it didn't matter how many terms right there
- 3:22Speaker 1: any time there was a change in the person, uh
- 3:26Speaker 1: it rose to the to the presidency through an election.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I did not count those times when uh there was
- 3:31Speaker 1: a death or or a resignation because those policies kind
- 3:34Speaker 1: of remain the same. But when a new person stepped in,
- 3:37Speaker 1: there's been a dramatic move in the stock market that
- 3:39Speaker 1: began right after the election. Every single time, about two
- 3:43Speaker 1: thirds of the time it's been down, but a third
- 3:45Speaker 1: of the time it's been up. So it's it's hard
- 3:47Speaker 1: to say exactly which way we'll go, but people have
- 3:49Speaker 1: to be prepared, I believe, uh, and start thinking about
- 3:53Speaker 1: in advance, uh the odds that we will break out
- 3:55Speaker 1: of this range and be prepared for either eventuality. So
- 3:59Speaker 1: how could you profit from having this information that you
- 4:03Speaker 1: know that there's going to be a surge or a
- 4:06Speaker 1: move in one direction or the other, but you don't
- 4:09Speaker 1: know which direction. Well, I think number one is really
- 4:14Speaker 1: is going to be key in your planning. Now, there
- 4:15Speaker 1: are some things you can you know, you know, buy
- 4:18Speaker 1: you try to invest in a pick up of volatility,
- 4:21Speaker 1: whether it be you know, the VIX and things like that. However,
- 4:24Speaker 1: I think more importantly it's just a situation where you
- 4:26Speaker 1: want to sit back and decide, you know, have a
- 4:29Speaker 1: plan in advance. Now, don't you know most people go
- 4:31Speaker 1: to their financial advisor in December or January to talk about,
- 4:34Speaker 1: you know, the upcoming year. I say do it now,
- 4:37Speaker 1: because if we do, once you see the market moving,
- 4:40Speaker 1: if you have a plan for each eventuality, you're not
- 4:42Speaker 1: going to panic and sell everything if the market starts
- 4:44Speaker 1: to go down, and you're also not going to even
- 4:46Speaker 1: if the market goes up. People tend to just, you know,
- 4:48Speaker 1: well let's buy the you know, the hottest thing, and
- 4:50Speaker 1: that's not always the best move. So if you have
- 4:52Speaker 1: a base plan in advance, you can kind of sit
- 4:54Speaker 1: back and decide you want what you want to do
- 4:56Speaker 1: once you see the market making making its move. Now
- 4:59Speaker 1: again I will say this, I'm not doing this for
- 5:01Speaker 1: self serving purposes. Motorita back that really we really talked
- 5:04Speaker 1: to institutional investors, not individuals. So, uh, my advice is
- 5:08Speaker 1: to go see a financial advisor. And I mean that
- 5:10Speaker 1: in a in a non a self promoting way. I
- 5:12Speaker 1: guess at my point, no, we I I think I
- 5:14Speaker 1: think we take that, Matt and and I just want you,
- 5:17Speaker 1: if you can, to step after just a moment, because
- 5:19Speaker 1: you know, if you take a look at the money
- 5:22Speaker 1: that is made in any asset class and you chart it,
- 5:25Speaker 1: if you put it together and you draw a nice line,
- 5:27Speaker 1: and you ask people where should you have purchased this asset,
- 5:31Speaker 1: it's usually at the very bottom. It's at the very
- 5:34Speaker 1: valley of the line. And as a result, you look
- 5:38Speaker 1: at what the news was around those events that brought
- 5:41Speaker 1: it to that conclusion, and you finds a lot of
- 5:43Speaker 1: negativity that maybe you should buy into exactly. I think
- 5:48Speaker 1: it's funny because the last why I say that people
- 5:52Speaker 1: when things turn around, Uh, people tend to chase the winners,
- 5:55Speaker 1: but they're usually coming to an end of their of
- 5:57Speaker 1: their cycle. The one thing to know too is, of course,
- 6:00Speaker 1: what we saw. We had a big sell off that
- 6:02Speaker 1: began right literally on election day when Obama was elected
- 6:06Speaker 1: president and it sold off over. However, that March provided
- 6:12Speaker 1: one of the best flying opportunities of all time. UH.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So again investors need to be nimble and have their
- 6:17Speaker 1: plans set up in advance. But I totally agree. You know,
- 6:20Speaker 1: right now and with the market valuations high and the
- 6:24Speaker 1: markets near its all time high, uh, the odds that
- 6:27Speaker 1: this move will be to the downside, but you want
- 6:29Speaker 1: to be prepared to uh, you know, scoop up. And
- 6:32Speaker 1: I guess another important point to make is it unlike
- 6:35Speaker 1: the big moves we've had recently in the last year too,
- 6:37Speaker 1: when we've had ten to fifteen percent moves, these post
- 6:40Speaker 1: election moves usually last at least nine ten months or
- 6:44Speaker 1: even a year year and a half. So I think
- 6:46Speaker 1: whatever we get, it's going to be a long a
- 6:50Speaker 1: longer process than we've seen in the past, So we
- 6:51Speaker 1: want to be prepared for into advance. So with the VIX,
- 6:55Speaker 1: the volatility index right now down eight and a half percent,
- 6:59Speaker 1: two days down one point one seven, trading at twelve
- 7:02Speaker 1: point eight five, would you concur that it is uh
- 7:06Speaker 1: at a level that indicates complacency. Yes, I definitely think so.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I mean, you look at what's going on with with
- 7:12Speaker 1: with Deutsche Bank. And I'm sure you guys have been
- 7:14Speaker 1: talking about all day long, and and I've been hearing
- 7:16Speaker 1: you talk about it when I can be when I've
- 7:18Speaker 1: been able to listen in. And the thing is is
- 7:21Speaker 1: that I don't think Deutsche Bank has got to go
- 7:23Speaker 1: under Stocker go the way of leaving brothers. However, um,
- 7:27Speaker 1: look at what's happened the markets. That stock is down
- 7:29Speaker 1: over and the stock markets done nothing that that we
- 7:33Speaker 1: are way too complacent because people kind of think that, well,
- 7:36Speaker 1: it's not going to go out of business, so therefore
- 7:37Speaker 1: everything's fine. Deutsche Bank still has issues. I mean the
- 7:40Speaker 1: whole banking I don't want to say the whole banking system,
- 7:42Speaker 1: but banks in general, with these you know, low ultra
- 7:45Speaker 1: low registrates, negative interest rates, zero indust rates, it's gonna
- 7:48Speaker 1: be hard for them to make money. And so therefore,
- 7:51Speaker 1: I think the markets, the complacency in the marketplace is
- 7:54Speaker 1: higher than most people realize because and even in our
- 7:57Speaker 1: own stocks in the US, they have badly lie the
- 8:00Speaker 1: S and P. And I think it shows that maybe
- 8:02Speaker 1: people are a little too complacent with the way the
- 8:04Speaker 1: banking system. We've gotten too much into this situation where,
- 8:07Speaker 1: oh my gosh, if it's gonna be negative, it's going
- 8:09Speaker 1: to be a disaster. Well, that doesn't always happen. It's
- 8:12Speaker 1: just it has. It has happened the last two times
- 8:14Speaker 1: for us, but usually it doesn't. And my point is
- 8:16Speaker 1: that that the chances of the of this next move
- 8:19Speaker 1: being a down tent or is not out of the question.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It's not the end of the world, and let's take
- 8:25Speaker 1: advantage of it. But just because it's not going to
- 8:28Speaker 1: be two thousand eight all over again, doesn't mean it
- 8:31Speaker 1: still can't be a painful one. This idea of taking
- 8:34Speaker 1: advantage of a market move. When someone sells there's another
- 8:38Speaker 1: buyer that may step in, you've got to have that
- 8:41Speaker 1: ready cash in order to make that kind of trade exactly.
- 8:46Speaker 1: You know, it's just the people get too too much
- 8:50Speaker 1: caught up in what's going on at the moment. You know,
- 8:52Speaker 1: everybody kind of says, don't panic, don't panic on the
- 8:54Speaker 1: way down, but people can panic on the way up too.
- 8:57Speaker 1: So when you've got that plan in advantage, you sit
- 8:59Speaker 1: down and talk to your financial advisor. Have you know,
- 9:02Speaker 1: you've you've got your your your your plan. You've always
- 9:04Speaker 1: had a plan set up, Do you want to tweak it?
- 9:06Speaker 1: How do you want to take advantage of it? But
- 9:08Speaker 1: when you have the plan at least some sort of
- 9:10Speaker 1: a base plan and based in both, there you know
- 9:12Speaker 1: two plans for both eventuality and so that when it
- 9:15Speaker 1: comes to it, you can sit back and make an
- 9:17Speaker 1: intelligent one and not one where you're where you're panicked
- 9:20Speaker 1: in either direction. Do you believe that institutional investors panic
- 9:24Speaker 1: or are they just so powerful that they're able to
- 9:28Speaker 1: battle against each other and whip saw the market in
- 9:32Speaker 1: a way that we perhaps have not seen before. Well,
- 9:35Speaker 1: that's certainly the case. And when the one thing is
- 9:36Speaker 1: that for for panic for them, um is they tend
- 9:41Speaker 1: to be because because they're in the markets every single
- 9:43Speaker 1: day and looking at them, looking individual companies, looking at
- 9:45Speaker 1: trends for individual industries. So so the panic isn't not
- 9:49Speaker 1: the so of situation. But what they do have to
- 9:51Speaker 1: deal with sometimes is on the downside is forced selling,
- 9:54Speaker 1: where it doesn't matter what they think, you know that
- 9:56Speaker 1: even though they know things are are are are overdone
- 9:59Speaker 1: to the downside, that there are assets that have value exactly,
- 10:03Speaker 1: but they have to sell because they're getting the mutual
- 10:05Speaker 1: from redeptions or a margin call because they've got too
- 10:07Speaker 1: much leverage. But the other thing happens to the in
- 10:09Speaker 1: the other direction, where sometimes they get what I call
- 10:12Speaker 1: performance fear or the markets going up. And I got,
- 10:14Speaker 1: you know, especially at the end of the year, when
- 10:16Speaker 1: the market's going up. At the end of the year,
- 10:18Speaker 1: you might think the world's gonna end next year, but
- 10:21Speaker 1: you still got to be in there in December, because
- 10:23Speaker 1: you all your measure two is the end two towards
- 10:26Speaker 1: the end of the year. So now the institutions are
- 10:28Speaker 1: definitely a different animal, but they can still have these
- 10:31Speaker 1: fear greed situations crop prop up for them. Matt, just
- 10:34Speaker 1: really briefly, because we're going to the clothes here. For
- 10:37Speaker 1: the quarter, for the month, s and P five hundred
- 10:40Speaker 1: is up more than twenty two points, the Dow is
- 10:42Speaker 1: up more than a hundred and seventy eight points. Give
- 10:45Speaker 1: me about ten seconds. What do you think of this?
- 10:47Speaker 1: I think it's a short squeeze on shadow that Deutsche
- 10:50Speaker 1: Bank is going to be fine. I think it will
- 10:52Speaker 1: take a little bit longer for it to play out,
- 10:54Speaker 1: so I would not be chasing this market right here.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much as always Matt Mainlee,
