Quick thoughts on the banks. How how

0:02

they doing these days?

0:03

>> I mean they just continue to kind of

0:05

carry the football here and it's not

0:07

just US. I mean Japanese banks even with

0:09

yen intervention and JGB yield Japanese

0:11

banks continue to lead. European banks

0:12

have been absolutely exceptional

0:14

throughout all this and

0:15

>> really

0:15

>> what I think it has told us when you go

0:17

back to earlier in the year and there

0:18

was all this concern about private

0:20

credit and

0:23

it never was a message of some systemic

0:25

threat pulsing through the banking

0:27

system. I mean public credit remains

0:29

very benign. Double B spreads I think

0:30

made new cycle lows last week. Dan

0:31

Clifton uh speaking of Dan said I think

0:34

this very astute call on that we are in

0:37

a extreme period of financial

0:39

deregulation. Um and really you can't

0:42

really shrink the balance sheet of the

0:43

Fed until you deregulate the

0:44

>> the banks

0:45

>> the banks. Uh and I think the charts

0:47

know it uh and the stocks know it and

0:48

they continue to exhibit it. The brokers

0:50

have been excellent here. We've all seen

0:52

Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, but

0:54

even some of the smaller ones, they are

0:55

still leadership. And I just can't think

0:57

of too many times in my career or

0:59

historically where you're on the verge

1:01

of a big problem and every bank stock

1:03

around the world is at new highs.
