    As equity markets grind higher and trend strategies navigate sharp reversals, Moritz Siebert welcomes Nick Baltas of Goldman Sachs for a conversation that moves beyond performance to examine structure. Together they unpack the machinery of the $1.3 trillion QIS industry - from index design and client behavior to the subtle forces shaping capacity and crowding. They discuss how trading speed has become a key axis of dispersion, why volatility remains the hidden cost in systematic portfolios, and what resilience in markets might really be masking. This is not just about strategy. It's about how products scale, and how ideas hold.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Nick on Twitter.Follow Moritz on LinkedIn.

    Nous partons tout d'abord pour l'Espagne, dans la région de Valence meurtrie par inondations et glissements de terrain, il y a un an, le 29 octobre 2024, un phénomène météo dopé par le changement climatique, entrainait dans la mort 237 personnes. 229 de ces victimes se trouvaient dans la région de Valence, dans le sud de l'Espagne. Les masses d'eau tombées sur les reliefs ont noyé les plaines d'eau débordant des rivières et de torrents de boue. Pauline Gleize nous avait rendus compte, il y a un an de ce drame, elle est retournée sur place pour un état des lieux. En seconde partie d'émission, Christophe Diremszian qui rentre de Dakar, où il a pu constater l'avancée des projets en vue des Jeux olympiques de la jeunesse qui se dérouleront dans la capitale sénégalaise. Un an après les inondations, comment Valence panse ses plaies ? Il y a tout juste un an, le 29 octobre 2024, le sud de l'Espagne subissait des crues d'une grande violence. À certains endroits, des pluies diluviennes font grossir les torrents et provoquent des inondations y compris là où il ne pleut pas. Résultat : 237 morts, dont 229 dans la seule région de Valence. Le corps de l'un des trois derniers disparus n'a été retrouvé qu'à une semaine du premier anniversaire. Ces inondations ont également provoqué d'immenses dégâts matériels.

    Il a grandi à La Rochelle, bercé par les week-ends familiaux à bord d'un Gin Fizz et les héros des transats des années 1980. Très vite, Philippe Guigné attrape le virus : la régate, l'esprit de compétition et l'envie d'entreprendre. Dans les années 1990, en école de commerce, il découvre le haut niveau sur le Tour de France à la Voile, d'abord aux côtés de Laurent Cordelle, puis avec Bertrand Pacé et Chris Dickson – deux figures tutélaires dont il dira qu'elles l'ont « formé à la rigueur et à la gagne ». Six tours, une victoire, et déjà l'envie de construire plus grand : organiser, monter des projets.Au début des années 2000, le marin devient entrepreneur. Passionné par le jeu vidéo et Internet naissant, il crée Many Players, avant d'imaginer presque par hasard un jeu pour la Route du Rhum 2006 : Virtual Regatta est né. Le concept – une course en ligne jouée en temps réel avec les mêmes conditions que sur l'eau – devient un phénomène. Le Vendée Globe 2008 explose les compteurs avec 340 000 joueurs. Le monde découvre qu'on peut « naviguer » depuis son bureau.Mais derrière le succès, des tempêtes : procès absurdes, serveurs qui plantent à cinq minutes du départ du Vendée 2016, nuits blanches et sueurs froides. « Je jouais ma peau », raconte-t-il, encore ému. À force de résilience, Virtual Regatta s'impose : jeu officiel du Vendée Globe, partenaire de la Volvo Ocean Race, puis de World Sailing. En 2018, la discipline du « e-sailing » devient sport reconnu, jusqu'à être intégrée aux Olympic Virtual Series du CIO – apothéose d'un parcours unique dans la voile et le numérique.En 2021, après un Vendée Globe historique qui réunit un million de navugateurs en ligne, Philippe Guigné revend Virtual Regatta au groupe 52 Entertainment, leader mondial du bridge en ligne. Il tourne la page, sans nostalgie.Aujourd'hui, à 55 ans, il navigue plus que jamais, régate en J70, investit dans des start-ups maritimes et savoure le luxe qu'il s'était promis, plus jeune : du temps. « La voile, dit-il, c'était mon métier, mais avant tout, ça reste ma passion. »Diffusé le 31 octobre 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

    Real-estate operator August Biniaz (Co-Founder & CIO, CPI Capital) breaks down how he grew from agent and small developer to closing $225M+ in multifamily assets—plus the boutique advantages that win in today's market: cross-border investor structures, a mid-market acquisition lane ($20–$50M), and ruthless underwriting discipline (rent growth, exit caps, and debt selection). We cover value-add vs BTR, lessons from deals walked away from, and why talent, conservative debt, and 95% occupancy targets matter more than spreadsheets. Highlights The mid-market moat: Why 100–300 doors, < $50M assets in Tampa (FL) and San Antonio (TX) are a sweet spot. LP economics first: Targeting 15–20% average annualized returns and passing the "net-to-investor" test before bidding. Underwriting levers that kill deals: Keeping organic rent growth to ~2.5%–3%, and being conservative on exit cap rates. Debt is destiny: Why fixed, interest-only 5-year debt reduces "debt distress" risk. Boutique advantage: Direct access to principals, tight asset management, investor dinners, and hands-on ops. Cross-border structure: How Canadian LPs invest into U.S. deals while avoiding double taxation and using registered retirement funds (via MFT). Lessons learned: "Best deals are often the ones you walk away from," plus "hire slow, fire fast. Enjoyed this?

As urnas portenhas surpreenderam: o partido A Liberdade Avança, de Javier Milei, conquistou mais de 40% dos votos e consolidou uma vitória política que, segundo Di Sora, mostra que a população argentina endossa a atual política fiscal do governo.Na conversa, o gestor explica como esse novo cenário afeta a dívida argentina, o fluxo de investimentos e a confiança do mercado, especialmente diante dos investidores que apostaram contra Milei, vendendo ativos e dólares antes da votação. Para Di Sora, esse movimento traz riscos, mas também revela oportunidades de longo prazo para quem acredita na recuperação da economia do país. O episódio ainda aborda o impacto das eleições nos ativos argentinos, nas relações econômicas com o Brasil e no mercado latino-americano como um todo.Uma conversa essencial para entender como o resultado eleitoral na Argentina pode redefinir o humor dos investidores e o futuro da região, até no Brasil.

    In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I compared the diverging strategies of SAP and Oracle as the AI revolution reshapes enterprise tech.Highlights00:22 — SAP versus Oracle. It was interesting on SAP's recent Q3 earnings call: the financial analysts seemed to be really preoccupied with this notion — was SAP going to get into the hyperscale business? Or was the fact that Oracle is in the cloud infrastructure business something that SAP sees as a disadvantage? I think those are entirely the wrong questions.01:00 — SAP is never going to go in that direction. Where SAP's future is — and what CEO Christian Klein kept coming back to over and over, and I believe very persuasively — is it's all about the data, and AI, and agents, and the way that apps are evolving to pull all of that together. It's about the business data cloud. It's about certain partnerships.01:45 — It reported a 22% increase in cloud revenue, but in constant currency, that was 27%. Its current cloud backlog was up about 27%. So, strong numbers for them — much, much faster than Oracle's apps business is growing. But Oracle thinks it is going to be ahead on the AI front, and with the database, infrastructure, and its vertical market apps, it thinks it's going to have a real case to be made here.02:27 — But from SAP's side, Klein was asked about the hyperscale business. Really? His point was: no, no, no, this is not going to happen. Instead, we're going to double down — triple down — at SAP on the things that we do best and that our customers are looking for us to deliver.03:44 — A big point that Klein made about this — and why he's so confident about SAP's ability as he said, we are seeing more and more that the buying decisions are being made around business outcomes. That's the focus. Certainly, the CIO is involved, but the decisions are moving up into the C-suite and the boards of directors.05:08 — I think the competitive dynamics between SAP and Oracle are going to really intensify over the next two or three years because the opportunity here around the AI Revolution, with agents, AI data, and applications, is incredibly big and powerful.

    Dans un an tout juste, Dakar accueillera les Jeux olympiques de la jeunesse. La dernière édition, à Buenos Aires en 2018, avait attiré plus d'un million de visiteurs et plus de 4 000 athlètes. À un an de l'ouverture, les chantiers s'accélèrent. Deux sites emblématiques sont entièrement réhabilités pour hisser le Sénégal au niveau des standards olympiques.  De notre correspondante à Dakar, Sur le chantier, le rythme est soutenu. Les travaux ont débuté en octobre 2024. Livraison prévue fin mars prochain, avant les tests techniques du CIO. Philosophie du projet : réhabiliter l'existant. Mais il a fallu tout reprendre à zéro, comme au célèbre stade Iba Mar Diop, où un complexe flambant neuf sort aujourd'hui de terre. « On a totalement démoli l'ensemble des ouvrages qui existaient et on a augmenté la capacité d'accueil du site en termes d'accueil des spectateurs, mais aussi en termes de disciplines, parce qu'aujourd'hui, il n'existe pas de halle multisports. On a construit une halle multisports avec quatre aires de combat, 200 places de gradins et tous les locaux annexes. Et on construit un centre médical et sportif, qui lui est adossé », raconte Salim Sène, coordonnateur adjoint du projet pour l'Ageroute, le maître d'œuvre. Un complexe moderne, accessible et économe en énergie : ventilation naturelle, matériaux locaux, revêtements en terre cuite, comme dans la nouvelle salle de gym. « Ça permet de faire une très bonne isolation thermique du bâtiment et de garantir un très bon confort thermique à l'ensemble des salles qu'on a ici, et de minimiser aussi l'utilisation de la climatisation », ajoute Salim Sène.  « On est allé chercher le meilleur de ce qui se fait aujourd'hui au monde » À ce stade, 65% des travaux sont achevés. Deuxième grand site en chantier : la piscine olympique de Dakar, vieillissante, transformée en un complexe aquatique aux standards internationaux : plusieurs bassins, une fosse de plongée, et des terrains de tennis, volley et basket. Un défi technique, car l'ancienne piscine perdait beaucoup d'eau. « On est allé chercher le meilleur de ce qui se fait aujourd'hui au monde, avec une filtration à perlite, pour pallier l'ensemble des difficultés qu'on avait par le passé, affirme Salim Sène. La filtration traditionnelle était basée sur du sable. C'était un système qui nécessitait beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup d'eau pour le lavage des filtres. » Le projet est financé en partie par l'Agence française de développement, pour un budget d'environ 80 millions d'euros. Et la pérennité de ces infrastructures reste au cœur des priorités. « On a essayé d'anticiper pour appuyer les futurs gestionnaires à, au moins, avoir des sources de revenus. D'une part avec le centre d'hébergement, qu'on a démoli. Et d'autre part, avec les terrains de football qu'on a dédoublés et qu'on aménage, pour que les gestionnaires futurs puissent les mettre en location et les exploiter », explique Babacar Senghor, coordonnateur du projet. Onze sites secondaires à Dakar, Saly et Diamniadio sont également en cours de réfection. À lire aussiJOJ de Dakar J-1 an: pour les infrastructures, la course contre-la-montre est bien lancée

    Recording date: 24th October 2025Derek McPherson (Executive Chair) and Sam Pelaez (President, CEO, and CIO) of Olive Resource Capital are viewing recent weakness in gold and mining equities as a buying opportunity rather than a trend reversal, despite gold correcting from $4,300 to $4,000 per ounce and leading equities declining 15-20% from recent highs.In their October 24th podcast recorded from Zurich, the duo characterized the pullback as normal seasonal volatility within an ongoing bull market. Sam noted that gold reached an RSI reading of 92—the highest ever recorded before the correction, suggesting the rally had extended beyond sustainable levels. Historical analysis shows mining equities commonly correct 33-66% within bull markets, making current pullbacks of 10-20% modest by comparison.The team has strategically positioned for this volatility, transitioning from net sellers in August-September to net buyers in October after raising approximately 10% cash. They plan to increase deployment through November-December, particularly targeting high-conviction names like K92 Mining and Bellevue Gold that have pulled back significantly.Derek and Sam identified the upcoming Q3 earnings season as a critical catalyst for renewed momentum. With the third quarter featuring the highest gold prices on record, producers should report exceptional results. Additionally, buyback programs, typically suspended during pre-earnings blackout periods are expected to reactivate around November 15, providing technical support.The duo emphasized that the fundamental investment thesis remains intact. The "monetary debasement trade" continues with government spending growing faster than economic output, exemplified by the Department of Homeland Security spending $181 million on private jets during a government shutdown. They also noted copper presents opportunities, with the commodity holding firm at $5 per pound while equities have weakened.With most gold equities trading within 10% of 52-week highs, tax-loss selling pressure should be minimal this year, potentially allowing momentum from Q3 earnings to carry through year-end and into what is historically the strongest seasonal period for commodities in Q1 2026.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

    Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses the outlook for stocks after the preliminary U.S.-China trade agreement and ahead of the Fed meeting and big tech earnings.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing the remaining hurdles for equities after what appears to be a preliminary trade deal with China.It's Monday, October 27th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it.Over the past few weeks, trade tensions between the U.S. and China escalated once again focused on rare earths and technology transfers with each country playing its strongest card. Over the weekend, it appears that we have at least a preliminary agreement to de-escalate these tensions which means avoiding prohibitively high tariffs that were scheduled to go on at the end of this month. While we don't have many details on what has been agreed to, it appears that critical rare earths will continue to ship to the U.S. while technology transfer restrictions by the U.S. to China will ease. Presumably, Fentanyl tariffs of 20 percent on China are likely to be part of any broader agreement between Presidents Trump and Xi, if they end up meeting at the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.Given the sharp sell-off in stocks a few weeks ago on the news of trade tensions re-escalating, it's not surprising that stocks are rallying sharply this morning on news of a possible deal from last week's talks. Our attention now turns to the other big events this week. First, the Federal Reserve is meeting tomorrow and Wednesday to decide its next move on monetary policy. There is a broad consensus view that the Fed will cut another 25 basis points but there are very different views about how they will address its balance sheet run-off known as quantitative tightening, or QT. Based on my conversations, there is a growing consensus view for the Fed to announce the end of QT but uncertainty around the timing. Our house view is for the Fed to wait until the January meeting to make this official with an end of the program in February. Others believe the Fed could announce something as early as this week. That dispersion in expectations does create some room for disappointment from markets, especially given the recent increase in funding market spreads. More specifically, the widening in spreads suggests banking reserves may already be too low and restrictive for the pick-up in economic activity and capital spending that requires more liquidity. Second, earnings revision breadth has rolled over sharply the past few weeks. Most of this decline is due to normal seasonality and the fact that revisions breadth had reached unsustainably high levels since bottoming out in April. Therefore, a reset should be expected as we previewed over a month ago. Nevertheless, it needs to stabilize and push higher again for stocks to continue their advance in my view. Perhaps most importantly for the S&P 500 is the fact that all of the hyperscalers are reporting this week and will likely determine if revision breadth rebounds. It will also be important to see how those stocks react to what is likely to be continued aggressive guidance on AI capex plans. Since April, the hyperscaler stocks have rewarded higher guidance on spending. Should that change, we may see a different tone to how these companies discuss their spending plans. Bottom line, I remain bullish on my 12 month view for U.S. stocks based on what I believe will be better and broader growth in earnings next year. Nevertheless, the near term window remains a bit cloudy on trade, Fed policy shifts and earnings revisions breadth. Stay patient with new capital deployment and look to take advantage of downdrafts when they arise like a few weeks ago. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

    "5G is becoming a great enabler for industries, enterprises, in-building connectivity and a variety of use cases, because now we can provide both the lowest latency and the highest bandwidth possible,” states Ganesh Shenbagaraman, Radisys Head of Standards, Regulatory Affairs & Ecosystems.In the recent episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer, and Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, speaks to Shenbagaraman about 5G and edge computing and how they power private networks for various industries, from manufacturing, national security to space.The Radisys' Head of Standards believes in the idea of combining 5G with edge computing for transformative enterprise connectivity. If you're a CEO, CIO, CTO, or CISO facing challenges of keeping up the pace with capacity, security and quality, this episode is for you. The speakers provide a guide on how to achieve next-gen private networks and prepare for the 6G future. Real-Time ControlThe growing need for real-time applications, such as high-quality live video streams and small industrial sensors with instant responses, demands data processing to occur closer to the source than ever before. Alluding to the technical solution that provides near-zero latency and ensures data security, Shenbagaraman says:"By placing the 5G User Plane Function (UPF) next to local radios, we achieve near-zero latency between wireless and application processing. This keeps sensitive data secure within the enterprise network."Such a strategy has now become imperative in handling both high-volume and mission-critical low-latency data all at the same time. Radisys addresses key compliance and confidentiality issues by storing the data within a private network. Essentially, they create a safe security framework that yields near-zero latency to guarantee utmost data security.Powering Edge Computing ApplicationsThe real-world benefit of this zero-latency setup is the power it gives to edge computing applications. As the user plane function is the network's final data exit point, positioning the processing application near it assures prompt perspicuity and action."The devices could be sending very domain-specific data,” said Shenbagaraman. “The user plane function immediately transfers it to the application, the edge application, where it can be processed in real time."It reduces errors and improves the efficiency of tasks through the Radisys platform, with the results meeting all essential requirements, including compliance needs.One such successful use case spotlighted in the podcast is the Radisys work with Lockheed Martin's defence applications. "We enabled sophisticated use cases for Lockheed Martin by leveraging the underlying flexibility of 5G,” the Radisys speaker exemplified. Radisys team customised 5G connectivity for the US defence sector. It incorporated temporary, ad-hoc networks in challenging terrains using Internet Access Backhaul. It also covered isolated, permanent private networks for locations such as maintenance...

    Our analysts Brian Nowak, Keith Weiss and Matt Bombassei break down the most important tech insights from Morgan Stanley's Spark Private Company Conference and industry shifts that will likely shape 2026 and beyond. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Brian Nowak: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Brian Nowak, Morgan Stanley's Head of U.S. Internet Research. I'm joined today by Keith Weiss, Head of U.S. Software Research and Matt Bombassei from my team.Today we're going to talk about private companies and technology – and how they're showing us the direction of travel for disruptive technologies and emerging investment opportunities.It's Wednesday, October 22nd at 10am in New York.Keith and Matt, we just returned from Morgan Stanley's Spark Private Company Conference last week in Los Angeles. It had over 85 private tech companies, 150 plus investor firms. There were a lot of themes that were discussed across the entire tech space impacting a lot of different sectors, including energy, healthcare, financial services, and cybersecurity.Keith, what were some of the biggest takeaways you took away from Spark this year?Keith Weiss: I'd say just to start off with, the Spark Conference is one of my favorite conferences of the year. It's a more intimate conference where you really get to spend time with both the private company executives and founders, as well as investors from the VC community and public company investors. And the conversations are more broad ranging; they're more about the thematics in the industry. They're more long term in nature.So, it's not just a conversation about what's next quarter going to look like, or what data points are you drumming up. You're having these thoughtful conversations about what's going on in the industry and how that's going to impact business models, how it's going to impact innovation cycles, how it's going to impact pricing models, within these companies. So, it tends to be a very interesting conference for me to attend.So, for me, some of the key takeaways. Typically, when we're in these innovation cycles, it feels like everybody's rowing in the same direction. We all understand where the technology's heading, we're all understanding how it's going to be delivered, and it's a race to get there. And you're having a conversation about who's doing best in that race, who's best positioned, who's got a better motor in their race car, if you will.So, to me, one of the big takeaways was we don't have that agreement today, right? There's different players that are looking at this market evolution differently. On one side of the equation, the application vendors – and a lot of this debate is in SaaS based applications. They see SaaS based applications having a very big role in taking these models that are inherently in-determinative and making them to be more determinative and useful within an enterprise context.Bringing them the data that they need to get the job done and the right data; bringing them the context of the business process being solved; bringing the governance that's necessary to use in an enterprise environment. But most importantly, to make it effective and efficient for the large enterprise.On the other side of the equation, you have venture capital investors and more early-stage investors who are looking at this as a huge phase shift, right? This is going to fundamentally change how we build software, how we utilize software, and they worry about a deprecation of that SaaS application layer. They think the model itself is going to start to encompass, it's going to start to subsume a lot more of that application functionality, a lot more of that analytics. And they see a lot more disruption going forward.So that debate within the marketplace, that's something that's interesting to me. It's something that we don't typically see in these innovation cycles. So that's takeaway number one.Takeaway number two, we're still really early days, and that's a little bit implied in in the first statement; I definitely hear a lot of it when I talk to the end customer. When I talk to CIOs. This wasn't necessarily at Spark, but earlier in the week, I was at a CIO conference, there was 150 CIOs in the room. One of the gentlemen on stage asked a question. ‘Who in the room has a good understanding of what we're talking about when we mean Agentic AI, when we mean agentic computing within our enterprise.' Of the 150 CIOs, four raised their hands. Still very early days in understanding how this is going to evolve, how we're going to actually deliver these capabilities into the enterprise.And the last takeaway I would say is more excitement about the federal government becoming a better customer for software companies overall. People are more interested in new avenues into that federal government. There's been some very successful companies that have opened the door to getting into these federal government contracts without going through the primes, without doing the typical federal government procurement cycles.And that's very interesting to the startup community, which tends to move faster, which tends to drive on innovation versus relationship building; versus being in an existing kind of incumbent prime. So, I thought that opening was – it was pretty interesting as well.Brian Nowak: it sounds like it's still very early, there are a lot of different points of view and no real consensus as to where technologies could go next. However, one theme with an enterprise software – [it] does seem like cybersecurity has a little more of a unified view.So maybe walk us through what you learned from a cybersecurity perspective and what should we be focused on there?Keith Weiss: Yeah, absolutely. If there is a consensus, the consensus is that generative AI and these innovations and the fast pace of innovation is going to be a positive for cybersecurity spending, right? The reason being, there's three main factors that are driving that overall spending.One is expansion of surface area, right? Cybersecurity in one dimension, you can think of how much is there to be protected, right? And if we think about the major themes that we're talking about, we're going to be developing a lot more software, right? The code generation tools are improving software developer productivity. You have an expanding capability of what you can actually automate.We'll be building a lot more software. That software needs to be protected, right? We have new entities that are going to be operating inside of enterprises, and that's the agents. So, CIOs are thinking about this future state where you have tens, thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of agents operating in the environment, doing work on behalf of end users, but having permissions and having ability to execute business processes. How do we secure that side of the equation? We're talking about outside of just the four walls of the large enterprise, going into more operational technologies, being able to automate more of that work. That needs to be secured as well.So, an expanding surface area is definitely good for the cybersecurity budget. You can almost think of cybersecurity as a tax on that surface area. We generally think about it; somewhere between 4 and 6 percent of IT spend is going to be spent on overall security. So, that's one big driver.The second big driver is the elevated threat environment. So, while we're excited to get our hands on these extended capabilities of generative AI, the bad guys are already there, right? They're taking advantage of this. The sophistication, the volume and the velocity of these attacks is all increasing. That makes a harder job for the existing infrastructure to keep up, and it's going to likely necessitate more spending on cybersecurity to tackle these newer challenges; the newer dynamism within the cybersecurity threat appropriately. So, you're going to have to use generative AI to counter the generative AI.And then the last component of it; the last driver would be the regulatory environment. Regulatory tends to have some cybersecurity angles. If we think about it here, we're seeing it in terms of data governance is probably the big one. Where does this data go when it goes into the model? Are we putting the right controls around it? Do we have the right governance on it? So that's a big area of concern.A lot of complaining going on at the conference about the lack of consistency in that regulatory environment. All these different initiatives coming up from the state – really creates a challenging environment to navigate. But that's all good-ness for cybersecurity vendors that can help you get into compliance with these new regulations that are coming up. So overall, a lot of positivity around cybersecurity spending and startups definitely look to take advantage of that.Brian Nowak: Matt, so Keith says there's lack of consensus and boats being rode in every direction on what should be adopted first. And only 3 percent of CIOs know what agentic AI means. What did you learn about early signal on adoption? And some of the barriers to adoption? And hurdles that companies are talking about that they need to overcome to really adopt some of these new tools?Matt Bombassei: Yeah. Well, to Keith's point, it is really early, right? And that was a consistent theme that we heard from our companies at the conference. They are seeing early signs of cost efficiency, making employees more productive as opposed to maybe broad scale layoffs. But it's the deployment of these model technologies into specific sub-verticals – so accounting, legal engineering – where that adoption is driving greater efficiency within the organization.These companies are also adopting models that are smaller and a bit more fine tuned to their specific work product. And so that comes at a lower cost. We heard companies talking about costs at 1/50 of the cost of the broader foundational models when they're deploying it within the organization. And so, cost efficiency is something that we're seeing.At the same time, to speak to how early it is, one of the biggest hurdles here is change management and actually adoption. Getting people to use these products, getting them to learn the new technologies, that is a big hurdle. You know, you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink, right? And so, getting people to actually deploy these technologies is something that organizations are thinking through. How do we approach [it]?Brian Nowak: And you make an autonomous car drive? I know you've been doing a lot of work on autonomous driving more broadly. There were some autonomous driving and autonomous driving technology companies at Spark. What were your takeaways on autonomous driving from last week?Matt Bombassei: Yeah, well, not only can you make an autonomous car drive, you can make a truck drive and a bunch of other physical equipment. I think that was one of the takeaways here was that these neural nets that are powering autonomous vehicles are actually becoming much more generalizable. The integration of the transformer architecture into these neural nets is allowing them to take the context from one sub-vertical and deploy it in another vertical.So, we heard that 80 to 90 percent of the software, the underlying neural net, is applicable across these verticals. So, think applicable from autonomous ride sharing to autonomous trucking, right? What that means from our point of view is that it's important to get the scale of total miles driven – to establish that kind of safety hurdle if you're these companies.But also, don't necessarily think of these companies as defined by the vertical that they're operating in. If these models truly are generalizable, a company that's successful and scaled and autonomous ride hailing can switch or navigate verticals to also become successful potentially in trucking and other industries as well. So, the generalization of these models is particularly interesting for scale, and long-term market position for these companies.Brian Nowak: It's fascinating. Well, from consumer and enterprise adoption, the future of agentic computing and autonomous driving, there will be a lot more themes we all have to stay on top of.

    Time for a Bull Market Correction?

    As the S&P 500 continues to rally, our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses three factors that could lead to a stock market correction in the near term.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing why we are still in a new bull market even if a correction is likely in the near term. It's Monday, October 20th at 1pm in New York. So, let's get after it. I continue to believe the sharp selloff in April following Liberation Day marked the trough of what was effectively a three-year rolling recession in the U.S. economy. We have written extensively about this view; but it still remains very much out of consensus. Since 2022 most sectors of the private economy have gone through their own individual recession but at different times. The final trough in the rate of change in economic activity came in April around the tariff announcements which came as a surprise to almost everyone, at least in terms of the magnitude and scope. In short, Liberation Day was really capitulation day on the last piece of bad news for the economic cycle which then bottomed. Stocks seem to agree which is why they have rallied in a straight line since then, much like they do after the trough in any economic cycle. The other proof we have for this claim is the v-shaped recovery in earnings revision breadth, something we have discussed for many months in our written research and on this podcast. Based on our numerous conversations with investors, this view remains very unpopular. Instead, most believe the economy and earnings growth for next year are at risk of being lower rather than higher than expected, as I do. Core to my view is that we are now firmly in an inflationary regime since COVID and the implementation of helicopter money to get us out of that crisis. The government has to run it hot to get us out of the massive debt and deficit problem created over the past 20 years. The end result is that investors need to expect hotter but shorter cycles rather than the elongated 10-year cycles we experienced between 1980-2020 when inflation was falling. That means two-year up cycles followed by one-year down cycles for U.S. equity markets, which is exactly what's happened since 2020. We are now in the midst of a new up cycle that began in April. The key thing to understand during this new regime is that inflation is not bad for stocks so long as it's accelerating and the Fed is on the sidelines or easing like in 2020-21, 2023 and now today. Higher inflation means higher earnings growth which is why price earnings multiples are high today. With inflation likely to accelerate next year, stocks are anticipating better earnings growth. In other words, stocks are a hedge against inflation. In fact, relative to gold, high quality stocks may offer a cheaper inflation hedge at this point given their dramatic underperformance to precious metals year-to-date and since 2021. Eventually, inflation will be a problem again for stocks like in 2022 when the Fed has to react by tightening policy, but that's a story for another day. Having said all this, the equity markets are a bit frothy at the moment and so a 10-15 percent correction in the S&P 500 is not only possible but would be normal at this stage of a new bull market. I see three primary reasons for why we could get that in the near term. First, China-U.S. trade relations have recently escalated again, and we are slowly marching toward a November 1st deadline for tariffs on China to go back to Liberation Day levels. While most investors don't want to get sucked into selling at the worst possible time like they did in April, this risk is real and will weigh on stocks if we don't see evidence of a de-escalation in the next few weeks. Second, funding markets have exhibited some signs of increased stress lately. This is likely due to the ongoing quantitative tightening program by the Fed which is draining bank reserves. Should these stresses increase, it could spill over into equities. Third, our earnings revision breadth metric is rolling over now after its historic rise since April. This could continue into earnings season as it's normal to see some retracement from such a high level and tariffs start to flow through from inventories to the income statement. Trade tensions might also weigh on company guidance in the short term. Bottom line, I believe a new bull market began in April with a new rolling economic and earnings recovery that is now quite nascent. However, even new bull markets have corrections along the way, and certain conditions argue we are at risk for the first tradable one since April. Keep your powder dry in the near term for what should be a great buying opportunity, if it arrives. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful.
