5:07 am
everywhere you know, one of the things we're looking at when you mention the situation like india, india is battling covid that puts them on one end of the spectrum china at the other end china has been out of covid for a year that is stalling a bit that is shadowing where the u.s. is moving. we are getting back to normal. we have to watch the recovery trade and when it comes to an end. >> what is exactly that trade? i understand the easy names. zoom, things we think of as purely stuck at home then we look at cyclical economic rebound how deep into the cyclical or quote recovery trade, robert, are you going from a stock perspective? >> i think there is still a window for a lot of the things to work. we are starting to run out of room one of the things we have is go through the 69 industry groups in the s&p when you look through that, there is little that hasn't
5:08 am
reco recovered. 7% market cap that is still negative 80% is up more than 10% dating back to pre-covid. you had a lot of names that recovered well beyond what you expect from the disruption that has been seen in covid we are running out of the window on the recovery. that is what we are seeing with the dow these past couple weeks. >> what do we do with our money? sock in drawer everything, literally everything, is higher. >> it is a great time for inn vefrt investors. you mentioned a lot of names reportings will be strong. i think when we get out into the summer, we have to think about the normal environment that is still a good environment. for a long time, we had positive
5:09 am
gdp growth that sets the stage. that is a good environment for investors. it may be time to get more selective. be more careful about the timeline and a great window for recovery it is not going to last forever. >> sort of a cautiously optimistic semi bullish view from robert teeter robert, pleasure have a great day thank you very much. >> thank you you're welcome we are just getting started. on the other side of the quick break, no one doing better work on covid and stocks lately than tom lee. he is here to tell you why one group of stocks is set to soar and why it may be based on one specific commodity the video is a hint. plus, we are live at a conf conference that's right in-person with thousands of

5:13 am
nobody is doing better work on covid and stocks and everything else than tom lee right now. his research notes are a much read on wall street. he had sanity and optimism to the fight against covid and how to invest around it. one idea lately is oil m may control the direction of stocks oil has started to firm back up after being weak the last couple weeks. data from the iea says the massive oil glut has almost dried up demand is up production has been down now the one fifth of the surplus ahead of the crash last year remains in tact. in other words, the market is tightening up. for more on this and the keys that crude may hold for the stock market is tom lee. funds global adviser and
5:14 am
managing partner and head of research tom, good to have you on i know it is early you know i have been tagging your stuff on social media you are one of the few voices that looks past the scary headlines. we dive into the numbers and say, okay, bad stuff here. overall, the trend has been pretty good. that could increase the consumer that could tighten oil up. that could help stocks tie it all together for us >> yeah, brian, that's a great summary. oil demand is still a couple million barrels lower per day in the u.s. than it was before the pandemic a lot of that is jet fuel. what inn vefrt vident er invesy not appreciate is the prices relate to the cyclical trade gdp activity is linked to oil output if you think about it in rough
5:15 am
terms for every 1% of gdp growth, it is 1% demand growth for oil. that is a strange ratio. if we are talking about reopening happening, oil demand comes back i think investors are not still comfortable with the idea that oil prices will actually rebound new hampin that process. if it does, it is an indication of a strong recovery oil stocks are 20% lower than before the pandemic started. relative performance of energy prices and oil, especially, has a lot to do with cyclical stocks are trading. it tells us it has to do with oil demand coming back >> that, to me, tom, is the most amazing part with the charts and
5:16 am
correlations all we heard is oil is dead and esg. i won't own it it is going out. it doesn't matter. energy sector is smaller than it has ever been. those things may be true for investors. you connected the dots oil still matters to big parts of the equity market do we know why >> yeah. oil is central part of it is for every activity that takes place, we are going to have to burn or consume some form of energy today, that is not provided by renewable sources. interestingly, the energy sector has one of the best supply demand alignments taking place policy is going to restrict growth or new capital coming in. financial capital is restricted. oil is a sector where there is limited supply and now it looks
5:17 am
like on the margin substantial incremental demand growth. if gdp levels maintained to 2019 levels, that would be a surprise to the market. that would be pushing demand higher for oil that means energy stocks are up and strength in cyclical trade >> we know from the opec meetings, that the saudis are getting other cheating opec nations in line. we are not seeing a bump in u.s. production you think if with we get to 80 on oil, a long way, tom, if we get tot 80, fle could have 45% up side? >> yes that's going to be a real surprise for most institutional investors. you know, xle is a proxy is up 30% year to date
5:18 am
if it goes up to 80 and the price relationship holds to il we are talking about another 45% move or bringing the total gains close to 80% i think it would be a huge chase by institutions or what we would see is fomo. >> fear of missing out we will see. oil has been so unloved and so forgotten that any move could get people's attention right quick. tom, i want to say thank you to you and the tireless ken in the research reports they have become nightly reading. i posted a lot of it thanks for bringing a bit of hope >> thanks, brian >> tom pointing out 16 of the 17 worst counties all in michigan for covid. headlines are up remember, you have to dig into the data. still on deck, a scary story about the video you are seeing there. new details on the investigation

are so many companies that are pushing evs. including a lot of brands that have been holding off until now. take gm's cadillac it unveiled the lyric. this is a car that is based off the company's ultra ev technology it was supposed to make a debut in the u.s., but because the pandemic, held off until now also, ford is showcasing its mustang mach e the chinese version. the company will be making that car in china for the chinese market what is interesting is that, of course, we know the ev market is a huge one here. it is largely dominated by chinese carmakers and chinese start-ups. all taking the lead of beijing supportive policies. this time, more and more, we are starting to see foreign companies, up until now, have been hesitant of jumping all in
5:25 am
on electric vehicles because they were not convinced this was the way to go. now, brian, they feel this is the way to go. part of that is because the market here is more mature when it comes to evs and also beijing policies are becoming more supportive of electric vehicles. >> eunice, cool stuff with the cars i love the ev stuff. i want to know what it is like. i was invited to an in-person conference in a couple of weeks to the u.s. midwest. we said this since the beginning. you are the crystal ball you are way ahead of us now. is it nerve wracking is everybody still in a mask what is it like at the conference itself? >> reporter: of course, there are a lot of protocols here. we have to wear masks.
5:26 am
in theory, socially distancing that hasn't necessarily worked out well people are carrying signs with reminders. that part hasn't been done so much temperature screenings before we got here, we were asked and required to submit a negative covid test. there were a lot of protocols to ensure it was safe once you are here, it feels like a regular car show on the one hand, you suggested a little bit of nervous as people get close or not socially distancing and taking a mask off. for the most part, it is nice. it is exciting it feels normal which is, you know, not normal these days. >> yeah. it is so great to see you there and a conference going on. we're all looking forward to that as well

5:36 am
to me, dogecoin is everything that's wrong it epitomizes everything that is wrong with the market today. just like gamestop the cult behavior. liquidity from stimulus checks it's pure speculation. it will end badly. >> well, do you think it is like the game we all used to play as kids musical chairs at some point, the music ends and somebody is standing without a chair. do you think dogecoin is just -- i'll set it to you at a higher price until i can until it stops going up >> brian, with musical chairs, there is a chair there's no chair here. this is pure speculation you know, a lot of examples of this across the markets.
5:37 am

5:38 am
cents. on no news, it makes no sense. >> that's right, brian just the awareness of the types of movements is really important, right you were talking about roaring kitty and gamestop and the redditers. that sounds like predators, right? i think the total gamification of investing you and i have been talking about this coming up on three decades. hard to believe. we actually talked about this construct of investing and what it means to put capital to work and what it means to buy things that have good management and good ideas and good businesses this is not that this is what happened in 2000. when you get to a bubble and excess liquidity and you get people blelieving they can buy anything that moves and that's okay, that's just gambling
5:39 am
there is a predelection to gambling there is an extreme of that behavior >> i'll put something up on social today or tomorrow, mark everything you need to know about right now, you can learn from "forbes" cover from 1999. digital money. how kids were taking over wall street and scaring the quote establishment. how you are not smart, not you, but we are not smart enough to understand the new technology. it rang true let's talk about real news good news out of china chinese official coming out and calling bitcoin quota e an investment alternative not exactly a ringing endorsement, but not a takedown either any slightly positive comment from china and other big
5:40 am
regulators has got to be perceived as positive, does it not? >> sure. especially when that commenter is related to the central bank of china look, i believe that bitcoin will be a central bank reserve asset at some point. whether china or europe or u.s don't really know who will go first. i absolutely believe this is a huge positive sign look, bitcoin is, i think, everything that's right with markets. this is a long-term monetary system it is designed as an alternative store value to currencies which are destroyed around the world think about the dollar we created 40% of all the dollars that ever existed in the last 12 months when you do that, you de-value
5:41 am
them it is because we have too much debt at government levels around the world. when you see central bank governors talk about an asset that they think could preserve wealth we have seen it with corporations and michael saler that is why i have m my #probablyafad with a wink this is not a fad. this is not a ponzi. this is something that will be with us for a long time. it is a straight value digital gold >> we are printing trillions of dollars. money is a construct you will love the rbi. any other crypto you like? ethern litecoin >> i like ethereon all of wall street will

welcome back president biden will this week turn his attention to climate change with a summit that focuses on carbon emissions. he will touch on sectors of the economy include real estate. diana olick is joining us now how homeowners are dealing with flooding without moving to higher ground. it is part of the continued rising risk series >> reporter: adores living by the water. >> i grew up on the shore. for me, it is a no-brainer >> reporter: the flood risk to the new jersey home is getting higher to stay, he needed to lift the house higher >> it is something that we are
5:46 am
faced with whether it is climate change or anything else. >> reporter: the family lived at the home because when they de decidedrenovate, they had to comply with the building codes >> barely safe >> reporter: brian hess is a foreman. he lifted all kinds of homes from small ones like this to 7,000 square foot homes. there will be more new jersey tops the list of states with the most homes that based on projected sea level rise will see one major flood per year by 2050 more than 70,000 homes according to climb ate central. followed by florida, california, louisiana and north carolina from homes on the jersey shore to the 2,000 ton waterfront building in san francisco. as the water rises, so, too, must the real estate
5:47 am
>> any coastal areas or areas with large rivers. >> reporter: michael has been in the house lifting business for two decades. working residential and commercial he says lifts start around $10,000 for a small home and over $1 million for a large historic building. >> the more things flood, the more the need. >> reporter: the flood risk is part of the waterfront reward. >> something about not being able to get to the beach in less than ten minutes that is something i wanted to do >> reporter: the risk from rising water is high, but the risk of lifting the house is actually not that bad. these companies say it is a precise, gentle, ginger practice that happens slowly and carefully. you can, in most cases, leave your furniture inside. there could be damage, but that is why there is special insurance for the company and the homeowner.
5:48 am
brian. >> pretty amazing to see the big -- not small homes big homes lifted up. diana, i want to flip gears because i read an article which summed up real estate now and the problem of inventory according to the journal, there are now more real estate agents in america than there are homes for sale is that because everybody now wants to be a realtor again because they see it as easy money? no homes for sale? some vicious combo >> reporter: i say we did that story a couple of weeks when you were off >> i was off give me a break. i didn't know! >> reporter: come on yes, that is the story that there are more real estate agents that is because more agents got into the business during the pandemic at the time when there was so much demand that homes
5:49 am
were flying off the shelf. we have the tightest housing market in history. that comes from the decade of under building after the crash all of the demand for homes and investors buying homes for rentals. the hope is more will come on this spring. it hasn't. silvers are reluctant despite the money they can get for the home to put them on the market especially when there are still unknowns going forward on variants and et cetera it is a tight market it is a pricey market. until we see more construction, it will not get that much better >> you know, diana, i don't feel bad about not watching the network every day. i should have listened to the podcast. "worldwide exchange" available on spotify and apple and others. i would have heard you do that story and we would not have had this segment >> reporter: no problem. >> that's why i like diana

time for the morning rbi it seems like nobody likes money anymore. money is becoming an idea, but it does appear actual cash may come to a quick end. according to the new survey from merchant service in the uk, 64% of adults there have not completed any transaction at all with cash in the past year 61% of those surveyed say they adopted some new payment method in that time and taps, not touches, are en
