"A lift from where we were earlier this morning. Let's check out where the action is under the hood with Alex Semenova. She covers the equity markets for Bloomberg News. She joins us live here on our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studio. what Alex are you looking at? Hey guys so a stock that I'm watching right now is Clorox shares are down around one percent. That's after they said that unauthorized activity they detected in some of their IT systems last month will have a material impact on fiscal first quarter results. When I first read that statement I was prepared to see the word marginal. Yeah I know they're apparently going to take a big hit on that. This caused substantial order processing delays and elevated the level of product outages. Clorox did say that it has resumed production at the vast majority of its factoring sites since the attack. They still just make bleach right? I guess so. It's a bleach maker. So this is a bleach maker telling us that we've had real IT problems. That's a problem. Yeah well I mean cyber attacks are apparently becoming very widespread and there are companies taking a big hit. We had Caesars Entertainment just pay millions of dollars in ransom after cyber attack. So it's becoming a big problem for companies. You can see that with Clorox, with Caesars. The SEC actually said starting this month it is requiring companies to disclose most cyber attacks within four days of the incident. It's interesting I just you know for these companies that have been around forever kind of household names old technology old kind -school of companies. I always like to go back and see when they went public. This company went public September 1st 1983. That's not that old. No it's not. I would have thought Clorox Bleachers from like the 1910s. That's Exactly. what I thought. Goldman Sachs was the lead manager on a share price $22 .88. Stock's $145. So interesting to see that. But Clorox Oakland California. Yeah I guess people People are finding some holes in these older companies. Yeah I don't know. I know ARM is kind of one of the names you were looking at. Yeah obviously a lot of investors have been keeping their eyes on ARM. Shares are down around 5 percent today. That's after analysts at Bernstein initiated an underperform on the stock with a $46 price target. Basically they said that it is too soon to declare the company an underperform. Yeah because they designed the chips for phones and games I guess. And of course you come public because you want to get that AI magic and get that AI valuation. A repetition of Nvidia is what a lot of people were hoping for. You have to take a leap of faith if you were buying this IPO on that because while they do have some of that business it's not really the big part of their business. Yeah absolutely. They also did cite that they're conservative on their ability to deliver increased royalty rates at the pace that management is guiding so that was another factor in that underperform initiation. Any other stocks we should be watching today? Individual stories? I mean I know Disney was a big story and Apple was a big story. Now we've got Clorox and what else is there to care about? I'm actually going to go a little big picture macro strategy and plug in a story that I wrote this morning. Always plug your story. Jess Mett is very good at that. Always do that. This one was an interesting one. It was the title was Mike Wilson and Savita Subramanian agree on something which kind of speaks for itself. Their price targets on the S &P 500 vary by around 400 points. So Savita has become quite bullish this year. She was one of the first people to turn on her outlook. Mike Wilson, of course, is a permanent bear has kind of been doubling down on his expectations that recession risks are going to catch up to stocks, but they have some common grounds and despite the differences in their views, one thing that they agree on is that this is a stock picker's market and it's better to be selective than just track the broader benchmarks. So it's really interesting to see these two strategies who have very different stances on where the broader market will go share this view that the S &P 500 has kind of seen best its best days this year and it's time to look for opportunities elsewhere. Savita Subramanian has said that the equal weight index is actually going to outperform the calculated index going forward. Bank of America said that apparently we are in the recovery phase of the regime so that means that small caps, value stocks, a lot of the laggards of this year are actually going to be part of a rotation from mega caps and some of the winners. Mike And Wilson also said that it's time to be selective and he sees opportunities in other areas of the market. Great stuff. As always, Alex Semenova, she covers equities for Bloomberg News. Joining us live here on our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers Studio. Appreciate that. We're talking more cars, dude. Yeah, it's a great day for cars. It is a great day for cars. Well, I mean, let's just say there's a lot of news because there are some negative stories, right? The strike continues to linger on. It's only day four, but you've had some big offers out there. Stellantis, for example, offered a 21 % increase in wages and the union just batted that away. A, you've had, I think, 20 % offers from Ford and GM, but they're demanding 36 %. Plus, they want to bring back defined pension benefits and they're also pushing for a four -day workweek. Okay, I'm pushing for a four -day workweek. Nobody's listening to me. We have talked to Ola Colenius today, the CEO of Mercedes, and now we've got David DeGrosso in here, the CEO of Maserati. And, okay, to be fair, obviously you're part of a much bigger group, Stellantis, and I'm sure you're not dealing with the strike yourself as you're not producing cars, your Maseratis, on this side of the Atlantic, but does it have an effect on you indirectly? I mean, do you have supply chain problems if this drags on? How do you see it? Well, great question. Directly, as you said, we don't have issues because we don't produce. It's 100 % made in Italy, clearly we're a global brand, and for us North America is an important market, so we look forward to the resolution of this because longer term impacts will be on everybody in every sector. So far we have not been impacted, but the long term ripple effects could be far reaching for everybody. All right. You know, I got the new estate down on the Jersey Shore, right across the street in the driveway. Not one, not two, but three Maseratis. Wow. Is that Joe Walsh across? I don't know. Exactly. W. Day, talk to us about your business these days. Where are your global business and in the U .S.? Well, global business, we are you know, experiencing a nice growth fueled by the introduction of the new product that we launched over the 18 months, I would say. The Gracale, the SUV, and now we just released the Gran Turismo, which is hitting this market in these very weeks. And before that we have the MC20, which represents a little bit the rebirth of the Maserati brand. As you know, Maserati was born on the track. for So us having the MC20 going back from the street to the track and we had the GT2 program and then recently we just unveiled the extreme version of the MC20, which is called the MC Extrema that we unveiled at Pebble Beach, which is the beast. So all this has generated the rebirth and the going back of the brand where it belongs, which is epitomizing Italian luxury. The thing beautiful about the Maserati brand is that you mentioned three in the right way because you can find the Maserati for you. There's two -seaters, there's a four -seater Gran Turismo. By the way, Maserati invented the segment of Gran Turismo. It's a trademark word that we've had many, 75 years ago And now everybody who's anybody has a GT car, right? Yeah. And that all comes back to you. How do differentiate you the GT from the MC20? Because they're both two -seaters, sports cars, right? No, the GT is a four -seater. Oh! The GT is a four -seater. The Gran Turismo is a four -seater. I did not. And it's a very comfortable four -seater. So you're putting that versus a 911, essentially? Yeah, there's different types of competitors for the Gran Turismo. I tend not to name competition, just by having worked previously in different environments, including sports. You focus on our game, but it's true. You have four -seaters as a competitor for the Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo actually was originated 75 years ago by the Maserati creativity, if you will, and ingenuity, because they basically put a coupe, but with the spaciousness of a sedan, and the drivability of a sport coupe, but with the plush comfort of a sedan. And that created the Gran Turismo. That's right. I mean, I don't mean to compare it to a 911. I'm just saying it's among those class of cars where you say it's a four -seater, but we're not putting a couple of adults in the back, right? I mean... no. No, I'll be happy to drive you around, and you sit in the back, and you tell me how you feel after two hours' The Hamptons. Wow. Look at that. That's a great offer as well.
The Mason Minute
Pickup Trucks (MM #4557)
"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. Whenever an older gentleman is driving a Ferrari or even a Corvette, people usually say that he's compensating for something. Feel free to fill in the blank what you think he's compensating for. But I've noticed recently, guys who drive the massive pickup trucks are doing the same thing. And what's interesting is they don't drive them well. I mean, I realize these beasts are now bigger than ever before. I don't own a vehicle that can actually see over the back end of a brand new Ford F -150. And we're not talking 4x4, we're just talking the Ford F -150 pickup truck. I cannot see over the top of the tailgate. They've gotten so big. And I don't know why. I realize why the guys buy them. They want to be big and tough and macho, so they drive these big trucks. But they don't drive them well. It's just kind of like they're out on a Sunday joyride all the time, always getting in the way. And they know with just one tap of the gas, they can go zooming past you because they've got so much power. But there's just something about guys who drive around in these new pickup trucks, and they don't even have to be the jacked up 4x4s. It's almost like they're trying to tell you they own the road. It's worse than the guys driving the Ferraris and the Maseratis, at least that's what I think.

Some Big Names Were Offered Roles "Beverly Hills Cop"
"Script was around Hollywood for about 7 years before it was actually greenlit. And let's talk about some of the choices of who was going to play axel F go ahead, Chris. Okay, well, the biggest one was, of course, the great Sylvester Stallone. Yes. He was going to play excellent. And he wanted to make this movie into something far more serious. And I mean, obviously everybody involved in the project was like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This is not a this is a comedy. This is not going to be like a dangerous film. You've got to have this cute little wink with the blond here in the car. You know what I mean? Everything has to have a wink to it. Everything has to be a bit of fun. Yes. No. But you know what I think this is my theory, I think that Sylvester Sloane looked back on this film and said he missed out on something. I think in his mind he thought he missed out on something not doing the comedic version because he did end up doing the serious version of Beverly Hills cup, which was called cobra. He made his own film called cobra. Right, so go ahead. Well, I think that he felt like he missed out on doing the comedic Beverly Hills cop version, and he realized it was a great film. So then he went ahead and he did a film called demolition man, which was a much lighter film, but very similar to Beverly Hills cop when you think about it. A movie which, if you watch it now, has predicted a lot of the things that we now see as wokeness. If you don't remember demolition man, if you thought it was, you know, wasn't funny. Watch it now, and you will think that it was the script was written by Nostradamus. So here's the development history of this movie. So the people they consider didn't offer it to, but they considered for axel foley Al Pacino and James Caan, they offered it to Mickey Rourke, they paid him $400,000 not to do any movies and keep him on ice. That expired and he said, guys, I'm going to keep your money but goodbye. Then they offered it to Harrison Ford. He refused Harrison Ford and along comes Stallone and Stallone. Well, like he does with many things, he just rewrote the whole script. He wanted to quadruple the budget, the end scene would have been him driving playing chicken in a Maserati with an 18 Wheeler. They said, we've only got $12 million. We can't make this movie, and they finally placated him and they said, okay, we'll make a movie where you're like, you know, fine machine guns and cleaning the city up. But it's going to be a different movie. That was cobra. I think we have the post of cobra. A very different movie, not with a lot of humor in it.

"Maserati's and many awe inspiring and just really cool things in between. You like what I did there, didn't you? That's Chris roser. Chris rouser is the editor of Bloomberg pursuits. You can hear him chuckling at the great writing that Carol just read. We also joined alliteration, writing one O one. We're also joined by our Intrepid auto columnist Hannah Elliot. Every week, a trip into the world of wow and wonderful. We do that in the world of Bloomberg pursuits. So Chris, how, going into the end of the year, thinking about everything that Hannah has done throughout the year and throughout, well, I mean, I don't want to put too much money. Do you ever say no to Hannah? How are you thinking about the end of the year issue? You know, Hannah has maybe the coolest job of anyone in the industry. She's here. We're talking about it. I'm talking about I do agree. Right in front of her. And she test drives all these incredible cars, but she also has like a bird's eye view into the whole industry, especially when it comes to luxury cars. And where the industry is going, electric vehicles, and she was talking about the cars that she reviewed this year and she was talking about how she crab walked with the electric Hummer through the desert and she drives these incredible Porsches and it was just so fun to think about everything that she's tried out. And everything that she's seen this year. So we had a lot of fun looking back of the year with her favorite cars. Well, speaking of cars, I mean, I do feel like EVs are, there's going to be a lot of buying next year. But how do you think about it from your vantage point, Hannah? Well, I have to say, I was so happy this year with the offerings from the EV world. I mean, for so long, of course, it's been Tesla. And then we had like a Prius as a hybrid and some other sort of minor things. But this is the first year that really the luxury automakers gave us some real options in the EV world. I mean, Audi has their E Tron line, which includes a small sedan and then like a hatchback thing and an SUV, BMW gave us multiple sedan and SUV EVs. We're seeing a whole EQ line from Mercedes of EVs. So this is the first year where it has really felt like, wow, we have a lot of options. And I think it's been really interesting that as, you know, we start to hear some people say, I'm not feeling so hot about Tesla cars. For many reasons, people are kind of ready to like, what else is there? And finally, we actually do have a lot of things to choose from. And we talk about this all the time in pursuits because luxury. People don't always realize the way that luxury can define the rest of an industry, you may remember Miranda's cerulean monologue from the devil wears Prada. But Tesla really, it taught people that an EV doesn't have to look like a lozenge. It doesn't look what had to look like a toaster that you were driving. And we're hoping that people are learning about that this year. Hannah has all these prescriptions that she thinks that should happen in the next year or so not only like electric cars are going to look better, they're going to drive better, they're going to have better lugs or quality, but also they need to be cheaper, right, Hannah. Yeah. I remember writing that story and the average price of an EV is almost $70,000 where the average price of a regular dawn E electric new car is closer to $48,000, so there's still a really big price disparity. And it is true at the moment that typically EVs are driven by wealthier people. Well, it's EVs are going to save the world. They need to be driven by a wide range of people. It's not just about getting more high priced EVs in the market, even though personally that's what I love. It is really about giving a broad range from very affordable to, of course, a lot of options. Is this the one with a refrigerated champagne cooler? I think many of them. I know nothing. I drive a wagon. What do I know? Standard issue Rolls Royce paraphernalia right there. It's interesting, 'cause you don't, you know, there's a lot of people who don't drive EVs, I think, are worried about range. They have range anxiety, but as you write in one of your recent pieces, most Americans are only driving, what fewer than 40 miles a day. So it's not necessarily that you need a longer range, but you still write that you need charging to be better. What do you mean by that? Right, that's a great point. I think now really what I hear and what I experienced when I drive these EVs is not really range anxiety. It's more about charging anxiety and what I mean by that is the availability of chargers once you get there that they're not broken. They're not occupied and they're not going to take you 12 hours to charge. All of those are things that yes have to do with the network, the charging network that we need to improve, but also with charge times that these EVs can have. Once they can charge quicker and quicker and quicker, that will really alleviate a lot of anxiety that consumers have around EVs, not just with range, but also with what is very valuable time. Yeah, and that's also an access thing, right? I mean, that's also more people can have it when that is that's more robust. Now, something we also talk about a lot is that the most green thing you can do is not even buy a new car. It's by an old car. Which brings up this is my favorite thing. Which is which brings up one of me and Hannah's favorite websites, which is bring a trailer

He also stepped away from hosting the talk of gasoline Alley. Lucky for us and you ladies and gentlemen. He continues to contribute to this network, Donald welcome, and we're thrilled to death. Andrea will be with us. You've been with us all throughout the month was Thank you, Mark. And thanks to everybody for all of the kind words I didn't say I was stopping. I said I was gonna just kick back a little bit. But golly, would just want to throw. It wants to be down there this morning when the The winners went out in the pace car is one of my favorite things. And then the driver's going out with legendary cars. And you know, Rutherford's down there and Mario and point was down there, and Alan, sir and Doug Bull's got to drive. The Maserati that carried will be assured of victory and 39 40 if we go back 100 years ago to 1921. That's when Tommy, built in the 501st two time winner won his first of two. Now he's driving for an interesting team headquartered downtown Indianapolis under the direction off Louis on Arthur's Chevrolet. They relocated here after giving up all of their involvement, but the Chevrolet Motor Company which they helped found and they just moved down here and started building racecars, and they couldn't call them Chevrolets because they gave that up anyway. Ralph to Palm of the Great Ralph Department, led almost the entire first half of the 1921 500, but he dropped out. And here's Tommy Mountain with the Chevrolet bro this car called a fund, an ex special. Now he always claimed that he was down on power, and he was caught by a driver from Lafayette, Indiana, named Brasco Souls who was driving for another outfit downtown. Headed up by frayed anarchy. Duesenberg, Can you believe this? All of these people in Indianapolis that they all know each other so anyway? Sours pulled alongside Milton and Milton. As I say he claimed the cars down on power. He looked over its sorrows, waved, grinned and then reach forward to pat the engine cover. And didn't have a psychological impact on Roscoe Solves. As a matter of fact, Yes, it did. So slowed down and Milton went on to win. Well, maybe the rumor was always always that Milton only had sight in one eye. And indeed, in every photograph, you see, he's got this very pronounced squint so ah, great. Early day historian named Charles Lytle asked a colleague. Do you think Milton only had sight in one eye? And the response was one I owe. He had at least three in the back of his head, Harry, Let's go 20 years more recent to 80 years ago, 1941. Mari Rose starts from the ball leads a number of laps and then goes on to win. Well, four drivers had already done that, and many have sense but something interesting about Rose. He did that with two different cars. He's driving flew more and more had a quite a massive Roddy, just like the one will be a short one in 39 40 roast qualified for the pole with that one. Let a few laps and then on lap 60. He was sidelined now. Lou Moore had three cars in the race total, so one that was running 12th. With Floyd Davis driving. He bought that in. They filled up the car and more of instructed Davis to get out and Rose took over the car. Now Rose knew the carvery well, because he'd finished third with it the year before, and so up through. The package came Now what Bush Shaw was apparently on his way to a third consecutive victory with the Maserati, but he had a wire will collapse at last 1 52 and hit the wall into the lead goes Cliff brochure driving another loom or entry? Who, which was on its way to go in the entire 500 miles without a bitch stop, but Fresh air was feeling the effects of the of the fumes. And so he was slowing down and Rose passed him and then went on to the victory. And there's co winners because Floyd Davis started the race and Rose finished. We've got tons more stuff, but just something that can happen today, which I think is kind of extraordinary and and it kind of cracked up on us now. Scott Dixon is driven in the Indianapolis 518 times, and he's been able to lead a considerable number of laps without really drawing attention to himself. Because of his style. He flies under the radar now going into last year's race. He was running ninth in all time lapse led and during the course of the race, he moved up to third. He went by book of it. She went by personally tones. He went by Mario Point, Wilbur Shaw. He ended up it was so going into today, he's ranking third. Who's ahead of them, Allen, sir. And Ralph diploma. Is it possible that he could catch them? As a matter of fact? Yes. If he leads 82 laps today, and he let 111 last year on the way to second. If he leads 82 laps today, he will pass Ralph diploma. And Al Unser and won't go out of here as the all time lapse leader. To me, That's astonishing because you don't think of Scott Dixon is being that kind of a driver you brings him home. But he also leaves a lot of laughs without people noticing and still relatively young baseball what we're seeing. I mean, he could be around here for a few more years, and I think, stay at the top of his profession. Where do we stand statistically in terms of laps completed that they get Carpenter's one that could move up today? That's the real surprise, Yes. Out going into last year's race. Ed Carpenter, ranked 11th in terms of all times, laps completed and came out of it, 10th. What could he do today? If he was to complete 180 laps, he will move to sex in the all time laps completed category Now point sat in front. No catching him at lunch of second and then a little cash.

"In in the next year or two goes to the two positions, to stand out to me. All right, let's jump to Jimmy G and some of the quarterback talk off. Far as outside of the guys who were looking at in this draft. So, Adam schefter this is interesting to me, I think it's rather transparent. I don't know how you feel. But so shaft that goes on WEEI yesterday morning and he says it's the Patriots or nobody for Jimmy G, 24 hours later, schefter Twitter about multiple teams are expected to call San Francisco. Multiple teams are interested in. Jimmy Garoppolo, call me crazy. Greg call me great, but I read that as the Patriots, get information to Shafter and schefter says, you know, it's it's the Patriots or nobody. I mean, who else? And who's, who else is going to trade for Jimmy? Garoppolo in Cisco. Here's that they get their information to Shafter. Are you kidding me? The lines of burning up. We got five. Six teams that are interested in this guy. What do you think, wage? Hang on there with with Jimmy G. Right now, what I think is going on is one big ass pissing match between Kyle Shanahan him. Maybe everybody's got him out. Everybody's got him out, putting out the fire that just started in the weeds over there. That's what it's Kyle. Shanahan and Bill Belichick right now it reminds me of got it reminds me so much of the old Bill Belichick in Tom Condon pissing matches especially over Brandon Lloyd. I don't know if we've talked about this before Nick, but that offseason. I just remember. We all knew that Brandon Lloyd was going to sign with the Patriots, but it took forever. Why? Because Bill Condon in Tom, and Bill, Belichick, just don't like each other. They're too stubborn, mule wage and Bill Belichick and Kyle, Shanahan are both stubborn mules, like, I don't think I have a little bit of background information on this, but I don't think Kyle. Shanahan likes, Bill, Belichick. All that much. The old man might Mike, Shanahan likes bill off, and so, they sort of have some sort of relationship, but I think it's almost grudgingly. And also, I don't, I think, Kyle maybe sort of has a little resentment towards bill because Kyle was going to go for her cousins, that, offseason, that, that once they got through that stage, we're going to go for Kirk cousin Joe called offer Garoppolo. They were like, we can't really pass this up and so Shanahan missed his chance of Kirk Cousins. And so it's not directly related to build, but I think there's a little built-up resentment there, but I think I don't think Shanahan's all that crazy about Bill Belichick. And I think that both of these guys are just, they're just facing off over this. They won't come to their senses and reach a compromise and I think the reports that we have seen lately, I think Gasper had one this morning, I think somebody else did as well, but from what I've heard, I think Tony Maserati had had a source telling him that Garoppolo wants to come back here. I can tell you this, I have heard that since that Kyle, Shanahan press conference the other day, which we talked about on Tuesday, Garoppolo in his camper, not happy with the 49ers. Yeah, I wouldn't be happy if somebody wish death on me..

Um, you kind of covered this just a little bit ago, but I've been a Steelers fan since about 79. If you're the Steelers, and you're willing to go away from Rafa's burger, which I'm okay with Who do you have as your top choice? We had Mason Rudolph, who's not NFL Starting quarterback. We got Josh Dobbs, who's not an NFL starting quarterback, unless you're the Jets or something like that. When we got rid of when, when Terry Bradshaw retired. We went to the Cliff Stout Mark Malone Bubby Brister years, including Neil O'Donnell, who was the worst quarterback ever to start a Super Bowl. In my opinion. Who do you go to? Do you want to go back to those years of the Steelers? Everything. You don't want to go back there, But you know, the Steelers didn't want to go back there. It just they didn't have somebody that they thought was ready to step up and take over for Terry. Don't know who else is out there. But once again if you're the Steelers You have to be respectful to bend. And now he's saying it doesn't matter what you pay me. You pay me a couple of million dollars. I want to play. That's a one year guy. Now the bigger picture is And you have a good team. I don't know if you have a great team. What does a better quarterback make you agreed to does that put you on par with the other really good teams in the A F C right now. I don't know who would be available. His Matthew Stafford and play for the Steelers. I guess he would be If you're the Steelers, you got at least ask about dish on Watson, right? What's he gonna cost you?

GM Has a New Logo
"Me set this up for everybody. General motors has a new logo. And it's similar to the old logo. It's still a square box. It has the letters g and m on it. it has 'em on it For those on youtube. Mr bruce's just throwing it up here on our screen we can see. It's it's it's it's it's a rebrand right so the debate going on in the motor one dot com universe is whether this is a good thing a bad thing ridiculous thing a terrible move a smart move. Let me give you a little bit. More background I don't really mind this. Rebrand that much but i also come from a marketing background. I had a marketing career. Long before i went time into journalism. So i i think maybe i get a slightly different viewpoint of the rebranding process and why companies tend to do it But john why don't you lead off because that's the reason you're here john is. John is the one that opposes my viewpoint and wait one second here. I get to play referee here. I get the. I'm calling the balls and strikes if someone starts taking too long. I get veto power. Because my thing is i have a completely different opinion. That both of you. That i will express at the end but comes up in. This discussion of re brands is that we've been seeing a lot of them a lot of the just in the past year i am going to share an image with you guys Is right now of three of them. What we say so. Volkswagen simplifies their emblem. Bmw's simplifies their Nissan simplifies their envelope. All of this has happened in the past year and there are other examples that i can pull up. There's maserati there is a mazda. Oh so this has kind of been bubbling up and then this. Gm one came up and chris in john in our motor one chat kind of started going at things and so i wanna give them the opportunity both to air their feelings about this badge and then when they're done i will come in at the end and give my opinion which is barely different from both pairs. So i'm gonna pop up an image of the gm badge. Actually i the they are going to tell you how they feel about the emmett. Mr neff i yield the floor to the distinguished gentleman. Here the image you popped up the gm the new gm logo Bruce was black and white. It's forgiving that is i would say the best version of the logo. Oh their degree. There's the gradient one which i think adds a level of ridiculousness to the logo so For those not viewing on youtube it is this new. Gm logo with a gradient. That goes from aquamarine blue into like the traditional jam. Blew into another blue All right so my views on this level. When i see it my first impression is that it is juvenile. That's the word. I used that chris and i were arguing over in our chat. I say juvenile. Because i think it looks like Like gm created an iphone app and this was the icon for it Or you know this is something a this looks like the The icon for new adobe software next to your photo shop and your illustrator It's trying to look Hi tack and and Not bleeding edge but more like you know. I'm part of the software revolution Which is true. That's happening in cars. Software and computing power is growing exponentially more important Let me take a note of that really quick. You said it's true. Sure sure that is granted and of course another reason that that the juvenile comes to mind as they went from two capital letters Which is proper grammar for It's an acronym general motors. You know and they went to to lower case letters so that has a juvenile edge to it to me This gradient is ridiculous and a first year. Art student would probably create that in photoshop And some people say like it's supposed to evoke a plug. And i guess i guess that's supposed to be negative space of the m and the underline of the m. Maybe i don't know. I i don't really see i don't get that as a strong message. from the logo. Now when i say it's bad. Like when i say it's bad like i don't think it's the worst thing in the world My perspective is that. If if i were if i were running the company. Or if i were an executive in the boardroom that day i would raise my hand and said we need to rethink this. This is not what we wanna do. that said i don't think logo bruins gm. I don't think. I don't th- i actually don't think logos and names of companies have that much power especially if your product is good. Your product is good. It can overcome a logo or or a bad name. And i say that having worked at a couple of websites that had ridiculous bad names and we're still successful because they were just good websites and people look past the name and just you know they thought of the brand of the site as as what the product is and the name took came on Took on a new meaning. And i think this logo could be the same way you know if gm succeeds in its easy. Revolution will probably look at the logo. with you know in a completely different way than we do today when gm's future plans are all promises and vaporware right now

Kids, You Gotta Love 'Em: Recognizing What Is Really Important
"What is what is really important. And those thoughts go through my mind. What's really important. And i learned this through my kids a lot. God shows me to my children about a year later. They were in bed one night. My boys shared a room and we live downstairs and their room was upstairs in the middle of the night three in the morning i hear thought he was sick. I run up the stairs. Walk in his standing on his bed standing on his bed. Like a superhero. That i said do what are you doing. Data like he'd been rehearsing this or some three in the morning. Daiei chocolate mill now nine nine time and he looked at me like maybe he didn't hear this right. I'm standing up. Should get many drops to his knees daddy. Mileage now dude. It's night night time you've got to go to bed. And he looks at me and the look on his face is like what part of this do you not get. I'm saying all the right earns and a lame down. He's like daddy was dude. Did you all the chocolate milk you want in the morning but right now it's nighttime and he put his head on the pillow and he turned up chocolate milk. I said nobody it's nighttime. And he rolled over with okay to add a line and he went to sleep. And as i walked down the steps it was one of those moments now. God has never spoken to me. Audibly never heard that but it was between conscious unconscious that part of the soul. Where you just like. I know this is something more than me in guy just whispered can. That's the way i want you to be. I want you to ask for anything. And just know that i'm only going to give you what's best when it's best and i was just. I literally stopped on the stairs. That oh wow see. Not only do i want to recognize those moments. I want to recognize the moments as they're happening. And i need help with that too and i asked got got helping not miss these moments.

How to Create the Perfect Avatar to Grow Your Business with Julio Chavez
"Let's get right to it. Tell us first of all i. What is an avatar. Not the movie that the movie right is people who do not know what that is. First of all assure. Okay so these way to explain that an avatar is essentially the these sort of customer that you want to sell to in the most basic sense right What i'm going to be talking about today is essentially you creating that and i know there's probably many of you Listeners out there. That are like okay. Yeah i've heard about this. You know or maybe you think you even created one. But i wanna challenge you to revisit it because there are two big problems. I normally see the first being that when it comes to an avatar By the way is that noise too. Bothersome pio okay. I just wanna make sure could be low so the first being that you go to shallow so in other words if you are creating your avatar this person that you're selling to and you go to shallow. You might just be saying. Like i wanna talk to everybody. I wanna serve everybody. I want to help everyone in their different nations. And then you can go to deep where you're giving your nehring down search so much that it's not beneficial and it can just be more time consuming than anything so. Let me give you an analogy here. So we're talking about like Dating as an example right the primary one too shallow is like i wanna marry or date for In this particular circumstance literally anybody anybody who is you know. Eighteen to to to eighty five. I don't care let's go out. That is not beneficial to you. Especially if you're trying to find that one person you'd if that's what you're putting on your dating profile or that's what you're doing when you're walking in the club and you're just like literally anybody who's interested in me in me. Let's go out. It's probably going to work out for might be a bad example to you. Went to there you go right go right ahead yeah And then there's the other side to it where it's like it's too deep where you're like. Okay i'm only interested in guys or girls or whatever you know that are thirty to thirty one. And they only shop on whole foods on thursdays and they only drive yellow maserati. Something like that is so specific. That is actually very problematic. Because then you narrow down your search so much that it's just impossible to find somebody that to to serve in that. In that way right there was some benefit to that because you can now think about income level if they're driving new maserati Can think that. Hey they shop at whole foods so they might have some some of the same common belief systems. That i have so in. In that regard you did get a little bit into the right brown but it was just too specific if that makes sense. Yeah so the idea that you kinda wanna do this. Like goldilocks method. Where it's not too shallow Like you want to okay. There's a there's something going on power washing high windows or something. I don't know. I'm sorry. Everyone i know this is crazy. Police stick with me. It's important to understand that petar. So yes like i said. They both have their pros and cons in their own ways What you wanna do. As i mentioned is do that. Kind of goldilocks method. Where it's not too show not too deep and you want to kinda give yourself just the right Just the right amount of of a filter. I suppose as far as like who you can serve in how you can do that before i go into that. Brian was there something a question you wanted to ask that. I may be able to answer. In case i wasn't very clear or you couldn't hear me because of the incredible amount of noise that's happening decide. Just what people who maybe. Why is this important. Why why why. Can i just go ahead and just put my offer out there to for all to see. Why is it important for them to have this advertised to be so to be so defined in this way. Sure i'll tell you the first hand. It's because if you say i can serve anybody. You're really serving. Nobody like this mind. That might have been okay for you to do. Ten fifteen years ago online when facebook was barely starting out and all that stuff. Because you know you're like one of the only But if you talk about something as simple as like advertising. I think if i remember this correctly it was like twenty sixteen. There was something along the lines of like three point eight million advertisers on facebook. But today in twenty twenty. There's almost nine million advertisers like. It's it's such a large pool and we're all gaining and you know saying. Hey look at me. look at me on. People's news feeds mobile sites. And all that that. If you don't understand who you're speaking to all that money that you're going to be putting towards ads is gonna end up being wasted all that time that you're putting towards organic social media post things like that Are being wasted as well. Because you're just not gonna get the sort of engagement what that's likes or comments or click on your link in order to apply for your service or your program. You're just not going to get that because you're not speaking to this one person you

Cars That Matter
A Chat with Andy Cohen, Co-Founder of Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories
"This is it manner. Part of the cars that matters equation has more to do with the people that own them and drive them and love them that it does about the cars themselves. That's where my guests dandy. Colin is really just exactly the kind of person we WANNA talk to get a sense of of how cars that matter have affected him. How in many ways? He's been one of the arbiters of taste that has helped to determine Herman which cars do matter. India president of Beverly Hills motoring accessories company that began in one thousand nine hundred seventy six back at a time when well cars were. We're not quite the uniform transportation pods that they are today. So we WANNA talk to Andy about a lot of those things Andy. Welcome to the show and We look forward to learn a little bit about your car. Is that matter sure. Thank you very much. I was at a young age. Twenty years old. Living in New New York Long Island to be interested in cars at that time was very looked down upon. What part of Long Island did you go up on? Great and what year are you talking about. Say Graduated High School in Sixty four so in sixty four. You think people look down on someone who was a car aficionado in New York. Oh boy do over at Roosevelt raceway and near Roosevelt field where they had all those great straightaways and we could see what our cars could really do when someone had to give somebody some cute girl the pink slip of our car before we showed off the new engine. We put into a car that would otherwise have gone very slowly and then a surprised everybody with the power behind our hot Rod. I would bet that you ruled the roost back. Then well I I did that I could. Everybody remembers their first car. The ones they saved up for even built from scratch per andy talked his father into buying a sixty four pontiac. Tempest tempest within three twenty six cubic inch v eight and a three speed stick but then six months later they came out with that. She te'o and I'm thinking God. Why didn't may have that when I got my dad by car so I have the scheme us what away for the weekend with my mother to Florida and I said took me and my friends we're GONNA make this tempest into GTO? So I went into a reckoning. You heard I bought a three eighty nine cubic inch motor. Because that's what they were. You're from a Grand Prix and I proceeded to concoct a story that I was riding on the boulevard. I hit a rock broke the oil pan at Emmett if the engine I didn't fall out. Yeah so have this game I went and get the motor from the wrecking yard. What to put it in it was completely different than the GTO engine and it took four months? Let's get everything all about at the play hood at the custody headers. I mean everything was different. My Dad was taking a bus and very mad at me and I just said New New York wasn't a place for me. I didn't like the call. I didn't like the weather I didn't like crowds. They didn't like anything so I said southern California's it so to move out here. You're sixty seven nine hundred sixty seven. I didn't know anyone I didn't even know which way to go so I got off. The Plane Got Century Boulevard. went to the four or five Rui and said go north or South. I don't know because I didn't know anyone turned left and went north. I got to the top of the pass going down into the San. Fernando Valley was September thirty degrees hotter as they went down into the valley. I loved it because the hotter the better so I went down. The Hill got off at Ventura. Boulevard saw Holiday Inn and kind of made that my center for a few years Earth. A great story. I don't even know if that's repeatable then Robert. He moved out here in sixty seven. That's right at the man that's when you wanted to be in the car scene gene so it begs the question Andy. What was your first car when you got out here? My first car that I built actually was a nineteen forty four woody. That already had a three twenty seven. I'm an engine in it and I actually have restored three times. They still have. It's black and has corvette motor independent suspension drives drives like my maserati fantastic so I got the combination combination of of all those things and I actually bought my first Ferrari in nineteen seventy eight. It was two three eight one of my friends who have bought it from was far Dillard to Mexico and he said Handy you interested in buying Daytona spyder. I said sure tell me about it. This was a nine hundred seventy eight. It was owned by a prince. Turki I think is still around his predecessors are in Newport Report Beach Daytona spider and ill will not one of those fake streams ruined and in fact talk about like before the Internet. The only way I could find out if it was is a railway. Todo Spider was semi telex the primary factor. And then three years later. I found out that that car was the first Daytona spyder made. What a fantastic art art? That's one of the cars of everybody's dreams. I mean they tone. A spider is an iconic thing and boy is certainly created a sensation. Such that there was so many saws all taken AAC into the roofs of perfectly good Daytona. coupes that yeah. They ruined a lot at Daytona Coupe. They shared that one hundred. Twenty two daytona spiders for all years and it's still one of the most sought after valuable cars. Of course I sold it a long time ago. Well those are the stories. That'll be another show cars that matter that we wish we still had but it I think that's that's the part and parcel of the process to you. Know we're just custodians of these things and I think the real the real Enjoyment is yes Being able to kind of cycle through an evolution of cars in our stable. Unless you're one of these guys that has the resources and the and the the Kind of mental wherewithal to encompassing a garage. Full of hundreds of cars. It's it's too much of a good thing and I think being able to cherish a prize that they tone a spider a couple of other special personal examples. That's what car ownership is really all about. What was your first Special Cairo? Oh Gosh my first. Special special car was the first one that I could afford. That was quite triumph in and of itself and not a triumph literally it was actually a BMW sixteen hundred and Back like Nice start. Well no nobody knew what those things were. They were just little ten shit boxes back in the early seventies but they were quite a handful for a guy learning the whole essence of vehicle dynamics handling dynamics hammocks what does it take to actually make a car do certain things and those were manual back. Then they were all manual and You know you really had to work hard to to make that thing go fast. You know the old all saying you know you can have more fun making a slow cargo fast than a fast cargo slow and it certainly holds true with something like that little forbidding or BMW. Would you want that Car Oregon today you know. I actually tried to find bill. I'm sorry I sold a damn thing but you know when you're a college student and you're kind of starving. You have to do it. You have to do. Actually I had different priorities forties. I sold it to buy a stereo. I remember that guy that came to buy it. I was trying to sell it for twelve hundred dollars. Exactly what I paid about. Maybe a year before so this guy comes to my mother's house where I'm staying over the summer and he was kind of a shifty looking character. I'm not sure where he was if I had again. I'd say someplace like Transylvania and after talking a little bit of negotiation he says I'll give you six hundred dollars and my monkey a said. Oh boy I love monkeys and stuff. But I'm in college. Listen I got a roommate and I rather have the twelve hundred bucks. I figure it was like an organ grinder monkey or something like that but Needless to say we did a cash transaction the BMW MWR away. I've been looking for ever since and is the monkeys fill around so feeding you. I'm not you q m three sixty three. If anybody ever sees. He's a black California played out there with those numbers.

FCA's Tornado Inline-Six Engine Rumor Comes Back Into Focus
"If you've been paying attention to mow par news recently. You've probably heard the same disturbing rumors that I have and that's that. FCA is going to be killing the five point point. Seven heavy in the Pentastar V. Six to make room for a new engine that they're calling the tornado. This engine is rumored to be a derivative of the current turbocharged the charge four-cylinder found in Alpha males and upon its release. It's supposed to be found in S. Rt Vehicles Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Now you're probably asking. Is there physical evidence. Yes some Mo- par sleuth some Sherlock Holmes found. A schematic a technical drawing that shows this engine and apparently it was found on the US PTO which is the United States Patent and trademark office and basically what happened was FCA filed the patent on the design of this engine. So whether smoke there's fire folks so this this may be true after all some numbers that are being thrown around when it comes to. This engine are a single turbo version. Standard that comes with three hundred sixty horsepower there will also be a high performance version that is twin turbocharged with five hundred and twenty five horse. Power I don't know what will be in between those two the numbers but that's pretty impressive. So currently the Pentastar v six I think is around three hundred horsepower and this new inline six starts at three hundred hundred and sixty plus. It's boosted so this is getting interesting so we'll see what happens apparently it's going to be using. FCA's new technology. He called E.. Booster e booster technology. I don't know anything about it. I haven't done research to speak on it but I WANNA do some research and dig up some facts apparently So from what I gathered the booster technology is basically a way that they've come up with to reduce turbo lag electronically that's all I know. Oh and that's barely anything so take my word with a grain of salt now if you have the same mindset as me. You're probably thinking at first when you heard this rumor at first you're probably like they're killing off the five point seven. Hemi what are they doing. But I mean when you look at that I number that three hundred sixty horsepower. Think think about the power output of five point seven Hemi and then maybe you're GonNa Change your mind a little bit because guess what you know with the five point seven Hemi gone. That's okay because we still have these folks relax. We still have him as they haven't gotten rid of him yet. And maybe the idea of a turbocharged inline. Six sex isn't so bad after all because you know when it's all said and done we still have the six point four three ninety two and we still have the six point two supercharged. Tammy's so you know I don't think it's something to be too worried about. I think a new platform to play with would be a lot of fun especially when you start talking talking about boost. There's a reason why so. Many people are turbo charging and why they're utilizing superchargers to build power because they do

Fiat Chrysler finds new merger partner in Carlos Tavares
"French carmaker. PSA which owns Pirjo and Fiat Chrysler. Automobiles it's Italian American rival have agreed to pursue a merger that would create the world's fourth largest carmaker and reshape the ultimate of sector. I'm here with a motor industry correspondent Peter Campbell. And we're joined down the line by David Kayhan in Paris to discuss the merger. Hi Guys Peter Tell us first why these super super mergers have been considered at the moment. What's the rationale behind them earn? What's the most notable recent mergers in the sector so call makers of facing stresses from a lot of a different direction at the moment? They're facing falling sales in the facing the need to invest in some quite expensive new technologies electric cars. They need to sell to the C O talks across Europe and China as well as driverless vehicles and other such technologies that looking at now. What are these things cost money? And it makes very little sense for all of the world's carmakers call makers independently to spend the billions and billions that they need to develop this technology. It's much more sensible for them to tie up. A great proponent of this theory was Sergio Marconi the late former chief executive of fit cruiser who oversaw the merger between Fiat and Chrysler itself. WHO said the comic is need to tie up in order to avoid duplication teaching the list massive spending that they have to make? It's just too much cash. They need to splash right. So what are the relative strengths of the Fiat group. Compared to pressure so both companies are incredibly complementary geographically Peugeot exists almost entirely in Europe asam stuff outside Europe. But it's very very strong strong in Europe. Fat Chrysler despite being called fat is in fact predominantly in North America organization. Almost all of its profits. Come from selling pick-up trucks and very large. SUV's in the North North American region. It owns the ram heavy truck brand it ends jeep globally Lens Africa and Maserati and so for these companies they complement each other geographically and and what PSA has shown with its takeover of Opal which owns Fox hole in the last few years is that this is a company that can manage scale in European mass mass manufacturing so it already owns a number of volume brands in Europe. It audience Persian and sit. Trinidad's open phones Vauxhall. You would add to that fat if this merger went ahead head. And they've already showed that they can make these efficiencies of scale work within a single region within Europe which would be an advantage but PSA really although it's had an incredible Rana that's very profitable. Its growth is sort of come to an end really needs to try and push into North America which has plans to do unto its own steam and it really needs a serious premium. AM nameplate a merger with fair crews which is very strong in North America and has offer may a massive rati and jeep brings that I say so David John Elkin. WHO's the one of Italy's Agnelli families? The Italian billionaire behind axle which controls Fiat Chrysler and also the brains behind the proposed merger but his his attempt to do a similar deal with Renault early. This year failed at this plenty of examples of failure here. What happened there? Why did I go wrong? Defensive Him you ask really. FCA In parallel talks with Reynaud and Persia for quite a while but particularly since the start of the year. What people have told us that the whole time? They're in these as talks. They actually wanted runner. That was number one target. But I didn't know that so Iran may the news was given to the profoundly particular and generally that they were going to go over a nice over a good the only problem from. Sei's point of view. Is that across the table from the Reynolds argest shareholder was the French state. You might know that Renos found itself in a particular situation with its Japanese partner Nissan. And what the French state said was at Notre for the merger to go ahead. They wanted the explicit it consent agreement approval of Japan. They walked away. It was like ten days. The whole thing collapsed. It was a drama France. Tickets blamed by some sides if you took the French state on background they say maybe the deal wasn't as good for Renos. It could have been directing normal shareholder but either way John alcon sure. The French date didn't like what it was doing walked away dramatically and that leads us to PSA so would perjures Kosta virus preach batter partner. Do you think it depends. I mean I would cautiously say yes. Tavarez is a big personality big. Co elkhound is buying in is a guy who's not. It's going to take a backseat in any way he's going to be a CEO in charge driving strategy and Alcon will be classic chairman. You'd imagine it's kind of return to demark relationship. He had before maybe it was something. We didn't think he was totally on board. With an part of the reason he went Reynaud but where the project is definitely at nicer fit for FCA. Is that the French state is far less hands on this company. It has a shareholding but in Reynaud you could say that the French state is more like a family company shareholders. Huge emotional ties. It's the largest shareholder as well in Persia. It's a much more traditional shareholder it doesn't lockinge stakes. It's the joints are shareholder shareholder with both the Persian family and China's Dongfang. So you can see why it might be a better partner. Yes so notice. That are lex pages. Describe cried Mr Tavarez's quadri-lingual what kind of big personality is he. What kind of figure does he cut in the car? Industry globally so taveras is renowned and as one of the most capable executives across the automotive industry. If you look at his track record is performance. He came into Persia when they will almost bankrupt. He oversaw sore huge turnaround at the company then bought Opel. This was a company that General Motors couldn't make money out of twenty years. They turned that around in very short order and yet at the same time he doesn't have the gigantic room. Filling ego of some of the other executives in the auto industry would be more akin to traveling head of state when they it went overseas. Savar as who is a cost cutter to the core when he comes to the UK to visit the Vauxhall plant at Luton flies into Luton on EasyJet buys is is sandwiches in the corner shop before getting in a taxi to go over to the plant in his better than eight. Uneasy gentleman with US possibly explanation. But it's also true that he really has a way a of identifying with the ground level workforce as well as the executives and saying guys. You are the team here is up to you to deliver this turnaround plan has to go ahead. And he's been quite good actually particularly in the Opel turnaround of avoiding plant closures. No everybody thought when he bought Opel there we're going to have to shut factories and he said we're going to do this plan without shutting factories and they brought he managed that and what we expect from the FCA deal if it goes ahead. Is that going to make a commitment not to close any of either. I accompanies plants as a result of the turnaround as a result of trying to make savings here and so two Varas is seen. At least at the highest levels of most capable automative executives that gives at the moment and by some people is ranked the best glibly anywhere interesting David. How's he viewed inside of corporate France? If you like with a problem we have a terrorist journalist. This is not enough that stuff to say about him. It's genuine issue now. He's considered in France and piracy to be one of the best. I mean one of the reasons. The French government are supporting. This is because Tabarez is there. He's seen as being a safe pair of hands he sees having done a really great trainer ended Persia and he's seen as someone that they can trust in putting together this merger that's right but he has this cultural index territory. The allows him to associate with work in different countries so when he bought Opel everyone was naturally worried Opel. They were about to get fired but he walks into the headquarters Opel in Germany. All the stuff of April assembled there and his opening lines to the Marin German now he doesn't speak German but he'd learned some opening lines in German and was greeted with a big round of applause but also with the sense in the room that this was a guy who was on their side. It makes a big difference right okay. Personalities a site. Let's let's talk about some of the numbers here. What are the terms of the proposed? David I mean where would the merge creeped based for start. Well that's a very good question when that we don't really know the answer to yet. The idea is multiple As it stands but just very quickly so it's a fifty fifty all stock merger and there's going to be a special dividends and payouts. Either side equalized equalized values but analysts are suggesting that this looks like PSA buying FCA and part of the reason you can say that is the construction of the board Komo correct. He has eleven people five each plus Tavarez so the governance is tilted towards Paris. We will be watching to see where the operation headquarters is really eighty based where Tavarez sits even if I think Peter you might jump in here as well. FCA They're used to bring multiple countries in a way that maybe we'll create tensions. Well this brings us very nicely into the cultures of both companies to. FCA was a company that was borne out of this merger between Fiat and Chrysler and as such as a headquarters in London but but a major office insurance and a major office in Auburn Hills. Chrysler is based and whereas many car companies are deeply rooted in the national culture. These guys genuinely feel we'll multinational and they genuinely feel more global and they've actually culturally made a merger work which historically the consciousness quite difficult to do right. We saw DaimlerChrysler the fall apart we saw Ford Not Really Gel with any of the premium brands. It owned Volvo Janke Arrest Martin etc and at the same time you've got. PSA which also is culturally in quite an international fit because it has a British Brandon Vauxhall at has a German Brandon Opel and again it's made an automotive merger work in recent history and so one of the biggest barriers to auto mergers is cultural and it always is and it's the factions between different rival governments wanting a place at the table and to the fact that you've got to companies that are sort little mood globally cultural and have recently made big complex multi-country images work does bode quite well for these. Two companies being able to culturally fit together. which is a huge hurdle and obviously not a financial one but a key one that really needs to be overcome for any automotive motor to work now to think that assuming this goes through? Do you think there will be cost-cutting. This time we've spoken about how Mr Tavarez avoided this in the past but do we think an ax will fall this time around. They've talked about Oh savings of three point seven billion euros which they go to try and realize eighty percent of those within the first couple of years of the deal going through now. They haven't broken out exactly where that comes from. They've said it's not going to be plant closures if you look at. PSA during open takeover they managed to save a lot of money by shortening labor hours thousand doing various things around the way they utilize space in the factory floor but a big chunk of savings in a big rationale for the deal in the whole is as we said at the start to avoid duplicating investment it costs so it'll be avoid. Investment cost into electrification and avoided investment costs not just intellectuals -cation autonomy but also inter individual platforms so you built a car on. They'll merge those together they'll get huge potential savings and of purchasing components together all kinds of classic industrial merger synergies. I mean David. Is that message sticking in France. I don't think this merger would have been given the green light or been greeted with such political approval as it has been so far if it hadn't been for guarantees. He's about jobs and I think that's true in Italy as well. I don't think they're going to be closing plants. I just don't think it's politically tenable as Peter says for. They're going to be. Finding the savings is in our D adoption. Those kind of things. So if you're a betting man do you think the magic. We'll go ahead and if it is who then are the biggest rivals to the merged group. Rule the move music safaris overwhelmingly positive. The fact the French government seemed to be behaving better than they did last time older. That's not a terribly high bar bodes well for the whole thing going through now. What we're expecting expecting is it? Within the next sort of two three four weeks we'll get a memorandum of understanding between the two companies that will set out potentially more details about synergies potentially more details about management structure and various other things. Maybe even headquarters details then. Obviously the whole thing has to go to show. Does it both companies who have to approve them is quite difficult to to see them derailing that and then obviously it has to go through various other regulatory huddles. They also have to deal with antitrust issues so this will be the largest carmaker in Europe. It could be bigger than Volkswagen that market share in some countries such as constantly will be very high so they may have issues with that but no one seriously thinks that's going to derail l. the deal so assuming everything goes smoothly you could see it close within say nine months potentially two year. There's always a bit of leeway with these things either side and then obviously they will be the fourth largest in the world behind reminisce. And if you're treating those companies is one that's the whole other but also Volkswagen Toyota and on readiness and those three make ten million cars a year. These guys will make eight and a half million calls year that puts them slightly ahead of General Motors. You make about eight but they will be easily within the global top five for well. This is going to keep busy for the next year or so. Thanks Peter an thanks David thank you wolf listening.

From wondering, I'm David Brown, and this is business worse daily. Happy Friday, everyone if you visit the website of remind maple syrup producer, the maple Gill, you'll read, what looks like a joke. So a chef a chemist and a Wall Street defector walk into a bar it begins. Well, in fact, the leaders of the maple guild, which launched in twenty thirteen are completely serious. Unlike the homegrown syrup producers that have populated the crap since the eighteen hundreds, the maple guild is run by someone from Wall Street, founder, Bob Sol as an executive with fiero. Comex Montreal private equity company that acquired the company two years ago from its base on twenty four thousand acres of Vermont woods, the guild has set it sights on becoming Vermont's biggest organic maple syrup producer. It has a good start. It owns more maple trees than any other. Single producer in the world in doing so it's challenging the powerful federation of Quebec maple syrup producers, that organization union more than thirteen thousand independent producers sells seventy percent of all the maple syrup purchased worldwide as a legal cartel regulated by the Canadian government. The federation sets syrup prices last year a barrel of syrup was worth twelve hundred dollars. That's eighteen times, the twenty eighteen value of crude oil as Vermont public radio said last year maple syrup is liquid gold. No surprise, then that challenger with roots in Wall Street would see an opportunity in the Vermont woods. A chance to break the whole federation has on our taste buds, and our wallets, the rivalry between the maple guild and the federation is such big business that it attracted the attention of none. Other than Bloomberg, which is typically more interested in Microsoft and Maserati than maple syrup. One reason why the maple guild can entertain such huge ambitions is the technology is come to the old fashioned industry maple. Gill sap, steamer can turn twenty two hundred gallons of sap into fifty five gallons of syrup in fewer than ninety seconds. Bloomberg reports in a traditional sugarhouse that same process can take hours even days because of new production techniques maple syrup output tripled between two thousand two and seventeen. Even as climate change was shortening the sugaring season, and making it far less predictable still the maple producers will keep pumping out as much syrup as they can feeding our insatiable desire for the stuff sales are growing fast as consumers look to replace white sugar with natural sweeteners as a result maple syrup is turning up in just about everything from yogurt. Energy drinks to coffee and beer as it taps into this growing market. But maple guild isn't just fighting the federation, it's also scrapping with two large decades-old, Vermont syrup producers butter not farms and Kuhn's family farms, like the Canadian maple cartel. You can bet that neither of them will go down without making things very sticky for the upstart maple guild.

A Fiat Chrysler Merger With Renault Would Create 3rd Biggest Car Maker
"Support for this podcast and the following message come from American pest as the leading provider of safe, sustainable pest control solutions across the DMV. Let American past help you to take back your home or business from menacing pests visit them today at American pest dot net. Fiat Chrysler is proposing a merger with the French automaker Renault, Reynaud says it's considering it, this merger would be a big deal. It would create the world's third biggest car company after Toyota and Volkswagen. Here's NPR's Camilo domino, sqi, a merger this big would be striking, but not totally surprising. Fiat Chrysler has been looking for a partner for a while. And there, there are limited partners available. Michelle crabs is an analyst with auto trader and Cox automotive. She says, meanwhile, the French Renault had a long standing alliance with the Japanese automaker Nissan that was working. Well, and then things went awry, when former CEO Carlos gone was arrest. Sted in Japan for alleged financial misdeeds and things have just been unraveling now both fiancee's and Reynaud are eyeing their options when it comes to who though partner with as they prepare for big changes in the industry. Many major, automakers have already been partnering up over the last couple of years. There are two reasons first after years of record growth. The auto industry is starting to slow down and that decline is expected to continue. Meaning fewer car sales less revenue at the same time, automakers need to be making big investments in the future things like electric vehicles and self driving cars, and it's a tough one, because you're investing in something that isn't profitable today isn't going to be full tomorrow, but might be profitable might be essential in ten years time. Mark Wakefield is an automotive consultant at Alex, partner's upstart companies like tesla and even ride hailing services like Uber and lift. They're bringing new competition. In response established carmakers are closing ranks towards each other to be able to share costs and to be able to invest through this like on. That's really what's driving a lot of these merger discussions in partnership discussions to Reynaud has been making electric vehicles for years, while Fiat Chrysler, has been lagging behind its decided to focus on money-making brands like Jeep, and ram, big pickups, and SUV's. Plus, it has premium brands like Maserati Reynaud is pushing smaller low cost vehicles Fiat Chrysler thrives in the Americas. Particularly in the United States. Reynaud doesn't sell cars in North America at all. But it's a major player in Europe and Russia that also like a pretty good fit. One has small cars in the other big trucks, one offers luxury vehicles. The other goes down market, but they feel have problem which is trying to Felipe Munoz is an analyst at auto researcher Jada. Dynamics. He says, neither company has a foothold in the crucial Chinese market. Then there are the practical problems of merging and not in another culture. I know the more factories that's more people to teach to work together, which Fiat Chrysler, has to do already since the merger that made it back in two thousand fourteen Blyleven cries which are Italians on American that way only but he's not an easy thing. And it would be even harder if you try to preserve the French Renos alliance with Nissan of Japan, another complication Reynaud is part owned by the French government and has strong unions. The want to preserve local jobs, Fiat Chrysler says the deal if it happens would not result in any plant closures. Camilo dominancy, NPR news.
