A lot of analyst forecasts indicate that oracle has been giving guidance that underestimates the direct from the stronger dollar. Look at the bloomberg terminal this allows us to show you how often oracle surprises when it comes to the revenue line. Overall analysts are looking for a 2 growth last quarter, and in general this is the trend. In the last four quarters, they tend to disappoint when it comes to revenue. In terms of what it is projecting overall an increase but only 2 and the average surprise they have reported in their sales have been 1 over this time that we trekked. Terracked. That gives you a sense of what they are dealing with. Alix one of the big issues in talking to managers is going to be the currency issue for hewlettpackard. We have seen it all across the textch sector. How much will it impact earnings, and forward guidance. Scarlet analysts all saying that they are looking for the company to give their revenue in terms of Constant Currency terms. Strip out the effects of a stronger dollar, the weaker emergency emerging markets, all of that. It will be something were analyst and investors will be asking a lot of questions because nobody will have difficulty projecting a much of him had wednesday stronger dollar will be because they will have a difficulty projecting how much of a headwind the stronger dollar will be. Alix they did guide to about a 4 hit on revenue. What about the great thing about oracle is it is a huge window into the entire world of how sales are going. 30 are in the european areas. A good window into how those countries are holding up in terms of demand. We have gotten a lot of indications from those companies as of late. Scarlet whether it is oracle or intel, who told us that Quarter Sales would this point because of the stronger dollar as well as the slowdown of the pc refresh cycle. All of that coming to an end.

When bill gross with that pimco did you and the other managers disagree a lot cap . I do not think we disagree that much. We have been incorporating the insights of the Incredible Team at pimco. We noticed basically around the time phil left that there were growing divergence economically as well as future Monetary Policy that caused us to think the economy with picking up. We wanted to get the Interest Rate it measured down and increase the currency positions. Over the past 5. 5 years, the team, which encompasses myself and scott have done a good job getting the insight into the portfolio. The portfolio has been quite well. Alix was that a big change from when you work with bill gross . It seems like you pivoted the strategy. Reducing the exposure by about five years. Not a big change. Remember, the pimco strategy is topdown and bottomup. I think one of the benefits with three managers is all of us have worked together for 17 and 19 years. We all have managed very large teams. Scott with global and myself with Global Credit Team and analyst. We get tremendous amount of insight every day from this Incredible Team. We are incorporating 15 much more proactively. Alix part of the issue as everyone expected the rates to go higher and prices to continue to fall, and that did not have been. We saw a lot of redemptions, about 100 billion at the end of september. He can you tell us about where those are right now . Basically some of that money has left. Some of it is going to income at pimco or credit. Some of it could be going into europe. We have managed to liquidity very well. I think the performance speaks to that. Alix what are you going to buy now gekko what is the strategy y . We think the fed will remove patients tomorrow and will raise rates in june or august. The reason is the Unemployment Rate is coming down dramatically. The labor market has added one million jobs. We have added 3. 3 private sector jobs. Unemployment rate of 5. 5 is coming down 1 annually over the past two years. Wages will eventually start to rise. The fed has to be forwardlooking. What were doing is were overweight the dollar versus the euro and the yen. We also have been reducing Interest Rate x version are particularly the front end of the curve that looks very vulnerable. Right now the market is pricing in no Interest Rate hikes. Looking at her market that only 1. 25 literally two years from now. At the end of 2018 2 . Basically no risk premium on the front end of the curve. We have reduced exposure. Alix what do you say to the billionaire ray. Leo who is concerned about the collapse of the fed . Christine lagarde thing it will be hit hard . The reality is the consumers nearly 70 of the u. S. Economy. It is the strongest it has been in years. The income proxy, job growth, income and hours worked. Income proxy is upset 5 . The reality is we are very close to the point where you will see wage inflation. The bottomup suggest it is happening more broadly across a lot of industries. The reality is you want to stay overweight dollars. You want to favor housing and housing way sectors. Finally you want to own inflationprotected securities. Inflation we think we gradually will gradually had higher. Tips are for winners. Alix that is like your slogan. Do you miss bill gross . Of course we missed bill. He is a legend. Pimco is strong 2400 employees around the world and 13 offices in 12 countries. We are routine united, and we are working very well.
