Transcripts For CNBC Power Lunch 20240711

With a new show on cnbc, highlighting Small Businesses and the people behind them across the country power lunch starts right now welcome to power lunch. Im john fortt take a look at whats driving the Market Health care stocks the biggest laggards while industrials and financials lead the way. Check out the bank names all higher tesla, the big winner. At the highs of the session, helping to turn the nasdaq almost positive, close to break even midday. Morgan stanley final upgrading the stock to a buy after a 500 gain this year lets get to bob pisani for more on these markets bob, you got me . Maybe not. Kelly, do you see what is happening with these markets i mean, were showing the sector snapshot here. Weve got s p retail is higher ahead of a Holiday Season we expect to be really strong for ecommerce and weve seen strong results this week from walmart and target yes, we do. By the way, i want to point out well, i want to point out that the dow turned negative only in the past hour or so. We were hanging onto slight gains throughout most of the morning. We were are down a quarter of a point. Lets get to the good news on the vaccine front. Pfizer and biontech saying their vaccine is 95 effective when will these vaccines start to become available . Meg tirrell joins us with that piece of the story meg . This process is going to start moving quickly we know pfizer says its going to apply for fda emergency use authorization within days. Moderna said on monday when it got its interim results it would apply within weeks in kicks off a regulatory process. The companies have to file with the fda. The fda will then hold meetings of its outside advisers on vaccines to discuss these two applications after that the fda makes a decision then the cdc Advisory Group would weigh in on vaccine prioritization, who should get it first, things like that now, we do have some sourcing on when that Fda Advisory Committee meeting mike takes place were hearing from two sources that december 8th, 9th and 10th we might see these meetings being held and they might discuss the fizer and moderna vaccines this ahead of them potentially being authorized operation warp speed just held a briefing about what comes next with these vaccines. They said they want to get them out within 24 hours of the fdas green light. Here is what we are looking at in terms of supply, at least initially of both of these vaccines together. They say there should be enough for 20 Million People in 2020. 25 million per month starting after that after we get more vaccines, that will increase. There is not going to be enough of these vaccines at the beginning, particularly when you look at the numbers of covid right now. 150,000 daily cases. The numbers of people in the hospital going up at a rapid pace currently more than 76,000 americans hospitalized with covid. Yesterday we recorded more than 1500 deaths from the disease you couldnt be in a more urgent situation as we finally get close to potentially seeing the first vaccines being authorized. Guys what about this new athome testing kit that i believe the fda is authorized. I understand there might be some delays in getting that out to people more broadly. Its really exciting to see a test that can be taken and you actually get your results at home there are a few caveats here it will only be available in two locations in the beginning, in Northern California and florida. They expect it to be available more broadly starting in the spring of next year. Its also expensive. Its 50 you need a prescription from your doctor. So, this is not the sort of extremely available rapid cheap home test that many in the field have been calling for. Some hope is signals the fda is more open to authorizing those tests to follow. Meg, appreciate it john kelly, no rally for wall street on that positive vaccine progress with the dow still sitting right below record highs. Is todays action showing that all the good news is priced in and what can you still buy lets bring in jeff mills, cio of brynmar trust you like the small caps but are you impressed with the likes of walmart and target i am. You know, its interesting when you look at the performance profile of the market, you can say today is a big nothing we didnt get any incremental boost from the news. At the same time, relative to small caps and other parts of the market, we have to consider whats been driving the market and the weight of tech, for example. When you have days where youre seeing this rotation out of tech, tech underperforming, you see facebook, apple, google all down, that narrow is driving the index down today we have industrials, materials, banks all higher, even Consumer Discretionary higher with amazon down, which is a feat in and of itself overall im impressed with the market i dont think now its about watching the Overall Index because we could have headwinds so its more important to look under the surface and see where you can benefit as we move forward. The underperformers have included some stayathome names that were performing pretty well at the same time, we have this question coming up of when were going to get stimulus and how much i dont know if anybody thinks its a question of if at this point. Should investors be looking to play those two things or other things i think investors should still be counting on stimulus. I tweeted this a week or so ago. Some were skeptical, some werent. But i feel like the vaccine news makes stimulus more likely theres this notionof building a concrete bridge that policymakers now have in washington were building a bridge between today and a time we can see very clearly in the future where activity is going to return to normal i actually think theres a better chance of stimulus happening now when intuition may play the opposite. I think you can play the rotation out of the large cap growth names into areas like small cap, which is an area i like particularly right now. What kind of icebergs in the water should people look out for, maybe moments of uncertainty over the next few months, where a pivot one way or the other could shift things in the market yeah, i think you have to have at least a little caution here in the near term because well be battling over the next couple of months with covid cases rising but with positive vaccine news i think leadership in the market is going to be choppy and i think you could see Economic Activity impacted in the Fourth Quarter and First Quarter of next year. Ultimately, i dont think it details this rotation weve seen i think this rotation is probably going to be something that lasts for multiple years. And i think about specific names and specific industries. We get a lot of questions from our clients. Have we missed the boat. Weve seen this rotation, weve seen big moves in the value and cyclical names already ill give you caterpillar as an example. Its up almost 100 from the lows in march. At the same time, the stock hasnt made any progress over the last three years so, i do think theres areas of opportunity. You may have to be patient over the next couple of months but ultimately i think the market is going to have its eye on 2021. Were well aware, even if we see the economy slow down over the next couple of quarters, the market doesnt have to tb the economy in the near term. Some indices, some individual stocks to take a look at thank you, jeff mills. Thanks, john. Meantime, shares of boeing are off the highs after getting clearance to fly the 737 max in the u. S. The stock is up 25 in the past month. Still down more than 40 from march 2019 when the max was grounded phil lebeau spoke to the head of the faa about todays decision and joins us now when you look at whats going on with the 737 max, this is a plane many people knew would eventually be cleared by the faa to fly again what exactly does that mean. What has changed with the 737 max when it goes back into service now that the faa has said, look, there are fundamental changes that have been made. Updated Flight Control software, which will prevent it from pitching forward on takeoff, which was the mcat software that was at the heart of the two crashes and you noo pilot procedures that have been approved and International Regulators still need to sign off on the max, but they are expected to follow at least all of them with the exception of china that remains to be seen how long it will take for that to happen. Here is the head of the faa talking with us on squawk box about how safe he believes the new max is i would put my own family on it i plan to fly on it myself and but the public will certainly have to make its decisions. But i believe that it is a safe aircraft, it meets our safety and certification standards. Ill stand behind that take a look at shares of boeing keep in mind that the 737 max, which is the most popular plane in terms of the number of orders, but that backlog has come down substantially as airlines have either canceled or deferred future orders in the last year. Its come down about 1,000 aircraft now stands at 3,320 planes thats the backlog of planes, even when you factor in accounting adjustments what about the airlines that already have the max and they need to do the update on the software and the pilot procedures American Airlines is the one that a lot of people are focused on why . Because america plans to start flying the max december 29th the first flight will go from new york down to miami as well meanwhile, youve got united and southwest as you take a look at shares of those airlines, keep in mind they plan to bring the max back in were just going to talk about southwest here theyre going to bring the max back into service in the second quarter. Kelly, early next year is when you start to see airlines not just here in the u. S. But likely around the world start to feather the revamped max back into their schedules will people be able to figure out if theyre flying a max when making reservations if they want to avoid it . Almost every airline. Certainly the u. S. Airlines, when youre booking a flight, it says which aircraft youre going to be on certainly when you get your boarding pass, so if you get it and youre like, i dont want to be on the max, im not crazy about this, if you dont have confidence in it, the airlines will work with you theyve made that clear over the last several months and they have been reiterating that today. Youll be able to say, look, can i go on a different aircraft to this particular destination, but the belief is over time, if there are no more incidents, that peoples memories will start to fade a little bit and they will be less hesitant about getting on the max thats the hope of the airlines and certainly of boeing as well. For sure. Phil, thanks so much our phil lebeau. Weve had a few other things to worry about, especially as far as flying is concerned coming up, target hitting an alltime high as online sales jump 155 in the quarter well talk to the ceo of voxx, how its coping with the flood of new competition.

Welcome back food and security has been a huge problem amid this pandemic with millions of people out of work with thanksgiving coming up next week, there have been long lines at food banks all across the country. Our next guest is trying to lend a hand, announcing a partnership with grubhub today on a program to get meals to people who need them here to tell us about his latest deal, Marcus Lemonis, host of the profit and ceo of camping world. Its great to have you back. Just tell us, first of all, what can all of us do to help out around thanksgiving. What are you launching with grubhub . Its more than thanksgiving as we look at whats happened to small restaurants across america and the Food Insecurity we have, particularly around those looking to find the resources they need, we wanted to create a program that would drive millions of dollars through these local restaurants and, in turn, ask them to feed people. So, grubhub stepped up in a very big way off a single tweet that i sent out and brought world central kitchen to the table we started a program today ironically enough, a couple of days ago, Alex Rodriguez and i made our first surprise visit to a restaurant on southwest eighth street we bought 3,000 meals for one family one restaurant we feel very strongly we got a big problem here restaurants struggling and people hungry. Were trying to fix that so people when theyre using grubhub, they take the change and donate that. We like to pile on big tech and big twitter, but im glad something you put out there has all of a sudden led to this. I think its bigger than that. For arod sure, go ahead i think its bigger than that the big issue we have is that a lot of these local restaurants have been very hard to criticize these food delivery apps and hundreds of millions of dollars were put into developing this technology over the last seven five to seven years what ive told every local Restaurant Owner in america that ive talked to is grubhubs, the doordashs not been there for us, these restaurants would not be open today theyve created this bridge. While the fees may seem higher than people would like, this technology is bridging the gap from consumer to business. It didnt exist two years ago, three years ago. Yeah. Its a great point in the show, when youre looking across the country to help out these Small Businesses, was this an idea that came kind of after and as a result of the pandemic or something i know youve been working a lot in this vein for years anyway. You know what i think has happened, for the last eight years weve been making the profit on cnbc, weve invested in over 100 businesses, and the reality that some of those business that were on the show have really struggled and some of them havent made it. The number of applications we see on the next season of the profit seem to be skewing towards the local restaurants. The alarm bells went off for all of us and said this is not only a small restaurant problem, this is a Food Distribution problem, whether its the cyscos of the world, and its going to pile on and thats whats driving a lot of this for me, along with the Food Insecurity. Good to see you its john fortt. How you doing, buddy. Im doing well. As you look at these Small Businesses and their path not just for the next year, but for the next three years, for the next five years, the kind of help theyre going to need, the kind of advice theyre going to need, what are you saying to them, how are you structuring your own advice, and what would you tell the government to do . Well, listen. Ive been waiting along with a lot of other people for the government to step up and solve the problem for a lot of different people, particularly businesses that are being just hammered by this i dont have time, you dont have time, nobody has time to wait for the government. So, as private citizens and private entrepreneurs and capitalists, which is what i am and why we have cnbc, is to really try to create a solution for people these local restaurants, if they dont renegotiate their leases, renegotiate their food costs, and simplify their process with the understanding that technologys going to be a necessary part of their business going forward, were in trouble. Theres a lot of these restaurants that dont have websites, they dont have relationships with Companies Like grubhub and theyre complaining. I respect that i simple these with ilar these t lets talk about a different part of the Business World whats going on with camping world . We know the rv demand has been huge, but what trends are you seeing with the spread of covid and also heading spew the colder season. Prior to covid even coming into the forefront, i remember being on power lunch, gosh, eight or nine months ago when we were First Talking about it. We are the rv business was already doing pretty well. Its clear that firsttime buyers have come to the market and the demand outpaces the supply by probably 3x. Our inventory as a company was down we reported our last quarter, we were 200 some odd million, which is a significantincrease theres a problem for the marketplace. Heres what i will tell you. Whether its anything outdoor related, boats, rvs, anything like that, the demand is just off the charts and i dont think its just a covid thing. The business continues to be really, really strong. Really strong. Yeah. Well, again, a kind of glimmer, a brighter spot, because we know its really, really tough out there, as you were describing, especially for restaurants and Small Businesses thank you for your time. We really appreciate it. You can catch his new show streets of dreams with Marcus Lemonis december 29th at 10 00 p. M. Pacific. Breaking news moments ago.

Before money, people tools, cattle, grain, even shells represented value. Then currency came along. They made it out of copper, gold, silver, wampum. Soon people decided to put all that value into a piece of paper, then proceeded to wave goodbye to value, printing unlimited amounts of money as they passed the buck to the future. Thats why its time for Digital Currency and your investment in the grayscale funds. Go digital. Go grayscale. Welcome back to power lunch. Im seema modi with six weeks left in the air, nvidia is the Top Performing stock in the s p 500, up almost 130 as its gaming and ai segments drive growth. Earnings are out of the bell and expectations are high with nearly 80 of analysts rating the stock as a buy and only three sells according to fact set. John, number one thing you want to hear from nvidia when the Company Reports earnings after the bell i want to make sure all three of the longterm stories, the investment themes of gaming, Artificial Intelligence and electric cars are still intact and that runaway is still very much with the wind at their back nvidia has the frontrow seat of the three sexiest longterm investment growth stories out there. I want to make sure the street expectations are still very much aligned. Obviously, whatever information theyll provide on the arm deal set to close on the Third Quarter of 2021, 40 billion they say its immediately i would like to get more information on that. Matt, youve been looking at the chart. You say its at a critical juncture tell us why. It had this huge move earlier in the year but the last couple of months its been trading sideways it has fallen a little below its trend line going back to mash march. Thats not a big concern yet, because its broken below that by going sideways rather than rolling over in a significant way. Its interesting because the battle lines are very well defined. If this stock if the stock breaks down from here and breaks below the 500 level, that was the low that hit right at the end of october in other words, it would follow that break below the trend line with a key lower low that would be very negative. However, if the news is good and the stock can rally, retake that trend line and break above the 575 level, that was the highs from september, october and earlier this month any break above that level is incredibly bullish im bullish on this stock. Those two levels are very well defined. 575 to the upside. And currently trading around 540 a share thank you. For more trading nation, head to our website, follow us on twitter. Kelly, over to you.

As the sun rises on the International Space station, two russian cosmonauts taking a sixhour spacewalk theyre preparing the station for a new module pretty cool. Thats the news update this hour ill send it back to you thank you very much. Lets check in on the markets, which are near session lows we did take a leg lower after news about new York City Schools coming out not so much because of the schools economic impact, its the ripple effect. Its the parents who have to stay home, those that can telecommunicate will do that but this is a School District with 1. 6 million kids and families now affected and many of those cant just telecommute. Theyll have to come up with other options. One of the biggest barometers weve been following, the dow down 100 points, another 50point move lower after that crossed. A third of 1 decline, same for the s p 500, down 13 points. Nasdaq down 16 and the russell 2000s are down a point the oil market is closing for the day. Lets check in with cnbc commodity desk, dom chu. We have u. S. Based west Texas Intermediate Oil prices 41. 87 thats a 1 gain world benchmark brent crude futures currently trading at 44. 40 thats up 1. 5 one of the reasons we did see a tick lower on some of those headlines coming out about new york city shutting down those schools because of the infection rates, but what we did see earlier in the day was u. S. Department of Energy Information coming out with supply data. Last week we saw a smaller than expected build in crude Oil Stockpiles in the u. S. , but theres a concern. A much bigger than expected build in gasoline stockpiles as demand is starting to wane amidthese shutdowns tomorrow, kelly, john, we get those big numbers from baker hughes with Oil Rig Counts thats tomorrow afternoon, 1 00 p. M. Eastern time. Looking forward to getting those numbers. Meanwhile, the pandemic is driving people and businesses away from big cities, including in new york and california in an oped for the wall street journa journal, joe lonsdale says overregulation, Public Safety issues and the housing crisis are just a few of the reasons california native joe lonsdale packed his bags and too took his team to texas. Joe, good to see you there are a lot of issues here that you list. Some of which have been going on in california for a long time. Some of which have become exacerbated over the past five years, but what tipped you over the edge i think what tipped it over the edge, its a lot easier to work from anywhere and do business from anywhere frankly, San Francisco has gotten a lot worse in the last couple of years. Its obvious its not a place we want to raise our family. I have experienced the shift in San Francisco, not so much in 2020 because i havent been doing a lot of traveling but over the past couple of years. As you said. What about the political component here you say in the oped that the intolerant far left in california is part of what drove you out. I dont know how much of that is Critical Mass in Silicon Valley because even though people talk about liberal attitudes in Silicon Valley companies, a lot more is libertarian and moderate in the actual companies, right well, you know, i think theres definitely people of all different viewpoints in Silicon Valley but theres intolerant for the left if you try to sleep out and say, this is the solution for homelessness and its different than what they think, they demonize you it becomes so loud in Silicon Valley, for most of my friends, its not worth the effort to get involved because you get attacked youre made to look like a bad person i think it has silenced a lot of responsible leaders in my generation at what point does this start to become a structural risk for the california economy apple just built a campus there in Cupertino Google and apple are building out more in san jose adobe continues to invest there. Yes, they have some investments in facilities and places like austin, but theres a lot of infrastructure there a lot of College Graduates in disciplines theyre looking for, but when does it become dangerous . Its a structural risk for california right now because they pay half the taxes there. They cant afford to be losing frankly, even though some of these people may not be paying that many taxes, the ones building things are the ones that will make the economy work there in the future. At least 50 people i know who have left are builders who say, this is not the place i want to build right now. Its too hard to build new houses, too expensive to employ people right now its becoming an issue. I think they realize, the moderates are worried that the problem its going to be a mess as i was reading your piece, i was thinking about the exodus of people out of these cities like San Francisco, and other people in other states who are worried about the influx and how its going to change their politics yeah, i got i got a lot of notes on this. A lot of notes saying, dear, mr. Lonsdale, please dont bring your blue voting to texas. Theyre very welcoming overall but we have worried people i guess my question is im just curious, joe, because it was such a thoughtful piece. Have your personal politics evolved over the years as well are you somebody who would have been on the more Progressive Side of things when you were younger and that has changed and i wonder what you would say about your your friends colleagues, as sh has watched this all play out, if its changing their mind about things ive become more of a realist. Theres the ideal situation at work and how things actually work in the real world and how do you get things done i have a lot of friends who kind of started off not thinking hard about these philosophical questions, not thinking about the history of our country and whats unique about our country and who appreciate liberty more than they did. A lot more a lot are becoming moderate and want to preserve the Free Enterprise system while taking care of people. The challenge is different people dont realize in texas, if they hadnt had us coming here the last 20 years, senator cruz would have lost its interesting people who are choosing to move have thought about these issues and are deciding to support a free society. There are more people who are moving that dont necessarily represented progressive values. I hear some people in texas, folks i know saying, dont come from california to texas and bring the things that are ruining california apparently youre saying thats not whats happening i want to ask you about prop 22, which just passed in california. Swinging the gig economy thing, i think more in the direction where you would want the things to go. Is that, perhaps, a sign that the Political Climate in california could swing another way . Ab5, which was the crazy contractor law that prop 22 turned over for drivers, it was such a crazy law and took hundreds of millions to pass if it hadnt overturned that, you would have destroyed massive numbers of jobs, made it too expensive for middle class to use uber and lyft. Whats sketchier is you have ab5 and special exemptions and those that dont have the right lobbyists. As i mentioned in the piece, this is how everyone has to go to the government and get special exemptions for themselves and cant do business the fact that california is going that way is pretty terrible. The voters seem to have felt differently about it than the assembly did well see if that continues. Thats a great thing. Hopefully they can keep turning back the assemblys mistakes because its paid for by the government unions. Youre not alone in feeling that way joe lonsdale, thank you for being with us. Thank you the california exodus is having an impact on real estate, especially at the high end robert frank has more on the wealthy who are getting out. Robert california has lost more than 8 billion in income to other states in 2018 and thats left a huge oversupply of luxury homes especially in the l. A. Area. This estate in l. A. Had been listed for 168 million. Now it will become the most expensive home ever auctioned. That will come under the hammer in december. It is owned by the Aircraft Leasing billionaire worth about 4 billion he built the house over five years. Now, he wont tell us why hes selling, because it is 20,000 square feet, 13 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, tennis court, pool house and in North Beverly park. The famous gated Community Home to eddie murphy, Mark Wahlberg and Sylvester Stallone some big deals in california are getting done jeff bezos bought an estate over the summer but lots of others, like gene simmons, the bass player for kiss, he said hes had enough of californias taxes. Hes put his Beverly Hills pad on the market for 22 million. And he is moving to washington state. Kelly, back to you maybe rural washington . My question, we talked about new york City Real Estate and how some of the sale prices havent fallen that much buyers are trying to hold out. Its a much smaller share of the market as you pointed out versus the rentals. Whats happening in california with the sale price of these mega mansions . California is a very Diverse Market San Francisco, that market is getting crushed, just like new york city. L. A. , the high end is oversupplied broadly because theres still a lot of space, youre seeing a pretty solid market even in the sort of middle to up per end, million to 2 million. This Housing Market has remained strong the general population wants more space and more amenities. You are seeing a lot of people from california move to nevada, parts of lake tahoe and also to texas. And so its a little bit of a mix and a much more mixed picture in california than new york city. The suburban and rural is going on everywhere. Robert, thank you our robert frank go ahead more space, less regulation elon musk was talking about moving tesla out of california, too. Well see. Tesla moving higher today on upgrades from an analyst more coming up on power lunch. But we didnt stop there. We made a cloud flexible enough to adapt to any size business. No matter what it does, or how it changes. And we kept going. So you only pay for what you use. Because at dell technologies, we stop. At nothing. And it significantly helped me lower the amount of interest i was paying. Sofi helped me pay off 23,000 of credit card debt. And i just couldnt have done it without them. Sofi helped me pay off 23,000 of what is this . Ebt. We call that a window. Window. Dundundaaa the first big screen. We really need to limit thunks window time. Not now. The birds are on. In my day we fought them. Let me live my life welcome back its time for todays power movers we begin with tesla. Morgan stanleys adam jonas upgrading the to, to overweight and boosting price target to 540 a share he says tesla is shifting from being just a car company to making more money from software and services polaris is falling after announcing the ceo is leighing the company. He will now taking over cnh industrial pol polaris down 5 . Bitcoin breaking above 18,000 for the first time in nearly three years. Wow, kelly. Now to the bond market, Rick Santelli tracking the action there at the cme rick yes, john, lets do a 2020 on the market all 20 years, intraday of 20year, largest ever, 27 billion. It wasnt a spectacular auction. Rates have moved higher, which makes sense when there was avoidance buying into the action if we look at the 20year since last friday, 142 is where it settled. Were still all long maturitiems higher on price. If we look at the first day it traded, the 21st of may, you could see were on the high side that really gives a good glimpse of what rates have been doing the last 20plus months. The dollar index looks to close down for the fifth session in a row. Kelly, back to you rick, thank you very much Rick Santelli. The s p retail index is up about 2 more than doubled from its lows this year as investors bet on a rebound eventually well talk to the ceo of boxed about that and what consumers are buying and stockpiling right now. Stay with us businesses today are looking to tomorrow. Adapting. Innovating. Setting the course. But new ways of working demand a new type of network. You need flexibility to work from anywhere. And manage from everywhere. Advanced technology. With serious security. And reliable coverage, nationwide. Forwardthinking enterprises, deserve forwardthinking solutions. And thats what we deliver. So bounce forward, with comcast business. Welcome back the pandemic shifting the way many consumers shop. Ecommerce seeing a huge boost with target reporting a 155 year on year digital sales, and a 79 boost at walmart with covid cases surging again, people are looking to stockpile essentials online. Joining us now, jay wong thank you so much for joining us let me ask you about some of these figures in particular. Youre seeing cleaning disinfectant items doubling over the past week, toilet paper has doubled, paper towels are up tenfold are you concerned about any shortages . One of the other things i want to add to that, kelly, wine is up 126 week over week. Folks are really stocking up at this point so, you know, its really important for viewers to understand why this is happening. Absolutely, i think were probably a week or two out before some of these shortages really start to hit. It is more regionalized than it was last time where there was a national panicked. Guardrails of being only able to buy one or two its important to understand why this is happening. Its really about timing and the amount so if every american out there goes and buys one of almost anything these days on the same day, yeah, theres going to be a shortage of that item for the time being the timing of everyone going to the stores but hopefully people will be more reasonable this time and buying only what they need and not what they need for the next two years when it comes to toilet paper. True. Although the fact that theyre stockpiling again tells us that maybe the spring stockpile didnt even make it six months are you guys, in general, chieh, taking share this year obviously its an opportunity when people are turning to online, when theyre looking for big box solutions. How are you making sure youre part of that conversation . So for us its really about loyalty. So our business is based upon repeat rates and repeat customers. Were really focused on making sure that the customers that did discover us in march, april and that crazy initial covid stockup period stuck with us throughout and, luckily, between our boxup Membership Program and the other things weve launched weve seen the cohort that came in this year, the stickiest cohort by far in the history of our Company Going back to 20132014 when we first launched all of our data is showing theyre actually sticking with us throughout this entire period. Jon fortt good to see you again. What are you seeing heading into the holiday period i know thats not necessarily your sweet spot but everybody buys more stuff during the holidays to what extent do you expect these loyalty trends to continue into 2021 . Such a great question we debate that endlessly internally when covid really started, the conversation was around well, are they going to shop online for a few months and then come back to in store youre starting to see this isnt some new fad this habit is starting to stick because customers have been shopping online in increasing amounts now for six, seven, eight months by the time the vaccine really takes hold for a full year after you do something for a full year, that starts to become the habit and you have to break that habit to go back. Thats how i see this playing out over the next few years, jon. When it comes to the Holiday Season its crazy to say this. I never thought i would say, but the hot item, i think, will be paper towels, more so than anything out there that will be the hot gift this year when it comes to toilet paper, really interesting kind of point, i hope, for the viewers out there. Toilet paper, you have businesstype toilet paper, commercial toilet paper and kind of household toilet paper. And you can shift the resources and some of the toolings so that you can make a little more household rather than commercial to paper towels theres not that extra capacity to shift to households thats why youre seeing that out of stock at a lot of retailers today.
