Xhoentsz are lower although exxon is trying to hold on, intel, home depot, caterpillar, ge, theyre the biggest losers, all down 3 , nearly 4 for some of them. The big news around bond yields which are rising again this morning. Were waiting for the ruflts a crucial 30year bond auction moments away yesterdays bond auction was a market mover well see if todays is the same as we start to worry about just how much debt there is out there and whether or not investors are willing to buy it. Check out the stocks that are bucking todays big selloff, however. Twitter is soaring after reporting its first ever profit. Higher by more than 16 . Grub hub and the New York Times also surging. More on all three of these stocks straight ahead. Tyler. Thank you very much, michelle im Tyler Mathisen welcome, everybody lets get right to the store of the New York Stock Exchange where bob pisani is standing by pl hello, bob. Once again in the middle of the day this is becoming a regular thing. S p 500 volume pickup in the middle of the day. Let me show you whats going on with the s p sitting at the lows of the day not quite the lows for the week but were slowly moving back in that direction 10year yields, i think the important thing is we were concerned about them moving up they have reversed in the middle of the day and thats indicative of a bit of a flight to safety trade here with people buying bonds and selling stocks in the middle of the day. How about this market volatility heres the two issues that are concerning people. Remember, the original trigger back on friday was that job growth and wage growth and thats what moved the tenyear yield up the x factor weve been dealing with all this week is that volatility trade, that short volatility, long stock trade that was so big last year in january has been unwinding and thats causing a lot of these big intraday swingds we just dont know how to quantify it and how big it is but its affecting it. If you look at the last few days in terms of trading in the middle of the day for no particular reason suddenly we get heavy selling. This happened on monday. Theres that first circle. Then on tuesday a surprise we were waiting for heavy selling to come in but it didnt happen it dried up and we saw the market lift yesterday. We saw the exact same thing in the middle of the day. More selling in the middle of the day. And were seeing it again in the middle of the day with no headlines and nothing, just more selling. This is that unwinding of the volatility trade that we cant quantify and thats making everybody scratching their heads. Were just going to have to work through it meantime, very heavy volume again today. If you look at the big names i look at, the etfs, the russell 2000s, the triple qs, the spy, this is more than twice the normal volume already and were only halfway through the trading day. Well have to just sort through all of this high volatility. Back to you. Zblankz very much, bob lets get to dominick chu. Hes been looking at which stocks have been holding up in this recent selloff dom. As we take a look at the s p 500 its same to say there isnt a lot of safety at all in the markets these days, a lot of stocks wholesale selling off utilities have been a standout today on that defensive nature of the trade but we decided to take a look at if there is a relative, and i stress that word, relative safe trade in the s p 500, wheres it at, so we scanned and screened the s p 500 stocks for which ones have actually hit 52week highs just so far in 2018 and which ones have actually held up the best believe it or not, 306 stocks within the s p have had 52week or better highs just so far this year 12 of them are holding up within 5 of those 52week high or better levels. Check these names out. Its a sampling of some of the names were talking about. Raytheon on the defense contractor side of things. Only about within 5 of its 52week high, its recent high. Cme group, an exchange operator. A lots been talk about with regard to volatility products, futures, derivatives cme group is only within 4 of its 52week highs. Estee lauder, cosmetics, 4 of its nearterm highs. Vf corporation, clothing, that sort of thing, 4 from its nearterm highs. And then tapestry, formerly known as coach, also just within 2 of its highs as well. So if there is a spot, tyler, that you could call relative safety over the course of the past couple of months, it has been these stocks. Thats not to say that they are safe theyre just the ones that have held up the best in the recent market melees. Back over to you dominic, thank you very much. Stocks obviously extending the losses that weve seen this week the dow now down for the fourth time in five days. The s p 500 and nasdaq down for the seventh time out of nine lets bring in jim paulson, chief investment strategist with the luthold group and mike v vogelsang, president and ceo with boston advisers good to have you here. Jim, you think this correction may have longer to go and that at some point we might reach 10 to 15 off the recent january 26, 29th highs but does that necessarily have to happen in a hurry i dont think so, tyler it could happen in a flash or this could just be a step process that takes several weeks or months to try to find a bottom here. One of the things that bothers me since we had the initial crash is that it really didnt generate the type of fear behaviors youd see at a bottom. It didnt cause a great rush into safe haven bonds or rush into the safe haven dollar or run into gold or a big spread in credit spreads or anything it hasnt even generated a big rise in defensive Stock Performance on a relative basis. I think we need to go lower to generate a level of fear and capitulation that would bring a bottom and that could happen now in a flash or maybe it will be down the road if we get a bad cpi report or something and yields go over 3 mike, jim, hold on just a minute we want to get some fresh news in here. Weve got a news alert on the bond market. 30year bonds up for auction Rick Santelli tracking the action of the cme. Once again, rick, were in one of those environments where bond auctions really matter yesterdays caused volatility. Whats the demand like for Government Debt today . It was soft again today i gave it a dplus now, i was thinking cminus but i gave it a dplus, and ill tell you why the auction yield was 3. 121. It looked like 3. 11s, 311 and a halfs were trading higher yield, lower price. Didnt like the way it tailed off but it was really choppy trading obviously. The bid to cover 32. 26 below the 2. 36 ten auction average pf 61. 2 on indirects was light from 63 ten auction average. The only bright spot was directs at 8. 1 they were about a point, one full percentage point above ten auction average. But consider this. You know, i think that what we are seeing here a little bit is a taper tantrum, any one because we think the Balance Sheets reducing the threeyear, the fed Federal Reserve bod 3 billion of these 30years for their soma account yesterday about 4. 5 billion of tenyears. The day before they bought 4. 9 billion of threeyears so im just pointing out were talking Balance Sheet reduction but the action is in its infancy and were still buying runoff just to put some perspective on why theres some nervousness out there in these markets back to you. All right, rick, thank you very much. Before we go back to our guests, lets take a look at where the markets stand right now. As youll recall, yesterday the bond auction, which was not particularly good either, tended to intensify the selling pressure right now the markets stort of staying roughly where it is at least as marked by the dow 57 for the s p 167 for the nasdaq all of those indexes, by the way, down more than 12 . Recall we didnt have a 2 down day all of last year weve had a couple of those so far. Let me turn to Mike Vogelsang if i might. There are a lot of pressures in the debt markets right now, mike but where have the people gone who would argue that trumping all of that is a global expansion, strong corporate profits, and a very reat growth story . Where have those people gone yeah, i dont think they have, actually back to jims point, which is the right one, we havent seen any real panic behavior out of the individual stock market. Weve seen it in some of the etfs make no mistake, i dont think this is about higher Interest Rates. I dont think this is about economic slowdown or increasing inflation. This was about a small corner of the sandbox thats dominated by a bunch of guys playing short volatility trying to squeeze what they could out of last years market. And they all forgot to take their ritalin and at the end of the day they took a couple of trill dollars off of market capitalizations around the world. Do i think we need some sort of breather here in some of the feelgood stuff in the equity markets . Absolutely i think we need to see some panic. I think its even money that this is just going to turn right around and begin to head back up again, given you know, once we understand a little bit better about the volatility liquidation thats going on. All right so i get that the volatility liquidation may be the kindling, but do you really think the spark was not Rising Interest Rates and when we see a bond auction thats soft like today that seems to accelerate the selling in stocks because Interest Rates once again appear to be rising i mean, bottom line, youre not worried what happens to stocks if Interest Rates rise of course we are. We do think that at this point in the cycle look, Interest Rates going up isnt new weve been seeing this since the last six months not this quickly, right just to put a fine point on it well, theyre going up. Its not a surprise. Right. These have been moving up for a long time. The point is i think at this part of the cycle with Interest Rates this low, Interest Rate yields should be positively correlated to equity prices. Thats our best guess. I think when they get higher if they get to 3 1 2 to 4, 4 1 2 and they start to provide some competition for equities then i think you see . Damage but i just think at this part of the cycle this is still all about economic momentum, a synchronized global economy, great corporate profits, all the other things that are going on, and i do think thats going to eventually trump this volatility trade. Jim, whats interesting, to stick onto that point, i made a chart this morning im going to bring it up you know what it looks like in your head. From june of 2012 to december 2013 the yield on the tenyear doubled. It went from 1 1 2 to 3. The dow rose 25 in that same period why is now and this rate hike different, or maybe its not, than what we had three to four years ago . Is it because of real yields and the sudden inflationary overhang i think, you know, until about a year, year and a half ago the economy was characterized by growing around 2 , and it had a lot of excess slack unemployment that all growth did was soak up unemployment resources it didnt do anything to aggravate labor or capital cost whatsoever that has really changed in a couple ways. One is we now have found out were growing more like 3 than 2 and we found out that the world is growing in a synchronized fashion with us and were doing all this while weve returned to full employment, close to 4 . So now growth has negative consequence that it didnt used to have for the financial markets. It is pushing labor and capital cost higher. Both yields are moving up and Wage Inflation thats going to so jim, i hear you, buddy, but heres what im hearing. Heres what weve got to tell the american people, i guess, which is that stocks are going down because the economys too good yes i think thats very true i wrote a piece recently, brian, that said when it gets good on main street it often gets tougher sledding on wall the early part, early six years of this recovery it was just a wall street recovery and main street didnt participate. And now that main streets doing well its a struggle more so for wall street. I think this is about a valuation readjustment you can sell at 23 times trailing earnings and have a 2. 4 treasury if youre growing at 2 without creating any cost push pressures but if you are going to push those, i think youve got to lower valuations and weve got to find a lower valuation level for stocks and bonds to sustain this bull. I see ha. I see a valuation readjustment here but mike, i wonder if you think or either of you think that what were seeing in the economy is anything approaching an overheating economy. 3 doesnt feel like overheated to me, and even though the wage price pressure was certainly seen in that most recent jobs report, thats one print lets see what happens here. And i dont know that underlying inflation is all that high so are we seeing jim points to the consequences of a good economy pulling the market down. Is the economy overheating i certainly dont think so. You know, were just starting to see wage growth in the bottom 70 of the employment slices were really not seeing i dont think sort of an overheating at all. It wasnt more than six months ago we were talking about deflation, particularly around the globe. And jim may not say that either, by the way i may have been putting words in his mouth. Go ahead yeah. I mean, look, i think the concern here is valuation. Weve had again, last year we didnt have, if i recall, a 3 correction in the stock market not one. We had record low volatility and record highs in the market thats not going to continue we all know its not and again, i dont think anything fundamentally has changed. At the margin, sure. But this story has been with us. Increasing employment, higher Interest Rates, the fed tightening, the Balance Sheet shrinking. This is not new. That was almost last summer that was getting a lot of attention i think whats happened here is we had a Little Corner of the market that created some volatility and some downward pressure when you have high valuations like we do today i think youre going to get an outsized reaction, which is what i think were seeing gentlemen, thanks very much we appreciate it jim, mike, thank you on deck, twitter posting its first ever profit. The stock soaring. But not everybody is a believer. Well tell you why plus, we are continuing to watch these markets right now. The Dow Jones Industrial average is down 601 points boeing weighing heavily on the index. Onere is a lot more to do another crazy market day for your money were back right after this. Ronoh really .

Thats about a 150point turnaround in just the past few minutes for the dow. But the dow still now down about 515 points that is a better than 2 slide twitter shares rallying today after the Company Reports its first ever, first ever net profit the stock higher, up more than 60 in the past year whod have thunk maybe Julia Boorstin did julia joins us now with more julia. Reporter well, tyler, twitter says changes to the timeline, more long content and longer tweets are paying off the Company Announce a surprise return to rev growth, growing revenue of 2 while earnings of 19 Cents Per Share beat projections by five cents. Number of users fell flat. But twitter did show its fifth consecutive quarter of doubledigit daily active user growth were proud of the progress we made in 2017 and were confident in our path ahead. Weve got a significant opportunity ahead of us to put twitter in as many peoples hands as possible and maybe the service more relevant to more people every single day. Dorsey also said theyre working to eliminate fake accounts and to help people identify credible tweets and content. Guys, back over to you julia, thank you. Why dont we dig a little deeper into twitters Earnings Results with Scott Kessler of cfr oochlt he has a sell rating are you going to change your rating even higher based on these results or are you saying maybe this is a lot of Short Covering and were still not a longterm believer so i think, brian, the latter comments you made match with how were thinking about twitter at this point there has been a lot of Short Covering the fundamentals have improved but candidly, the stock has appreciated notably. We still think its overvalued but we do acknowledge some progress that the companys made over the last couple of quarters and what would be the bigger point of progress twitter has made i think julia referenced it its the fact that they grew revenue in q4. She didnt reference the fact that they actually wrote down a business called tell part that generated no revenue in the quarter, and if you kind of x that out they actually generated 8 revenue growth. So that was actually notably better than expectations the question is with monthly active users stagnant how sustainable is a higher level of growth for the company were skeptical about that going out a couple of quarters is it true u. S. Users, daily active users actually declined and almost all the growth was in japan . So i dont know about japan specifically but the growth definitely was from international and not in the u. S. Its kind of interesting because we saw something similar in facebook where we saw q3 to q4 monthly active users i think actually decline there as well people are referencing the notion of seasonality negatively impacting some of the u. S. Numbers. But i think thats largely a product of it being a largely mature market for some of these companies. Scott, weve got to leave it here its obviously a big market day here we do appreciate your views. Scott kessler, thank you all right.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defending her daylong speech on wednesday. The longest continuous speech in house history. She announced her opposition to a budget plan and tried to force Republican Leaders to promise a vote on dreamers legislation the response we had was so tremendous, and people will be calling in i can imagine. Flooded with it all. And what it accomplished was to say we have our beliefs and were willing to fight for them. 45 russian athletes are still waiting to hear if they will be allowed to compete in the Winter Olympics. Their appeal hearing ended today without a decision the russians are seeking to overturn the iocs decision not to invite them to the games because of doping charges. A new survey from Suntrust Bank shows 40 of American Families are paying more than 1,000 each year on their kids after school activities. At least 20 spend more than 2,500 the majority of parents polled say that they saved money by sacrificing on indulgences like eating out youre up to date. Thats the news update this hour ill send it back to you, michelle all right thank you very much, sue lets take a closer look at whats going on with the selloff at this hour. The dow dropping almost 700 points at its session lows now off, when you add it all up, 2,000 points from its january 26th record high the s p breaking below its 100day moving average right now the dow is off 563 points, the s p lower by 53 points, a decline of 2 and the nasdaq also a decline of 2 . 153 points take a look at treasuries. On the back of that weak 30year bond auction remember, a bond auction is when the u. S. Government borrows money from investors and theres concerns that with the fed not buying as much anymore the big spending deal that we think were going to get out of congress and a hot economy theres going to be a lot more supply of bonds and so theres concern that yields will go up because there wont be enough buyers. The 2year yield at 2. 13 the 5year yield 2. 5 the 10year, 2. 84 00 its come down today due to safety buying, people had gotten nervous about whats happening in the stock market it had started to creep up above 2. 8 the 30year at 3. 13. Outside of big market moves there are a bunch of Companies Reporting their earnings as well here are some of the big names out there. Cvs beating estimates for earnings and revenue however, samestore sales a bit lower than last year the company also announcing pay raises and crediting tax reform for that allstate also beating expectations on profits and sales. It credits better margins in the home and Auto Insurance businesses but look at irobot whos that theyre the maker of those robotic roomba vacuum cleaners that stock getting whacked, down 30 . Earnings for the most recent quarter and guidance for the future very, very disappointing. One stock if the green on this down day, though, is Group One Automotive its earnings 21 cents a share. Better than the consensus estimate sales also topping well, stocks extending yesterdays losses as we have just noted the dow down more than 500 points right now. But exactly why are we seeing this sharp drop . Joining us in the New York Stock Exchange are peter costa president of empire executions and gordon charlos angeles, managing directors at rosenblatt securities peter, we know its we think its primarily about rates sparking a weird panic on wall street forced selling liquidating to pay for positions. At least thats what im telling my kids. What are you saying . Well, theres a couple of things i dont know how much its been mentioned today, but in the middle of earnings season a lot of things that happen, one of them is the fact that a lot of the corporate repurchases are canceled as earnings are coming out. So sometimes that leaves that deficit of that buy side that could support a stock during a move like this not saying thats all of it, but i think thats one thing you should keep an eye on. You know, we were expecting this we werent expecting to see this kind of selloff over the last four or five days, the kind of speed at which it happened was a little bit unnerving but you know, the long run, the economys still doing well and im going to still go with that one forever. Gordon, what do investors need to see to staunch this bleeding what number . What kind of statement and from whom would they respond positively to . Thats exactly what were looking for. When we were going up as quickly as we were, good news was good news, bad news was good news, and stocks just kept going up. Now were seeing some good earnings but its not carrying through. It seems like good news is good news and bad news is bad news. First off you have to look at the fed chair, who now is thrown into this situation where hes essentially coming in to replace someone who had a magnificent career thats a daunting place to start. Then you have to wonder if potentially theres something on does the fed chair need to do an interview with somebody were here ill contact them for you but listen, youve got to be careful because we heard some pretty encouraging words about this is small potatoes in terms of what were seeing in terms of the selloff here. So you know, i dont know if thats necessarily reassuring. People are going to have to come to terms with what does this new fed chairman do, how does he present, what is his message, and i think thats a very important catalyst here. Yeah, theres a big regime change going on. Thats for sure. Peter, i was intrigued about wau said about the lack of corporate buybacks that happened during earnings season. Bob pisani has highlighted for us over and over again just how strong corporate buybacks have been over the last several years. Are you suggesting that once earnings season is over maybe those big buyers step back in and then help stabilize this market well, i do think that youll start seeing it in certain stocks because they have to step out of the market for a certain period of time once they get back this theyre behind the 8 ball because theyve announced theyre going to be buying back lets say any corporations buying back 3 billion worth of shares. The week that theyre out, they have to catch up on that so i do think that will be some support. Not saying its going to stop this overall selling because if the market wants to go lower its going to go lower corporate repurchases. They may take advantage of these prices but you know, by and large sending big buyers, big institutional buyers and a corporate repurchase program is a large institutional buyer, sending them back into the market will help it somewhat you know, its very possible i still think the markets are going to go where its going to go and we dont find its bottom and well all be scratching our heads in six months and saying we didnt we buy more there . Any particular names you were thinking of when you talked about some of the companies out there that are participating you could look at american express. Any of the ibm well, ge, thats a different case altogether but you look at the bigger names that have corporate repurchases out there, they all have to step out. Some of them, Procter Gambles repurchase program is huge i mean, they step out of the market, thats the buyer of last resort and then what happens then so i do think that is something we definitely need to keep an eye on look at the bigger ones. The big cap names are the ones that really are suffering during the selloff so you know, i would think thats the ones you want to play going into the end of the earnings season. Gentlemen, thank you. Peter and gordon there was a group called peter and dworgordon, wasnt there peter paul and mary wasnt it peter paul and mary peter and gordon. Yeah all right. Kate warren, Principal Investment strategist at edward jones. Kate, welcome. Always good to see you thank you nice to see you. What do you make of this . Is it as simple or complex as some volatility trades gone wrong, or is it more macro and fundamental having to do with how the bond market is looking at the levels of debt the u. S. Government is picking up just at the time that some of the buyers of last resort are stepping away i think it is somewhat fundamental but i think the fundamentals actually remain very positive with Stronger Economic growth and higher earnings and better earnings partly due to the tax cut in 2018, and those will support higher stock prices going forward. But i think certainly over the last week investors have been very focused on Rising Interest Rates and Interest Rates are rising partly due to fears of higher inflation thats led to basically concerns that the Federal Reserve is going to have to hike rates more frequently, and thats led investors to be a little more nervous. In addition, of course, over the last few days as congress has struggled with how do we get a budget together and not shut down the government tonight, theyve proposed an additional amount of spending of 300 billion, and as you mentioned earlier, with the treasury auction today not going quite as well, i think thats led to a greater focus on are we going to see higher Interest Rates. Its all about Interest Rates right now. But i think thats something where were seeing the volatility, its not something thaun does the trend in stock prices going higher. Are you convinced there are going to be higher sustained levels of Interest Rates and if you are, what does that mean to what youre willing to pay for when it comes to earnings yeah, the earnings get bigger. Thats good. But how much are you willing to pay for them it gets smaller as Interest Rates rise i think Interest Rates will rise slowly over time, but im not convinced that were beginning to see a move higher in Interest Rates shortterm thats more than what weve already seen and the reason is that if you think about the catalyst for what appears to be this period of volatility and perhaps even a correction, it was higher wage growth that we saw in the employment report on friday. Well, certainly were all expecting inflation to pick up but i think nm cases investors are worried that not only will inflation going back to 2 but it will go even higher than that right now i think were seeing a reflection of something in the 2 range but if inflation continues to stay quite contained and low, then i think many of these fears go away and we see Interest Rates stay at about the current levels and this is certainly a level that i think we can continue to see earnings rise even with this somewhat higher to back it up a little bit, theres only three possible explanations for a 9 drop in a week and a half to two weeks number one, theres a bunch of traders on wall street messing around with dangerous products thats costing everybody money number two, the earnings outlook for Corporate America is 9 less than it was two weeks ago. Or number three, the market was way too hot and should have never been that high in the first place. Which one is it . I dont think its actually any of those although id put a little bit on the first one because weve certainly seen some of the products lead to some of this higher volatility. But youre correct when you see a selloff, what changed . I think its really emotions that changed, not the fundamentals yes, Interest Rates are somewhat higher but thats not enough to give you a 9 selloff. And thats part of why i think this is an opportunity and its nothing thats really changed the fundamentally positive outlook for stocks going forward. Still, if you think there are going to be higher Interest Rates, do you pick and choose . I mean, do you do the obvious things that a lot of people are recommending like stay away from the bond proxies and go toward cyclicals or can you still buy the market i think you can still buy the market id certainly be looking at companies that have the ability to grow their earnings regardless but i think you still want to buy companies that are tied to better Economic Growth because thats the outlook and i dont think thats entirely reflected in stock prices yet but when you look at todays market, and actually over the last few days, what you also see is the stocks that are bond proxies, in other words, the sectors like utilities, doing better than the riskier sectors. I think this is just a situation where for the past few years investors have said ive got to take more risk in order to get the returns i need to meet my longterm financial goals. Now im a little more concerned about that im concerned in an environment of rising rates. So what i want is to take a little less risk in my equity portfolio. Thats why id stay broadly diversified across the sectors and not be trying to guess which ones are going to do the best longer term. Youll have to explain another time why utilities which are usually thought of as an Interest Rate sensitive sector, are goingup here but my basic question is you talked about a change of sentiment and an Awareness Among investors that Interest Rates are going to be higher but kate, didnt we know that months ago hasnt the fed been saying that . Hasnt basically everybody built into their thought process the idea that rates were going to go higher and now here they are and theres the big freakout im not understanding why this comes as such a shock. I think its two things the first is yes, the Federal Reserve has been saying were going to raise Interest Rates quarterly, modestly, trying hard to prepare investors for this. But if you looked at the kp expectations for rate increase the fed was pencilling in three rate hikes and the market was penciling in one, maybe two. So there was a disconnect there where yes, all of us talked about it but somehow we didnt actually see it reflected in what people were expecting if you looked at the futures in terms of the rate hikes. And now were seeing that closer to the 3 so i think that gap has closed and thats actually a reason that weve seen stocks react another thing, though, is i do think that theres this worry about higher inflation leading to an up side even in the 3 that the fed has pencilled in kate, thank you very much for your explanations. We appreciate them thank you kate warne is with edward jones. Shares of grub hub soaring about 30 right now. Sought rest of the Market Selling off but this is an outlier.

Stepbystep options trading support from Td Ameritrade we are off our lows. I mean, what a crazy market this has been i mean, the dow is down, and i say this loosely, only 390 points i say only because less than an hour ago when we were on the air on this fine program the dow was down 601 point so we started barely down, lost 600. Now weve regained 200someodd points in a matter of 30 minutes. The s p is down but, again, way less than it was the nasdaq i believe slightly positive on the year, guys, i know its the v word, volatility, but these are markets which are struggling, struggling to find bid that they like yeah, for sure. One stock that is not struggling to find a bid, grubhub shares. Take a look. Investors getting their fill today. Stock is up 27 . Hitting an alltime high thats after the Company Announced an earnings beat and also a new partnership with yum brands the deal makes grub hub the exclusive online pickup and delivery partner of kfc and taco bell yum brands has also taken a 3 stake in the company, buying 200 million in grubhub stock as part of the agreement. And yum brands is also getting a seat on grubhubs board. What does all this mean for the future of the company . Joining us in a power lunch exclusive is the ceo of grubhub, matt maloney hi, matt hey tell us how this deal came about. You know, what yums been looking for a partner to help them deliver their food for a long time, frankly theyve been dabbling with different platforms. Theyve recognized the amount of growth thats available in online delivery. And so we started working with them, they saw clearly the advantages we brought in terms of our scale, expertise in technology, and the geographic areas we cover we made a lot of commitments to them in terms of growing our delivery capabilities. They saw us as the leader. They put their chips behind us not only do we have now a deep partnership. But as you noted, a significant investment and board integration. This is a really big deal not only for us and yum but also for the entire market. Does this deal preclude you from doing other major franchises and brands out there . You could almost be seen earlier as agnostic and now youre in with this big publicly traded partnership. So does that mean youre never going to do a deal with mcdonalds youll never be able to do a deal with burger king . Absolutely not. In fact, were talking to many players. We recently announced a partnership with white castle, with jack in the box we continue the whole restaurant segment is looking towards online delivery as Significant Growth opportunity in fact, yum wants us to continue to grow thats part of the reason why they put such a significant investment behind our company. So tell me because i dont know and i apologize for not knowing this, how many employees do you have today . Are they staff employees or private contractors . And how many more employees do you think you will need to bring on to handle what clearly is going to be greater business well, we have thousands of employees. But in terms of delivery drivers how many thousands . Those are hang on. The delivery drivers are independent contractors. And we have over 20,000 monthly active delivery drivers. Okay. Now, were delivering in 80 markets right now, which is about 900 cities across the u. S. Weve committed as part of this deal to deliver in 100 more markets. So were more than doubling our geographic coverage for delivery in order to help support yum brands, and that still will only cover about 2 3 to 3 4 of the kfc and taco bell locations. So thats interesting you have 20,000 contract deliverers right now youre going to double your coverage you can do the math and you can say maybe its not going to exactly double those 20,000. But this is a job creation story too, isnt it, matt . Absolutely. And not only are we increasing our markets by more than double, we are going deeper and adding more drivers in all the 80 markets were serving currently because of course theres taco bells and kfcs in San Francisco and los angeles and boston and d. C. And manhattan and chicago and everywhere in between. Matt, youve got an incredible multiple. 132 on trailing earnings and numbers like youre putting up today in your earnings reports not surprising that the markets going to give you a big fat multiple because you are growing so fast. However, Interest Rates are rising and im looking at you and im guessing youve never lived through a rising Interest Rate environment. And are you ready for what happens when the market starts to demand more your growth is going to have to stay strong in order to maintain the share price that youve got going. Absolutely. You look at our performance last year, 50 revenue growth, 100 profitability growth, and then you look forward. We processed n restaurant food sales in 2017, and its over 200 billion marketplace domestically sew were bearically scratching the surface. When you look at partnerships such as the yelp partnership we announced last earns which will introduce us to hundreds of thousands of diners and the yum partnership, which brings thousands of supply side restaurants all across the country in markets where we have very low awareness, and it mixes together, what i think creates an incredible growth story all right right now, the stocks acting for sure like it agrees with you. Thanks, matt matt meloni, the ceo of grubhub. A tale of two stocks. Woodward flying high tesla hitting the brakes well drill down on both of these names as we watch the market all over the place.

Welcome to the party. Weve got a news alert in the sports world the San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a fiveyear deal with jimmy garoppolo, worth, are you sitting down, 137. 5 million deal it would be the biggest deal in the history of the nfl on an average per year basis tyler, i had fun with numbers. He has thrown 12 touchdowns, which means it is 11. 4 million per touchdown thrown or 1. 9 million per point scored can we go to the breaking news desk dominic chu is a lifelong 49ers fan. He loves numbers hes sitting over there, lights are on we should bring him up this is on a trailing basis. Youre hoping for a lot more valuation down the road. Have to move on. The forward valuation is something im looking forward to im excited, very pumped as a lifetime 49ers fan, as a Northern California bay area native, good to see that the future of the 49ers is going to be with jimmy garoppolo. That is, of course, my opinion whether or not hes worth it is going to be a question for posterity and history. But im happy. It means that the performance he put in was pretty good the second happiest guy in america right now is kirk cousins because hes waiting to see what he gets shares of woodward soaring on reports that boeing is eyeing the Aerospace Parts maker. Phil lebeau is covering it for us in chicago. Phil nice little pop to an alltime high earlier today for woodward easy to see why because an acquisition from boeing would be substantial. We reached out to folks at boeing and basically they said were not going to comment on market rumors. This would make sense. Boeing has been expanding its portfol portfolio, if you will, in terms of acquisition they struck a deal to bring in aircraft seats inhouse also looking at buying embry air. If they could put this deal together, this would make sense. Thats one reason you see shares of boeing under pressure people are saying, how much are you spending on this acquisition and other acquisitions and were near a record high, or some believe a market high for boeing thats why the stocks under pressure elon musk may have a bigger rocket than rocket man, but tesla shares are dropping 5 worst ever quarterly loss, but sticking with its model3 production tarkts. We keep hearing about these things when are they going to make them well, they say theyre going to make them, but theyre not giving us concrete details in terms of how many theyre making one. Theyre sticking with their targets for the end of q1, q2, and overall sales this year, we dont know what they are lets see what they actually end up doing this year because we still dont have official guidance from that thanks so much. Key number were waiting for thank you. Another key number, the dow is off by more than 400 points were all over the major market selloff.

Well listen. Well talk. Well plan. Baird. Welcome back to the second hour of power lunch. We begin with breaking news. Another wild day for the markets. The dow falling nearly 700 points after opening in the green. Its now up more than 2,200 points since its most recent record high. Right now, the industrial is lower by more than 400 points, a decline of 1. 6 . The s p is lower by 36 points. The nasdaq is off 1. 5 , and the russell lower with a decline of 17 points. Financials, consumer discretionary, industrials are all lagging. Utilities are leading. This is very interesting because if youre concerned about Rising Interest Rates, people say sell the utilities. Theyre higher right now could be because we have seen a rebond in bonds. Take a look at treasuries, speaking of bonds. The tenyear pulling back a bit. We had traded as high as 2. 88. Now its basically at 2. 85 on the tenyear right now, 28 of the 30 dow c components in the red led by intel and boeing, all off by more than 2 home depot off nearly 3 your s p losers are hanes brand, michael kors, and mattel even bigger declines, hanes down 8. 5 goodyear down more than 6 , and mattel down 5 there are some winners cody, viacom, cardinal health, and fipp philip morris. Viacom higher by 9 , cody higher by 19 , and philip morris, more than 2 . Over to you. Thank you investors overall still trying to make sense of what is moving these volatile markets. It seems like everybody has an answer, ight is it the sudden move in Interest Rates is it traders playing with dangerously leveraged products forcing selling. Is it that stocks are a bubble and should never have been this high in the first place. Lots of questions. Lets see what pisani and santoli has to say about it. Bob, you know what i mean. Everyone has an answer yeah. So lets go back to when did this start this started on friday, remember, the jobs report. All of a sudden, wage growth, 2. 9 , best since 2009, and we got yields move higher, and the market gap down. We were down almost 50 points that day ill go back to the fundamentals that was the fundmeamental trigger. After that, a stew of various programs that started moving around in the market the big was the unwinding of the short volatility, long stock trade we talked about all year you throw in some issues around Volatility Exchange traded programs, Exchange Traded notes and you get a stew of issues going on i think thats whats happening today, the volatility is still being mixed around with that short volatility long stock unwind brian, i joked earlier this week that its like murder on the Orient Express you have a victim, and everybody is a plausible perpetrator not everybody, but a lot of them i think you have the precipitating conditions, thats one thing. Then a catalyst or rigor, then you have the aggravating effects afterwards the precipitating factor was it got to an overstretched heat, and then maybe were going to overheat the economy, and we have been feasting on loose financial conditions thats a slightly less loose condition, and then the factors which is the unwind of some of these trades which might have builtin assumptions about low volatility by the way, even though there is no script, there are patterns. People will say is that a good retest of the low . The stocks are up about 1. 5 in an hour. Did we get oversold enough thas the kind of exercise you go through now in terms of the technical. The opinions about the fundamentals dont change that much in an hour. Add that to the list of things we try to blame, the big spending bill out of congress, and i would add another one. Peter costa was on, standing where you are right now, last hour, and he said another exacerbating factor is during earnings season, companies dont do buybacks. They have been you pointed out a big, big buyer over the last couple years, and he thought that once earnings season was over, you might see more natural buyers come back in and help support the market. This happens every earnings season in general, there is a blackout period, and it depends upon the company, but most companies will observe blackout periods at least two or three weeks before the earnings come out, and typically, about 48 to 72 hours after it now, it varies from company to company. No specific rule but im not sure thats a major factor right now this kind of volatility in the middle of the day, all of a sudden stocks move down rather rapidly, this smells to me like some people are deleveraging, not that companies are stepping in and buying back stock you think the same, mike . Yeah, i do. I also think that sometimes its the psychological factor that you can point to and say, well, these companies cant be in there playing the hero that can just contribute to the general idea of why do i want to buy right now. Honestly, i think the fact we went so long with such tiny market moves and in a short period of time, widened out what the market is doing on an hourly and daily basis, it basically spooks a lot of other wouldbe buyers and you have to see where the prices settle out and see if the fundamental investors get in there. Philly guy bob pisani missing the eagles parade. Mike santoli mentioned murder on the Orient Express. Lets bring in Steve Liesman to dig deeper on this one i want to give everybody a warning that Brian Sullivan completely disagreed with the point of this next presentation. Hell have his opportunity afterwards a very fickle relationship in this turmoil between bonds and stocks the rising yields, as you heard from mike and bob, is seen as a top reason for the selloff, but not today. Today, theyre running in lock step heres the decline in yields and the decline in stocks. Yields have fallen off along with stocks. Then something of a bounceback, both together. Now look at this chart this is why bonds are being blamed for several months, yields crept higher and stocks said i dont care they surged along with them. But at the end of january of january, use your phrase, the marriage was off, they had a split. Whatever you want to call it yields shot up, stocks shot down this could be random or could be that the market got spooked by treasury supply from adding spending, higher deficit from there tax cut, and the fed reducing its Balance Sheet not just reducing its balanc sheelt, its not buying fresh stuff. How much is the fed not going to buy, and as you were mentioning to me off camera, the fed is a nonprice sensitive buyer the kind of buyer you want when youre selling your home or something. Especially if you have a leak in the roof i did a calculation this morning. Its been going along very, very quietly, a little here and there. Now look whats going to happen this year. From 4. 4 trillion, the fed is going to let it go down from 400 billion to 4 trillion, then another 600 billion next year, and then the year after that will be another 600 billion until it gets to some undefined place. Thats about who is going to buy these bonds . Somebody will step up if i say tyler brian brian no, no. If i say, will you guys watch my dog for a week, you say sure. But whats the price, right . Whos going to hold on to this at what price will you buy those bonds. Thats what we dont know. Its a fleabitten mongrel, also what type of dog it is. Also a lot of supply coming on from the u. S. Government. This spending bill was bigger than expected. And it looks it doesnt matter what party youre in, god, these guys love to spend money, and women and you also have a trillion and a half divided by ten for this year and next year. Coming from the tax cuts and then the spending bill on top of it. And unfunded liabilities that the government is going to be on the hook for down the road and michelle, you are obviously very young but you thank you, darling. You had me at hello. You do remember the bond vigilantes i do. Its not clear theyre out yet as a force or a posse, but its out there as an idea, right . That somehow these guys will enforce that discipline. Like they did on president clinton. Do you know who is credited with inventing the term i dont know. Ed. Hes on power lunch. I thought it was the bald political activist James Carville said he would like to be reinvented as a bond market you dont think this is a bond story at all . I do, but and folks, if you havent read murder on the Orient Express or seen the movie a that came out recently, im going to spoil it for you, everybody was guilty everybody was guilty they were all in on it i think we in the media love to have a we need i wrote this a couple weeks ago, we need an antagonist, a villain, a darth vader, one clear enemy, and i think its a lot of things happening at the same time i think its a rorschach test for whatyou thought was wrong ahead of time. If you thought it was algorithms that were the problem with the market, you think it now if you think it was deficits, its the deficits now. I think your solution, i tell you whats weird about this. A story line about why the market has declined does not appear to be holding up for 60 minutes. You cannot figure out what you think is going on and then it seems to change within the hour. Because of what happened with bonds today. Look at what happened at 2 30 the other day when the market surges 500 points or yesterday when the market sold up in 20 minutes. I love James Carvilles analysis, the bald guy ill soon be the bald tv anchor. Its fine. No comments about your hair what hair mike collins perfect guest for today. Mike collins is morning stars fixed income manager of 2017 he runs the fivestar prudential total bond fund, which has outperformed its peer group for 15 years running welcome to power lunch. Thank you very much you heard this conversation we were so excited to have on the fixed income manager of the year knauz i have to think you spend 24 hours a day thinking about where Interest Rates are going. What do you think about the ten year and where its headed it doesnt feel good now, but i think the perpetrators are many right . A year ago, it was all about growth the trump bump then people worried about the fed, and more recently, inflation. I actually think the yield curve today is fully pricing in all of those risks right now. But its the fourth one that people are looking at now, which is the fiscal profligacy, the supply, the markets trying to find a clearing level for all this incremental supply. Its the onetwo punch the fed relinquishing the assets on the Balance Sheet at the same time the treasury is issuing a ton of debt. Whats your prediction . What is the correct level for the tenyear yield based on all of the things you just talked about that we talked about in our discussion just watching the market action, its becoming increasingly clear, i think, that were getting to the Tipping Point here in treasury yields that theyre actually starting to have an impact on certainly asset prices like stocks, but also potentially on the real economy. You look at home builder stocks. Theyre really tajing here as we have seen Mortgage Rates jump precipitously. I think were getting really close. Were stepping back right now, kind of waiting for the dust to settle, but i think were getting very close to a buying opportunity. We may be the ones who step in and buy bonds at this levels where is the fed right now . Have they really stopped buying or are they still buying a little they are buying some of the principles that are maturing, reinvesting some of it but less and less that number is going to get less and less every quarter for the rest of this year, then theyre eventually going to get to a steady state in two and a half, three years, theyre going to let mortgages roll off and buy more treasuries again to replace the mortgages i think thats lost on a lot of folks. What do i do if i own bond funds . I think bond funds are okay the nice thing is you have already taken the hit. Bond funds are down. I dont know, a percent, 2 , already year to date after having a pretty good result last year but now, going forward, theres all that matters and the yields today are the highest they have been in a long time. The Bloomberg Barclays ag, which is a benchmark a lot of people use, and our total strategy looks at that, is yielding over 3 thats the highest in a long time if an active manager can beat that a little bit, now youre talking about midsingle digit returns on fixed income funds. I think thats pretty competitive with equities for the next five or ten years has anything sold off enough already that youre stepping in . Is there anything in high yield, anything along the corporate structure. What are you looking at right now that you would be willing to buy . The credit markets have been well contained they have barely budged. Theyre moving off in lock step with treasuries. Highyield spreads are a little wider, but it certainly hasnt been a big selling frenzy in the high yield market. Its not clear that there are any big buying opportunities at this point were really looking at the rate structure and the big backup in the curve and the steepening of the curve as potentially an opportunity to add duration to portfolios all right, mike mike collins, thank you so much for joining Us Fixed Income manager of the year good to have you on. They liked you a lot liked what you said theyre applauding you have to love that. Thanks very much to you as well. For more on whats driving this selloff, lets bring in scott wren, senior Global Equity strategist with wells fargo. Good to see you. Hey, taylor a lot of people think we did touch at 10 down a point briefly earlier in the week, and that were on our way to a 10 or 15 correction, but that doesnt necessarily have to happen period, number one, and it doesnt have to happen soon. What do you think, where are we in whatever it is were in well, i think traders are in control here, tyler. And you know, as you well know, throughout a cycle, youre going to have times where the fundamentals detach themselves from the price so i think were seeing a little bit of that right now. I think the trigger, you know, bob pisani brought up the unemployment report. I think the straw that broke the camels back was that 2. 9 year over year wage increase, because lets face it, the highest expense these companies have are wages. Margins are very high. And thats a negative for margins. I think theres concern that we have seen a little better Economic Growth. Of course, you have to do a lot of guesswork with this tax code, and people are worried that the fed is going to hike rates more than three times to me, those are the two simple reasons. Negative implications of wages on margins, and uncertainty as the fed going to hike rates more than three times, which i think is a head wind what we want our clients doing, and today, these last few hours, you know, has been i wouldnt call it an epic battle, but its absolutely a battle between traders trying to push this thing down to that 2600 to 2630, thats the 100day, 125day moving average i mean, we have been battling that for the lax three hours today. We have done it before once. The 200day moving average comes in at 25, lets say 35, 40 im in a fundamental shop, but when the market is trading like this and you think its positive, you have to look for spots to buy Retail Investors are underinvested. We want them stepping in here. Were trying to pick some spots for them, and we have been trading around 1 today, it wouldnt surprise me if we see it hit the 200day on the s p. You need to step in here if your outlook is positive. Scott, listen, not to belabor the point, but two days ago barclays said they thought another 225 billion in stocks would have to be sold in the next couple days to meet the obligations from the unwinding of these short volatility products i know its a wonky story. I know its a complex story, a small, dark corner of the wall street, but yet these volatility products are still very active again today. Have you guys done any work to suggest that this may truly be one of these weird moments where just a handful of traders is screwing with the whole system yeah, you know, brian, im telling you, the products, these volatility products, theres no doubt thats pressuring the market here. But theres somebody in here buying these stocks. Just watch the way the markets trading the last three hours something is holding it in here at this 2600 to 2630 level you know, those kind of products, and it is a little wonky to think about that. You keep that in the back of your head, but for me, you know, you need to look ahead to these fundamentals, which are going to be good, not great does that tell me i want to buy stocks i think it does. Valuations have come off 17, low 17s for pes. We think it will be higher by the end of the year. Given that even with the unwinding of some of these products, i think you have to look at these levels were going to run a few stops if we trade below 2600 certainly, well run a few stops if we trade below the 200day moving average, but i think the market is going to hold in here and well look at this six months down the road and say, that was a pretty decent buying opportunity. On that note, we will leave it scott wren, wells fargo. Appreciate it. Take care, guys brian all right, ahead, much more on the stock, including one Portfolio Manager who says we havent seen the end of the pain yet. Thats right, somebody whos actually negative. Bucking the downturn, though, twitter. Cardinal health, cody, viacom, philip morris, and kellogg were , oking, were eating cereal and putting on perfume all at the same time.

Were off Something Else, session lows we were down 600 points when this spectacular Program Began now, in all, were down more than 2200 points since the most recent record high on january 26th art hogan is the chief Market Strategist with b riley fbr, and barry james is Portfolio Manager with James Investment Research barry, youre an odd guy i mean that in a good way because youre a fund manager. Most Fund Managers say things are cheaper. We should buy. You dont think the pain is over yet. How come well, we have been saying this not just today. We have been saying this for a few months the market was in a topping phase. You had price earnings ratios are pretty high, back to where they were when i remember in 1987 you had the fed moving against the market in terms of raising rates and quantitative tightening, both of those, and then sentiment, which is probably the most important thing in the short run the number of bulls to bears was at a record level, even before where it was in 1987 in 87, we saw about a 40 correction in 40 days. Not saying that it will match this time. So we dont have that change and im hearing the vast majority of the people im talking to are saying im going to borrow money. Can you invest it for me rather than saying get out of stocks so as we heard from the previous guests, theyre saying this is the time to buy. I would say take caution remember, your first sale in a bear market is your best sale. I would say lower your equity levels put some money into cash, floating rates, maybe even have some gold. Those types of things. And look for bargains. Bargain type stocks. Listen, i love to hear it because we dont necessarily hear that from your industry, barry, but art, lets talk about gold for a second. I know youre not a gold guy, but heres whats interesting. Gold, yeah, its up a tiny bit, but gold hasnt rallied into this slide does that tell you, i height to use a term, controlled panic, but this is not an allout fear trade, because gold should be spiking. Absolutely. Art, but barry, you can respond. Go ahead, art. As we look at gold go ahead, art you know what thats a great question. We actually havent seen much disruption in anything but the equity market. We have seen a tiny move in commodities in general the currency is probably the only complex thats doo much away from the equity complex this is contained, not contag n contagion. Whats going on right now is a stock market phenomenon, until its not whats happening and whats going to benefit or what were going to learn from this, it doesnt matter who did it on the Orient Express well talk about this for a while, and it doesnt matter what the causes are. The end result is going to show that correlations that are so tight on the way down are going to point to active management and stock picking on the way back up. What do i mean if were afraid of Rising Interest Rates, why would you be selling financials theyre one of the worst performing groups. Were selling everything because were so concentrated in our stock and etfs that were creating dislocations that are going to be a massive opportunity for active managers and stock pickers. So where are those massive opportunities . If i had two smart moves to make here this week, in the context of whats going on, what would it be . Financials, for sure. So think about in the last reports by the big banks, just think about goldman sachs, jpmorgan, morgan stanley, for example, the only bad thing is theres no volatility and no activity in the equity trading departments. Thats here now. We have 5x what they saw in the first quarter. On top of that, Rising Interest Rates, and lighter regulatory touch. The banks will be one play the other play is midcycle industrials. Theyre sold like there is no economy or Economic Growth going on so whether its a select energy or a carlisle or any of the midcycle industrials thrown out with the bath water, you have great opportunities. Barry, art brings up an interesting point about the financials Interest Rates going up. The curve is steepening. That should be great for financials thats why people have been telling us to buy them, yet theyre getting hit hard i know you told people to go to some cash at this point, but is that one area of the market you might look at, barry yes we like financials, actually we see a lot of opportunities, not necessarily in the big names, although some of those from the jpmorgans and the like, look fairly attractive to us, but on down the line as well in terms of size in the financial area you know, as obviously when rates go up a bit, they tend to run theirs up faster than the overall market, and they increase their spreads, if you will and the deregulation that were seeing, and of course, the tax cuts are having a positive impact on them as well so we do like the financial area today.

Good to have you with us what did investor pessimism do, and how much out of the norm is it well, we saw pessimism rise back above its historical average the first time in nine weeks. We have actually seen it trend upwards over the last really three weeks, after hitting near the low end of what we normally would consider to be its typical range. So we saw it actually rise its important to realize our survey runs from thursday through wednesday. And we sent out a reminder on monday, so a lot of people got a reminder to take the survey during mondays volatility we have seen pessimism really rise from what was still typical but typically low levels so this survey ran from last thursday through last night. So it got both of the big down days friday and monday. And a couple of the other days as well in there what is the specific question you are asking to get to these measures what do you ask . We ask members over the next six months, i feel the direction of the markets will be up, bullish, flat neutral, or down bearish. And we have asked that same question since 1987. And what has the correlation been between the answers you get and the markets performance what we see is really when optimism, when fuller sentiment reaches a higher level, we tend to see the markets underperform, and if we go back to january and late december, we saw optimism being at an unusually high level for five or six weeks. So when we see that being unusually high, the markets tend to underperform. When we see optimism unusually low, we tend to see the markets do better. A lot of people really focus on optimism, but our survey really suggests look at optimism. When everybody is too greedy and too optimistic, thats usually a sign that maybe the markets are overvalued maybe the market is overdue for a pullback if we can bring back the numbers that charles provided us in the control room, tell me how this number sits in the scheme of things. Bullishness at 37 right now yes, showing a decline and bearishness at 35 when the market is extremely euphoric, what is the bullish number and historically where have you seen it peak, and when the sentiment is extremely bearish, where have you seen it bottom so, for bullish sentiment, when we see it above about 49 , thats when we start saying its too high its extraordinarily high. At the lower end, its really below 27 . So about tenpoint range in each direction. So right now, all our readings are actually right about average. Theyre within their typical reading, so were not seeing anything but good you go back three weeks ago, we saw bullish sentiment at 54 . 54 54 way above the average way above the average on january 3rd, at 59 that was really high that was actually within the top 50 of all our weekly readings. And you point out that when it gets that high, you can then expect that the market might underperform, and that is exactly what has happened. Yeah, absolutely. Its not that sentiment is causal, but its usually a sign theres Something Else going on, maybe valuations are too high, maybe investors are too optimistic overall with their investments, maybe theyre taking on too much risk. Theres not a question theres high sentiment so markets will fall its usually its a symptom of Something Else going on. We could look at how the markets performed last year when we had this big run and valuations pish pushed up. Whats the worst you saw, thinking back, is it 2009, 2000 late 2008 . How far did the number fall . It was right about march 2009 i dont have the number exactly, but somewhere around, i want to say about 18 or 19 it really dropped extremely low. At the high end, during march 2000, we saw it reach about 70 . So we have really seen it make big swings of bullishness. Bullish sentiment. Absolutely, yes, bullish sentiment. What was the bearish sentiment in 2009 . You just subtract from 100, right . It was 70 , because you have neutral sentiment there as well, but about 70 , right about when the bear market hit its bottom when prices fall, do people get more bullish or more bearish, charles you know, it demands. We have several members over the past several months saying im either moving the cash or holding on to more cash because im looking for a market pullback im looking for the opportunity to buy so some people hopefully are using this as a buying opportunity. But Human Emotion still plays a role when you see your portfolio falling in value, its easy to be worried and easy to start feeling like you should be more cautious, even though financial theory says you should do the exact opposite all right, charles. Thank you for that very interesting thank you so much. We appreciate it thank you for having me you bet of course. Lets bring in lance, shall we executive director of global multiassets at usaa Asset Management lance, good to have you with us. Thank you lets talk less about the whys of the market and the whats and more about the what to do nows that you see out there. If this is an opportunity to do something, what would it be . And be as specific as you can. What should i buy or sell . Well, i think the most important part right now is i think this is a great time for investors to review their risk tolerance. We have gone really a couple years with extremely low market volatility, as yourprieveiate guest mentioned. Sentiment became very high i think many investors may have had too much equity within their portfolios, so number one, its important to review that and make sure youre positioned to withstand what we may be seeing in the market. More specifically, where were still seeing opportunities in markets as we have seen over the last six months is overseas. We really Like International developed markets. We like emerging markets we think the recent selloff is providing a nice opportunity to add some of the emerging market positions. Then within our fixed income portfolios, what we want to do is shore up the quality. So we have been avoiding on the margin some of the lower credit quality, some of the high yield bonds and instead increasing the credit quality in things such as government guaranteed mortgages and treasuries are there specific markets globally you would point our viewers today . One of my Favorite Places to invest today is in stocks that are cheap within emerging markets. Really, the whole segment of emerging markets, more so focused on the stocks with low valuations if we look at the u. S. Market, trading at over 30 times trailing show of earnings which, again, is over the 95th percentile if we look at the same metric in emerging markets, its closer to 15 times and in the value, even lower. So we think theres great opportunities for longterm patient investors within the emerging market area historically, emerging markets have sold off when Interest Rates have risen because higher Interest Rates in the United States draws money from overseas, provides competition. They tend to have higher debt levels in emerging markets, and they tend to sell off. Youre not worried about that or not worried about Rising Interest Rates i think that, first of all, the valuations in emerging markets are a lot lower, so you start off with a little bit of a cushion relative to u. S. Markets. I would also point out if we look back to periods coming off 1999, which feels the most similar to me today, emerging markets had a tremendous run following that period which included the period of 2004 to 2007 where the Federal Reserve was raising Interest Rates at almost every meeting up to over 5 i think if we look back to that period, emerging markets can do quite well in a rising Interest Rate environment although that relationship hasnt necessarily been the case in the last few years. Bottom line, we think valuations support that and provide a cushion within that market lance, thank you very much. We appreciate your time. Thanks a lot. All right, so do you need to change your etf strategy as the markets turn around . Well speak with invesco power shares head of etfs about dealing with the volatility. The dow losing steam again we were down 600 when the show began, now were down 550 again. The volatility, the roller coaster ride of this market, tyler. Were back right after this. Most etfs only track a benchmark. Flexshares etfs are built around the Way Investors think. With objectives like building capital for the future, managing Portfolio Risk and liquidity and generating income. Thats real etf innovation. Flexshares. Built by investors, for investors. Before investing consider the Funds Investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Go to flexshares. Com for a prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.

The dow, s p 500, again lower for 2018 although the nasdaq does remain positive year to date. However, heres whats going on right now. Dow industrial lower by 568 points a decline of 2. 2 . S p lower by 51 points, a decline of nearly 2 , and nasdaq lower by 144 points, almost a decline of more than 2 . All s p sectors are in the red financials and discretionaries are the laggards at this point if youre worried about Rising Interest Rates, utilities are doing the best or the least worst that doesnt make a lot of sense, and financials are doing the worst. A little bit of a conundrum that people are so worried about Rising Interest Rates. Certainly good points now lets talk about etfs, something we talked about the last couple days what role are they playing in this market . How can investors better deal with the volatility . Joining us is dan draper, global head of etfs at invescos power shares we did a segment where we highlighted mini etfs and how top heavy some of them were. Right . Just the same five or six stocks controlling the market do you think thats contributing to the market downslide at all no, no. I think if you look, obviously, the qs is a special product on 1, 3, 5year historical track records, the best performing big cap fund out there it had good performance. It is concentrating. Technology, biotech, youre getting those exposures with great companies. The question is, looking at the rest of your portfolio, what else do you own in fixed income, maybe commodities, are you well diversified. If youre hitting on one etfs or one in all of your net worth, the could be risky regardless, but a great fund has been a great performer over a long period of time you should know, thee exposure youre getting predominantly in the product. Do you think that people fully understand the product, that you have a couple hundred stocks some of these etfs and five or six are 30 or 40 of the etf . A lot of education and focus of investors that the traditional long only products i think investors are fairly well educated. More to do working with a financial adviser. Their folkish has to be on the overall portfolio. Were looking at volatility in the markets. If you think back historically, usually volatility or the vix in particular, usually lags rate increase siegales by about two years. You know what. We had our twoyear anniversary of the rate hike cycle back in december this is not something that should be unexpected if youre a longterm investor, youre well diversified, you need to use volatility in your favor to spread out and diversify that risk. I understand if youre buying things youre not aware of, you need good financial advise to be able to understand prospectuses, whats in the index, but taking a holistic portfolio approach, certainly in times now with high v volatili volatility, thats the way you need to think. Should etns, Exchange Traded notes, should they be more reveille regulated because theyre very different than etfs i think theres a good case to be made for that. If you think etns, etfs, theyre both Exchange Traded, but once you stop there, the similarities really start diverging a lot of the more nuanced, sophisticated strategies quite openly just arent allowed from a regulatory perspective in an Exchange Rated fund. The 40act version, why a lot of those strategies move their way into a note structure. Which is very similar to structured products, other dirivative option options that are traded over the counter. As you look there, understanding how these products work, particularly these leveraged etns with daily resetting, very complicated products that small groups of investors, sophisticated traders, hedge funds and others who know those products and use them on a daily basis, but for longterm investors, theres a huge amount of complication, explanation required in those products let me ask you more directly, do you think this xiv, which about eight people had heard of, is doing the damage were seeing do you think theres a lot of leverage tied into this . I saw an estimate, a trillion dollars tied to that whats really interesting is looking at the participants in this product, you know, i think if you look, we had record daily trading volumes in etfs on monday and tuesday okay but within those record trading volumes on monday, for example, we only had about 9 billion of outflows from the funds themselves youre seeing really strong twoway pricing. Theres demand on the buy side but youre avoiding brians question take a stand here. What do you think of this thing . Well, obviously, look, its not something at invesco, we dont often products that are etns or short in leverage. Its not our baileywick, if you will our typical clients dont demand it i think those are very speculative products and i think theres some professional investors who know how to use them, but for the general public, i would steer them more to traditional etfs, certainly thats a good thing because its down 95 in a week. Good thing you dont have them absolutely. Youre welcome great to be with you stocks selling off with the dow dropping more than 500 points retail, including walmart and target, also taking a hit today. Oliver chen is senior retail analyst at cohen, he says now is the time to buy walmart ahead of next weeks earnings good to have you good groan. We do like walmart its a roller coaster environment now, and we think walmart is a safe harbor pick. Also we see upside, earnings coming up later this month on the basis of better than expected comp store sales. The reason you think that walmart is going to make more than everybody else thinks on the street is because you think their sales are running better than expected at this point. Do i understand that correctly yeah, in addition, we also like what were seeing with the Cowen Consumer tracker theres digital intensity at walmart in terms of the innovation theyre conducted on the battle versus amazon a lot of customer overlap here 85 with amazon, however, walmart is holding their own with the jet. Com deal, free shipping, as well as thinking about the integration of bricks and clicks so our call here is walmart, and we like it in this volatile environment. Its a 500 billion retailer we think its a safe harbor kind of stock which offers you a dividend yield, a Free Cash Flow yield, steady growth has somebody stopped shopping at walmart because the market is down 9 . Thats the thing. The consumer is actually pretty strong we have low unemployment, we have wage growth walmart offers you very strong values we think values, indeed values are great longterm thematic way to think about the market, and people dont stop shopping our call here is that physical traffic will be positive that will lead to earnings upside youre also positive on target, right . Yeah, we have a market perform on target, but more constructive on target target is a little different about 20 food walmart is 50 food. Walmart has a higher grocery penetration. So were seeing nice broad based strength they also have private label brands as well and digital m a, which is great, too. Theyre better positions, were positive here. Market perform on target, our pick is walmart with our outperform there let me broaden out my earlier sort of flip question about walmart, to retail in general. If consumers dont feel as wealthy or they feel a little less confident about economic prospects because the market is wobbling and they look at their 401 k and its not what it was at the beginning of the year, could there be a knockon effect to some of the retailers you follow or is it too early to worry about that well, i think that is a worry because were in a very interesting challenge environment with the u. S. Consumer so what we like are names like costco, tjx, ross, walmart retailers that offer ua strong value that are gaining share in the mixed environment, and we think theyre well positioned to win in the event that theres less optimism or more optimism thats our thesis here with the value consumer we think those that offer really clear everyday low prices, values, really focused on that as a theme, its a good theme to think about in this volatile environment. All right, well see how the call compares when earnings come out next week. Thank you, oliver. Thanks for having me. Great to see you. All right, where are traders looking for value as stocks sell off . Well bring you the read from the trading nation Team Straight ahead on power lunch. At fidelity, trades are now just 4. 95. We cut the price of trades to give investors even more value. And at 4. 95, you can trade with a clear advantage. Fidelity, where smarter investors will always be. Time for trading nation. Craig and gina sanchez greg, you nailed it. You said it would be a hop and a drop and a pop basically you thought it would be a slide are you still sticking with that or is this slide changing your view technically what we were talking about a few weeks ago is a hop, which we got. The drop, which were now in and ultimately a pop into yearend looking for 2850 no change with our view. Were still in that kind of drop phase. We got down to 2600, found support there. Had a bit of a brief rally ran right into the 50day moving 20 failed to go through that. Now it feels like well be coming back down, testing that 2600 and thats the next level to watch one thing ill add is in terms of overall market sentiment, when we get selloffs, i like to reach around the trading is it desk and see what theyre seeing, feeling, those things. The most colorful analogy is this is the early days of the flu and has not run the course more time is required. Gina, what do you think, big drop here, but craig more optimistic down the road are you . So, actually, i am, brian i know thats unusual. But the Global Economic picture and u. S. Economic picture is very supportive. The other thing ill say is lets remember whats driving this whats driving this downturn in the stock market is emanating from the bond markets. At first it was a fear of inflation. Today i would say its a fear of adding to the deficit. Those are all bond problems. Ultimately those will cause a selloff in the market and that money will ultimately find its way back into the stock market because the fundamentals, while our expectations may very very high and those could be in for a disappointment, the reality is, theyre still pretty good. Still pretty good a little optimism from gina. We like that for more trading nation, to go to tradingnation. Cnbc. Com. Check please is next as the dow fou falls 600.

The Dow Jones Industrial average is only 8 from its most recent highs we always talk about our stocks and a correction loose definition is 10 . We continue to watch that level. Lets bring in bill and kelly at the nyse as we count down to their program, the closing bell in just about a few seconds. Here we go again be. Im surprised we still use decos. I havent heard that theyre out of date by the time we put them up this week. They are. Interest rates have been getting the blame for some of this today. Sullys survey not withstanding. If you take a look at the dow or vix, today is a mini version of monday because as equities have gone lower, the vix has moved inversely. It peaked as we hit the lows for the day around 1 00 this afternoon. I think were seeing something of a modest version of mondays trade here the whole volatility trade brians been talking about. I wonder, is the vix the dog or the tail . Vix is supposed to b
