The force is strong with this one. So are some of the technical glitches a rocky start for disneys new streaming service. Worldwide exchange begins right now. Arguably the best song of the year by luna welcome. I am Brian Sullivan. It is wednesday, november 13, 2019 futures now are down dow futures are off about 112 points no big news driving that maybe it is impeachment or Something Else or is that the markets will go higher every day. The nasdaq posting another record high. Get this, the dow was literally unchanged yesterday. That is the first time that has happened since april 2014 and only the third time in the last 19 years to finish exactly 0. 0. Think about that you did it there you go bond market over the last couple of weeks go up overnight in asia, down day in japan. Not today, it lost about. 8 protests spiraling out of control. Well get more on this in a minute not really, a lot of red in the screen it has been a good year for these markets as well. More in moments but first, political news which could begin shaping wall street as well. That is impeachment. President trump bracing for day one of the hearings. Those are set to begin at 10 00 a. M. Eastern time today. Jay gray joining us with what we might expect good morning. You talk about the markets and the nation preparing for and waiting to see what happens. Today marks a big shift in the process and a big test is the nation as interested or as intense as lawmakers begin in the process of impeachment the process begins today with bill taylor, lead u. S. Diplomat and george kent, a senior state advisor. Those are the first two witnesses that will be questioned by lawmakers as well as staff lawyers many of those already involved behind the scenes questioning many of the witnesses in private depositions. The public hearings will continue friday. We learn last night there will be at least three more public sessions one tuesday, wednesday and thursday of next week. This is a high profile public test for impeachment on both sides as well as the white house watching closely big story there thank you very much. It is not just the impeachment inquiry. Checking out the other stories that could weigh on that fed chairman jay powell offering the platform to respond to President Trumps attacks at the Economic Club of new york yesterday. We are actively competing with nations who openly cut Interest Rates so now many are getting paid when they payoff their loan, known as negative interest whoever heard of such a thing. Give me some of that i want some of that money. Our Federal Reserve doesnt let us do it thank you. Thank you. The smart people are clapping. We are following news this morning that the Trump Administration is continuing to work on the tax cut 2. 0 Program Possibly lowering the taxes to 15 . Look, the president has asked me to pursue something called tax cuts 2. 0 my pleasure. I think our tax cut could always use plenty of pro growth reforms. I dont want to be specific on anything it is too close for that and then on trade saying, quote, significant trade report could happen soon. But many are struggling to come to terms with a limited deal with the report emerging as the primary stumbling block. Joining us to make sense of it all is bill stone. We are pleased to have you on set this morning good to see you. Good morning. Thanks youve got impeachment. Continuing trade hikes what in your mind of those things or Something Else will be the primary driver the big thing and i think what the market is telling you is that the Global Economy seems to be at least stabilizing and pran perhaps Getting Better japan has been trading really well japan lives off Global Growth and trade. They dont live off their own domestic growth. Maybe japan which weve been talking for a moncouple of monts is the leading indicator i think you can look at a lot of these places acting better, i think all of that sends you that signal that we may be getting through this slower patch in economic growth. It is easy to be confused especially at 5 07 in the morning, which i often am. Stock prices are supposed to be the future value of earnings true. One thing is that Third Quarter was the toughest comparisons so yes, we are going to be down roughly 2. 5 earnings came in lower than expected to me, it is all about moving on to next year looking at almost 10 Earnings Growth i would say that is probably too high s even if you get midto high double digits, that is phenomenal real Growth Numbers were pretty good i think the question is, are we going to go into some kind of a meaningful economic down turn which would cut things further or do you think earnings prove this economy may stay stronger than we think for a little longer than we think youve seen, i believe consensus is moved away from beg so sure of the consensus in 2020 talking to you about the fact that we didnt think he was commenting and more coming alongside of it. Now you are getting to other parts of the world that seem to be bottoming in other parts of the world. What are some of the best parts of the market here and globally to develop in now . I think you are seeing in the industrials. I think Consumer Discretionary looks good well get retail salen the u. S. Are plentiful usually when that happens even in the phase of am son.

Developing story there as antigovernment protesters again taking to the streets for the Third Straight day city closingkey hubs, schools and businesses protesters ramp up their businesses well go live now to hong kong reporter businesses in Hong Kong Foreign and local are in a tough spot not only because of the down turn but also because protesters have started to label businesses as proprotester or progovernment based on how friendly the business is to demonstrators. There are several lists being spread on social media and through an app called whats gap. Businesses are given color rating yellow is protester friendly, blue or black is pro police and green is neutral this is a way to safe guard some of the businesses but as a side effect, it is starting to taint other companies as progovernment. One of them is mcdonalds because a protester suspected a store cooperated with police, so it got a progovernment rating. The other, japanese noodle company. And finally starbucks doesnt have a rating but manys shops have been vandalized in the past couple of months. This is more of guilt by association. The protesters dont have a problem with starbucks but a major problem with one local supplier owned by a family the daughter has been very vocal about her criticism of the protesters businesses are trying to shy very far away from talking about politics at all but there are some local Companies Going all in with the protesters one restaurant has come up with several new names for dishes no separation noodles.

Will account for 85 of the increase of global oil in the next decade as many oil and gas stocks trade as if they were going bankrupt member of ipo and cnbc partner. It is great to see you again i think. This has been a very tough market you vest in how many wells, over 4,000 . 5,500. Is the u. S. Oil production eating itself . This is a sector that used to trade at eight to 10 times now rerated to four to six times. We can buy companies kind of the commanding heights of oil and gas company at 5 to 5. 5 times the cash flow right now. Those are numbers we looked for. We could buy eog at six times cash flow. And by the way, eog is something i hear the best companies in the entire space and yet are trading at values of 10 to 15 a barrel but below financial crisis lows . Weaker than in 09 there is a total come place an si about crude investors are telling you we dont believe the inventory are representing we dont believe we have 30 years of drilling. The global commodity market are saying, you can take off 5 to 6 of Global Supply and we dont care because the u. S. Has so much capacity. We look at core inventory in the u. S. That breaks in the basis, it breaks even we have 10 to 15 years of inventory left in some cases, some of these companies are trading at lower than the cost of land. You are getting the operation for free so we buy private oil and gas products you have to create this asset. You have to buy the asset on the ground cheaper than the cancho stock. Crude prices, sector rotation. Oil and gas is not overvalued right now. The third thing here is there should be fewer oil and Gas Companies. There should be an m a cycle. With their debt loads, there will be fewer in the next 10 to 12 months. If we look at bond caps that is not really showing you distress on the small cap side, the bond deals are about 17 . Chesapeake is a good company. In its earnings the other day mentioned the going concern. Admitting that it may go out of business or have to restructure. When we are looking at the april appalacian companies we look at the oil large cap players, we dont see overleverage there eog has a half of turn and conoco and others. If you look at how they paid more for it. It was free inside of occidental in two months. What has to happen is that the ceos and the board has to be really tough we are going to do what is right for the business there is huge rational that will increase leverage and it will allow them to optimize returns kate richard founder and researcher of the warrick group. Interesting stuff. Yesterday, i had the chance to be the special guest at the blockchain summit. One of the hot debates on wall street now is whether you will be able to buy a bitcoin based etf. So far, that idea has been rejected i asked, she said she thinks there needs to be one. Assuming that the formulation fits within our rules, there is nothing we can have that stop it then it is up to the market. I dont know whether the market will like it weve seen some things where theyve fought so hard to get something to market and then the market says we think this is terrible we dont want it a good point. They prove the bitcoin etf doesnt mean theyll embrace it. We wanted to ask about bitcoin makers are they can remain competitive. Stocks have been tough research has been drying up. Regulation in europe in all but the biggest names making it easier for Smaller Companies to compete. You might see some innovation there. Youd see Smaller Companies could trade better because you could taylor the way the Market Structure worked for Smaller Companies.

Welcome back. Time for your executive recap. The headlines you need tesla has announced plans to build its fourth giga factory. It will be located in berlin, germany. To help the company avoid challenges of exporting cars from the u. S. To europe. Initiating a coverage of apple out performing the price target. Rbc says apple has avenue for deeper integration and to return significant cash to you. Ceo tim cook and President Trump are set to come together once again. The two will tour facilities in texas where apple products are made to show case keeping companies for jobs in america. President trump has Something Else on his mind he is bracing on the democratic ongoing impeachment proceedings to a public hearing on the matter which begins today. Joining us now with a preview of todays proceedings. Thats right. Democrats see this as a chance to unpool the story in front of the american people. Two key witnesses will testify they are bill taylor who said trump employed irregular allstar channels to communicate with the president republicans are ready to put up a fight. Ranking member who compares impeachment to a cult and republicans added one of the president s staunchest defenders. The ground rules for today are that the chairman and Ranking Member get 45 minutes each expect adam schiff to defer to his lawyer much of the time. Theyll each get five minutes to answer questions just over half of americans support the inquiry. 51 versus 42 . Democrats are hoping that theyll be able to push some of those numbers further in their favor. What is the time line some of those kick off today what is next what is tomorrow or next week . The first thing we know is there will be more hearings. We know there will be another hearing on friday and next week in the public again trying to make this case to the people after that, lawmakers go on recess for thanksgiving. Thats a time to take the temperature and see how this is really playing at home well have to see what the time line looks like and when an actual Impeachment Vote looks like in the house. Some are talking about a potential trial time line of 6 to 8 weeks that is just a guess democrats are focused on getting through these public hearings. It is fair to say this. Just based on what we have heard, the democrats not exactly aligned with each other. Some will proceed more caution on this inquiry. Democrats are weary of getting ahead of the polling on this there is concern if they rush into an Impeachment Vote to get something done, the public may not be with them or back them. That potential action could end up backfiring. Right now, they want to get through these and see how they play out right now, the senators are employees. They are supposed to adhere to our wishes thats what i was told in the apparently wasted Political Science classes. It is a complicated story. You intersect the world of the markets and d. C. Better than anybody down there what are people saying about why the market hasnt necessarily reacted to this. We have had one president impeached in the history of this nation why arent markets reacting more is. I think folks are really focused on what Mitch Mcconnell said he does not see a case for the president to be impeached. Right now, it looks like if the president were impeached by the house, he would be acquitted by the senate dont have a lot of time here why havent the markets reacted more to all of this . I think the markets are focused on the slow down which is dependent it is different for the deal trump is up against. We dont want a status quote for trade. Markets are hopeful this trade deal could be done do markets go up or is it already priced in . Emerging stocks have a rally here do we see a roll back of tariffs if we get some kind of deal. If it could lead to something further, there is simply mord rn the assets you are a chief global guy. Are you surprised weve seen this rebound in japan and europe is. Theyve done really well. Im not surprised only that weve seen inversions. Market turn from u. S. To the assets im encouraged by what im seeing and seen a definitive shift. That run to value will continue i think it will i think it is not just a oneyear thing these are longterm shifts we are excited about what could be a very Long Term Return growth for 12 years have been out performing always a pleasure. Thank you. Time for your morning rbi. Random but interesting weve been counting you down on the show number five italy, four, jamaica. Three, romania, russia, number two.
