Suit in multiple states to stop vote counting. Heres a look at where things stand that hour. In the race to the 270 electoral votes to win the white house, according to nbc, Vice President biden has 253, President Trump as 214 we continue to await results from five critical states, pennsylvania, north carolina, georgia, nevada, and michigan. President Trump Holding on to the lead it is continuing to narrow as mail ballots are being counted the pennsylvania secretary of state will have an update next hour in arizona, President Trump narrowed the gap but biden is holding on to a 68,000 vote lead were still awaiting several hundred thousand votes in maricopa county, the most populous and diverse area in the state. A new count there expected to come later tonight and in georgia, Vice President biden has significantly narrowed the gap which recently stood at about 18,000 votes and more than 60,000 votes Outstanding New numbers from democrat leaning Fulton County coming any munn a minute and thats where we find contessa brewer. Hi, jon were in bacon county which like most of the other Rural Counties in georgia has already accounted for its ballots. Here 86 for trump but as absentee ballots are being processed, trumps lead is shrinking. At midnight he led by 372,000 votes. And then 24 hours later, he led by 23,000 votes. Metro areas saw the absentee ballots coming in and being counted. I want to show you a live look at ballots being counted in Fulton County. This is the atlanta area were expecting more vote tallies there coming shortly Election Officials say just minutes ago there are about 11,200 still to go remember, this morning they said that 7500, that was just before 6 00, and now theyre increasing that the margins are razor thin a total of about 60,000 votes still to count, less than. 5 separating trump and biden and waiting on the results in the bigger metro regions, atlanta, savannah and others. Biden has a clear advantage. President trump and the Georgia Republican party filed a lawsuit in this state accusing Chatham County properly counting absentee ballots received after the states deadline a poll observer claims that he saw a worker mishandling ballots. The county election supervisor there quoted in local media saying, look, this observer doesnt know what hes talking about. There is a log of every ballot that comes in and continuing to track that ballot as its processed. As we wait for the vote totals, keep in mind in georgia, if the margin is less than. 5 , the candidates may demand a recount. So even when we get the vote totals in and part of the delay is they have a new way of adjudicating it where the machines mark something even with a stray mark on the ballot and spit it out for review that is part of the delay. Even when we get the vote totals, if it comes within. 5 , that means we could see a recount. Right thank you. I know youll be watching all this for us. All faang stocks are rallying today, continue to rally with the markets have the best week since april. Joyce chang, j. P. Morgan and Small Cap Growth FundPortfolio Managers join us now good morning you to both joyce, let me get to you first investors, theyre cheering the prospect of a divided government are they pricing in Economic Uncertainty as covid19 infections rise and potentially get ready to see a smaller stimulus package well, i think divided government means youre not going to see radical change either way some of the fears about getting more populous, more regulatory issues coming up, some of that is going away. But were already seeing some sounds about the fiscal stimulus now it might be smaller than some people thought. It may also come earlier we still kept the gdp growth for the Fourth Quarter at 3 for the u. S. I mean, we had to take down the revisions in europe, you know, by comparison. So i think the market is going to look at the government refunding bill we can get some small stimulus done, maybe on airlines, maybe on ppe that can actually happen in december and then you get something that is, you know, maybe its not 2 trillion but 1. 5 trillion thats done early in 2021. Chris, let me ask you about mega cap tech. Just a week ago we were talking about earnings the names were under a fair amount of pressure after expressing uncertainty about the quarters ahead has that narrative totally gone away at this point investors certainly focusing on the Growth Prospect and potentially, you know, regulation being held up in a divided government so what i think were witnessing is a reversal of the potential for the blue wave that i think people were preparing for. And so with that, whats been taken off the table is really some of these more far Left Progressive policies that i think the market was fearing and one of them at this time of the year is potentially higher capital gains. And some of those winners going into this would have been at risk where we would have seen more selling so we are seeing that abating. We think thats good for the markets here we have had a good few days so far. But i think, you know, once we get out of our earnings season which has been a little better than expected, were going to come back to, say, what is really going to be the impact of covid19 what is going to be the impact of divided government if there is a change in the white house what sorts of policies would they may put in for executive orders i think its going to be a less pro Business Environment if thats the case. But with a republican held senate, i think a lot of things will be held in check. And theyll probably not be a lot done over the next four years unless its sent out from the white house. Joyce, i wonder what are you telling investors who are surprised at the ease with which the market pivoted from blue wave bullish narrative to now a divided government bullish narrative and think this is just in discriminate buying and why is there no period of turmoil as we got the new political forecasts . This is not a way for either the democrats or the republicans. But its been very orderly i think thats what the market is focused on. When we did a lot of our investor surveys, they were worried about something that would be very disorderly so the real winner here i think is the state Election Officials. You have an unprecedented turnout. Its been very orderly and very peaceful so far. I mean what the market will look at is this going to drag on and how much longer . It looks likes the results are coming in steadily and relatively quickly were in a world of divided government but that means no big tax changes. Lower rates are longer some fiscal stimulus that will be forthcoming even if its not near as big as what might have happened but no radical changes so the focus will turn back to the economy. Where are we with respect to covid19 and Central Banks have remained very supportive here and weve seen that from, you know, the ecb, from the bank of england earlier. We still have, you know, very much anticipation that, you know, the Central Banks need to be there and that we need another stimulus to tie us over until we get more progress on awe vaccine. Good morning. Now i know you watch small caps. I want to ask an ecosystem question what we just had qualcomms ceo on that stock is up better than 13 so far this morning on the back of earnings. Partly because 5g adoption is going better even than qualcomm expected now there are down stream effects for lots of stocks potentially. I imagine many of which youre watching in this 5g transition. What should investors be paying attention to there this morning . Well, 5g is certainly been a growth theme weve been talking about for the last couple years. And it is here youre still going to see a lot of expansion within the infrastructure and with the devices. You want to look at the supply chains like a qualcomm is a perfect example. But there is a lot more components than just qualcomm into the devices and what makes the system work. So we would expect to see those supply Chain Companies continue to do well thats an area that we feel very strongly, quite frankly, with whatever the outcome of the election would be. There are, you know, certain materials that are out there, material stocks that are making these technologies possible. So that too is, you know, where weve been putting money in the small cap companies. And were still excited about it i would just say in a general sense though, weve had this reversal and euphoria in the market that makes us maybe a little more cautious right now that we got a lot of great gains right now. But there are still some good names out there for communication, you know, for delivery, for content processing so those are areas that we think still remain very well joyce, last one for you when folks are thinking about potentially rebalancing their portfolios, lets say from growth to value, what is the most important factor . Is it still the pandemic well, pandemic and also the executive orders what will some of the First Executive orders deal with that a potential Biden Administration could issue . And there will be a lot of focus on the Energy Sector could he actually try to reverse the regulations . The deregulations there. And also on Climate Change, rejoining the paris climate agreement. Alternative energy will be in focus as well. Its covid19 first and what the Central Banks are doing and also if were going to be in a divided government, which ones will come first . I think Climate Change and energy are at the top of the list joyce and chris, thank you so much for being with us today and your insights. Well talk to you again soon carl thank you thank you got some news in just the last half hour here. The u. S.

Investors are optimistic over a biden election win and the prospect for further legalization of cannabis joining us with more on that is vivian azer, one of the deenz of t deans of the veep. We had a long discussion this morning about the ease with which the measures are passing it at the state level. New jersey, it feels like trying to push a rock up the hill it is your sense that were now at the top of that hill . Absolutely. There is a two billion opportunity for new jersey for adult use sales by 2025. The state legislature has challenges getting it over the finish line. They kicked it to the voters and the voters said yes. So now the mandate is for the state legislature to get it done were modelling for commercial access of adult use cannabis july 1st of 2021, the same time we saw for nevada. Are we looking at volume growth among existing players or is this an m a story thats interesting. You know, there was a big rash of m a 24, 18 months ago. The doj reviews were really challenging. I think much more its about organic growth for a market like new jersey, the key players, the gtis, green thumb, our top pick, pure leaf, theyve already got, you know, one medical dispensary and they have options for two more satellites i think they build off the past and they have that vivian, there doesnt seem like a concrete path towards federal regulation so i wonder, could this create a patchwork of regulations for companies to operate in and does that ultimately hinder growth . What were calling for is decriminalization consistent with the commentary from the biden and harris campaign. Candidate harris certainly called that out during her debate with Vice President mike pence. We think there is about 10 billion in upside just from states moving the needle as you get montana was a surprise to us for adult use on the Election Night south dakota for adult use was a surprise to us now you have four republican senators that are representing adult use states so it helps. Speaking of senators, weve watching these races in georgia and the potential for two runoffs. And the potential for Senate Control now which i dont know, theoretically could not be under mcconnell. What would that mean for these names . That would be true will you transformtive for the u. S. Operators. If the senate is controlled by the democrats, our base case is that we see a modified version of some existing legislation called the states act. We qualify and say its modified, we think given the current backdrop you need a social equity kpocomponent. Once you have the federal excise task, there is a nice domino effect that happens. That will address commercial access, it will address to the onerous tax regime that the u. S. Operators are subject to and most importantly for us, it would necessarily result in Capital Access markets we would expect a listing of the canadian u. S. Operators to the exchanges. Fascinating feels like we went through a long period where we talked about it then we didnt and now were talking about it a lot vivian, good to see you. Thanks for the help today.

As you can see they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance, but they often have higher monthly premiums and no Prescription Drug coverage. Now, lets take a look a humanas Medicare Advantage plans. With a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, Doctor Office visits, and medicare deductibles are covered.

Humana a more human way to healthcare. 5g is dropping down in price tier much more rapidly than you would normally see in the early stages of a Technology Transition if you compare it to 4g, the tiers absorbing 5g are faster than what you would have seen back then. Poi the second point, you see the richer phones being purchased in the higher tiered. You see that in the developed world and in china so for example, in the new apple devices, they all have 5g and i think people are willing to pay up for more technology that was qualcomms ceo talking about 5g, demand and mix. Keep in mind, qualcomm was at 68 at the beginning of the year the deck appeared stacked against them they were in these legal fights with big names, with countries, apple, for example, for a long time that has cleared up. And now coming through this covid19 epidemic that were still in, demand for 5g devices is not only diverse moving into cheaper phones but the people who are buying premium actuary phones, think about the iphone 12 various tears that are coming out. Theyre also buying high end phones so multiple areas of good news they had a beat on the top and bottom they guided about a billion dollars above consensus. Eps, midpoint at 205. Lots of positive news for qualcomm absolutely. Making them one of the best performing chip makers this year they had to overcome the obstacles you laid out, jon. How much can we read into apple iphone 12 demand i know we were disappointed last week, investors were at least when apple didnt give a Sales Guidance for the 12. Of course, qualcomm has lots of different customers beyond apple. Did you get a sense of how far we can or cannot read into that part of the story . Thats what i was trying to tease out. I was asking steve about demand in different categories. The mix toward the premium tier. And what i heard in that answer that he gave is that in the premium tier, demand is pretty strong people are willing to pay up for more technology. Now that holds throughout q4, that should translate, carl, into good demand for the iphone 12 pro and pro max which would mean that they can sell as many as they can make perhaps thats what tend to get from april until a Holiday Season and the margins should be pretty good so thats the read through if youre looking to be optimistic on what qualcomm showed in the ecosystem overall. It gets backed up over at verizon and jpn. They go to overwait. Talking about wireless services. Also rolling in some election dynamics, too. Lower risk of tax hikes, of course, that 4 yield. Watching markets here, no the too far from session highs every single dow stock is green along with names highly exposed to areas like china. Dow and cat erpillar lead the undechl at the moment. But we didnt stop there. We made a cloud flexible enough to adapt to any size business. No matter what it does, or how it changes. And we kept going. So you only pay for what you use. Because at dell technologies, we stop. At nothing. I got it all from you im always pushing through i know well make it to the finish line i know youre waiting on the other side im like you ondemand glucose monitoring. Because theyre always on. Another lifechanging technology from abbott. So you dont wait for life. You live it. Welcome back, everybody. Im sue herrera. Here is your cnbc update at this hour hour in minnesota, a judge declined to move the trial of four Police Officers charged in George Floyds death. They argued that their clients cannot get a fair trial in mincminc minneapolis. The head of an International Delegation monitoring the u. S. Election found no evidence of vote tampering on election day he said they also looked into President Trumps claims of mail in ballot fraud and found no violations in greece, the government there announcing a three week lockdown to slow new covid19 infections. Those new restriction goes knee infect on saturday and people in south florida will be keeping a close eye on the remnants of hurricane eta. The storm caused deadly flooding in honduras. Eta is expected to hit cuba this weekend. It could approach florida early next week. Well be keeping an eye on that for you. Youre up to date, jon, back to you thank you, sue were approaching the bottom of the hour lets turn back to the Market Action we have an update on where things stand. Market action that is very, very much bullish, jon it has been for the past few dawes for t days for the markets overall we had had uncertainty going into this particular election week as you can see right now, the Dow Jones Industrial average is up 2 right now. 556 points to the upside the s p 500 up by 74 2 gains there that is picking up above the 50 average price. Taking a look at the cross currents moving with the markets right now. What is driving some of the action the sectors so far this week that have done the absolute best, that have been driving the action to the upside have been the Technology Sector which is up about 9 . The Health Care Sector which is up about 8 . And the Consumer Discretionary is up 8 as well the three sectors, three of the biggest and heavily weighted ones have been driving a lot of the upside action here with regard to those three sectors, some indicative stocks that weve seen, telling that story of why those sectors have been doing so well, there is a resurgence in semiconductor names. The semiconductor etf, one of the big ones that tracks it, hit a record high today. Nvidia, onest big names, up 13 on just that week to date basis. On the health care side of things, health insurers, very much in focus again. Cigna, one of the top performers there, earnings were a big part of that story. So is this notion that deregulation or im sorry, not deregulation, a lack of more regulation coming down the pike because of a blue wave in washington, d. C. , could be helping the names. Cigna up 30 and pulte group, a resumption of the Home Builders to the upside there. One other key stock to watch over the course of the past few days has been amazon one of the Biggest Companies out there. This on the heels of Regulatory Filings showing that jeff bezos sold about another 3 billion worth of amazon stock bringing the total sales of amazon stock hes had so far in 2020 to north of 10 billion and we know that he still has about 170 billion worth of stock still though at these levels, were talking about amazon, a 1. 67 trillion market cap company. A very big one out there, especially in the case of vud possibly rising in the fall. One of the names to keep an eye on in the Consumer Discretionary sector back to you. Absolutely. Bezos taking billions out, you wonder if he is putting that into blue origin thank you for laying that out. We head to break check out shares of alibaba. Theyre under pressure again today despite beating earnings expectations the stock also trying to recover following ant groups consolidation this week. Eaua aeyafr e teth brk.

Look for the ecolab science certified seal. music anncr give customers access to precisely what they want, when they need it the most. With adyen, the payments platform that delivers convenience for all. Adyen. Business. Not boundaries. Shares of uber and lyft soared and the drivers can remain dpint contractors this morning i caught up with lyfts former secretary of transportation and he said that they will try to replicate the win in california with the same playbook what were expecting is that other states might have otherwise been teed up to replicate this and what we want to do is engage in discussions with leaders of states who maybe considered that and to try to talk about a different model, a different way to pursue what i think we all want which is to make sure that the drivers are well taken care of, not only when theyre driving but before and after and to make sure there is clarity and certainty in this so that its not living under a cloud. So, jon, this was a big win not just for the Ride Sharing Companies but for the economies in california at large and potentially in other states as well but we should note that this was a very expensive ballot easure the wins are not guaranteed in other states and it will rise raise the cost regardless because they did promise certain protections and benefits in return for that support. Jon, we do get uber after the bell tonight and the focus now really shifts to that feeling like it never ending path to profitability and with uber shifting away from ride sharing to food delivery well see how elusive that remaunz. Yeremaunz. Remains. Winning may have been expensive but losing is even more expensive. Now they have to change the narrative to one where lets figure out we take care of this class of gig economy workers and make sure that theyre the Worker Protections that were trying to be mandated by some through making them employees. I mean, there are still questions about what happens with sick leave, what happens with other kinds of safety net type benefits that these workers need at a time like weve seen in this pandemic when they cant actually go out there and make that buck that they try to make day in and day out, carl well have to see if they manage to make the changes that fox was saying they want to. Were going to take a quick break. And were on with qualcomm at cdw we get you want happy, productive employees. Well weve made our office pet friendly.

We do have news out of georgia this morning the superior court of Chatham County, georgia, dismissed a case today ruling on a the Trump Campaign and the republican gops lawsuit filed there. Claim to essentially that an election observer in the savannah area saw an election worker handle late mail ballots in a manner that might have mixed them this with ballots that arrived on time Pete Williams said of all the gop lawsuits filed since election day, this seems the least significant but were keeping an eye on that obviously for a variety of reasons. In the meantime, arizona is another Battle Ground that were watching closely were all over that for days and joins us with the latest hau, carl what youre looking at here in arizona is 400,000 uncounted ballots at this time and donald trump is going to have to win about 60 of them in order to catch up with joe biden here in this state but you look at last night, there was 150,000 ballots processed. And donald trump did just that so essentially if donald trump is able to maintain that 60 to 40 line, he would match joe biden here in the state. The big question here is, as i was talking with a top biden official last night, they believe that in that last batch that batch that will be the ballots that were hand delivered on election day, not in person voting but mail in voting, mail in ballots that were hand delivered, those will trend at a better rate towards democrats because they believe that more democratic voters as well as independent voters showed up on election day itself to turn over the ballots. Whether thats the case, were not sure at this time. The Trump Campaign though has hoped that essentially this margin in which donald trump has been able to operate off of continues because you remember on Election Night, joe biden jumped out to a double digit lead ever since then, he clawed away at that. And now the question is on the last batch there which we should expect another portion to be released later on tonight in the state, will those slow down and be more like a 54 , 53 for trump as posed to that 60 threshold he has to meet in order to catch up to joe biden carl yeah. Its so fascinating. You think about arizona right now, you think about data coming in later in the day, right given the time zone difference you think about controversial calls made by some decision desks that the white house did not like and now you have bidens Campaign Manager on the wire saying that it may take time to get full results there and that margin in the state may tighten, like you say yeah. And if it does in fact tighten here, its to what extent do we start waiting on the likes of provisional ballots . In tucson, there are 18 provisional ballots. We could be in a situation where were waiting four, five days at this point and again though, i will actually hashgen back to 2018. We had a similar situation here in the state of arizona. It was a u. S. Senate race between Martha Mcsally the republican and the democrat and on that night Martha Mcsally had a lead shech she won in person voters by. 29 . What happened on tuesday donald trump won in person voters no the only in this county but statewide two years ago, mishcsally insis that the mail in votes would reflect those who voted person that ended up not being the case 48 hours after that Election Night, they took the lead because she had a better advantage compared to in person voters than mcsally did. So that is what joe bidens campaign is hoping is reflected in these results that were going to get here over the next couple days as well. Because donald trump won by about 65 in person voters so if you chop that back by 10 , joe biden wins here in arizona fascinating great work out there, by the way. Its been amazing to watch you work on tv and on twitter. Thanks so much lets bring in stacy cunningham, president of the nyse to talk more about how the Exchange Went into this period of uncertainty, stacy. I wonder if you can just fill our viewers in on preparations that you made in advance and your sort of characterization of the status right now i think mashgs arkets are opn the way theyre expected to. Coming into this period of time, we didnt take any steps above and beyond what we do all the time we never know when market volatility might hit we need to be ready for it at any point in time just like we were in the spring when the pandemic triggered major market volatility what weve seen is that, you know, election has been a bit of uncertainty that was, you know, out there as investors were looking towards what steps to take in the market the markets are reacting well right now despite the fact we dont have a clear answer. Things are operating the way theyre supposed to. Aside from actual market mechanics, is there a sense that because were sort of on the dark side of the moon here we may not know answers for some time that i dont know, ipo activity, pipeline, stuff like that slows down . Yeah. We tend to see throughout history, you see companies saying that they want to delay the ipos or avoid november based ond whatever Market Reaction to Election Results might take place. So there is that discussion that is happening all year long as companies have been planning they typically were avoiding this period of time. So while september and october were both months that are busiest ipo months on record, youre not going to see that same level of activity in november but then again in, december and q1, were starting to see a lot of companies, you know, theyre still targeting that time frame to go public i dont think it will have a long lasting impact. Certainly people just want to avoid any uncertainty in the market as theyre going public for the first time stacy, i know that companies that list on the nyse value having someone to talk to when they got questions about the market and perhaps the movement of their stock how have the questions changed during this period even just the past couple months yeah. I think everyone is trying to make sense of what is happening in the market overall. What are the drivers of major market moves weve certainly seen a lot of movement both to the upside and down side. Markets move more quickly than they used to those are the type of questions that were getting from companies as theyre trying to figure out what is happening as stock prices are moving very, very quickly a lot of that has to do with the way stocks trade today across so many different marketplaces and as Retail Investors and others are making sense of news out there. Theyre moving more quickly because markets are fragments. Thats been a trend. You like to have visibility in who the investors are so the provisions around 13f filing thats disclose what stocks Institutional Investors have positions in as an area of focus for us with our listed companies and advocating for that transparency so they understand who their Shareholder Base is. Thats an area of focus as well. Stacy, i want to go back to the ipo pipeline conversation and royaltiers theuters that ais anticipated listing could release the pro inspectous as early as next week setting the ipo in motion. And the company chose to list on the nasdaq so i wonder what pitch are you maching making to Tech Startups . Why do you think you came up short on this one . Were number fwhunone in ipo proceeds and tech. Some of the reasons why those Tech Companies choose to list on nyse is because of that market maker that jon was talking about, having somebody responsible at the controls to oversee the complex opening of the stock for the first time and then trading each and every day after that beyond that, many of the Tech Companies want access to our nyse community so with 70 of the s p 500 listed here, those are the potential clients and partners and so we can bring and harness the power of our community to attract new partners for them, new clients, new relationships and m a. And importantly, to solve some of the problems theyre trying to solve like diversity. One things that been an important issue for many of our listed companies is how do they tackle providing more diversity on the boards . So we use the power of the nyse community to do that by having a Board Advisory council where 25 nyse listed company ceos provide names of diverse candidates that are board ready and vouch for which really provides unique value to our ceo base across the board. So theyre really coming together a number of Different Reasons why Companies Choose the nyse time and time again. Were number one in race finally, stacy. What is your opinion in the response to the easterly zwraj of the game . Yeah. Theyre a very different product than they were traditionally there is a lot of information that is provided investors have choices shareholders vote several times throughout the prois toes say whether or not they want to continue to be part of the Business Combination or if they want to redeem their investment. So there is a lot of, i think, unknowns about spacs that people have misconceptions and people dont really realize that level of transparency is there i dont think that will be the answer for every Company Looking to go public now they have a Choice Companies can choose an ipo. They can chewsoose a direct lisn or a spac. Each one of those paths is different. Yeah. Its amazing how much innovation theres been we look forward to getting back there with one day i cant wait amazing how much innovation theres been. Theres so much talk about the election i think we were so proud of our history because our Founding Fathers we found at that time to support the Economic Growth of this country but whats important is america was founded on the point that we can have differences of opinion and we get to convey those opinion when is we vote i was encouraged by the voter turnout. Thats how we share our differences and we flereflect on what we see coming i couldnt have said it better we were just having a discussion on how smoothly a lot of this has gone and the markets rewarding that without a doubt stacy, hope to see you soon. Stacy cunningham of the nyse carl, check out the top gainers on the dow caterpillar is laeing the y,wa travelers and jpmorgan as well hi, my name is sam davis and im going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. Many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and Prescription Drugs.

Welcome back you can see zynga is down nearly 9 at the moment frank, from the looks of it, some investors might be a bit disappointed in the earnings guidance, but you say you got to spend money to grow the harry potter franchise do i have that right good morning. Yeah, it was a record quarter for us, a lot of really good results on the top line, profitability, margin expansion. As you noted, at the end we launched a hit new game, harry potter puzzles and spells. We guided the street to 55 year end growth, which is pretty good we did highlight we were going to be investing more in the launch momentum of harry potter as we move into christmas. In general its a strong guide from our perspective we remain bullish on the sector, gave reassurance on our guide in 2021 we will continue to grow double digits next year. Were well positioned in this growth category. When i think of zynga, i think of operating in the facebook ecosystem first, now in the smartphone ecosystem theres pressure on the likes of apple and google and their app ecosystem, theyre accused of having monopoly power and not wielding it well are there fixes that need to be made so zynga can grow at the rate and price that it should . I think that were growing well in the Current Conditions and in any situation that is forecasted for it in terms of things that might change, they would be tail winds for us given the current Market Conditions are serving us well, we take a lot confidence from the fact this is the largest, Fastest Growing platform in the world, the proliferation of High PerformanceSmart Devices globally is at a very high rate. With 5g coming into the marketplace, thats going to be a multiyear growth driver and if you look to this holiday, the new 12 series of phones coming from apple are offering new, interesting features the constant Technical Innovation you see in mobile, the expansion into emerging markets with global point to many years of growth for us. If theres changes related to regulatory or margins in terms of content makers play platforms, again, my point there would be those are largely tail winds for our company. Frank, talk a little bit more about the Holiday Season as more people continue to remain at home do you think that were going to see more consoles gifted does that come at the expense of mobile gaming . I dont think so. The majority of the players at zynga are busy adults, the majority are women if you look to this holiday, theres a lot of new devices with the new series of apple phones, new google phones, as well as new consoles you also have to look at the fact that retail is going to be unsettled with a limited black friday its going to be a very digital christmas. Theres going to be a lot of gift carding for platforms, for the app stores and that bodes well for us as we head into holiday. Finally, frank, lets talk election a little bit. We dont know yet who the next president is going to be it certainly appears that the blue wave scenario did not play out. When it comes to things like Data Collection and the sort of Marketing Tools you need to reach your audience, do you think this more divided government scenario is good for zynga . Does it matter you know, i think we respect the fact that our players privacy is important to them and as the governments like the eu bring out gdpr and california has rolled out privacy ruse, weve incorporated them into our operations and things have gone really well. Its too early to say what new regulations will come. In general, our philosophy is our players privacy is important. Y as the election settles tflt out, people were playing words with friends before this election, theyre going to be playing words with friends after this election and its our job to keep making highquality games and services for them. All right, thank you. Ceo of zynga, frank gibeau we see the major indices off the high and the dow up 500. We talked to qualcomm at the end of the 10 00 hour. That stock continues to be up better than 13 . Yep stocks at a record high today, john, every dow component green. Every sector green as well i cant help but take a look at the mega caps its almost like october was just a blip. You see these early gains in november and theyre just enormous it feels like trade is really back on. You see amazon up on the month almost 10 , facebook up more than 12. 5 sense november 1st. Within hailing distance, clearly the market is still hostage to these vote updates. Its time for the half lets got to the judge thank you scott wapner this hour stocks racing to their best levels meanwhile the election still without a winner speaking of, we expect to get more results from nevada sometime this hour lets go to eamon javers with where this race is currently you see joe biden with the lead this has been frozen in place now for
