Oh, look at this 10 year yields. Two point 94 . It is optimism on the economy. People tell you is good news but it is a little reminiscent of the problems weve seen in the past. We will see what it does to mortgage rates. Volatility continues for currencies, this time it is the dollar on top. We saw yesterday complete reversal of the dollar trading higher against the yen, pound and euro. Gasoline and oil prices. Oil is up again today, that is pushing gas prices up . 16 over the last 10 days. A quiet move that will bother people as they go over the river and through the woods. Gold futures trading down trading up from yesterdays close but down below 1200. All the Holiday Season, scarlet, is not cold. I wouldnt complain if i got any gold this Holiday Season. Gold jewelry, it is all good. Plug. Ess we scoured the pages for stories. Our first store is on chinas cash crunch. Money rates tumbled as china inject it cash into the economy for the first time in three weeks. The peoples bank of china pumped almost 5 billion into the system. This is a second cash crunch and about six months. It really highlights the risks we are seeing in chinas economy. There is too much lending, too much credit creation off the books. The question is, have a gone too far . They are worried theyre losing some control because of banks dont have enough funds at the end of the year when they need extra cash. They have been injecting this extra money and it hasnt been going far enough there it is the biggest operation in sometime is a try to make up for that very they want to make sure the money goes to the right places. Its darts to work a little bit. It starts to work a little bit. The rally that we have seen driving the s and the two new highs driving the s and p two new highs. Investment bankers, especially those involved in ipos, but bond traders, usually the guys who win, are looking so good this year. That is what special about the shift we have seen. If banks had a good year, everybody gets paid. But with this different model, why should you see mortgage guys , investmentraders bankers are slugging it out to bring these deals in, theyre the ones that need to get paid. When you hear from bank ceos, they have set top talent will continue to get compensated very it is a cant do that than the carlyle and kkrs are going to hire anyone that is halfway decent. Talent stays. There arent enough hedge funds out there to absorb these guys. But theyre paying anyway. Between private equity firms exploding in the last five years, youve seen huge shift from really talented people on the south side moving out. I must banks. Talent, banks, it is all about human capital. It is not like they are selling tvs, they are selling the skill of humans. Death to pay them if they want to bring in the dollars. Investors at jpmorgan could very well get a big heyday. Sign up for to healthcare. Gov covered starting january 1 was extended by one day. If youre signing up, you have until midnight tonight. This is an obama correction. We are not in the wrong here. This came about because it was a recordsetting crush of last minute shoppers that dissented on healthcare. Gov and it didnt work, not because of glitches but because there was too much folly him. Overall there were like 50,000 people on at the same time and the website cannot handle the traffic. Is the white house just rigging the system to make it work or are they really trying to do right by the American People who are trying to get on that website . They would argue that theyre trying to do right but they need a little more time. That wraps up our frontpage for now. But we do need to bring in more on this topic heard are just as today to discuss all of this, including all the talk about obama had, the manner tracks all, bloomberg contributing founder, ttaxonomy techy founder, jim taylor. R. That me start with you, david. And ask about the fact that the Obama Administration had to extend this because some people were using the website to read we didnt see any stories about the website crashing. In the psyche fix the problems . No, they didnt fix all the problems. Ity have bandaided together. When you trying to provide service for the entire country, you would think they wouldve built a system that wouldve handled more than 50,000. Helmick and amazon have let any one time . I dont know, but it is way more than 50,000, especially at this time of year. That should be the model and it was intended to be the model, but not by some of the people who were designing it. How much of a social cost does it impose in the country to have a system like that that doesnt work even if you are not signing up for this insurance . At a really know the answer to that, but i would say it imposes a huge social cost in the executiveat branch of our government doesnt understand Technology Well enough to have anticipated how significant the website would be in the rollout of the signature program. Delegate, delegate, delegate. No one expects a white house to understand tech, but they do understand enough to bring in people who do. Thehe one caveat is that situation is so horrible that they are hamstrung. The same problem with tying to build a new air Traffic Control system with the health care system. Five percent of tech oriented governments for german products have succeeded in recent years. It is shocking how much this set of rules impairs our country when it comes to tech oriented projects which increasingly is every project. Tim taylor of harrison group. On to say the social issue really was reflected in the polling results yesterday where women have become very reluctant to accept obamacare and women make the decisions and household about health care. They have been the least. Nclined to get angry a socialeally was effect. The oneday extension of the deadline doesnt help at all. Not extend for the whole week . 50,000 users stock simultaneously zapping solve the problem. Think anybody can really explain the full opportunities are available to americans on this. It is not clear even to me, who is a professional observer, what exactly this is supposed to accomplish and who it is supposed to serve. The fact that is is so complicated and youre saying women are accepting it, if women are saying at her feel safe or comfortable with this website, you can screw around with peoplesoft. Women are finally turning against it. The thing that makes it creepy is that they have introduced a rule that if you didnt clear in your program by january 1 they will offer some vague catastrophic option and there is no system to hand the paper down so somebody is actually ensuring that catastrophic option, i think were looking at major epidemic of lawsuits. We will see what happens at the end of the day. We do have one more day to login and signup. One big day. One final shopping did. One final shopping day. Pay a cu er taking a cut.

Introducing step kids to binging this Holiday Season. Here on bloomberg. Com and also on apple tv. This morning on bloomberg television. The governor of Washington State will be in at 11 45 a. M. Eastern. Were talking about christmas. Just in time for christmas, netflix has a present for your kids. Today the video streaming site offers turbo fast. Is based on racing snails. I saw this movie. It wasnt a huge hit, but it doesnt matter for fiveyear olds. If pixar made it, theyre going to watch it. What is interesting is that netflix is only releasing five episodes at a time. I guess he dont want kids to binge too much at once. The reason netflix gave is because they say kids watch tv differently than adults. They can rewatch episodes. They dont necessarily watch them in sequence. What is interesting is dreamworks. They say animation takes time. Thates it matter despicable me too, which came out this summer, was in a stronger movie. Does it matter or is there such a limited amount of these movies that kids will watch anything . What is interesting is that this is a gobetween strategy. They had this big deal with viacom to provide conference tent. This is just something to bridge that cap until it gets to all that disney content including four new tv shows about marvel characters. Using this as a way to hold things over and keep that kid demographic in their. Marvel characters are bit different. There you check kids and fan boys and grown men urged turbo, youre talking about true kids here. How important is his demographic to netflix. Other just taking a flyer to see what kind of traction they can get or do they have a core audience that they need to win over . It is a core audience. They estimate that half of netflixs customers have a kid in the household. Ownon is coming in with its programming for kids. Netflix has to watch out for and of course hulu plus. This may be the way that netflix can raise prices on customers by offering a kid friendly package we pay next to four dollars a month, for instance. Netflix has an incredible track record with the quality of its shows. They have not had a real failure yet. They are really doing great as a content company, which no one would have expected even a year and a half ago. I was looking at the reviews of this new television program. Barely it is not as good as the movie which didnt get very good reviews in the first place. The question is, do kids care . Saturday Morning Television might suggest no. Theyre probably blocking out the times in the day when nobody is watching netflix except possibly kids and flashing in cheap programming for really critical time slots that are not part of that is why theyre introducing a during the Holiday Season. Everyone is home from school and parents want them to be preoccupied. Exactly. Many parents feel comfortable with what pixar puts out. In terms of content, if you look when nickelodeon has gone, it has taken another level. People say it is fresh and many saves not appropriate. You can put someone in front of pixar and the comfortable. A spongebob is rude. Are you going to let your im trying to get my kids to watch brave. Redhead power chick .

Everyone is waiting for today, just like need. You are not waiting for today. Youre stillhance shopping. Right after work i am still running out and getting stuck.

He looks pretty relaxed for someone whos gone through so much over the last 10 years. Good fors look pretty his experience. But his experience was not something anybody wants to go through. The Jerusalem Post is saying what everyone is thinking. They come out and say no one following russian politics can seriously entertain the idea is anything pardon more than a concession to world opinion. Hard not to take the cynical view, given what putin has done here. Theres also a review in the new yorker this past weekend that the putin government is being sued by Foreign Investors over the dissolution of you close and that this is an effort to throw them off because they have been losing these cases. David kirk hat trick, i know you have something to say. The Jerusalem Post quote is so apt. Either putin is so astonishingly corrupt that is really scary and i think it is endangering the whole world, to be honest here it is total windowdressing what theyre doing with right and khodorkovsky. What they are doing with puss. Youand khodorkovsky cant take this as them moving towards democracy. The only Prison Inmates to have let out word thepussy riot people. We will continue this conversation with david kirk hat trick and jim taylor of harrison group, a guest host for the hour. We will also be discussing retail. It pretty tepid recovery so far.

He is an outlier here. I dont think he gave a pot to what he said in a moment he said it. Vuitton isk louis irritated about the fact that they have a deal on one side and you scorching the brand on the other side. Im not sure that it has any real impact. Havetrongest Luxury Brands tried to fix her Balance Sheets by getting prices up to what they wouldve been like that had not cut them back in 2009. That is interesting because the story we keep telling every day is about retailers cutting prices. Americans holding out for bargains. The people you track really dont care. The worlds of affluent shopping is split into people who are dedicated to looking for deal but another group of people, almost half the market are looking for something they call worth, which means extraordinaire quality, service, artistic amplitudes. Those sorts of things. That side of the market is not so concerned with discount as youre concerned with the true essence of the product. Has been a big winner in this process. Source private aircraft and automobiles. It is interesting where the money has gone. Calexico is back to that idea of experience reigning supreme. Idea that is crossed over into retail. Experience matters more than the price you get it out. I would love to make a point that takes it further. It was more to the people who arent shopping. I have a theory as to why people are not spending as much at the tail holiday. That is because these devices are sucking so much value in from all of us and theyre so exciting to own the people increasingly dont feel they need a lot of other consumer products. Page piece in New York Times is saying that three and fouryearolds are asking for devices. If youre talking highend, if youre talking about that altra one percent. Care of that handbag is or 20,000. Got a one percent is shock in 2009 unknown is got over it yet. What sucks the oxygen out of the market is a 35 savings rate of the top. In 2006 and the 35 now, the fines would equity markets and the rest of it is going into savings. We passed the 7 trillion point in cash savings. There is a hundred billion dollars in checking accounts are now as opposed to 100 billion in 2007. Huge amount of money sits there and waits for Something Interesting to do with it. A lot of fascinating things in your survey. The number one gift that always rich people are buying is gift cards. Teenagerscause your are happy with them. Your aunt separate them. You have an control the agenda for shopping. You dont know what they really want. The interesting thing between men or women come a where men can predict what women want pretty well, women are in some ways offended by what men really want. Women are offended tackle why, what do they really want . Blues, electronics and toys. You want to give us a new tiein books. And things objects that dont disgrace household. My husband just wants me to call him less. Question about your survey because you do talk about the rapidly growing dominance of the one percent and how income disparities have grown tremendously. You people with this kind of money to spend in your survey expressed any regrets or doubt or guilt about how much they have and how little other people have . 95 of the wealthiest americans grew up in the middle class. Theyve all got brothers and sisters that didnt make it like they did, so they all experience a lot of pain from the distance, the social distance between themselves and others. The first thing that happens when you get your first liquidity event is the phone call from aunt or uncle needing a loan. There is a certain amount of guilt is probably the wrong and then thece, desire not to be fingered publicly for their assets. So stealth wealth, the desire to keep it under the table is a significant part of this life. Therefore, one of the things were seeing is that for example the return of the second house. Not very stealthy. No, it cant be seen. To build the house on christo harbor in st. Kitts, it cant be found. Theres a way you can materialize good spending without having it to become something that gets you fingered. Now you can gilt . A good she andhermes. Now shopping online. We have this National Garage sale going on line on ebay with really significant objects. Or the you go to basel significant auctions, it is surprising how much money is being spent typically on things that are really worth it very firstclass picassos are nine figures now. Lousy ones are still 20,000 bucks. One of the high points it does get discussed that much is first dibs which is a really highend antiques website like and ebay for rich people. Everybody wanders around with a mental awareness of how much your stuff is worth. Is it any impulse to charity among these people . Decline in the extent to which people feel engaged with their community as his clasping has begun. That is bad. Are continuing to donate, but the proportion of income that is donated by middleclass people is far greater than the proportion of income unaided by wealthy people. The bill gates programs at all therestanding are some great philanthropists new york city. To it is time, we want you send us your responses to the trivia question of the day here on bloomberg surveillance. What is you go to store for lastminute gifts and why. Illance.

In bangladesh a 40 Million Relief Fund has been set up for the families of those killed and injured in a garment factory collapsed. 1100 workers were killed in the factory which made clothes for western retailers. Says it is focused on making sure no more disasters happen in the future. Those are your top headlines this morning. It is time for our single best chart. Very appropriate because were buying all this christmas stuff from china. Made in china. This is the scene for our best chart. It shows that china is the worlds biggest trading partner or second biggest trading partner with basically the entire world. China in white, the red countries are those where china is the largest trading partner. The orange china is the second biggest and the yellow the third. Premuch the whole world. The data behind this map is gross trade flow. Value added done in china is fairly modest. China imports parts and semifinished goods and exports of final product which is also which is usually of a higher value than what it imports. Regan of tom brown so we havent been this nerdy this week. Their questions about the us trade statistics because we counted as full value coming from china and a lot of it is just of that is made here or other countries and then flows through china. As one of the questions about china and its emergence as a Global Manufacturing power. They make things but they dont design then there. They dont begin the process there they just assemble the components that are designed elsewhere like in the United States. They have the skill and ability to turn on the finished product at a speed no other country in the world can do. China is a source of Global Technology production from a hardware point of view. The chart andat thinking how interesting it is. Ive read a lot recently about chinas focus on europe. Europe is the one Major Economic region and the Worlds Largest economic region by some measures, which is not dominated by chinese trade. Theyre focusing very aggressively on moving into europe for trade, both import and export. Does europe eventually become red over the next 1020 years . Think it will appear to the chinese are very focused on areas they have a lot of savvy when it comes to trade. They are becoming the global dominant economy. It is dangerous to think of china as an endpoint manufacturer, northern mexico. That the land on the moon this week. Thereve been very clever things on the design side and in the luxury space they are about to launch their own brands this year. Well see what happens. I think chinas formidable leadership in manufacturing is going to be a formidable leadership in intellectual property soon. Theyre innovating in some fascinating ways. Watch a video online about a train that is not to stop at stations. You get any pot at the station and the pot gets onto the train and gets off of the neck station. The train never stops, the pods move between stations. Well continue this conversation. We will discuss technics. Well take a look at the big biggest tech themes. This is bloomberg surveillance. Bloomberg surveillance. This is bloomberg andeillance. Lefties company news now from the files a bloomberg west. Tesla motors will keep its five star government rating. Shares of tesla have fallen 26 from a record high since the first fire back in september.

To bid on expected time warner cable. Mobile willh china boost apples marketshare by just three Percentage Points to eight are sent. The problem is that iphones are still too expensive for most chinese customers. That is todays company news. The thinking there is apple does have room to lower the price on continues. To focus on tech. With 2013 winding down, some of the biggest stories have been in the tech world. Twitters ipo, microsofts ceo stepping down and dealt going private. Ahead and asked a question if tech is going to dominate the zeitgeist. David kirkpatrick, what do you think is most important in the tech world next year. Were spent so much time talking about mobile payments, does that mean there will be an ipo for square . Are probably will be an ipo for square and it is one of several companies that is thinking intelligently about payments. Were going to see amazon go into competition with square, probably. The question rises in my mind, however merchants who hate amazon so much all over the world feel about accepting some kind of payment mechanism in realworld retail that amazon dominates . People worried about hacking. Isnt going to make anyone back off on the mobile payment front . There is no absolute liability for payments of fraudulent. The Credit Card Companies are worried about all this online crime. The targeting was shocking to everybody. 40 million cars is a lot of cards. August mobile payments aside, isnt a bigger issue that credit card fraud is it easy because of that Magnetic Stripe . Is based on technology from cassette tapes. The Magnetic Stripe has got to go. They took it away long time ago in europe and use a chip embedded in the card. It is absolutely necessary. Im sure we will see big Movement Toward that in the u. S. This targeting probably was the Tipping Point that will cause people to say lets get the technology right in cards. What about phones. You can do with an apple iphone yet. Iphone six going to incorporate this technology so that by the end of 2014 we are Walking Around holding up our phones to pay for things that go theres been a lot of technology to allow you to a with your phone up. And i think people care that much about that sort of thing. A credit card is a relatively easy way to pay. I think we may get to a point where we user fingerprint. That would be something that reads or iris in her eyes. I think at the moment we are still at a point with credit cards with their simple enough for most people. Iee it huge push dont want to read the iris. That is a little too gattaca for me. In terms of actual jobs created, that is not really doing it. This worries me a lot, especially for this coming year where there are a lot of signs the economy is rebounding. Think of market will do well because companies will do well. It doesnt mean that ordinary workers will necessarily do so well. We were talking before about how the rich are doing great and dont even know where to spend the money. Increasingly the middle classes savings, you said that savings for the average middleclass the average savings for the middleclass families 32,000. And we lost a million members of the upper middle class over the last year. That is mostly the eradication of jobs because technology has eliminated the role of supervisor. Isi think automation significantly at fault for that and will continue to be a major negative for employment, even as Economic Growth and Company Health continues upward. Is our policy prescription for that . I would say the longterm ascription is obvious vastly improved Education System in United States which we clearly dont have enough focus on. n people tire lever skills, we will be in trouble as a nation. Theme is the Quarterly Report for twitter. Every metric for twitter is way higher than any other Internet Company and twitter has yet to prove itself as a business.

Aking a 15 the disney ceo will still take a little more than 34 Million Dollars this year in salary, bonuses, and stock awards he can still afford the kanye west sneakers.

And there are reports of very few instances of that happening. We will see how it plays out. Toething we will continue monitor. An early Christmas Gift for all procrastinators. In response to heavy traffic on healthcare. Gov yesterday the white house extended either day the enrollment deadline for obamacare. For anyone who wants coverage article january 1, 2014. Washingtonhief correspondent peter cook joins us with the details. I know the white house had ambitious numbers in once it wanted to get a certain number enrolled by december 20 third. Now they extended the deadline. Are they closer to meeting the goal . We dont have the final numbers at this point and the thele have until 11 59, 11th hour shift at the white house with healthcare. Gov, allowing people an extra 24 hours. The reason is they got record numbers yesterday. By the afternoon, some eight hundred 50,000 people had been on the site in some form or fashion. We dont know the final numbers. The president said more than a Million People signed up through december 20. But this is below where they had hoped to be. The target had been 7 million by the end of the enrollment period, march 31, so the idea that 3. 5 million could be signed up by the end of the calendar year. They are not there yet. We will see exactly where they stand. But this extra 24 hours will help them boost the numbers. Health care got no healthcare. Gov had problems because so many were on it at once but the president did sign up for a Health Care Plan as well. Give us some details. Well, sort of. The president does not need to go go to healthcare. Gov, he gets health care through the military. But as a symbolic just gesture they didnt roll them in. Bronze plan this is to respond to criticism from republicans that urged the white house and president to go through the same process that Everyday Americans are going through, so he has done it. Not going toe is use this coverage, he does not need the coverage. But it is something the white house wanted to show the president had in fact gone through this process just like a whole host of other americans. What are we getting from the Insurance Industry about all of this . Are getting some confusion and from americans thats right. There was this extension that caught a lot of them by surprise. Some have not daft, for example, to have people working today because the deadline was supposed to be midnight last night. Now they are scrambling to have people at their call centers actually manning the phones and computers and making sure everyone is enrolled in time and to get the paperwork in time for january 1. Enrollment is one thing but youve got to pay for it and you have to have all the information confirmed and backed up id insurance companies. Some are scrambling. Dealing with that by and large, the message from the industry, and the big thing, of course, is paying for it and the Companies Giving americans until january 10 to do it. Peter cook, thank you very much. We will keep an eye on what is happening with healthcare. Gov, as does our guest host for the hour. He is here with us to discuss the biggest social trends of 2013, including the whole health care debacle, and looking ahead to 2014. A bloomberg contributing editor David Kirkpatrick and we also have the founder and ceo of group andl marketing a marketing professor at Georgetown University and a. Rofessor of epatient you fit into this healthcare. Gov question. We talk about the technology failures. This is a marketing failure as well because it goes beyond whether or not i can use the website, but whether or not i want to touch the whole thing. One of the most basic marketing blunders at all if you dont show people having success with something, and the people having failures are more vocal, people think it is a failure. This and this time is the white house is dealing with a big problem because there are so many people want to sign above the net effect is the same people can sign up, whether a glitch or too much volume. That is part of the problem, we hear more and more that people can sign up and then you have president obama himself who does not need to sign up going through the process saying, look, it works. Cover ing cover, pr i wonder if he actually did it. That is really unlikely. If the pr factor is so important, the fact we are here and was so much demand they had to extended for the the a day, is is positive. But this, for all of the unpleasant problems is a positive step toward a more ed health care system. We inevitably will make tremendous process by moving for the House Health Care system where technology plays a much bigger role. And finally we are slowly getting people into the system using technology. I think when we get further we will find that technology is really helping us to treat people. Spent a lotknow you of time looking at its peak in the best and the brightest in Silicon Valley and here in new york there it if you were one of Silicon Valleys best and brightest, would you want to be involved in the obamacare writ rollout . The president said, help me fix this mess, is it helpful or whole . Hurtful to your career . I think they are very patriotic and a lot will rise to the challenge. I think i would if i were one of them. They mostly still like the guy.

Patiente a book e 2015. You talk about the ability to access records will transform medicine. A lot of times when people hear the term epatient today think of people going online but to us e band for empowered. It is not just going online to being more active at as a participant, whether you are sick and dealing with the something or regular maintaining. Can you give an example . Found,of the things we something called accelerated trial sourcing. The idea buzzword, but that Clinical Trials, which used to be the closeddoor thing, now patients are aggregating on social networks, using tools to bring themselves together and saying, hey, we all have these conditions and fit the parameters do a Clinical Trial on us. They are doing half of the work of the Clinical Trial which its really to find the right people, which is a huge problem in health care because you have to focus people out and patience i taken that on themselves.

According to the New York Times he warned a friend about the probe backing 2009. Capital pleaded guilty to Insider Trading and agreed to pay 1. 2 billion dollars in penalty.

We live. Correction. Or valence correction tonight at midnight on the deadline for americans to sign up for the program through the exchange and to be guaranteed coverage. Cost seems to dominate the debate on health care, our next guest is focused on innovation within the industry. The founder and ceo of Influential Marketing Group and a marketing professor at Georgetown University and also 2015thor of epatient would you say is the idea of empowered patients. Empowering ourselves to access and control the costs of these things. Most of the debate about health care right now is literally about the cost, who pays. Our group tried to take a bigger view, saying if the future is just about who pays for it, we are all in trouble. Its got to be more than that. We talk about the future of technology and we talk about new innovations and ideas and health care seems to always be about politics and costs. We do not feel like it told the whole story. What is the biggest trend in this area . The fact that we go on to a site like web m. D. And look up symptoms and try to find our own dr. That matches those . One of the trends we talk about in the report is something taking care hacking the idea of hacking which is familiar to people and technology, applying it to health care and using it to describe the phenomenon of patients and, yes, finding out their own information but also finding their own doctors and solutions and advocating their own patient support networks. All of these are signs that patients are figuring out the system to get better care and also to save money. The oldest and sickest group that need to do with the most are the ones least capable of doing it because of their discomfort, perhaps, with technology and the shift to doing everything online. How do we help that group . It is funny beard we tend to assume the older people are not on the internet, yet all the fast aswe look at group on facebook, people over 50. Fastestgrowing people hitting their health care . Get theiressarily to health care but to get the information to make it better. That is really what the trend is. Ultimately you ask people if you read blogs, they say no, you asked them if they read an article online, they say yes. They dont realize it is a blog but we put the terms on these. Isnt doing triage in a successful way will we get healthier as a result . First of all, we try to look beyond the u. S. One of the benefits is you get more chances for optimism because you see what is happening in other places. The u. S. Has been so far down the list when it comes to health care metrics in so many key areas. You dont see it changing as a result of renovating our approach . In theill not change very shortterm. We put the tagline of 2015 because we wanted to look at the future but not the far future, because that is almost impossible to predict. But if you look at the next 18 months you can see what is happening now and what is going to happen. That is the lens we want to put on it. Inwhat is the medical space 2015 . How am i as a patient going to review relate to medicine . Things, it will creep into the parts of your life. One of the trends, augmentin attrition, the idea that, sure, you have the nutrition label on everything you buy but one thing you get you hold your phone up and all of a sudden it unlocks all this information about what this product will do to me, how was it manufactured, what chemicals are in it . This information that can ultimately make us healthier. And online mother youre not really going to eat that. I have something i wear all the time it is incredible. So exciting. Behaviord my dramatically. I take taxis less, i walked more. I try to sleep more. I am more aware of how little i sleep. I love the fit bit it is a breakthrough. Funny, another trend, all hadt this idea that people too much data. Too much data that we would have to sift through. Kirkpatrick, our guestbook for the hour. Much more coming up. 879 millionyou , how much American Airlines collected baggage fees. This is bloomberg surveillance. Im scarlet fu with Michael Mckay and Stephanie Ruhle. Tom keene is also for this holiday shortened week. Ashton knocks are 25 minutes into a spacewalk and i doing it are 25ow astronauts minutes into a stakes walk. The first spacewalk to fix the pump saturday lasted five and a half hours until a small spacesuit problem forced them to stop. If all goes well, nasa expects them to finish the job with this spacewalk. I cant get George Clooney out of my mind, though. [laughter] zach ember peter or g the Government Satisfaction is high is that nasa. It is super cool. Wouldnt you love to work at nasa . Also not a big part of the government anymore. Fairly small compared to, say, department of commerce. That is superlse cool and actually said today the final and last of the 12th day of bloombergs 12 days of bitcoin. We thoroughly enjoy and watching our own learn about and spend the Digital Currency over the long last two weeks. On his journey he bought everything from pizza to groceries and beer at a bitcoin bar in brooklyn. Little bit of bitcoin money he had left, our own matt ventured back to the streets of manhattan to see if he could buy a Christmas Tree. You take bitcoin . Yes, we do. This is the second year last year nobody heard of it yet so nobody bought a tree. Into bitcoin in early 2010 and i have been in the busiest ever since. Lets see what youve got. This tree is a douglas fir emma which is less expensive as the fraser for but not as nice. The big one is the trophy. Will feed and a few inches. 12 feet and a few inches. This is what we decided on. The 12 footer may be an absolute pain in the to transport. Sendingt transaction. Donesville. Now mine says received. There we go. Back from the is streets of manhattan. He joins us now. I braved the streets of manhattan. How tall is this little pup . I do not measure i guess three feet. That is not three feet it is not a chair out Charlie Brown tree, but how much was it . Tree was 40, the stand was tense i told henry,0. 08 bitcoins. The funny thing about henry and they had the Christmas Tree corner 26 years in a row he takes bitcoin directly. For merchants take bitcoin stuff, they dont ever see a bitcoin. If you buy a tesla or dealer sees the dollars because a third party that steps in to help the transaction goes smoothly. Henry romp hang takes untold bitcoin and keeps it. He is a bitcoin enthusiast but did he give a picture how many others are buying the trees with bitcoin . I was the fourth person this year to buy a tree from henry using bitcoin. And you heard him say last year nobody had heard of it did you get a discount . No, actually. He knew we were a Big Television operation. You should have gotten a discount for days before christmas. I wonder what it does for him . It is anause he thinks investment and he wants to accumulate them so he can hold them . Things. Number one, he thinks of it as an investment. He has been doing bitcoin for a few years. Last year he got 35 bitcoin. I dont know what else he is selling. Is and heng wanted to remain fairly conservative about this, but he has issues with the Federal Reserve on principle. This guy conservative charging 500 bucks for a tree . Supposed to trust debasing currency like it is their job undeniably. A political statement in part from him. I think he just does not trust the central bank. He thinks they are robbing everyone through inflation. Henry made a great point to me so many people think bitcoin is just for buying drugs and getting hitmen beers and pizza i wanted to point out on my last day of bitcoin so many pointed out that there is a Great Charity that is able to feed thousands of Homeless People a week. Victorias secret takes bitcoin. There you go. You should head over there. Michael, we need to get to a data check. I dont have a bitcoin quote for the day yet, but we do have the marketing little but lower as we had to the open. This is bloomberg surveillance on bloomberg television, radio, streaming on your tablet and smartphone and bloomberg. Com. Im scarlet fu. We have Michael Mckee and Stephanie Ruhle with me and tom keene is off for the week. Our guest host, David Kirkpatrick, bloomberg contributing editor. Airlines ringing in the new year with more fees and less legroom. Virgin atlantic charging passengers to preselect a seat and united doubling the fees on oversize bags and spirit increasing bag fees, on top of the 880 million baggage charges ticket changeon excesses they collect the last quarter. What you are squished to think about when you are squished up against your seatmate because between seats are down about a 10th sense the 1990s. Helaine becker joins us, managing director and Senior Research analyst at how one and company cowan and company. These annoyinged charges, saying and allows them to keep fares low. The numbers very now, is it really the case . Well, the costs are going up so fares are going up. They are not going up as much as they would have if they did not have the ancillary fees to offset. Yet we are all paying the ancillary fees, so it is really a disguised way of paying for it. When does it become too much . Hitting me you are with so many fees, i dont care about the low fare so i understand it. The think as long as airlines are being transparent for what they are charging you for, it is not as onerous as you think. Most people, because they either have the Airlines Credit card or they have status, they dont pay the fees. They may pay a second checked bag fee but you probably dont need to bring all of that stuff with you anyway. Best Business Class, such a contrast to coach class. Amenities, extra legroom. I wonder if the Business Class experience will keep improvement improving as they pump money into this valuable group or did a look at them as a cash cow to squeeze more out of them . You are already paying so much. There is such a differential between coach and Business Class that it is hard to keep pushing those costs up. To doat the Airlines Want is change your behavior. Those 200 change fees for changing a ticket, a lot of times it is more than what you would have paid for the ticket to begin with. Bookif you wait longer to your ticket, you are going to pay a higher fare. If you pay a higher fare, you often dont have the change fees. Alternatively, is there any airline you know of trying to compete on a Better Customer Service and experience in coach . Jetblue kind of does this i was going to say, nobody really delivers a great product and coach to be better, to be more friendly it is not about the experience anymore. It is really about getting on the plane, getting to where you are going in a timely fashion. What people are willing to pay for is reliability and timeliness. I think that is key. Spirit airlines charges people for carryon luggage but is it the worst offender in fees . They are. Think the carryon bag fee and overhead bin works for an airline like spirit or allegiant but i am not come in stable work for united i think at that point the government steps in and says enough is enough for the charging. Back onry to bring you the plane or you could charge not to bring it on the plane. Now that people dont want to pay, everyone and their brother is jamming every piece of luggage on the plane and it is causing flights to leave the late. The further development, the infamous standing seats, is that going to happen based on what you sent . I dont think so. I think the faa has put a stop for charging using the restroom and letting people stand up on plane. No one can ever be transferred using a restroom on a plane among because i dont want anyone to not use it. The seats dont recline anymore. A lot of seats dont recline. It is ok. You dont really need the person back in your knees and everybody is uncomfortable and there are fights. But you want to sleep on the other hand and you need to recline for that david needs to recline a little bit. You can pay for Business Class. Becker fromcowan and company, happy Holiday Season.

The last time i was in china was just before an upcoming apple iphone release, and the first question the person asked me registering in my hotel was what that i think would be in the new iphone. His people remain upset. It is a very high quality well respected product. The low end estimates are 15 million shares of new iphones in 2014 come as i think it will be great for apple and i think apple stock will slowly continue creep up, possibly not what about the lowcost chinese handset makers . I think cap fantastic company will continue to thrive. It is a crowd sourced design for mobile phones. It is based on android, but it is very cool. Apple doesnt mean not have a great opportunity in china. There is a huge difference still in the User Experience between iphones and android phones, in my experience. I still think the interface is better. I think a lot of people still prefer it and it is a higher status product. In china, status matters very much. In terms of apple, do they have a counterfeiting problem in china . Cannot do but you successfully counterfeited iphone. But there are fake iphones out there. Arees a lot of things that made to look like an iphone that are not a faux iphone. They bootlegged my book there. There was a pdf of the english version. But it was also published in china very successfully. What about apple and the Technology Front in 2014 . Do you think there is a new innovative product we should be focused on .

Stephanie, what is on your agenda . This is a near and dear to me , including my husband. Canr dog a network that lead to 22yearold grad to a sixfigure job on wall street. Women dont have a shot at this connection. Bloomberg spoke to three dozen Fraternity Members that tell us wall street alumni make sure the applications get to the top of the heap. Frat guys get tutored on interviews and the best way to answer questions. Frat alumni at wall streets biggest banks say they are often trips. Campus recruiting i applaud the fact that there is a network, that they are reaching out to help one another. I can only hope we can see the anna edwards why now so it is not just any guy q4 sororities, why not . Notnfortunately we are seeing another woman interested in wall street. There have been huge strides made and if you look at what wall street firms are doing, they are targeting schools like smith and vassar and seeing women who are freshmen and sophomores to educate them on the industry. What men have in their corner, there are so many lacrosse dudes and frat guys in the business that reach out to guys that are younger there is an idea you have to see it to be it. When you see guys 20 years older than you are in the business they help you. We need to see more women in it and then the younger women want to be pi gma winner seemse big to be game consoles.
