Transcripts For CNBC Closing Bell 20160405

And twitter scoring a major streaming deal with the nfl for thursday night games but julia reports the nfl did not sell to the highest bidder. Perhaps it has something to do with twitters cfo formerly being the cfo of the nfl. Well see. Well have the details coming up. Tonight a crucial primary in wisconsin as you know where front runners donald trump and Hillary Clinton could see big losses. Which candidate could have the most positive impact on business, we have john paul joining us to talk about that among many things with john paul. Were looking forward to that conversation here. You wont want to miss this conversation, a former bailout czar now taking aim at the big banks. Im the guy who bailed out the banks. Remember that . The 700 billion t. A. R. P. Program. I was the person put in charge of that program. We remember, Neel Kashkari, why he making a public push on too big to fail banks. He only took over the minneapolis fed january 1 stt and already making waves in the month of march. That will be an interesting conversation. Lets start with the losses across wall street. Joining us today, Quincy Crosby from Prudential Financial and stephen gilfoil and Rick Santelli from chicago. The weakness today, do we attribute it to oil now that the oil well explosion in iraq. What do you make of this weakness in equities today . We came in weak this morning based on Christine Lagardes loose lips, she took a shot she said everything you knew already, low inflation, low growth, basically everything that we knew about the economy and the Global Economy she pretty much spit out and set the table for maybe a reduction in imf forecast going forward. Thats why we came in weak. Since that we traded technically, three times now. You know what happens when we hit something three times, door opens and we go the other way. So far it looks like well take a shot at 2015 before the close. Quincy, sarge mentioned comments from Christine Lagarde with the move in the yen overnight and data at home which is positive. How excited can you get about the fundamentals of the u. S. Compa economy with you have to keep one eye on weakness . Absolutely. Even after we got our date take, which is better than expected. You saw the futures market push out the first said rate hike and saw the 10year yields are down. So that was basically saying, growth is slow and chugging along barely. We have to wait to get more data points certainly. Rick, on that 10year, 171 at one time today, i saw 172. Whats going on with treasuries today . Ill give you one answer. Bunds. There was a lot of data that wasnt very good. And i think the imf might have been with that as sarge referenced. If you look at jgb in japan and german curve in europe, these are important and reminds me of the last time we were talking about these when bund yields moved down to 07. I think theres a lot of that going on today. We traded down the 08 basis points, nine basis points. I think the inversion conversation, we know how the aftermarket acted yesterday. I think sarge is right it kept equities down. Cuba tries to keep their people inside cuba. Now the United States is keeping business in the u. S. Is it a good thing . Tax selections will go up because the forcing companies to be less profitable . Its a travesty. That they can cherry pick within the Corporate Tax structure which is just a mass. Its a rubic mess and this is what they come up with and think its good and try to embarrass companies to follow in the knuckle head rules that they created . Im surprised that market isnt down more. Well talk more about inversion with meg tirrell. Do you think well see the 10year bund go to zero . Will we get there . I think its highly possible. On this floor many traders ask me, are we going to test those all time low yields at 138. My answer is always the same. If bunds test zero, anything is possible and i do think mario draghi, thinking hes fixing things will create lower rates which will result in worse banking profits which will result in more negative rates. They arent fixing, they are breaking. Sarge, i told you rick would bring up the 10year bund today, right . I would like to know if the 10year bund is going to test zero. Does the 10year u. S. Bond test 1. 2 or 1. 3 or something crazy like that . You have money pouring into the u. S. Looking for yields. What did you say . You have money that needs to go into a safe place, pension fund, our yield looks good even if it comes down to 1 ht 3, it looks attractive to what japan has to deal with and europe has to deal with. It doesnt look so attractive to put money into an asset where the price is going to go down and yields will go up. Weve been talking about the fact that yields are going to eventually go up for years at this point. What if by the time you put money into the bonds it finally happens. You saw germany offer a fiveyear with negative yields and they were lining up to get that money. What is it . 50 to 60 of global debt has a negative next to it and money goes into it. Whats happening is this Central Banks are literally changing the face of investing changing the way capitalism looks. Its truly were getting used to it. Thats the problem. We better get unused to it because at some point fund amountles will matter and well go through an unwind. Yes, go quincy. I knew you would be cheering that one. Thats the end of the debt super cycle when that happens. Well reconvene when that does happen, rick and sarge. See you in 20 years. Lets talk about the treasuries. New steps to crack down on tax saving foreign inversion. This move has put pfizers 160 billion takeover of allergan in jeopardy with pfizer thinking of abandoning that deal all together. President obama spoke about the new rules earlier at the white house. Ive been pushing for years to eliminate some of the injustices in our tax system. Im very pleased that the Treasury Department has taken new action to prevent more corporations from taking advantage of one of the most insidious tax loopholes out there and fleeing the country to get out of paying taxes. That was from earlier today, the president speaking at the white house on inversion. Meg tirrell join us for more. I know youve been following this pfizer allergan deal. 160 billion deal after treasury and the white house had been so critical of these inversions and some level was this not just taunting washington to come out with something new. How did they not expect that would happen . A lot of people ask that question, how can they go through with this and not expect anything to come of it . You saw a big spread in the deal before this. I can say everybody has really been very surprised at these deals that came out and rules that came out last night. This is the third time treasury has issued guidelines on inversions and while president obama said today they are designed to make inversions more difficult but only tax reform can actually eliminate conversion. It looks like they could make the deal not happen. And a lot of people are say gs, these rules actually specifically target pfizer allergan by looking at the size of allergan and saying it cant count two of the last big acquisitions in accounting for its size. Therefore pfizer buying it, allergan isnt big enough to count as an inversion. And therefore would be too small of a company for pfizer to be considered inverting and to make sense under the new rules folks think this one might shall dead. Youve been reporting analysts have been putting out notes about allergan and pfizer. Jim cramer said maybe now allergan becomes a quis tif. Too early to talk about what these Companies Look like once this deal is out of the picture . No, were getting analysts notes, one looking at the pricing dynamics in botox. People are going back to the fund amountals on these. Allergan is expected to close that deal pretty soon, 40 billion in proceeds. And they already completed their inversion so theyve got the more favorable tax break. Do you think this deal with allergan pfizer is the camel that broke the straw that broke the camels back. If so, are there other companies rethinking the possibility of merging if theres a tax inversion involved . Thanks for having me. As i look through the regulations last night, yeah, i would say treasury and irs seem to be targeting these two companies as meg mentioned with this threeyear look back. They wouldnt qualify for inversion rules as they stand today. It was real targeted. I think some people would say the rules were in overreach because even though they are temporary, they are the rule of the law for next three years for any deal closed after april the 4th which was yesterday. Im curious though we talked so much about the deals affected by this and there has been a lot of deals where the companies have had to specified purpose of relocating their headquarters for doing a deal and a lot of Big Companies that get revenue in the u. S. And use these complicated tax structures to channel those earnings into oir subsidiaries and these rules take aim at those too. Im wondering if there are maybe other companies that might be hit on the bottom line by this that didnt necessarily do a deal to get there . Agreed. Youre going to be looking at multinationals impacted by these rules. Whats interesting here is that the other rules that came out on inversions from the treasury were around the edges and watered down whereas this one actually with the inversion language does impact allergan and pfizer. The reaction i would say in washington since the rules came out last night, its relatively new but youve got republicans are saying, hey, we cannot address this issue piecemeal. We need to do comprehensive tax reform which we know wont happen until the new president and you have democrats and schumer and durbin who said this is a great step forward. You cant really take this one issue and look at it in a silo. Otherwise you might have unintended consequences with the other multinationals. Before we go, meg, weve all just been focusing on the tax implications, was there a strategic reason for allergan and pfizer . Whats going to be lost there . Well, they like to say the deal wasnt all about taxes but my reporting tells me they wonts do it if they couldnt invert. For that purpose, that is the main thing. Allergan has a lot of great assets, weve done a lot of joint interviews. It doesnt look like they are going to be partners at least in this sway in the future. Yeah, thats clearly what it was all about. Thank you both. Good to see you. Thanks for joining us today. Appreciate it. A news alerts on donald trump and ford. What do they have in common . I know what it is. Phil lebeau. Its only took four hours since ford announced it will build a new auto plant in mexico, creating 2800 jobs in mexico. And now donald trump has responded. Remember for weeks if not months he has been blasting ford over the possibility of moving a plant to mexico. He says this transaction is an absolute disgrace. Our dishonest politicians and special interest that control them are laughing in the face of all american citizens. These ridiculous job crushing transactions will not happen when im president. By the way, earlier today when i talked with the president of the ford of americas who really is in charge of manufacturing in north and central and south america for ford, i asked him, do you have any thoughts about how donald trump will react to this . He didnt take the bait. Ford is trying to stay away from this debate with donald trump but clearly he is seizing on the fact that ford has gone ahead as many have expected and will build a new small car plant in mexico and blasting ford. For this part for now ford will not react to what donald trump is saying. I did hear an interview that a ford official gave elsewhere, his rationale was we havent built a factory in mexico for 30 years. Which shows commitment to the United States. I dont know if that passes the smell test, do you think . A couple of thinks to keep in mind when it comes to the plant in mexico. Mexico has more trade agreements with more countries than almost any other country around. More than the United States. You cannot build a car in the United States and ship it to brazil, which is a growing auto markets. You can build a small car in mexico and ship it to brazil, not just brazil but lots of other countries as well. When you look at the economics of building a small car, its hard to turn a profit on one with high wages and other costs in the u. S. You can do that in mexico and by the way, they are not moving a plant to mexico, they are simply building a new plant there. I know the uaw is saying put it here, create jobs here, but we also want to be clear here, they are not novembmoving a plant do mexico. Thanks very much. 44 minutes left in the trading session and the dow was down 100 plus points. A down day to continue this week. But the financials are struggling. They have been all day. Well have minneapolis fed president Neel Kashkari, why hes making such a public show of sentiment. Twitter beats amazon and verizon and facebook to live stream thursday night games next season. Why the nfl did not sell to the highest bigger in this deal. Youre watching cnbc, first in business worldwide. And that a tired dog is a good dog. [ dog barking, crashing ] so when you need a dog walker or a handyman, we can help you get the job done right, guaranteed. Get started today at angies list. Minneapolis Federal Reserve president Neel Kashkari is calling for the break up of big banks. I think too big to fail is still a problem. I wish dodd frank, ill put that aside. His predecessor was very big on too big to fail. We worked together prior to the crisis. There is a long tradition for minneapolis fed on this issue. Neel kashkari joins us now. Take a moment to respond to what sheila bair had to say why youre choosing right now to be so voekle on an issue that has been at work in washington for eight years . Well, thanks for having me, in 2011, just after dodd frank was passed, i gave a speech at the chicago fed and expressed some of my concerns that i thought dodd frank did a lot of good but doesnt solve the too big to fail problem. I ran for office now during the minneapolis fed and been able to work with the experts here in minneapolis to look at whats been accomplished with dodd frank and whats left remaining. More than anything, i dont want the American People to have a false sense of security that we addressed too big to fail that this cant happen again. I think some of those risks remain and we need to consider more Transformational Solutions to deal with this problem once and for all. Im going to come off as a cynical journalist by asking this but dont mean it in a confrontational way. Why are you using the bully pulpit of the minneapolis fed to further this cause . It is a tradition, gary stern was big on this as sheila bair mentioned, but theres no authority. You carry no authority. Theres no regulation you could come up with that would do anything about this. All youre doing is just jaw boning around the country to talk about this issue that theyve been dealing with in washington for eight years. Why now . If im not going to speak up, whos going to do it . Do you think its okay if congress and American People are left with a false sense of security that it cant happen 20 or 50 years ago, may not be back in the same situation. You dont think dodd frank is gone far enough, that the Capital Requirements in place now and some of the other regulations that by the way people like jamie dimon, theyve often called dodd frank, dodd frankenstein, fed up with regulations they have to deal with. You dont think its gone far enough . For the biggest banks no i dont. Dodd frank has done good. Stress testing, these are all steps in the right direction. I absolutely acknowledge that the question is in a stressed economic environment like a crisis when multiple banks are running into trouble at the same time, will we be able to hair cut bond holders and creditors . I say the answer is no. The reason is the con tagion from one bank to another bank to another bank. No one has figured out how to solve t dodd frank hasnt done it. We see it in europe with the contingent conversion debt. Those contingent conversion securities havent added to stability. Theyve added to instability and uncertainty. We need to be honest about that. Do you think the system really would be more secure if you broke up the banks and gave the fed and u. S. Economy three or more new investment banks that they would have to hold capital against and would still have inherent risk in the Business Model but not cushioned by other Business Units . Would that be the ideal outcome for you for the economy . We havent decided what the ideal structure looks like. What im saying it and we in minneapolis are saying, a bunch of these Transformational Solutions were taken off the table in 2010. They are too bold coming out of the crisis. Now is the time to reflect on the last seven or eight years. What have we learned and what progress has been made . Breaking up banks and one of the options we looked add yet, profess area johnson m. I. T. Talked about it and increasing Capital Requirements so banks are so strong they cant fail. You can never eliminate all risk. I dont think we would want to but we can go further than weve gone today. Its all about cost benefit analysis. Wheres the optimal safety versus cost versus risk for the economy and for the country . So youre acknowledging that a review has to be done and is about to be done but some of the criticism especially from tony fratto, he said that the issue is that youre beginning a review not with questions but conclusion. Is that fair . Well, first of all, i love him, we worked together at treasury and he is the ultimate Bank Lobbyist who fights for his clients. I have nothing but respect for him in that capacity. I dont so. We live streamed our symposium yesterday, oppress, open to the public to participate. Vibrant discussion. All sides were represented and we brought a lot of issues forward. I would encourage you and your colleagues at krxts nbc and public to watch us and pay close attention. Youll see how deep we go into this and that will shape our conclusions, nothing else. What would you like to see happen then . Especially when you consider your own boss, janet yellen, when she was asked about the progress of dodd frank and Bank Regulations said she felt like they had made progress. It sounded some interpret that as a little pushback to you for making the noise you have since you took over at minneapolis. 100 years ago when congress created the Federal Reserve system by design, they created a distributed Federal Reserve representing the nation to encourage a diversity of views. I think its a good thing we had a diversity of views so were inviting all of our colleagues who want to participate to participate. Were listening to all views, were going to come out with our best analysis, our best recommendation going forward. At the end of the day its up to the American People to decide, do we have the right balance of safety versus cost versus risk . I want to make sure the American People are as informed and educated as possible so that they know representatives can make the best decision. Its not up to us or me to make that decision. I think its up to the people. Thats why were running a very public transparent process so they have the best information possible. All right, very good. Good to see you again. Thank you for your time. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Neel kashkari, president of the minneapolis fed. Lightning rod all across the country. A half hour before the closing bell. Major averages still in negative territory for the second day in a row. Coming up, we have a guest who says apple is a hot value play. Hell explain why coming up. New details on why twitter won the battle to stream thursday night games beating out verizon and amazon. Welcome back, valeant trading higher by about 10 . A Board Committee review of the companys Accounting Practices did not find new items that would require additional restatements. Remember last month valeant said the panel looking into the ties to the distributor found accounting problems dating back to december of 2014. Valeant said its on track to file a report on or before april 29th. And we did see a little bit of a move higher just about half an hour ago when there were some headlines about its interaction back and forth with its lenders to try and obtain the default waiver. Well keep you posted. A few more concessions. Twitter as we reported yesterday won the rights to live stream thursday night nfl games. Julia borsten looks at the potential to turn around twitters fortunes. You have to explain what the rights are for because we cant agree. They are not exclusive and they are for streaming. Twitter and nfl are hoping this streaming Video Partnership will be a winwin. The nfl did not go with the highest bidder but chose twitter because they believed it would help reach engagement and consumption of the nfl games outside of television. Twitter hopes that simultaneously streaming ten thursday night nfl games as they also air on nbc or cbs without requiring consumers to sign in will help grow this audience of logged in users which has been stalling for twitter around 300 million. Also hoping this could help the money make more money for additional 500 million users who see tweets without logging in. Twitter cfo anthony nodo who used to be ceo of nfl, says they believe this will help the nfl reach a younger audience. Neither company would disclose the value of the deal. One source ses says just less of 15 million and others close to the deal saying twitter is paying far less than the 20 million that i canyahoo paid t stream one game last year. These thursday night games will also air on tv and theyll sell 15 of the 70 ads it streams in total in each game. Julia, they will be getting ad revenues from these games but theyll have to build infrastructure to host something that that many people will probably want to watch online. Im wondering what the sense is for how much work twitter will have to do to get ready for that . Live streaming is a big deal. Twitter on periscope, will be using it for behind the scenes action but that the Live Streaming of this game certainly to millions of people which the nfc prepared for massive audiences will be on at which timer itself. They wouldnt reveal the deals of the technology or what that system is going to be like but it does seem like they have some groundwork in place and many months before the nfl season starts. Certainly they need to make sure that the streaming is seamless. Julia, thanks. Julia borsten in los angeles. We have a little less than 30 minutes left in the trading session. The dow is down an even 100 points. We have a leading trader also coming up to tell us what hes watching into the close next. Also coming up, billionaire entrepreneur, cofounder of Paul Mitchell and petrone Spirits Company will weigh in on which he thinks are best for business. [bassist] two late nights in tucson. Blew an amp. But good nights. Sure,musics why we do this,but its still our business. We spend days booking gigs, then weve gotta put in the miles to get there. But its not without its perks. Like seeing our album sales go through the roof enough to finally start paying megs little brother i mean,our new tour managerwith real,actual money. We run on quickbooks. Thats how we own it. It begins from the the second were born. Er. Because, healthier doesnt happen all by itself. It needs to be earned every day. Using wellness to keep away illness. And believing a single life can be made better by millions of others. As a Health Services and Innovation Company optum powers modern healthcare by connecting every part of it. So while the world keeps searching for healthier were here to make healthier happen. Its president ial primary day in wisconsin. Voters turning out at the polls, American Business trying to settle on a candidate at this point. We want to talk about that among other things. We head out to the iconic conference in seattle, washington, where were joined by Paul Mitchell cofounder the great billionaire entrepreneur john paul dejoria. Thank you, i love you out there. Who doesnt love pit roen. Did you settle on who you feel might be best for the white house or would any matter that much in the scheme of things . That is such a good question. You look at donald trump and hes a businessman. The majority of people do not like his demeanor and look at ted cruz, probably the one to get the most done and Bernie Sanders who is probably one of the most liked and believed guys but his way of doing business unfortunately probably would bankrupt the company and not be good for business. Between now and i think election, a lot of candidates will start really looking at what would be not only good for business but good for all of the people in the United States and start addressing that more as a major issue. A lot of people arent addressing that right now. Well start seeing that happen. What do you feel should be the central issue on the economy in this election weve had everything from wages to wall street and trade and eventually a trade war flown around. Im wondering, why you think there has been this disburgs among whats important to people in the economy this year . Great question again. Different statistical data to different people run for office and they are saying what they think the people they are targeting want to hear. What very few people are going after in a big way, we have a deficit, were in debt electricals of tlarz and going to be in debt electricals of dollars more. The main focus which is good for all america, business, everybody, how do we get rid of that debt . Whether its Paul Mitchell or the new rock mobile ive star d started, were heavily debt but it affects the business and affects the United States and everybody. Youve got to raise more taxes. I think thats one of the biggest issues they should address. They are addressing it but not enough. They want to stay away in that one dont want to cut anything and say no we want to do this and spend more money. That i think is one of the biggest issues to benefit all of america. We know how many jobs are created by Small Business and entrepreneurs like you. What could the government do to make it easier to create a business in the economy right now . What would be the couple things i would want to see them do . Whether youre republican or democrat or independent, get rid of extra regulations that are stopping people from starting new jobs as entrepreneurs. Ill give you an example. Ma the jort of the United States, more than 50 of all states, to be a kid or anybody to have a lemonade stand, you have to get a permit and license. Kids dont even do that. In austin, texas, if people didnt have money, they would sell trinkets or flowers by the side of the road. Then you had to get a permit for 700 or 800, now they are panhandling. People are getting overregulated and overtaxed and its preventing people from taking care of themselves. Lets look at that reality and help people help themselves and not kill them with overregulations, all of America Needs no money or a bunch of money, makes no difference, youre hurting people especially the little guy. Dont do that, whether republican or democrat. The democrats im not going to single out them, im singling out everybody. It takes everybody to pass those laws, with all due respect, both parties have to do more to help everybody out, especially the little guy. We have loved getting to know you across the cnbc platforms, to coming on shows like closing bell but i hear were going to know your daughter on secret lives of the super rich tomorrow and there is reportedly a scene where you try to talk her out of getting tattoos or have her tattoos removed.

Were heading into the most important half hour of the trading day and joining us now tim anderson from tgi investment. Is this your traditional april exhale . We had a strong rally to the end of the quarter last thursday. I think its natural we have a little pullback, the biggest concern is the transportation average, its going to be down nine of the last 11 days after today. And probably close below its 200day moving average for the first time in two and a half to three weeks. What happens when that decouples with the broader equity market. The dow Jones Transport has been clearly the best leading indicator of the overall market for probably the last year and a half. It peak out in late december of 2014, wept down all of 2015 and it actually bottomed in january 20th this year. Now it rallied about a little over 20 until about two weeks ago. If it would have slipped and maybe back down to 7500 or 7200, id be concerned maybe some of the other averages are going to follow suit later in the quarter. Anything you would buy with 15 minutes left in the trading day . You know, i think that i would probably focus on the more defensive stocks right now. Away from some of the stocks that had the biggest moves off the lows in february. Popular trade for sure. We appreciate it. Sure. Tim anderson from tgi. Back to you.

Red flags are flapping around the apartment rental apartment as vacancies continue to rise. Here are the details of whether we could have a forthcoming glut. Diana . Were actually already there on high end of the market. Luxury New Buildings like this one, 94 occupied but more apartments just keep going up. New construction during the First Quarter reached the highest q1 total since 1999. Over the last 12 months just over 200,000 new units were completed and that has banks lend to the market worried. They are pulling back on construction loans. That should ease rent on the high end some but its still twice the historical norms. Annual growth with 4. 5 . There was a noticeable drop from the 5 annual gains in the previous quaerter and vacancies have been rising for three straight quarters, its not a fluke. Its a pattern. Thats why the red flags and these numbers. Most of the Construction Since the recession has been in pricey high amenity buildings not in affordable units where the rent is high. Those struggling the most will get no relief. Bill and kayla . All right, diana, thank you very much.

Joining us on the floor of the new york stock exchange, you see apple as a value play now, do you . It is. In june to the correction in january, it was down 35 . And as a value manager. Im looking at the stock that has ten times forward earnings where youre going to get that . That is a value stock. 47 Profit Margins and 47 return on equity. And you know, people forget that they are looking too much at iphone sales. They are looking at last years year over year sales but the previous years when they introduced it in china. That was a once in generation event. Once you buy an iphone, you have to buy one every three years in order to keep up. Credit suisse just yesterday issued one of their reports saying they thought it would be up 150 by the end of this year. Thats 345 over the closing of yesterday. And so you know, this is a great stock to own right now and value investor, i never get to invest in the stock different from other value plays because if you gave an investor the specifics that you were just talking about that you didnt tell them what company you were talking about or name the product, they probably would agree its why dont investors give apple the benefit of the doubt . Brought up in the Credit Suisse report, people are looking at iphone the decline in iphone sales because last year we were seeing the result of that massive increase in sales because it was just introduced in china. And so thats not the way to look at it. Im looking at services, Apple Services like the iphone or the itunes, music services, up 26 last month. In four years its going to be double and 40 profit margin. You get into the apple eco system, once you get into that system, you never want to get out because you want to commit suicide in order to get all of your itunes and Everything Else transferred to a pc. You sound convinced for sure. Good to see you, thanks again. Well take a break and come back with the closing countdown. And the second hour of the closing bell. E trade is all about seizing opportunity. And id like to. Cut. So im gonna take this opportunity to direct. Thank you, well call you. Evening, film noir, smoke, atmosphere. Bob. Youre a young farmhand and e trade is your cow. Milk it. E trade is all about seizing opportunity. Weve got about 90 seconds left on the trading session. Bob pisani jointing us for countdown. Well be finishing it looks lie at the lows for the session. If you need any more evidence that oil and stocks have come up for a short time, today is a good example of that especially after word got out of the potential explosion at an oil well in iraq. That really pushed wti up there but it was turning positive anyway. There it is. It did not take stocks with it for sure. The big loser today allergan with a government taking aim at tax inversions and deals with the pfizer allergan deal may be in jeopardy and that stock down sharply, down 16 . We have the same issues today we had in january. Christine lagarde warning about slow growth. And we had weak german economic data. We had some strong yen over in japan. A lot of issues that a couple of months ago the dow would have been down 315 or 400 points. We were down in january and february. The difference this time, yellen the upside to the market right now but down several a lot more. Were off the low but still down 135 on the dow. Women in the world ringing the bell and 2016 forum. Stay tuned for a second hour of closing bell. Welcome to the closing bell. Bill griffeth will be joining us in just a moment. Heres how were finishing the day on wall street. The dow and s p both for the third and fourth session. Seeing the biggest loss since february 23rd and s p since march eighth. All s p sectors are lower and financial down 1. 5 . Utility down 2 despite the fact the global bond yield are falling across the world today. We have a big hour coming up, former vice chairman and General Electric and Nbc Universal join wright will join us about disneys shakeup. With us for the hour, cnbc columnist mike santoli and more on todays market action, tim seymour. Lets start with you. If you look at the dynamics driving this, out of europe not that bad, around 53. 1, 53. 4 was expected. I dont think thats reason to be pushing the data out of japan continues to be worse. I think its first of all the political resolve on the european continent that ever in question. Thats why european banks are coming under more pressure. As you peel back the most fundamental issues, uk refer endumb, all of the xeno phobia that continues, you wonder if they have the type of solidarity to do the things they need to do. Japan is suddenly people are questioning whether abenomics is working, you may have a referendum back in july. More risk over the Global Economy than you do here. The question is whether we fall through here or u. S. Continues to be a safe haven trade. The u. S. Has gotten to a point where we were blindly rallying into quarter ends and rationally people need to assess where we are with this going into earnings season. Weve seen huge flies in the financial, yields have something to do with that. How much of an effect will the fact that every inversion is now pencilled down, those are huge for the bank. Certainly some kind of positive catalyst for various secretary tors, the Chilling Effect that comes from the message that it is putting out there that we dont like the Financial Engineering. There comes a day after by the way too, you have that value act in terms of their role in the halliburton merger. Thats all for debate whether this is a legitimate argument whether hedge funds can do this or companies can do that in the way of mergers but it doesnt help. You mention the yields being compressed right here. The fact that treasuries have been well bid and the overseas market you mentioned with tim, kind of shows that the u. S. Stock market lost a lot of help from other macro areas around the world. The yields on the 10year bund down sharply. Rick santelli was saying, people were asking, could they go to zero . Absolutely they could go to zero. We know lots of things could go below zero. Why couldnt you have tenyear risk down to zero . That is not a risk on message, you have the yen rallying steadily. And thats usually kind of risk i think all of this boils down to excuses for a pullback in the u. S. Stock market and cant really say its game over were going back to the lows. It still looks like an orderly consolidation. Where is the demand for the sovereign bonds with ultralow yields and negative yields . People are still lining up to buy this debt. Theres a captive audience that has to buy this debt and japan, they are people talk about debt to gdp in japan, you have to effectively fund this budget deficit. I think the demand will continue to come and value trade will continue to be pushing things down. 160 on the 10year, i thought the other part of todays trading action that was interesting and related to this thread tied between commodities and dollar and Interest Rates, commodities traded pretty well today and stocks if you see a correction granted we had a actu pullback in oil. They continue to hang in there. Im i would make an argument whatever the next phase, if there is a real pullback, that you wont see the same kind of pullback in all of these more asset based valuation companies. I think they are very cheap and in many cases they have seen their bottom. Lets talk about this inversion issue that everybody is talking about. Treasury issuing new rules which could threaten pfizer and allergans merger. Heres a look at what the president ial candidates have been saying about cracking down on inversions as well. Thats right. You have been talking just now about the Market Reaction to this treasury move. But the markets have been paying attention to the political season they would know this is a very unpopular trend out there. Out on the campaign trail. If you look at what the candidates have been saying, theyve been denouncing both democrats and republicans but with a slightly different nuance, listen to Hillary Clinton last month. Heres how she talked about inversions. We should make corporations pay for these socalled inversions that they knew acted bad. [ applause ] i Want Companies to know if they walk out on america, they are going to pay a price. And if they ship jobs overseas, were going to make them give back the tax breaks they received here at home. Meanwhile, we had a reaction from donald trump when the pfizer deal was proposed. The fact that prizer is leaving our country with a tremendous loss of jobs is disgusting. Our politicians should be ashamed. But heres the nuance, when you talk to republicans about this in general, what they say is a tax inversion are a very bad thing and its congress and governments fault they are happening, not necessarily the executives because the tax code in the u. S. Is not competitive and tax rates are too high and forcing corporate gymnastics as companies have to go through these twists and turns to get headquarters overseas. When you talk to democrats, they very much blame the executives, up to and including calling them unpatriotic. If you talk about the Market Reaction in yesterdays move, weve seen treasury take steps two times before against inversions and weve seen the comments out there on the campaign trail for months. Nobody should be surprised that tax inversions are unpopular with voters and unpopular with candidates. Stay with us. We want the panel reaction. Mike santoli, this is a delicate issue. Republicans dont like the idea of sending jobs outside the United States but they also dont love the policies that are coming out of the current administration. Could this be the rare occurrence that something thats gets implemented in the final year of the Obama White House stays in place . I would argue that its much more popular with republican candidates than it might be with republicans who are governing. Once youre in d. C. , it doesnt become a hostility towards businesses dont necessarily become the coin of the realm. I do think maybe its going to be an area of agreement on the campaign trail that doesnt necessarily translate out there. This is happening with treasury rule making and theres a lot of friction. Its a process of how this is happening. Does it finally blow up to Corporate Tax debate . I kind of doubt it. I find it interesting what the response to tax aversions is not to make our tax code more amenable to corporations but to hit them with the rule change and bring them back there to pay higher taxes. Obviously these companies are trying to navigate around the obstacles that were set up to try to keep people within our tax code, right . They just try to make it higher and higher without getting really to the root cause of the tax arbitrage. Mike brings up the fact it still has to go through treasury rule making, what are the hurdles that these rules need to get through before they are actually implemented . The main one is the Obama Administration only goes for rest of the year and whoever the new president is at the end of the january, at some point a new administration will be able to look at this and impose whatever rules and regulations they want to impose. We could be looking at the temporary situation over the next several months. Very cynical there to suggest that politicians might be saying one thing on the campaign trail then doing another when they get into office. In response to bills question here about whether or not this is fair to the companies, democrats would push back and say its fair to the country, should the United States have to engage in a race to the tax bottom to places like the gou gourncy islands in panama and caym caymans, if they are going to lower tax rates to something near zero, should the United States, is it reasonable for the United States to respond to that . Who wouldnt want to go there . One thing though, the size of these deals, and prominence and the transparent explicitness with which pfizer said were looking for one of these deals, it reminds me of the yahoo spinoff off afally bab ba. All of the hedge funds chased them. What happened to the invefrters in these stocks . There you have, you have this liquidation effect. Allergan gets sold off hard. You did see other crowded stocks. Those were the big shareholders in allergan right there. Similar to valeant in the sense of a rollup of drug companies, Financial Engineering story and you saw other stocks that are heavily owned by hedge funds get hit today as well. Weve had waves of this kind of liquidation run through the market. Why are Companies Finding themselves in valeant shares . Having to pay the taxes, right . Easy, free lunch. Tim, your favorite idea in this market . Do you like gold . I think gold is going to continue to be both defensive because there is this sense that the dollar range bound and my sense. You have this negative Interest Rate environment. Technically i would make an argument gold has been tested a couple of times and then you get into the production story which is one where both companies are ahead of Oil Companies where there will be production shortfall. I continue to like the mining space. I think having said all of that, people need to think about the market and whats working. You talked about earnings yields or at least where fixed income is and dividend yields are playing a key role on investment. Stock market at 16 times with 2. 7 dividend yield isnt terrible. If people look at the alternatives, well continue to see a debate for the food company and staples and various forms of this trade that have been working so far this year. I wouldnt run too far from that trade. Very good. See you later, thanks, appreciate it. You can catch tim see more and rest of the crew on fast money at 5 00 p. M. Eastern time. Elevation partners cofounder Roger Mcnamee will join them top of the next hour. And our thanks to eamon for bringing us the inversion story. Twitter winning the race to stream thursday night nfl games. Will that turn around the struggling stock or is this a hail mary attempt at a comeback . Kinds of a buzzer beater. Sorry. Too soon.

Twitter losing early gains despite signing the deal with the nfl to stream ten thursday night Football Games next season. The soervel media giant beat out other players including facebook and amazon for those streaming rights. This morning i spoke with former ceo Evan Williams on squawk on the street and asked what he thought about the partnership. Its getting pretty exciting. It plays off of the fact that everything twitter is all about live, to watch it within twitter, a twitter integrated experience will enhance what others experience already. Tweets going along with that and i think having that more integrated is an obvious extension. Joining us now to talk about this, peter who reported on the story for recode and former ceo of media ventures, good to see you both. Thanks for joining us today. Thank you for having us. We could say maybe jack dorsey started to make traction but this is anthonys work here, cfo of the nfl, right . Its a cool deal. Not a big deal for twitter, at least financially, paying 10 million to stream ten games. This is really a tuck in for them but the idea can we do we have assets to help bring new users or old users to twitter and well find out in the fall. Chris, weve come to know twitter as a place where you go to watch short spurts of content, whether its on vine on periscope and nfl uses twitter for highlights. Can they actually convince people . Can twitter convince people that its the place to sit in front of their feed for three or four hours thats the question. On both sides of the nfl and twitter are really looking at this as an experiment and you would think, you have to fish where the fish are and theres a lot of people consuming mobile content on these platforms and this will be a greatest case to how the live aspect works from both twitter and nfl side. Chris, just to follow on that, i wonder if sports in general and nfl in particular, are almost the exception that proved the rule of whats going on with media. You have the nfl and this incredibly powerful position, parcelling out incremental set of rights to what they are doing without compromising this sort of captive audience of the games on television. Do you feel as if this is going to be truly something that enlarges the nfls pie and really no risk of them can balancizing themselves over time . I dont think so. Just because theres such a scarce amount of high quality ip like nfl games, only 256 regular season games and the fact that the nfl this is the third time they sold the ten games but sold them in a format that is different. Well see if the level of engagement where you have the one side of the screen where all of the conversation and social media is going on right alongside live video makes a difference. I think its going to be an experiment on that. Let me pursue that experiment word. We heard that the twitter didnt even have the highest bid in this case. For a fact, amazon bid more and verizon bid more as well. Isnt this just both sides kind of testing the waters to see if this thing can work . If this is a destination where people will come to watch. Theres very little downside to try this out. In the nfls scenario, they prove there are peoplehat want to watch digitally or on their phone. When the tv rights come out in item years, they can say weve got morbiders who want this stuff. The Core Networks plus apple and google. If is it doesnt work, they can go back to where they are. This is arguably the most popular content in the country. And i asked ed williams whether this would be where twitter tried to see if people were willing to start paying for premium content on twitter. He wouldnt go there but im wondering whether you think this is twitters cost alone to bear . I dont think this is a xripgs plan, this is twitter trying to bring more people in and say it is a mainstream product, cant get more monday stream than watching a Football Game on your phone. Come here and you dont have to log in. You can watch it. Once you get used to, youll want to log in and well sell advertising to you. All right, guys thank you. See how this experiment works. Peter copka joining us today. Disney shaking up, who can succeed bob iger with staggs out of the picture. Bob wright will be joining us and hell weigh in. Should the feds pay more attention to off the grid . Economic indicators like say the cheese bacon cheese burger index . Our next guest thinks so and hell explain why and well all get a bite of the cheeseburger when we come back. Falling off the diet wagon to feast on a cheeseburger cost 5. 1 less than it did a year ago. That means you can eat more burgers or according to our next guest, that the fed can hold off on hiking Interest Rates and were not kidding. The bacon cheese burger index is one of many nontraditional indicators and the man behind it is with us today. The chief Market Strategist at convergex, how many bacon cheese burgers did you have to consume . Just a few, all in the name of science. We look at cpi indicator as a baserin, bacon and cheese and beef and clear index off the data. It highlights something i call the difference between statistical inflation chrwhich what the government measures and anecdotal inflation. Go back to the 1970s when the last real bought of inflation occurred. What was that product people pointed to to say there was inflation. Ground beef and gas reen. The ground beef comes through in the bacon cheese burger index. I wonder, you talk about deflation in this measure, all of studies say individuals dont really register price decline that well. They always kind of feel the cost of living is going up and the stuff they need the most. Do you think it impacts consumer psychology when prices go down in certain areas . If you look at the new York Fed Consumer survey which janet yellen highlighted. They point to a decline in the amount of expected future inflation. In 2013, roughly 3. 4 . Now its 2. 6 . Still up but at a declining pace. It makes for a good headline but im wondering to what extent you think Something Like this is predictive in what policy makers will do. Youve got to connect the macro and microin some sensible way to understand how the two react. He we tend to look at things from a macro standpoint. Whats the headline number. That bubbles up from pieces of information and as mike pointed to, it does inform what people expect in the future. I have to imagine this is not the only piece ever anecdotal evidence you look at. What are the other off the grid indicators. Isnt there an underwear index . No underwear, pickup trucks. Bill is suggesting ideas. No, i read that somewhere. Dont give me that. The pickup truck index. Looks at the sale of large pickup trucks and its a proxy for Small Business growth and confidence. There the news is good, up 8 year over year. Even though the Energy Sector has come way off, thats been a National Consumption for pickups other areas are picking up. Overall Small Business confidence still pretty good. And the other one too, what was it . The one that we look at that we get a lot of commentary from clients, firearms background check. Prefinancial crisis were running about 8 million background checks a year. Last year we did 23 million background checks in that year. And were up 40 for the first two months of this year. So it shows that yes, people are spending money on durable goods but is that an Economic Indicator or just a social mood sort of thing or policy reaction . It feels like half social mood and we hear all about the angry voert, a real thing and the other half is you have fears of regulation and thats pushing people in. Interestingly, google searches for i want to buy a gun or down for the last three years. Youre seeing repeat buying from existing gun owners. We have to go. Kayla is dying to dig into that cheese burger. Thats your prize for joining us. Looks delicious. Thanks. Thank you for joining us today. I know that theres a mens underwear indicator out there somewhere. Time for a cnbc news update with sue herrera. Im following that . Okay. Heres the news update.

Lets get a market flash from seema modi. Falling almost 16 after releasing disappointing estimates for the third quarter. The revenues expected to be 367 million, well below the 400 to 430 million range the Lighting Company had previously estimated. The ceo says Lighting Products revenue is lower than previously targeted primarily due to lower commercial orders driven by Service Disruptions related to a system conversion and new product delays. Were looking at the stock falling after hours down about 16 . Kayla . Thanks for the update on cree. Shares of disney closing lower after news broke on the show yesterday that chief operating officer and widely known apparent staggs is leaving the company. We have a man who knows a thing or too about succession issues. Bob wright, former ge vice chair, i consider him the father of Nbc Universal. His new book is called the wright stuff and father of cnbc and whole chapter in the book. Welcome back. Its very nice, kayla, nice to see you, mike. You had success issues at nbc, tom rogers who went on to run tivo and running Discovery Communications and zucker ended up getting the job. And randy falco. Going on to univision. Im going to california this afternoon, looks like a pretty attractive job to me. Theres two years search going on what do you think bob iger will do with this now . Quite frankly i was really surprised. Bob iger has done a spectacular job. You couldnt ask for any more. When he announced he was retiring about three years ago, that he was going out at 16, it was it seemed like ive done everything i can do and want to do something else. Its there has to be something about bob wanting to stay in here and but the other hand, i dont know he has a remarkably positive report. Everybody thinks this guy is senational. Hell have no trouble getting a job. I see that theyve already entered an agreement that hes not leaving until the fall. Hell be an adviser. Right. Well have to find out. Theres a mystery here. The discussion has been around staggs laki lacking the creative quo tent and his background is in Strategic Planning and iger was in running abc. What do you think it is about running a tv network that is inherently more creative than coming from where tom staggs came from . I think he hasnt had that experience, theres nothing to say that he couldnt do a very good job doing that but 12 years as the cfo. Thats a crushing job at disney. It was all during all of this activity. He certainly knows the business in and out because all of these acquisitions took place when he was the cfo. Not to say he didnt have an opportunity to be named to run one of the more creative businesses over the years. Hes had the parks, pretty creative. Hes been involved with the shanghai project. Signed his name on the towers along with iger. Its misty fiing to me. And hes 26 years with the company. If you thought that he wasnt creative, that could have been discovered 26 years ago. As you remember when bob iger came in there he was not necessarily considered somebody who kind of had the whole package. Thats true. Good soldier and good operator but then of course hes obviously made these brilliant Strategic Moves buying these intellectual property businesses and Everything Else. The broader question for me, do i go after somebody who does have that full range of tangible experience or is it kind of the best athlete, you find an executive who you think can learn it and kind of a strong candidate as a leader . Well, those are two choices. Either one could work. The first of all you have to figure out why hes leaving. Because that that could be a problem for anybody. If what is it . A problem with the board, certain Board Members that dont like him personally or something, it just took them this long to figure that out . Yeah, you can that may be easier for them to deal with if they are not picking somebody inside. To get somebody thats really creative along all of those lines is a tricky proposition. You assembleded what became Nbc Universal. You foresaw the growth of cable, which a lot of people at nbc at the time didnt see. Now you have this huge explosion of Distribution Channels out there. Where is this going and how do you make money at this . I think simplicity, its almost like medicine, personal video now. People want to they want to be able to go to whatever the device they have and they want to be able to see everything they want to see and they want to pay very little for it. But theyll pay something. And thats very good for people that are already in the business. Its very good for the technology side. I dont think it rules anybody out but you saw the nfl just now coming into an agreement with twitter to put the thursday night game on. Which is already put on the nfl network and already put on cbs now on they are making the bet that they have a different issue, the rates are so high they are going to try to capitalize on it before they end up with a sports tier. A sports tier would really take the pricing down of sports. A 50 sports tier, people wont buy that tier. They will have a smaller audience. Why its a big audience right now, press on to every possible outlet you can and people like universal or Nbc Universal, they have enormous codries of films and television shows, great production facilities and those things cant be reproduced. Youre going to have to figure out, its not only how complicated but how do you use those forever on every single device. Theres plenty of room. Weve got to go but weve got to give our best to suzanne. Thank you. We wish her well. I appreciate it. Good to see you, bob. Bob wright, former ge vice chair and ceo of Nbc Universal and new book is called the wright stuff. News right now with oil inventories. In the commodity pit, api data showing a surprise drawdown on u. S. Crude inventory and stocks were off by 4. 3 million barrels. That was unexpected. Were looking at crude up 2. 4 . Now with the focus to wynn reports, the first q1 revenue to be between 603 to 613 million, thats down from the 705 million it saw in First Quarter of 2015. In addition to that saying that macaos project earnings down from a year ago. Were looking at the stock trading flat after hours. Keep in mind this is a stock has down more than 30 year to date. Perhaps some of the negativivety and weakness from china already priced into the stock. All right, thank you, seema, mike, is this going to cut it for them . I dont know if its going to cut it for them. Its always good to have the opportunity to basically say heres how were going to spin it. The stock reaction relatively muted i have to say. Very interesting. Microsoft pulling the plug on its chat bot after twitter users trained to spout racist sentiments but one Venture Capitalist is saying, chat bots are the future. Well hear from him up next. A quick programming note, the third episode of billion dollar buyer airs tonight at 10 00 p. M. Eastern time. Travels to new york city to meet two sets of Small Business owners, here on cnbc, dont miss it. Waiting too long before going public may be bad for business. Heres what mark told us on friday. Way too often, all of the super hypergrowth that typically, you go public early part of your public experience and public shareholders get to participate in, thats not happening anymore. Companies are waiting to seven, nine, ten years or longer to go public and hypergrowth is typically gone. Thats why youre seeing a lot of ipos under perform. Joining us now from the iconic conference for his reaction, evernote cofounder and managing director, phil, great to see you again. Your comments and reaction to mark cuban saying the companies are waiting too long to go public and when they do, best years of growth are behind them . You know, i dont think in the history of business has anyone timed anything exactly right. Things are either you wait too long or go too soon. In the past two Years Companies probably have been waiting too long. Now companies will go out too soon. Hopefully get the right answer soon. Back in the 90s it was the opposite. A lot of companies were coming too soon to the Public Market. Have we gone too far the other direction now . Is that what mark is suggesting and do you agree with that . Yeah, i think thats probably right. Its always a question of either under correcting or overcorrecting. Great companies have almost a obligation to be public. Its important for the world and society. Everyone wants to see more great Public Companies and well have to figure out what the right timing is. It probably has been too long in the past two years and it will correct. Weve seen Companies Like fidelity and t. Rowe price, doing it in the private markets.
