Really a macro call based on valuation and you have to consider the dollar as part of it. I just think yen has more potential upside. The its a pair trade, as you said, its not that im short the s p, bearish, its a relative performance. Thinks the s p could still outperform. This is like a mid year trade. Sure, if you were thinking about mean reversion and the huge gaps in valuation and performance thaend youre looking at the recent trend that shows a big reversal from what weve seen in the last few years. For contest, were overweighting em. Ive been flogging this horse for months. So its nigs to hear him agree with it. Eem is up 16. 5 year to date. This is the key to outperformance this year i think is to be in europe, even japan, nikkei looks like it wants 20,000 badly. As were talking, is breaking a level to the upside that it isnt seen since may of 2015. If you look at spy you can see a change in trend, thats coinciding with better economic news. And i genuinely think that whats gone on in the first three to four months is going to be exacerbated further into year end as everyone chases this, so you may not have seen nothing yet, as they say. I thought it was interesting as part oz hf thesis was that so much money has been flowing into passive investing, index funds and what have you, that its pushed the valuation of the s p 500 too high. Has that sort of unbind, as you get a move back towards active, that this is why this pair trade is going to work. You doebt dont have mch on t the High Frequency side. Youve got south korea in here in the eem swelts brazil and so forth and if you can link those two up, well, good luck to you. As far as manipulating that and im not saying manipulate in a bad way. As far as money flowing in there and grabbing chunks of the s p 500, lifting stocks like amazon and apple and Goldman Sachs and the stocks that weve talked about ad nauseam here, i think its good call by jeffrey. And it underperformed for years. Last year, the outperformance started. Bottom line, is this the time and to really consider values elsewhere . Whether its eem or europe. The answer is yes. Even as jeffrey says, the s p could still outperform in the near term. Most of the time, you are supposed to have a diversified portfolio. Particularly if you are High Net Worth investor. Youre supposed to have international stock, including emerging markets in there. My only problem with this call is if hes right on both side of the pair trade implying he thinks the s p 500 is going to come down, the problem with that is that as the s p 500 comes down, they get a little scared and theyre going to take money out of the riskier assets like emerging markets. This is a case where this is very correct and i think josh you used the concept, if this is your type of trade. Youve got to realize investor behavior in the retail space is not thinking about pair trades. Theyre thinking about absolute returns and if you get something crazy, which happens in emerging markets like a bank of cyprus going belly up, thats going to get outflows on the retail emerging markets. I understand if you say the s p sarts to come and people get nervous, its not like theyre going to be in the mood to buy. I dont disagree, but for Something Like this, you have to think bigger than just what goes on in the next election. During the this time frame, european stocks did well, emerging markets did great. If were starting to think in chunks of three, five and ten year, you are correct that investor behavior might yank assets from foreign markets, but if we have a lost decade for the s p, which is possible from sxwl why is the vix as low as it is . Why is the s p trading in such a tight range as it has been . Whats the message in that . Hold on, are we complacent or trying to figure out where the best bang for your buck is, and thats why people are reluctant to put money into the s p 500. They are investors such as jim simons sitting out on long island and there are scientists and pafds who have developed and we have developed efficiencies in the marketplace and what we are witnessing is mathematics at work. We have a volatility index at a 24year low and understanding that, the relationship the correlations are all mean reverting intraday, so if you know volatility is not going to be expanding, ranges are not going to be expanding further, then what youre sitting there doing scientifically during the course of the day with these is is when something is getting outside of the range statistically, where it should be based on volatility, you bring it back in again and its really about that top that spins that is not spinning that much. The last thing i would say is think about where wurp a couple of years ago and the conversation with High Frequency trading. We were so concerned about it, were now witnessing the efficiency of it. Joe, i want to respond to this. Something ive been saying from the beginning of the year is i think its wrong for us to look at a market like the s p 500. Im bringing a new facet in it. The out performance this year of growth versus value has been tremendous. The russell 1000 growth is up 12. 3 . If youre in those growth stocks, which includes apple, facebook, et cetera, youre feeling like this is a bull market. The russell 1,000 value is up 3. P 3 and if thats where you invest, you dont feel the s p 500 reflects where your market is. When were talking about the markets, whether its flows like youre talking about or fundamentals, this is a tale of two cities youre talking about investing and i agree with your classification. Josh was talking about market exposure. Youre a longterm investor. You always have that exposure. The near term, oil prices could create a risk to edm. Mike fell off. Imt to jump ahead and do some reporting. New at noon story and developing one related to pandora. Last night along with earnings, you may have heard by now, that pandora announced it was considering strategic alternatives, including pursuing a share, which some of the largest shareholders have pushed through. Some involved kkr making a 150 Million Investment in pandora. Its a Financing Deal that will close in 30 days. David faber has been doing a lot of great reporting op this story. I just want to add some of my own. Im told from sources that pandora is not only actively trying to sell itself, but it believes that it can get a deal done before that 30daytime period ends. In which case, it would have to pay kkr 15 million basically in insurance policy as david was saying, certainly as im hearing, thats how the company views that 15 million payment. Giving the company a 30day option to sell itself, which it thinks it can do, im told. The companys adviser are actively working to get a deal done. According to my source, pandora is confident that the investor makes it more likely to happen and thats why they were will be willing to spend the 15 million for an insurance policy, much more to come on that, but again, my reporting is that pandora is confident that it can get a deal done in the next 30 days before the Financing Deal with kkr would close. Pan doria said no to 15 a share and the belief was they found a private equity firm thats going help them with the losses theyre bleeding until either the strategy starts to work out or somebody else comes along willing to pay more than 15. If what youre saying pans out, this is the opposite outcome from consensus on the name. Were getting no comment from pandora on o news. I think david mentioned sirius. I dont have any reporting on that. There was unusual activity in the name yesterday. Most thaukt it was probably related to earnings or Something Like that. Given the time frame, your reporting saying within 30 days, which i did not know last night, but now that were hearing that, the upside calls, thats something they can still cash in on even though the stock dipped to 950. The 30 day financing isnt by accident. They think they can get a deal before its over and they are actively working to make that happen. Scott, it provides a much needed safety net. You know ive been in and out of this name multiple times and talked on the air incorrectly about a deal occurring. I believed it was going to occur. At one point, i thought it was going to occur at 18. That would be fantastic if it happened at that price. Were talking about a xhaen that when you look at its cash and shortterm investments, just two years ago, it was approach iing 400 million. It now sits at 200 million. It is a deteriorating balance sheet, make the entry into the music space. But they get the financial safety net and i think even better, they get the expertise they need on the board. They did announce the Board Changes as well. Its money well spent, worth the insurance. This falls into the category of great service, great product. Terrible business. Streaming music. Its just not a good business. Probably will become a worse business as you see the op ls of the world spend more and more money to be in streaming et cetera. Almost no ones making money here. Pandoras got great global ads, but its not an ideal client theyre serve iing those ads to. Thats the client not paying the subscription fee. Its the kint that doesnt spend the money and then the subscription business, its not great and theyre not really doing a lot, you know, in terms of innovation, so i think like its tough to make the case that theres going to be some dwraet deal for this company. Never good on a short time frame. That empowers the potential buyers. Not seller. I know its only its not the first time that were either hearing about the possibility of pandora doing a deal either. Not really defending your story well enough and recognizing how quickly the competition is coming on. Heres a classic example of a business that has a tremendous amount of o competition. Really wasnt prepared for it. Well follow that. Its going to be active obviously throughout this this day minimum and certainly over the next many weeks as we understand it. Lets stick with tech. We mentioned apple. That amazing run continuing today. Another all time high. Like a broken record. Market cap now above 800 billion and social capital founder, appearing on cnbc earlier today, he had this to say op why hes changed his mind on the tech giant. I think whats misunderstand is is that there is an emerging business that none of us are paying enough attention so, what is the ios business, so all of the business of apps and selling subscriptions is misunderstood, including by me. I think whats interesting about what he had to say is that he views this story as a software and services story. The iphone is what it is. Obviously, its an incredibly powerful hardware device for apple, but the better part of the story and maybe the most misunderstood and maybe for him is software and services. Right and that software, the ios he called out there, thats interesting because not a lot of us focus on that, scott, a lot of us on this desk including pete focuses in on services, services, services. And every time scott scoffs at it, pete just nails it again and says services. Obviously, the growth there is amazing and just last week when they reported, we said look at the device sales as well. Watch sales doubled year over year. Double digit growth in an installed base of a you know, that a knowledge that a billion units and things like that. These are all things that play to apples strength and i think thats part of why the gentleman change d his view based on this new analysis hes made. One of the big mistakes with apple that ive seen is people trying to put it into a box. Is it consumer tech. Is it hardware . Is it software . Its such a, its such a distracting and in the end, irrelevant conversation. The question is, is apple going to do better or worse in the future and nothing, nothing thats gone on in the last few years would lead any sane person to say that apples Competitive Position is not great. Or apple somehow doesnt have the where with all to continue to do well in services and in addition, none of that has happened, so this idea that im not going to pay x multiple because its a consumer hardware, you dont know what this is. Its a unicorn. There is nothing else like it its ever existed and the cash they have has always given them the ability to get into new markets, to do pretty much whatever they want and beat up any competitor they need to. I think thats been missed in the conversation. Feels like at this point, everybody on earth owns stock, either outright or through a fund. What if you dont . 854. Heres the thing. I think you buy it here. The next 12 percentage points, if if you are one of those few who dont own it, the next 12 guarantees the ten after that. I would never say that about a stock. This isnt even technical analysis, t not fundamental. Its specific apple trading analysis. You get the next 12 percentage points, youre at 900 billion on the market cap. I can guarantee you every news channel out there is going to have a little box in lower right that has an apple 1 trillion watch monitor on it just like we watched dow 20,000 or the bp oil spill. It will gain so much hype at a 900 billion that youre almost guaranteed to get it. How does this not a sell on the news come the eight in the fall . It might be. You could have a 10 drawdown in apple overnight. Theres absolutely no reason to believe that just because theyre an incredibly successful company, the stock will lose all volatility its ever had. This is a name thats endured 20 and 30 drawdowns in most of the years since the iphone was originally launched in 2007. Its a decade of this product becoming bigger and better and more refined an more iterative and in the meantime, investors havent been able to tuck it under their pillow. Do you buy it at 154 or think its going to be a sell on the news later in the year. Quickly, it is sell on the news but thats much later. Youre talking october. When the iphone launches, you do sell the news, its may, weve got a few months and i think this thing will get sucked up to 1 trillion. I think you buy it here. Absolutely. Heres what else is coming up on the Halftime Report. Next up, rage and returns. The stocks are soaring while the passengers are fuming.

We talked to brad yesterday despite the backlash. Not backing away from stocks at yesterdays sohn investment conference. He pitched yupted as his top idea on stage, say iing the sto can nearly double. Hes sticking with it. The company made the right steps. He said yesterday we thought it would double, right . He said by the way, he bought more. Well hear later when warren updates, but i bet you he added to it. Negotiated, debated with pete while you were gone, i was taking the bull case on united and if warrens not selling here, if ch he did in the case of ibm, i think that goes higher. They were buying at the 78. 50 strike b and selling at a strike above it. Theyre defining the risk the same way. I wouldnt go out and buy either of these stocks. Id do a call spread. I think its ironic seeing the meeting and then return from sohn and theyre being contrarian. So i find that youre a little cynical there. Im in jet blue, the only one buffett doesnt own. I think its too small for berk shirks but this is the most interesting because its obvious if theres going to be more consolidation, this would be the play. Even if there isnt, they have such an ironclad lock on their base. When they put out their flights for christmas time last month, theyre doing just fine in terms of their ability to raise price. The regionals have been the play and im wrong because i thought that the large aircraft carriers would struggle through the publicity surrounding what happened with united.

You look at this, there it is over here. About 500 contracts a day. All of a sudden, trades nearly 9,000 contracts. Tells us something might be happening between now and next friday, judge. Ill probably be in these calls which i bought today, by the middle of next week, ill probably be out. Thats a big bet that macys trades through or at least to 30 very quickly like that. Yep, how about fcs. Heres a yore to date there. It piqued just shy of 18 bucks a share. Here it is at 11. 80 today. Theyre much longer dated. Buying them out in january, so not shortterm, longterm calls. Januarys traded about 22,000 of those. At the 14 strike, 2 higher than where the stock is.

Back to macys for a minute, ian, whos frequently on the show, reminding me they report earnings on thursday morning. Right.

Dylan is a wharton business student and is the winner of this years contest who prese presented his pitch. Youre an undergrad in a competition of mostly professionals and mbas. Yeah. Makes it even more spectacular. It was an excellent opportunity and really cool to be there with so many professionals, people ive looked up to for so many years then get to stand there on the stage where they have been just presenting. Truly once in a lifetime chance. You beat out several hundred people. He seemed enthusiastic. What was your whole feeling when you were up there with him . An excellent feeling, but a whirlwind. He just told us about it about five minutes before i walked so, i i met with ion horp, who told me i won, then walked me down to be miked up not a lot of time to prepare. No pressure there. Its a pair it implies p pay pal is short. About 1 billion in earnings starting in 2020 in perpetuity. I wanted to point out, i was in the audience and everyone was like very into the idea. Like people were not scroll iin through their phone. Give you a ton of credit. Its so hard the to come out on a stang like that. Thousands of people and b lib you said, the most respected people in the industry, but you didnt seem nervous at all. You made a very compelling case. I wanted to ask you about ebay. Why do you think this thing gets so little attention . Is it because the Revenue Growth isnt there or do you think its because maybe the paypal spin off and who that was a better deal for muddles the issue for say the casual analysts that doesnt really look closely at it. I think thats a good question. I cited the quote from john malone who noted that cash cow businesses like ebay dont receive the same amount of appreciation as other faster growing businesses. Businesses like paypay, theyre cool, sexy, everybody use iing them. When they split apart in to 2015, it was easy for people to say ebay is good, paypal is bad. Its received less attention. Do you view the estimate as big too conservative because now, you have the funding mechanism where customers can go in and choose their own methodology. Which is something unique, they did not have that prior i would believe thats going to accelerate earnings gorowth ove the next koim of years. I think a reasonable place could be in excess of 50 longterm. Its very substantial amount. We didnt explain this well. Your premise is that papal has this sweetheart deal with ebay, which lasts until 2020. So they have to have the payment platform on their site, 200 million users. Paypal and then they lose that sweetheart deal and youre calculating how much business is going to walk out the door when ebay is automobile to do their own transactions. Thats correct. Would this be like when costco loses, when American Express loses costco . In other words, they had that deal, obviously, you followed that as well. This is bigger. Its not 280 million. When american extress lost, that was a much smaller foot precipitation, but it impacted for 18 mobts and youre thinking this could be the same with paypal. One thing i think people are missing, they have a much higher take rate on ebay than they do on anything else. Dont have a take rate. Theyre a larger revenue and they have much higher margins which comes down to about 50 earnings. Thats not the speculation of a 20yearold. That was confirmed by management in march of 2014. Does am sop worry you . They are somewhat interconnected in that they have dollars to spend. Theyre getting such great dollars on amazon, why do they look at ebay at all . I think its a good point and one thats always been raiseded about ebay. I think thats why ebay is so underappreciated today. Theres no perfect explanation for why people still continue to use ebay. Part of it is the auction format is a bit different. And collectibles. Exactly. Part of sit that it offers a better opportunity for seller, not just for buyer, where sellers often prefer to go to ebay. They dont necessarily compete with those sellers in trying to sell products the way amazon had done in the past with diapers an diapers. Com as well as toys r us. So theres a better opportunity for sellers on obey, which makes a lot of them choose that. You also think ebay is recession proof. I mention classified as being recession proof. I think ebay has a lot less volatility. What do you want to do . Be a hedge fund money manager . He wants to be on the Halftime Report. This is actually what i aspire to in life.

Not sure exactly where in the capital structure is most interesting, but again, im only 20 years old. Ive got a lot of time to think about this. Lons time, i see myself in finance. Youre going to stay because jim cramer is coming out. Well be right back, jim cramer, debating who knows what else. Thunder dome. Hunder dome. Usaa gives me the peace of mind hunder dome.

A robust annual percentage yield thats what i find romantic. This is literally throwing your money away. I think its over there. That way . Yeah, a little further up. What year was that quarter . What year is that one . 98 thats the one. You got it nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. Ally. Do it right. Lets get out of that water. Jim cramer joining us now. Dylan aid l man with us as well. He was the sohn contest winner. We saw your tweet. Look, i met with dan and you know, candidate i think you mad presentation. I dont want to refute it so much as just to say i think paypal doing well and perhaps its not a great short. I think ebay is an undervalued company. I afwree it doesnt get the create a lot of people feel it will be zroid by amazon. I think the last two quarters demonstrated better number ofs, just to get the total payment volume for paypay, was 99 billion. They have 19 for mutual growth, which is really pretty great. Big revenues. Everyones trying to write these guys off. There have been so many people who have been, jean had a sell, all thats happened over and over again is that hes foileded. Dan has foiled the bears, wells fargo was supposed to wipe him out, no. Mastercard, no, mastercard is the partner. All that i keep seeing is is that he keeps broadening his effort and has a lot more pals and friends in the Payment Processing business, so ipg that what you could run into is huge amount of free cash flow, which we know. 5 a million buy back. A guy that has tremendous momentum in a business he was supposed to be wiped out in. Apple pay was the last big challenge, so i just say look, lets be careful on the short side. 2020 solution, he may outgrow everybody in the interim because i think he is the millennial credit card. I think its a bit of a stretch to bet against the guy and think youll be covered by ebay. Yeah, so i think you make a lot of really good points there and i agree that dan, excellent qeo and that the nonebay half of the business is one thats growing phenomly. Seeing things like brain tree or venmo. Hes not charging for venmo yet. Exactly. But it comprises a pretty substantial portion of total payment volume is something we can look at and see while ebay is about 17 of the total payment volume, it is a much higher take rate than most of the payment. Why do you think hes going to lose a lot of that . Because the way the contract with ebay is sfruktured, it allows ebay as early as 2020 to go out on its create a record Processing System in house. Its not a great business for them. Its like why alibaba doesnt want to do it. They have another division that does it. They dont really like this. Sure. But the important thing is they make all of the money from it. That 2 or so multiplied by gross merchandise volume flows back to them instead of out the door to pay pal. You have three years of which this company is really smoking. And then when you get to 2020 youre hoping that they develop. Youre hoping. Do you like the ebay long . I think its not as good i think id rather be, if i had my druthers, i would flip it. Its just not growing that much. So, jim, you didnt buy into my argument this is like when american he can press lost co costco . That was a terrible move by American Expression express. It was the most material thing that could happen to American Express. Look at what visa has done and costco and citi. No. I was reluctant to come out. I just like hearing you. I want to encourage you. I didnt want to come out and say, listen, i think its a dumb idea. Its not. I think its great that youre here. I didnt even for a minute want to discourage by saying this is a bad idea because its not. Its a thoughtful, intellectual idea. Not only do i think you didnt do what you feared would happen, i think the kid held his own, too. Totally. And i think all that im saying is by the time we get there, it wont be a factor. But i felt that intellectually you hit it out of the park and i thought it was great. Jim, thanks for coming out. Thanks for being such a great sport. We wish you all the best. Congratulate job.

We are looking at cop earp today edging higher after falling to fourmonth lows and trying to recover from a 5 loss in the last week. Thats largely due to manufacturing weakness coming out of china. We cant talk about copper right now without talking about the china theme. How do you see data impacting the metal Going Forward . Well, jackie, before we talk about that, lets talk about what copper up to the levels it was at. That was after trump was elected. A trillion dollar stimulus plan. It has pushed back to the wayside with health care and tax reform taking center stage. Copper has come off. You mentioned the pmi data out of china. It was terrible, and that added to the slide, too. When youre not talking about a trillion dollar stimulus plan into this, im not surprised were lower. Scott, youre taking a look at the charts, the levels, what are the key points to watch .
