Transcripts For CNBC Power Lunch 20130718

Another 1. 37 higher today and there you see ice. Ice, ice, baby. Crude is up 6 since the first day of the summer. Another big report from the financial sector, this time its Morgan Stanley up 4. 5 . Better today, up big, and the financials are up 40 in a year weve got it all covered for you on this hot day. Sue is down at the new york stock exchange. Good to see you, ty, and as you mentioned we hit alltime highs for the dow and the s p. You see the big board basically today, its running very strong. 81 points. The nasdaq, no slouch there, either. Its near 13year highs, and more importantly to a lot of chartists, the russell 2000 is at alltime highs as well. That 10year note, the yield right now is trading just below the 2. 5 mark. Well show that to you in just a few minutes. Bob and warren join me now on the floor right now, and warren, with respect to the financials, the nasdaq has quite a bit of support under it in todays trading session. Absolutely, and you look for the financials to be part of that leadership carrying rallies. Weve been on top of that the last couple months mere, ahere,w that theyre joining the party, i think that gives everyone a sense that it could be good. I think thats very significant, its happened quite often. Its very simple. Mr. Bernanke, number one, has tamed the bond market. Thats the most important thing. And number two, while everybody complains about lackluster revenue growth, earnings are coming in as expected. 70 of the companies are beating earnings expectations. Were up nearly 40 in Earnings Growth. I agree, i dont like the revenues being flat. But were going to beat 4, 5, maybe 6 Earnings Growth in the fifth quarter and thats what people are expecting right now. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it very much. Ty, send it back to you. Day two of Ben Bernankes testimony up on the hill, he was asked point blank whether he was going to start tapering off in september. Steve joins us with the highlights. Steve . Tyler, you were there yesterday. Ben bernanke in day two of his testimony on the hill was asked about comments made by treasury secretary jack liu at delivering alpha. Lew told me in an interview if bernanke didnt end too big to fail, more should be done with tapering. If we end this year and we cannot say we have ended too big to fail, were going to have to look at other options. Now, senator elizabeth warren, the democrat from massachusetts who is big on these issues, calling for a revival of glass stiegel, asked bernanke about those comments. The timing, maybe i would take another year from now, but i said to you in another hearing that there is a strategy, dodd fradod doddfrank lays out a strategy. But if those things do not make us comfortable about the status of these largest firms, yes, i do think additional steps would be appropriate. Not out of the woods yet. Now, on monetary policy, senator chuck schumer, democrat from new york, if he didnt exist we would have to invent him, because he went right after bernanke on the issue of will the fed taper in september . The june meeting was only a few weeks ago. There have been some data points since then, and as you say, theyve been mixed. I think its way too early to make any judgment. Well be obviously reviewing the data, and what were looking for is a pickup as the year progresses. So thats it. If we get this pickup in july and august, i suppose were on track for tapering. But right now it sounds like a little even, 5050, i think right now, tyler. Just so you know more about him, he interviewed lew in the morning. Great show. Great show, thats right. Lots of dead, lots of 60s70s rocks. Thats right. Hi, mary. Lets keep it going. All you need positive is mary right here. Morgan stanley currently trading up at 27. 77. Stock up more than 35 in the last three months and Mary Thompson keeping the positive momentum going. A 15week high. A Share Buyback was announced, its first since 1978. This quarter is a new era for Morgan Stanley. Ceo joe gorman says the company is on more stable ground. Weve been on a long journey to achieve sustainment with businesses in the markets. That Business Model is solidly in place. Earnings excludeing items of 49 cents a share, better than expected revenue of 8 billion. Year after year performance in fixed commodities and currencies driving the results. On proposed rules for leverages in big banks, the firms Current Ratio is 4. 2 . The companys return on equity a major probability declining to 5. 4 . Citing onetime reasons for the decline, its still below that of its nearest rival goldman sachs. Im not sure you can call them peer to peer rivals because Morgan Stanley has that big thing going. Sue, down to you. Thanks, guys. There are three Major Tech Companies on the move after reporting their earnings after the bell last night. Ibm moving higher after raising its outlook and reporting better than ever Second Quarter earnings. The company did miss on revenues but its up 2 on the day. Ebay slumping after warning that results would be at the end of its forecasted range. Slower growth with its paypal unit. Intel also lower as the chip maker cut its revenue forecast as well as its Capital Spending plans. This is to adjust to weakness in the pc market. Its down to almost 4 . Phillip Morris International Second Quarter profits up in smoke falling 8 as it shipped fewer cigarettes. The company also lowering its full year guidance. The stock right now is still in the green just fractionally at 89. 75. A tobacco analyst with wells fargo securities. Bonnie, welcome. Nice to have you here. I was very surprised that they saw volume declines in all their major regions. What does that tell you about the future for them in terms of growing this business . You know, we knew this quarter was going to be tough. There have been a few disruptive excise tax increases that took place, so this was mainly expected, the volume shortfall. Keep in mind the story here is net price realization. That was stronger in the quarter. Another reason the Company Reported weak results is negative affects. They had a currency headwind and thats why their guidance was brought down, primarily and only due to the currency headwinds. So when you look longterm, were still anticipating the company will generate 10 to 12 eps growth, and going back to net price realization, thats going to be more than enough to offset some of the sluggish volume weve seen near term. They saw volume dedeclines, you mentioned, in development markets but they have made a big effort to go into still developing and emerging markets. How successful havey been at that . Very successful. We performed this big analysis on their business in asia. We looked out over the next decade. And we think their profits in asia can more than double, and a lot of that is driven by key markets such as indonesia, phillipines, japan is still a strong market, and this is, again, over the long term. So not only do we see continued volume and share gains, but importantly, price realization. Its more affordable. A pack of smokes is more affordable than a big mac, almost three times more affordable in the emerging key markets. This is another analysis we performed. We think this is strong and healthy. Thats a very interesting statistic. Bonnie, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Ty, back to you. Sto a company delayed on bells plan to take the company public. Bell says they significantly undervalued the company and he criticized the board yesterday at the cbcs conference. Ive never seen anything as bad as this. Ive never seen anything where they actually go out and scare their own shareholders. One guy wrote a headline that was perfect where he said they scared the dell out of shareholde shareholders. Scared the dell out of shareholders. There is just not enough support for michael dells plan. Dennis burman has been following this story. Is this all about getting dell to sweeten its offer . Of course, its about getting dell to sweeten, tyler. The fact the stock is up means theyre expecting a sweetened bid to come through. The reason it has not collapsed also means they think the deal is not dead. Were in a oneweek period here, are the people behind the dell buyoutgoing to off buyout going to offer more or do they say, were out of here . In the end, does the dell deal get done here . There are so many variables, but my gut says yes. There is so much at stake here for dell, the man, to get forth his idea of how this company will be evolving. I would say hes got to sweeten and that could come through in a number of ways. He could give the shareholders a little bit of the Public Company and keep that trading publicly while taking the rest of it private. If dell wins, does icahn lose . I would say yes, but icahn at this point is winning. I would have thought a couple weeks ago the shareholders would have approved it just given the numbers involved. But icahn right now is winning, and this is the real tension behind the deal, and that is, is the board going to be shaken up. This gives michael dell more a reason to get a deal done, because shareholders are so upset they might kick him and others off the board. Very quickly, are icahns criticisms of the board justified . We understand there is negotiation going on here, theres posturing going on here, but are his criticisms justified . I think people have to be careful about a swift storm, tyler, but i think he has very valid complaints, especially given when a serious owner and manager says, ive screwed up so much, i need to buy the company from the shareholders. Why should the shareholders get the benefit of his managing plan . Nice seeing you. Sue, back to you. Investor john paulsen made some big waves talking about how bullish he is on housing. Up next we asked where is your money best spent right now, on stocks or on real estate . Plus the westchester story of a mom running a massive marijuana ring. We will have that only on power lunch today. We head out to california where the weather is not cooperating because firefighters are still battling those towering flames. More power lunch in two minutes time. Ng ] more rain. [ thunder rumbles ] [ male announcer ] when the world moves. Futures move first. Learn futures from experienced pros with dedicated chats and daily live webinars. And trade with papermoney to testdrive the market. All on thinkorswim. From td ameritrade. Cdc still has men and women talking all over the country, and heres what john paulsen said on housing that created so much buzz. I still feel buying a home is the best investment any individual can make. Affo affordability is still at an alltime high. So if anyone bought a home last year, lets say 100 you put down 20, today that home is worth in 2012 a 60 return. Nice work if you can get it. Paulsen made a billion dollars betting against housing, and obviously from that statement he is bullish. Is housing the best investment . I was very surprised at his analysis, how he worked through it, and i think he has some very valid points for those, perhaps, who are a little bit nervous about equities, that housing really can be longer term a great investment. Diana . I wasnt surprised at all, and neither were the folks at realtytrac. They gave us a sneak peek at this report theyll be putting out tomorrow. It shows that flipping houses, remember that in the old days, buying and selling houses within six months, flipping was up 19 in the first half of this year, and the gross profit on a flip, up 245 from a year ago. Thats right, 245. So apparently the flippers are back in the game, theyre going market to market. Theyre not in the hot markets, remember. Thats where the big hedge funds and the big Institutional Investors went, but these individual house flippers are making a ton on flipping these houses because prices are up so much, sue. What about the longer term picture, though . Mr. Paulson was specifically talking about buying a home and living in the home, not the flipping aspect of it. Do you agree with his bullish analysis on that longer term . I do. Look, youre not going to see home price appreciation up in the 12 range as it is right now. Thats not going to continue and it will probably temper through the rest of this year, especially as Mortgage Rates go up. But historically speaking, housing has always been a good investment, it has always shown a solid, steady rise in appreciation when were not in a housing crash, of course. If you are looking to stay in the home long term for at least 7 to 10 years, and with rates as historically low, lets not forget they are historically low even though theyre up a bit, its still going to get you profit in the end if you are a longterm resident and holder of that home. Diana, thanks again, as always. Our yahoo question of the day concerns john paulson being bullish on housing, so where do you stand . Are you bullish on housing . Go to finance. Yahoo. Com and well have the results a little later. First check out utility stocks. They are on a roll again today. Look at those moves from public service, con ed, duke and the like. A woman is cashing in on pot. The woman known as the marijuana mom. The new york tabloids call her the marijuana mom. She is accused of running a multimilliondollar pot ring out of her wealthy home in the new york city suburbs. Youre accused of a massive pot grow operation. Is any of that true . See how the feds tracked her down and hear what the neighbors are saying, next. Only on power lunch. But most of them dont have the financial skills to handle it. Pwc is doing something about that. Im bob moritz, u. S. Chairman of pwc.

This ge jet engine can understand 5,000 data samples per second. Which is good for business. Because planes use less fuel, spend less time on the ground and more time in the air. Suddenly, faraway places dont seem so. Far away. An update now on that california wildfire. It is still raging today and reports say it now covers 12. 5 miles. This is all happening right near palm springs east of los angeles. 6,000 people have been forced from their homes and 4,000 homes are considered under threat. We got this video from a friend of one of our producers. This is a separate fire. This one is in the city of los angeles in an area called frogtown which is right near the river. Fire season clearly upon us in california. And some of that has to do with the forecast. All this heat is not letting up. The weather channels paul goodloe is with us now live with an update. Paul, over to you. Thanks, sue. Again, it is hot across the southwest, hot across the midwest, and weve been baking here across the northeast. Look at our current temperatures. Plenty of mid, even upper 90s across the region, but it was not just the temperatures. It was just the temperatures a couple days ago, now you factor in the humidity, so it feels like to your skin when you add in the humidity, were talking over 100 in new york city, 104 in philadelphia. It feels like 103 when you head outdoors in our nations capitol. The big question is, how long will this heat stick around . Right now weve been pretty lucky in terms of not a whole lot of hot weather across the northeast. Thats changing now. Were still going to have a hot day today, a hot day tomorrow, but eventually as we head toward the weekend, well have the transition. By summer a bigger mass of cooler air pushes eastward and pushes through the big cities in the northeast, and that means our temperatures will cool down. But not tomorrow. Plenty of mid to upper 90s feeling warmer than that. Saturday, transition day still hot, but the evening could be storms and much cooler. Sunday, ah, theres the relief. Boston back to 78, new york to 86. But still, the concern now is we still have a heat advisory across the northeast in the yellow and some of the peach colors, those are excessive heat warnings. Hartford, connecticut, even in providence, rhode island. Tyler . Thank you very much. We turn to a hot story in the new york area. The new york tabloids have dubbed her the marijuana mom. Cnbc has been tracking her every move since her arrest. She has the story youll only see today on power lunch. Reporter youre accused of a massive pot grow operation. Is any of that true . She walked into the courthouse totally alone. Amanda sanderlins life completely busted open. A suburban mom and budding confebudding equestrian. Could she really be the alleged head of a drug enterprise . Her covert operation, like a scene out of the hit show we, a show about a mom who runs a marijuana ring. Corey wingrad. This is not life i mitating art. This is real life. Reporter a mom living in one of the wealthiest communities, cruising around town in her big suv, even board ing a horse at this bronxville farm. But prosecutors say she kept all of this on the down low. A warehouse in queens loaded with pot worth 3 million on the streets. According to court documents, the address linked to a business she called fantastic enterprises. She kept a low profile, so you could tell there was something not right. Reporter the secret under wraps until prosecutors say a cooperating witness fingered sanderlin, even telling them he saw andigiving other growing seedlings to others. Details in court documents. Day after day they spotted sanderlin leaving her house in scarsdale and driving to the warehouse she leased in the heart of queens. Neighbors there say she would pull up and rushed to get in. She had a button on her truck, so she opened it before she got to the door. As soon as she got in, it would close behind her. Reporter and inside, worlds away from subur birbia. She had growing lights and ventilation systems. I saw when they installed those ventilation systems that were on the roof. Reporter this mom lives across the street from the warehouse. She said she saw sanderlin come and go but had no idea what was going on behind the gate until now. She was like the perfect mother. She used to take her daughter horseback riding. Yeah, she was the perfect mother. Okay. Reporter and the cost of it raised eyebrows. Almost 99 million, paid cash. The building next door not even came close. I wish i could pay 9,000. Reporter the dae moved in to take down the enterprise. According to court documents, sanderlin was behind the wheel of her suv. All you heard was squealing tires. They came from this way, they came from that way, guns were drawn. It was like a law and order episode over here. Reporter even agents left stunned, finding about 3,000 pot plants inside. Ive never seen anything like this and i had front row seats for the whole thing. Reporter and in scarsdale, the Upscale Community hit hard. It hit the gossip circles right away. Reporter agents seizing stacks of cash from the house, including books on Money Laundering and growing marijuana. And thats not all. They found sanderlins nanny with thousands of dollars rolled up in bundles allegedly trying to sneak the cash to sanderlins boyfriend. According to court documents, he told her to go in the house and, quote, get as much cash as she could from the closet. What were you planning to do with the money . Was there a big plan . The socalled cash mom out on bail. Oddly enough, still willing to risk a half Million Dollars to set her free. The group including a stylist and colorist from this posh hair salon, and this mta engineer who clearly didnt want to see us. And while her attorneys worked a negotiating deal with prosecutors, we found her living in this new york city Public Housing complex. Would you like to talk to us when this is all over . We would love to hear your side of the story. Possibly. Reporter that would be great. We hope to bring you that interview with sanderl nirks. In the meantime shes gone from a 5,000squarefoot home to a tiny apartment in new york city. It could get a lot worse. She is facing 10 years behind bars and a 10 million fine. Of course, well keep watching this one and be sure to bring you the very latest. Back to you. Thank you very much. Andrea day reporting there. 18 states have legalized medical marijuana and storefronts are popping up in many places across the country. One enterprising grassroots company have now figured out a way, they think, to capitalize on this best of your knowledbur. Mr. Beerman, welcome. Glad to have you with us. Thanks for having me. How big a business can this be . This is a niche. There cant be that many dispenseryes in the country, and your clientele would be a subset of that. I guess youre going to have to look at it statebystate. Yeah, there truly is a cap as of right now on what potentially the total numbers potential right now. I think were all looking towards legalization at some point in the future, but you have some free market states, more free market states like colorado where there is almost 700 marijuana businesses for a population of a little over 5 million people. And you have states like massachusetts. Theyre going to issue 35 marijuana Business Licenses in a state that has over 6. 5 million people. There is definitely a limited amount of these licenses and opportunities out there, but we are helping those people that are seeking to get into the business. The dumb but obvious question is what nmakes you an expert . I guess the dumb but obvious answer would be weve just done this. We got into this business in 2008 by just happenstance. Our parent company, a branding Design Construction company, we were hired by dispenseryes to do the work you just mentioned. We got into it and excited about it. We got involved on the operational side on the retail and growth side, and in 2010 we fielded a ton of phone calls by people who want to get into the industry but have no background in it. A Consulting Services investigating a recent murder in california, and one of the things you advertise is security. How secure are these locations . How vulnerable are they . I dont know anything about the circumstances of this case, but are they prone to be victims of crime . You know, i think its like anything else. Youre dealing with high cash based on the banking laws and our Current Situation there. These are high cash or potentially high cash businesses and storefronts, so absolutely theyre a potential target. But like any other target rk, i theyre set up appropriately, thats a deterrent. Banks get robbed more than pot shops do. Tyler, take a look at shares of angies list. Stocks are on the move. After hitting an historic high this morning, the stock turned lower following a negativeseeking blog post. The author of the blog sees the stock as an attractive short. You can see shares down about 2 on the day. Sue, over to you. Thank you very much, sema. Gold prices are up today. Hi, sharon. The range for gold is very narrow today. Theyre triading slightly highe here, around 12. 44 an ounce. We saw that run toward the 13 level yesterday. We got real close to that mark but didnt seem to be able to get through, and there is no attempt at that number today. A lot of traders are saying they are looking at that at the key psychological level, but here any producers say any rally is a time to sell. Back to you. Thank you very much, sharon. The market hitting new highs but weve lost a lot of steam. Bob joins me on the floor. Were up a triple amount of points. The market has been retained by ben bernanke, practically a love fest. The other major factor is earnings are predictably coming in a little better than people anticipated. About 70 of companies are beating the numbers, and one of the reasons the dow is doing so well is because of the two Earnings Reports we had today from ibm which raised their numbers, United Health care had excellent numbers, and thats about 50 points in the dow. Financials the other reason. Morgan stanley six in a row. Six big financials all to the upside and no selling to these financials. They have outperformed in the Second Quarter and theyre continuing to outperform into the third quarter. Im watching that 10year yield, bob. Bertha coombs is tracking the big moves. Hi, bertha. We are getting some downside traction here with both intel and ebay offering disappointing guidance. Theyre accounting for about an 8point impact to the downside. Nevertheless, we have some big numbers coming from tech companies. Raising the outlook for 2013 above estimates. Xilinx and sandisk posting better than expected. Altera going along for the ride. Back to you guys. For that bond market, i mentioned that 10year yield. Everybody here is watching, rick, and i saw it creep back above the 2. 5 mark. What do you make of it . There are definitely a lot of big players really trying to muscle these yields down the last couple of weeks, so its fascinating. Look at that twoday chart. A couple key points. Look where weve held the last couple days, in the mid. 240s, and then look at the fact weve crept up. Some of the selling is due to a threeyear fix. A little hedgy but moving up the chart nonetheless. The first big high was a 2. 61 and then we flattened. Right now 2. 46, 2. 51. The 10year index is creeping back up a bit. Tyler, its all yours.

I would like to ask all of you not to continue in this time the discussion on a new haircut. It is not in your interest. We have agreed on the program for greece, and it was difficult to get it, i tell you. That speech took place at a germany Greek Chamber of commerce meeting, and mr. Schaumbergs remarks caused a ripple this morning. Ty . Lets go to the power rundown and go through this quickly with sue and bob pezani. Banks, brokerages taking part in quantum dunn, a marked hack attack. How vulnerable is wall street to a cyberattack in real life . I think its a real issue. We have seen attacks on exchanges already. Nasdaq had one on their website just the other day. I think this is very interesting. Participants will receive blasts of confusing information today. Thats amazing, sue. We can send them the mlc minutes. Thats really true, but i think in this age of hacking, weve seen so many large Financial Institutions have to deal with that. You mentioned the nasdaq issue as well. I think the more they prepare for this and the more they drill on this, i think the better off they are, and the more it will infuse investors with confidence about the marketplace. I think its a good idea. Ncaa ending pending litigation over licensing in a trademark fight with college ball players. How big a blow is this to eas bottom line . Sue, do you have a perspective here . I understand the athletes per spespectiv perspective, certainly, because they dont profit as much from the use of their image. For ea, i do think its a loss, theyre just trying to avoid a big court battle, i think. Heres a broader question. How do you compensate someone for the use of their image whether its an individual or a sports team . Theyre not going to be able to put out generic sports teams or generic sports jerseys. People want to identify with a team. Have to get to a point where these players get some value out of their own brand. The colleges are making tons of money off of their image and certainly ea was doing the same. Losing weight never easy, but perhaps this unique slimdown initiative in dubai is going to do the trick.

I might turn in my gold and get fat. Is fat fungible, tyler . Gold is over 80. Maybe i should get fat for gold. 50 of the population in dubai is now considered overweight or obese, and thats a huge, huge change. Why do they have such a weight problem in dubai, of all places .

Its a corner unit. And we already have several contracts registered for this one. On the market again just a couple days. Beautiful views looking over the potomac and down i guess maybe thats wilson boulevard. Im not sure. Maybe thats arlington boulevard. Moving on to the second listing. The same price point, about 699,999. Completely different property. 2916 2nd street, taxes of almost 7,000. 3 bedrooms and 1. 5 baths.

You just got out of a meeting with the senator of new jersey and he is supporting you in your efforts. But have you talked to the airlines yet about why some of them are against this particular proposal . Ive asked to have a meeting quite a few times with the ceo of united airlines, jeffrey snizak, and he has not wanted to have a meeting with me. But it is offered that i can meet with their safety person, and i will be setting up a meeting with him very shortly. What, as far as you know, is their opposition to the double locking doors, to the secondary Safety System . I dont know of any opposition. Its common sense. Its what we need to do. In 2001, when they mandated a. 45 cockpit door, they needed it. Operation has showed us the door is not complete. So putting in the secondary barrier through the studies which have been shown, two different studies, the Cato Institute did one and the rtca, both of the studies show the secondary barriers are the most costeffective and the best method in order to protect the cockpit from a breach. Do you know whether or not the foreign air carriers are going to keep the double locking doors . Because there is no requirement for u. S. Airlines to keep the double locking doors, but as i understand it, a number of the foreign carriers are going to keep them. Yerks they wis, they will ke. Ll doesnt even have to worry about keeping the double barriers. The whole area is set up for the pilots and the crew. They have their meal, they have their rest facilities up there. They dont even have to come out. They have the perfect Case Scenario. The issue for us is we dont have the perfect Case Scenario and we need to make sure we do. We need to have hr 1775 be a mandate to make sure all of the airlines in america have a secondary barrier. Studies have shown that the cockpit can be breached and we need to make sure that america is safe. How many congressmen, very quickly, or senators do you have supporting you in your efforts right now, and how many do you hope to get on board . Its great. The numbers keep on growing. Were working on 30 cosponsors right now. And the important thing is not about having the sponsors to sign up right now, its about getting the information out. Its about making sure we get this out of the committee and we just bring hr 1775 to a vote. And then we protect americans, and its that simple.
