Sue is here in Englewood Cliffs today. I am, todd. Good to see you. Were going to start with possible signs of a downturn. Bob pisani has one piece of evidence. Jackie de angeles the other. Ice brent down 10 . Good afternoon, sue. Certainly not pretty when it comes to crude oil. Couple of factors here pushing these prices down. The first would be that Global Supply right now is surging. In opecs monthly report issued this morning, total output actually went up even though saudi arabia cut its production by 400,000 barrels a day. You have the libyan supply coming online to balance things out. In that same report, opec said its cutting by 50,000 barrels per day. When you look at the Energy Sector and the etf in energy, you can see there are declines there but they are less steep than the prices weve seen the declines weve seen in crude prices. Mentime in terms of the energy stocks, lets look at three months. Lets look at exxonmobil, chevron, and bp. Not as bad as the actual prices. And the refiners are holding up a little bit. Youre seeing some of those in positive territory including phillips 66 and valero. That is because refiners are paying less to refine their products so their margins go down. Thank you very much. Well get to bob in a minute. But first to dominic for a market flash. Oil prices move to the downside like jackie just said here. Take a look at american, united continental, delta, southwest. Volatile but they are still with the price of oil. Always an industry to keep track of when we talk about Falling Energy prices. Thanks so much. Stocks eking out modest gains. The dow up 20 points. The nasdaq up 22. Its the biggest percentage gainer of the three major indices. Bob pisani is going to give us the trading action from the nyse floor. Two issues. Number one, were getting problems with Interest Rates today. Number two, were getting problems with some of the midlevel names sort of stalling out on me. My friend jeff saw it over there. Strategist noted that of the 1,025 stocks in his analyst universe, the average stock is 23 off the 52week high. That means a lot of the midcap names and smaller cap names arent doing that much anymore. They are just languishing. That is sign of internal market weakness. The 10year yield is moving up again. We are at sixweek highs in a 10year. And we get pressure on certain sectors. We noted the eem, thats the big etf for the emerging markets that had a great run in the last few months. Look at it in the last couple days as Interest Rates have moved up even just a little, weve had a significant decline in the last two days. Don mentioned the airlines stocks, hes right about that. Just off of its highs for awhile now. Jackie was mentioning the decline in crude and in brent. A lot of these stocks do not work well when brent crude goes towards 90. You go to 90 in brent, Companies Like Whiting Petroleum and Shale Companies dont work because its expensive to get that oil out of the ground. You start dropping a few more dollars from where we are now, these companies have problems. Thats why Whiting Petroleum is very closely watched. Let me just mention, though, the other transports generally not having a great day. The railroads have been doing well recently. Union pacific and csx, but some of the transport and logistics companied like jb hunt and matson, those stocks have been notably weaker as theres been concerns about the Global Economy overall. Bifurcated market. If youre staying in the u. S. , generally youre doing better if youre a big company that ships outside the United States, notably weaker. Back to you. Thanks so much, bob. Before we go to michael, 10year notes were auctioned off today. And so far we havent seen much reaction. Its holding at 2. 534 . We did see a spike in yields this morning. Theres a lot of volatility today. Lets get to mike and jerry. You both own apple, well get to that. We just did a segment on evidence of a slight downturn in the markets. Michael, would you agree with that . I think we are seeing a downturn in the markets. Makes sense. You know, ken paulcari says it feels like an exhaustion pause like the bull ran out of steam. That drop in mortgage is i think worth paying attention today. Diana olick is going to give us more on that in a second. Do you think that indicates the consumer is weakening . The consumers have more head wind. Theyre not willing to pay the price for higher mortgages. And theyve got higher costs that theyre facing. So the consumer doesnt have a lot more cash. Its tight for the consumer. Jerry, i know there are some areas of the market you really like. Tell me why and are you at all worried that the market is starting to roll over a bit here . As your earlier comments suggest, for some of the broader based names, weve been in the middle of a rollover now for six months. Particularly small and midcap. My suggestion is the market at the high end at the overvalued end is due for a rollover. But i think what youre seeing the ends of kwb quite frankly, is the corrective phase in the more economically sensitive names, small midcap names. To me that would serve as a ball last against some of these defensives that didnt really need to correct anyway. You like tech financials, energy, and industrials. But the Energy Markets been under some pressure. The energy stocks, anyway. Yeah. And again, we noted that how theres been a pullback into the 90s for oil prices. The stocks havent really had that violent of an adjustment. And that pretty much underscores the fact that the u. S. Shale plays are such have such great cost advantage. 90, 80 even are very profitable prices for those companies to explore for and develop reserves. You dont have the sensitivity you used to have to an initial Price Movement in oil on the downside. All right. Michael, you get the final word. What do you like in the market here . Well, i continue to like the consumer staples. Health care, some of the industrials. Theyre a little bit cheaper. I do want to say that i dont own apple, sue, but i thought yesterday was a nothing burger of a launch. The stock is not all that expensive but theyve got big head winds to try to make money faster. Cool products, but i keep it more defensive. I like whole foods. I think that Health Food Craze continues. And united natural foods. Very quickly, jerry, do you still like apple after yesterday . Oh, yeah. I think were at the beginning of a seat change in terms of what will grow their revenues and earnings. And i dont think being short this stock at this valuation level is a smart thing given some of the upside there. Even though it did get a downgrade today. Going to be interesting. Appreciate it very much. Now to housing and those numbers that michael farr just mentioned. The number of people applying for mortgages, 14year loan now. Why . Whats causing it . Diana olick has more. Mortgage rates moved up very slightly. I dont think you can point that on the finger for all of this. Just for some. Take a look, the average contract rate moved up to 4. 27 from 4. 25 . Not huge, but the trend is going up, not down anymore. Now, that hits refis the hardest. When rates were down in the 3 range, not in the 4 range. Now, refis fell 11 week to week and are now down 17 from a year ago. A year ago is when rates were even higher so people had stopped refinancing already. Applications to buy a home are o now down 12 from a year ago. Thats plain weak housing demand. When you look further inside these numbers, you see a red flag. That is a real number in the government loans. That is fha and va loans. Those are the loan down payment homes who the firsttime buyers usually go for. We are seeing a big drop of that as well. All right. Thank you very much. Everyone knows that real estate in new york city is expensive. But look at this. Takes it to a whole new level. A Luxury Condo Development downtown in soho tell zeselling ten underground Parking Spaces for a Million Dollars each. Just the Parking Spaces. That is five times the median home price in this country. The spaces are available in sizes up to 200 square feet and they are being listed thus for 5,000 to more than 6600 a square foot. On that basis, thats more than the apartments go for upstairs. The condos are going for about 3100 a square foot or about 8 million for a threebedroom place. A million more to pork it. You dont have to circle around soho. Disney shares up more than 200 since bob iger has been ceo. Our david faber has an exclusive with the one of the leading contenders to take over at disney.

Its up on the trading session by. 75 . And Dollar General taking it directly to shareholders. Shareholders were preferring a lower offer by dollar tree. All stocks are in play today. If you like nascar, you know our next guest. Its Jimmie Johnson. The lowes chevrolet, number 48. Sixtime champion in the sprint cup series. Delighted to have you here. It kicks off in chicago. It is a slightly reformatted chase to the cup. Tell me how it changed. We had our regular season which was 26 races. We have ten remaining. If you want won a race in the f you automatically advance in the chase. Two extra made it in based on points. So we start with 16, go three races. Four eliminated. The next bracket we get four more eliminated. And we end in florida where four drivers will have an opportunity to win the championship. Its a little different because usually its a gross total of points to determine the champion. Now we keep eliminating down. And the four drivers who qualify at holmstead start within a zero point balance. Seems like it would be an awful lot more pressure. Pressure is always there. Do you not think of it that way . You feel it and experience it, but we all have pressure. It doesnt matter. It shows up in one way, shape, or form. I think for the four down there, in some ways you can say theres less pressure because you have nothing to protect. Its a winner take all mentality. Ive been down there a lot of years winning my championships protecting something. I always felt theres more pressure trying to protect the points lead i had than the one opportunity i went down there in second and was a i believe to come out on to. You have had a longtime relationship with lowes the Home Improvement company. A lot of those endorsements are not as enduring as yours has been. Whats it like to have that stable money behind you . They get a lot out of it because they see your car. Its a twohour commercial for lowes when youre leading, one youre up there. And you dont have a lot of other tags on your stuff. No, lowes has been our primary sponsor for 13 seasons now. I think whats made it work so well is we are a true part of their Marketing Program in the way that they advertise to the consumer. Then on top of that, theyve integrated us internally. So were very familiar with the associates that work in stores and executives in the corporate offices. So were team lowes racing. And its nice to have that bond and not only do we feel it, but many notice it in the garage area and outside that we have this Great Partnership between hendrick motor sports, Jimmie Johnson, and lowes. It also speaks to how the sport has changed and become so much more sophisticated in a lot of ways with the technology that you have in the cars. Its a very demanding sport physically. But i remember when nascar was a much smaller sport, for lack of a better word. And now it has this huge platform. Its really changed so dramatically. It really has. Our facility is, you know, 600,000 or 700,000 square feet to produce cars for the team. It takes a lot of money and a lot of people, a lot of man hours. As you mentioned the technology. We have machines that simulate ontrack racing activity. We load data files into the machine and set the race car on it and it spits out results if the cars going to handle better or not. Wind tunnels, just a variety of things. A lot of people dont understand how sophisticated the sport is. Its fun to bring people into the shop. They have no idea what goes on there. Ive been to a couple of races most recently at pocono where i was astounded to how close you are to the driver in front of you or behind you. What happens when Jimmie Johnson goes driving in new york city . New york, i usually get car sick as odd as that may sound. Riding is worse for me. Driving i would be fine. But i have a ton of appreciation for the skills had by the people driving in manhattan. Its pretty wild. Wild is the right word for it. And be careful out there. Thank you. What do you think of Driverless Cars . That puts me out of work, i dont like that. You dont. I do not. Theres so much technology, our phil lebeau has been reporting on it. You dont like that. Not at all. Youre irreplaceable, dont worry about it. I hope thats the case. Thanks, jimmie. Good luck. Appreciate it. And well talk to the developer of minecraft.

Time for the power pitch where we give 60 seconds to entrepreneurs to make their pitch and then a panel of experts and you will decide if they have what it takes to become the next big thing. My name is conrad and im the founder of frameri. The inspiration came from an incident i had when i was younger. When i was 11 years old, my best friend accidentally shot me in the eye with a bb gun and doctors said i would go blind. Luckily they were wrong but ive been forced to wear the same pair of expensive glasses day after day. It never made sense to me why glasses were designed the way they were. So we decided to redesign them. With frameri, you can buy the prescription lenses you need and snap them into the frames you want. Greatly reducing the price of owning multiple pair of glasses and giving you the flexibility to change your eye wear as easily as you change the rest of your outfits. We already offer over 500 combinations and pricing is affordable. 100 frames and 100 lenses. Welcome to power pitch. Im maggie drew. You just saw conrads pitch, but let me introduce the panel as well. Kelly hoey at currio. She also mentors startups of various accelerators and entrepreneurs. In San Francisco we have david bell, author of location is still everything. Hes also a professor of marketing and ecommerce at wharton school. And also joining us from the west coast is david wu from maveron. It was founded by Howard Shultz and focuses on consumer companies. Hello, everybody. Great to have you with us. Conrad, you are in the hot seat. First question goes to you. Whats your Customer Acquisition strategy . We do more of our paid ads over the next several weeks when well be testing really defining where that market is and where those people are . Whats the brand narrative youre trying to develop and how do you engage with customers and the history of the name frameri . Were a Frames Company that refined the eye wear. Its about going out and exploring and seeing the world. Thats what our glasses are made for. As far as the name, it comes from a combination of two words. Freedom to explore, freedom to change, and also an american brand. Ive been told with great fashion brands you should be able to close your eyes and picture exactly what that doll is wearing all the way down to the signature color. Do you think the fact that your brand is based on different looks for different days makes it harder to do this . What we are trying to do is a movement of people understanding theres a better way to make products. Instead of some of the new methods of creating better products, i think people are buying into movements in those ways of thinking. Thats really the customer that i think were looking for initially. Can you build this company in cincinnati . A majority of the optical labs and a lot of the technology for optics really comes out of the ohio area, so its really a great spot for us. The number three Design School in the country is actually in cincinnati. They teach eye wear design. We have access to awesome talent there and have great support from the state and the local community. How much of a benefit is a snapon, snapoff lens in the frame and is there any problem doing it incorrectly . I was doing it a day on the beach. I went online to find somebody that was doing what we now do and there was really a gap in the market place. With our system, you can actually change and put your sun lenses or your prescription sun lenses into your frames. Theres a lot of added value there. Is this special design patented . Whats to stop another frame maker from doing the same youre doing . Its Patent Pending now. Were focusing on the technology and space. We think theres a lot of value in the space. Tell me more about your end customer. Where else do they shop . What other brands do you admire . We launched three weeks ago. At this point its difficult to say who they are. We thought itd be a younger group. Its slightly older. We do progressive lenses and frames which tend to be very expensive. By doing this, they can own multiple frames for the first time. Weve had a lot of information from conrad. Are we in or out on frameri . This includes you the viewer. Vote on your phone or computer to vote whether you are in or out. What did you think, kelly . Sight correction is not diminishing. You have fashion which is always important. You have a company that is doing Light Manufacturing in the United States which is appealing. But it still feels gimmicky to me. So im out. You really know this market inside and out. Unfortunately, im not a guy that wears glasses. Maybe i was a bad student. My eyes are pretty good. The biggest thing for me is the paying point of the switching in and out is not something that resonates with me. I think two things i love but for that reason im probably out as well. As much as i like the innovation around the glasses themselves, i think they face an uphill battle trying to create a brand based on a modular design so im out. Okay. We have three outs. Conrad, how do you feel . Its not for everyone. Were going to keep doing what we can and keep making our customers happy. Thank you to conrad and our panelists. We had kelly, david, and david. Thank you for your ins or outs. And that is todays power pitch. All right. The experts say out. The viewers say in. Look at those numbers. There was 84 to 16 say in. I love the idea. I like wearing my spectacles. I like having multiple types. Sue . But then thats because youre such a fashionable guy. Oh, yes. Absolutely. All right. Take a look at this, guys. Before we look at microsoft. Microsoft is up about a tenth of a percent. The Software Giant may be buying minecraft. The developer for about 2. 5 billion. May be somewhat of an odd thing. This is my kids favorite game. Thats steve, one of the guys in minecraft. Josh hes described as gamings biggest rock star. And now he could be a very wealthy man. Marcus persson. The tech site which is an investor says microsoft is in discussions to buy minecraft which has sold more than 50 million copies who last year made 126 million in profit. They have persson isnt shy about speaking out. Heres a tweet he talks about microsoft ruining the pc. All it took was the right price. As persson once tweeted, give me 2 billion and ill endorse your craft. If this deal was happen, analysts who cover the situation. Would drive users towards microsofts mobile devices. 2 billion is a lot of money, no doubt. But microsoft does have 86 billion of cash on its balance sheet. Thanks, josh. Lets look at where the metals markets are closings at this hour. Yesterday we had a lot of volatility. Today not so much. We do have a 1 loss once again in palladium. We had the tenyear go off the board with average demand. Lets look where Interest Rates are sitting right now. We have the tenyear note yielding up since the look at the credit markets today. I warn you, folks, i may sneeze here any second. But it looks like the park city ski season is going to go on, going to last, go through another year. Big bond battle out there. Jane wels live in los angeles with the latest. Hey, tyler. This is not something to sneeze at. I just went on their website. They are selling ski passes. Ski season is scheduled to open september 22nd and everybody is happy after we broke the news that a battle between the owners at the bottom of the mountain to the top have come to a detaunt. Pcmr have agreed to put up a courtordered bond to avoid immediate eviction from access to the top. For years at least access to the top for pretty low rent. But the lease expired. It was a huge oversight. So the owners at the top found b a more lucrative tenant in veal resorts. It is now appealing. In the meantime it has agreed to put up this 17. 5 million bond. Bond has not been posted yet. They have until 5 00 p. M. Tomorrow. If they extend past april, they have to put down another bond. That bond is posted and looks like it will be, the ski season at Park City Mountain resort is on. That is good news for that towns economy. Thank you very much. Lets take a look at shares of disney since robert iger has been in charge there. Up almost 220 since 2005. Sitting at o for near alltime highs. Profits rising. What happens when mr. Iger steps aside . Our david faber has an exclusive with one of the leading contenders to take over the top spot at disney. He will have that big interview next.

Check out shares of apple because theyre back above a hundred bucks a share. Up by about 2. 5 . Thats a day after unveiling its latest iphone, mobile payment system, and a smart watch.

Noodles and company upgraded to buy. Up almost 5 today. Ebay downgraded today based on Competitive Pressures for the paypal unit from apples new apple pay service. Sue, thank you. Goldman sachs conference is under way. And our david faber is on site with an exclusive executive interview. Hi, david. Hi, tyler. Thats right. I am joined by dave who just presented here. Chief Financial Officer of disney. Nice to be here. Love to start off on a bit of news that weve been following. Just a little bit here on cnbc. Namely apple yesterday. Their unveiling of many products including a new payment infrastructure, if you will. We feel that guests who can with one touch on their apple 6, apple 6 plus or new apple watch can make a transaction is really a huge advantage to our cast members in kinds of transactions that people do at our parks. Its going to speed those along. Make them easy for us and them. In our theme parks as well as in our disney stores, our guests are going to enjoy that convenience. Your chairman and ceo is a board member of apple. Its true. Expect he was therefore in the loop, so to speak at least, and perhaps early adopter. Is it your belief this technology will be adopted by other big retailers . I dont have any big insight to that. We have a broad er relationship with the members of the board. It started way back when with our introduction of our Television Product to itunes and its deep and rich in the app store in content. And this is just one more step for us. I dont know what other people will do. Not to mention pixar, of course, which was originally mr. Jobs and others who got involved with. You didnt mention pixar at all in there. In terms of disney itself, a lot of attendees focus on the advertisement. You mentioned espn was strong. But were still seeing digital clearly taking, it would seem, share from other forms of advertising. Are you seeing that at disney . Digital advertising no doubt Digital Advertising is growing much more rapidly than Traditional Television advertising. Not surprisie ining given all o new ways Digital Media can reach consumers. By and large we see more of that growth coming from other forms of media other than television. Its interesting because at disney were both sellers of advertising in all our networks. But were also buyers of advertising. Particularly at our studio and our theme park business. And we like every Marketing Oriented Company and team push our people to use new media to get out in front of consumers. But we find their response is yes, i want to be in those new medias because thats where eyeballs are, thats where my customer is. But at the same Time Television continues to deliver incredible value for me. Im going to take those dollars out of other forms of media. I cant say there is absolutely none of the growth in digital coming out of television, but we dont believe the lions share of that. Thats a convenient answer for a guy who buys and sells advertising. What is it about television and other forms being i suppose print or maybe even outdoor today at this conference saying its revenues not as strong as expected. Well, television is still a very rich medium. Its very engaging. If you put forward good creative work, you can still deliver an emotional message. You can show what your product is about. Particularly if youre in our businesses, the Motion Picture business, if youre in the theme park business. We want to talk about the great experience youre going to have at those businesses. And television is an incredible way of doing that. If you want to launch a product, television has incredibly broad and deep reach. And so you see many, many product introductions who are not going to risk their billions of investment in new product off the incredible popular medium of television in every home in america and almost in every home around the world. You talk about creation of media, so to speak. You did a deal not that long ago for a company some of us of a certain age may not be familiar with. Makers studios. A lot of which seems to be people watching other people play video games. I would not anticipate that would be popular. It is extraordinarily so. 9 billion views on youtube. Yes. Of all kinds of short form video. Not only people playing games, but people creating telling stories in short form. The short thing going on in that media space is on one end of the spectrum people are bingeing and spending the weekend indoors watching two seasons of Television Shows they missed. On the other end of the spectrum, people are consuming 2 30 pieces of media. We have the brands, have the Creative Power, and have the consumer interest to participate across the spectrum. So maker is our way of accelerating that. Where does that lead . I understand how youtube is benefitting from that taking a lot of the ad dollars that those who are making these videos are receiving, but how does disney learn from it and perhaps create a larger business . Well, remember the unique aspect of disney is the acrossbusiness, acrossplatform ecosystem that our properties exist in. Whether its marvel properties, disney properties, pixar property. People, kids of all ages want to consume those in any form of media they can be in. On the strategic side, we want to be where these millennial eyeballs are moving. And theyre moving to the internet. Theyre moving to short form. Theyre moving to youtube. We want to have an incredibly strong presence there. But on top of that, youtube doesnt take all of the advertising dollars. Obviously as a content creator, our absolute First Commandment is we are going to be paid for what we create. Thats just as true in this format than any other weve had. We share in a big portion of that revenue with youtube and of course the Creative Community shares in that as well with us. You reaffirm 6 billion to 8 billion in buybacks this year. Analysts have you as much as 13 million. Why not buy back more stock . 6 billion no 8 billion is at the high end of a range weve been looking at for a long time. We have a longterm strategy in employment. First of all, we want to reinvest into our businesses. Thats why you as an investor give us your money. We want to invest it in highreturn projects. Were very good at that. And about 2 3 of the cash we generate every year we reinvest in our businesses. We spend another 20 of doing acquisitio acquisitions. Marvel, pixar examples of that. And the rest we return to our shareholders. We dont horde in the form of dividends and buybacks. 13, 14 months away from the first star wars movie. Will you see a significant return from the lucas films deal you did. Both designed with the Creative Power of disney we feel bullish that the star wars movie december 18th, 2015 will absolutely blow the doors off. Appreciate it. Tyler, back to you. Thank you. Mortgage applications 14year loan last week. Why did it happen . Go to finance. Yahoo. Com to vote. There you see your options. Power lunch will return after this. Im randy and i quit smoking with chantix. As a police officer, ive helped many people in the last 23 years. But i needed help in quitting smoking. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. It actually caught me by surprise. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. I did not know what it was like to be a nonsmoker. But i do now. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. [ bell ringing, applause ] five tech stocks with more than a 10 . Change in aftermarket trading. All the tech stocks with a market cap.
