The stock recovering from big losses earlier. Its only down by half a percent. Lets get more with meg terrell with the latest. It was really valeants moment of truth this morning. Feedback from analysts at least initially has been cautiously positive. The stock recovering from being down 14 premarket to actually briefly turning green today after the Conference Call, now just down a little less than 1 . The main headlines from the call, valeant ceo mike pearson saying the company portrayed in the media is not one he recognizes and he took some accountability for valeant being slow to answer some investor questions. Valeant said the company and its outside council have asked the s. E. C. To investigate short Seller Citron Research and its founder andrew left. The company also saying it confirmed the appropriateness 6 its accounting around Specialty Pharmacy philidor though in light of other allegations it said it will review that relationship. Ever core isi saying valeant did well clarifying the issues but most investors believe the company should do away with philidor. The Specialty Pharmacy accounted for 6 of revenue this year and revealed it purchased a 100 million option to buy philidor for zero dollars. Analysts and investors are raising questions about that disclosure. Valeant reaffirmed Fourth Quarter and 2016 guidance saying the quarter is off to a strong start. Investors are sure to worry about the overhang of multiple government investigations as well as valeants review of its philidor relationship, tyler. Thank you very much, meg.

Plus Congress Making new attempts to revive the controversial Export Import Bank. This all comes as republican president ial hopefuls get ready for their next debate on wednesday right here on cnbc. Eamon javers is live in washington. Eamon . Hi, mandy. Were just about a week ahead of the deadline now for the debt ceiling. Treasury secretary jack lew with an oped today in usa today making the case that Congress Needs to act and needs to act now. Here is what the treasury secretary wrote in this mornings newspaper. He said with eight days, as of monday, until treasury runs out of Borrowing Authority on november 3rd, some in congress are endangering this progress by once again manufacturing a crisis for our country. By waiting to the last minute to act on the debt limit, congress could cause a terrible accident. Here is what we know as of right now. John boehner, who is still the speaker of the house until likely later this week, has said he would like to get this done while he is still this charge up there, and then leave paul ryan, his likely successor, with a clean slate to move forward with house conservatives. Whether he can do that is an open question. It seems like he would like to and hed like to get some concussions out of the white house. Also moving now in a surprise move, the Export Import Bank reauthorization is now suddenly possible. Why is that . Procedural votes could begin as early as today in the house because a discharge petition, a rarely used maneuver, has forced the exim bank to the floor for votes. Its unclear what will happen in the senate but they got 218 signaturesplus on that discharge petition, excuse me, in the house of representatives and that means that it likely has some support in the house. Well have to see where it goes in the senate and whether this means the Export Import Bank will be back open for business. Thank you very much, eamon javer.

A big upset in argentinas president ial election, and it could have major ramifications for bondholders. Kate kelly has been digging into it. Tyler, some investors in argentinas distress bonds are over the moon about the surprise strong showing of the most conservative of the president ial candidates. Bench mark bonds tied to argentina were surging this morning reflecting hopes that his willingness to overturn current policies might be allayed. One key issue, whether he would negotiate a settlement with the socalled holdout creditors plug a powerful hedge fund who have demanded full payment of months. Daniel cioli was expected to take a bigger lead but macri proved the polls wrong delivering over 34 of the vote. That means that for the First Time Ever arjgentina will hold Runoff Election to determine the final winner. Meantime, some investors believe argentine politics are so complex they cant assume anything in terms of a settlement with bondholders here. While others say macris interest in resolving the impasse is definitely there. But either way we have to wait until the 22nd or later to find the final result here. We sure do. Its interesting, the polls were dead wrong. Weve had this happen in the u. S. , too. We were expecting a stronger victory for scioli. If he had gotten 40 , he could have avoided the runoff. But he fell somewhat shy. Thank you very much, mandy. Valeant pharmaceutical just turning positive this hour but still down about 35 in the past week. Is top management doing enough to address the pharma giants Business Practices . Plus, a bullish forecast about the Holiday Shopping season ahead.

In panama, which is a city of roughly 2 million people, we are having 5,000 new cars being sold every month. This is a very big problem for us with respect to fast and efficient transportation. Its kind of a losing proposition to keep going this way. We are trying to tackle the problem with several different modes. One of them is the brand new metro. We had a modest forecast 110,000 passengers per day in the first line. We are already over 200,000. Our collaboration with citi has been very important from the very beginning. Citi was our biggest supporter and our only private bank. We are not only being efficient in the way we are moving people now, we are also more amicable to the environment. People have more time for the family and its been one of the most rewarding experiences to hear people saying the metro has really changed my life. Im a gas service my nrepresentative. N. Ive been with pg e nine years. As an employee of pg e you always put your best foot forward to provide reliable and safe service and be able to help the community. We always have the safety of our customers and the community in mind. My family is in oakland, my wifes family is in oakland so this is home to us.

To investigate the short selling firm, i think thats going on the offensive, that alleged valeant was creating fake invoices after an Investor Conference call this morning. Clients were left at ease, but have still more Unanswered Questions for the company. Steve odland, cnbc contributor and ceo of the committee for Economic Development joins us now. Steve, of course, with a long history as ceo of multiple companies and big ones. Steve, welcome. Good to have you with us. What does valeants executive team need to do to reassure their investors that the numbers are legit . Well, they came out this morning, and the board reassured the Investment Community that based on what they know now, everything is done correctly, but they used some weasel words in there, and they said based on what weve seen so far, meaning the preliminary investigation, and so the reason the stock is treading water and hasnt really bounced back is because of that out that they left themselves. So i think the issue is one of trust at this point. They need to now go through the complete investigation. Theyre using outside counsel, of course, and theyve got an independent board member committee. They need to go through that, but they need to be really blunt and clear and transparent with the Investment Community and with the public about whats going on, what theyre finding, and then take quick action as they go forward. What do you think of their tit for tat strategy of asking the s. E. C. To investigate citron. Citron is a short trader and hes acknowledged hes short the stock and then puts this research out, and, you know, its not fully substantiated. On the other hand, hes done it before and hes been right. So who knows exactly whether this is right or wrong, but they have said the company has said theyve looked at it and this this mail order pharmacy house is legitimate and that theyre not counting the revenue until the scrips go directly to the patient. So that is the correct revenue recognition. So, you know, look, i think valeant has done itself a disservice early on by buying companies and jacking up the prices so theyre not popular among the government and the community and that got them on the wrong foot. Theres a lot of history here of ill will. The board needs to settle this thing down. They need to be more transparent. They need to be on a course thats more shareholder and consumer friendly. Lets furturn, if we might, the debate on wednesday evening with the gop candidates. If you were sitting there on the panel asking questions of the candidates, what would you ask and what do you think the most important economic topic is to elicit earns from these candidates . Well, you know, i think so far in the two debates what weve seen is weve seen a lot of name calling and, you know, weve seen a lot of ploy for ratings, but we havent heard a lot of talk about policy, and, you know, one of the Critical Issues that most ceos are concerned about are the outrageous debt levels. Were nearing 18. 5 trillion to 19 trillion in debt, and so the policies that are in place will soon take us to 100 of debt to gdp. Meaning our debt will be the size of our total economy. Weve got to change those policies. So i think most rational Business People want to know what policies would each of these candidates employ in their administration to get a control of the debt. I think also they want to hear more on policy related to health care and education and some of these other issues. So policy is the critical nature here, and i hope we can get beyond some of the namecalling and some of the grandstanding and get to basic policy issues. Steve, thank you very much. Steve odland, well be seeing you later in the week im sure. Dont forget cnbc hosts the next republican president ial debate. It is in colorado october 28th, just two short days from now.

Mobile banking on the rise and today ceos and leaders are gathering in las vegas to discuss the future of payments. Mary thompson is there live with a cnbc exclusive. Hi, mary. Hey there, tyler. Were here with the ceo of Western Union who, Western Union being a giant in the global transfer business, but you have an important announcement you made today. You introduced a new product called wu connect which enables your clients to send money via digital and mobile platforms. Here we go again. Western union again introduces a new innovation. We did that for 165 years. This innovation im very excited about that, mary, because this new innovation opens our platform to new customer segments, mobile phone owners, social media. The social media customers want to do more than just communicating with each other. They want to transfer money to their loved ones and we are able to do that for these kind of clients. Some people would say this is a direct response to facebooks payment system. Would you say yes . I wont say yes because we have the confidence to move money cross border and cross currency in 200 countries and 130 currencies. We can really do the compliance part in a way that Many Companies cant do. Were offering our platform to the social media, not only social media, also banks, all the others who have that kind of relation and using our platform. Whats the price and how profitable do you think it will snb. I think its a longterm investigate. You start with making agreements. I think its always connecting the customers, understanding their needs, how much money they want to send. If you look at our products were very much i think theyre very affordable. So you wont give us in he details on the pricing yet. Lets talk about that because your company has come under criticism not only from people here at money 2020 where theyre looking to disrupt the financial industry but also from regulators increasingly saying your platform is way too expense. What is your response . If you look at our product. Its not expensive. The sender faces the fee and the receiver picks up the money immediately. We wouldnt be so success sful the customers wouldnt pay for the price. The customers are happy to send money from las vegas where we are. The World Bank Says we need to be more aggressive. How far further do you think technology will enable you to cuss cost approximates. Technology helps a lot also in the settlement part, on the connection on the customer side and the data. Data is the big thing. Analyzing the data is where technology is making it more customerfriendly. The Customer Experience being faster. Its enormous important. That will make it more convenient and better. Thank you so much for joining us today. We appreciate it. Weve been speaking the ceo of Western Union. Mandy, back to you. Thank you very much for that, mary thompson. Lets get to seema mody for a market flash.

Im sue herera. Here is your cnbc news update for this hour. Just moments ago u. S. Congressional negotiators apparently close to a deal on a twoyear budget pack. Lawmakers are pushing to finalize that sweeping deal to fund the federal budget before Speaker John Boehner leaves congress and thats at the end of the week. The negotiations are aimed at resolving the thorniest issue awaiting the speaker to be, which is paul ryan. Hes set to be elected later this week. The American Academy of pediatrics urging lawmakers to raise the legal age to buy cigarettes to 21. That also includes Electronic Cigarettes and its also recommending increased restrictions on flavored Tobacco Products which may be especially appealing to kids. Dramatic video showing a crane bending in half under pressure from strong winds in tell aviv. It crashed close to a busy highway. Luckily, nobody was injured. Israeli media reporting wind speeds of more than 60 miles per hour. And a golfer in south africa had an unfortunate lie that turned into a painful looking shot. The golfer was up against a tree in the first round of a tournament when his shot ricochets off the tree. He shot a triple boeing g. I. Seven off the hole which may have been pretty good under the circumstances. Poor guy. Ty, back to you. That will raise your handicap or damage your putter, one of the two. I would say damage your putter is probably a little more likely. Sue, mandy, help us here. Are you wincing . And im not even a guy. Stocks are steady, lots of things on tap. Big week. Lets get to the floor of the new york stock exchange. Qui quite a pro golfer himself, dominic chu. I dont know about that. But when we played that clip you heard a few groans from our crew at the nyse. I am a golfer and i cant even imagine whats happening over there right now. Lets talk about the way the market is setting up right now because we are having a fairly uneventful day if you look at the tape. However, you got to keep in mind that this is all ahead of a huge, what could be a massive week of catalysts both on the companyspecific earnings side of things. Remember 150plus companies in the s p 500 reporting their numbers, including the worlds biggest, apple, tomorrow, and then you have lighter volume today because theres all of this jockeying for position, this waiting, if you will, for whats going to happen. The calendar is also deep as well. You have durable good orders, a advanced reading. Gdp late they are week and all of that framed around whats going to happen with the fed Interest Rate meeting and what their decision will be. A lot of pros say its 90 plus percent priced in there will not be an Interest Rate increase. A sector to keep an eye on for sure, energy, specifically shares of exxon and chevron because those two oil giants will be reporting their earnings at the end of the week. Now, Retail Stocks and health care among the leaders there. If you look at apple, chevron, exxon, cisco systems, some of these dow stocks, they are at least on the lagging side of things. Well wait and see how at least three of those stocks play out on earnings story late they are week. Back over to you. Thank you very much. Lets go uptown to nasdaq. Posted a huge gain on friday. Whats going on today . Morgan brennan is there. So the nasdaq has been not moving quite as much as we saw on friday. Its been largely flat, although its modestly higher right now up nine points to 5041. Alphabet, microsoft, amazon, some of the biggest winners here again today. Those are really continuing to ride higher on this better than expected earnings we saw last week. In light of that, keep an eye on the large cap nasdaq 100. It is about 1. 75 from its alltime high of 4816 which happened back in march of 2000. But there is one notable big cap laggard here today and that is apple. That is down 3 ahead of earnings after the bell tomorrow. Now, thats happening on concerns of slowing smartphone growth which may also be a reason why were seeing such a selloff in the chipmaker following a strong runup there last week. The Philadelphia Semiconductor index is falling more than 1. 5 . Skyworks solutions, avago technologies, micron among the biggest losers. Pay pall is is up 3 . Also biotech stocks are soaring today. The nasdaq biotech index is up more than 1 . Back over to you. Thank you very much for that, morgan brennan. A very big week for the market with earnings and the fed. What will drive stocks higher or lower as the case may be . Joining us scott clemens, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers and stephen wising from citi private bank. Scott, you know, the three averages, i know it doesnt feel like it because its been very incremental day by day, but the three averages are on pace for the best monthly percentage gain in four years. Does it worry you the leadership has been quite narrow and theres some important aspects of the market like the small caps that have been underperforming . We have to put the rally of the past couple weeks into the context of the year thats been characterized as i have said to my clients as three yards up the middle and a cloud of dust. If you look at where we are today versus the beginning of the year, were on either side of zero with a lot of dust and market volatility in between. Im more worried about the strength of earnings and the ability of earnings to drive things forward. Were in the middle of a big week. Talking of data, lets talk fed, steve. Do you feel the market is basically saying there is going to be no rate hike this week but im wondering with all the dovish rhetoric out of the ecb, with the pboc rate cut, more easing from theb oj this week, is it possible if Global Stock Markets come down on the back of all that accommodation it might make the fed move sooner rather than later . Sure, in the sense that the certainty threshold that the fed has had is very unclear. They put in place a clear road map for where they would be on domestic Monetary Policy if not for the uncertainties abroad and some of this has diminished. You have to look at some of the domestic data weve had. August and september employment reports have been biased down through time. I dont think that they will make a leap of faith though and say that the Fourth Quarter will strengthen as i would expect it will. So 139,000 on average for the last two employment reports, perhaps a lark with the new home sales down 11 for the month, i dont think theyre going to hit their threshold and move to tighten at this meeting. Not at this meeting, then when, steve . It seems more likely next year, though you can really obviously say here that who knows when. I dont think Federal Reserve policymakers have themselves determined when they would move. Obviously they cant solve everything with a zero funds rate. A lot has happened here. 60 decline in oil. Emerging markets crisis, with the federal funds rate unchanged at zero. What you mentioned at the beginning with the rest of the world moving to protect the recovery that we do have. The ecb, very likely the bank of japan, all of these incremental steps will help. Talking about the rest of the world, lets go to the corner of the world we call emerging. Scott, you like emerging markets with the exception of russia. We do. Its hard to paint the emerging world with that broad of a brush but were in the seventh year of a economic cycle, seventh year of a bull market in this country. Valuations have gotten stretched. This is not a bubble. On our valuation measures were at 19 times trailing earnings on the s p 500. Thats pretty lofty. Where we are finding more compelling valuations is in emerging markets and that shouldnt be a surprise. Emerging markets have been down fiveyear trailing numbers are actually in the red for emerging markets. Some of that is the Dollar Strength but not all of it. Were finding a better trade off of compelling valuations and growth in emerging markets than we are in the states although we still have allocations around the world. Scott and steve and good to talk to you at the beginning of this big week. Thank you very much for your time and you can go to powerlunch. Cnbc. Com to see stevens outlook for japan. That is powerlunch. Cnbc. Com. Ty . Mandy, the new prices for the 2016 obamacare exchanges, the health care exchanges, now available. Rates are going up in some parts of the country but more so in others. With more details on the 2016 signup season, here is dan mangin. Tell us what the premium story is. Whats the variables . Window shopping on health ca care gov started yesterday. They can start enrolling next week. Let me guess theyre not going down. No. Overall theyre definitely not going down, but how much theyre going up depends greatly on where you live and what happened in the past year in terms of enrollment in terms of utilization by those people of health benefits. Some states like minnesota are seeing double digit increases. Other states like california, which has its own exchange, the average increases are somewhere in the ballpark of just under 2 . What determines how much the prices go up. Are there controls or caps on how much they can be raised . Some states have active controls. You will see states where individual insurers asked for large increases and those will be dialed back a bit. If a plan last year saw higher than expected use and higher than expected expenses, theyre going to try to make it up this year and also try to boost enrollment as well. Is the system working . The system the website is working much better than it was going back to 2013. Dramatic difference here, they made some improvements that should be visible to most users starting today and more improvements coming down the line and a lot of those improvements, the key improvements are to encourage reenrollment and keep the new customers as paying customers final question, what happens if i dont get Health Coverage next year . Youre seeing a pretty significant increase in the penalty going up to 695 per adult or the higher of 695 or 2. 5 of your taxable income. Thats the penalty you will pay. It can be significant in some cases. Multiply 2. 5 of your income by how many people in your household. Sure. Dan, thank you very much. To the bond market we go. Rick santelli tracking the action at the cme. Hi, tyler. As i look at the board, i see 206 for 10s. I see 140 for 5s, which is pretty much what i saw around 8 30 eastern. But what we are really looking at on a fed week is just generally where rates are by country and the notion of how many negative rates are so pervasive especially across europe. If you look at a 1year of our 2s, you can see 63 basis points. Look at a 1year of the eurozone 2s and you see minus 32. 5 basis points orb the swiss. You see minus 82 and that isnt anywhere near its biggest negative. If we look towards spanish yields, theyre playing in and out. Theyre playing kind of hide and seek with zero as they cant decide whether to stay a little negative or a little positive. And all this, of course, maybe being driven by mario draghi which drives the last chart. Thats a chart the last time the euro versus the dollar was here. It was around august. Many have complained on a multinational corporate front about the strong dollar and for the most part its in a range, but we are definitely visiting the top end of the dollar range, very important area to Pay Attention to. Mandy, back to you. Were paying attention. Thank you very much, ricky. Way tonight bring your attention what is happening with oil prices. Were down by 1. 4 and we have dropped below 44 a barrel.

Colorado was the first state to legalize Recreational Use of marijuana. Norton runs the largest dispensary in colorado and is an outspoken advocate for marijuana. Welcome to power lunch. Were glad to have you with us. The republican candidates are kind of all over the place. Many of them defend colorados and states rights to legalize. What would you like to ask the candidates if you were there in the room on wednesday . Well, tyler, youre absolutely right. The republican candidates really fall in three major camps. Those that support medical marijuana but not recreational, those that really want the federal governments prohibition laws enforced, and those that really have a states rights sort of mentality. We would hope that the states rights narrative stays consistent and they allow the states to move forward with their regulatory programs. Donald trump is clearly in the no camp. He thinks its a bad idea. So does mr. Carson, the two frontrunners there. Mr. Carson says he considers it a gateway drug. Sure. Donald trump is a pragmatist, if hes anything. I think after he looks at what has actually happened in colorado, the fact that, you know, last year we collected close to 90 million in taxes between license fees and the actual tax on the product itself. Ben carson is a physician. One would hope that he would look at the academic literature and really see how medical marijuana is helping thousands and thousands of people throughout the country. Norton, how many jobs has the industry created in colorado . If youre a candidate standing up there and trying to get elected, the first thing you want to say is im going to give you a job. Youre absolutely right. The economic Ripple Effect of these regulatory programs is huge. In colorado we have over 10,000 people that work in the core business, not to mention the i. T. , the security, the builders, the contractors, the landlords. This is a multibillion dollar industry. In fact, you know, 3 billion in Legal Marijuana were sold last year and by 2018 that number is expected to grow to 8 billion to 10 billion. Thank you very much for being with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Have a nice day. Along with marijuana colorados craft brewing business is also putting billions into the states economy. Tomorrow on power lunch, well meet with the ceo and founder of denvers hottest beer manufacturing Sleeping Giant craft brewing. I hope they bring a lot some tries as well. You will hear more from the gop candidates this wednesday night on the cnbc debate at 5 00 p. M. Eastern. Do not miss it. And lets go down to eamon javers with a developing story out of washington. Hi, tyler. Congressional aides tell nbc news that congress and the white house may be getting close to an overall budget deal that would set spending levels over the next two years and also raise the nations debt ceiling ahead of that november 3rd deadline that is coming up next week. Its not clear yet what the parameters of this deal that appears to be emerging may be, but it may be that well see an announcement as early as today or tomorrow. All of this has been in train because speaker of the house john boehner has said hed like to get an overall deal done before he departs as speaker of the house. That election is scheduled for thursday. Its expected paul ryan, the republican, will take over as speaker of the house at the end of this week. The room for a deal here is very, very narrow. Now, over at the white house, White House Press secretary josh earnest is speaking right now to reporters. He was asked about these reports and he said that in this type of a negotiation nothing is final until everything is agreed to, and he said at this moment not everything has been agreed to. So the white house clearly not prepared yet to say that they have a deal but congressional aides telling nbc news that they are getting close to a deal. Tyler, well keep an eye on this. Im sure well be seeing more of you. Thank you very much, eamon javers. Shares of valeant down 40 over the last month. The company defending itself today.

Somebody out there is a big Virginia Tech fan like the host of the next hour. Go hokies, brian. I love it. We stink but i still love it. Thank you very much. Its 2 00 on wall street, 11 00 a. M. In eugene, oregon. The dow down fractionally. Oil slides below 44 a barrel but the big story right now is natural gas. Its taking a huge tumble. Im brian sullivan, sara eisen is with us from the nasdaq. Welcome, sara. We begin with that sharp move lower and something that probably determines your utility bill at home, natural gas. It is tanking. It is down almost 10 . It is now trading at its lowest levels in more than three years. Lets get right now to jackie d. At the nymex with more and why. Good afternoon to you. A very staggering move lower in nat gas prices. We hit 2. 06 today. Thats the lowest since april of 2012. We havent seen 2 bucks since 2002. So everybody is watching that level as a key level to go under. As you mentioned, down roughly 10 on the day but the month and threemonth charts interesting as well. 20 and 25 moves lower respectively. Whats taking it down . This is a supply demand story. Abundant supplies building up and im not al roker but we follow the Weather Forecast when we look at the nat gas trade and especially on the east coast, temps are pretty mild for this time of year. Thats where the demand fall is coming from. We are going to get some data on wednesday. The traders look at tote yol stocks. Were expecting to see the eia is saying were going to hit new records. Theyre looking to see about 3. 9 trillion cubic feet as a record in november. Some analysts are even predicting more than that in the last quarter, maybe 4 trillion cubic feet. These prices could continue to do lower from here, brian. Jackie d. , thank you very much. Well, that move that jackie just told you about is slamming some very widely owned stocks. Companies that are big into natural gas. Look at these moves in exxon, chesapeake energy, devon energy, anadarko petroleum. Devon down more than 4 . But chesapeake getting hit hard, down nearly 8 . Lets stick with the energy and nat gas space. Duke energy acquiring piedmont natural gas. Thats a deal valued at 4. 9 billion in cash. Who might be next . Will we see more consolidation to come in the energy space . Let us bring in david burke, senior vp and senior analyst. Hes at hilliard lyons. Do you think this deal portends other deals to come or is this kind of a oneoff strategic fit . Well, it really could, brian, because this marks the second acquisition that weve seen in the past three months. In august Southern Company announced an acquisition of Agl Resources for over 12 billion, and agl is the largest Natural Gas Distribution company in the country so, yes, this is the second in three months. There could be others potentially. You know, when you look out at your coverage universe, david, its a whos who of nat gas and oil companies. I see nat gas just a hairline above 2 bucks a btu. Are there companies that are going to get really, really hurt by this . Theyre down today but whats the longterm impact . Well, my focus is more on the electric utilities and from their perspective theyre interested in the Gas Companies because the natural Gas Companies are growing at a faster rate than the electrics. The average local Natural Gas Distribution company is growing their earnings by 6 to 8 rate. The average electric ois only growing 4 to 6 rate. Does this work for them then . Because i know at home and thats why i led the show off saying, well, maybe youre utility bills will go down because i want people to understand the direct correlation. Is this a net positive for the Utility Companies or do they kind of net the same because they have to lower their rates as their input costs go down . We think its a positive strategically and home for rate payers longer term because it allows the companies to become more efficient, but it also allows the companies to adopt a more regulated utility model. And thats a trend that we have seen the last couple years with utilities are embracing the regulated utility model and that not only reduces risk about it strengthens Balance Sheets and provides more consistent earnings cash flows. All right, david, it was a pleasure to have you on the program. Thank you. Thank you. Brian, we also got word today that new home sales during the month of september fell 11. 5 . Thats sending the home builder stock lower. We have a home builder analyst with deutsche bank. With a number like this, do we have to worry that the housing recovery is off track . It was going so well. No, i dont think so. If you look at the new home Sales Numbers, they have been quite volatile. They had run a little hotter than most people expected so youre seeing a reversal of some of that. Theyre still up 18 yeartodate yearoveryear. Thats ahead of where starts are 11 . Builder orders are also around 15 or 16 , so our view is that the housing recovery is still on track. And you expect that to benefit the Home Builders . You see this just as a pause in what has been a strong rally . The group is up i think 7 for the year. Thats right. The builders are up more than the market, 7 versus roughly flat for the market. But investors are still very skeptical about housing recovery. So its been grudging gains. Its been concentrated mostly in the larger cap names because thats where the familiarity and the liquidity is, but we expect as the housing recovery continues, we expect investors to gain more confidence and build up small caps as well. We also learned today, sam zell is unloading 4. 5 billion worth of apartment buildings. Does it say anything about where we are in the cycle . Hes had a history of calling it and timing it pretty well. The multifamily sector is lets say in the ninth inning or so of this recovery. On the singlefamily side, there is still a ways to go. If we just take singlefamily starts back to what most people consider normalized, thats about 50 to 60 upside still from here. I dont think anyone will argue were anywhere close to that on the multifamily side. Give us some strategies. Which builders do you like at these levels . Would you stick with the builders that focus on the lower price point or time to switch the strategy . Well, i would focus on the builders that are smaller cap. Those are the ones that have been neglected amidst all the investor skepticism. Names like taylor morrison, tripoint and cal atlantic from a merger of two smaller ones. Thank you for joining us. Bottom li brian, a sharp drop in the northeast. I dont know if you saw that . Because its expensive and cold and crowded here. Makes sense. Everything that happens this week is also going to be colored by what happens on wednesday because that is the second to last fed decision on rates this year. And with chinas chaos calming down a bit, well, could this be the meeting we see the first Interest Rate increase by the Federal Reserve in nine years . All right, america, we want to hear from you. So we ask a very simple question will the fed raise rates on wednesday . Its a hard vote. You have two choices, yes or no. Go to cnbc. Com vote to cast your vote right now. Were going to tally them live. Lets bring in joe lavorgna and steve liesman. I isnt the voting isnt that populated right now there we go. 22 yes. Really fluctuating. What say you, sir . Im going to go against my better judgment and reveal results of our cnbc fed survey for tomorrow. You have to give a yes or no. I will tell you what the 41 respondents say ahead of time. Usually releases tomorrow. I will say it quietly because its not authorized for publication yet. 95 say no rate hike this week. Thats only 5 that say yes. Thats not a lot. Look whats happening here. 92 . Maybe the only people voting are your survey people. Our people at home are as smart as these geniuses that response to our survey. Some of the geniuses have been wrong over the years. Yes or no, the fed raises rates. Its like that scene with jim carrey and lauren i forget her last name where he snas dumb and dumber, would you go out with me and she says 1 in a million and he says, so i got a chance. Thats the probability. I think the meeting to talk about is december and what if any clues well get this week about that meeting. Its interesting that the fed funds futures market where investors can actually price in what theyre expecting shows less than a 40 chance that the fed raises in december, yet all we hear from the key fed members is that they want to raise before the end of the year. So a couple things. First of all, i think this meeting theyre going to maybe try to get back a little flexibility on december. I think theres a sense that they were perhaps a little bit too pessimistic in the september statement and the september press conference. And then maybe a little more upbeat on the economy, especially when it comes to domestic demand. As we know, were headed towards a 1. 7 Third Quarter but a lot of that is Consumer Spending and other elements of the economy especially housing, by the way, have done reasonably well in the Third Quarter. So i think theyre going to try to claw back at least that flexibility. December remains a live option if we get two jobs reports and theyre both healthy. You know, joe, china was such a big part of the focus really global is what the fed said ahead of the last meeting and everybody thought, well, maybe well get a rate hike. Then china semi imploded. China has announced stimulus of its own. Its kind of calmed down over there. Is the fed running out of excuses . No. Look at the september statement. Steve is right, they wanted to buy flexibility but theyre going to mark down the growth outlook. They have to. Gdp is a one handle and, yes, its an inventories and next exports but you cant talk about the economy growing moderately when youre under 2 . Secondly, they cant couch the job market as showing solid gain. That statement has to be dovish and it will preclude them from september and id argue the probability of 40 is even lower than that and if im right a wednesdays statement is dovish, it will fall lower. I think its 35 . I argue when they dont move, it will go down. Joe, hold on. And the markets, to your point about china, the reason the equity markets rallied and the vix and volatility have come off is because the market has pushed the timing of the fed out. The minute the market thinks the fed is going to tighten, well get all that stuff in september back in the fold. Joes number would be quite different if we print who jobs report in the 180,000 to 200,000 range. Thats going to change everything on a dime. I disagree. Joe has given me an idea. The probability is so low on wednesday and falling in december the next live poll is shu power lunch do any more segments about the fed until they do something . Because were talking about it for nine years. Investors are obsessed with it. We think theyre i dont know anybody obsessed with it. We talk about it because thats what its a Central Banks world, brian. Row hangiare you hanging out people obsessed with the fed . You need new friends. Ill email you my extension. You can go fishing. Joe and steve, thank you very much. Time now to lock in our vote. Wow. No, thats crazy. Are you calling our audience cra crazy . 54 think the fed is going to raise rates on wednesday. Yes, 46 say they wont. 2 are undecided. I only do what i do. Steve liesman, thank you very much. Just a reminder that feds day i think i just combined wednesday and fed decision into one word. Happy feds day. Thats on power lunch at 2 00 eastern time. Thats just the day getting started. Then we have the next gop president ial debate from colorado. That is also right here on cnbc. Coverage begins 5 00 eastern. Wow, wednesday is going to be a feds day. Larry elson dissing who of his biggest competitors. And this product has been on the market for years but some analysts calling the next big thing for apple this. Plus one valeant investor, guess what, selling everything after hearing what he heard this morning. He will tell us why ahead. And we have a mystery chart today in honor of sara. The stock is sitting at an alltime high and it has something to do, sara, with your hometown. The queen city. Were going to give you the answer when power lunch returns. Welcome back to power lunch. Im sara eisen. Watching shares of valeant pharmaceutical lower right now. Down more than 4 . The stock has been bouncing around all day. The Company Holding a key Conference Call with investors this morning following the 30 plunge last week. Lets bring in meg terrell who is here with me at the nasdaq with more. I have been reading analyst reaction. Sort of mixed. Yeah, it is sort of mixed. They kind of came out saying they did a good job addressing the specific criticisms about the accounting and the relationship with the Specialty Pharmacy philidor. However, there are broader concerns here. So lets just review some of the main points from the call. The Company Started out addressing the shareholder report and saying their outside counsel has requested that the s. E. C. Investigate citron research. The board also came out strongly reiterating its unanimous support for ceo mike pearson. They confirmed the appropriateness of philidors accounting and given other allegations about philidors business, they will review that relationship. Philidor putting out a Statement Today saying it welcomes this review and will help in any way it can. Thats kind of interesting. The stock has bounced around even though analysts and investors seem to think they did a good job addressing the specific criticisms. There are still several overhangs to the stock. First, whats going to happen as an outcome of this review of the philidor relationship . Are they going to unwind completely . Some analysts saying thats what investors want. Several government inquiries as well. I think its interesting to watch the stock today. It was higher, its lower. Wouldnt it be higher if they inspired some confidence on the call . They inspired some confidence on the call but still people saying its maybe a long road out of this uncertain period. Theres so much noise. It has been so controversial. And people wondering when the next short seller shoe is going to drop. Its interesting they put so much credibility in citron research, investors that is. You have to wonder whether theyre putting that credibility in citron or there are these doubts and uncertainty about the way valeant operates and people wondering if we didnt know this, what else dont we any . Good point. Meg terrell, thanks very much. Lets get some answers to your questions, guys, about why the stock is down. Peter anderson is cio of Congress Wealth management. We had him on last week to talk about valvaleant, but as i understand as a result of this Conference Call this morning, you sold all your valeant shares, how come . First, lets tell you the good news. I think they did an excellent job on the Conference Call. It was an excellent demonstration in corporate governance. I give them an a on that. So you might be wondering why i sold the stock. Yes, exactly. Well, they answered a lot of questions, but the one outstanding issue is that special subcommittee, the Ad Hoc Committee, and what theyre going to be finding over the next, i dont know what the period is, days, weeks, months. We werent really given any sense of closure about how long that inquiry would take, and that to me is enough to say, well, the uncertainty now we gave them a chance to answer all the questions that we had, and they came forward and did as best they could, but there is still several Unanswered Questions and as a portfolio manager, you have to manage that or weigh that risk. And to me the risk now is too much to hold, especially given the sense that we dont know how long the jury is out, so to speak, and what the answer will come back to us as. Valeant is turning into congress. They cant solve a problem so they start a new committee, right . This is a company that had four or five days to prepare for a call that the entire investing world was watching, and a long time and big owner such as yourself came away confused. What does that tell you about the companys management . Well, it tells you a couple things. First off, you know, some of the major shareholders, excellent reputations, right . And as i said, the members of the board of directors very, very reputable. There were even a moment of lightness when they said that they had joked that they had been up all night for the past two or three days. So to your point, exactly. If theyve been spending that amount of time, and who wouldnt on that board, right, in crisis mode, why wouldnt they cocould with a better bullet point answer than this is one of the issues the Ad Hoc Committee is looking into . Even if they gave a time frame for that, i still wouldnt be a buyer. I still would be selling, but at least it would give you a sense of how long this is going to go on. Would you would you go back to valeant as a stockholder or has she broken your heart too much . Theres no more relationship . Well, ill tell new. This is our plan, right . Were on the sidelines now. I think from lets not talk about the stock but the business itself, its an excellently run business with these caveats aside, all right . So staying on the sidelines, watching how this thing plays out, and perhaps it does come back with a reasonably good answer, then i certainly would entertain getting back in the stock. It will not be the same company it was when i bought the stock two years ago, right . It will have changed, but perhaps it will be more of a value company. You just dont know, but at this point for clients i just think it would be imprudent to be holding the stock. We buy stocks with the intention of them to go up. Now we dont know what that horizon is for the potential for this to go up. Its more of a horizontal move right now. And, peter, i want to give you credit as we goodbye for coming on the program because you were bullish last week. You said i didnt hear what i had to hear. You dont feel comfortable with it. Youre not hiding under a desk like so many people would. We do appreciate you coming on. Thank you so much, peter andersen. Well see you soon. Sara. Green mountain giving a big jolt in the coffee trade. And another look at the mystery chart. This stock is hitting new highs in todays session. Need another hint . Think chile over spaghetti and the countrys best ice cream. Jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive welcome back, everybody. Im brian sullivan. Thanks for joining us. Comcast is simplifying its stock structure. It is combining both the current classes of stock into one class of common stock. The board has approved the move. Now its up to the shareholders. Intercontinental exchange announcing plans to buy Interactive Data corp for 5. 2 billion. Idcurrently owned by Warburg Pincus and silver lake. And green mountain, planning to import beans through import free sites. Tell me why this is an unprecedented move. You say its a big deal. Its not a big deal kneesly for Keurig Green Mountain. It speaks to some of the challenges they have had. It willing an uphill battle for them to turn it around. Take a look at the stock prits over the last few years. This year alone they have lost more than 60 of value after running up to become one of the best performers in the s p 500 just last year. This company has two major problems. Number one, the pod sales that it gets a lot of money from actually are declining and the brewer sales last quarter declined 26 . Its betting a lot, brian, on turning things around on its new hot machine and its brand new cold machine which launched at the end of september. Whether consumer are going to actually by the cold machine and make their own sodas, big question. Theyre cutting costs, saving money. Its a clever maneuver but were talking millions of dollars. They spend billions of dollars when it comes to innovation. When we say dutyfree its not like theyre going to be selling the kcups next to the cigarettes and the jugs of cologne in an airport. This is a special Tax Exemption set up by the u. S. Congress where they can move theyre moving i guess their buying operations to switzerland from the headquarters in vermont. To your point save a couple million bucks. It seems odd. They did that move last year to switch the coffee to switzerland. Theyre setting up a free trade zone. Its an interesting tax move. What you may see from here, brian, is that other Coffee Companies will follow keurigs lead. They are the biggest coffee company. Its bigger when it comes to buying coffee and selling coffee than, say, starbucks and jm smuckers. Look for others to follow the lead. The Bigger Picture is that Keurig Green Mountain is having a tough time. Obviously investors werent that impre impressed. The stock is down another almost 3 . Yeah, it didnt help. Up next, one analyst said go ahead and leave home without it. The big sell call on a major credit card stock. Street talk is on deck. But first, your crude close right after this. Hello, everybody. Im sue herera and here is your cnbc news update at this hour. Nbc news reporting negotiators are close to agreeing on proposals to raise washingtons Borrowing Authority and Fund Government programs over the next two years.

Abundant supplies, demand coming down because temperatures are not as severe as they have been at this time of the year. Also seeing 1 slide in crude oil prices. Significant today because we closed under the 44 mark. Weve actually traded between 44 and 50 every day since late august. So it appears that were sort of breaking out to the downside of this range. Back to you. All right, jackie. Thank you very much. Time now for street talk. Every day were plucking out Analyst Recommendations on stocks that you need to know about or at least we think you do. First stock up, american express. Ubs cutting it to a sell. They cut the price target to 67 from 81. Folks, thats about 10 less than am exs current price. Three reasons but the main one is a survey of costco customers showing a bigger impact at the end of that partnership than previously projected. They think am ex could lose 8 of their customers. The question is, is it already priced in the stock down 20 this far this year . One of the worst performers and has been signing deals with sams club and other ri taetail.

Trying to help you make smarter Investment Decisions and today we trade the nasdaq 100 on a pure numbers basis closing in on its tech bubble alltime high which is always fun to say rich ross. Erin gibbs with the S P Investment advisory. Rich, lets chart the qqq. Very widely owned etf. How significant is this level . How does the chart look . Never one to underestimate the power of a prior alltime high. In this case comes around that big round number at the 5,000 level which always holds some psychological appeal. But clearly technology has been leading this market higher and there was nothing in last weeks blowout earnings to suggest that it wont continue to lead us higher. However, i think we need to go backwards before we go forward. I think we could see a 4 to 5 pull back here. Look at the resistance at the alltime high. You can see we have that nice decisive breakout from that ascending triangle but were into resistance at the 114 level. I think we get a pull back, retest the level. Apple out after the close tomorrow. Semis up 29 . Uniquely poised for a pull back. I think we go backwards to go forwards but ultimately we take out the old high. Erin, do you think tech stocks will keep leading us . Actually, my view is very similar to richard ross. When you look at valuations, for the past two years the nasdaq 100 has traded in a really tight range between 17. 5 to 19. 5 times earnings and were at 19. 5. So certainly the price is really going to be held back by unless we see some big earnings beats over the earnings season. Now, Earnings Growth rates are a whopping 70 for the next 12 months for an index thats very large for a broad market index. So i certainly see longer term i expect it to continue to go up. But when were trading at such peak valuations, it can be very vulnerable and we can easily see a shortterm pull back. Maybe shortterm pull back but longer term technically at least according to rich ross. Not rick ross, that would be an interesting interview also, but this is rich ross. For more information head to trading nation. Cnbc. Com. The Buffalo Bills taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday from london. I was there. Not at the game but in london.

Im Julia Boorstin with the viewer numbers for yahoo s first ever live streamed nfl game. Reporting 15. 2 million unique viewers. Thats less than the 17. 6 million that thursday night football draws on average but more than the monday night football average of 13. 5 Million Viewers. Now, yahoo s viewers watched a total of 460 million total minutes. That calculates out to 2. 4 Million Viewers a minute on average. Far less than the millions that tune in for an average National Football league game but more than a double that a game like this would normally draw in a regional broadcast. Now, perhaps most important for the future of Live Streaming football, the 5 millionplus international viewers, about a third of the total number of viewers. That means we can expect the nfl and other leagues to look to cash in on International Demand for their games by selling it more digital streaming rights to the smaller games because their larger games have all those rights locked up about for the next five years. Guys, back over to you. All right, julia. Thank you very much. In technology the cloud is becoming everything, and not just for smaller startups. Database giant oracle crediting Cloud Computing with much of their recent growth, and its brash billionaire founder Larry Ellison taking some potshots at competitors. John fort is live at the open world convention. The cloud is causing oracle headaches as well as some Growth Prospects and Larry Ellison took some shots at some old foes when it comes to the cloud. Take a listen. Our two biggest competitors, the two companies we watched most closely over the last two decades have been ibm and sap and we no longer pay any attention to either one of them. And its interesting he kind of bashed those but also elevated amazon, microsoft, work date, and sales force. This morning i sat down exclusively with oracles ceo talking about the competition. He said oracle plans to compete at every layer of the cloud, platform, infrastructure, applications, public cloud, all of it. He said hes not sure whether dell is going to help make emc more relevant. He outright said oracle is not interested in buying hps Enterprise Business and far as amazon goes, amazon took some shots at oracles database business at its conference earlier in the month. I asked mark whether he thought amazon could really do damage to oracle with its database. Take a listen. Every year there is somebody with a great idea on how theyre going to change the database business, and, frankly, the amount of innovation and the amount of r d, the amount of depth of features is a very, very tough business. He straight out is saying amazon cant do it. Of course, amazon is not going to take that laying down. We have quite a battle brewing into 2016 over the cloud. Amazon continues to think it can take share away from oracle. Oracle saying thats not mopping. Jon, thank you very much. The new apple tv is available for preorder and tim cook set some pretty High Expectations for the product. But this is a product thats been around for a couple years, so will this new version really change the tv game for apple . Lets bring in andy har graves of Pacific Crest securities. A lot of people dont realize the apple tv has been out. This one has voice search, some other features. Is it going to move the needle . No. Not for apple it wont. And im sure it will sell a lot of units this christmas and people will go out and buy them but i dont think it moves the needle for apple, yeah, not right now. Why not . Well, theres no Service Associated with it. What people want to do on television is watch tv for the most part, and voice search is nice but you can get that on a lot of other boxes. The stuff theyve added in terms of apps im sure will expand the amount of games available. Thats not what people really want. They just want to sit down and, you know, watch a Football Game or something, and until you can get them that in a better package, i dont think it moves. I was poking around on the website today and i tweeted it out because they also if you buy the tv, they offer you this 50 option for a hand held video game controlling that kind of looks like the ps4 or the xbox. Theyre making it clear maybe this is not a tv product. Is it possible this is really a video game product disguised as a tv product . I dont think so. Just because the compute power you need to really compete at the high level of video games isnt going to be there. Its certainly a video game product from a casual standpoint and i think theyre trying to promote that aspect of it and help developers make more money on more different platforms, but id be shocked if we saw this develop into a fullon console. For investors, its tricky to hear these announcements, sandy, and to understand what to make of them. Going into we have earns out of apple tomorrow. When will the tv or apple music or apple pay even matter when it comes to earnings . If iphone profits go away i guess. You know, as long as iphone is what it is, those things are going to be ancillary from a profit perspective and wont be super meaningful. Theyre nice to have. They keep people sort of in the ecosystem. They expand the brand halo a little bit but in terms of actual profit, i dont think theyre going to matter anytime real soon. All right. Andy, thanks very much. With apple shares down more than 3 today. Last look for you at todays mystery chart. This stock is hitting an alltime high. Its associated with my hometown.

Time to reveal our mystery chart done in part on sara eisens behalf. The stock is hitting an all time high, associate with the air is as hometown which makes us think of chili poured over spag getty. The stock up over 240 over the past years. Its city financial, sinf. Apparently one of our producers ratted it out but did you know it ahead of time . I did not. I saw Cincinnati Company i thought kroger and a lot of folks on twitter that i that as well. Cincinnati financial is not one we talk about. It goes back to 1950. Four agents started is in cincinnati, ohio. They have a big portfolio in equities, so they have really benefited more than other Insurance Companies from 6 1 2, 7 year bull market, only got hit in the financial crisis other than to say they are not actually based in cincinnati. Yes, they are. No, they are in fairfield. Thats its a county in cincinnati. Its an hour north. Its in the vicinity. If you said stanford, connecticut that was inglewood cliffs, new jersey. We did that for you, sara. Thanks for having me. The next republican president ial debate is this wednesday right here on cnbc. So we decided to take a look at the Public Perception heading into the debate, what people think of the candidates, what theyre hoping to hear, what they need to do to win which is get more votes than the other guy. The data is interesting. We know trump and carson are leading the polls but whats interesting is the data showing how the public expects them to do better in the next debate and rise even more in the next polls. For example, take trump, there are 6 more people who expect him to win the debate than actually currently support him. That includes undecideds. Look at carson and carly fiorina. They expect them to do well in the debate as well. It says a lot about their campaigns when their opponents backers are admit to go see them pop after wednesday. Not surprisingly if you look at the other end of the spectrum, jeb bush, he is dead last. Of all the ten main candidates he has the worst gap in expectations. Not even his own supporters expect him to do well coming up after wednesday. Brian, a lot of this relates to how george w. Bush did in his past debates, he had low expectations and did well, as we see with Company Earnings if you have too high of an expectation as trump does does that set up up to fail in the polls. Maybe it benefits bush. Low baller right now whats interesting to see if he fails on a low bar he is in real trouble. We have a big night on wednesday. The debate coverage starts at 5 00 p. M. Eastern time. Before that, sara, is your favorite topic, the Federal Reserve, they have a decision as well. Yeah, my favorite topic and many others and an important one as well, brian.
