Transcripts For CNBC Squawk On The Street 20140130

Line for q2 and the second half of last year was the strongest since 2003 and europe is trading much better than the nikkei would have suggested. Our roadmap begins with the market. Stocks are set to open in the green this morning after the major indices fell more than 1 in trading yesterday. The good gdp number helping sentiment after the economy grew as we said by 3. 2 . Speaking of green, shares of facebook are soaring after sales and profit topped estimates thanks to a major increase in mobile ads. Profit for the year totaled 1. 5 billion compared to 53 million in 2012 and what a difference two years makes. Google is selling motorola to lenovo for just under 3 billion. Just a couple years after buying the company for about 12. 5 billion. But well begin with the markets. Futures are pointing to a higher open after yesterdays selloff on the gdp reports and claims and the economy is growing 3. 2 in the last quarter shrugging off the effects of the Government Shutdown and the debt standoff. Claims are up more than expected increasing by 19,000 to 348,000. Just broadly, jim, this is one of those mornings like the game shows with the dollar bills that are flying around, i mean, the earnings you take what you can get. Yeah. Im going to Say Something just to give you the to typify the morning, okay . Facebook is very inexpensive. Even with some of these price target increases that were seeing . This stock sells at just a little bit more than a market mobile that i would expect on 2016 numbers. You know, im on the call. We all come home. You come home after you do whatever youre doing and i say, okay, i got to listen to the facebook call and i figure it will take me, like, 20 minutes because im a pretty good no. One hour. Im going over everything and zuckerberg hes thinking about these, hes firing on cylinders that are just, like, i wish i could keep up with his thinking. This is a this is a juggernaut. I have never seen a company with greater operating leverage in my career lets back up on this. 31 cents beats by 4 cents. Revenue is better than expected up 63 . Ad revenue up 76 . Unbelievable and now mobile, jim, you know, its funny were old enough to remember when mobile was zero at this company and its now more than half of its revenue. When the company went public we decided they were idiots and didnt know mobile and they couldnt monetize it. The shoppers like it. The marketers want to be in it and the consumer packaged goods want to be in it, well orchestrated beautiful call. 6 billion likes on an average daily. I mean, i could highlight. 750 million every day. This is radio, tv, and newspapers. Its funny you mention that. Cheryl sandburg on the call talking about an ad from cocacola one of their polar bear ads in which they found the roi, the return on investment, was higher than it would have been and was on television. Right. And theyre talking about new businesses being 81 investment. You give them a dollar and you get eight times that. One of the best lines on this thing was this it was inis gram, how much people love instagram. Remember when people said they were leaving facebook and people were getting tired of it which is obviously not since you have 750 Million People want the darn thing every day, but instagrams doing great. And their monetizing instagram. This was my favorite line on the whole thing was people love our ads. They can you imagine . I mean, can you imagine anyone in the business saying maybe i like that last ad for coleman and duracell, people love their ads speaking of that and different platforms like instagram, Mark Zuckerbergs on the cover of business week this week, the headline is facebook hits puberty. And hes asked about a bunch of different issues. Heres one quote we just think that there are all these different ways that people want to share and that compressing them into a single blue app is not the right format of the future. In other words, business week ads the future of facebook may not rest entirely on facebook itself. Well, i think that they have so much data, so much mining, and well talk about starbucks being in a similar situation. Facebook can be anything it wants because it has 1. 23 billion people and, by the way, remember when we used to think maybe they werent active. I mean, the numbers here, the number of people, 63 year over year. You know, one of the things when youre running a business your biggest fear is that your expenses, your hiring, your physical plant, will overwhelm your revenues. The revenues are so overwhelming the expenses and theyre hiring like mad. They can be what they want. The market cap, jim, in the premarket is up 26 billion. Well, i hope so. Thats threequarter of twitters entire market cap. So, when is it getting expensive and these price targets now 70 bucks at janis, 67 bucks. My friend jordan rohan selling 30 times 2016 earnings and the Fastest Growing major cap company, why shouldnt it be selling at 40 or 45 times that number . I cant really pin down now, i cant pin down what it could be worth. Because im going personal messaging, they havent monetized that yet. The average return for the news feed is so amazing. One of the reasons why a stock goes up three and then four and then six and then nine over as it goes is people going down the lines and they are realizing they havent monetized this yet, they havent monetized that yet. I read this great biography David Sarnoff he invented tv and he didnt get his due, rca, but there was this moment where he was, like, showing people what a tv could do and they are, what, are you kidding me . I mean, facebook when they first, you know, came out mobile it was, like, let me show you what we can do. Are you kidding me . Its better on mobile than anything. Twitter is, too. Yeah. But this is an awesome quarter. Were going to talk a lot more about it today, of course. On to the deal of the morning google if you havent heard by now is selling its Motorola Mobility unit to lenovo for 2. 9 billion and two years after they bought the unit the fourth largest ever acquisition by a chinabased company. They originally bought it for 12. 4 billion and as we joked this morning lenovo bought ibms lowend server business so if you have anything youre not using anymore, maybe theyll take it off your hands. Your best tweet, maybe some old sweaters. People say why google . Obviously knuckleheads. First of all they did get 15,000 patents. Second they havent offloaded the motorola Home Business for 2. 4 billion and third, one of the people love they love Gross Margins, Gross Margins and thats the most important number, they go up, from 37 to 42 which is why this stock is soaring. You get rid of a of an abscess, youre worth more. They, of course, report tonight. Yes. We know the nest deal just reported the other day. And coincidentally you had honeywells dave cody on the show. Mr. Thermostat. Last night who actually had some thoughts on how much google spent on nest. Take a listen. I want to know whether you think given the technology of your thermostats whether you had a laugh, a chuckle, when google bought nest when it seems like that your that you can speak right to your climate control. My comment was that that multiple they can have honeywell. Ill follow the whole thing. Maybe the line of the show last night. I dont know how much google will go up if they bought honeywell, but i got to tell you, they would blow through the 1,600 price target of mine. This is remarkable. Nest is a cool product from frank blake on home depot, its the best seller they have. But the honeywell thermostats you can say, hey, man, its too hot in here and it lowers the thing. You get to wave at the nest fire, you know, the smoke detectors. Yes. But google can do no wrong right now. Google and facebook. These are social mobile cloud. We are at an Inflection Point where everyones trying to figure out, what do i do . Its kind of the Inflection Point. I remember when intell came up with the 286 there were people who were saying, well, you know what, its so much more powerful than an ibm, youre never going to be able to charge 1 million for a mainframe, billions of dollars wiped out from ibm and noyce who is a brilliant man who founded intel, see this, were not going to charge a million for it well charge a couple hundred bucks and its more powerful than the mainframe and that was the end. You say they can do no wrong, but they are in some retreat here, are they not, as part of this deal . Is this not a Lesson Learned in hardware . They didnt like hardware. They got out of hardware. They got some patents. Look, lets go back to what cody said, theres an absurdity here, all right . Which is that they overpay for things but they have a lot of capital and lets talk about whos not overpaying for things and what stagnation that stock has. Apple. See, apple is keeping its cash flow. They make a lot of small acquisitions, they really kind of pride themselves in not making big acquisitions and google makes big acquisitions and people like that and this is because people like growth. I continue to be if apple were to go out right now and pay, i dont know, 400 for netflix people would say, now they got mobile, theyve got social, one of the things that people apples going to hate that i said that. Look, apple, im sorry, i like apple. My Charitable Trust owns it. But google is willing to experiment and buy google glass ive been recommending a little stock called himax because they own a percentage of that. But i come back and say the companies that are in moshl to take over social, mobile and cloud. And mark bennieoff taught me this from salesforce. Com its the land grab, the 49ers who are not in the super bowl but they are certainly the right orientation, the original gold min miners. Google does not have a great record of beating on earnings, actual consensus estimate. My Charitable Trust owns google and you have to be nervous going into googles quarter because we remember it was only, what, five quarters ago they released at midday and it was supposed to be at the end of the day and i was at a steel factory and i thought i liked steel business better than social, mobile, and cloud, but they recovered. Theres a lot on the yahoo call who says were getting good resumes, too this has to be the smartest people in the world not getting jobs at google and facebook. I know the number six guy at facebook, you got to be top of your class. Sure. And by the way, its not at stanford, its top of their class everywhere. Like twitter. If they can get someone with a 4. 4 from Michigan State theyll jump the queue and take him over a 4. 2 at stanford. They are brainiacs. They are brainiacs. Youre right. Youre absolutely right. Kind of like you. No. I would never get a job i got a job at goldman, thats where people went, ill go to goldman. Ill take paper and push it over here. Sounds like wolf of wall street. When we come back a world of earnings from exxon to under armour. And fabers live interview with Time Warner Cables new ceo robert marcus. Well hear about charters efforts to buy his company. Take one more look at futures. Weve not even begun to scratch the surface of 3m, u. P. S. Viacom, whirlpool, you name it. Whirlpool was fabulous. A lot more squawk on the street from the nyse in a moment. Buy a trombone chair we do . I took the trash out. I know. And thank you so much for that. I think we should get a Medicare Supplement insurance plan. Right now . [ male announcer ] whether youre new to medicare or not, you may know it only covers about 80 of your part b medical expenses.

[ male announcer ] dont wait. Call today to request your free decision guide and find the aarp Medicare Supplement plan to go the distance with you. Go long. Several big earnings to get through this morning, first up exxonmobil a little bit shy of estimates. You were just looking for some production targets. It wasnt so good. This is a company that the last quarter really had good Production Growth and im looking for the Production Growth. Theres a couple of theres two Big Companies in the dow that spiked because not because of earnings but because of a buyer. And thats Warren Buffett. A lot of people bought exxon 1998 and 1999 and they said, hold it, Warren Buffett must know. Thats not the way he does it. They looks for longterm value and they obviously believe it but the production decreased 1. 8 from the Fourth Quarter of 2012. Thats not what you are looking for. Lets put it this way, we have all these Growth Companies in the panoply and companies that pay good dividends they dont pay that good dividends and they dont have that much growth, its got nothing cooking. Does buffett with exxon and ibm, does it make you scratch your head or not . Hes a big believer in buybacks and the buyback in exxon has been an amazing buyback in many years. I used to regard it as a bank, someone comes in here every day. And that continues. But he wants Different Things from the market than many of us. I want visa growth, i want google growth. I dont want exxon stability. And one company that had earnings is underrmer, 59 cents beat by six cents this is a new high up 9 in the premarket. Big new contracts at the likes of notre dame. I wanted to talk about where we should go. I wanted to mention on underarmor, kevin plank the ceo was on mad money and i talk about this in get rich carefully this is a Technology Company that happens to be in the apparel business. Theyre offering technology, you know, what keaeps you warm in te cold and you dont sweat. Kevin cline said he is the sweatiest man and thats driving him ever since. He creates this company thats 10 billion. Hes taking on nike and right now you could argue hes got the momentum and nike, my Charitable Trust owns it, good company. Time warner cable beats by nine cents. Well talk to rob marcus. Fabers got him in the 11 00 a. M. Hour of this program. They did lose 217,000 video subs. Other companies, our own parent, managed to get some of those players back. Yeah. This industry is in flux. But, look, we work for comcast, but, you know, comcast if i didnt work for comcast, i would have spent a lot more time talking about comcast because it was so good and people say, cramer, you are trying to curry favor in philadelphia. If i want to do that i will say that chip kelly could be in the super bowl next year, thats how you curry favor with philadelphia. Whirlpool is looking to curry favor with best buy, beats by six cents and north american revenue up nine. They moved to some highermargin products, up, and they see five to seven in north america this year, jim. They are taking the other side of all of this, we hear about the housing business. My favorite line in the whirlpool release was latin america. They got a big business in latin america, and everyone thought they should close, and Fourth Quarter sales 1. 4 billion compared to 1. 3 billion and 8 increase, i thought that latin america i thought it was disappearing. I dont know. Maybe its disappearing but they got a lot of clean clothes. A spin cycle down there to beat the band. Two names that may not be moving big in the premarket visa beats by four cents and payment volume up 11 and 3m stayed and boring as it is meets at 162, organic local currency up 34. I know the stock doesnt have the momentum, its 3m but it has a huge asian business and you compare that with corning which reported the other day and 3m is doing so much in safety and not just what i regard as being their glass business so to speak. 3m is doing a lot of stuff organic products once again really taking stealing the show. Visa last quarter people didnt like. And visas a very competitive company. They put up fantastic numbers. Unlike apple they were buying back stock hand over fist at a lower price. This is, remember, secular owther to plastic, i like visa at 225 its cheap. And being economic bellwether both affirming for 2014 alternative. Im putting that as one of my as in the dow ive got ten as, only one d which is ibm. Interesting. Yeah. When we come back, cramers mad dash as we count down to the opening bell. Also ahead jerry, once again everyones doritos have mysteriously disappeared from the break room. Now, i realize this is a workplace and i dont want to sound like im accusing you. How dare you. That hurts, steve right here. Doritos ads vying for airtime during the super bowl and thats not all, john elway speaking up about the super bowl and the Denver Broncos making his way on to the floor here at the New York Stock Exchange. Paul allen is here. Woody johnson, john tisch. Were going to talk to as many of them as we can as some of the players from this weekends big game ring the opening bell in just a few moments. Take a look at futures. We look to open up triple digits. Were back in a moment. Weve got the time weve got to while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. But if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. Prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. Because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. Plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. Celebrex can be taken with or without food. And its not a narcotic. You and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. All prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. They all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have Heart Disease or risk factors such as high Blood Pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. Nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Dont take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. Get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Tell your doctor your medical history. And find an Arthritis Treatment for you. Visit celebrex. Com and ask your doctor about celebrex. For a body in motion. Go [ male announcer ] its chaos out there. But the mclass sees in your blind spot. Pulls you back into your lane. Even brakes all by itself. Its almost like it couldnt crash. Even if it tried. The 2014 mclass. See your authorized dealer for exceptional offers through mercedesbenz financial services. Im going to pop some tags only got 20 in my pocket if you like football, today is the day to come down to the exchange, john tisch, all the big players. Paul allen. Paul allens here. I would say duncan neederower has a broncos jersey. One half should be seahawks. I dont like him coming out like that. Were going to hopefully talk to a bunch of the players in a little bit. Your mad dash you are watching starbucks in this move out of schultz. When the news came out that he was stepping aside, far from it this is a 53 billion company that is a mobile payment solution and i think this is where hes going along with their digital king, identify am thinking that starbucks may have a secret weapon, mobile flat form that could be worth the same price as the company itself and schultz sees the opportunity as too big. Theyve got an internal paypal, theyve got a play on the way mobile payments are done that i think is better than anything i see from any company right now, and schultz wants to take that opportunity. Thats my take on why that stock is not going down even though hes no longer going to be running the place day to day. Yeah, day to day is going to fall to the cfo. Very good. You dont have any reservations about that. No. Hes a hitter. Hes a hitter. Theres a look at john elway, of course, the executive Vice President of Football Operations for the ver broncos but, of course, better known as the quarterback that led the team to the super bowl. Your team. My team. Im from denver. Elway is, of course, a hero where i come from. Everybodys hero. Well talk to him hopefully about the game, television ratings, the degree to which tickets have or have not been selling, jim, here in new york. Whether weather is a factor for peyton manning. The sherman story line which some argue has now almost taken on an outsized significance. Yeah, its a shame because in the end hes got blanket coverage which is a terrific charity and he spends a lot of time in compton which ive been to when i covered homicide and hes not from an easy place. Were not sure if paul allen will come to the mike but if he does, you can bet there will be a microsoft question. The search for a successor to balmer is getting close. Pauls quiet. The wealth man. Potentially this week. Nice irony here, paul allen quietest man in the world. Opening bell a few moments away. Do not go anywhere. Squawk on the street back in a minute.

Youre watching cnbc squawk on the street live from the Financial Capital of the world. The opening bell going to be rung by paul allen, woody johnson, john elway in just a few moments. Well talk to john ellis from the broncos and Jonathan Tisch up there as well. And the futures are stable but we still have to mention where emerging markets stand today. People want to know whats blowing up if anything. Absolutely. I want to put it in context. Turkeys obviously being roiled. We know argentina is in trouble and we worry about brazil and china another downtick last night. Keep those in mind because those are the secret worry but sometimes the earnings are so overwhelmingly on a particular day and today is the biggest earnings day that its almost impossible mentally to say i want to fraction that by turkey and take off 0. 2 percent for argentina. Its not working because the bottoms up trumps top down some days. Like we havent mentioned the fed yet because Interest Rates doing anything. I can see warning the fed but why not talk about the companies. Do you have any fears that theres some sort of breakdown in Global Policy coordination . Well, look, these are all these currencies that are free floating. This not like the euro where you can have bernanke calling to a central banker and say, listen, we got your backstop. You cant. You cant backstop every one of these countries. There was someone on this morning who was very sanguine about emerging markets, dont worry, theyll come back. No, stay away, okay . Because what happens in emerging markets you are saying to yourself, this is better than owning bristolmyers, better than owning lily. No. Our companies are transparent. Turkey, youre buying a bad government. Youre buying a bad currency. Youre buying a slow growth. Youre buying a currency outage. Whats to love . Theres a look at the red at the top of your screen. A lot of green. As we saw a lot of red this time yesterday. Down at the big board countdown to the super bowl executives of both the broncos and the seahawks along with Super Bowl Committee hosts. Well talk to broncos president joe ellis in just a few minutes and over at the nasdaq Uber Technologies connect drivers with its app and celebrating its association with the Nfl Players Association one of the names people talk about going public one day. And new chatter and maybe theres some people arent liking some people lawsuits whatever. I dont know. This is not the day to focus on that. I think its the day to focus on the social, mobile, and cloud and publicly traded companies. Facebook only up seven. That sounds silly but its only up seven. The premarket obviously the action was 18 , 19 . And no one likes openings. Because people say, do you know what, i went home last night and it was really ugly. I swore to myself that if i got back to even remotely im going to sell so those people and also scalpers who had the good fortune to buy the last 15 minutes they sell. You have to let things settle down but if you care about the fundamentals which i do think ultimately will out theres a lot more good news than bad news. One of the few laggards adt, is a 17 cut. This is just a disaster. Term was 14. 2 theyre losing a lot of customers. This is a company that bought out an activist at a very high price and then immediately delivers this number. Its the type of thing my friend Herb Greenberg talking to cnbc this is the real outage, activists make a lot of noise and they left us the rest of us hanging. S. E. C. Wake up, Herb Greenberg is right, this is just ridiculous. We havent gotten yet to viacom. You said you liked the quarter. They buy back stock the way that people feel that apple should buy back stock. Take a look at that business. Is very strong and the numbers are fantastic. Autonation did beat, jim, by seven cents. Mike jackson was on squawk box this morning again talking about the inventory saying its tough, how are about the ig three justifying holding these many cars . You go listen to phil lebeaus unbelievable interviews and they are all saying the same thing which is basically youre supposed to build inventory right here. I think phils stuff is awesome. Im not as worried about the autos as a lot of other people. Jacksons got this rap, but i also got to tell you that the companies themselves are not as stupid as they used to be. Do you know what i mean . Mulally is really smart, the people running gm are real smart. We had times where i would not trust the auto executives. I trust them more than i look, mikes got good numbers. He comes on, squawk, hes terrific and they are saying dont fret and i am agreeing with them not to fret. Im going to agree with the manufacturers. You see, again, theres elway making his way through some of the posts. Its usually whenever sports figures, jim, come through the Trading Floor yeah. It comes alive. Theres just no getting around that. What does he look like . He looks like hes younger than when he retired. Hes annoying. Theres a great piece in the Washington Post this morning about how jack del rio, the defensive coordinator, basically held the Team Together while john fox was getting emergency heart surgery. They went 31 while your head coach is gone. Coach del rio, old friend of mine, a very sensational guy, came from a tough family and raised his brothers a usc grad and cant say enough great stuff about jack del rio other than the fact that will he really stay a defensive coach when wow. I mean, now, yes. I just think that if, you know, he had that ran with the jags and it hes better than the jags were. The jags were just another guy. Yeah. A lot of teams would be lucky to have him. Pulte making a stand, up almost 7 . Good quarter. We know what d. R. Horton said earlier in the week. Some analyst will probably downgrade it. The Home Builders are making a fortune, all right . They are making a fortune. The weather 77 of the country cover abnormal cold, you know, craziness in terms of cold. The ceo of a Major Company i follow had to sleep in his office in atlanta. Sleep in his office because you couldnt get anywhere. Now, you going to tell me people will be buying. Well see data thats distorted. In the meantime pulte and horton are saying the right things. Interest rates have come all the way back down and i see a lot of negative chatter about housing, i dont buy into it. I like the Home Builders themselves. I wonder if home depot will have a betterthanexpected quarter and the stock is horrendous. Not pointing out what the rates have done it will take you back to the levels where the ten year started to pop. The bears will say, you dont know anything about housing. Okay, 99. I read the releases. I listen to conference calls. Theyre positive. What concerns you, then, at this point . You said yesterday we could be on the precipice of a 6 decline. China concerns me because you theres a lot of companies that issued outlooks for china. Lets take dave cody last night ceo of honeywell. Dows down 5 from the top. Down five. But you see the ceo, and listen, things are slightly better in the economy. China you had double digit gains and thinks its going to be really good. But china is, you take a look at deagio and you look at him and i like brown forman much better but the chinese have cracked down on highend liquor. I mean, wow. Well, maybe theyre going to crack down on shampoo or something. Obviously one is not excessive and one is. I am just saying if you are on the wrong side of a chinese trade youre going down and 3m has given up a little bit of the ghost and thats an asian play. It is china im worried about. It is china. Spain good numbers. And sandanter may have missed but the stock is up. Im not worried about italy or the old days of europe. I cant fret that much about argentina, but im worried about brazil and china. The earnings flow will continue. Amazon and google, what do you say to people who want to get in front of those numbers . Look, i like both companies. I dont want people to trade them. You either like google and think its a Great Company like i do and you dont fret about it. Amazon is a cult stock. Tesla, amazon, solar city, twitter cannot be valued the four walls of the canvas like any other stock. The question is are they rothkos, not rembrandts and rothko certainly was worth a lot more than the old dutch guy. All right. With that, s ps right around break even for the break and lets get to bob pisani on the floor to see whats moving. I spoke briefly with paul allen as he was coming by and no surprise to who he thinks will win this game and he said hes looking forward to a very good game. Lets talk about earnings and whats going on. A better tone to the market. Were almost halfway through earnings season, 45 this morning. Today is the biggest day of the whole earnings season, about 10 of the s p 500s reporting. So far 45 reporting, earnings are up 7. 7 , revenues are up 3. 5 , those are good numbers. This is not a disappointing earnings season. What does move things, of course, is guidance. So, lets take a look here, under armour, great beat, great 2014 guidance, you see the stock trading up. And sherwinwilliams their guidance below estimates and on the down side. Citrix is a big loser 2014 guidance was disappointing, i saw a whole bunch of downgrades specifically at citi and bear downgraded them, stevens and jnp downgraded them as well. Whirlpool not that bad. Light on earnings. But 2014 guidance was in the midrange of the estimates and i think thats enough to please a lot of people. Thats going to be a winner today. As for exxon, the endlessly analyzed stock, oil and Gas Production looked a little bit down. Refining market a little bit better. Higher oil prices that got them the margins are being sqeetzed because of the higher that moneys not coming from the operating cash flow, theyll have to make decisions, sell assets or borrow to keep that going. Everybody wants exxon to break up but its not going to happen. All of the other Major Companies have been broken up or started, hess, conoco, i think murphy as well but exxon seems to be happy just staying together as one of the big multinationals. Finally, what happens when the s p is down on a month . A lot of people have been wondering about that and according to a couple of people, 21 january since 1960s in which the stocks have traded lower. In 12 of those 21 januarys, the market was higher in the next 11 months, so dont think just because januarys down the next 11 months mean that were going to end on the downside. Ill talk more about that at 11 30. Guys, back to you. All right, bob, thank you for that. Bob pisani. Lets get to the bond pits and check in with Rick Santelli at the cme. Hey, rick. Good morning, carl, how you doing . Everybody, of course, likes to watch how markets respond after a fed meeting and especially after a fed meeting no matter how telegraphed it is. Telegraphing isnt necessarily the issue, you know, we have sportscasters and then we have games on the field. The game on the fields where im standing. Now, Interest Rates moved up a bit on a betterthan well, i dont necessarily think betterthanexpected gdp, but a solid gdp report nonetheless, many that i talked to think theres a lot of pullforward so, of course, it will just make eventually in several months when we get our first look at the Current Quarter that much more important. Now, as you look at a twoday you can see its a little different story. Rates up today, but still not overtaking some of the areas on the chart from before the fed statement and announcement. Opened it up to november 1st, you can clearly see were still toying with levels we havent seen since mid to third week of november. Switch gears a bit, lets look at the Euro Currency, whether you look at a oneday or a twoday or year to date what jumps out at you is the emerging market issues of the day are taking a bit more of a toll on the Euro Currency along with the notion that the treasury continues to try to normalize the Interest Rate markets. As a matter of fact as i look up at Foreign Exchange today, its the euro and the pound that are really under the biggest pressure. The only two currencies up right now against the greenback are the peso and the aussie dollar. Lets look at the carry trade surrogate. Lets look at the dollar yen and the euro yen and even though they are up, i put twoday charts so we can continue to see under the notion of yesterdays big day how the aftermath continues to be some pressure in those currency cross trades. Carl, back to you. All right, rick, thanks. Well see you in a little bit. When we return the countdown to super bowl xlviii, the Denver Broncos looking to bring the vings lombardi trophy back to denver. Joe ellis will join us on post nine.

Fresh from the opening bell three days away from the super bowl, super bowl xlviii, lets welcome Denver Broncos president joe ellis. Good to have on you on the show. Thank you for having me on. This is fun. Carl is from colorado, he should care, why should i care so much, what about this game makes me root for the Denver Broncos . Why is it so national . Well, first of all, you got the two best teams arguably, two number one seeds first time in a while showing up. Each team with strong talent on both sides of the ball. And we like to think one of the games marquee if not the marquee player, peyton manning, coming back to the house where his brother plays. It was flipflopped a couple years ago when eli went to indianapolis. Very exciting week. Terrific for us in new york and new jersey and getting closer to game day. Were really excited. I went to the super bowl last year, who wants a warm you got to have a warmer clime. This week in new orleans it will be much colder i believe. I think its good the game isnt down there. All that chatter . What was the point . I dont think it did at all. Weve had a terrific week here. If you look at the Weather Report, its going to get warmer and were going to believe in that. And football is meant to be played in the elements and i know all our players and coaches are real excited about it. They havent thought about the weather for one minute so jim and i were just talking about what happened midseason when your head coach john fox had emergency heart surgery. We have a lot of managers and executives who watch the show. Organizationally how did the team hold it together, go 31 through that period . Might have thrown a lesser team, dont you think . It might have, but when you have good, strong, steady, stable leadership on the top on the football side, john elway took control of the situation. We had a guy on staff that had had several years of experience as a head coach and we let him take over the reins briefly and so jack del rio did a good job there and then foxy stayed in touch. I think everybody thought he was on his death bed. Far from it. He comes out of surgery and he goes ill be ready next week. That was kind of his attitude. We had to hold him back make sure he was ready. And, you know, the team really never missed a beat. We missed we lost one game where we had a big lead and squandered it in new england, but really a good the stretch was fine and here we are today. Do your two teams actually like each other . I mention this only because its very clear that San Francisco and seattle they simply dont like each other. Is there Mutual Respect . And its okay, by the way, because i had the boeing ceo on and he said i it a airbus, basically. You can tell me, we dont like richard sherman, we dont like the big mouth. Im not going to tell you that. Theyre a well respected team, well coached, pete carroll, and john fox know each other. We dont play them that much, they switched divisions they used to be in the afc west years ago. But now, you know, we dont see them that much, occasionally in the preseason we might play them, but, you know, theyve had a great year, number one defense in the league and theyll be going up against the number one offense. And the other units will do their jobs as well. It will be fun. It will be a good game. After watching niners slark seahawks a lot written to the degree that the seahawks and broncos have been able to avoid penalties. How roughandtumble do you think the game is going to be . It will be at high speed. I heard one of the players from our squad say the playoffs are a different tempo. And theyll be a lot of adrenaline coming out of the tunnel. But the game will settle down. Teams are theyve gotten to where they are for a reason and so the game will be well played just like the last several have been. Youre a business man. We get a sense overall of malaise, youre from a political family, so thats not when you look at whats going on with the super bowl that maybe were too goom mgloomy in new york . I lived here and worked here for nine years with the nfl and i thought it was, you know, one of the most electrifying places to live and work second best city in america. Behind denver. But, you know, i havent seen any of that. And its been terrific here in manhattan. People in new jersey have been spectacular. Thank you. And, you know, i havent seen that. I think its just a real upbeat place to live and work. And this is lets hope it carries all the way through sunday and beyond. Finally broncos polls show, i just read this, are rated third in terms of americas favorite teams. Thats what polls show up from 17th last year. Is that true . Yeah. How did that happen . And how much does it matter i havent seen that poll. 17th isnt too high. How much does that matter to a team you worry about your hometown first and foremost. It just comes from success. And we were on National Television a lot this year. When we acquired peyton manning, i think the whole nation that follows the nfl, and thats a lot of people, understood the magnitude of a signing like that. And so thats carried on carried forward with a Greater National following for us certainly in recent years. So, you know, were happy to be in the spot were in. Were happy to be here and we hope we can have success on sunday. You didnt say youre americas team. No, i wouldnt do that. I wouldnt do that. A lot of people say that for us. Yes, yes. But ill let you guys be the judge. Did you see governor christie made his pick, broncos 2421. Yes. Is that a good thing . Id take it. I dont know if thats a good question. I guess well find out. Joe, thank you for coming in. Thank you both for having me. A thrill, appreciate it.

A blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. We talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. Axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. Women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. Report these symptoms to your doctor. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. Serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping and blood clots in the legs. Common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. Ask your doctor about axiron. Welcome back to squawk on the street. Im dianeal on 96 wi le oal o a waiting for the 10 00 mark to give you the numbers and they are weather related. Were just waiting for 10 00 to come around. Waiting for the queue on that for pending home sales. These are signed contracts not closings. Okay, the number, down 8. 7 month to month from a revised november monthly reading. Theyre down 8. 8 year over year in december. Huge drops for pending home sales, again, signed contracts not closings. This is the lowest level since october of 2011. That was just after the expiration of the home buyer tax credit. Big surprise, the realtors are blaming, quote, unusually disruptive weather in december for the big drop in home sales. But they also note, quote, home prices are rising faster than incomes, so, again, those very hot prices in addition to that very cold weather. Lets look regionally. Northeast, pending home sales down 10. 1 month to month. In the midwest down 6. 8 , in the south where its been pretty brutal down 8. 8 but also pending home sales down in the west by 9. 8 , no weatherrelated issues out there so again were looking at very fast rising prices which are closing down a lot of those home sales we expect weather to affect the sales again in january. Pending home sales represent closings in january and february, so, again, a big miss on the home Sales Numbers, back to you. All right, thank you so much, diana. Obviously that water impacting a lot of Different Things. In the meantime a lot likes for facebook this morning shares are soaring following an earnings beat on the back of those strong mobile ads. Mark zuckerbergs mug gracing the cover of business week. Lets bring in mark mahaney, lead internet analyst has an outperform rating on facebook raised the price target from 50 to 76 and our own jon fortt is here on post nine. I see your upside is 90 . Long term what you need to know is this company is generating about 2 in ad revenue per user. Google is out there generating about 8 in ad revenue per user on a quarterly basis and they can take up the gap theyve had and triple it from here and still be upside. Thats the longterm play. This company has the right strategy in terms of improving ads quality and you are getting premium growth rates here, 30 , 40 earnings growth, that warrants the premium multiple. Mark, lots of attention on video ads as a potential lever for them to pull. You mention in your report also. But how long before we really start to see facebook and google running headlong into each other in competition for these ad dollars even more than they are right now. Jon, thats the right question. Weve had a thesis on the internet space which is that were going to see the online migration of tv ad budgets. We havent seen it yet. Maybe at the margin weve seen it with google and youtube, the best asset and the best way to play it on the internet but with facebook were just starting to get the rollout and the testing of auto play video ads. Twitter has this amplify project. Its a major source of funds for internet companies. But this is going to be a very slow build. I dont think it will be material for a name like facebook this year. Probably next year. In terms of when that competition really starts heating up between google and facebook and twitter for the dollars i think its three years away before its an issue. Monthly active users up three quarter on quarter. Again, the critics come out and say slowing growth. Then zuckerberg has this tidbit in this interview with business week today in which he talks about that blue app meaning facebook, might not be the endall and beall. Are people wrongly thinking of this company as a oneproduct company . Well, so far its been a oneproduct, oneuse company so theyre not wrong to think that. The growth rates are slowing down. Theres a law of massive numbers here if you will. You can only grow 1. 3 billion user base so fast, midteens growth rate, eventually that will be singledigit growth rate and it requires the moneytization, its got to gap up but the use space can expand dramatically from kind of an entertainment a sharing service to a news service ala twitter to a communication service. If it does that theres a lot more engagement growth and user growth still to come at facebook. Mark, big picture tell me, what have we learned about facebooks management, about its culture, the way its grown to this point . Paid attention to data . Stayed pretty focused on its core business despite people telling them, hey, you should buy this, you should buy that, you should make a smartphone. What sets this Company Apart in this space . Ill give you two points on that, jon, i like the way the company has guided expenses or given guidance. Said were going to grow expenses 40 to 45 and they stuck to that. I like to see that kind of expense discipline. If google had that expense discipline that stock would be higher. Second is, this company did one of the most impressive pivots in the internet space ive seen in the last five years they missed mobile. That was the ipo problem that facebook had. They werent there in time, but they took about five quarters and they solved that problem. That to me showed me that this is a Management Team that can change, they can learn and execute well. They were behind. They caught up and then they got ahead of a change. So far theyre showing themselves to be a pretty good Management Team. Thats what i noticed in the earnings report, mark, the 53 number, thats the mobile ad revenue as a percent of all ad revenue. Where does that need to be by the end of, say, this year. How much higher can they grow that . I think that will continue to expand. A couple of Percentage Points each quarter and well probably exit 2014 at maybe 60 , 65 , and theyll still be able to grow desktop revenue and its mobile and if you figured it out like twitter and google and facebook has your fundamentals improve. I think thats the great story here or one of the more impressive parts of the facebook story today. If you had to choose, facebook, google, who gets the nod . Well take google we listed that as our top pick at the beginning of the year. Its easier in valuation, its easier in terms of valuation, we like both stocks but google first, facebook second and then, you know, we still like twitter but thats a distant third in that group. All right. What a day for your space, mark. Just amazing. Thanks for coming on. Thanks, carl. Facebook having its best day since last july. Theres been a big turnaround in the turkish stock market today after comments from both the finance minister and the central bank. Cnbcs chief International Correspondent Michelle Caruso cabrera is live in istanbul with more on the drama. Michelle, what can you tell us . Reporter hi there, sara, and yeah, there appears to be jawboning by two different groups today which has at least stabilized the lira, and we did see an intrasession turnaround in the turkish stock market. The session is split in two. During the break a couple of thins happened. Finance minister held a News Conference and said on the report what had only been said previously anonymously by we dont know who that turkey is not considering capital controls at this point and then we also got the Central Bank Minutes from the emergency meeting in which they announced the massive rate hike and they were very strong in the minutes. Take a look at what they said. The central bank will not tolerate any deterioration in price stability. To this end the committee assessed an order deterioration in Expectation Inflation and overall pricing. It would be appropriate to deliver a strong and frontloaded monetary tightening and heres whats important. Even more important, if deemed necessary, liquidity policy may be tightened further in order to invert the slope of the yield curve. In other words, we will do more if we need to do it, invert the slope of the yield curve. We all know what that means. That means that you are willing to bring on a recession when you see an inverted yield curve. Additionally thats also to tell everyone Interest Rates will come down. That means that youve got shortterm Interest Rates much higher. Longterm Interest Rates coming down, to signal to the market thats what you should expect because well do what it takes in order to contain inflation. Now, at the same time, stability in the lira would be very, very welcomed by the business community. Thats why a lot of people, its been controversial, but some we spoke with one Real Estate Developer earlier today, in fact, who is actually very supportive of the rate hike because he says its going to bring on stability. Take a listen. This is not something anybody would like in turkey. But the markets have demanded it, and the central bank had to give it. So, this is a this is i think the rule of the game. Reporter the rule of the game. And it is a game. Financial policy, monetary policy, trying to stabilize the currency, it is very much a confidence game. Youve got to instill confidence in the market that you will act. Back to you. All right, michelle, thank you very much for that. Our Michelle Carusocabrera in istanbul. In the meantime, nor wagen cruise lines the getaway is transforming change from a cruise ship to a Floating Hotel and our simon hobbs made sure he got that gig. Hes live on the ship.

The company expressed dissatisfaction with its results saying Customer Growth did not meet their expectations. Now, investors dissatisfied as well. The stock down 21 . Carl and sara . Wow, thanks for keeping an eye on that one for us. The super bowl ads going for 4 million for 30 seconds this year. The stakes are certainly high for brands to get noticed. For the eighth Straight Year fritolay is turning to consumers to create ads for its dorito brand as part of the crash the super bowl competition. Theyll be air two ads during the super bowl i selected by the worlds vote and one by the brand team. And for the first time the creator of the ad that receives the most votes will win 1 million in prize money. Joining us at post nine for a first on cnbc interview is the chief marketing officer for fritolay north america and simon loden the chief marketing officer for pepsi beverages north america. The doritos, everyone is talking about it, the australian one where he sticks his finger through the wall that is the one that i voted for. But seriously youve had big success with this. We have. Before the super bowl we had 27 million views of our ads, weve had a super bowl before the super bowl its so much fun. Is that something new where you have to have a pregame show for the ads before the super bowl . I tell you. You talked a little bit about the cost of the super bowl, right . You have to make this an ongoing relationship. Thats the way you get the return on investment, the best part is when youre part of a broader pepsico portfolio and ive got my partner here you have to leverage the entire portfolio to get the return on investment. I was looking at some of the ads that will be coming to the super bowl from pepsi. You got pepsi and mountain dew, a few of those, how do you pick the ones in the portfolio that get the airtime at the super bowl, why not fritolays and tostitos . We have a fantastic portfolio and if you look at our relationship with the nfl 30 years in the making weve had gatorade association, we have frito, wve pepsi, we have doritos and now we have mountain dew. We were launching a second stage of kickstart this year and the pregame which is almost as big as the game itself will feature a brandnew diet dew campaign and a Kickstart Campaign and were feeling really good about that. Halftime for pepsi, the center of music and sports culture is where it will be. Its a 12minute commercial and we started this campaign four or five weeks ago. We had the grammys event where we had the commercial bringing football to music. This year this weekend, bringing music back to football, were excited about the bruno mars campaign. We have a 30year relationship with the envelope and every part of our portfolio because we have this unbelievable portfolio, you really get to leverage the sponsorship. Whats the payoff, how do you judge whether its a success because clearly its costing you millions and millions of dollars . As ann said its a relationship thats multiyear and its also multimonth. We start our work with the nfl at the combine all the way to the super bowl, if you go anywhere in manhattan, in fact, across the country right now, you go to dwayne reid, youll see lays and pepsi executed together. Do you see a bump in sales ahead of the super bowl . Absolutely. We measure ad effectiveness, we measure it on our sales and Share Performance and because we have such rigorous understanding of how this builds our business, we know its the right investment to make. Absolutely. You mentioned the halftime show and all of this. Are there other platforms you are levrm ieraging less because youre putting so much into the nfl . In todays world its about the social media, were levrm i leveraging more of the multiscreen world by taking the sponsorship from the combine and super bowl and the earned and unearned media that we get as a part of this is actually exploding. Not only can you not think about advertising on the game on its own. Anns advertise ling had 27 miln views. Is social so strong that you dont need the ad at the super bowl. The marriage between the two is important. You need that averager and that stage and buildup. Its, like, christmas, its the day you unwrap the presents but the buildup to it is really what its all about. Its the Biggest Party occasion that youve got and thats the best part of this. You got pepsi and tostitos at a party and you go to a Convenience Store you have dew and doritos and you go to a restaurant, you have it all. Sabra hummus, is that changing the equation . Quaker involved in the play 60 campaign with the nfl. People are healthier. Absolutely. The full portfolio is on display this weekend. You have four mountain dew spots. We do. Is this a really big area of growth . Mountain dew is the most successful in the u. S. Over the last few years. Carbonated soft drinks. The biggest launch last year. Biggest. Do you know what, weve gotten two new flavors outside your stores today being launched as we speak and we figured why not bring it to life before the super bowl so for the first time in ten years mountain dew is back on the super bowl. Fantastic new flavors. Fantastic. Say hi to bruno for us. Absolutely, absolutely, well see him this evening. Absolutely. Bruno, i dont know brunos no beyonce.

Joining us now is Real Estate Broker to the superrich dolly lenz. Tell us roughly or maybe exactly where the place are. The indiana colts house in carmel, indiana, which is a really nice suburb of indiana. And the Pittsburgh Steelers house is in chapel fox chapel which is outside pennsylvania, great, great house. The brick behemoth where Morgan Brennan was clearly the winner. There was a theater, come on. A theater, a super custom home, everything in that house looks like it was made for a megabillionaire. It is so beautifully done. Those markets talk to me about taxes, how expensive it is to have a home there. Thats the big issue. So, in carmel, the taxes on that house are 8,300 8,300 a year. Wow. Which actually isnt bad. No, its pretty good. Exactly. And pittsburgh, right, the pittsburgh house, which is in is 25,000 a year. 25,000. That is the highest of all the houses that weve selected for today. So, i have to tell you, thats really, really an issue for most people you talk about, you know, 2,000 a month, just taxes. Is there super bowl impact on real estate prices . You know, thats a great question. You know, there is to the extent where new money is going into areas because theyre building new stadiums such as San Francisco. So, that whole area is now changed and fabulous as a result of bowls being played there. So, thats terrific. Im going to guess you the indiana house. Well, i think i agree with both of you, we all prefer morgan and the indiana house. Everybodys like morgan wins, morgan wins, morgan wins yeah, come on. But seriously, 5 1 2 bathrooms, that brick house is beautiful. Ill tell you, first all, its a custom house, its a gorgeous house, its in a terrifiche taxes are a third. How can you beat that house . In that competition, it was pretty easy. 5 1 2 bathrooms in new york city for that price. Not waiting in line. You are not favoring the colts necessarily over the steelers . Me . Yeah. I cant say. You literally cannot say. Dolly, thank you, as always. Thank you. The indiana home will win round two.

Breaking news from the energy department, im Sharon Emerson at the nymex, were looking at Natural Gas Storage levels that fell by 230 billion cubic feet in the last week down by 230 billion cubic feet. We are looking at Natural Gas Prices right now that have come off of it. Were down about 32 cents from the highs we saw or the Closing Price we had yesterday that was a 10 jump in one day, but we have seen prices coming down here this morning even ahead of this release. We are still looking at record levels of demand for natural gas because of the extreme cold temperatures that were seeing. There are some that are predicting that we will have at the end of this winter a sixmonth low in terms of the supply of natural gas, in terms of that number. Its going to be somewhere around 1. 2 trillion cubic feet. Were also continuing to watch what is happening in terms of the volatility that were seeing with the now march contract. The volatility we saw yesterday had somewhat to do with the fact that it was the expiration of a contract traders are saying but were still looking at the bullish bets here natural gas at the highest level weve seen since some speculators in about eight years. A lot of volatility in this marketplace. Back to you. Fourth quarter gdp came in at 3. 2 this morning helped by a healthy uptick in Consumer Spending. Steve liesman, you think the number is better than it looks . It could be, the 3. 2 growth reported this month by the government generated positive commentary many saying it shows underlying momentum this year because the economy overcame significant drags last year. The growth comes after a 4. 1 pop in the third quarter. Everyone thought that would generate payback. Well, it didnt. Instead the u. S. Generated the best second half of growth since 2003 thanks to dan greenhouse of ptig for that stat. Heres how we got here, Consumer Spending up 3. 3 and Business Investment was down a little bit but not bad at 3. 8 and exports surging and housing down perhaps weather related and a huge decline in federal Government Spending likely the result of the Government Shutdown. Capital economics saying when we take into account the nearly threeweek federal shutdown at the start of the quarter and the 3. 2 gdp growth is pretty impressive they say. Strong headline, growth but inventory and Foreign Trade boosts are not sustainable, so theyre worried over there that well pay back in the First Quarter for that but bmo said Fourth Quarter Economic Growth justifies the feds move to pare its bond purchases and pnc with the economy firing on all cylinders this year will be noticeably stronger than in 2013. The fed mentioned specifically the idea that the economy had done well despite the fiscal drag. Suggesting this was in line with the kind of growth they were looking for. Fourth First Quarter forecasts that im seeing, guys, running about 2. 6 . But probably some decent questions about the weather and whether or not they impact the First Quarter. Sara . All right, a lot of optimism out there about the u. S. Economy. Steve liesman, good to see you. Certainly stock markets getting a lift from the gdp numbers and the dow and s p and nasdaq all in the green. As you can see all morning long following yesterdays selloff. Lets bring in a pair of experts, the chief investment strategist and chad morganlander portfolio manager, and mark, ill start with uf. The United States looks like its weathering this emerging markets and overall storm pretty nicely as we get used to a world with less Federal Reserve life support. Is the u. S. Where you want to be . I think its among places you want to be. I do think actually youre seeing positive numbers coming out of europe that is building repeat performance that i think also that makes the european area as an Investment Community a place you want to be as well, but on balance we do think the u. S. Equity market while fairly priced from a valuation perspective will return a reasonable rate of return to investors in 2014 and overcome what is probably going to be a more volatile year than last year and maybe were in the midst of a correction which we think is a buyable opportunity as opposed to something to fear. All right. Thats optimistic. Chad, do you agree . U. S. And europe, a shift to the developed world from the developing world in terms of stock markets . Yeah. I have to agree with that. The u. S. Economy is growing at a nice clip. Our expectation for 2014 is a 3 handle on gdp. We do believe the equity markets in the United States as well as within europe will be in the plus column by 5 to 10 next year or this year. The one worry that we have is the market has been riding this liquidity wave courtesy of the Federal Reserve. We believe that once they start to pare back which theyve been doing youre starting to see stress in various externalities in the financial system, ie, in the emerging markets and wed take the tradeoff, but a 5 to 10 correction from here on in over the next couple months should be something that should be expected, wed move to higher ground, go with Higher Quality inve investments, in particular on the equity side as well as on the fixed income side. Hey, mark, you know, the gdp looked great, but i just wonder if we see sustained weakness in durables or capx would it do anything to change your thesis . It would a little bit, carl, because part of it is not only global synchronization but part of the driver is Capital Spending revival. We know the average age of Capital Stock in the United States is at a point that historically has ignited Capital Spending sprees and we think obviously with the now some of the fisc issues behind us, the political dysfunction seemingly behind us for the most part, that that should ignite spirits and as a consequence drives whats been largely lot of from the economy now for about 18 months. That said, that most recent durable goods orders coupled with the core capital goods orders embedded in it was not indicative of a strong uptick in business spending. Its still being deferred as opposed to being enacted and an undermine of that i think will trim a little bit off of our u. S. Economic expectations. Obviously the important driver remains the consumer and so thats why it is important to see that personal consumption number inside this mornings gdp report being rather robust. If we are going to get used to a period of more volatility, more wild swings in this market, how do you discriminate between sectors and stocks . Which ones look safe to you . For us consumer discretion y discretionary, wed look at a company like walmart in regards to technology. You want to go with the big the big megacap stocks, so look there towards a company like oracle and in can be when it comes to other investments in regard to fixed income, i would particularly go towards highgrade investment corporate bonds. You want to perhaps move away from the high yield companies on the fixed income side of this. Mark, what about you . What do you like . Sara, we remain in a procyclical modality, which is to say we like the sectors, one, that should benefit from a Capital Spending spree which would be businessfacing technology companies, industrials. In addition to that, we would be long financials as we belief, again, they should benefit from better domestic conditions and continue to pivot more of our investment portfolios to nonu. S. Equities to euro area and japan and we think will pose rewarding for 2014 if similar not by order of magnitude as in 2013. All right, gentlemen, the dow up 83 points as we speak. S p and nasdaq as well. Mark and chad, thanks for joining us this morning. Thank you. Thanks. On that, lets get over to get a quick market flash here. Well, were seeing this rebound in the market but take a look at newstar, thats not getting hit hard this morning the company which routes phone calls and managing databases for north American Telecom carriers forecasts fullyear profits below estimates. The company gave an update on the status of the bidding process for the Telecom Industry database which raised worries its contract renewal might be in jeopardy, it tamakes it possibl to take your phone number with you if you change or move carriers, carl . As you probably know the super bowl is only a few days away but the party in new york has already started. One of the biggest parties is expected to be here at the Bud Light Hotel which is actually a floating cruise ship on the hudson river. Were going to go live to the hotel with the vp of bud light.

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes its a look at super bowl boulevard in midtown manhattan in time for the super bowl a new hotel is opening in the big apple on the high seas, Norwegian Cruise Lines newest ship the getaway will be docked on the hudson river and will accommodate 4,000 guests over the course of the Super Bowl Weekend and lets get to simon hobbs on the Bud Light Hotel aboard the norwegian cruise ship. Hey, simon. Reporter in what they call the haven, the luxury top deck of that particular cruise ship. I have the guy who reckons hes created the ultimate super bowl experience for those 4,000 people, rob mccarthy the Vice President of bud light brands for anheuserbusch. Good morning. Good morning. Reporter why did you decide you would hire a ship for the Bud Light Hotel . Its a great question. When the nfl decided to come to manhattan, new york, and new jersey, they gave us a challenge, how do you make a mark in new york city . And among many ideas the crazy one came up why dont we get the biggest cruise ship and park it beside the uss intrepid. Reporter and you have a live concert with the faa fighters and run dmc, its exclusive all the way. Weve never done it this big. Reporter you are branding it a place where lucky customers will end up as a result of checking their bar codes. I imagine there will be an awful lot of anheuserbusch executives on board here. Whats the split . There are a lot of guests, anheuserbusch guests, a lot of our retailers are here. We do have consumer winners that have checked their bar codes and won trips through radio stations, online. But really everyone here is the vip and we are the host. Reporter its obviously part of a Huge Campaign for you. Lets talk about the advertising slots for a moment which i think is selling upwards of 4 million for 30 seconds. I dont know how much you paid for yours, i do know youve got a teaser with don cheadle and a llama. We do. Reporter is it true . I think the tag line is whatever is coming. Whatever is coming is the teaser. The tag line is bud light, the perfect beer for whatever happens. Reporter well done. Is it true that you paid Arnold Schwarzenegger to sip bud light through that commercial . I cant tell you what we paid him. I can tell you that was exaggerated. Reporter what about generally the branding overall . I understand that the instore branding can drive people towards buying the beer . But do the ads actually work or is it just bravado, you have to be out there the same as everybody else . With the superbowl the ads are the destination much like the game, we use our time to tell a story and tell a message but to also get people interested in bud light well beyond what they see in the game. Reporter what about the online strategy because i read you fade google paid google to searches, last night you were one or two, but this morning you were kia and audi and bmw. It goes up and down and its realtime investing we decided to grab things trending and push them, and when Something Else comes well grab it. Were working closely with google and twitter and facebook to bring everything together and youre absolutely right, what bud light does in the super bowl, we need it to live online bigger. Reporter what about the day itself . Does it matter that might be 40 degrees, for example . Does it matter that apparently ticket prices are plunging because you got two kind of western teams that maybe the fans arent traveling . Does all that matter or is it broadly irrelevant to you guys at the end of the day . The super bowl game will be a sellout and we have the best teams in the country celebrating and even though we are out in the cold, were selfcontained. We wont be going in the hot tub, but we are right beside the intrepid and across the street from the event space and pretty incredible for bud light guests. Reporter seahawks or broncos . Manning, all the way. Reporter its nice to meet you. Thank you very much for hosting us here. Thank you. Reporter its the Vice President for but ligd light br. Its an incredible experience and ill bring you something to show you what it was like. Thank you. It looks like a lot of fun. Have fun out there, simon, and stay warm. Make sure you keep it here because in the next hour well have an exclusive interview with Time Warner Cable chairman and ceo robert marcus, a whole lot more, thats coming up later on squawk on the street.

[woman]dont touch my side lets go to chilly chicago to the cme group, Rick Santelli with the santelli exchange. Good morning, rick. Good morning. Well, weve seen another bit of housing data that didnt look spectacular and i know there are potentially weather issues, but theres also seasonal adjustments take it month over on december pending home sales released not too long ago down 6 year over year. Definitely something to add into the hopper after seeing weak existing home sales and some of the other metrics. One thing i want to point out. Lumber prices today at the cme are up the 10 limit. As you look at the chart you can clearly see it isnt breaking out of those recent tops right now, but it is getting closer. Now, when you try to equate lumber to housing you know many like to look for a sixmonth lag, keep that important safety tip in mind. Lets look another commodity, natural gas. It is the rave. Every newsletter, two thirds of them have been wrong, its going up in impressive fax as of late as you can see on the chart. Open the chart up to one year and it gives you better perspective. Lets contrast that perspective with another form of energy. Or bon, you know, gasoline, the liquid form that you get at the gas station. Lets look at that chart. Thats been going down. Which brings me to the main point of what id like to discuss. We have the state of the union speech. The president talked about how hes enamored with natural gas. Im paraphrasing but hes going to do everything that he can with that phone in hand to make it better, make different parts of the industry. Maybe more filling stations although if you have natgas in your house you can put a filling station right in your garage. The point is, you know, im not buying it. The administration hasnt been very fossil friendly with energy. We all know that windmills and solar might be a great idea. They were a great idea when i was in grammar school. But if we need a bridge, were going to need a long bridge. We need to be realistic about it. The real point here is, is that honda has been making a natgas vehicle for years. Heres what i give the natgas vehicle for honda, i gave it an f. Why do i give it an f . Because you can only run it on natural gas. I give daimlerchrysler and even more importantly i give ford major kudos because theyre coming up with cars that have this. Its a little button. Its on the dashboard. You hit it. When you hit it you can run on natural gas or you can run on regular gas. I did a conversion years ago. Its not that hard. Same 150 that ford is going to be bringing. The point of this is, choice, choice, underline choice. Well, when natgas was cheap, you hit the button for natunat natg. When gasoline is cheaper you hit the button for gasoline. Give the consume area choice. I dont know if mr. Tesla is going to elon musk is going to to sell cars to china. I know the media loves this stuff. In the end, no matter how little sponsorship dual vehicles get makes sense. When things like sense they will crawl to the surface no mat whole is really believing and who isnt. Back to you. Rick santelli who has forgotten more about cars than most people will ever know. Rick, thanks a lot for that. Lets send it over to seema and the dow 71. Carl, look at this big mover underarmour moving higher. Better than expected 40 quarter earnings registering strong sales of fleeces and cold gear infrared clothing line. Heres a programming note. Ceo will be a guest on closing bell this afternoon at 4 00 p. M. Eastern time. Carl . Seema, thanks. The super bowl does kick off in a few days but is it a coincidence that both teams come from states where marijuana is legal . It is called the super bowl after all some people are calling it the pot bowl or the bowl bowl. The bud bowl. Well tell you some of the best nicknames for this years game when we come back.

Thats not stopping people from coming up with interesting big names for the big game. Jane wells has the best of them live from los angeles. Carl, im calling it the stupor bowl. Party sunday across washington and colorado, careful of the brownie. In seattle it smells Like Team Spirit for the seahawks where a state where Recreational Cannabis is illegal and in denver theyre hope for a Rocky Mountain high sfooif in the broncos win sunday. Of course, if youre going to the game you cannot bring your marijuana across state lines into new jersey. No medical marijuana is legal there but very restricted. Dont let the facts get in the way of the story. Some suggested renaming Metlife Stadium and the blimp cush life, doobie bowl, the bud bud, the bud bowl, yes, i know its taken. We would never suggest that beer has anything to do with marijuana. My favorite, super bowl cdxx which stands for 4020. Entrepreneurers are not wasting any time selg tshirt wsz the lombardi trophy to look like a bong and normal chapters who promote Marijuana Legalization has placed bets. If denver wins, mormal in washington will sing Rocky Mountain high and if seattle wins, theyll sing purple ha m seattles son, jimi hendrix. I like the bud bowl. It came well, super bowl cdxx came from asa williams on twitter. I have to give a shoutout to him. It took me maybe i was having a bud. It took me about ten minutes to figure it out. There are so many nicknames for marijuana. Did you see also that college im missions or College Applications are up big in colorado lately. Shocking, shocking. But you have to be 21, kids. Okay, jane. Im sure they will take that advice with a grain of salt in those states. Good stuff, jane wells joining us in l. A. Today. Meantime, one thing thats missing this morning than that mid morning selloff. On the day wheres we have had a gap to the upside we lost it in the middle of the session or at least we get closer to europes close. Not happening so far. Looks like today is an up day. Strong day. If you see dow, s p, and nasdaq all pushing higher. Nasdaq certainly in the lead. Facebook leading the way there. Face book having its best day in july. July is when it stunned analysts, blow out earnings. Facebook shares up right now 15. 6 . Also the tenyear yield. There was a better gdp number. Steve liesman and a number of economists put out notes today. It was a solid read on our nations Economic Growth given by Consumer Spending. What you want to see, driven by trade, what you want to see and not just a buildup of inventories. Thank goodness for trade and the consumer and thank goodness durables didnt take too much wind out of the sails. Time warner cable beat by nine cents. They lost video subscribers in the quarter but we will talk to rob marcus. Faber has him in the next hour. Well talk about that and where his thinking is on that right now. But if you are just joining us, heres what you missed early on. Welcome to squawk on the street. Heres whats happened so far. We have four medicines under regulatory review currently. We could launch as many as three of those this year. So this is really the inflexion year for us and we hope those launches will put us back on a growth track starting next year and beyond. Its all a part of our plan to sweat all the access that we have to get everything we have in our capacity. Great super duty truck, great demand. Were going to increase by 55,000 products here in kentucky. Im going over everything. Hes thinking about this. Firing on cylinders that are just like i wish i could keep up with his thinking. This is a this is a juggernaut i have never seen a company with greater operating leverage in my career. Theres an absurdity here, all right. They over pay for things. They have a lot of capital. And lets talk about who is not overpaying for things and what stagnation that stock has. Apple. [ bell ringing ] weve got a terrific week here. If you look at the Weather Report its going to get warmer. Were going to believe in that.

Good thursday morning. Live at post 9 at the New York Stock Exchange. Want to get a check on the markets. Dow hanging in there today. For one is up 88. Number of things are going relatively right. The yen relatively steady, around 102 swoent. Earnings are coming in good. Amazon and google report tonight. Sales force one of the biggest gainers on the s p. Pacific crest says it looks poised to deliver a Fourth Quarter earnings beat and possibly raise results. Lets get you a road map for the hour. Starting with facebook soaring hitting a new record. Best day since july after Fourth Quarter results. Just how high will this stock go . Plus, the ceo of whirlpool joins us for an exclusive interview.

Check out shares of facebook soaring this morning was up even more on the premarket after beating on earnings driven by an increase in mobile advertising. We want to bring in tony, analyst at Jenny Montgomery scott. Just upped the price target to 67. Reiterated a bye on facebook. Tony, good to see you again or at least talk to you. Good morning. Thanks for having me back. Everybody is talking about the untapped potential. Cramer this morning said it has more operating leverage than any company hes seen in his career. Is it that today or is it more of a squeeze or the shorts . Whats going on . What is clear here, this is a company dialling in growth. I think at will these guys could amp their growth even higher by frankly taking down the cost structure and pushing out some new opportunities. But theyre focus and longterm growth which is something really to appreciate here. At the core is mobile demand, clearly outstripping supply. These guys are not even tapping video or new app opportunities, instagram or third party ads. Whats taking them so long to monetize instagram and get going on video mobile and what sort of opportunity do you see in terms of making money and sales growth on that . The reason that they dont need to do it. Its a mega cap company putting up this monstrous top line growth. Forecasting 45 in 2014 without these initiatives. So they have time to perfect these things and come back to the market with a really powerful product. At the course, just the fact you have this demand for mobile. I think about the being an anchor. If youre an ad buyer you have to rotate your budget to mobile in the same way you had to pro tate your print budget online. This is the second rotation. Facebook is the best way to play that. One other opportunity that the street may be overlooking is what weve been talking about is a speculative opportunity around the payment platform which could rival the size of their ad opportunity. Interesting. Weve got a lot of players threatening to move into that space. You know, we all remember when mobile made up zero of their ad revenue. Now its more than half. How high does that number go . You know, its hard to say where people ultimately move off of desktop but i would see it being a day where youre 75 25. 75 25. For all the talk on roi on video. Theres the counter argument the user might not respond to it the way we expect. Whats the danger of that . I think video is a different experience. Its really about branding. So in the way i think about it is tv is a great branding platform. The visual medium sets up the message. Traditionally online and platforms like search are closing the deal. So i think really what video does is starts to broaden the pool they can fish in. When you think about global, internet advertising its about 100 billion spend. And this really gets them out of just having to deal in that pool and actually start to look at the broader tv branding pool. When it comes to the race for advertising dollars, facebook, twitter, google, who wins on video and who wins on mobile and is there enough for all of them to go around . They all do. When you think about tv networks such as way i tend to think about facebook, you know, tv networks, theres many of them and they all continue to grow the earnings nicely as we see last year. We had names like disney, viacom, time warner, all up 20 to 60 on their stocks. And thats a function of them all continuing to grow even though theres 100 different cable channels. Tony, good stuff. Important data to talk about this company. Thanks for your time. See you soon. Tony wible. In the news this morning, google is selling Motorola Mobility unit to lenovo after it bout it for 12. 4 billion. John joins us, president and ceo of buzzfeed and jon fortt joins us this morning. Jon fortt walks in this morning to the New York Stock Exchange and says i have something to say about this deal. Critical of this. Start with google. Heres one of the first things that i thought about when i saw the news. Many people probably wont remember this. Its an ad that google, motorola put out on the fourth of july right before they launched the motox. The text at the bottom, we knew this would be a challenge. In fact, some people say it couldnt be done. Nothing this exciting ever comes easily. They were partly talking about the assembled in the usa strategy. Theyre employing people in texas to build this phone. Less than six months later they sell motorola to a Chinese Company that has actually demonstrated a commitment to manufacturing in the u. S. They do some business laptops in north carolina. Thats the part of this that is kind of mind boggling for me. Pure arrogance . They did this with the nexus cue. They said it was going to be made in the usa. They launched it and then never shipped it. Sure, they can afford to do that. Theyre a very rich, Successful Company but thats also why so many people believed in them, they followed through on this. They cant afford to do this. Hanging on to a lot of patents . Writeoff is not nearly as much as people think. 3 billion in cash. Sold a division for 2. 4 billion. The patents are worth something. I forgot the point that jon made about that ad. I think the explanation for why is the fact that they need to fix android and they need to switch the bet to samsung basically. We see at buzzfeed 2. 5 times the usage on ios we see on android devices. That doesnt make sense given android has 80 of the market. Samsung has 30 of all of the smartphones. So they basically need to make a concession to samsung, work more in concert to be able to make the platform more unified and easy to use. And its a write off they need to make. Absolutely. It makes sense. If youre an investor you should be happy about this. I think google stock is up 2 . Clearly investors are happy. Pragmatic decision are they getting a good deal . Lenovo, if they can be as good as lowing this margin business as they had been with pcs and taking on this and ibm server business which they are also picking up, yes, its a good deal with lenovo. But well have to see. Its kind of like hps 2008 strategy going on big volume for low margin. Well see if they can execute it. Speaking of someone who knows that business at hp and the motorola deal, our david faber joins us this morning from seattle. Hes got thoughts on this. Would you call it a backtrack, david . Yeah, i think so. Its interesting, carl. Putting these things in the larger landscape of mergers and acquisitions of the lack of m a that we talked about for so long. Perhaps that being the fear on the part of ceos taking the big action. This is one company capable of saying, hey, we kind of didnt get it quite right and are moving on. There arent that many other companies perhaps that could feel the strength to do that. Obviously theyve had success in the past when it comes to m a. Certainly the likes of youtube, for instance, comes to mind. But in this case, they kind of move on without much damage. A controlled company at google, dont have to worry about activist investors. Obviously it wasnt while it was larger dollarwise it wasnt the biggest of deals for them given how much Free Cash Flow they generate. It is perhaps a cautionary tale for others in terms of at least, you know, getting into something that clearly did not work out as intended. I also think that at the time they did the investment they couldnt have foreseen what sam saung and these other players would do. They would go and basically make their own operating systems on top of android which is something that google couldnt let happen. If youre google you want more mobile web consumption to get more search. Rounding error of this low margin hardware business i think they did foresee that happening. They didnt want to lose control of android. And motorolas hardware business was potentially a way for them to put a stake in the sand saying were going to put out a pure version of android on this. Dont stray too far from this. It just didnt work out. They lost on the hardware side. They wanted the patents that came along with motorola. Proved to be less valuable, as well. David, it does make you wonder whether or not you should look at Something Like the nest acquisition with more of a skeptical eye. You might. And you know, i think many of their investors are willing to google the benefit of the doubt, carl, when it comes to the way they spent their cash in so many different ways because the core business is still operating at such enormous levels of success at this point. Should that change you might get a little bit more critical look at their acquisitions although well see in time. Theyve had certainly as i said some success as well. But i do think its interesting. Larry page is one of the first things we did when he took over is doing this deal and he gets out of it. Other companies, for example, at ebay, meg whitman bought skype. That deal didnt work. In this case he has the confidence, mr. Page, saying all right, lets move on, keep what we can, the value that we can potentially at least have taken here and go on to find another day. One last point, john. They report tonight as we said with cramer this morning, having stellar record of beating on actual earnings, right . Yeah. What do you expect tonight . I think its a rising tide lifts all boats. If you look at cramers motif of social mobile cloud, i think as a scepter bet, betting on oil or gold at the right time, thats how i view the internet companies. All media is changing. Look at facebook, daily active users, over monthly active users at an alltime high. Instagram doubling the amount of users to 180 million a month. More amazon usage, thats what were going see across the board. Jon, thank you for joining us. Buzzfeed, jon fortt and david faber youre going to join us in a bit. Right after the break.

Time warner cable steps up efforts to resist that charter takeover. The Company Reports Fourth Quarter earnings as well that beat the street despite some weak results for video. Whats next for them, our david faber joins us with rob marcus. David . Carl, thank you. In seattle, figured i would come while everyone else is going to new york from here. Happy to be joined by rob marcus, chairman and ceo of time wash warner cable. A company that put out earnings this morning but also report a significant plab fn for its fut and give us a sense as to why its believed better off as an independent company. Rob marcus joins us from midtown manhattan. Nice to have you with us. Thanks for having me, david. You know, rob, you put out an ambitious plan this morning that had Significant Growth in ebitda, lowering churn, significant investment. Why do you believe based on pro previous events at the company at least that you can meet any of these car gtargets . Its no deny that 2013 was a rough year for us from a subskrisher perspective. The good news is we closed out the year with a tremendous amount of operate mog mem tum. Ourscriber performance improved sequentially in each month of the Fourth Quarter and in january we had the best january weve had in five years on the subscriber front. I feel like we enter the year with a whole lot of momentum and weve got a terrific plan and Terrific Team in place and i do believe that were on a great trajecto trajectory. I talked to a number of your investors who both have read and listened to your call in term of discussing the future. They focus on your plan to grow ebitda by 5. 7 from 14, that is 2014 to 2016 and say, thats great except where are the specifics . What davis ygives you the confi that you can meet those targets . I think we have a well thought out plan here. Weve done very well historically in improving our monthly recurring revenue per customer relationship. The quality of the customers we brought on in 2013 have been of Higher Quality. The key now is to improve volume and our plans involve taking advantage of the nir tives we put in place during the course of 2013 to increase connects, decrease disconnects. Our attention efforts have really born fruit recently. And most of all, were investing in improving the customer experience. Were increasing speeds. Were improving reliability. We think all that translates into better Subscriber Performance overall and that translates into better revenue and better profitability. You know, there are some who will say if you believe all of this and clearly believe that you can meet this plan the stock price will be far higher than 133 a share. Why even put a 160 a share number out there if not as a counter, at least as a number that youre saying charter and its partner liberty need to meet if they want to acquire this company . Maximizing value for shareholders. We want to make it Crystal Clear that were going to explore all of our alternatives to accomplish that maximized value. By putting the 160 a share on the table and i want to be clear its not just the price but very explicit terms that we put on the Table Including 100 in cash and a 20 symmetrical collar around the charter stock which we have concerns about. So what was important to us was to make clear we werent just saying no. We were saying that the offer of the charter may undervalue our company but there was a price at which we would transact that we maximize value for shareholders. Clearly, thats not here. Why not have sat down with the company . Charters implied value of the deal at this point clearly not 100 in cash and the ratio does not include that symmetrical collar that you mention. Why not sit down at this point and see if you cant accomplish something with them give reason you just told me youre open to exploring all alternatives to create value . Look, weve made very clear what its going to take to get a transaction done. And were certainly open to hear from them if they want to go down that path. The path they do seem to be potentially going down, rob, of course, is to challenge for seats on your board of directors, the window for nominations for which will close in the not too distant future. If that, in fact, is the case are you prepared to engage in an all out proxy war with charter and liberty . Look, i think the idea of waging a proxy fight here strikes me as a less than viable strategy. Any director who were elected to our board and if charter were successful in waging a proxy fight would be subject to the same feud share duties, the same overall duties to shareholders as our current board. Im confident that actually come to the same conclusion about the value we can create versus what charter is offering. You think even if they were to replace directors same directors would vote against the deal at least as its currently comprises . I certainly do. Now, many of your shareholders and ive spoken to any number of them given i know many of them, they believe that if there was a deal at lets call it 145 a share the charter stock price would go up. In fact, they wonder why it wouldnt be willing to offer perhaps a symmetrical collar. Why not try to come to the table to reach some middle ground between 160 and lets call it 132 . Again, ill say the same thingy before. Were very confident in our operating plan and weve also made very clear to charter that at 160 with 100 in cash and symmetrical collar at 20 we would be prepared to do a transaction. Im confident for us to make value on our own and thats the path were pursuing. Are you talking to comcast at all about its intentions . Yeah, david, i dont think its appropriate to comment on any other conversations we may or may not be having. In terms of subscribers and churn back to your plan, this is a company thats lost now charter will say they lost 800,000 subs over lets call it the last year. Even if that number is a bit off, rob, asking investors to believe somehow that you can completely reverse that seems to be quite an ask on your part. Well, to be clear. As i said, 2013 was a rough year from a subscriber perspective. The subscriber numbers charter are citing is video subs not customer relationships. Weve actually effectively grown high speed Data Customer which is an important part of our business. But there are definitely factors that were confident about including the momentum we left 2013 with and entered 2014 with that make us comfortable that, in fact, we will Grow Customer relationships this year. On the expense side, i think you guide it to low double digit programming expenses which seem to employ single digit Expense Growth overall. That hasnt always been the case, rob. What gives you the confidence again that you can come in at that . We have been managing our nonprogramming expenses very well. And i think well continue to do that. Weve actually been aside from programming cost growth weve been in the low Single Digits in terms of our in terms of our cost management. And to the extent that we have driver of increased costs on the labor side, on the employee side which is our second largest cost, its really related to investments were making in the high Growth Business Services Operation that weve got which grew over 20 in 2013 and well continue to grow at a very fast pace Going Forward. How much of that ebitda growth target would be from raising prices and do you have the ability to raise prices at all . I think Going Forward in our plan what we articulated this morning was that while weve been very effective at increasing revenue per customer to an increasing extent Going Forward, our revenue lift is going to come from increasing volume. So i hope to get a better balance in terms of the drivers of revenue Going Forward. Hows it going so far . Here you are, once a banker and now youre, of course, the coo of this company. Its been kind of on interesting first month on the job as ceo, hasnt it . Been an eventful foist mon f on the job but im energized by where we sit. We have a great future ahead of it. Appreciate your time this morning, of course, and well be checking in as you well know on the current advancement, if you will, of charter and libertys efforts here. You know, if they were to raise, rob, just sort of to 145, would you be willing to sit down with them . David, ill say the same thing again. Im thrilled with the way our business is progressing and we put our bottom line price on the table. Being 160. You know, which makes sense from a multiple of ebitda. Never seen deals done and your advisers will say it over and over again at less than eight times for a property such as Time Warner Cable. I do have to say when you look at the enterprise value of 145 a share deal, meaning adding in debt, of course, the per subcomes to Something Like 5,700 a subwhich weve also never seen a deal even that my. Am im not looking at the deal properly to say what about a per subvaluation . I dont think per sub is a way to look at it. As well as the fact that weve got a very significant Business Services operation. They just dont translate the way they used to when it was a single product residential video only business. So i just dont think its an appropriate way to look at value. I look at ebitda and as important li Free Cash Flow. All right. Im one of those customers. I think everything is working today. Thanks for your business, david. Youre very welcome, mr. Marcus. Thank you for joining us. Rob marcus, chairman and ceo. Carl, back to you. All right. Ill take it up, david. Thanks for bringing us that conversation. Meantime, watching shares of whirlpool trading lower even though it reported this morning earnings rose 48 last quarter. Slightly less than analysts were looking for. They saw stronger growth. Guidance for 2014 right in line with analystest mitt estimates. Jeff fettig is here, chairman and ceo of whirlpool. North america, a bright spot. Thats in part of the recovering housing market. Do you expect that to continue that dynamic into the new year here . First of all, good morning and its a pleasure to be on the show again. Regarding our north America Business we had an outstanding year in 2013 which ramped up throughout the course of the year, finishing the Fourth Quarter, particular u. S. Business which was up strong double digits in terms of revenues and really strong profitability. So per our guidance that we gave today we did indicate we expected that to continue. We believe the market will continue to grow. We think were still in the early phases of a multiyear recovery in north america, in particular, the u. S. And we really like the momentum that we created in 2013, expect that to continue this year. Beyond the numbers, what are you seeing, jeff, out there from the American Consumer . How willing are they to go out there and buy a washing machine or a refrigerator, these big ticket items . What is the status of the consumer . Its improving. Certainly, you know, when we look at the components of demand, which theres a replacement component, theres a new housing component, theres a discretionary component, were seeing all of those components moving in a positive direction. One of the things we have to remember is that from peak to trough, 2006 was the peak cycle and demand in the u. S. , it dropped 20 almost 20 by the end of 2012. So we do believe theres pent up demand. We do believe housing is far from returning to a normal cycle. And were beginning to see the replacement demand anniversary, the highs of over a decade ago. So we feel pretty good about that and consumers responding. Certainly any improvements in the job situation and as were now seeing consumer confidence, also helps our business in terms of purchasing these products. Jeff, got to get your take on latin america. Up 8. Margins were good. People think that the whole continent is going to fall off the face of the earth. Where is your head right now . We have a different view in the sense that, you know, was acomprise latin america, 32 different markets. Argentina and places like venezuela get a lot of headlines and we actually have a very, very Small Business there. Our big business is in brazil. Its gone through some challenges, as well as currency to valuation. But the fundamentals in brazil have been and we continue to be strong and weve got an outstanding business there. And so were still, you know, mid longterm bullish on brazil. Clearly we have to adapt to the short term changes that we see, particularly in currency and in inflation. And then the there 32 markets, we manage them like a portfolio. We have, you know, some markets down 50 . Some markets up 50 . On both fronts in latin america we have very good businesses. We have great position. And were prepared to manage due to volatility. Yeah, on this global footprint, i know you are starting to see europe coming back. Who do you see there and are you worried at all about whats going on in emerging markets . Well, first, in europe, we have seen throughout the course of 2013 europe stabilizing albeit at a low level from an economic standpoint and demand. We have seen more and more signs of slow recovery. We expect the market there to be flat to up 2 this year. And were growing at a faster pace than that. In addition, were doing a lot of things in your european operations rapidly improved the margins, so we see this as a we expect very good recovery from a profitability standpoint on moderate growth. In an emerging markets its a little bit different story around the world. Certainly there are a lot of markets that have been hit hard from a currency devaluation which leads to inflation which has had an impact on demand. On the other hand, we see markets like china where today we have a Small Business but soon will be a very big business as we complete our acquisition there this year. We see that actually showing positive growth. So it varies around the world. Again, thats why its great to have a global footprint, because we in total at the capacity deal with this uncertainty that we see today which, by the way, in our view is no different than the volatility we saw in 2012 and in 2013. All right. Trip around the world with jeff fettig, thanks. Its great to get a window into the global consumer. Chair manned and ceo of whirlpool joining us on the phone. Thank you.

Everything about this auction is middle. I give it a c minus versus demand at bottom of the 11 30. Well come back with ira and another option as the session progresses. Back to you, carl.

Bob pisani is here with whats moving at the big board. Not focusing on turkey today. Focusing on facebook. Two things are moving higher, im americaing markets more stable and facebook. Yeah, facebook. Its really very important right now. Facebook just passed 100 million shares. Thats pretty remarkable. Normal day they will be about 60 million shares. Were at a new high on facebook. I want to show you the higha names. There are a lot of people who play these big, bigley quid names. Look at twitter, yelp, tesla, groupon, up 8 , 4 , 5 . I can tell you this, if facebook would have missed and had some negative comments, it would be trading down. Theres no way any of these stocks would be trading on the upside. Im not sure theyre all linked on a fundamental basis but they are on a trading basis. Lets move on. Given the weak pending home Sales Numbers watch what the homebuilders are doing. While their very mixed today, horton, lion, kb homes are up. Others are not. Mixed picture. Really starting to bifurcate the market. Love what the whirlpool ceo had to say. North american revenues and thats what really matters, were up 9 . Very good number. You can see theyre still having a tough time here in january. Finally, talk a little bit about januarys down, then the rest of the year is down. Thats not really true here. Theres a lot of research thats been done on this. I want to thank a couple of people including some of the fine people at btig. Since 1990 has been a down month 21 times. A down month in january. In 12 of those 21 times, the s p was higher in to the lowing 11 months including four of the last times and this actually happened. Put it up for you. Ill show you last times january was down. 2003, 5, 8, 9, 10. Down in 2003 in january, up in the full year. Down in 2005 in january, up in the full year. In 2008, january was down and the full year was down. But then again, 2009 and 2010, full year both of them on the upside. Okay . Pay attention. So it doesnt just mean because january is down the rest of the year is going to be down. Theres been a lot of good Research Done on this. Laszlo and other people have done things at btig. Dan greenhouse has been all over this. Shattering the myth of the january effect. Look at the stats. 2008 was a particularly bad year. If you go back in history some of the january on really bad years are lower. Thanks, bob. Meantime, norwegians newest ship is cruising into new york city in time for the super bowl. The ship will serve as a Floating Hotel for as many as 4,000 people over the weekend. Lets send it back to simon hobbs who is live on the getaway in whats being branded as the Bud Light Hotel.

Almost 700 crew passengers falling ill to a gastrointestinal problem. Sure. What do you say to people who are looking at that to potential customers, the 97 that dont cruise . You know, its interesting because this is a stomach virus, first of all. It affects well over 20 Million People in the United States each year. We have so many higher protocols in our industry that it becomes something that is reported. So basically you saw that the you have to report it when hotels dont, so on and so forth . No, i think its better communication for our guests and we have so much focus on it. We havent had a failing grade in well over ten years from the center of disease control. Weve got the highest record of the large north american cruise lines by a long shot. Were proud of our record. Ipod and you had a phenomenal First Six Months of stock market performance.

If the fed keeps monetizing debt the way they are they have to be worried about bending the risk curve. Were not talking about bending it in a good way. Im going to lead that into im americaing markets. Its where we are. A lot of fallout even though im not a correlations, because this is far different than 199798, jim cramer has that right. This is far different. Number one difference, of course, lets go back to the crisis of mexico in 199495, currencies are floating. So they are on a daily basis reacting and building this anticipation rather than going from crisis to crisis. We saw the crisis that was argentina and theyre trying to resolve that issue. But dont correlate them if i ask you what was going on would you have invested in im maerking market, your answer would be . Selectively. There we go. Selectively. I will say from the correlation and fundamentals from every given im americaing market, theyre different. I get it. Theyre much better than they were a decade plus ago. In the end what were going through here isnt really about that, is it . Its about Investor Sentiment having very digital changes and a lot of why theyre having digital changes are because of things like china and because of the spearheading Organization Called the Federal Reserve coming with the water and then taking it away and more in a digital process. Jumping to those conclusions and 100 fashions. Of course. Because there are a lot of investors who are addicted to that drip and that all thatsz a thats all they though. Thats what jerry stein warned about. They were chasing yield. So, yes, were getting rid of those people. Lets look at your badge. Badge is ira. For a second, lets make it my ra. 45 seconds and nobody has talked about this. Heres my issue, okay . Who is buying treasuries . The fed. How many are they buying . Less. Less. Years ago there was this white paper and, hey, lets get all the people in iras and their retirement accounts to get tax incentives to be in order to continue to get them make them buy more treasuries. The one thing i dont like about this theyre putting you in bonds. Okay . Does this have a dark side . Real quick. Does it have a dark side . Of course this depends. If you told me the treasury and the fed had been a good trustee of money like the Swiss National bank for the last 50 years i would say this is a wonderful idea but that has not been proven. Basically youre saying this might be another one, hey, we need to continue to do some deficit spending. Hey, how about we make them buy our bonds. Back to you. All right the thank you so much, Rick Santelli and myra, ira harris.

As you may know lenovo buying Motorola Mobility from google but it could be a while before that deal is cemented. Eamon javers is live with more on that. The potential roadblock here is called the committee on Foreign Investment in the United States known as cifius. Its a committee that reviews corporate transactions for National Security implications. Ive been talking to experts here this morning. Take a look at a couple of bullet points here. Theyre saying there could be major concern among the members of cifius on this deal to buy it by lenovo, a Chinese Company. A significant u. S. Concern around Cyber Security obviously is the red flag here for this potential deal. Lenovo has said in the past that it is chinese owned but it is not state owned. Its not a government company. Thats the way they described themselves in the past. So that might be a key to this deal. But whatever happens here, the process is long and complicated. There is a 30day initial review period and it goes on and on after that. Theyre going to have to be careful in getting through that approval process and getting it done in a politically sensitive environment here in washington. Thank you for that. Eamon javers in washington. Meantime, sarah, looking at the best day for the s p so far this year. Yes. And the nasdaq going strong with facebook up 16 .
