Yield. How much is the u. S. Government paying you . There you go. Crude oil which we have been taking a lead from. Ive got good stuff on crude. You do . Cant wait to get to it. We start with twitter. Sheriffs getting hit hard after the Company ReportedSlower Growth and guidance. Not good for the rest of the year. A couple of dow components reporting before the bell this morning, as well. We are going to have headlines on two big names for you. Talking pfizer and dupont. Plus, apple and alibaba working together. Ceo jack ma hes not the ceo, hes the founder of alibaba. He speaks at length on that idea and well tell you what he had to say in a couple of minutes. Far from the ceo. Joe tsai is not even the ceo. Twitter shares are down sharply premarket despite posting revenue that doubled in the Third Quarter and beat street forecast. Q3 the number of users that logged into that service once a month rose 4. 8 . That represents Slower Growth compared to the prior quarter. In an exclusive, the ceo told our Julia Boorstin that mobile is paying off for twitter. In the last year we released our mobile profiles experience. Those new mobile profiles have dramatically increased the number of views, the number of engagements and the number of specifically media content views on those profile experiences. We like a lot the strategy weve got. Give me your thoughts on twitter this. Morning i managed to talk to a number of people long and potentially short the stock. Talking hedge funds. They say its not as much the Monthly Average users they are worried about, its the revenue. The revenue guidance, which they said dont go above us. Dont model above us. Keep it to 444, 450 the next quarter and you have to get out 2017 to get out a multiple under 30 times earnings. My Charitable Trust owns it. I have to tell you that this was incoherent. Really . I thought costolo was incoherent on the Conference Call. I had no idea what the heck he was talking about. I would like to think since i started street. Com in 1996 and the Union Square People were my initial funders, that i would, other than nodo, have a sense of what was going on. This was like amazon without the revenue growth. Amazon, at least they say, listen, we are going to do whatever we want. This is a public company. That is a significant charge to say he is incoherent. Thats why i brought the board of directors list. Why . Concentric circles. I regard this like the nfl. You dont say we didnt execute and sorry. You do if youre rex ryan of the new york jets. Any how rex is a neighbor. Im not going to talk about house sales. When you look at the overall numbers, the overseas additions were terrible. They had, im looking at a bunch i read through everything this morning. Frankly, the company, i dont want to say theyre in trouble, i want to say this is a really good product that someone else could do a better job with. Youre questioning management. I have to. Although youve been a huge fan of mr. Noto in particular. Part of the Conference Call that was coherent what i mean is, if you look at what they were saying, you keep thinking, what are we supposed to be looking for . Monthly average users . The growth isnt doing what i thought it would be. Its an inconsistent company. People are kind of shutting it down. They are not watching it as much. The trajectory seems odd. I dont understand why they are not monetizing. They are spending like mad. They are issuing stock like that. I have to believe these guys, Evan Williams is a total hitter the board of directors. Absolutely. They might be saying, you know what . Weve got to look at whats going on in our company. We are spending a lot of money, not showing results, looks like we are showing. If guidance is real, then they are slowing. So then you have the situation where you just talked about the pricetoearnings multiple. This is now in the pantheon of stocks that are, dont put me in gopro. Im saying this was poor execution. I understand. And to your point and from what i heard, there is no valuation support. You can make a Valuation Case with strong growth, a la gopro. Valuation may be crazy, but you can get to numbers quickly if you assume those growth rates that make it at least you can think reasonable. I was talking to analysts about the idea this stock gets hit so hard maybe yahoo comes in and buys them. Desperate times for desperate measures. That would be fun. Stock could be down. Charitable trust, what do you get rid of it . You punt it . No. There is another meeting coming on. Not punt it because i think the franchise itself is worth more than how the company is running it. I think that costolo is not the correct steward. I am being extremely diplomatic. I will make a note of it. Today is october 28th. You are turning on costolo. What is it . This is like dantes. He comes on rain or shine. Right. Im raising my price target because he comes on. Its something. Dantes inferno. Its costolos inferno. Onboarding, bringing people on to the platform. Waterboarding is an issue. Waterboarding i was listening to them. Excellent interview with Julia Boorstin. He said, i dont know what im doing. If you give me time, i wont know what im doing. I dont know. We are who they say they are. Is this a danny green situation . Playoffs . Lets switch to another one. Use another coach. Playoffs . Ill give you another one. Iverson. Practice . Not a game. Practice . This is like no, it is a game, costolo. Practice . No. Im putting them all in. Okay. Playoffs . Stop it. Playoffs . Lets move on to two dow components. Big, Big Companies with very progressive simple growth, usually at least. Talking about Quarterly Results this morning we are seeing from pfizer which beat on the top and bottom line Third Quarter. The drug maker narrowed full year guidance due in part to generic competition. Dupont exceeded street forecast with profits of 54 cents a share Fourth Quarter. That excluded items as cost cuts helped boost operating margins in five of seven businesses. Revenue shy of consensus. Dupont is under attack from trian right now. Ed gardner leading that charge for that large activist firm. Theyve been busy with so many different things. I thought dupont was fine. I thought it was in line. A lot of Companies Got hurt by ag. It didnt feel it. I think she did a good job. Its not really an issue. There are other companies in the chemical space that havent done as well. There are a lot of different divisions doing okay here. Is it 3m . No. Most companies arent 3m. Right. Its okay. Its better than it used to be. How about pfizer which we talked about in the past, of course. Famously sort of brought inversions to an in attempts to buy astrazeneca. It got the attention of people. I like lyrica, the drug itself, and the numbers. Its a great nerve block pain block. The buyback was extraordinary. This is the anticelgene. Lyric af lyrica. Not that they didnt spend a lot of money on r d. 1. 8 billion in the course. You want r d spend you go to david pyle who was on mad money last night. Allergan under attack. If you spend that much money on r d, i want to see new drugs. Merck, there is nothing to write home in that one either. You go over celgene. Just creating drugs by the day. I Want Companies that grow. While we are at it, and well get to this, sanofi shares are going to be down. Fierce pharma, here is the headline, dont fire me. David, dont fire me. Dont fire me. They are citing competition in the diabetes market. He potentially was attempting to sell them mature drugs which they are no longer doing and seemed to have run afoul. Diabetes. Is this dont fire me the same conversation rex ryan is having right now with Woody Johnson . I dont know. Probably. Dont you think this is embarrassing . I like him. Hes been on the show. Dont fire me approach has this, maybe i shouldnt buy that stock. When youre asked not to be fired. The geno smith of diabetes. Meg terrell is at the amgen investor meeting. Just now ceo bob bradway was presenting to analysts and investors. The Company Announced restructuring in the Second Quarter that would have eliminated up 15 total head count. They are adding 5 head count reduction to that. Now a total of 20 head count reduction expected to result in savings of 1. 5 billion annually. Also responding to the suggestion by dan lobe that the Company Split itself up. They considered it but because they have a centralized supply chain, they dont see that adding value. They are not saying never, but right now that doesnt make sense for them. Addressing a lot of the questions raised by dan logan. Others about cost cutting, returning capital shareholders, saying they planned to increase their dividend by 30 beginning the First Quarter. They did provide guidance for next year, 20. 8 billion to 20. 3 billion in revenue. They plan to pay out about 60 of their adjusted net income on average to shareholders through 2018. Bottom line, not planning on splitting up. Back to you guys. Of course, under pressure from mr. Lobe last week in his letter. Company is doing great. They are under pressure. Allergen, allergan. Why dont people go after the companies that arent doing great . It is doing well. Activists have less down side when they go after a company doing reasonably well with the belief it can do better as opposed to these companies that they lose, look out below. Now they go after the good guys. Robert shiller on the just released case shiller home price data and volatility in the stock market. Lets look at futures. We are poised for a higher open. We have more squawk on the street. Goodnight. Goodnight. For those kept awake by pain the night is anything but good. Introducing new aleve pm. The first one with a sleep aid. Plus the 12 hour strength of aleve for pain relief that can last until the am. Now you can have a good night and a. Good morning new aleve pm. For a better am. Theres confidence. Then theres trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. Our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. Its no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. And during the big tire event, get up to 140 in mailin rebates on four select tires. Lets get back to the key housing data. The latest shiller report showing deceleration in home price gains. Home prices did rise on a year over year basis in august, but fell short of expectations. Joining us first on cnbc, the cofounder of the shiller index, robert shiller, professor of economics at yale university. Professor, always good to see you. What are we seeing here in terms of deceleration . How significant is it . And does it portend perhaps more price declines to come . Ive learned over the years, forecasting home prices that the latest month is very important. But the trend is also important. This is not the stock market. What weve seen nationally, big increases a few months ago and now a softening. Where that means, the latest month suggests price declines might be coming. If you mix that in, its an ambiguous situation. Maybe they wont do much of anything. Our housing guru here at Cnbc Diana Olick sent a question to ask you. With the easing of these price gains, is there any chance of annual prices going negative nationally even for just a few months . There is a chance, yes. We are seeing a kind of we had a big increase. Weve seen a flattening out. Historically, thats a weakening sign. Especially in the bubble state. There is a big difference between california and say texas. Or colorado. California has been bubbly. Thats where we are seeing the sharpest declines. Professor, one of the things that concerns me is that you have a guy like Stuart Miller. A great ceo. He said we are almost at a recession level. This says we are building too many houses or there are too many houses on the market. How is it possible we have a surplus of houses . Demand is shifting. So it seems like we have a new urbanization. People are not so interested in these houses theyve built in recent years. Do you believe that is a seminole change in terms of urbanization and not wanting to own your own home . Similar to people who werent that interested in owning their cars either . The American Dream was a car and house. That will continue. On the other hand, america is an outlier on that dream. Theres a lot of common sense in support of renting and taking public transportation. It makes sense. Well probably mean revert somewhat on that. Im suspecting it wont be a hugely dramatic trend, but will be a trend. Does it matter if fannie mae expands the help it would give to the Housing Market . Does it matter if the fico scores somehow were allowed to be lower . Would any of that stuff matter . Of course it matters. Theyre all part of it mattered a lot. This bubble or boom, i wont call it a bubble, weve seen since 2009 or 2012 must have been affected by these things. Also, of course, quantitative easing. Those are massive programs. Yeah, we have a government thats behind, has been behind the Housing Market and thats been part of the story. Its part of the reason why people are bullish. Now they are starting to wonder with quantitative easing unwinding. Professor shiller, as always, appreciate your time. My pleasure. Robert shiller with the latest numbers on the s p k. Shiller home prices. Interest rates are incredibly low. We are building fewer houses than we were building in 1960. Theres got to be some sea change here. That was some boom. It lasted, what, for 1 1 2 years. A couple of years. Up next, we are going to have the mad dash as we count down to the opening bell. Here is another look at futures. We are set up for potentially higher open. Ameriprise asked people a simple question in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms . I sure hope so.

Here is a situation where a lot of people felt maybe it lost its ability to grow. Not only has sally smith talked about how they are going to put up more stores, but they are putting through a 3 menu increase. They expect very little to no resistance. Chicken wing prices have been high. There is a chance prices are going to come down in 2015. Extra thursday night games in the nfl. This really plays to their strength. Stocks going higher. They benefit from lower gasoline prices, as well . Yes, they do. This is a virtuous psyccycle st. They come up with new ways to make money. They have a new pizza chain coming, too. This is a story that has not run out, yet a lot of people feel its run out of gas. Wait till you see what happens when wings pricing comes down next year because of the bumper harvest we had in grain and theyll be able to feed chickens having owned chicken i know thats the case. Increase in prices and margins win explode. Interesting. Talk about running out of gas. Coach did that some time ago. Lou frankfurt gone, new management. There is a Silver Lining here. Silver lining handbag. The samestore sales from north america were down only 24 . Many were looking down 27 . When you see the beginning of that you think maybe its jc penney and they can turn it around. They did have better than expected. 53 versus 46. Market doesnt seem to be reacting positively. People were hoping they would see more of a turn. Stock down 39 this year. Its been a hard stock to cotton up to. Lets listen to the Conference Call. Im not being facetious. The fact it didnt go down, someone will get interested in this stock. Maybe its one of your activist friends. I dont know. What do you do for a fashionrelated company . Tell them how to do their, you know, make hand bags . Jones got bought. That was fashion related. Think about that. There are a lot of activists involved in that area. There are. More for sales. Weve got the opening bell 3 1 2 minutes away. You can bring back a lot of things from a trip around the world. But you cant always bring back customer data. Because many customers dont like it when their data moves around. Can i go now . If youre going to do business globally, you need a cloud that can keep your data where it needs to be.

With our visionary cloud infrastructure, Global Broadband network and Custom Communications solutions, your business is more reliable secure agile. And with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. Centurylink your link to whats next. You are watching cnbcs squawk on the street. Opening bell will be ringing in about 35 seconds or so. Whats the key to this market . Oil staying above 80. Its really important because there are many people, ive been doing a lot of work on the smaller guys. If oil really does take a dive below 75, there will be a lot of companies that cant make their budget. The mismatch between refinery capacity meant largely for keystone and heavy crude. This is from rpn which is by far, rbn energy knows more about this than anybody. Fivefold increase. You have this huge backing off of crude the world doesnt want. Can we shift, can we not shift . When you have that backup at the eagle ford and where we dont have enough pipes to take the oil, somethings got to give. You need to see oil go higher for these guys to continue to grow. Lets tell how rang the bell at the big board. U. S. Physical therapy, National Operator of physical therapy outpatient clinics. Iss, Facility ServicesCompany Based in denmark. We are largely positive on our realtime exchange back at hq. Talking about oil. Bp reported a quarter. Profits no the quite what they hoped for. You followed this company for a while. Stock is up. I had them on a bunch of times. They are very good at what they do. This is a company where you want russia to be resolved. He said weve got to go where the oil is. Russia is always in the balance. Production growth not bad. I dont know. Its not that bad. Lets go back to the key of this market. No one wants to own these stocks. The market keyed on that call even though analyst behind it has been wrong. January 2013 they said with oil around 100, they said higher. Oil will go to 150. There are a lot of people saying, you know what ive got to do the opposite of what goldman says because they were so wrong the other way. The issue is that there is tremendous oversupply in this country. There is. I dont know what gives. They have to cut back production. Been to the movies lately . I like going to the movies. Do you . Gone girl. That was good. Did you see that . Yes. Regal cinemas this morning says its potentially exploring a sale. They make a lot of money. A lot of these trends, whether its netflix teaming up with the weinsteins for debuting movies on the service. Or amc investing so much capex with the great shares. You can go to sleep if you want to. They are paying a dividend. Theyve got extra cash. It reflects everything you said, but not a lot of positives. At almost this price around 23, the stock is trading at over 11 times ebitda. Thats expensive. Thats a lot of money. Theyve already gone through this cycle. They did go through this cycle. Chinese control amc. I look at the company and think about what i pay for candy. You cant sneak that cvs candy in. You cant stuff your pockets. Will you get stopped . Its not a stopandfrisk situation. They dont like it when you bring your candy in. Its a good will thing. It is a goodwill. You cant sneak popcorn in. Twizzlers you can sneak in, but i feel guilty. Do you . Thats because youre you. Thank you. Some people dont. Im going to get to msg a bit in the favor report. Looking at the names weve gone over this morning. Dupont is up a bit. Pfizer also up a bit. Obviously, the market itself has a positive tone with the s p looking up almost 0. 5 . You have a lot of areas that had been beaten down coming back. For instance, notice agco which ive got the chairman on tonight. The stock has been down so low, it looks up to them. The numbers were good. Gopro has been beaten down. They get a recommendation today. Spirit air has been beaten down. Another guy will be on mad money. Then youve got the flip side which is kohls which took me by surprise. They did say pajama sales are good. Did they, pajama sales . Twitter as we knew is down sharply, over 12 right now. You were quite critical of management at the company. No other way to put it this morning. This is a franchise that is one of the great franchises. Maybe its not maybe its not the larger universe everybody seems to think it is. Maybe the platform has limitations. Its too hard to use. For those of us who are the victim of endless vitriol. Youre always on it. Yes, but i was hoping it would be more personalized news service. I follow the nfl. I have everything nfl and constantly look at that. I felt like thats what many people were going to do. Now it seems episodic. There was no world cup. If its episodic, do i have to wait for the olympics . What do i wait for . I think under different management how to monetize it better, just be more coherent about what the story is. Is it Monthly Average users . Modernization . What are we supposed to be looking for . Its a mixed message. Right. I find it troubling. Yahoo shares up again. Up sharply yesterday. Alibaba, which i can look behind us to see where the stock price is. Its approaching 100 a share. Its tripling marissa meyer. They could have sold the baba. She is focused on keeping her job. They articulated a real narrative there that says look at all the things we did. Even if you want to say its not about the core business, lets talk about capital allocation. Lets talk about the 2. 5 million we saved cutting the amount of shares we sold. We made peace with alibaba. They didnt share 120 million. Ken holdman does a very good job, too. And tax efficiency. If they get tax efficiency, the stock will go substantially higher. The stock is going to 110. You sit here and think if they can get tax back, it sells less than 30 times next years earnings. They have a substantial amount of money and yahoo could go do a series of acquisitions and we would say its a growth company. They dont just sit there and shovel the money into a chimney furnace. Theyre not. I think that the acquisitions have not been nuts. I think there was this great honeymoon period then the long knives came out. I think the long naives were unjustified for a company that had a triple while this woman is running it. Lets get to bob pisani on the floor with a lot more moving this morning. Modest movement on the up side. Oil is down 80 and change. A lot of companies out today. Several raised their guidance, but there is a little trouble in retail land. Sherwinwilliams, full year guidance was raised modestly. They had a modest beat on the bottom line. Parker hannifin, i love the multiindustry companies. They make aerospace products, refrigeration, 40 of their sales are outside the united states. They raised the low end of their full year guidance and beat on the current quarter. This is the First Quarter of fiscal year. To raise full year guidance, even the low end, i think, is noticeable. That stock is up 5 . Its unusual for Parker Hannifin to move 5 . Cummins had good demand in north america, europe, weak in brazil. They went out of their way to note they are returning 50 of their operating cash flow to consumers in the flow of higher dividends or buyback programs. They made a point of saying that. Elsewhere, very mixed on the earnings front. You mentioned kohls. Not to give them a break on the weather, it was 80 in chicago over the weekend. It was 70 in philadelphia. There is some weather impact we all know whats going on at the malls and the macroinfluence. Millennials are not into apparel. You go to the mall, you see whats busy, the verizon store, the at t store, the apple store. Thats generating a lot of excitement. There is some change going on in the buying habits of millennials. We all know kohls is blandly competent. They dont do much to stand out. Well have an investor day today. Maybe well get more news how they are going to remake themselves. Its a continual process and ugly business. Coach, we all know. The same problem with them. I went shopping with my wife for hand bags dont judge me, please. She went right past coach and to michael kors. I said why didnt you look at coach . She said its not that interesting. She bought a michael kors bag. I think thats their problem. North american comparable sales down 24 . I dont care how much you remove the promotions from a lot of your stores. Department store sales were down, as well. You cant get my wife interested in coach, there is your core shopper. That is an issue. Elsewhere, whirlpool, they seemed okay. North american revenues were up 6 . Thats very good. Latin america is very big. They were up fractionally. Looks sluggish for them. Martin marietta. They are doing well because some of the they are doing fair because highway expenditures are doing well in colorado and texas. Their earnings had a big miss. Bp. I cant see anything in there where they commented on the lower price of oil and how it will affect their earnings. Why not . Everybody is frightened of commenting on this. Not a word from them. But they did have a little bit better numbers than expected. Back to you. Great report. Parker hannifin last week announced a buyback. Cleveland is back. Did you notice in the k. Shiller the only game was cleveland . Parker hannifin reporting a great number. Maybe lebron. Maybe there is something going on. Maybe. Cleveland, detroit. That is where the value may be. Msg. Im against gluten. Im glutenfree. Im msgfree. Madison square garden. Oh, i thought you meant natural organic. I want to find the press release. The Company Announced its intent to explore a possible spinoff. This comes after what has been pressure from shareholders. It started with jt owned a significant stake. Filed quietly on a friday late in the summer. Applying pressure. One would think activists would not want to play in a Company Family controlled. Family controlled company. When you took a look at the board of directors you, see a lot of family members or inlaws on that board. Alan schwarz one of the lead directors. They kind of push things along there. From what i understand from people close to the situation, there were threats made along the lines of we know, mr. Dolan, that if we were to take a close look here we might be able to unearth things and say, hey, questions about whether youre spending money appropriately or spending money on your own interests. So i think the board may have said, you know what . We might be liable. Its family controlled, but lets go down the road here to at least give them a few directors. Nelson peltz goes on the board of directors. He was approached by the company. The activists did have their own slate in mind. Heres the new directors, sperling, of course, friend of mine. Dick parsons and nelson peltz if they pursue to choose the split, they will split into the venues. Msg will go with that part of it. Music, bookings, production, entertainment, joint ventures, then separate the teams. With that clippers sale, that will give greater value to the clarity of the teams. That is a great point. Especially with ballmer saying well make a ton of money. Does the company ever really consider selling the teams . Dolan does seem to be handing over control of the knicks to phil jackson. Hes the owner, but not making the decision. Jackson seems to be. So there is the possibility if this were to happen down the road you could see a sale. Im not saying its going to happen. There is a possibility being raised you could try to create a ri reit structure for the other part of the business. Talking about the arena and radio city, things like that. Interesting to see activists and this guy thaler is not an activist, but active shareholders. Hedge funds came in getting what they wanted in a familycontrolled company, or making progress. So interesting. Nelson peltz, first initially didnt want peltz on. Here is a company that welcomes pelts. He hasnt necessarily bought stock. One would think he is looking for an economic payoff. He is going to want to make money. Thats what hes all about. Making money in dupont. Making money in pepsico. He is about making money. The durable goods put buying back in the market. We are doing a beeline for wheat durables. Back to 2. 25. If you look at the twoday, we are within yesterdays range. We want to keep an eye on this 2. 28, 2. 30. You can see why after the big deck axbeing deb back al. The market continues to crawl back in a stable fashion. Boons overseas, their resistance is around 90 basis points. If we look to the Foreign Exchange markets, Euro Currency is doing a bit better. It seems they have a hard time holding 1. 28. If you look at the dollar yen, same scenario. Dollar improved after initial reject of 1. 10 but seems to be stabilizing in a fairly nonaggressive fashion. What is fascinating, if i look up at the futures market, the dollar is only doing better this morning against the yen. Its under pressure. All the other currencies and maybe one pairing we continue to monitor Prime Minister cameron is having an issue on the pound. The pound versus the euro, the Pound Holding up well. As opposed to a lot of other currencies. Coming up alibaba executive chairman jack ma talks inspiration. Who he watched to learn how to make a speech. What youll hear might surprise you.

Alibaba executive chairman jack ma says his company is interested in partnering with apple in the payment business. His comments coming last night at the Global Technology conference in california. Apple ceo tim cook added that he is intrigued by that idea. Perhaps more intriguing was mas comments on the late whitney houston. Ma credited the singer with making him better at public speaking. Take a listen. I learned how to make a speech from the movie called bodyguard, whitney houston. When she sings the songs, i look at her, well, thats the way you make a speech. I never know how to make speech. Cause im not actor. When i saw the movie, i say, wow, if you sing from your heart, if you sing naturally, if you are yourself, so i realize that. Hes fun to listen to. Forrest gump. And bodyguard. Two of his favorites. I dont know what to say. That is stunning. Whitney houston.

One of the big movers in todays session is twitter. A loser, that is, down sharply after disappointing Third Quarter revenue forecast and numbers showing a slowdown in new users. Julia boorstin sat down with twitter Ceo Dick Costolo following those results. She joins us with some of the highlights. You talked through some of the weak spots. We did. With the Fourth Quarter guidance disappointing investors, dick costolo responded to questions about management upheaval and comments that there is a lot of, quote, pot smoking going on at the company. Here is what he had to say. What i lack in hair and 20 20 vision, i more than make up for in selfconfidence. The team ive got in place and the strategy weve got, we love. We all believe in it. We know that when were successful, twitter will be useful and vital to every person on the planet. What i asked about the need to rev up user growth, he told me the monthly active user numbers dont tell the story that loggedout users have been growing and are no less valuable to advertisers. Twitter wants to be less reliant on users. He talked about the new developer tools to help expand the reach beyond just its app. Fabric is about being part of the foundation of the entire mobile application ecosystem. Helping developers around the world build apps across platforms from the moment they start developing them to the day they want to start monetizing them at scale. If we are part of the foundation of every mobile application in the world, then enormous opportunities will accrue us to. On the Earnings Call yesterday evening, cfo noto warned investors not to expect twitter to outperform guidance. He said the company is trying to be accurate in its guidance and that disappointed investors. Thank you very much. For more on this story, lets bring in managing director and Senior Research analyst with stern aji. He has a neutral rating on twitter. Thanks, simon. This quarter and this move today is in stark contrast where we were three months ago where the stock surround 22 on the view they were getting more aggressive on user growth. Why the difference . S. I think this was one of those quarters where investors were looking for some kind of confirmation that the growth last quarter was not an aberration. That it was not the main reason for user growth. Coming out of the Third Quarter, things were not as clear because growth in user base was in line optically, but Investor Expectations were for a big beat. That did not come through. Also more importantly, i think the Fourth Quarter implied year growth is also soft. I think that is again giving rise to concern and starting another debate on what the ultimate size of the opportunity for twitter actually is. Thats the reason the stock is selling off. Costolo made big management changes, the coo, cfo, promising it will be easier to use, more hollywood content and better messaging service. To cut to the chase, is that like facebook was after its ipo before it could prove it had mobile and monetize facebook subsequently doubled in value. Could this happen here . The stock is already up quite a bit from its ipo price. That is one difference. Second, mobile is not an issue for them. The issue is different. Its a more fundamental issue. Its biuser growth and whether that can be very large or not. I think third thing is valuation. The multiple that twitter is trading at today is actually higher than facebook ever traded at. Those are the main differences. If the company can solve the issue of user growth and retention, more importantly, what we heard from them, they dont have a top of the funnel issue. They get users to come in, they just dont stay there. Thats what they have to fix. Im reading the analysts commentary. They are looking at ad margin per user, timeline. Beyond the Monthly Average users which is what we were watching, what is the single most important metric for to you see they are making the progress they need to . People look for engagement metrics, which is measure in terms of the number timeline views per user. When somebody comes to twitter, investors want to see if they are staying there long enough or not. That has an impact on engagement and advertising dollars down the road. That metric has been going down, in part because twitter is reducing te ining the friction platform. Its a metric investors are focused on. They will anniversary that in the Fourth Quarter. Hopefully next year well start to see that metric pick up. When i talked to investors they were concerned about the revenue guidance. You mentioned valuation or lack of support at this value. And that revenue guidance, is it dead money this stock for quite some time to come . The next couple of quarters they have to prove a lot. People who own this stock for the long term are probably a little bit more skeptical after the Third Quarter. I was going to ask you what you were hopeful for analyst day in two weeks time. In a sense you answered that. Good to see you, sir. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Want to take a moment and check the markets. We are seeing green arrows for the s p.

A 5yearold boy in new york testing negative for ebola after concerns he might have the disease. And the dallas nurse is expected to be released virusfree today. Nbc is outside Bellevue Hospital in new york where one patient is being treated for ebola. Sara, good morning. Reporter good morning. Dr. Craig spencer entering his fifth day of treatment here at the hospital. Last update he was in serious, but stable condition. We are expecting more details later this afternoon. This as the news comes that another ebola patient is set to be released from the hospital. This time in georgia. Nurse Amber Vincent contracted the illness while treating Thomas Eric Duncan in dallas. She has been declared ebolafree and is expected to walk out of the hospital and speak to the media late they are afternoon. We want to give you an update on casey hickox the nurse who has become the face of the this quarantine debate for Health Care Workers returning to the u. S. From these three ebolastricken african countries. She is back after being forced in quarantine in new jersey despite having tested negative for ebola. At least seven states issued some type of quarantine, none of which are consistent. Cdc issued guidelines that suggests treatment based on risk categories. They issued a statement that reads, in determining the right approach, we have put the health and safety of Americans First and more foes, and our deliberations have always been informed by our most knowledgeable Public Health and Homeland Security professionals. As with everything weve done to respond to the threat of ebola, we have been guided by the best science possible. It is important to note the cdc cannot enforce these guidelines. They can only suggest. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in an exclusive interview on the today show doubling down on his states policy for this mandatory quarantine for returning Health Care Workers saying the cdc has been behind on this and its his number one job to protect the citizens of this state.

Ebola doesnt rate that high when it comes to the biggest global risks or threats out there scale of 010 with 10 being the highest global threat out there ebola is a 2. 7. Russia ukraine, isis, all down there below 5. Asian weakness the biggest global threat is seen as european weakness. When you wonder what spooked the market the last couple of weeks with all that volatility . This group says european weakness is 21 a bigger threat than ebola is. Looking at the s p outlook, the first time we look at the tenyear yield. This is an extraordinary chart. The first outlook was 3. 4 in december 2013.

Moving on, you can see the whole outlook. 2. 9 for june 2015. Moving on to the end of the year, its 3. 2 . Looking at the s p, thats also come down quite a bit. If you look at the next. Here we are. 1999, that is a 2 gain between now and the end of the year. Moving on up to mid 2015. 2066, a 5 gain. It came down, but still higher. 8 between now and the end of 2015.

If your political ads tell you there is a ton of money in the 2014 election campaign, youre not imagining it. The question is how much difference will it make . Lets look at the totals and how they changed over time. Look here at the 26 midterm elections when democrats were surging to take both houses of congress. 2. 8 billion on the midterms. Up 3. 6 billion in 2010. This year our friends at the center for response in politics project it will be 4 billion total, significantly up from 2006. Theres been a surge of outside money. You can see its more than tripled since 2006, especially going up since the 2010 Citizens United decision from the supreme court. Lets look at individual sectors. Wall street money. Larger than any business sector. It has gotten slightly more republican over time as president obama star has faded. In 2006 wall street money was 54 republican, this year up to 62 . Tech money. Thats tended to lean toward democrats. Less so than four years ago. In 2010 it was 65 tech money to democrats. Now its down to 60 . Energy money is more tilted than either of the other two. Thats toward republicans. They are fighting president obama on Climate Change and carbon emissions. You can see its up 78 republican in energy and Natural Resources money. Heres the thing about campaign cash. The red team and blue team tend to end up with comparable amounts of it. 2006, when president bush was in the white house and republicans held congress, in 84 million edge for republicans. Democrats because they controlled everything in 2010, they had a slight edge, 40 million. This year the republican edge is back up because republicans have the momentum. 157 million on a 4 billion campaign isnt all that much. What does it add up to . Both sides have plenty of money to get messages out. Money is not going to decide next weeks outcome in battleground stakes. What do you think the outcome will be next week . How likely that the republicans will take the senate . Likely. My current reading is about 52 seats for the republicans. You see most of the battlegrounds are within the margin of error. Not going to be shocked if democrats end up holding the senate, but the odds are the republicans are going to take it. Where is the money going when it comes to Hillary Clinton . Is she a friend of wall street with those comments about trickledown economics failing, dont let people tell you businesses create jobs . That was somewhat of a surprise. Yeah. I think those comments got a little bit misinterpreted. Most was the standard democratic screen, Campaign Speech against trickle down economics. She neglected to say when she was saying corporations dont create jobs that corporations arent the only ones that create jobs. She is talking about bosomup and middleout growth. I think wall street money with fond memories of bill clintons presidency will be okay for Hillary Clinton. Depends who she is running against. There can be republican candidates who will do very well with wall street. I dont think you are going to see the advantage that barack obama showed against john mccain in 2008. I dont expect to see that repeated. Or whether she is going to run at all, right, john . Here is what i would bet on. She is going to run. And she will be the democratic nominee. I have a feeling youre right. John harwood on campaign spending. Now to dom chou for a quick market flash. How about this for big money . Alibaba shares crossing 100 per share the first time ever. September 19th it hit an intraday high of 99. 17. Alibaba is worth 247 billion. There are only eight companies in the s p 500 index worth more than alibaba. A psychological threshold being crossed. How about that . Thanks, dom. We are watching shares of coach. Coach came out this morning and beat the street as International Sales helped push the luxury goods maker above forecast. There is weakness beneath the surface. Equity star analyst who believes coach is undervalued. Do you see signs of progress . 24 decline in same stores sales of north america does not appear to it doesnt seem to be any sign they are turning things around. Dont forget they guided to mid 20s samestore sales decline. Most of us modelled something in the middle 20s, maybe higher. Thats why its coming in above expectations for the quarter. Yes. The transformation plans are deep cuts. Theres some worry in the stock right now. And everybody is eager to see what the new lineup looks like. They have a new collection coming out in september. Has the ceo or any of the executives told you anything about that . We just got off the Conference Call. There were several questions on that. It was a little bit of a mixed read. A poker game in that they said yes, we are very encouraged, but its so early, its difficult to say. How do we interpret that . I think theres not a lot of volume. They are saying the high end and the allleather price points are doing better. Its not enough to move the needle on the chain. The new product is not even in the outlet channel yet. Meantime, are michael kors and kate spade continuing to take market share, customers away from coach . They did say that the total hand dag and Accessories Market is still growing. In my estimation, accessories and handbags are starting to slow in general. Yes, technically, they are taking share. I think all the companies are seeing some slowdown from the high growth we saw right after the recession. Paul, the problem they have is obviously in north america. What is happening there . Is it the lack of price discounting . How fast can they turn that around . Great point, simon. They cut discounts and they also cut advertising and promotion ahead of the relaunch with the new, the higherend branding and new designer stewart beaver. Its going to take at least this year to turn around. I think they are going to be flat next year. Its a 2 1 2 year turnaround. As you point out, those discounts are a big part of the problem. Eventually the brand is what counts. Thats where the mode is. If they protect the brand, the sales should come back. What do you do with this stock . Its getting beat up again today, down 7 . How much of the bad news is priced in . Where does it go . Do you have to wait a few years to see your transformation take hold before the stock recovers . Thats the difficult part. We are longterm cash flow methodology here at morningstar. Its tough to watch the stock decline and look at the stores and see no promotion and say this looks great. How long do i have to wait . If it were my own money and i was going to wait three years and i wanted it to outperform the market, would i be okay with it . Yeah. There is a lot of risk. There will be more volatility as samestore sales decline mid 20s the whole year. This is a company that creates great operating margin, great return on capitals. Its a 70yearold brand. Its one you want to own long term and will outperform the market. I like the new sneakers on the website. I went on this morning, whatever indication that is. Paul, good to see you. Thanks for joining us. Starwoods initiating its Share Buyback to 1 million. 6 of its market cap. Fritz Van Paasschen bought back 57 million of stock in the Fourth Quarter compared to almost none in the first. Sparked open protests from analysts at the time. In an interview with this show in june, Van Paasschen refused to confirm it mad been making space for intercontinental as a tax inversion. Starwood is struggling this morning because it is reducing guidance on Slower Growth and the strong dollar reduces the value of earnings from overseas. Crude oil down about 20 the last three months. How low can it go . Have we bottomed here . Financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise ameriprise asked people a simple question in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms . I sure hope so. With healthcare costs, who knows. Umm. Everyone has retirement questions. So ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. Now you and your ameripise advisor. Can get the real answers you need. Start building your confident retirement today. Oil down slightly after the commodity came under intense pressure. Has crude reached its bottom . Joining us, Richard Hastings at global hunt security, a division of seaport securities. Are we bottoming here, is this it . I dont think so. This has been a complete play on supply and demand. Crude oil prices are ignoring all bullish geopolitical risks. I expect that to accelerate and pass the 9 million mark. Well see prices pushed down to the 75 level. Thats where problems with opec possibly curbing or you might see labor cuts in the u. S. As Oil Production come into play, in addition, you might have tightness in some of the products. You can get visits to 75 for u. S. Crude. Its unlikely we would stay that low. I would suggest prices are probably getting closer to bottoming if we take a look at the dollar index. It gets harder for the u. S. Dollar to rally continuously. That makes it more difficult for Brent Crude Oil prices to keep going lower. Right now, there is an interesting premium of brent getting about 4. I think youll start to see a deceleration and less disorderly movement of crude oil prices at this point in time. We should mention gasoline prices falling below 3 a gallon in most gas stations across the country. Let me pick up this point phil raises which people talk. At what point does job growth slow in the oilproducing states in this country . Not at crude oil prices where they are now. Things are very stable. Our oil field guys in houston are not noticing any big problem from all the companies they are covering. Here is the really important way of looking at the gasoline price story. When gasoline prices go down a little bit, retail sales go up a bit. They did on a not seasonablyadjusted basis. Retail sales in september were up significantly on a year over year basis 5. 8 . State tax revenues go up. State treasuries start looking at that. They increase their plans for spending as Infrastructure Spending goes up because of retail sales related to sales tax. Revenues then better job formation occurs and its better for construction jobs and energy jobs. On the subject how Energy Companies are dealing with this, are you surprised we havent seen major changes when it comes to drilling or capping wells . The ceo of continental was on this morning saying we havent altered our plans. What is that threshold price for u. S. Energy producers . Most people are considering that 70 mark to be the line in the sand. Thats where some of these costs come into play and some of the oil wells are starting to lose money. Thats where i think you would see those labor cuts. You would also dramatic changes from opec, as well. Below that level is your cost of production. We would rebound from there. But i dont think we are going to get to that level. 75 is a key retracement from that 94 high down to 80 where we are at right now. One last question. Again, you raised it at the beginning of the interview. Why have people not been able to run with geopolitical risks has they have done in the past and pushed the price of oil higher . I thought it was amazing we didnt see that kind of move. Typically we do. Under normal circumstances, oil would be north wards of 110 a barrel. At least triple digit oil. I think its those supply demand factors. Again, u. S. Imports are at 18year lose. There is just not that demand for oil. Its not that safe haven play. People have been looking at treasuries. Thats why Interest Rates are near record lose. Thank you both for your analyses. Thank you. Still ahead, mr. Wonderful shark tanks kevin oleary. The disappointing quarter and future of the company.

Good day for economicallysensitive or cyclical sectors like industrials, energy and technology. Lets get to Rick Santelli in chicago for the santelli exchange. Thanks. Id like to welcome our guest mark hanson. Thanks for taking the time, mark. Hi, rick. K. Shiller was out today. My initial impression like many was, and mr. Shiller was on this morning, year over year price increases are at the slowest pace since november of 12. Well call it two years. Is that the most important issue i should walk away with with this data . Its all part of what weve been talking about for 1 1 2 years. Thats the return to normal that most people are viewing as good. What it is is the Housing Market reverting back to the shoulders of the end user shelter buyer who hasnt been responsible the past three years of a vbottom and bubblelike price gains. It was the investors looking to flip and looking to buy houses for rental that is responsible for the last three years. Yes. These price gains are not good. They are going to draw down on Housing Starts and building permits. As builders follow rates, Monthly Payments and house prices. It has consequences. These trends, theyre longterm. This will carry on well into next year. Let me interrupt you, mark. Ive always complained a bit if policies arent working, they should be altered or put under review. Cross benefit analysis. We can all agree on one thing. All the different angles that the feds trying to work towards, the biggest one is housing. Zero Interest Rate policy, buying mortgages. It hasnt turned out well, has it . Theyve got house prices back up. That isnt going to make things good. Isnt there a relationship of income in the middle class and affordability of home prices. Doesnt that need to get back in line . Housing always needs to in order to create volume, the sector will try to do, you need lower Monthly Payments. In 2003 they created exotic loans. That lowered the monthly payment. In 2008 they took rates down to zero. Now we are back in a hangover and there is no way to lower the monthly payment. In my final analysis here, Stuart Miller said there are too many new homes on the market. Do you agree with that . People never look at the its not just new homes. Its shadow construction. We focus and we always lean towards this and show our clients where the supply really lies. If you take all these brandnew, beautifully rehabbed houses for rent across the country and add them to houses for sale, supply is way higher than what people think it is. Supply for shelter, which is what he is talking about. Excellent point. Thank you, mark. Back to sara and simon. There is new data showing homeownership sliding to new lows. Diana olick has more on that story. Homeownership dipped again in the last three months. Now at the lowest level since the start of 1995. The homeownership rate fell to 64. 4 from a high of 69. 2 in 2004. Add to that 3 million borrowers in some stage of foreclosure and the real homeownership rate is even lower. Is housing too expensive or is there a Bigger Movement here . Robert shiller talked this morning on squawk on the street about that. We dont have that sound bite. He said demand is shifting. People are not so interested in these houses they built in the recent years. There is more interest in Apartment Living or renting. Renting is still red hot as younger americans are choosing to have rising rents over homeownership. Part of that is credit, but part is those higher home prices. We are seeing gains come down. Robert shiller said this morning, we could see home prices nationally go negative even for a few months. That is a controversial statement. Back to you guys. I certainly heard that. I hope it doesnt mean my rent goes even higher. Up next, shares of twitter are tanking today, down more than 12. 5 after a disappointing quarter. Reaction from a twitter shareholder. Are the largest targets in the world, for every hacker, crook and nuisance in the world. But systems policed by hps Cyber Security team are constantly monitored for threats. Outside and in. Thats why hp reports and helps neutralize more intrusions than anyone. In the world. If Hp Security Solutions can help keep the Worlds Largest organizations safe, they can keep yours safe, too. Make it matter. Twitter shares are taking a nose dive post earnings as the Company Reported a 7 drop in user engagement, a social and mobile messaging service. What can we expect from twitter Going Forward . Kathy wood, ceo of arc investment and manager. You were telling us, you are taking this opportunity to sell off to buy more. Yes. Absolutely. Why . What gives you dick costolo said hes got plenty of selfconfidence. What gives you the confidence . First of all, there have been a lot of management changes. They are changing a lot at twitter. Bringing in anthony noto was very important. Ive known anthony from Goldman Sachs for years and years. We were publishing analysts together. He knows what he is doing. He and dick costolo have great plans. The engagement statistics have been down 7 , 8 the last three quarters. If you look at this last quarter, despite coming off the world cup, they were down sequentially at an annualized rate of 2. 5 . Already at the margin we are seeing some improvement. Not saying thats great, but i think they are doing some interesting things to turn this around. We also step back. We have a longer term view here. If you look at several categories of advertising, they are pretty powerful in these spaces. Sports, right . Its the most lucrative part of the advertising world. The nfl has said that it knows of no other platform where it gives away content exclusively for free. So thats sports theyve got. In terms of the general big picture, you do not share investor concerns that the company is not adding and engaging users like it needs to like a facebook . Yes. I think theyre on their way. I have to tip my hat to scott david at steeple. A few quarters ago he caught this loss of engagement and downgraded the stock. He put out a stock. He arpu that showed facebook is four times more expensive than dwirt twitter. But we think is in a much earlier stage and between sports and branded goods which is the hardest category of advertising to penetrate, they are there. And now they are going to go pick low hanging fruit. And the third category is our vertical the financial vertical. We most Financial Companies are blocked from using twitter. We think when people understand how powerful twitter is in helping us do research and in terms of information flow a lot more people are going to be using it. The financial vertical is a very very lucrative vertical. How are you positioning for facebook tonight . We own facebook. We own a little bit more as a percentage of the portfolio of facebook than of twitter. Twitter is 4 position and were buying today to keep it at that position. Is where we would own these funds. What is the judgment on facebook versus twitter. Given facebook has more than doubled. Do you add to positions . I think facebook still has some of the best growth ahead of it. I think were in the s curve in terms of the transition from old media to new media. And facebook is leading the charge. It and google. And twitter is just as a younger stage in development. So they have got video to go. They havent monetize ed instagm yet. They havent monetized oculus. Well see what they do with that. They are starting an ad network. And in terms of in terms of not we chat. Whats app. Whatsapp. I think that is going to turn into a placement platform. What is your sell discipline then . Grouped around this theme that results in ownership of twitter and facebook but when do you choose to sell something .
