That and more on nightly Business Report for tuesday, july 23rd. Good evening everyone. Apple got shine back today. It surprised investors with stronger than expected earnings after the bell thanks to massive sales of the iphones. But ipads and macs came in below. Seema . Technology earnings are not off to a strong start expectations coming into apples report quite low. However, apple did beat the street expectations on the top and bottom line, but the big number that is getting wall street really excited, iphone ships of 31. 2 million came in higher than expected. Tim cook said were especially proud of the iphone sales of 31 million and the strong growth of revenue from itunes, software and services. Apples Product Pipeline cook says were laser focussed and working hard on amazing new products that we will introduce in the fall and across 2014. Apple did return 18. 8 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends excuse me, through Share Repurchases this quarter. Morning star an list brian says what caught his was apples massive 16 billion stock buy back this quarter. Lastly, the upbeat results are helping many suppliers like Texas Instruments move to the upside. Tyler, back to you . Seema thank you very much. Here with their thoughts on apples warnings and Portfolio Manager at Investment Partners as set management. Welcome to you both. These numbers on certainly the bottom line were a positive surprise here, but there were some worries on market share in the iphone marketplace and gross margins. Take us through those. Thanks for having me and always a pleasure to be with you, tyler. The hand set and tablet space. The tablet space was quite disappointing. A good credit where its due and push back against the irrational bears, 31 million phones sold although a lot of them looked like 4 and 4 s, the portion of the phone sales they made. This is enhancing business about two things, margin and market share. They are the stories less good. Android is the dominating operating system, thats not about to change. It didnt change this quarter and came down to 36 . Still the best margins in the distance and apple takes home half the total profit. Greg, lets get you in the conversation. What does this mean for apple stock . So many investors dont know should i buy at 419 or sell into the rally perhaps . This is a stock of inflection points. If you look back a year ago, this company couldnt do anything wrong. The earnings estimates were 50 higher than now. And, you know, they set the bar so low, i think this time, that they couldnt help but beat the phone at max put it, certainly exceeded and that will boost a relief in the shares. But, you know, i dont think this is a stock that will mark its way back to 700 any time soon, but it would look very washed out to me. Its six to seven times earnings, x cash lets get both of your views on where you think the stock can go. Max, lets start with you. Where do you think this stock is, lets say, a year from now . It depends a little bit to the other point there that it really has to do with the ois 7, the operating system. Iphone 5 or 6 coming. This is a 475 to 525 dollar share price. Thats where it should be given the price, buybacks and market share unless it falls flat on its face. Its cheap with the 11 shares have spiked up since the 5 00 Conference Call came. Youre nodding your head absolutely. If you look just forget just earnings but, you know, tim cook mentioned that there is going to be Amazing Products where are they . Where are they . Everybody is looking for these cool products. The stock price really is discounting any of those sort of products coming out. This is a company that takes time and comes out with a product that resinates with consumers, as opposeed to competitors that put something out, and i wont name names and write a billion dollars of them off. They dont tend to do that. Can apple and tim cook come out with the cool next gadget . They had their time in the barrel and every tech stock gets that way and thank goodness, because thats a Good Opportunity for us. In term s of what they are looking forward to, i imagine there will be penetration to the living room, there has to be. There just isnt a battle for eyeballs to deliver content after you wake up final, should they buy back more and pay the dividend . The last major product was a major flop, too. The maps fiasco. They dont have that again. They bought two other Mapping Companies and looks like they will take another bite at the apple. The go forward story is can they hold what they are good at with revenue behind them and get is 07 right. If they do, well talk about a 500 to 600 story. If they dont, they will have trouble depending 425. Thanks very much, Investment Partners asset management. Terrific, thanks. Turning to wall street today, the bash on Solid Earnings and conflicting economic data. Manufacturing in the central Atlantic Region declined while the federal government said home prices rose 7 from a year ago and the dow closed. The blue chips added 22 points ending at 15,567. The computer Networking Company and cisco agreed to buy Cybersecurity Company source fire for 2. 7 billion in cash. Shares of source fire red hot up nearly 28 . The deal comes a day after a survey was released that said cybercrimes like Identity Theft and hackings cost the u. S. Economy a half a million jobs and as much as 100 billion each year. Turning now to our market focus. Four dell come upon innocents with earnings. Profits surged 17 in the quarter benefitting from a big increase in orders in the Engine Division and Otis Elevator and the Company Raised earnings outlook. They bid the stock up to a new alltime high. United technologies rose to 105. Dupont touched a new high after profits came in above but revenues shy. Dupont is exploring for the chemicals unit.

Shares are up more than 180 from a year ago. So what is next for the streaming video giant . And where does Ceo Reed Hastings see growth for the industry . Julia gets answers. Dismussing concerns about stocks declines and subscriber growth pointing to the total turn around. There is always ups and downs in the short term of the stock price but the big picture is great. A year ago at 80 and now were at 250. Five years ago 30. So were feeling great about the long term. Netflix has undergone a transformation from renting dvds by mail to having 375. 37. 5 million subscribers. I used to spend my time on postal equipment and figure out the right sending method to use and now its streaming and the next thing is probably a very long time away, because streaming is going to be around for a long time. Hailsings says hes not interested in having netflix offer live program or selling video on demand downloads but rather, he wants to stick with what netflix does best. I dont trust anyone. The netflix expertise is not hit movies and tv shows but original content. Four of the five original including house of cards and the organize is the new black is so popular they are picked up for a Second Season while arrested development has an up tick in subscribers. They are giving netflix subscribers a reason to stick with the service. Content on the site that will work its way through the model stock that should go higher. They faces growing competition from amazon ramping up spending on exclusive content but hastings says hes not concerned. They are really two different chants. Abc and cbs and compete for viewing and time but not different competition. People watch shows from both. The one with the most content is cable and satellite and they continue to get watched. What will the clouded land scrape mean down the line . Thats hard to tell. I have to go see my crystal ball. Still ahead, will the new Health Exchanges be a boom for identity thieves.

For nightly Business Report, im bertha coombs, new york. For the first time ever, Major League Baseball suspended a player for more than 50 games, even though he had no prior violations of the drug policy. Ryan braun a former National League most valuable player will miss the rest of the 2013 season. Now hes not contesting the suspension which comes as baseball deals with National Tv Ratings and markets. Here on his take whether the millionty billiondollar business of baseball can use performance enhancement is bob from st. Louis. Bob, is this news a Good Development for baseball the sport and the business . I think its good for the future. Its bad for the immediate impact. I mean, right now, fans are upset. They dont know what is clean, who is dirty, but Major League Baseball is coming out and saying hey, if you guys cheat, well catch you. So well ever this sport completely kplaen and y lly cle believe in us again. They believe 2014 and beyond it will be a better sport and more people will like it. Do you think the business of baseball is sick today, bob, the business . No, its down. I mean, the weather hasnt helped. You know, weve had, what, 32 postponements, we had 28 all last year. Some of the big market teams are down. So that chance is down there, so the tv ratings are way down. I think the tv rate pings are d 40 with the team struggling and losing star power. The sport is healthy. It will be 8. 5 billion this year in revenue, which is an alltime high. If you look at this incident as crisis management, what does the mlb have to do to restore trust and restore credibility to the sport . You know, i think in this case they are saying hey, well go after bigger stars here. Were not just going after these small fries or guys you havent heard of. Ryan braun plays for the milwaukee brewers, which is commissioner buds hometown. Wonderful talent, good looking guy, wellspoken. Hes one of the last guys they want to catch. Baseball is saying if we can take him down, well take down anybody for the good of the game. You got brawn, a former mvp and arod a former mvp tied to these drugs, cabrera the leading hitter last year took a suspension for the giants, one of this years contenders for the cy young at one time or another linked to these things. They have got guaranteed contracts. Is the only way, bob, to clean up the sport to ever those contracts not guaranteed, if you cheat, if you use peds, you lose the money . Yeah, thats very interesting to see if that comes up in the next labor agreement, tyler, as far as that clause. Right now, i think the union would go ahead and say you can do that but you got to ever sure its intentional and not accidental. Ryan braun loses 3. 4 million in sally this year but he has 127 million coming. I guarantee if the brewers could get the contract, they would do so. Same with the yankees who still owe Alex Rodriguez another 98 million. What do you mean by accidental cheating, bob, quickly . If you take something from a store and you didnt realize it was tainted and gnc product years ago, didnt know that was tainted instead of going through a clinic and deliberately cheating. Well talk about this for quite awhile, im sure. Thank you so much. Still ahead on the program, we continue the special series on how to not out live your money. One way to do that is to work longer and well meet a woman who is doing just that on her own terms. Here is a check on todays treasuries, ka mcommodities and remember seeps. Ford motor will post earnings tomorrow and today it posted help wanted signs. The auto maker plans to hire more than 3,000 white color workers by the end of this year, 30 more than earlier estimates. Most of the new hires will be in engine nearing and software and will work at fords dear born, michigan headquarters. Staying at a job longer than planned is one way to keep money but the trick to that may be doing it on your own terms. Baby boomers and wouldbe retirees are doing it and since so many are selfemployed and turning a market they are willing to secure financial features. How to not out live your money, sharon ener spperson looks at wg longer. Two challenging indums indust industries before taking it on. I believe any time you work for other people, there are so many limitations. Reporter after being downsized from her job at an auto manufacturing plant she saw an opening for a security officer. She took it and started to learn that business from the ground up. What i learned was the Security Industry is a very, very lucrative industry. Reporter in 2001 she started all in one security. The 59yearold selfemployed runs a million tie Million Dollar enterprise with more than 200 employees. We integrate people with technology to afford our giants with a full service, total security solution. Reporter parker chose an industry like many selfemployed workers focuses on providing a service. What we see is most of the individuals who start businesses later in life represent professional services. Reporter a recent survey by aarp found 10 of workers ages 45 to 74 plan to start a business after they retire. 15 are already selfemployed and the majority of their businesses are successful. Once you have life experience, you probably have a shorter pathway to being successful, and that is Something Else that were seeing. So again, the majority of people that responded are saying its roughly 70 are profitable. Reporter parker says owning a security business certainly helped her own Financial Security and with a diversified portfolio and real estate investments, she says she will be ready to chart the next course. Ready to retire in the next three to five years. Financially i dont have to worry about what that will look like. I will not have to work, although i know i will continue to work.
