That we saw yesterday, increasing concerns about whether or not the fed is going to raise rates in june. Does the fed threat then rally . I dont think. So im not going to speculate on when theyre going to raise rates. The bottom line is you know theyre going to raise rates. It could be june or september, next year. What the real important question is what are you doing in the fixed income market if the feds raise rates you . Know theyre going to go up. Its just a matter of time. And i get very, very concerned about the 3. 5 trillion that is sitting in fixed income mutual funds as i look forward into a higher rate environment. They could be potentially at risk. Talk to me about stocks. Do you do anything differently with your stock portfolio . No, not at all. If you look at the market, i think the market is in great shape here. Reminds me of 1982 to 2000 market where it was up each and every year. Except for 1990 when down. 5 . One thing that you have to look at this market is theres no
Performing dow component over that time. So the big question for apple investors right now is, doubling down on retail enough to reboot this struggling stock . Kick off the discussion with Brian Sullivan and michelle ka russ russocabrera. Theres sliding glass doors, 6k video screen and the eyes probably cant pick up. Trees planted along its Customer Support section inside. Theres also a public plaza open 24 hours a day. Free wifi and live music. Apple retail chief says it is not about evolving store design. But creating a community for customers and visitors. But as sounds nice. Sounds gorgeous as tyler mentioned, should apple bet big on retail instead of focusing on the next big product is . Joining us is contributor jan niffen and john fortt and january, what do you think of this move . Apple is good at retail. Good enough move . Its not like they cant do both, right . Its the next great store and they have to have the next great new store and now they look like a microsoft store, ri
Bazos. Chairs of intrexon down. The company ceo will join us live to respond on the back of their earnings, too. Thats coming up. Lets get to whats behind this selloff. Mike santolli joins us. There was nothing too specific in terms of news but all day the markets traded a bit heavy. I think you want to point to the flattening of the treasury yield curve. Rick santelli has been talking about all day. Twoyear yield is up. Longer terms are down. Thats a slow growth signal. Also a signal the market is sniffing out the strong retail sales data along with the good jolt of Employment Data this week maybe puts the fed back in play. Fed speakers have been trying to focus the market on two more fed rate hikes later this year. Meantime, the market doesnt feel as though the growth picture is all that strong. Maybe thats what we can infer. Thats hurting financials. You mentioned, bill, the staples were one of the losing groups today. Thats an overbought sector. People have been piling in. I would
Today. Down by 1. 5 . Well dig into that over the next two hours. We begin with the banks. Dan warner is a banking analyst at morning star. Great to have with you us. Dan .
