Plane when attendants get on and tell everyone to turn off their phones. Samsung shares in asian trading, lets take a quick look, down about 8 at the moment. Samsung strugsles have helped shares of apple we should note because the stock jumped hitting its highest levels since december. So well see if really all those folks that were getting samsung you running to the apple store. Because we actually had at t mobility ceo on squawk alley yesterday and i asked him are people actually getting, you know, sort of shuffled into other devices and he said no they are likely to get an earlier samsung device than switch to another carrier. They like the eco system and like it and stick with something they know. Were you able to see what we showed the picture . I did. Charred. Youre not surfing the web any more. No phone calls or anything. Right . Wow. Talk about a phone named brick. There it is. Its not funny. But wow. That would be frightening in your pocket. Thats what they say. In your purse.
50. 99. Of course it was the rise in rates, the rise in the dollar yesterday that really took stocks down. It did. You know, the fed tell you what im looking up right now. Are you on facebook . No, looking up a quick nate silver. Theres different places to look. You can look at the betting markets on the election. But the now cast nate silver is almost 90 for a Hillary Clinton win. Above 80 in the polls. That whole narrative that the market goes up when it looks like Hillary Clinton is going to win. Weve done it here on cnbc. People saying theyve seen this trend. I dont know what happened yesterday. I think it also, if you start to believe the senate and the house could both go because of the rifts in the gop, im not sure any of this has to do with the 200 points. I didnt think it does. If youre looking to tie anything to the election, theres something in it for everyone.

We got surprising inventory builds yesterday. Traders seem to be taking in stride. The u. S. Treasury department issuing final rules to crack down on those tax inversions. Thats when a company is acquired by a smaller foreign business in a low tax country to avoid paying the higher u. S. Corporate tax rate. The new rules crack down on earnings stripping when the u. S. Subsidiary avoids taxes on domestic operations by sending them overseas as tax deductible payments. Got that . Sara eisen does. This is clearly becoming a signature issue for the treasury secretary, for this administration. And what he issued yesterday were new rules to crack down on tax avoiding companies.
