A lot of red on that board. These are modest moves. Market turmoil. Someone tweeted me that. Futures arent up a half percentage point pull out the market turmoil boards several headlines out of beijing overnight. Chinas exports rose imports are higher than expected chinas trade delegation arrived.

Dennis muilenburg, replacing him will be the former chair, technically chair, will step out of chair, become president and ceo, David Calhoun he becomes president and ceo effective january 13th what was the final straw that broke the camels back in large part, the relationship between boeing and the faa which is completely broken down over the last several months. I learned from sources that this morning David Calhoun called the head of the faa, steve dixon it was a short but amicable phone call in that call calhoun said to dixon boeing welcomes rigorous oversight. He also said boeing wants to be regulated. This is a big change in tone for boeing compared to where it was a few months ago but in terms of whether or not Dennis Muilenburg was not going to be in the job for long, it was expected for some time his tenure would be short. This is our conversation with him in the halls of capitol hill just a couple months ago have there been discussions with the board maybe once this is certif
Much as yesterday, of course, when it posted one of it best days since january joining us for the hour is mark tepper, founder and ceo of Strategic Wealth partners. And mark, you know, a rally like this going into year end has got to make your clients feel good but do you tell them not to expect the same thing next year . Thats absolutely the conversation were having with clients right now. I mean, it has been an awesome year markets are up about 30 all on the back of no Earnings Growth whatsoever. So its all been multiple expansion. Its all been an increase in Investor Sentiment so were telling clients right now, manage your expectations for 2020 dont expect a repeat of 2019.

Expect good gains in 2020, but nothing like this. Lets focus in on the big stories were watching today Frank Holland is tracking the nasdaqs run to ne
Halting max production plus, iff is merging with duponts biosciences and nutrition unit it is a deal that will create a new consumer giant valued at more than 45 billion. Iff ceo and duponts executive chairman will be joining us to discuss the deal in just a few minutes. And record rally, the iss p and nasdaq new highs lets start with boeing, moving lower in the premarket, the journal is among those reporting that the company is considering suspending or cutting production of the 737 max. In response to the story, boeing issued a statement to cnbc saying it would continue to assess production decisions based on the timing and conditions of a return to service for the max. And as we know, guys, faa last week through cold water on that return happening before year end. Right i think that this is something that some people say it is a foregone conclusion. And that the reason why you didnt see this before was that the way that accounting works, something i think a great cfo would understan
Remains solid. Joining us for the hour is stephanie link what do you think the theme is here we started the day up almost triple digits on the day then loss were down triple digits now were somewhere in the middle crazy with earnings nonstop. The theme today is the shift right back to growth from value. Thanks to paypal, thanks to microsoft, thanks to service now, and value is under performing because i think its all about 3m and what they said. Weak china, weaken you a, to no green shoots after yesterday where caterpillar gave us some hope and boeing gave us hope today took it all back some commentary from the industrials so far, honeywell last week as well, some of the commentary has been a little bit better around china so i wonder how much of this you think is 3m specific and where their end markets are focused versus the broader sector especially in electronics i do think they have high variable costs at 3m so they have some Company Specific issues.
