Take a look at the chinese stocks alibaba sitting at session lows down by five and a quarter percent. Eamon has been following this story and joins us reporter my understanding is those reports that cross earlier today got the markets attention are accurate the white house is considering measures that would limit port po folio flows from the United States into the Chinese Companies but and theres a big caveat here. Its a lot of different ideas on the table. Its not clear when a decision would be made or what that decision would look like or what the mechanics of this would be how could this play out in theres one option already out there thats been under discussion thats a proposal for a number of senators. You see them here including senator marco rubio of florida called the equitiable act. What that would do if passed is allow u. S. Regulators to have access
Making money charles we came out of the gate strong but stocks hard to find their feeding when the white house is considering limiting chinese participation in stocks. Steve moore and heather zumarriaga. Steve moore, i think its a bad idea. I know some of these are flaky names on here but to reverse this right now, were talking about one trillion dollars worth of stocks on u. S. Exchanges. Yeah. I was caught by surprise. I didnt know this was coming, charles. I think everybody is a little bit surprised by it. I think what it signifies, i think the reason the market has reacted negatively that trump is tightening the screws here. Instead of getting a deescalation in the trade tensions, unfortunately looks like were seeing further escalation. My view, as soon as you get a trade deal the American Economy and stock market go through the roof. That is it what everybody is waiting for. This is meant to tighten the screws on beijing, get them to come back to the bargaining table to make a dea
Impeachment efforts against President Trump. Republican leaders fighting back with discrepancies in the whistleblower complaint. Well tell you where things stand. Taking aim at what street. Former Vice President joe bidens campaign reportedly thinking about taxes on Financial Transactions like the sale of stocks. What that move could mean for you and your wallet. Apples taking heat films to the theaters before. Were breaking down apples strategy in the hour. Melissa blake burman at the white house, gerri willis on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and phil flynn watching oil at the cme lets kick it off with blake. Reporter melissa, you said happy friday, did we need this friday ever . What a week it has been here in washington. There is so much public scrutiny over the july 25th phone call between President Trump and ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in which the whistleblower complaint brought it all to light. Now, especially within the last day or so, many in and around t
Socalled wall street tax, placed on the sale of stocks and bonds. So will this appeal to voters even those who hold stocks in their Retirement Savings . Well, im not sure it is going to. It is all about how you brand it; right, david . Hes branding this or at least as they are mulling it over they are branding it as a tax on wall street, but it isnt. Think about how many people have equity and Bond Investments on main street. If you have a 401 k , if you have a pension, if you have any equity related investment, this is going to hit you. Now, it may seem a little bit less extreme than the wealth taxes that sanders and warren are proposing and hes in a tough spot because he needs to go a little bit more left, but he needs to make sure he wont cannibalize his base and this could very well do that. Well, okay, okay, lets just forget the notion of how weird it is that you will get your poll numbers to go up by proposing a new tax. David good point. Thats a little hard to grasp. I dont like
1. 13 . Wowza. They jeweled that nasdaq they reacting to a glut of ipos. On the investment publics back. I take no joy in this but i told you so all year i predicted the ipo cycle would end with a whimper and now its here. Busted deals like peloton. On the heels of smile direct and lyft and uber. Boo theyre booing, becoming the norm there is a big reason why it keeps getting hammered especially the turbocharged Growth Stocks. Did you see them today kind of to the point the president i hope follows through to block more chinese iphonipos no, no, aagh i dont chatter about limitations by the president causing the market to get hit because anything thats not flat out suggesting compromise indicates that were much furthe further away from a trade deal than the bull has hoped. As someone who wants the chinese to play fair, i think a ban on chinese ipos would be a blessing its not whats in the cards, i can tell turns out talk is really about limiting American Investment in chinese companies.
