On squawk street, and this is squawk alley live. Good Tuesday Morning and welcome to squawk alley. Kayla tausche and me at post nine with jon fortt and jason calcaneus joining us as well. And now, our best ever day in china, and we have details with susan at hq. Yes, lets go to hung cho, china where the alibaba is projkting to grow 30 this year, which is some different from the projections of the and analysts. There was an overarching event of the company, and to him, alibaba is no longer a marketplace to sell goods according to the ceo jack ma. We want to have the collective datas are from the consumers and the datas are from the business. Yes, so data is very important to him, and, yeah, basically he is developing the cloud likem amazon and break out in the future, and you know the four major areas for alibaba, the cloud, marketplace, and what they are calling the mobile media and entertainment, and innovations technology, and the big topic that people wanted more clarity on is what
Trying to figure out whether tech could ignite the way so many other groups have. Weve seen energy come off its lows. Utilities, the Real Estate Investment trust, homerelated stocks. Lately tech has been threatening to break out despite the largest, better known stocks. Some select Fast Growing Technology stocks themselves. But it was today that really clinched it for me. Microsofts 26. 2 billion acquisition for 196 per share. A 49. 5 premium, where it went out friday. Made up my mind for me. Tech is back and it is back in a big way. That makes me feel like the oilrelated decline we had today. It is giving us some excellent buying opportunities. This is fabulous news for the market. Tech represents over 18 of the s p 500. With the exception of a few high profile names, it has been in the doldrum for ages. Lincoln is one of those companies, the social net working professional company was trading at 31 earnings. Linked in has been signaling that the growth has been slowing somewhat. In f
Vote in the European Union makes you numb. Were dealing with total overload at this point. We have prominent rich people that dont care about stocks. We have Hedge Fund Managers talking about how the pound sterling will crash. We have wall to wall coverage of this event in every periodical. More than i can recall when portugal, ireland, italy, greece and spain were about to go belly up a few years ago. I think theres a real possibility we could be taking something that isnt a big deal. At least most certainly for the u. S. And turning it into one. If major countries had truly defaulted during the euro crisis a few years ago i think we could have seen a collapse of the western world. This issue again could easily have rivaled the panic of 20082009 in our country. Im choosing not to worry as much precisely because everyone else is. It will be my job to recommend the stocks that shouldnt have been hammered because they had nothing to do with britain. Of course, we have to wait for the peo
Session lows. The hunt for yield, the hunt for safety is alive and well. We have utilities seeing a bid today. Higher by. 6 . Of course, the big, big move today happening in the gold markets as well as the bond markets. Guy is with us for the next two hours. So what are your thoughts right now . Unbelievable. This is fascinating. I think this is historic stuff. Its not the time this is the time to sit back and evaluate what is going on. Were at the s p 500 off the all time high. We were here last week. What should you be doing today . You should be gathering questions for the weekend. What are the questions you should ask . Why are Interest Rates in germany negative . Why are ten year yields in the United States 1. 5 . What does brexit mean for global economies . Those are the questions you should be writing, emailing them to your adviceor. If he or she cannot answer the question, you have the wrong advis adviser. You dont have to do anything in terms of market participation, but you n
27 states and one in particular, the uks David Cameron final remarks including from Angela Merkel that its important to only begin talks once meanwhile, president hollande Martin Schultz summed things up. I think we should not wait until the conservative property. But i understood they want to move forward to september, and i underunderstood the conclusions yesterday in berlin, september could be a trigger. Reporter so all 28 leaders are in a working session at the moments. We heard there from martin schulz, they dont expect negotiations until a new Prime Minister is in place. The working session goes on for about three hours, then a working dinner. I suppose the only remaining issue there is how many bitter ingredients are used by european chefs. Before you go, will, the remarkable speech by nigel farage, thats unbelievable. How much did it antagonize the people in the audience . And what is that doing to the conversation happening right now . Reporter absolutely right. That speech is
