Today. Down more than 10 as shocking Sexual Assault allegations about casino mogul steve wynn emerge lets get to Contessa Brewer in the newsroom with the details in the developing story. Reporter these allegations date back more than a decade and the wall street journal outlines a pattern of Sexual Misconduct by Ceo Steve Wynn the report details multiple instances of alleged misconduct including an assault against a manicurist who was awarded a 7. 5 million settle men and many other forced sexual encoupers with employees wynn says the idea i assaulted any woman is preposterous. And then he blames his exwife for instigating the allegations. Her lawyers tell the wall street journal she was not involved there a representative from the company says blamed her. Again, the attorney said she is not involved in those allegations. Wynn owns a 12 stake in the company, is regarded as crucial to its success before the company went public it wrote in its s1 filing our ability to maintain a Competitive Position is dependent on the skills of our Management Team including steven w. Wynn and then went on to include a 30 million Life Insurance policy on wynn in a interview, steve wynn talked about the importance of having happy employees. My basic priority is to protect our Service Levels so that the hotel, the experience of the hotels doesnt change and that means that i have to concentrate very, very much on human resources, our employees how happy is the staff how relaxed and secure do they feel because they are to the going to take care of customers and deliver the kind of service if they are frightened about their jobs. That interview was about mccall be, what i have been hearing from las vegas is that many former employees still fear speaking out because of his long reach in las vegas and in nevada, that he is so unflew engs there the allegations could affect a resort and casino construction project outside boston with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission saying its reviewing appropriate next steps in order to ensure the suitability of the its licensees. A wynn Company Spokesperson tells c no. They are in contact with the commission and will be fully cooperative with whatever view the commission chooses to take this could affect police, too, because steve wynn was tapped by donald trump to be the finance chairman of the Republican National committee. Contessa brewer before today, shares of wynn doubled in the past. Steve wynn is both the founder and the ceo of wynn. He has been a driving force behind their high flying stock if these allegations prove to be true, can you own wynn without steven wynn, guy i would say yes i understand the accusations are soared i had im not going to comment one way or the another thats not what we do on this show i think five or ten years ago i think this would have been devastating for the stochlk i think the company is at a point now, mature enough now where if mr. Wynn would have to leave or something were to happen, the stock would hold it trade at 20 times forward earnings as a growth rate. I dont think people are going to flee the hotels on the back of this news it doesnt make me happy to say that but thats a reality. Think about the tape that came out of then candidate trump. The man was elected president four, five six months later. I think people are extraordinarily forgiving. The runway they have in mccow is tremendous its still growing in vegas, we spoke with him a year or so ago. I couldnt disagree with you more it tarnishes the bran. Every one of these buildings has the name plastered on too much it every time you look at it, whether its true or not true, im not making a judgment on, that but every time you see the name wynn object a building its going on the a problem i do think actually this could hurt their growth rate not only that, steve wynn himself as they mentioned is incredibly influential politically. Has wynn outperformed the peers . The entire gaming space has been on fire think about whats going on as the byproduct of the economy, the markets, the consumer growth that has been reborn and the trends in asia and a lot of that is top down because a lot of people think that china is less concerned about capital flight and letting these businesses operate i fall on guys side as far as iconic ceos steve wynn is there. But its based on relationships. This company, this is not a young man. If its riding on him they were already in a dangerous place going into today, they were trading at a relative strength indicator as high as you can get any time anywhere. This pullback is not a big deal. We have seen allegations coming out and things get so much worse than you can imagine. With a if in this scenario celebrities dont want to perform at a wynn property or chefs dont want to jork at those conferences. You dont want to hold a conference there. That leads into the political comment that tim makes i do agree with that for the near term. I think there is a set back to the stock. I dont think its devastating i wouldnt buy it here i would wait for lower levels. Steve wynn is not the only guy in the world that can run a casino and Hotel Type Business and the fact his brand is on the wall doesnt change anything about me wanting to perform or go to that casino. If you were going to hold a conference you wouldnt think twice . If the allegations are true. Right. If you announce to your clients we are doing a conference in las vegas and its going to be at wynn . You dont think twice . I think in the long haul its not going to be an issue at all. You can make the argument that a tranldy happened in las vegas at a hotel. Does that deter people from going to that hotel . Very different. Totally different. Very different. Would you have thought that actresses with a boycott weinstein and company in terms of production or directors very, very different. I think corporate event planners who anybody who is running a corporation has to steer clear. Whether the allegations are true or false its lasatered all over the tv you have to stay clear of these properties. I cant speak to what the conference business, how much revenue it drives. I have no idea i probably had you should. Bk makes a great point my point is this, i think tim made the same point. I think mr. Wynn is at a point where he is clearly more towards the end of his career than the beginning. Turns 76 on saturday. If he has to step down, my sense is that the business thats been put forth has enough traction where it might be a blip i dont think its devastating all right. For more on the allegations against steve wynn lets bring in john ralston, one of nevadas most wellknown journalists who has been covering business and politics in the state. He is here to give us a view of the wynn empire and what the allegations could mean not just for the company but for steve wynn himself had we were just having a debate as to whether or not steve wynn runs the steve wynn empire or whether it is run by itself or run by other people. Whats your sense of that . You folks know more about business than i do but there is no bigger name in the casino business than steve wynn and he doesnt like to be known as a casino guy. He has always said i am a developer. And look hes not standing still. Hes building in mccould yw. Where the wynn and the encore are is a Tiny Development of land he has a Huge Development in the works that he has unveiled his name is synonymous not just because that casino hayes wynn on top of it steve wynn is the biggest name in the history of nevada gaming. He is synonymous with it i dont know enough about the internal workings of the company or whether there is a Succession Plan or if it could survive without him. But he is the man behind that its hard to believe it would not take a hit if something happens to him. Was this las vegass best kept secret . In other words was this sort of known in town and nobody ever talked about it . Are people going to give him the benefit of the doubt how is he viewed in las vegas, favorly . Well, hes certainly very favorably viewed because he is maybe the greatest visionary in the history of this state. On the other hand some of these kinds of rumors or allegations have been out there before one of my columnists, john l. Smith at the nevada independent wrote a book in which some of this stuff was alluded to. There was another lawsuit by a my gamed dennis gomes that the wall street journal mention who had used to work for steve wynn who mentioned it. And of course this is coming at the backdrop of an incredibly contentious and ugly lawsuit between steve and elaine wynn, his exwife. But lets look at what the wall street journal did. They calked to 150 people. Those are good reporters, some of whom i know personally. Its going to be very, very difficult for him to get away from that even though he said he never assaulted a woman. Thats not what that story says, that he assaulted women. The preponderance of evidence. Not the legal term but just looking at that story and the expectations of anything else is out there it will come out right. Its going to be very, very difficult for him to deal with. Having known the wynns, john, what is your sense whether or not elaine is somehow behind this, that this is the product of a nasty divorce as steve wynn has put in his statement i certainly have no idea. The divorce certainly is nasty there several is no love lost between the two of them. But here is what i do know is that in this new atmosphere of Sexual Harassment being a big deal in the political social consciousness of this country the wall street journal started working on pieces just as we have and many other news organizations have there have always been rumors about Sexual Harassment in the casino basis im guessing they fed off of that rather than by anything elaine wynn said but im guessing its more over the backdrop of the discussion thats going object nationally about Sexual Harassment in rather various industries. How would you approach this stock. Cautiously. I dont think anyone is being cavalier about what news could fall out from here i dont think there is any reason to do anything. Deutsche bank go a nice note after the bell their erms the, we would be out over your skis trying to predict what to to here. But pullback of the stock leaves it in a situation where its significantly cheap. The news of the setment was out there in the milled of december. That the journal broke the story today made it more of a emotional response pie the market 30 of free float traded today that says it here. What do we do i would steer clear of wynn if you are going the bet on casinos, you have a whole choice of coins to bet on in terms of staying away from stuff, thats what i would do. Today, i didnt do a lot i watched the continue to melt higher and im surprised bonds did go up. I loaded up on biotech.

So forwardthinking cities like sacramento are investing in streets that are smarter and greener. The solution was right under our feet. Asphalt. Or to be more precise, intelligent asphalt. By embedding sensors into the pavement, as well as installing cameras on traffic lights, we will be able to analyze the flow of traffic. Then that data runs across our network, and we use it to optimize the timing of lights, so that travel times are shorter. Who knew asphalt could help save the environment . Whats Critical Thinking like . A basketball costs 14. Whats team spirit worth . cheers whats it worth to talk to your mom . Whats the value of a walk in the woods . The value of capital is to create, not just wealth, but things that matter. Morgan stanley it is the moment we have all been waitinger to. The worlds Biggest Company is inching closer and closer to becoming the first trillion dollar stock apple is sitting at a hefty 870 billion in market cap. Its up 43,450 since its ipo on a split adjusted basis could next weeks Earnings Report finally boost the company the new highs . Take your position now will apple hit 1 trillion dollar next week tim . No. I think there is very little in the way of catalysts that i can see other than possibly the Service Business which is not going to grow that fast. I think this refresh cycle is extended farther than it should have i think demand has certainly been questioned in china there is nothing here thats going the take it over. You are a believer in all the analysts coming out downgrading the stocks and cutting the stilts for the next quarter . I think apple is attractively priced i dont think it has to go up, 130 billion in the next week, no. It is all about the x the iphone sales has been skewing towards the 7 for the march quarter. I think its dead money. I dont think its going to take a crack and go much lower. I dont see it skyrocketing. I think it could be trading sideways for the next term. The iphone x ten. Its called the eye phone x dan has been on this, if you look at the stock since november, 170 exactly has been a line in the sand from november until now. Thats been where it bounced off a number of times. To me, thats what you are trading against. Im sort of in tims camp. I dont think this is the quarter thats going to get us there. But like many things in life, there is an inevitability of that 1 trillion handle. How does it set up into earnings i feel like it is a good set up into earns down 4. 5 going into the number with expectations ratcheted lower . I dont know if i buy that. I said you should buy the break out. Wrong. Absolutely wrong on that we are back here. I think its vulnerable going into earnings. The story about the x losing scare and the 8 and 7 gaining share, i think that has legs the risk to me is the downside here i think you can break lower. So i would just stay awa
