>> certainly, we know investors love stimulus, it is the candy they cannot get enough of. they also like certainty. used, wethat drug he will study options, is incredibly wavering. most people think, marches around the corner one the bond buying program stops and quantitative easing may stop, and they are saying no way, he will have to do something else. words matter. i thought his wavering was probably not the right approach. it's clear they will continue some sort of quantitative easing . yes, i think the investors for the day traders are not going to like what they hear, but long-term, the easing will continue. mark: and that will happen maybe in december, when the ecb releases its next projections? think the answer is yes but we also have a presidential election. it will be interesting to see what the fed does. any time you say gdp growth will be 1.6% to 1.8%, you cannot say wow. based on where inflation is an based on where volatility is, you cannot say that. we know something else will happen. unfortunately, the ecb has been wrong for years. they should've started the program probably five years ago, when the u.s. started the program. they relate to the game of quantitative easing. it is why some of the banks in the eurozone at not come back to full strength. vonnie: the u.s. is trying to get away from this kind of easy monetary policy, has not been able to except for one quarter-point increase. what are you in telling those that come to you for advice? austen goolsbee is at 32 advisors. he would say he was not want them to raise rates a month and a half before this election that will obviously cause markets -- if trump wins -- to be incredibly disruptive. in his opinion, and i think most people in the markets. most of us think they should have done it a year ago and started their unwind -- begin the rate hikes, but they didn't. ows is notbs and fl the best way to proceed. my best advice would be to wait until december if you want a rate hike, and then have some continuity. september would not be good timing. even in december, will the economy be able to take a rate increase, what is the growth rate you are anticipating? post politics -- and unfortunately, the intersection of finance and politics have been intersected for the last half-dozen years. post election, the economy is chugging along. i think it's time to start looking to raise rates. when i say chugging along, i'm talking about a steady rate of roughly 2%. but we are starting to see some slack out of the work horse, starting to see slight wage increases. seeig concern is you don't any business inventory growing, you don't see spending on capital goods. that is my concern. unlike both candidates, i am supportive of tpp, and i'm on the president's export council, so you would think i would be. does it have any chance? >> it does. we know trade promotion authority has been approved. it is an up or down vote. we know for the most part business is for it. outside of this electoral rhetoric, most of the senate actually would be supportive. i think it's good for our country. it is better for us versus china, because we will be dealing with a dozen or so nations away from china on free and fair trade. this could be something that happens in a lame-duck session, but not something i would bet on. clearlyllary clinton has an edge when we look at the tour college. as we saw last night, she remains on the defensive over her record in government, use of a private e-mail server, during secretary of state. to what extent could those issues make her path to the white house a more turbulent and tricky one? it will be.hink i think it is a binary choice. you have trump, who actually went on tv and belittled some generals. he also went on tv and touted putin over our american president. let's be clear, there is no one anyone in russia over america. there is not anyone who would not prefer to live here. situation, when people look at it, they will say one is a commander in chief, one is not. with respect to all of the stuff with e-mail, the truth is, it will be about foreign policy, the economy, and for some, social issues like immigration and supreme court. --ple are not going to care no disrespect to trump university or pay to play with the attorney general -- and they will not care about an e-mail situation where a bush appointee , who was the director of the fbi, came out and said the case is closed. that is not where the election will be won and lost. vonnie: according to a poll, donald trump is winning with white voters without more than a high school education. how does the winner, presuming it is hillary clinton, get those white folks with no college degree to feel better about themselves? think president obama won white folks without a inlege education, and he won 2008 and 2012 in a substantial way. i would say, the good thing about our country, we are diverse, we have many people different voting of all races, gender, ages. region is note going to differentiate where we win or lose. .he electoral map is the key that bodes incredibly well for secretary clinton today. very hard toried get joe biden to run a year ago. he didn't. regrets? >> that's not accurate. i am a fan of him but at that time, i announced i was supporting secretary clinton, although i publicly announced it. joe, he is aan of good friend. i'm sure if he ran and hillary didn't, we would have a democrat in the seat of the white house either way in january. wolf, 32 advisors founder, thank you. mark: we take a look at stocks in the session. nike falling after getting a downgrade from piper jaffray. this is bloomberg. ♪ mark: live from london and new york, i'm mark barton. vonnie: i'm vonnie quinn. you are watching "bloomberg markets." julie hyman has been looking at some retail movers. julie: tractor supply is plunging after it cut its full-year profit and sales forecast. now it's as comparable sales for the year will be up at most 1.7% , before the lower end of the forecast had been increased 2.5% . that is based on third-quarter sales and eating trans and economic environment. by stock was downgraded several. shares are down 16%. we are seeing a big decline of about 16%. aftero is stepping down second-quarter preliminary losses were worse than estimated , and also the company said it is seeing some ongoing traffic challenges. they were downgraded by oppenheimer and raymond james. analysts are cautious on the company's prospects. they say it's largely a function of the sub optimal real estate footprint and high cost structure. we are also looking at some analyst calls on retailers. lululemon downgraded at jefferies. the analyst saying that maybe athleisure is starting to peak. , meantime, cut from a neutral to overweight at piper jaffray after the analyst visited a number of markets in europe. the resurgence of adidas has taken a toll on nike's growth rate. brands,or you, taylor the owner of men's wearhouse and joseph bank. desk jos. a bank. earnings-per-share came out six cents above what animals had been anticipating. thank you. still ahead, hewlett-packard accelerates its strategy with a spinoff and merger of software assets. the latest on its $8 billion deal with u.k.-based micro focus. this is bloomberg. ♪ [laughter] vonnie: you are watching "bloomberg markets." i'm vonnie quinn. mark: i'm mark barton. vonnie: returning to deals news, shares of micro focus are surging as hewlett-packard enterprises says it will combine some software assets with the u.k.-based company. the $8.8 billion deal is meg whitman's latest effort to slim down hewlett-packard's operations. alex sherman is here. micro focus. we have not necessarily heard of it, but this is a massive deal, almost $9 billion. alex: they bought a company called serena software from a private equity firm based in california a couple years ago. they bought another company about two years ago. this is a much bigger deal. it $.8 billion deal. that is much larger than micro focus. it is really a transformative deal for the company. there is now a pattern of a company buying assets to manage growth. in other words, some of these assets, like what they are doing with hpe, autonomy, as you may remember, is one of the biggest busts. fraud accusations involved. hp rode off an enormous amount of money, almost the entire value of the deal, after buying them for $10 billion. that is part of this deal. -- excuse me, autonomy was based in the u.k., , so in a focus also is sense, going back home. vonnie: why does it make sense for micro focus to be the buyer here? i'm getting at is they have a strategy here, looking at these backbone technologies that may have fallen off. serena is another company that you could look at this way. they needed to be taken private and then they had a bit of a turnaround. look at assets that are potential turnaround prospects for this company, to continue to get bigger and get more scale. as a private equity firm, taking a bunch of assets --t were weighing down hpe and that is the strategy for hpe. this is a stark contrast to what dell is doing, buying emc. the company up and then they did a merger with cfc. they were able to push off other assets. now this is another spin merge. vonnie: this is all about hp becoming more nimble to woo customers? alex: yes, and let's take a step back. hp almost did that deal with emc. eventually, they went with dell. it is easy for meg whitman to rewrite the script here, but she almost did a deal to get really big, and it would have been a completely different strategy. she went this route to say hp wants to focus on newer technology, and maybe that is the best way to focus on their problems. vonnie: alex sherman, thanks. still ahead, the airbnb effect. how the sharing economy is changing the accommodations industry. this is bloomberg. ♪ vonnie: live from bloomberg world headquarters in new york and london, i'm vonnie quinn. mark: i'm mark barton. you are watching "bloomberg markets." let's check in with the first word news. alisa parenti has more from the newsroom in new york. hillary clinton says the u.s. should hunt down and kill the leader of the islamic state. at the same time, the democratic candidate repeated her position that the u.s. should not put troops on the ground in syria. benton spoke at a news conference in new york. >> i think the approach i have outlined intensifies what we have doing but also recognizes opinion,no come in my path forward to ground troops that would be in our interest. alisa: clinton has also said donald trumps praise of vladimir putin is scary. she says it means as president, he would let the russian leader do what he wants. a stunning turn on morning television for gary johnson, who is trying to gain traction in the race for the white house. ,e asked, and what is aleppo when asked about the besieged syrian city. afterwards, he told mark halperin that he needs to learn more. merrick garland is returning to capitol hill today. he will meet with the top democrat on the senate judiciary committee with patrick leahy. mitch mcconnell has shown no signs of wavering in his position to let the net president choose the replacement for justice antonin scalia who died in february. u.s. olympic swimmer ryan lochte will be out of the swimming pool for 10 months. he was suspended 10 months after lying about being robbed at gunpoint in rio. he will miss the 2017 world championships. theas punished by both international olympic committee and the u.s. olympic committee. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. alisa parenti. this is bloomberg. mark: did apple deliver on its promise yesterday revealing the new iphone and watch?
