helping three nexis, shares of microsoft it on paper, it's best day since the beginning of november. buy by goldman sachs. the cloud business is quite strong, the second-best in the market, and with

microsoft, helping to explain some of the strength in indexes. advanced micro devices, shares a 10% gain, best day to day since july 25. our team spoke to an analyst today and he said he believes what is behind the strength is the announcement by google on tuesday that google is going to include amd on its cloud platform, and he says he does not think it will add too much to the numbers in the near term but it as legitimacy to the stock that he is starting to warm up to. we took a look at a chart on amd . the stock is doing something very unusual. up in a huge is way, now up more than 160% on the year. we see this beautiful uptrend. what we were talking about yesterday were mixed technical signals. it has started to reverse below the uptrend, signified by that yellow line. on today's strength, the stock has retaken the uptrend. you do not see that very often. it will be interesting to see whether advanced micro devices can continue that sort of momentum instantly climb higher. -- and simply climb higher. scarlet: thank you so much, abigail doolittle. joe: neel kashkari addressing banks that are too big to fail. earlier today, he explained his stance. neel: first of all, this is a nonpartisan issue. there are people on both sides of the eye we think we need to address too big to fail. our analysis says there is still a 67% chance of another crisis in the next century, a lot of risk. i think with the new administration and congress there was a chance to take a fresh look. if you look at what chairman hensarling has put out, is also calling for higher capital requirements. we need to go further. >> is part of the deal, from the banks' one of you, let's tone back on the behavioral regulation in terms of more onerous capital requirements? chairman greenspan was on our program last week and he made a similar proposal. neel: i think that is correct. so that they are truly safe, not at risk of failure, don't need to turn to the taxpayers, we can rely on more micromanagement of what they are experiencing today. >> wells fargo is big, jpmorgan is big. what is big for you and what needs to be addressed? neel: our plan applies to bank's $250 billion and above. all the capital requirements would go up to 22.5%, real equity. the federal reserve calculates debt in that level. eyesight firsthand in 2008. the notion that you will -- eyesight firsthand in 2008. the notion that you will bail in his creditors, it sounds great but it is a farce, never happens in real life. common equity really absorbs losses. in the biggest institutions, the treasury secretary has to super five they are no longer -- has to certify they are no longer to be to feel. banksed the offset for and the offset for growth. that will hurt growth. one of the big things this country did was hoping you led, the recapitalization of the banks, the bailout of the banks. this is late stage stuff. do you think the offset could be quite damaging? neel: here's the thing -- we have seen that financial crises ise so devastating, d estimated it is 158% of gdp. to the u.s. hit economy by the financial crisis. if we avoid one of those, our plan will have paid for itself many times, or we could take another approach -- that's ok, we will have a financial crisis every 50, every 80 years, just get on with it. i for one don't accept that. we could do a lot better. >> have you had any reaction from the big banks to the proposal? and the related question -- internationally, different schemes for regulating, this is a different approach to what these banks would be subject to in europe. doesn't that pose difficulties for them riding the horse in two different directions? neel: the banks hate it. they want to the kennedy too big to fit -- they want to pretend the two big to fail -- too big to fail problem doesn't exist. we can't follow the rest of the world to follow our regulations could we have to do what is right for our economy, and if we can show the world that you have an economy that is a vibrant, you don't have giant too big to fail banks, other countries will need to follow. we can't wait for europe to catch up. >> one of the consequences of the financial crisis is the version of escaping -- erosion of risk-taking capital. necessarily --'t safer banks don't necessarily import supermarkets. do you look at that kind of situation with the erosion of risk-taking capital and the potential for markets to get a whole lot messier? neel: i don't find those arguments persuasive at all. the idea that wall street dealers will be stepping in to make markets when there are big price moves and somehow they will change the settling of the price, i don't buy that at all. look at where the s&p is now. stocks are high. it is not as though there is a lack of appetite for risk taking, it is not as though there is capital to go into equity markets because banks are regulated. >> to be fair, we are talking about monetary policy and you guys had a $4.5 billion balance sheet put there for the market. once you pull that away, don't you need those guys to come back to june the job they used to do -- to do the job they used to do? neel: if you are blackrock or fidelity, you are making decisions for your clients' business capital for the long-term. the idea that they need goldman or morgan stanley -- if blackrock and another wants to trade with each other -- this deal providing great service to make markets work, and absent that the whole capitalist system will break down? i don't find that. you are telling me that you need multi-chile dollar institutions for blackrock to find somebody at vanguard to trade with? i don't buy that at all. >> the timing of this plan is striking. you said in february you were going to do it but it comes right at this transition and it matches up with some things we have heard from president-elect trump. for example, backing off on smaller banks. have you and your colleagues have discussions -- had discussions with the transition team or people close to donald trump? neel: we have not. no contact with any of the campaign for the transition team. we have heard from members of congress on both sides the aisle who said they want to address the two big -- too big to fail issue. i'm optimistic. i think there's a possibility that could be a compromise that everybody could get behind. joe: that was minneapolis fed president neel kashkari. scarlet: coming up, we will speak with congresswoman maxine waters, and in light of president-elect trump's stance on regulation, we will get her thoughts on financial stability and consumer protection. this is bloomberg. ♪ scarlet: what'd you miss? walmart is the biggest drag on the dow industrials today. it had its worst one-they slide since october of last year. let's show you why in today's "numbers don't lie." the onejust shy of point 3% analysts predicted and it marks a slowdown from the preceding quarter. total revenue missed estimates because of the strong dollar. beyond the brick-and-mortar presence, walmart posted again in online sales last quarter. retail has been pouring money into the website to meet its goal for growing online sales at a rate of 20-30% this year. was archase of jet.com big help in the effort. that website has 200 million unique visitors. the online strategies highlighted by his recent move to double stakes in jd.com. you might be suffice that it is the biggest u.s. grocer, and that category makes a 56% of its revenue. grocery prices around the country have been dropping. on a year-over-year basis they dropped with a street not seen since 1960. it is good news for consumers but it has brought headaches to walmart. the company is now pulling back on new openings. instead, it is spending more to spruce up existing stores. store cap growth is slowing but the real deceleration doesn't take place until fiscal 2018 or you see a plateau that where you see a plateau. ceo -- where you see a plateau. the ceo doug miller says he is not satisfied and it needs to change to reach long-term goals and investors agree. joe: time for the biggest business stories in the news right now. maersk and u.s. private equity firm eig are potential bidders for the dawn oil and gas unit. that is a going to people familiar with the matter. ng energy has invited potential bidders to submit initial offers before the business end of the year. mexico awarded a group led by morgan stanley infrastructure fund contract to build a new wireless network at this after a competing bid was discarded. the project will

democrat on the house financial services committee. we will get her take on the all caps agenda and fannie and freddie. donald trump's agenda and fannie and freddie. -- scarlet: bank stocks continue to rally as investors bet that a donald trump presidency will sideline some of the industry's sharpest critics. earlier today, janet yellen warned lawmakers that any changes to bank supervision need to ensure we don't repeat the financial crisis. i certainly would not want to see all the improvements we have put in not want to see the clock turned back on those because i do think they are important in diminishing the odds of another financial crisis . scarlet: joining us from washington is representative maxine waters from california. congresswoman thanks so much for joining us today. i want to start with a letter that you sent to financial services trade groups regarding the appointment of steve bannon as president-elect donald trump's strategic advisor. you mentioned that as leaders in the business community, these leaders should have more obligation to speak out against his appointment and you addressed this letter to the american bankers association, national association of federal credit unions, a long list of recipients. what has been the response? rep. waters: we have not gotten a response yet. it is early. we just sent it out, i think about 24, maybe 48 hours ago. but yes, we did send the letter out because we think everyone has a responsibility to deal with this issue of inclusiveness. we are very much afraid of what we see happening with this possible new administration, with donald trump, and some of the people that he is appointing, like bannon. we want to make sure that the industry, many of whom have been working very hard to create diversity, we don't want to see that stopped. we don't want to see a slowdown. we want people to join in with supporting the idea that we should have opportunities for all of the people in our society who are capable, who are competent, who want to work. and we are asking them to join with us in sending this message. thelet: before we knew of election outcome, i wonder if you had any inkling of people's thoughts on the campaign and how the president-elect was running his campaign. any discussion on that level? rep. waters: we have had a lot of discussion from all quarters about the campaign and about the way that the candidates were conducting themselves. fact, donaldf trump sent a shockwave through many communities in the way that he talked, in the way that he called names, in the way that he insulted folks. i and many others had never seen anything like this before from a presidential candidate. and yes, there has been a lot of discussion about that, and of course, since he is now the president-elect, we are wondering if this is going to continue. if this new president will be the same person that he was during the campaign, using the same kind of language, mocking and mimicking the disabled, talking badly about women, calling people names such as he and hehillary crooked called some of the other candidates, even republican ones, liars, many names. and so, yes, there has been a lot of conversation about this campaign, about both candidates, but particularly about donald trump. a-- the move to stop band bannon, keep him out of the white house, -- with this letter have you been able to generate interest with groups you have talked to around this particular goal? rep. waters: we have not gotten responses back in yet. there is a lot of interest from the telephone calls we are getting from various individuals and groups. in los angeles, we had over 8000 people a few nights ago. andly talked about bannon the fact that the president should not have included him in his administration. and now that he has, he should get rid of him, he should reverse himself. is going to be a conversation that will go on for a while until we drive him out. there is, i believe, a real commitment by many individuals and organizations to influence donald trump and have him reverse himself on this decision. i'm looking forward to getting the responses from the business community, from all of those organizations and businesses that i've contacted. i don't have it yet but i would be happy to share it as soon as we get coming in. joe: i want to ask bigger picture about strategy. when barack obama came into the white house, republicans decided early on that the best strategy was complete opposition to him. there was very little moment of bipartisanship or anything like that. what do you think is the best strategy from democrats, in the minority in congress? do you think it makes sense for democrats to find opportunities to work together with trump or would it be better to completely reject him and show he is unacceptable? rep. waters: you are absolutely correct about what happened when president obama was elected and how they strategized to stop him and block him from being able to accomplish anything. i believe that we don't know who donald trump is. man, whoknow this changes his opinion from day to day, who indicates that he is example, support social security and medicare, not going to cut it, and the next thing we see is him talking about modernizing, modernization of medicare, which basically means privatizing cuts and other kinds of things. we don't know who we are dealing with it at this point, what i'm saying is we have a theonsibility to educate public about what he is saying, the contradictions, what he is doing, all the public policy associated with that. i am not urging people to go to work with somebody we don't know when understand -- know and understand. scarlet: congresswoman waters, one final question. the dodd-frank law has 21 pages, a lot of it is unworkable compding to limenters and critics. is there anything to be improved upon? rep. waters: dodd-frank is the law of the land and we have a responsibility to implement it. i've worked with the other side of the aisle on a few changes and modifications in dodd-frank. but the basic law is what trump wants to get rid of. he wants to kill it. i'm not for that. i believe we are going to continue our struggle to make sure we implement a good law that will take care of our consumers, that will reign in wall street, and not allow the kinds of abuses that have been done in the past to continue. joe: thank you very much for joining us. rep. waters: you're welcome, thank you. scarlet: take a look at the major indexes. s&p near a

about $2 billion. here's elon musk moments ago. >> i like to thank all the employees shareholders that were of the transaction. think your fate will be rewarded. it's going to be amazing stuff that comes out. david more bloomberg joins us from detroit. there any doubt that this would not go through >> initially there was. the dayes went down 10% announced.e lot of the share hollywood who -- shareholders didn't like the deal. if you believe the theory that tesla cash and ability to raise money will bail out solarcity aey're in for a dime for dollar. help.areholders needed it. bought in and voted for kind of as the summer wore on, it looked like the shareholder moving in the direction. clip we just played, elon musk said your faith will be rewarded. essentially still the story with tesla faith in elon and his vision? >> it is. that's why you see some large who own large stakes. into elon musk's genius. you got this total green one that stuff.r all they're buying into his ability to deliver on those products and brand name. the tesla brand name which elon part of. was a huge i think that's absolutely what into.e buying >> of course, this is something jim noted frequent critic of elon musk. let's take a listen. >> i think the combination is absurd. i said that. i don't know if i can sugarcoat more. the shareholders of tesla have have their heads examined. >> we talked about how this merger makes it easier for cash.ity to raise there's some cost energies. thisegically, why does deal make sense? >> that's a lot of people have with.ulty if you're tesla and you want to businessolar panel integrated, you don't to buy solarcity. you can cut a marketing deal solarcity or get panels from another solar producer rather than take on the cash needs of sor solarcity. are all of his companies. people are buying into what he do. >> elon musk obviously teller.us story incredible vision for the stop shop world of green energy. what's the next thing on the investors are going to be expecting to see in terms of executing on this vision? >> what elon really needs to do model threethe sedan out. that's the affordable tesla that exposed to sell in the of $30,000 or less. thisf people worried about deal. that is the next big piece. a lot going to generate more cash for this company for elon to fund his vision. past model three, he's talked about pick-up trucks and suv. has this big vision of fleet of electric vehicles under the tesla names charged by that that powered roofs to get done. the model 3 will be the first piece of it after that, probably truck and you see him try to get into the delivery business. >> model 3 is essential if he wants it to make a mainstream vehicle. thank you so much. up next, we'll speak with peter tchir. higher yields does seem over done. this is bloomberg. >> after trump surprise win investors have been piling in to riskier assets. much further can the run go. tchir.bring in peter extraordinary market reaction. everyone betting on higher rate.ion, higher can this go on? >> i think maybe it can. right now we need to pause a and see -- he's got to start delivering. there's been a big benefit of doubt. builds.ws and there's a strong premise to believe that he will be successful. now we have he has to prove himself. >> we're making a lot of assumptions that not only everything he's campaigned on, he can deliver on. in all show results reasonable amount of time. infrastructure projects take a long time. this,hink when i look at we repatriation is the first that will get done. it will bring money back here. that's actually supportive for the bond market. be things like infrastructure that take time. it's republicans straight through. i think there's going to be a lot of infighting over gets to spend what money in their district. not bet on that happening quickly. >> going back to that it happened before in 2004. >> no, it wasn't as broad based this one could be. this one is going to be more base. i think this is -- i don't understand when i look at it, i don't think companies need the to hire on shore. i think the whole premise that shore willollars on jobs. all these very fundable. i think ability to hire wherever want sunday -- doesn't change. the bond market rally in those names. i think there will be some restrictions. lessons fromhe big this week? obviously, the outcome of the surprise to most people. askn't think anyone -- 100% them would not have guessed we'll be at all time high in equity market. >> we had a big sell the rumor, news.e >> this intense of rally within up 8% on dow futures from net low. >> from my trading perspective, we wouldn't have this intensive rally if we didn't have a big .ell off brought if a lot of weeks short. the treasurynds on market. now at 2.3%, everyone hates the ten year treasury. weak ofthis consolidation. we'll see a by the of a rail -- rally.a i think all the stories that are now making bubbling the way to surface, lot of them have played out. >> that was the positioning when everyone was surprised by the victory. what the positioning now going forward as we wait for some kind details? >> people become more under wait. people are nervous that he is and maybe it'sr excited they will deliver. you see the treasury break even gone up. inflation.n of there's almost hope. betterot forget, for the part of the last three to four years, everyone hated treasury. but down.nothing i think people are bit too quick on this bandwagon. we've got the christmas holidays. if activities slows down, yields pick up. money you earn is important. people will chase it. >> speaking of changing trade, things that we talk -- one of thing we talked about, how love that low volatility trade. huge flows in the beginning of the year. splrv, daily flows into had somee lately we've pretty big out flows. that trade really gotten unpopular. >> that was one of my things. was a very weekend. everybody would like it. thinking.ul there was a double whammy, as coming in, it made it, this is a great strategy. started,the flows have it's problematic. why would you want to own from perspective, these kind of stocks.xy it's good that it's getting shaking out. sets up for a proper rally. people can digest trump and have people, you'll invest for the right reasons and instead rates or low. assuming trump stabilizes and does things that hope he would do, take the pragmatic approach, we can hit all time highs on the stock. there is a lot of money. getting rid of the fed only buying stocks is positive. >> we need to look at december. yellen was on capitol hill today. she indicated that interest ines are set to rise december. what from that december mighting might surprise investors that cause volatility to move? rates.l get a rise in the surprise can be that bonds.y helps the because everyone is worried about inflation. starts dampening the inflation, that will stabilize the long end of the curve. be good.ld >> talk about rallying for the right reasons. maybe the fight tightened a little bit. becomes notrket just a game. far and getoes too ?eal clashes what would that do to the market and market psychology? off.l bets are we go through the election night lows. people, recommending to you've had volatility come down. something tos watch for. other thing to watch for is the has to do something about the ten year treasury. higher. rates are going mortgage rates crested a lie. i would not be surprised if she something to address the long end. >> some fat tails with possibility. peter tchir, managing director capital. >> coming up from south carolina to ther nikki haley japan prime minster. see a live shot of fifth avenue. trump tower. for the japanese prime minster to walk through any minute. meeting donaldbe trump at 5:00 p.m. eastern time. this is bloomberg. >> the dollar is rising against the yen before japan's prime abe meetsinzo president-elect donald trump at trump tower. the closed door meet willing from now. moments kellying to trump aid anne conway. of visitor.ong list let's go to bloomberg bloomberg washington.n there have been all of these fascinating stories about the between trump and foreign leaders. malcolm the prime minster of australia got trump's cell phone number from greg norman. minster teresae may she should let him know when york.uld visit new what do we know about these conversations he's had with leaders? >> there's a story that some foreign leaders have been dialing trump tower asking for donald trump's office. entertaining stuff. shinzo it will be his first meeting. he'll get an earful about china and the transpacific partnership. abe went through difficult negotiations with president tpp.k obama over he can't be too happy to see it scrapped. remarking that shinzo abe and donald trump have a lot more in common than you might realize. of both of their positions. >> i wonder about that. , abe when he came into power, sort of a make japan again theme rebuild inflation, some of the economic themes. possible they could see eye-to-eye on their views of the world? doubt it. i think good deal separation guys still.e two point.lid has sought to revitalize the japanese military, which has caused some concern among his neighbors. trump is certainly looking to do the same thing here. >> of course, trump wants japan to pay for more of its national security as well. speaking of security and international relations, what is the latest on potential state nomination? one day it's rudy guiliani and another day it's john bolton. yesterday it was nikki haley we've got mitt romney as a possibility. >> that's the best one to me. guy who saidthe that trump would bring trickle down racism, trickle down misogyny might be his secretary of state. i think this is donald trump the media.h these throwing names out there and laughing. i will pay each you a dollar. mitt romney is secretary of state. >> that would be my next question. if donald trump's administration outis people leaking different names to keep reports off. that we such disarray were getting reports? disarrayk the reports are probably a little bit exaggerated. we're only about a week and a half into this. do a lot of preparation before they won because they didn't expect to win. we still got 60 days before he's inaugurated. i do think some of this is gamesmanship by the trump people. they're enjoying watching the name game play out in washington. also, credibly, he is seeking in thefrom people republican mainstream. good sign i think that he's bringing in a guy like mitt most vocalwas his opponent in the republican party. an oliveffering branch. ofthere's serious question potential employees within the trump white house. mitt romney hammered him. trickle down racism. if you're mitt romney and you have the opportunity to shape shape its house and policy and you're looking at if it's between you, if you're offered, and someone mitt romney would regard less stable and responsibility, do republicans responsibilitya to help shape the administration for the expert? is an argument that when the president calls you and ask you to serve your country, do it. regardless who the president is. we're all americans and patriots. yes, i think if trump actually be secretaryney to of state, mitt romney because he's a patriot and american, it.ably will do >> alex, one final question. paul ryan confirmed speaker of the house. there too challenge his leadership role. side, nancyrat pelosi's position might be under threat now from tim ryan of ohio. there?the update >> i think interesting things the democratic side. that party is really caught in a battle between its old guard and the young blood who are todering how are we going challenge this president. are rewe'll in best position to do it when we putting people and chuck pelosi schumer back in power. ohio, represents the kind of people who voted against 2016.ats in i'll be surprised if he manages to knock off pelosi. -- ist it's healthy for think it's healthy for the party. >> alex wayne white house editor news.oomberg thank you very much. a charto take a look at that i've been looking at and it wilson.m dave it compares the nasdaq buy back here.up in the wall versus the general market. there's been a big surge the buybackor stocks. the bet here is that this is had would happen if you this big tax repatriation. about with peter tchir. cash forree up more stock buybacks and sell all of that have money locked overseas. toll have more dry powder to buy back shares. >> that's kind of what happened last time around. a tax repatriation, amnesty in 2004. you had a lot of money come back prop up the share price. but not so much put putt back the the company for economy. >> good for capital, less
