Yesterday we talked about what he was proposing in the uk in items of potentially getting out of the eurozone. Today, he took a different tactic. We talked about not raising tax rates, but as corporations around the world both affecting issues in the uk and elsewhere are becoming a real issue. I want you to take a look at this piece. Individuals and bess must pay their fair var. And businesses who think they can carry on, they can keep selling to the uk, and selling uk tax arrangements are for you to wake up and sell the company. That comment, by the way, about coffee is actually about starbucks which has created some problems because theyve been avoiding taxes in the uk. But take a look at this quote right here.

We have a lot more to come, by the way, including a huge interview with ray dalio that were going to do at 7 30. So stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, the beautiful guest i was talking about, were going to get to her right now. She is, i think, davos woman. Youve been here for 12 years . Something like that. How many years have you been here . Something like that, actually. I cant believe it. But yeah, off and on. Joe, we were talking about apple. But one of the things and you wrote the book on china. One of the big issues that came up in the Earnings Report is margin compression in part because their costs are going up. Yeah. How much is that going to continue . How much is that going to be a problem . And what other companies is it going to affect . I would answer this in a couple of ways. First of all, we tend to get focused on wages and wage pressures. Its important to be focused on that, but i think what that is comes down to what . What i would suggest is that first of all, need to not just focus on wages, per se, thats important, but think about the broad r concept and see what the implications might be. But the other quick thing i would say is 90 of the population lives in the emerging woorld. We have no idea whats going to happen yet and to other places where actually there could be significant cost businesses. When you think about labor, is this going to hit the other atlanticmakers soon. Its robotics. Feeding gene into the sorry. Will electronics wps be affected like this . Yes. But i think other companies around the world are looking at this very seriously. You mentioned energy. People have talked about energy and shale and fracking before, but not like this year. You were there about a year in advance. Your sense of how quickly this will happen . I will tell you, its not built into the market at all. I think its right not to be built into the market. One of the things that i wrote about in my book last year that i think it will kind of be overoptimistic about what the implications of the revolutions could be. Could the United States be Energy Independent . That would be fantastic. But there are so many effects that people dont factor in. Are you a believer, by the way, that oil could go down to 30 or 40 a barrel . No. No. Somebody last night was making that observation. I do not believe that that is the case. In the past, ive woshgdz closely in oil and gas and i think those people are missing the structural implications. Were living in vary unique position. This is vary unique time in the history of the world in terms of population. The population pressure themselves i think will raise the floor on the oil prices. Your sense on the mood of an economy. Steams you come there and you obviously things dont always always come through. Northbound suggested its because the adjectives are fun. Do you buy that . No. I would say the last couple of years, people were pretty negative. I have to say, though ive only been here a day, people are pretty positive this time. A bit more optimistic about what might be happening. I wouldnt say its time to pop champagne, but people have been more positive this year. Thank you for being here. Joe, becky, back to you guys. Well see new a little bit. We have a fun segment for you at 6 30. You do. I looked through some of the stuff, andrew. Youre a regular skier. Its a little embarrassing, but well show it to you. Dont give it away. But your heel there it is. Your heel is not tethers to the ski, right . Thats what makes it right . This is a different type of skiing that i had never done before. Oh, god. Good. Now youve got the piece. Youll see it. There might be a fall or two involved. Thats how your hair got messed up yesterday. Coming, whats a fair price for apple now that its below 500 a share . I can tell you right now, 467. 80. Do you hear cameron . I love that fair share stuff. Im going to listen to a politician about whats fair. And the newsmaker of the morning, a squawk box exclusive with ray dalio. Bridgewaters biggest hedge fund. Dont miss it at 7 30 eastern. [ male announcer ] it was designed to escape the ordinary. It feels like it can escape gravity. The 2013 cclass coupe. Starting at 37,800. Welcome back, everybody. Take a look. U. S. Equity futures are indicated higher this morning, up by just over 10 points. The dow and the s p 500 have been on a huge winning streak. Down has been up for nine out of the last ten sessions. And the s p has been up seven sessions in a row. Well see how today plays out. Right annoy, the s p futures and the nasdaq futures are indicated slightly lower. Lets take a look at shares of nokia, the hand setmaker beating expectations, announcing plans to scrap its dividends. That stock at this point looks like its up about 4 cents. Apple shares taking a hit. Brian white joins us now with reaction. And, you know, brian, we can parse through these metrics and we can find out exactly what a percentage shortfall in these things. But it all comes down, you need to be a psychiatrist. At 700 versus 400. Its the same company, basically had the same prospects, same innovation, same products, same market share and same potential for Global Growth that it always had. It all has to do with investor sentiment. And at this point, you can see it right there on the chart. That tells you where it should be trading. I dont see how we can say it shouldnt be there or whether it should be there. Thats where it is, right . Its been a slippery slope. They ran into a lot of yield issues in december quarter that held back the demand for ipad mini, for iphone 5. The quarter was minus our sales, a tad lower than the street. Eps was better. Its the outlook that people are concerned with. They did change their outlook commentary in that theyre not going to be ultra conservative. Theyre going to give something realistic in a range. And one of the things we did earlier in the week is twaek or model for an iphone in june as opposed to what we taught an ipad in march versus an october launch. That brought our number down to right in their revenue range and our eps in the street. So we think they expected an iphone 5 in their future. On the way up, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600. All it was was you could have parsed the metric then and said this wasnt as good as we thought it was. But people didnt own the stock yet. People that wanted to get excited about the apple story didnt own it yet. When it comes to 700, everyone who felt bullish, everyone finally owned it and who do you sell it to at a higher price . Its simple psychology of greed and fear and everything, right . You bring up a great point. And this is what i give up, brian. I look at the numbers and i say theres no reason for me to do this. I need to take a psychology course. These guys have the best portfolio. And that hasnt changed. Theres very exciting things on the horizon, apple tv, china mobile. What they need to do is tap into this cash balance in a major way. Yeah. So a dividend thats higher than we previously previously had. And a 10 billion buyback over ten years, why not do 5 million back at 10 . Tlooefb doing that are to a while, too. People always put them down for it, but you cant deny it as 204 or whenever it is. Exactly. And thats what apple needs to do. At 137 in cash, they can do it been thats something to look forward to, as well. The minute they do that, though, people will say, you see, its over, right . Well, you know, i think they announced the dividends early last year and they need to hike it. You cant sit around with 137 billion. What would happen with the stock, do you think, if they did that. Not a sustained dividend. 3 billion in just over three years is kind of consulting. Over 600, they all have trouble. It doesnt matter who it is at 600 million. And i dont know how many of your peers said at 700, you know, they kept talking about the multiple, cheap, cheap, still cheap, 500, still cheap. Cheap is stock in the tech universe, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. 467 today. Still cheap. Cheaper. I mean, its trading at six sometimes cash, right . So it definitely is cheap. Gotta be a buy. I think one of the problems is just expanding the investor base. Who is in it . And thats cash, distribute i ing. I started at 300. Some of the big he market caps yeah. By far. Its 300 for a gadgetmaker. And then i get converted, everybody against converted finally, but then its like greenspan with the rationale exuberance. Its 5,000 on the dow and it went to 14,000. So urch right. I wish, you know, with ibm. I look up and then i call you brian. In china, thats what they call me. When we come back, the head of pimco is leaving. And when in davos, in this case. Andrew tries his hand at crosscountry skiing. Oh, my god. That is him. Yeah. I agree fully. Good morning and welcome back to squawk box here on cnbc. Im joe kernen along with becky quick. Andrew ross sorkin is reporting live from davos, switzerland. He borrowed sabers hat. I didnt know what happened to that, but hes going to be wearing it when he does his package that were going to take a listen to here in a couple of minutes. At what time . Its like in three minutes. Okay. In the headlines this morning, apple shares taking a hit. Yeah, thats one way you can phrase it, i guess.

But has now seen about a third of that saved off and almost a 50point loser today. For china Manufacturing Activity rose this month to the fastest pace in tw years, monthly hsbc, they use a purchasing managers index. And it registered its fifth straight monthly rise and thats an indication that china may be coming out of an economic a deceleration, obviously, and theyre still growing more quickly than most other companies. Were about two hours away from the labor departments weekly report on jobless claims. The economists expected to jump and give back those big gains they saw last week. It was a fiveyear low last week. You remember the market rallied. It was 360,000. At that point, we had to get a housing start number and we were up sharply that day. Thats helped the rally. It has. I think its nine out of ten days that weve seen so far with the dow. Take a look at the futures this morning.
