Good morning, carl has the morning off. We want to focus on the state of mna in tech. There has been swings and others that were formally the prey have skyrocketed to valuation thats now give them currency to join the hunters. Between tiktoks impending sale, were seeing now in the second half of the year there is plenty of action still to come. Listen to what bob peck told us yesterday on that front. If you go back to march, it was about two billion. So really it ground to a halt. You saw in june, and it has been a tale of two cities a big acceleration and 3 q over 2q so you have seen a ramping here. People are getting more of a feel on valuation, liquidity concerns, their portfolios, s a strategic rationale and more mna continuing to take place through the rest of the year tiktok is the most talked about target President Trump saying he will not extend the deadline. Oracle is on the hunt to buy it, they didnt talk about it at all on last nights earnings call. We have more on what all
Joining me youre making a point of whether or not we need to see a reconstitution in what we have called f. A. A. N. G. We have had a reemerging. Time to look at some of the lesser known tech names and the smaller teches that are just getting started. We have two of those on the show today. A cloud air company is up big after reporting the latest quarter, and big commerce is finding its footing after its first earnings report. If youre an investor out there and you have gotten motion sickness from teslas stock lain changes. Coming up in just a couple minutes, right thats a great point, jon this year were hearing more about some of the other names you brought up but in one way i would say these are not necessarily smaller tech investors are getting nervous even though we have seen very, very good quarters from the like of docusign and c scale. Were seeing that perhaps that dont fill these excised expectations people are starting to wonder have they run up too that is a good place to beg
98 of the stocks to the downside s p 3,000, 10year yield at 1. 25 if you were right on this move, thats a really logical place to say, fine, let me cash in a little bit i think thats what we saw this morning. Not to guild d lily, but we were almost 1,000 points caterpillar has had a spurt in the last few minutes 3m has been positive merck and pfizer im not saying anything is turning around but some people are buying here. The problem is the information vacuum here. The old saying, you cant trade on fundamentals, trade on the technicals the problem is we cant trade on the fundamentals because we dont know what the earnings in the p e ratio should be right now. We saw that with the dispute with goldman going to zero percent Earnings Growth for 2020 then technical, everyone was saying were watching the 200day moving average, we went through that just after the open its hard to trade on fundamentals right now, hard to trade on the technical, and we need a lot more information on whats goin

Plus hiring did cool in december but unemployment is at a 50year low and job gains extended for a record ten straight years, so whats it going to mean for the growth in 2020 plus these damning documents newly revealed boeing messages reveal efforts to manipulate 737 max regulators todays december payrolls number means 2. 1 million jobs were added last year, a slowdown from about 2. 7 million in 2018, coming in at 2. 9 year on year threemonth average, jim, 184 now and we got some milder visions down to october and november one of the things thats missing that makes this difficult for me is boeing boeing is such a big part of the gdp and i dont know which part, manufacturing little changed in december, how much that is boeing because everything has to be asterisked i think thats how big boeing is for the economy.

Good thursday morning im Carl Quintanilla with jon fortt and Morgan Brennan dow, s p, and nasdaq at highs. Well be watching for dow 29k here names like facebook awfully close to an alltime high, fall bet, apple, microsoft going back to their ipos. We could use yoosome insight fr you today, bob whats behind this rally why is it so powerful . Is the street behind in their numbers . We think coming out of twooi2019 the nasdaq was up about 39 .
