Day. Football and Financial Advice. Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland joins the desk. Hes a member of our Financial Wellness advisory counsel. The Halftime Report starts right now. Welcome to the Halftime Report. Joe terranova, the brothers najarian, Courtney Gibson and, Mario Gabelli of the gabelli funds. The s p heading for its 24th record close of the year what a big year its been. How are you doing . Terrific. Welcome back. How do you feel . Better than in months . The fact the market is hitting a new high, were looking at stock specifics and what are they doing. Like the viacom cbs. Next year the only challenge i see is the lower Interest Rate that has an impact on the liabilities of Pension Plans and how much cash they have to put in things are okay. How do you feel about where the trade talks are, where the fed is nothing nothing changes. Its fine. The fed is fine. We like the global competitiveness, that china is bringing in texy in house and trying to develop their own skill set and have competitive innovation this talk of value over growth i dont care. Are you trying to play coy with me today . Get me out of the closet trying to out me im looking at growth at a good way to look at things. We had a conference, scott, on friday, dealing with the subject of health care, why does the United States have 18 of gdp in health care . How much of that is due to pills, how much due to hospitals . We have to get the patients out of the hospitals at home, get medicine and technology. So one of the stocks we liked is the stock thats 80 they have 83 million fully diluted. Its nothing and its the beginning of a way to analyze people in urban america and also in Rural America so that they can get a lower cost treatment are you finding value in the market even as we say were at record highs i have stacks of value. All right the russell is having a big day. What do you mean, you came on the air and said youre a small cap guy. I like to look at companies vertically our analysts, 40 of them, look at nano caps all the way up to the Big Companies and the ones that you go to a meeting i read a transcript, one analyst now i dont know why it was only one, 16 million shares and a play on sfras and they have new technology with fuel cells and electric vehicles so how long have you owned teledoc . No more than six to nine months ago were buying it today at 81. 05, buying it today literally. It was up friday 5 after our conference are you buying anything else . Lately within full disclosure were always buying stock because we have clients that hire us and we like to be fully invested much like a hospital for special surgery does specialized things. I feel like were having special surgery here right now you want names i do. I do name names. Ill give them to you very quickly. What we like is the what i give to students aill give to you, a pp test, planet and people what happened at yale new haven sorry, yale harvard game is what is going on climate protests. Climate reality check and that is is that in the 1960s you were worried about the draft and vietnam. Toe its the climate get rid of plastic, buy companies that have recyclables. What happens to the planet how do we help trump says great water, we have the best water and air the next thing he should say is were going to energize americas creativity and come up with a way to do fuel cells and fusion and other ways to generate electricity the stock is 52. Those kinds of companies are easy thats the ticker yes making sure everybody is following along. You go on these rifts. You want me to go fast. You hit my fastforward button. I dont want people to get lost never a doubt, we wont okay. Were only six minutes in. What do you want . Get some other people involved i hope so liz young yes, sir. Welcome back. Even some of the bears are now optimistic about where the market can go, how does the market look to you as we enter 2020 the market still looks healthy. What i think the challenges are that this year earnings was such a low bar, we scaled a very low bar. Next year it will be higher and tougher for companies to surprise on the upside however, agree with mario that trade is fine and as long as these december carrots dont go, the trade kind of simmer continues and its okay as long as we get some kind of a deal before the election. The higher, courtney, we go between now and the end of the year and even this ramp to the new highs, are we pulling forward gains because of some of the risks . The risks are out there i hope someone sends our president a nice turkey and some good macaroni and cheese so we dont get any issues, any tweets the next week. It would be exacerbated this week i think overall as long as we kind of see progress and things moving forward, as long as things are transparent and no whammies, we will see the market doing well and fundamentals of companies are doing well companies are under promising and we hope that they overdeliver and those that dont will get crushed next year i think things will guide higher the wind is at our back and its not a bad thing. Mike wilson over at morgan stanley, i mentioned the bears or those who have been more cautious or downright negative at times are starting to change their tune a little bit. Central Bank Liquidity Goldman Sachs goes up in early 2020 jpmorgan will arrive in 2020, bring another strong year for stocks are we getting a little ahead of ourselves here a guy like mike wilson, hes had to be in this chasing mode and be flexible because the markets have changed yes, we have this going on with china and thats the biggest overhang weve got we talk about how its affecting things joy point joe pointed out and t market recovered somewhat off of those lows here we are near 52week highs and its virtually almost the same names again, scott, and i dont mind that. Its microsoft, apple, the tech names that we all like and a lot of us think for a long time think are still too cheap and you look at health care, the financials, they are something that i think has been the standout for me because all year long we heard theyre not really performing you go back and look again, theyre up 20 plus percent still very inexpensive a lot of different areas, levers to pull that can push the market higher, no doubt last week even when we started seeing the push to the down side earlier, a volatility index hanging at 13. If there was panic, concern, that would have been higher than it was and it was not even close. Pete talks about the levers that push the market higher. What about the m a today you had a bunch of deals. Tiffanys, you had in addition to that Medicines Company and in addition schwab. Also things you dont think about ebay, stub hub and viagogo and a lot of other financial engineering. Youll see more of that. Only 24 days until christmas a special friend, a granddaught granddaughter, buy her a baseball team, the Atlanta Braves in addition to that if you have a really good friend, buy them a ferrari. One share is like 150 and then if you really are excited about new york sports you buy them the Knicks Madison square garden will be spinning off all of their entertainment businesses and we dont know the final Balance Sheet but you can get the knicks and the rangers and those are good christmas presents. If you want to have fun and cheer, just root for America Cliff wants dolan to sell before the spin. Come on, cliff, forget about it do you think dolan should sell the knicks and rangers . The company will be kept and spinning off the entertainment what will be public are the sports teams why would i want to sell an iconic brand to whom and for what price its a taxable transaction, it makes no sense then you have a double tax and the money stays in Madison Square garden as opposed to the shareholders cliff, thank you, move on. He can call me later and ill charge a commission and give you the fees the bottom line is entertainment and sports and gambling, what bloomberg is doing is spending money on television. Betting on sports makes people look longer, listen longer and stay longer and then the final wild card and its a small probability but twitter eliminated political ads if facebook comes to the hellty it has to do the same thing. Mike bloomberg . Mayor mike, yeah. Are you supporting him . I think hes terrific his knowledge is phenomenal. Is that a yes you have until november 3rd ill move to florida to support him if i have to i cant support him in connecticut, duh hes right. I cant support him in california, duh. I cant support him in new york. Who is the best candidate right now . You are seriously. Well, im not in the race i can write you in. Ooh you may i would be honored but im not running. I like them all america is fantastic you like them all absolutely. Everyone has a point of view as long as they spend on television which is great for my companies. I saw today buttigieg has a wealth plan. Lee cooperman has taken a lot of fire from elizabeth warren, what do you think i have no comment the easy layup, nobrainer, get rid of the carried interest. I pay 39. 35 on every dollar i earn nobrainer why cant you do that . Third, make Student Loans tax deductible thats a nobrainer. If im a doctor going to school, why do i spend 400,000 . And then universal health care for everyone, we have to have it maybe mario should run. Are you are you okay what are you drinking . Instead of water, bourbon . It is clear so dont is ask me any questions. Are you not commenting because you dont want to make it into her next commercial . Scott, im listen, the best thing that can happen to Networks Like yours, that is cnbc, nbc, whats going on in the political world. A lot of tuesdaying, a the lot of tuneins this is great. Elizabeth warren is helping fox. Well, whoever shes helping, i mean, people like you and those that you know are under fire in certain parts of the political spectrum right now we have survived 250 years. When i started the firm, its a great country that we live in. Any Political Risk to the market in 2020 i think the notion of putin and the people in iran having problems the iranians, theres a great deal of Political Risk if they do something silly like reading the trades they were doing something about blowing up some american installation. Theres always that risk because if oil shoots up dramatically, thats a challenge okay. You give up try again later. For the moment. For the moment youre like the Atlanta Braves we dont want to play softball play some baseball you never bought stocks i dont know why i should give you any answers to anything. Like i said, well come back to it. We have 45 minutes left. Never a doubt im glad you think of that me joe . Markets. Sure. I think listening to marios comments and what ive heard from everyone else the consumer is so relevant in the conversation, and if you think about the condition of the consumer, think about quarter to date, the s p 500 is up 5 the three sectors that are outperforming, health care, technology, financials whats important to each of those sectors . The consumer delivers the pricing power. Tell me in each sector that you cant find a nice blend of grooet and value, what pete and i like to refer to as quality. The consumer is driving the market higher. Savings rate is at 8 . That is the highest its been since the early 1990s. You mentioned before jpmorgan talking about this reallocation in 2020. I dont understand that note global stocks up 22 year to date Investment Grade 13 that already happened in 2019. So why are we looking forward into 2020 and bonds are not going to work. The vaty strategy is the u. S. Consumer they acknowledge what youre talking about, but the great rotation part two. Theyre looking i could see that in 2021. In the political environment that were going to embark on in 2020 where at some point were going to question whether there will be continued divided government, the best thing for the marked i think returns will be muted and asset class will be very necessary. I see a lot of infrastructure plays right now. And all the way out through 2020 out to 2021 as far as derivatives. Thats something i will throw out. And what you and mario talked about as far as mergers. 53 billion worth of mergers announced today. Granted the ameritrade came out last week but when you look at these, lvh and tiffanys, theyre selling a lot of bonds just what weve been talking about and that is Interest Rates as low as they are are driving these deals. If i can borrow money at these stupid low rates, quite frankly, you are nuts not to do it. I think a lot of folks will be putting deals together into 2020 this isnt the end of it were going to hit first quarter, Second Quarter with a lot of other deals based on the cost of money right here you mentioned you were an investor in stub hub and malcolm and i were classmates his son eric was one of the early founders of stub hub they came along and asked for some money in viagogo. I know enough about stub hub because the public part of ebay, but the real one we have really our fingertips in is live nation because we like everything to do with entertainment, millennials. And the notion of live entertainment, sports is a subset, is the way to go a fabulous job of running the stock. They own ticketmaster which has the better way to go on a global basis. The schwab deal, im wondering as a veteran of this business, what you make of that marriage well, you go back what it says about the stock. You go back to may 1, 1975, the world changed. May day commissions became fully negotiable chuck decides to go into business they consolidate and then dominion is doing the deal, i dont know independent of that a billion dollar market cap 5 trillion in assets i like to know the market cap. I can have 5 trillion of 100 17 trillion of negative Interest Rates and i had that, what would you pay me . The german bund and japanese yen. Forget the assets. The notion is a market cap twice the amount of bank in new york so who will come in and top it will some buy and so we assigned small probability in the corporate world of love making do you like that space at all, the schwabs, the discount brokers . What is etrade going to do if this deal goes through what is tom going to do with Interactive Brokers . How will these shake out in addition do i want to invest in them . I will assume the deal closes and my taxable accounts will be selling both in january. Both interactive . No, no. Its too big 100 billion this is not what i like. Do you own either . I bought it at like 9. You talk about it like its a pack of gum. For private wealth we have customized accounts and then we have the mutueutual funds. 32 billion is not a lot relative i was at a conference in san diego. They do a very good job and theyve done a good job the last 30 or 40 years you mentioned and the t. D. Ameritrade weve seen them in omaha spin back to the other part of the conversation about gaming and entertaining good for you. Thank you. See how i did that . Just like i do. Exactly mgm, is that your best name . No, no, no. The concern short term, even though we just opened an office in hong kong about eight weeks ago is obviously the amount of people going from hong kong and looking at the chinese Gaming Market how does that play out domestically theres a Company Called el dorado resorts that consolidates the domestic business the Company Providing the backbone in london fox bet is also in the game. In addition to Churchill Downs which is 131 with about 15 million shares they are doing a good job in their Sports Betting the notion of Sports Betting domestically is an easy one. Mgm i like because theyre selling off real estate and mon tiding it. Next are the mgm casinos 3. 8 maybe 3. 6, sorry. Pete, you play the space. I do. You have a full house, too . What do you think in terms of a name like wynn we know the percentages, theyre making their money in macao. Strip it out and look at the domestic market and saying the stock is six times and from that point of view, a good cash generator. Then the next question is tokyo or osaka, which will be front and center on that very limited new opportunities so they have to go in and do gaming they have a whole bunch of those. Well take a quick break. Full house is next on the gambling, a 3 stock tiny well take a quick break. Well be back with more mario. Here is what else is coming up if content is king, then cash is queen. Why one analyst is worried about netflixs cash returns the call of the day is next. Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland joins the Halftime Report to tackle investing hes a member of our cnbc s st aic council hibedve and where hes putting money to work. Requests the Halftime Report with scott wapner and the traders is back in two minutes sundown vitamins are all nongmo, made with naturally sourced colors and flavors and are gluten dairy free. Theyre all clean. All the time. Even if sometimes were not. Sundown vitamins. All clean. All the time. It nice . Ce. This is the mostawarded minivan three years in a row. The van just talked. Sales guy, give em the employee price, then gimme your foot. Handsfree sliding doors, stow n go seats, man, yall getting a hook up and yall dont even work here. Pacificaaaaa okay, were back mics are open. Hi wells fargo today downgrading netflix. They say the cost for the streaming service to acquire new subscribers will be more expensive than investors realize. Thats our call of the day you dont often see netflix cut to a sell, right right anybody have a take on this doc . I like them still definitely. And disney had a blowout this weekend the stock popped over 150 pulled right back. Not a big one but pulled right back a couple bucks after that i still think that to announce the end of netflix just because of the success of disney is a little too soon and i would buy this one this isnt enough of a dip for me to add the position i own it and i own it because, scott, i look at this company in the same reasons its been for probably the last year. The call. And look at what the call has done it went down initially and now is up 2 what i think is the reality here you have to focus on where are they growing internationally. India is an absolute thats where they are trying they went there early, didnt do it right they fixed themselves and now theyre giving them relevant content. Thats a big deal. The amount of subscribers there and the rest of the world but specifically india is huge you look at the stock, i know its been all over the place, but virtually kind of an unchanged something over 300 a share and thats where it is, you can sell calls which ive done for a full year in here and youre collecting premiums throughout the year. Selling calls and options to give yourself cash flow and down side protection. Ill continue to do that because i think netflix can get up towards 400 i think a high correlation to what the market overall does the market has lifted, netflix is lifting with it i dont know people are going to cancel their subscriptions if youre going to see subscriptions canceled then, yes, a problem with netflix where it will retreat back to 225, 250 i see this more as declining, average revenue per user because theyre going to have to spend more, more content cost, more marketing costs. I think the result of that, though, is a stock that, okay, doesnt trade up around 420 which was the alltimehigh but a stock that will give you 300 to 350 and rolls over, goes 275 i would only push back on that, its not like netflix has underperformed the s p the s p was going up for a good portion of the year. Its not a stock that necessarily is so tied to the performance of the overall market its modestly underperforming. Netflix has come back strong here as weve gotten cyclical. And people are underestimating they have 6,000 names and disney has 600 i dont know why this is even a conversation i love what disney did with disney plus. Youre going to get disney in a couple months anyway i think these two can be complementary and in most households where the consumer is driving this market. That will lift both names and i think that also as you look at netflix and where their investment was we have a 415 price target on netflix. I do believe that it gets there. At the end of the day theyre reinvesting in that content and i think thats incredibly important because youre going to take out the expense of them having to pay the studios so i think this will continue to be a longterm play and its a name you want to hold 120 million households, youre getting a lot of free subscriptions. 1 a month and getting rid of the free third party is helpful. 14 billion and the accounting is fuzzy but typical viacom cbs merger takes place december 5th theyre spending 56 billion on content as a baseline. Then how much can i as a Consumer Spend for these services i think netflix will continue to be a player in that market, 137 billion market cap the deal is done in two weeks. Dont you think that Disney Disney is phenomenal. Is a must have along with disney plus is in my household. Verizon gave them 50 million potential subscribers for free and theyre getting, according to the players here, full retail on that, a very low cost are you bullish on disney i like what iger did with fox. I like the new fox and the old fox and disney at 150 the question is will i get a tail wind on the multiple. 1. 7 billion paying a quarter after trillion for the company theyve scaled up, theyre going to execute i think iger pulls it off. Some of your funds own disney do you own it . Me personally one of your stocks. Me personally, not a word that im going to use, but i own my funds so i buy i eat my own cooking. Thats important. You made an impassioned case for netflix. Can i say the same at one point in time i liked comcast. You dont need to exchange one you can own a bench. You have 7 billion eyeballs in the world. 14 billion. Thank you thank you you caught me right between the eyes so thats where we are i got you you own disney i do. Where does the street become concerned about an igerless disney iger is a young guy he can lost another three or four years in that context i always like to listen to what he was doing with apple. Who is the trillion Dollar Company that wants to get in the global basis theyll find a successor to iger i started following him when he was a rookie broadcaster at cap city he was picked up and they moved on and bought abc. Lets not get into history theyve both done well. Is there a media deal out there that youd like to see happen . I think sony i like streaming music and the way to do it is to own the content. I dont know about the culture of the team that owns that as much as i like but no debt lots of interesting plays and sony is also coming out of the way of the japanese companied. I get really great music sony has a quarter of the market id like to see what theyre going to do in a movie studio and merge that with paramount. Let me ask you one more question because were talking about that part of the world, do you own softbank no. If i own 5,000 shares, its a lot. We own the company they spun off. I havent bought more that have recently, though on a global basis who is doing well in that context the 5g i cant talk about that. Im in the auction dont get yourself in trouble. Notice how quick i love the stare. The death stare. The analyst behind the call we talked about will be on power lunch. The headlines. Theres the analyst right there, wells fargo. Sue herera has the headlines hi, sue. I do, scott here is whats happening this hour, everyone the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the earths atmosphere has reached a record high.

Climate change conference in madrid the iconic macys thanksgiving day parade balloons may be grounded by high winds the forecast calls for gusts of 40 miles an hour its all part of a larger system expected to bring rain, ice and snow, of course, just in time for the Holiday Travel rush. Mississippi now has a lottery and in the first two hours ticket sales raised over 300,000 for decades one was only particulars without a lottery system leaving residents to having to drive across state lines.

Macys and home depot sliding 80 . Some are mid Cap Companies after losing a sizable junk this year. Why are retail earnings so bad if the consumer is expected to be strong . It comes down to that online brick and mortar split the big play in the space xrt, i like the long short. You get good names, the amazons of the world and you go short all the names we saw as having a great year. There is a generational divide taking hold my mom will only shop at a mall whereas i will only be online. Where are you putting your money to work in retail . I like home detail and more related to some seasonal effects and head winds i actually think if you look at a target in a walmart at some point valuation does matter. Theyve been wrong for months. Buying tiffanys, do you think more consolidation is likely to come i think so. Thats an asian story. No question luxury and the bifurcation is working i like that acquisition and you could see more consolidation.

Cnbc partnered with acorn, the investing app called invest in you ready, set, grow our next guest spends his sundays chasing down quarterbacks as a linebacker for the new york jets. Brandon copeland also likes to tackle the stock market. He graduated from the Wharton School in 2013, teaches a course there in the offseason, and is a member of our wellness Financial Advisory council and is here in studio. Good to see you. Straight off of a sunday victory. Yeah, makes today much easier i dont know, maybe you wouldnt be here that is a pressing cloud. I listed obviously were having you on because you teach this Financial Literacy class. Were you always interested in the market yeah, i think i was always interested in money. And then once i saw that the market could help me make money without having to run through wedges or make tackles and beat up my body, i became extremely interested then. You did an internship at a hedge fund in high school . Yes, and then in college i followed up on that with an internship at ubs, a couple there and since then ive inturned in new york and ive done that a couple summers. Just continuing to grow and to learn and how did Brandon Copeland become professor cope at wharton . I think what really made me dive into that was the fact that i felt like as an athlete i was always approached with opportunities, some for good, some for bad for investing and doing good things with it, bad things with it, et cetera, and the good thing i thought its a shame that the average person doesnt hear about this stuff or its a shame that i havent heard about this stuff until you see my contract and now you literacy class is to, one, talk about these type of investments, but also more importantly talk about the things that we all have to deal with in life that we just dont talk about, buying a house, buying versus leasing a car, your credit, budgeting, all of these things that are realities and constants in life that we dont have a class on, you know i thought that ive been to some very prestigious schools throughout my entire life. Ive learned the sign of a 45 degree angle, but no one ever taught me how to buy my first house, how to budget properly, how to invest, all of that type of stuff i just think thats kind of backwards. Really took the dive in approach and became a professor to start teaching it. One day a week, three hours during the offseason. Three hours, a long, boring class. Youve got to make sure you keep we keep the information fresh and entertaining and interactive. I think thats the most important thing, and then the biggest thing that we do is im interested in teaching others to be willing and comfortable to share this information so instead of having a normal final exam, i made my College Students split up into groups, and we brought High School Students from philly into the classroom and the final exam was the College Students teaching the High School Students this information. So one, if you can teach it at a high school level, you have a pretty good grasp on it, but two, where does that conversation go from that High School Kid now who just got excited about investing, right when he takes that conversation home, you know, how does that change his life, so were trying to encourage people to just share this information. Do you feel like what youre trying to do in the classroom has translated into the locker room are you a conduit to, you know, Financial Literacy in the sports world, do you feel 100 , i dont want to put that title or that cape on, so to speak, but guys are coming to me all the time and talking business, talking investments, insurance, all of that type of stuff, even as early as this morning or as recent as this morning, having conversations about that stuff, and i think that thats pretty cool. Brandon, how do we get into this high schools, freshman and sophomore years, thats where youve got to start and take it for both male, female, and everyone else. Yeah, exactly i think that is my ultimate goal, so wouchone of the thingsr doing this semester is were having our College Students go into the high schools every two weeks now, instead of them coming to us one time a year also, im working on an Online Platform as well where everyone can get this information on every single level so again, i think like you said, college is too late. Not everyones going to college, but how can we make these the most interesting conversations youve got to mandate one class of financial mentoring for every somebody in high school somewhere in the country. Thats where business can come in as well. I agree. I mean, theres partnerships, are incredibly important you wouldnt have had the opportunity had those institutions not welcomed you in and allowed you to shadow. Just being in the environment at Capital Markets we do that for high school, College Students and its incredibly influential in communities. Life changing. Internships, how would you recommend to someone listening to this program to get somebody inship the ones listening to the program dont need the help.
