Dom chu, the markets in particular you can see here 3385 is where were at on the s p. Were a stones throw, kind of spitting distance from there 3393 is the intraday record high, so those two levels to watch. The dow underperforming with the nasdaq returning to that leadership position almost a full percent today record levels of home Builder Sentiment to the upside. A far cry from where we were four months ago with regard to homeBuilder Sentiment. If youre looking for a marketplace for better days ahead, check out whats happening over the near term with etfs. They both track Home Construction and stocks. Look at the massive surge weve seen from those particular etfs just since the covid lows in march. Remember, a big deal responsible for a lot of jobs in the economy as well. Well watch that trade the stock of the day so far is nvidia they are up about 7 today driven in part by analysts in succesquehanna who have put it high, already up again 210 in just the last year nvidia raising that tide for all the semiconductors watching that trade as well. That has been an incredible run. Dom, thank you very much as markets continue their climb, wall street strategists are working to catch up. The s p target 3600. Does it mean the rally is for real or does it mean the ride is mostly over now . Joining me is simian hyman and phil at jp morgan investments. Phil, explain. Its exciting, kelly, but its really exciting right now not only do we get the resiliency in the efficacy market that weve had in the portfolio, but for the First Time Since 2017, were joining that in the u. S. With overrates to europe aoverweights in equit. From early march to early june, it was all driven by fiscal monetary policy. Whats really exciting right now is were being validated with this information with Economic Data if youre overweight, the u. S. Overall markets and europe, how can you be overweight in everything because Interest Rates are so low, kelly, were funding that position from fixed income fixed income, especially core fixed income is very tough wed rather be in credit than really safe fixed income, and its a new global cycle, kelly if a new global cycle is happening, thats not a u. S. Exceptional story. Thats europe in emerging markets and watching the dollar weaken the past couple months is rallying that position if youre an investor in the u. S. And youre investing abroad, you want that dollar to weaken its fascinating weakening dollars help multiple markets, obviously helps europe phi were in a new global market, simian that suggests it could go on for some time. Would you share that optimism even after what weve seen in the market this year the Economic News has been a little bit better than expected and earnings season was a lot better than expected typically in the u. S. , i dont think you can take it so far across the board, and obviously im talking about the evaluation of tech stocks were at nine times the price of the book due to the s p 500 value index. Were about as high as we were at the bubble. Yes, they make money this time around on the flip side, value is a little junkier, but if youre looking for rotation, i still think that the quality story makes sense. Think about this the value index has had about 20 of its names cut its dividend so far this year. The s p has had about 15 of its dividend cutters if you look at the s p dividend aristocra aristocrats, one in five have cut their dividends. The quality in the middle of the style box is a place thats had a little bit of a discount and a little bit more robust for what will probably be a choppy recovery one more thing on that, simeon, what happens if the pandemic is just an acceleration where the companies that are going to be winners in the next five to ten years in the dij ties digitized economy are just in favor and maybe you wouldnt want to own some of those cheaper names, so to speak im on the same page. I dont think you want to go deep value right now, and i dont think you need to completely abandon technology where there is a longer term story. As an example, tomorrow we get the ecommerce report following um on retail sales from last week i think were going to see an even bigger surprise to the percentage of retail thats moved online we know that thats partly a lockdown story, but thats got legs that were starting long before the pandemic and likely will continue long after so theres certainly pockets with a longterm story to it, and deep value, i agree, im not sure i want to be there because it needs such a vshaped recovery before we go, phil, quickly respond to what simeon said. Would you be telling people even though youre overweight, the u. S. In general, avoid big cap names . We are still leaning slightly toward growth, kelly, but wer not adding to that this is all the same trade if the fed is successful at promoting s p expectations, and rates have trickled higher if theyre right about inflating things in the next couple years, that value story will play in a pretty big way we dont want to overrate t overweight the value because it should be higher thank you both. Lets talk about the dollar, the index sliding down to new twoyear lows continuing to weaken and now hedge funds to short it for the first time in the next couple years. Rick santelli is here. Rick it makes a lot of sense because things change right around june. One of the things that may have changed the most were all those dollar funding issues. Lets look at an emerging market etf starting in june you can clearly see it really has done quite well. From 38 to 44, thats about 15 up in that time period and we know that emerging markets have done well, but so has europe, especially considering sharing debt so put in an eu chart, a currency on top of that, and you see they move together but one thing that doesnt move with the euro or the merging markets, and thats the dollar index. Lets look at year to date etf with the dollar index and there is your big story. We continue to see the dollar moving down, we see the merging markets doing better, and in the final analysis, maybe higher rates on the back side as our last guest was talking about could reverse it, but for the moment seems to be flashing yellow for the dollar and flashing green for the euro and the emerging markets kelly, back to you rick, we often talk about when hedge funds pile on a trend one way or another, sometimes its contrarian. What is their record of making bets in general . Does this tell you maybe people are too consensus on its weakening . What i would say is they overcompensate on the notion its a reserve currency. I think piling in isnt a bad idea they might be a bit late, but ultimately, remember, Foreign Exchange tends to trend for long periods of time. I think theyre going to be okay for a while. Its going to be the good news of the future that hurts that position as less stimulus is needed in the long end and the curves steepen, that will be the undoing of that hedgey trade you wonder just how close we are to that junction rick, thank you, sir rick santelli, we appreciate it. Lets switch to nancy pelosi calling lawmakers back to capitol hill this week to vote on a bill that would bar changes to the u. S. Post office over fear of mailin ballots. Eamon javers reporter as you say, speaker of the house nancy pelosi is calling congress back from their summer vacation. Theyre off campaigning and going to the Democratic Convention this week on saturday, though, they will come back and vote on a bill that would give 25 billion to the u. S. Postal service which is really struggling. Its also going to roll back some of the changes that have been put in place by the postmaster general democrats worry those changes are sabotaging the Postal Services ability to conduct mailin voting in the election this fall. The president for his part continues to tweet and spoke to reporters today as he departed the white house, venting some of his criticisms of the Postal Service, saying its been mismanaged for years and also saying that mailin voting is a, quote, very dangerous thing. So just how bad is the financial picture at the post office the q3 report is out 17. 6 billion in revenue for the Postal Service, over 19. 8 billion in expenses. Do the math, that gives you a 2. 2 billion net loss for the Postal Service just in the third quarter. So they are losing a significant amount of money there. And you look at the way the pandemic has really changed the Postal Service in terms of its operations all of the stuff that you get in the mail is down for the most part, except for shipping and packages so marketing mail down 37. 2 , first class mail down 6. 4 , but shipping and packages, as weve all shifted to this sort of work from home amazon package dropoff at your house, all of that is up 53. 6 . So some big changes for the Postal Service during the course of this pandemic, and they do need some money. Democrats say that funding is on the way. Well see if the president is inclined to sign a bill in the senate, kelly. There are so many issues with the post office. The question whether they can get ballots to people is a pending question of whether mailin ballots are a good idea . Sure. There is one thing which is the practicality of doing it the second thing is should it be done in the first place. The president says mailin voting is ripe for fraud he says foreign governments could meddle in the election using mailin ballots. Democrats say, no, thats not the case, and because of the pandemic, more americans are going to vote by mail this year. Its expected in any year previous to this its going to be a test of that system and the integrity of the election themselves. Democrats say they worry that the president , through the postmaster general, is meddling in the post offices ability to have a Fair Election they said it could be months or years before we know the result of this election if the bulk is done by mail the president says thats not a good result. The democrats say they can tally pretty quick and they should have an election eamon javers, thank you were going to speak with one analyst who says the vaccine stock could be part of the euphoria we saw in the pot stocks we all know how that ended baba, bullion and big apple bookings all of that ahead, too stay with us you say the customers make their own rules.

Welcome back as a lot of Companies Receive trials for their covid19 vaccines. Their stocks have been on a tear take a look at novavax, biotech and moderna. My next guest says vaccine stocks could be the next pot stocks tell us about the similarity you see here, jared holz thank you for having me, i really appreciate it these vaccines seem to be their own separate universe with respect to performance, with respect to different trial managements and the result it just makes me think back to the marijuana stocks of 2017 and 2018 where we saw a very similar setup. These were all sort of penny stocks or the equivalent to that, and then they exploded when the Investor Base thought this was going to be the next, you know, leg of growth. Look at them now, theyre all trading much closer to multiyear lows than multiyear highs as the crowded nature of the space and reality has set in im not suggesting that the data sets were going to get here are going to be unequivocally negative, i just feel like were in the same sort of psychological zone we were in back then. Yeah, and youve compared the market caps whereas cannabis stock started out worth 2 billion, then they circled to 41 billion. There was scotts miracle gro and you take that out and it was even less. Vaccine surges started at 32 billion and now theyre at 165 billion. I know the government is not seeing this to be a major profit engine thats totally right. When we look at the number of players here and what the government has already done in terms of funding, weve gotten almost 10 million worth of funding and thats a combination of Development Effort but also procurement. So buying the vaccines, buying the injections before we even know what the phase 3 data is. I think just based on the comments out of the large pharma group, johnson johnson, merck and others, it seems like the other companies will be more aggressive on price or at least cognizant of the fact were dealing with a pandemic, so how much theyre willing to charge, i think there will be at least some sort of sentiment around as far as what theyre willing to take yeah, and moderna as well you could argue, well, they have more at stake. They have more expense and more kind of on the line for this, so thats why there may be less negotiating on price but i think the bigger issue as well from all of us who are curious about when this vaccine will be developed and how quickly i dont want to put it quite this way, but do you think none of these, quote, unquote, vaccine names are going to come through and have a vaccine in the end or are you saying even if they do, you got to be careful because of the way theyve been trading. Yeah, the latter point, kelly, for sure. I was with you a couple months ago in terms of, you know, trying to get ahead of what we thought was going to be a very accelerated approval timeline prior to the election, and i think you see a lot of politicians, including the president , sort of echo that view over the past couple of weeks. But to your question, even if we get several of these vaccine players that could have good data, its going to be, you know, several companies, if not more, that are buying for this market share in what i believe is going to be a very, very price sensitive market furthermore, we dont know how long covid19 is going to last so many of the experts have been wrong with respect to the duration of this virus, anyway so what if coronavirus goes away in 2021 or, you know, better off, sometime this year . What happens to the valuations of these companies if we get through a period of time where the virus is less severe there are so many things to consider here, and i think the number of players, the level of competition is also one of my concerns here. I just want to ask you before you go to make sure people are aware, youre approaching this as a Health Care Expert strategist so these valuations are in front of you every day. What would you recommend to someone who wants exposure to a vaccine maker, if not someone we already mentioned . I think the less risky is to own the large pharma Cap Companies that have some basis or stability under the vaccine themselves that would be astrazeneca, merck and sanofi if youre not paying for any of those programs, i think in addition i would be recommending the manufacturers, the Research Organizations that are involved in all of these companies. Its sort of like the levi strauss of the gold rush when you see the levels jared, its good to have you. Thank you, sir jared holz of jeffries amazon and facebook may be the most highprofile names that investors are buying these days, but believe it or not, they are not the highest bought plus, unethical. Thats how one of our guests talks outhabt e changeup robinhood. Were back in two. [ chuckles ] whoo. Im gonna grow big and strong. Yes, you are. Im gonna get this place all clean. Ill give you a hand. And im gonna put lisa on crutches wait, what . Said shes gonna need crutches. She fell pretty hard. You might want to clean that up, girl. Excuse us. When owning a Small Business gets real, progressive helps protect what you built with customizable coverage. And im gonna eh, eh, eh. Donny, no. Oh. Welcome back to the exchange. Lets get a check on markets the dow is kind of the kid left sitting out of class today hes down 53 points, but everybody else is positive and thats where the major headlines of the session come in the s p 500 is up a third of 1 , 3385 were just a point below its alltime closing high, 1886. The nasdaq has already achieved that, but in the last couple minutes it hit a new record intraday high. Now a new intraday high in the s p. Heres some of the individual movers were also on apple 2 trillion watch this afternoon apple would need to hit 4457 were at 458 per stock today overstock is an unploobelievaby volatile name, its up 22 today. Virgin galactic is coming back to earth watch delays are highlighting an uncertainty. Its under 18. Finally take a look at bitcoin its trading back at 12,000 thats the highest level in more than a year, flip side as weve been talking about in the past hour lets get to sue herera for our cnbc update. Sue . Hello, kelly, hello, everybody. Some disturbing new numbers on covid and kids according to the cdc, the number of children infected with covid19 is increasing a little over 7 of all reported cases were among children as of august 3rd children make up about 22 of the u. S. Population. Cook county states attorney general kim fox is found to have abused discretion in the case of actor Jessie Smullet they found abuses of discretion and failures a heat wave continues to scorch the southwest United States 130 degrees was recorded in the death valley of california it is said to be the highest temperature ever recorded on the planet death valley also holds the record for the highest temperature ever, 134 degrees set back in 1913, but that number is disputed due to the lack of modern technology at that point suffice it to say, kell, it is really, really hot out there yeah, and we experienced that the last couple weeks on a more modest way over this part. Sue, thank you very much when we think about stocks that investors seem to be piling into this days, we often think of apple, amazon and facebook. But you might be surprised its not the famed heavyweights that are overbought dom chu is here with more. As we talk about the moves that weve seen, kelly, the idea is we have measures of momentum that a lot of traders look towards to see if a stock is something they call overbought or really moved to the upside in a short amount of time or oversold moving to the downside in a short amount of time. So take a look at these two measures of momentum just two, there are many of them out there. Moving averages is one of them just take a look at how many or how a stock is performing given its relative performance to its average price over, say, the last 10, 20, 50 or 200 days. The other one is a relative strength index or rsi. Youll hear that one referred to quite a bit as well. This one takes a look at how a stock is trading right now given how its traded against its gains and losses over a short period of time those particular ones in context. Amazon. Com we know its been a juggernaut so far its worth 1. 5 trillion this purplish line represents the 50th average price for the stock, but look where amazon is. That gap right there is about 8 higher than where its traded on average the last 55 days thats a pretty good trend for amazon take a look at this particular stock, best buy its getting a hit from the covid trade. That hit has put it roughly 22 above its average price for the last 50 days so by some measures, kelly, amazon, yes, very much a positive momentum story, but some other stocks out there have had a lot more positive momentum relative to their average prices its something a lot of traders look at, but well continue to watch some of these names, best buy being one of them. Its fascinating, i wouldnt have thought best buy. We know its a good performer, but still. Best buy is the crowned king today. Year to date the stock is one of the better performers in the retail landscape 20 gains year to date are not too shabby given everything thats happened. Its up 124 when back in march it was trading at just 48, and it pays a dividend of 2 thats a higher payout right now than apple, microsoft and amazon a steady stream of elopements in new york hotels. Stay with us or make me feel like im not really there. Talk to your doctor, and call 8442342424. Welcome back lets catch you up on a few stories that should be on your radar today. It is time for rapid fire. Here to break down it is headlines are robert frank, dom chu and don fort its great to have everybody here alibaba is the latest caught up in a sprint transport. The president said hes giving up on alibaba unanimous executive order, giving them 45 days to find a buyer how important is putting alibaba in the conversation right now . I dont get it. The Trump Administration undermining its own claim not wanting china to have access to u. S. Data. Thats not the business that alibaba is in. This is not a consumer app everyone has on their phone, this is about a business accessing chinese manufacturer capacity when you throw them in, is it really about protecting u. S. Data or is it really about some political fight . Robert, what do you think i think you couple that with tiktok the administration on friday put out an announcement saying this has to be done by november they already said a deal has to be done by september 20, or no u. S. Companies could do business with tiktok. What will be interesting after that deal iswhether the chines allowed the u. S. Government to look at all the financials, to interview employees of tiktok and its parent company, and to look through all the financials and all the technologies so these requirements, to jons point, go beyond the scope of are you protecting data to really are we sort of encroaching on their rights and their companies with the u. S. Government i wonder, dom, if its kind of testing the water somewhat to say is there an appetite among the u. S. Public to further splinternet the business relationships between u. S. And Chinese Companies whether or not accessing data on my phone has anything to do with it its testing the waters and its also kind of changing the temperature, right it wasnt that long ago you saw President Trump, thencandidate trump, standing next to the founder of alibaba talking about the Success Story john mau was President Trump has talked about the last eight months being a lot different. Look at the last four years. It wasnt too long ago these two were on good terms now it looks like that relationship has thawed out a bit and frozen up again. Jon, im not saying its a slip of the tongue, but what other buckets could alibaba fall into and more cracking down on huawei, is it possible this isnt about data surveillance, it just goes back to this whole of titfortat i think thats the political direction, but watching this from a financial perspective and from a kind of technological perspective, i think its important to keep eyes on data and principles whatever governments are doing, whatever companies are doing strategically, its important, i think, to know what are the base considerations about data, about security, and about strategy that are important here, because politicians, they have their own priority yes, and we know well be hearing a lot of them in the next couple months, but your points are well taken, guys, i appreciate it. Lets talk about Berkshire Hathaways bet on gold and to warn buffetts criticism of the natural metal, this is only 600 million, only about a quarter of the portfolio. The shares are up over 11 today. Dom, lets talk about whats really going on. Theres no way this was Warren Buffett himself buying, right . Theres no way people who are more familiar with Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway than i am all say this was not Warren Buffett putting it into action himself it could be the two guys taking over the Warren Buffett portfolio. We know he takes part in multi, multibillion dollar transactions barrick gold, this is interesting only because weve seen the fruits of their labor the stocks have surged because the pandemic has put a tailwind to that. Its just interesting that this barrick gold trade has taken every gold miner up with it. Anything you would add to that, robert i would just say lets not confuse the community with the commodities. Hes buying a lot of gold and it fits his criteria. It generates a huge amount of income, 400 billion last year its 11 times earning and its fairly cheap and pays a good dividend as a company, it fits the buffett standards and lets not confuse it with actual physical gold which he has rightly said it doesnt make sense for berkshire to own its just that these companies have been around forever. Does he think now the value whatever ill take it with a grain of salt, it just is a very headscratching move today next, a group of california state legislators are proposing a statewide wealth tax this is the first of its kind in the u. S. The proposed rate 0. 4 of net worth over 30 million this comes as the golden state obviously faces a huge debt over the pandemic how much chance do you think this actually has of becoming law in california . Totally unclear the government has weighed in in new york they had a similar rate tax on gains. The states are in dire financial situations right now, california looking at a 54 billion deficit, new york 13 billion, and the money has got to come from somewhere in both those states it has to come from the wealthy. Thats the only taxpayer where you can generate enough income the wealth tax, 4. 4 on assets over 30 million. If youre worth 50 million, you pay maybe 200,000 a year extra in california. That doesnt sound like a lot, but thats on top of a millionaires tax that would push the top rate in california to 16. 8 , so youre talking about a combined federal and state rate of 54 alone. Add the wealth tax on top of that, that could drive more wealthy or even affluent californians out of the state. Jon fortt, i read an article of texit peopchsit. Will there be a wealth flight coming you buy stock in zoom, maybe a tier down from there because they can afford to pay whatever tax. The folks who have money but dont want to fork over that 200,000 that he was talking about. Elon musk is talking about moving headheadquarters. I think its interesting theyre so seriously floating this proposal, maybe out of desperation, but it would seem like the worst climate in which to do it lets stay in california and stay with the theme here of what were talking about. This also pertains to some Major Companies headquartered there. Uber and lyft, uber may come tie halt this week uber eats will be able to carry on because the company is a delivery service, not a Ride Hailing Service. Uber Ride Hailing Service may end if the insistence of becoming an employee stands. This was wasnt a longterm business plan. No, they were forced into it. Uber and lyft operate in these particular jurisdictions right now under this kind of assumption that the drivers are independent contractors, you pay them for what they do and nothing more no benefits, anything like that. If you start to change that Business Model, things become a little bit more dynamic with regard to whether or not the company can be affected by the payroll cost and expenses but whether the drivers want to be part of that ecosystem im not sure if its a longer secular trend, right the transmission of people was why this company existed i dont know if it stays long term and jon fortt, ill go back with you whats the future of uber and lyft if theyre not operating in california in the ridesharing business i think the future is they press the voters to change the law in this situation so its no longer an issue. I think the politics here is another case where theyre so exciting that people may lose track of the court issue the court issue is supposed to be benefits for these workers. Do they have Health Benefits do they have unemployment and sick leave protection . There are other ways to do that other than classifying them as traditional employees. Hopefully some more of those get explored maybe this forces the issue back to the ballot box, so to speak. And finally, guys, as new york city slowly reopens for business, hotels are reopening after more than five months in lockdown tourism and travelers are still pretty absent because local residents are on staycations and newlyweds are booking a Record Number of rooms. Theyre literally calling this tout as a portion of the Business Hotels say a lot of local new yorkers are coming to these hotel rooms. I think a room thats more cramped and overpriced than a manhattan apartment is a Manhattan Hotel room im dubious these guys will do well manhattan was already overhoteled in precovid you have 22,000 coming in the next 20 months, and they were already in default in january and february i think this whole industry in new york has to come down in price and investors will have to take a lower return, and ultimately there just has to be fewer hotel rooms. Even precovid, there were way too many and prices and room rates were coming down dom this is a matter of survival, just like uberand lyft theyre going to delivery because its not their core business, but it could be. With hotels this is just to make sure you have enough money in the door to keep you afloat until things come back to normal i think its great to think of entrepreneurial ways to stay afloat, because we will get back to normal. Im stuck on eloping newlyweds. Really mr. And mrs. Smith for this hotel room theyre going to have to show the marriage contract to be counted that way thank you all today. We appreciate it robert frank, dom chu and jon fortt joining us for rapid fire. Ethical . Shame on you thats just some of the words robinhood has for its executives you can always watch us live and on the go on our cnbc app. Were back in a couple welcome back robinhood announcing today its landed its third Mega Investment for the year, pushing its investment over 11 billion. As the valuation is growing, so is the scrutiny. Robinhood is not doing enough to protect investors, according to shawn caston a trader died by suicide after seeing a 30,000 negative balance in his robinhood account. Its great to have you here, shawn. Thank you for being here hi, kelly, how are you . We are concerned about this tragic event with a suicide. What changes do you think need to be made look, we need to confront the fact that robinhood is a Business Model i fault no one for trying to make money i spent 16 years as an entrepreneur myself as a ceo and thought i would never be in congress hopefully that experience counts for something. They have a Business Model that is fundamentally based on creating addictions that is being presented to people as a way to generate well we need to be honest about that. We have an obligation in our current job. I have an obligation to protect investors. Theyre not holding up their end of the bargain lets talk about what that would look like, because obviously robinhood isnt the only platform where people can trade in the market, and time immemorial, people are getting burned about what it means to make a good investment what changes do you think specifically need to be made o e a platform like robinhoods . I learned from my dad if youre sitting at a poker table and you cant tell who the fish is, then youre the fish this is a business that makes money off money flow they advertise free trades, and then they use behavioral techniques that are no different than anything that get my daughters addicted to their video games to get people to go further. They comply with the letter of the law, know your customer, but the fact that roger kearns was able to get a larger account, as he said, how did i as a 20yearold have the ability to borrow 20 million when i have no income. Let me ask it this way. What is within Congress Power to do . If im robinhood and i would hope they realized from this episode that maybe there should be a better way to display the information so he understands what is really a loss and what is at stake and so forth, but what changes can you make to tactically avoid that kind of misunderstanding without changing the experience others may have on the app . Look, we created the sec years ago. It was created to protect investors. I think sometimes we lose sight of that when we say our financial regulars have an obligation to democratize acces to capital when we had him on a few months ago, he masaid it was an sec organization and if investors dont understand the disclosures theyre given, we are not doing our job as regulators to protect investors. I introduced a bill hr15 early in this congress specifically to do market testing of sec disclosures which would essentially say the same as any Business Marketing agency does if you ask people what is being disclosed and they cant answer that question accurately, then we have done our job we have passed on thho senate tt up the sec could do that by rule. Let me ask you this given what you laid out, would you consider banning robinhood i think im going to punt on that question because when the question is, when the issue is a company has not violated the law but has behaved unethically. To some degree its on us as regulators to make sure we tighten up the law on the other hand i think the question f pceo, you have to recognize that you have an obligation, if i was the ceo of a company, i would be doing a lot more reflection. Its good to have you keep us posted the company hasnt yet responded to request for comment about its Business Model were going to talk to a couple selling literally cheap old houses on instagram right after this i felt completely helpless.
