Crash victims planned a protest outside that meeting. Phil lebeau will join us from detroit at the top of the next hour. Im sure well get an opportunity to talk to him about what this is all about. Web hosting company go daddy filing for an ipo up to 100 million. It said 100. 100 million. I could help them with that if i owned the entire company. You could. You could. Thats an important word, million. Could have been priced at 100. Could have been 100 a share. Who knows half the time. Thats what makes it the job would get dull. Right. Just reading stuff without actually its almost like a puzzle, almost like a puzzle of what were trying to say. If it was just reading, none of us would be we dont want to do that. No word on which exchange godaddy intends to list on or the symbol it would adopt. Go daddy perhaps best known for one of our favorite guests on this program, future race car driver danica patrick. The company was founded in 1997, acquired in 2011, kkr and silver lake. They had a model, that was her there, they had one prior to that that i thought was one of your favorites. We had her as a guest and they had the famous ads. What does the guy say . Not just a member. Im president of the fan club. A clients or whatever. I use go daddy. What does it do . I use d it five or six years ago. Some of them were so racy, they got criticism. Yes, they did. Bathroom stalls, cleavage. This years were not as racy but pretty cool, too. Racy in a different way, danica. This year was not danica. She was last year. The previous year. This year i have no idea. The thing with the big weight lifters. Anyway, its a long story. We should tell you this morning, about a couple other things. The head of paypal is stepping down to join facebook. I wonder what this means . We saw john donahoe last week. David marcus has been running the ebay unit for two years. He will soon run messaging products for facebook. That could hint that they are using transactions. This was a highlevel poach. Mark zuckerberg got in with this. It must have something to do with monetization. They bought a company. Donahoe has talked in the past about how a lot of people, he buys in, entrepreneurs, he brings them in. This was a ceo of another company they thought about three years ago. Interesting from that perspective. One other piece of facebook news, that company accidentally releasing its snapchat competitor yesterday. The new photo and video sharing app called slingshot popped up yesterday afternoon but was then pulled down. The Company Spokesman says the app will be ready soon. Facebook tried to buy snapchat 3 billion last year. Have you been snapchating. No. As a parent im not a fan of it. I dont think its the type of thing its better than regular messaging. No. As a parent you cant track what your kids are sending back and forth. Its concerning. As kids get older you start to wonder what youre doing. Not at this age but at some age. I would prefer everything disappear that they do. So it doesnt i think it makes them think things disappear. They feel like they can send stuff. You want to make sure if you live in europe now you can erase your history. Its all okay. Theres a good theres a really good piece, i was going to send it to you, becky. Does it have to do with ger s s germs . No. Its a narrative piece. I wouldnt have liked if you sent that to me. Ill take a welcome at it anyway. Yes, take a look at it. If you look deeply, its a vision. Brett stephens. International game tech knowledges reportedly hired Morgan Stanley to explore a sale. This is a company i followed for so long. Its been rumored off and on to be for sale. The Company Makes slot machines. Reuters says that igt has been working on a sale for more than two months. Lets check on the markets, even if it goes up 20 points a day, in the dow, that continues to get us remember weve been over 16,000 a few times. Now it looks like we may finally get close to 17,000. Yesterday, the s p closed above 1950. 1951. But you can see today that were going to give back a little, at least on the open. Lets take a look at it is summer. Its the summer driving season. Oil, its been quiet but theres a new price for oil and its basically 100. Tenyear, maybe 2. 60 is sort of there. Theres an interesting chart in the journal on the front page. Any questions as to why this has gone down and down and down. We should have been watched what happened in spain. You can see whats happened in the tenyear happening globally. Instead of looking for answers, the entire globe, theres the tenyear spanish bond. So if spain comes from 4 to below us, why would we be going up . I dont know why these bond experts didnt figure that. All the economists didnt figure out maybe you should look at global Interest Rates. Lets look at the dollar. I need about 1. 20 to book a trip over there. You have a ways to wait. Were you robert frank source on these luxury safaris . I was not. Hes coming on. They are really pricey. Really pricey. That goes without saying. He didnt just interview you . He didnt just interview me. I sent it to some friends. I heard about it yesterday. I saw robert. Stop try ing ing t ing ting anything higher. Oh, yes. Werent you that close to animals . He werent on a moving safari. I dont like setting up or taking down camp. You dont have to do that, do you . Oh, no. You show up, they do the setting up and setting down. Yes. You were at a structure where you stayed. Yes. The elephants would come and drink in front of you. Didnt you see lions and tigers and bears . No bear. You saw lions and tigers . No tigers. Apparently 88 staffers for 18 people. 88 staffers for 18 people . Yes. Wow. Robert has much more details on this. Thats a ratio higher than your apartment. Our ratio is 73. 734 . This is how bad my math is. The dow which we were just talking about and the s p closed at alltime highs again yesterday. Fresh new record alltime highs. While the vix is now trading at precrisis, prefinancial crisis levels at 11, just dead in the water, joining us now to talk volatility is joe bell, senior Equity Analyst at schaeffers investment research. Who first said its too quiet . It is. Isnt this a time where you start wondering if something is brewing, joe, or not . Thats the question a lot of people are talking about whether this means theres complacency in the market. We look back historically when the vix first drops below 12, what does that mean . It its happened quite a bit, its generally a characteristic of the bull market. If you look at one month, three month and six months out, it generally doesnt trigger automatic higher volatility. It triggers lower than normal volatility versus anytime return. Even during the prefinancial crisis we dipped below 12, about 2 1 2 years ahead of the market top. Its a characteristic of the uptrend, not necessarily an automatic sell signal. At schaeffers, do you try to interpret why its happening . Or do you look at whats happening and trying to figure out where its going from here . I can make two cases. One is that the economic backdrop is kind of benign. Its almost kind of a goldilocks thing. Inflation, someone wrote a piece today that its higher than people think. Feldstein . Who wrote that . Yes, Marty Feldstein wrote one that it is above. Is it because its generally benign and a pretty Good Environment or is it what other people say, the fed is still here and they are masking the normal volatility from pumping so much money into the system . Yes. Thats definitely true. Weve been hearing that for quite some time as far as this being a fedfueled rally and things of that nature. When you talk about the volatility, even the 20day historical volatility on the s p 500, its below what the current implied volatility is. Participants are embratsing or expecting higher volatility than what weve had. One interesting thing on the vix call activity, we look at that a lot. Its become a popular hedge the past couple of years for hedge funds and institutions. That higher volatility generally happens during market declines. Weve seen about as five times as many calls on the puts for the past 20 days. Its becoming a more common theme for people to hedge and brace for the higher volatility which insulates the market, the potential downside. Theyre not going to do that panic selling if we get some sort of pullback. It creates a floor. I can see that when they make the case that someone like president goldman, that they cant trade now because theres no volatility. Citigroup will have a dropoff in trading volume. If the fed and central bankers around the world continue to keep Interest Rates artificially low, the money finds its way into Financial Assets and even if there would be something that would cause people to sell, they dont sell because theres nowhere else to go. Do you think that is part of whats happening here . Thats part of it. When you talk about the stock market, theres hundreds, thousands of different factors that go into what affects the market. Thats one key factor to look at. We look at expectations, how high or how low the bar is set for the market. You talk about rates and Interest Rates and bonds in the u. S. That goes right along with that. We saw polls where 95 of people expected higher rates than 2014. Its one example of if the masses believe one way, its often the opposite case, because they believe in one theme. Have you ever had a tom and chi . No, not yet but its becoming popular. I had never seen shank tank. Im watching it. Blake happened to see it and she says its like living the dream. Were watching reruns of shark tank. They put bacon on it, all kinds of stuff on it. That kevin oleary is that on a doughnut . No, its not just doughnuts. Its Grilled Cheese and tomato soup. I remember Grilled Cheese on a glazed doughnut. That was a specialty or something. Yes, hes in cincinnati. Thats where he started. You can get a franchise. Its interesting to watch that. Anyway, we watched this. I watched one period, until 9 00. If you couldnt win the first two games you were going to have trouble. They needed to win one of those. The Los Angeles Kings beat the rangers at Madison Square garden to take a 30 lead. And i dont know whether we have this one i mean, it looked like it was in the goal. The guys name is quick, jonathan quick. He wasnt even in front of it. He flailed and stuck his stick out. A ranger was in front and still couldnt put it in the net. They didnt put any in. Hes been amazing this guy, quick. Hes quick. He is. Stopping 32 shots for the shutout. The kings 30 in the best of seven series. Game four is wednesday night. Were Still Holding out hope. That would be the ultimate comeback is always pbl. You never know. How often has that happened . I dont know if its ever happened in almost any world series, anything that goes seven games, when youre down three, its rare for someone to come back. This should be an assignment. Well talk about hillarys book. We should read brett stephens, i like the idea that she still doesnt know if shes running. I just dont know whether im going to run. As opposed to jeb bush or Chris Christie or anybody else. Theyve all declared theyre in the race . No, theyre not on a book tour going from stop to stop to stop. It is a much bigger question if theyre going to run. This is ludicrous. I like it. I like the way they talk about the scripted nature. Well talk about miss hillary. When we come back, this mornings executive edge goes on Hillary Clintons hard choices book tour. Will they let babies and kids into first class . Thats andrews question. Choreographed reality. Coming up in the next half hour. There you go. Welcome back, everybody. Its time for the executive edge. We start with politics. Hillary clinton embarking on a book tour and a comment she made in and an interview last night getting a lot of buzz this morning. The chairman of the rnc tweeted how out of touch is Hillary Clinton when dead broke means mannings and huge speaking fees. Diane sawyer pressed her. She said, okay, it was funny, when we were trying to buy houses and trying to get mortgages. And someone said, but, correct me if im wrong, hillary, but 200,000 per speech, do you think people 5 million in speaking fees. 100 million is what they made. Hes worked so hard. Do you really think average americans, who make 40,000 or 50,000 a year, if you can make that for a twohour speech, do you think they can empathize with you. She did a great job trying to answer the question. I think they had millions of dollars in legal fees. Its hard for an average person to relate to any of that, including having millions of dollars of legal fees. Going into the white house, you have a lot of costs while youre there. If youre trying to maintain a household in washington, d. C. And back in your home district and pay to go back and forth a lot of those people do go into debt. That is true. When you come out the other side you have a chance to make a lot of money back because of the prestige. They might have had a few more legal fees than some of the other inhabitants that went into the white house. There were things going on. I have not seen the lewinsky stuff yet with diane sawyer. She probably has that totally down on how to handle that. She has benghazi down. Did you read the lewinsky piece in vanity fair . I did. What do you think of that . It was very well written. Bill maher feels bad . I think she had help with it. It was incredibly well written and it made me rethink some of the things i thought before. For benghazi she was saying, diane sawyer was pushing her on whether she wished she had done been more concerned with the safety of the embassy. She was saying, well, i put a lot of pressure on people who knew how to do things like that. They know how far away barriers have to be to prevent a saw cried bombin suicide bombing. I pressed them hard myself. She had a pretty good answer. You figure she would have. Thats why shes going on tour to put a lot of these things to rest ahead of a potential campaign. Exactly. We dont know. Potentially. Donald sterling is pulling his support from a deal to sell his l. A. Clippers to former microsoft ceo steve ballmer. Sterlings Attorney Says he will pursue a 1 billion lawsuit against the nba. We thought this was a done deal. Privately some suggested this is because the nba said it wouldnt reverse the lifetime ban or cut the fine if he went along with the sale. He thought that somehow if he sold the team hes not saying that now. This is what people are speculating. He wants to sell the team as long as he can go to the games . Hes saying the whole deal is off, forget about any of it. This was based on private recordings that were illegally made and used by the nba, so they shouldnt be able to take any of these steps. I think he wants to hold on to the team. Do we believe the tapes were illegally made . Those two deserve each other. V. Stiviano. Phil jackson, hes very tall and won a lot of championships. He hired derek fisher. Hopefully hell be a great coach. He was a great player, point guard put he doesnt have a lot of experience coaching. 5 million a year for five years. In your view, you think ceos may get overpaid. Because theres no real market. Dont you think they could have gotten some dude in here for 600,000 a year to coach . They could have but they couldnt have got phil jackson. No, not phil jackson, derek fisher. Yes. They could have gotten a lot of people why go right to 25 million whether you dont know if hes going to be any good or not . Do you think he would have taken the job for 600,000 . I dont know. Somebody else might have taken it. You could have gotten a good basketball coach. You dont know that. You dont know if you could get a good basketball coach for a million a year . Theres plenty of coaches around that would do it for a million a year. He wanted that one. Theres a market for that guy and then theres the market for the other dude. No one else was offering derek, necessarily, a job. How do we know . Maybe derek didnt want to work. You had to pay him a certain threshold. I think we should be happy when someone does well. I dont disagree with you at all. Even if ceos, the only thing i think that we should care about is the cronyism issue that youve discussed, putting that on you now. Good. I like it because i think youre right. I think hes said that the crone did i boards, that has largely been dealt with. I dont know if thats true or not. Would you serve on a board . Youre on boards for charities. If i wasnt a journalist, yes. Youre on a charity board. I was on the board of Robert Wood Johnson university hospital. I stepped down when i had kyle. That was the only board i served on. No ones asked me. A Public Company board . Were not allow eed to serven corporate boards. Thats good because thats why i dont do it. Because im in demand. Lets talk about one more story, a private u. S. Cybersecurity unit is accusing a unit of chinas military of hacking. The firm says that the chinese unit conducted farreaching hacking operations. The Security Company suggests the shanghai based unit has attacked networks of western Government Agencies and defense contractors since 2007 and, guys, this was sophisticated. They would send out something that looked like it was an ad to go to a yoga studio in france or something. It was a glossy looking thing. If you clicked on it, they could get in and steal your secrets. Dont click on stuff if you know who its coming from and may look a little weird. The nigerians have stopped emailing me. Thats not a real offer . No, sorry. Youll be waiting a long time for that to come through. The nigerian guy is not youre not going to get a call back. Thats 100 times what the average is that 100 times . 50,000 thats how much hillary was making speaking. Ten times 50,000 is 500,000. So the guy, his starting salary is 100 times the average salary. Im proud of him. Good for his family. Its good for his family. I agree. I celebrated whenever anyone does well. I dont really feel like you reciprocate there. More to talk about when we come back. Well get back to the markets on a recordbreaking streak as the dow marches toward 17,000, well check out some stocks to watch in the next half hour, including a banking join the that could have room to run.

Im joe kernen along with becky quick and andrew ross sorkin. Youre not related to this guy. I am not. The goalie. What about quick riley. No relation. I see christopher quick sometimes and we call each other cou suxt. Im not related to him. No. Have you ever done the 23 and me, the dna tested where you can find out who youre related to . Youre related to all kinds of people. Were probably all related to adam and eve. I think becky and i could be related. Really . You claim him. Im not. Be aerospace raising its fullyear earnings guidance, planning to split into two companies. And met life announcing a 1 billion share buy back. If they bought back a billion shares, that would probably be back the entire company, right . Let me just see. 61 billion company. Just over a billion shares. That would be a 90 buy back. Its a billion dollar share buy back. The last time the Company Repurchased shares was 2008. And the ft reports that chicos has held talks with private equity firms in recent weeks about a possible sale and shares are rising on the news and extend trading. Do you remember what the fas stands for . Fashion arts no, no. No. Fas fsa i know. Its in london. Its a word that if you mess up arts specialties. Folk art specialties. You have to be careful. Very close. Folk. Very close. Folk. Folk. I dont say folk. Theres an l in there for a reason. Its folk. Like yolk. Yolk. Egg yolk. You say yolk. Yoke is a word, isnt it . Yes. Whats yolk . Thats in an egg. Whats yoke . He knows about basketball, our guest. He does. He has something to say about that. Very quickly, lets take a look at the markets. Weve been watching the futures. After four days of gains, the futures give back a little bit. Dow futures down by 19 points, s p off by 3. 5. Europe in the some of the early trading right now, youll see not major moves across any of the markets. The biggest is a decline of 0. 5 . In asia, overnight, checking out these markets, youll see the shanghai composite was up by about 1 . In japan, the nikkei was down by 0. 8 . Oil prices this morning, if youre looking at wti, its up about 37 cents. Wow. Wti is getting back towards 105 a barrel. That has to concern some people. Right now its 104. 78. The tenyear note is still yielding at this point, 2. 624 . Its picked up a little bit from last week. You are pushing above 2. 6 . The dollar right now, youll see is up against the euro. Euro is at 1. 3539. Thats weaker than we saw last week, even after mario draghi moved. The dollar is down against the yen. Gold prices lack like they are down slightly. The s p 500 finishing at a record high for the fourth straight session. The dow making it three in a row as it creeps toward the 17,000 level. Joining us it bill snead, the ceo of snead capital management. It seems like every day were talking about new records. Youre also looking at 1950 for the s p 500. That makes you nervous, though . It makes you nervous because historically, most years you have a 10 correction from peak to trough. Weve gone a couple years without one. Things like merger and acquisition activity is something historically has given you a reason to concerned. 1987, the first nine months of the year, the great big acquisitions, r. J. Nabisco and some of those things. As a veteran, you get more cautious. Valuations themselves are not running out of control at this point, if youre looking at p e ratios versus forward earnings . No. The Small Cap Indexes have very high price earnings ratios on a trailing basis and the large cap indexes do. I noticed the last couple of days, the Small Cap Index had a nice move again. We believe that over the next three or four years that large will outperform small by quite a bit. But, again, theres a lot of things been going on lately. You mentioned almost 105 oil. Wall street is the only place in the world where as the competitors come in and become your enemy that people bid up the price of the industry. So at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting charlie monger said competition is the enemy of competence. That means theres a whole lot of incompetent oil and gas people out there right now. Every tom, dick and harry in the world is poking holes in the ground. I was in london in late january and the Daily Telegraph headline was fracing in northern england. If theyre fracing in northern england, that means there arent any places in the world that holes arent being poked in the ground. The largest user of gas in the world is the United States. Weve used less. Our mileage per gallon standards are set up to be dramatically higher over ten years. Why is there a bed every day . Theres a bed every day in that market. Why . Theres way more competition and, therefore, way less competence which means ultimately prices should fall quite a bit. Lets talk about some of the stocks you like. Even though youre concerned about where prices have gotten, there are some that you really like, including ebay. Why . Interesting. David marcus, i dont know if you read david marcuss piece that he wrote back to the ebay employees that he was leaving. In the tech world, if you work there for three years, they write a 0year letter. Facebook, apple, amazon, google, they all covet paypal. They all covet it. Because theyre completely dominating the Payment System. Its the most popular, widely used and security Payment System. So if facebook hires the guy thats with just running it, what does that tell you about facebooks intentions . Hes coming here to do messaging. Really . Are they going to generate revenue off that . Or are they going to be one of the three companies thats trying to buy ebay and they want to have the guy running it sitting in the house. You like ebay because you think theyre going to get bought . Think about it. When facebook was getting ready to go public, theyll have a huge capitalization, they want to do this or that. Google and apple, these companies have so much money on the books, google made a 400 million attempt to create a competitor to paypal. Thats a 62 billion company. It is. How much cash is on the Balance Sheet . In the private equity world, the small and midstuff is all picked over. Youll see the natural progression we saw in 87 which is the buyouts get bigger. From a private equity standpoint . No, no, strategics youre saying. Heres what happens. They want paypal. They dont necessarily want the marketplace business. It is profitable and successful. Youre making the argument that carl icahn made around ebay. Thats right. In other words, we agreed with icahn but we didnt necessarily think splitting up is the right thing. What we do know is google made a 400 million attempt to create a Payment System that failed miserably. Just the idea that one of these companies can sit down, in fact, ebay goes down every time somebody says theyre going in the payments business. Right . Amazon is going in the payments business. Ebay goes down. Apple says they want to go into the payments business, ebay goes down. Facebook hires david marcus, ebay goes down. The bottom line is they all want to be in that business. You dont think hiring david marcus is more of a sign of trying to create it yourself rather than planning to buy ebay . Look, talk to google. They spent 400 million trying to create it themselves. And failed miserably. Nobody even remembers what the name of their Payment System was. I dont. I think it was google wallet. Is that what it was . The bottom line is, its an incredibly profitable business that generates high Free Cash Flow and the people that might be interested in it, it be google who wants to be in that business or whether it is somebody like amazon, who doesnt generate high Free Cash Flow or facebook which it would be a wonderful way to monetize what theyre doing. I just find it interesting that this guy writes a letter and says all these nice things about the people he worked with and so forth and secondarily, hes going to work at a company that would love to find a why to monetize 500 million eye balls every day. Let me ask you quickly about bank of america. Thats another stock you like. Sure. Bank of america, we love the whole Banking Industry in that large, too big to fail category. Theyre the new philip morris, the most sued, regulated, politicized and damned company of the last 50 years was philip morris. It also happens to be the best performing stock on the New York Stock Exchange during that same 50 years. Were now officially to the point where the large banks are the ones that everybody hates. Heres bank of america, their sins are all six to eight years old. And the good things are all out in their future. Basically as a Value Investor thats all youre looking for in this world is the news, all the bad news is 6 to 8yearold information about countrywide and things that maerrill lynch did before they were owned by bank of america. Whats not to like . A p e of 12 at 30, starting out at 15. Lifes pretty good. And the history of the banks is that they pay 50 of those normalized earnings out in dividends with 1. 25 dividend, that would work pretty well. Thank you very much. You wouldnt say folk singer, youd say folk singer. In truth, the l is not distinctly sounded but it affects the way you say the o im told here. There are words where the l is totally silent, calf, salmon, half, with yolk and folk its not l but it affects the o. You can ask. Google is an amazing thing. I wouldnt say folk. Folks.

When csx trains move forward, so does the rest of the economy. Csx. How tomorrow moves. Welcome back to squawk box. Jetblue going upscale. Morgan joins us from the companys terminal at jfk airport this morning. Good morning. Well, we have button for massages, free inflight wifi. I could even order a cappuccino. This is mint. This is the first ever Premium Service. This starts on flights from new york to los angeles this weekend. Now, this represents a big shift in strategy for jet blue, which has built a brand on on being egalitarian just one tier of service until now, extra space, extra legroom. Despite bigger competitors, the stock has been climbing, hitting a multihigh just yesterday. Mint is for the highly lucrative, trans biz traveler. It has 16 seats, including four seats with doors that can fit a 68 person. Partnering with blue marble ice cream. And the pricing is significantly lower than competitors. Its going from 599 to 999. Analysts say those prices may eventually need to come up. Jet blue is going to struggle to some extent to take away the corporate travelers who is loyal from a frequent flyer perspective of delta. I just question the return that they are able to generate at 599. Okay. So each spacewise, each seat takes up two regular seats. But jetblue took that into account. Whether its in the old formation or the mint formation, relatively similar to the a320. Which means the unit costs per customer are lower. When you combine with increased revenue we think we can generate, that leaves us with a winwin all around. All right. So in a couple of hours we will be on a sill lated flight to test drive all these amenities. In the meantime, im going to break in this seat and take a little power nap. Andrew just has one question.

Its just the image you try to project and then theres the actual you. Have you ever seen an ad for a Business Class by an airline with a screaming baby . Youre not guaranteed a quiet car. Why even have a flatbed. When they walk through and want to serve breakfast and turn on the lights. People do the people in coach deserve the the screaming base because theyre in coach. I did not say that. There are quiet cars on trains. Restaurants that dont have children. Hotels where they say no children. They dont say that about first class. They kind of do, though. Im joe kernen along with becky quick and andrew ross sorkin. The futures at this hour are indicated lower. We have been grinding higher. What does that add up to . If you take 101 points on 18. 50, where is that . 3 or 4 for the year. 10year trading in the mid twos. 2. 62. The amazing thing is the spanish 10year is below the 10year here.

He has a preview of what to expect later this morning. Andrew wants no babies in first class ever, phil. I once had to fly back from india with a screaming child next to me the whole way. I understand andrews pain. But theres also nothing you can do about it. A lot of questions about how much of this meeting will be focused on the business of General Motors separate from the recall crisis and how much will the recall crisis dominate the discussion. When you look at the meeting today it is clear that mary barra would like to focus on going forward, where the company is. The question is whether or not we will hear from victimss families . Will any be speak out at the meeting . And shareholders disappointed with the return over the last three or four months speaking at the meeting. Mary barra is hoping to focus on the business of General Motors separate from the recall crisis. She is going to be meeting with reporters before the annual meeting. This will be the first chance reporters have to talk to her since the release of the investigative report came out last week. It was before we had a chance to look at the internal investigation. Year to date, General Motors sales up 2 . That is lagging the Auto Industry as a whole. May Pricing Power was above trend according to the latest annual report from citi. As you look at shares of General Motors, down 10 year to date. The market is up 4 , 5 . Clearly g. M. Shares are not keeping up with the market as a whole. Understandably people are saying, look, you have this ignition switch recall crisis the last three months. Thats weighing on shares. I think the question becomes for a lot of investors and shareholders for General Motors, when can you say, okay, we think we have our arms around the total impact of this. And then when does the stock start to reflect that in terms of optimism. When is it time to get back to the business of selling vehicles and not on this. Its punitive. The guys are circling around. Its funny. Its always the same guys. Right. It was the same guys that got what was just the one, the same trial lawyers. Or this same i read the article yesterday. The last two big cases where there was liability. Its the same dudes. Right. You know whats interesting, joe if they get into punitive, would it be material to g. M. . Im sure theres a possibility it could have been material. Keep in mind, ken feinberg, who has been retained by General Motors to put together a Victim Compensation fund, once they put that criteria together, he will start floating proposals to attorneys and executives at General Motors. Once they come up with the criteria in two or three weeks, the expectation is they will get about 90 of the cases will go through that fund. People do not want to go to court. They are looking at this and saying you know what, we will live with that. We can take that compensation. Well be done with it. The other 10 will go to court. Whether or not those 10 of those cases if General Motors were to lose and there were punitive damages, how material would that be . Too hard to say. Toyota. I think it was toyota. 260 million in lawyer fees for toyota. Phil, stay here. Lets continue this conversation can. Lets bring in an analyst to talk about g. M. s stock performance. Jamie, you heard what they were talking about. One is the recall situation. The other is the Company Overall in its performance. How do you break those two apart . Its a great question. When you look at the recall data first, there is no conclusive evidence at least to date that there is there has been any impact to sales or share. Not yet. As joe brought up, how big is the risk overhang about whether those lawsuits will come, whether there will be punitive damages . Well, from an exposure standpoint. Jim has 35 to 40 billion on hand. If you look back at toyota and some recall and sort of legal related decisions, look, i dont think thats going to be a fundamental Material Impact to the bottom line. From a shareholder perspective, i would take the view that shares are oversold as it relates to recalls. And what do you think of the mary barra has done since coming into the office . First, it is stunning this is all about mary barra and not her prereceivers. She has taken this as an opportunity. We applaud how she stood up in the face of public and regulatory scrutiny. This is something that has affected or made something intangible much more tangible for the american public. That is to say a culture change is a foot finally at g. M. Its been many decades where this has loomed. Maybe now finally we can start some of the cleansing product that ford and chrysler have gone through the last several years. Jamie, what do you think of this as a distraction in terms of how you think of this two or three years from now . I have to imagine for the past several months, virtually nothing i assume developers do what they do. But there has to have been a bit of a stand still. This does paralyze you to some degree. How does that show up later, or does it . Its actually a great point. If in happened a year ago in the midst of their product transition, they would have been caught more in their tracks i think. But the fact that the new products are up and running and the portfolio is a little further along in the refresh cycle, that mitigates the concern near term. The bigger losing question which few have brought up. The f150 is coming out later this year. Its all aluminum. Multiyear production retooling process. Thats the big issue with tkpwfpl i think they are multiple years behind ford. But in the immediate term as it relates to recalls, i see a low 40 stock price. Quite frankly there is no impact historically. Not only g. M. But toyota. If you look at some of the bigger ones historically, theres no correlation there. You have a hole even though you expect the stock to trade up from here . Exactly. I have to look on a year out basis, across my group who will be the outperformers. From 36 to 41 or 42 dollars is a great run for g. M. Theres more opportunities in my group in dealers, distribution, service. Thats why we havent upgraded. Longer term, it is more about the cultural shift and transition to aluminum. Do you think this recall issue, if its not affecting sales right now, is taking away the attention of management . On one hand, i think youre right. Oerbd, i think its forcing them to really have, again, kind of a cleansing of the broader structure. It will force them to have more checks and balances i hope, and really force lower tiers of management, whether in north america, europe or elsewhere to take on morabilitiabilit this could be a very good thing for the organization longer term. But, again, it took ford four or five years to get this right. Its hard to believe that g. M. Can do it faster. Jamie, thank you very much for joining us. Phil, thank you. We will see you a little later today. So its 900 nautical miles. Or 1,000 miles. What is . Newark to miami. 315 maximum speed. Thats three hours. Three hours on one of those . You cant go to california. But you can go to kiowa, hilton head. Or city to city. Somewhere out in pennsylvania, pittsburgh. Im a man of the people. I can see that. Commercial. When you walk in the plane and you see other people, youre confused. I get that. Youre like why are these other people on the plane . Who are these people . Can i order something from them . Investors tkrbg just enjoy the rally. Or worry about a correction . We dig into the market. Plus, this is my day, the sing layerity. What happens when machines have the knowledge of all human existence. It will change the face of Financial Services. Having the cloud allows us to rapid prototype a lot of ideas. Being able to pay as we go is crucial for a start up. Having to fork out a lot of money up front was risky. We can launch a feature really quick, and if the feature doesnt work, we havent lost anything, and we can have something up and running in days. And this would not be possible without the cloud. We are now supporting over 25 million users each month. Dow off 19 points. Nasdaq close to 7 points. Radioshack reporting a bigger than expected q1 loss. The quarter was hurt by industry wide decline in consumer electronics. Radioshack is making progress helped in part by joseph kernen. Ive gone in if you have an adp adt system and you need a lithium battery. Theres one nearby. They sell a bunch of smartphones and stuff in there too. I dont know why it cant be run better, you know . Well, i think so many locations 1 stock. 1. 50. The Electronics Business is tough. They have so many outlets. You have to go put a lot of money back in to change the look. A long, sickening decline. Look at that. Up to 36. Plus, the name doesnt help. Right. They changed woolworth. Why not change radioshack . Shack . Shack doesnt sound good. S p is now up 12 from the low that we saw for the year on february 3rd. Joining us is the senior index analyst at S P Dow Jones index in new york. What do we make of this slow sort of steady, not very exciting advance . These can last longer maybe than things that get everyones attention. How hard is it . Is it a positive . Or does it indicate theres no conviction . Well, obviously no buy, sell or changing of commitment. That itself is some kind of commitment. Theres no volume. But the market will definitely be tested. I think its going to be earnings season that will do it. We made these increases over the last year and a half. Not just from the 12 in february. On p. E. Expansion, which has gone up. Second quarter earnings will test the market. Thats where the true test will come to see if we can hit the 2,000 mark or drop underneath. But you cant decide what a normalized p. E. Is unless you have an Interest Rate projection. We will have basically zero Interest Rates for three more years. What kind of p. E. Does that warrant . Right now were at 18. The actual 12 months for march before we get into june and the next year, youre at 18 p. E. Youre at 19. 50 on the s p. 2011 you were under 12. The earnings have only gone up 15 . But the market has gone up 70 . So the growth is in the earnings for the p. E. Expansion. And the quality of the earnings, while they have gone up, has deteriorated to some degree. We have had a record margin. We are creating higher bottom numbers with less on the top. Sales have not come up. Q2 should be the test. The Second Quarter earnings have not deteriorated at all. They are off 1. 8 from where they were at the beginning of the year. So they have not come down where it is easy. It is late in the Second Quarter to start reducing your estimates or for street guidance. In the frothy part of an advance, whats the average multiple . How stretched does it get when we get to the seventh, eighth, tphaoeubth inning . What was it in 1999 . It wasnt as high as you think because the tech was so high. Again, 98, 99 was pure tech. Just like 2000, 2001, when the decline was there, difficult deposited stocks tipped up. The p. E. We stand at now is about where the historical actual p. E. Is. Going forward, however, were still below norm. It is a little bit below the norm. It would be 15 or a little bit more for that 18 months out. So were a little bit off that. But we have very far from under 12. A lot more optimism on the street there. All right. I dont know. Okay. So we have come a long way. Its not as cheap as it used to be but not in nose bleed territory yet, but shoe probably watch it is. That fair . You tell me. Sell or not . Sell or add . Dollar averaging time . Yeah. Thats the question, though. I think its going to come down to Second Quarter. I truly think we have a test coming up. And the p. E. S are high. Interest rates are low. They better stay low or else we have a problem. Thank you, howard. See you later. Another twist and the streaming feud between netflix and verizon. Squawk box will be right back.

Welcome back. We have been debating this one around the table during the commercial break. Another twist in the public fight between netflix and verizon. Netflix will stop sending messages for slow delivering of its tv shows. I would have done it differently. The messages appeared on screens when it was buffering. They say it was a test and it is leaving open the option of receiving those alerts. Coming up the and youre buffering. And you think the fault of the buffering is the content. I would make it so you cant even get netflix. I would cut them off completely. Do you think you would be able to sell just as many pipes . Its called a marketplace. I will get what i can.

Financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise welcome back to squawk box, everybody. Facebook poaching a key executive from ebay. David marcus is leaving after three years. He will be running facebooks messaging products. A lot of people trying to figure out what does this mean for facebook . Facebook will try to figure out a i way to create its own pay pal. We have an investor who thinks its a way to go after ebay. Thats over 60 billion in market capitalization. Citigroup lost its bid to stop a lawsuit targeting minorities for highcost Mortgage Loans since 2004. A federal judge ruled the suit can go forward. Vermont is raising minimum wage to 10. 50, the highest of any state. It will go into effect by 2018. Joining us is carl lairk. And bks managing director. I think a lot of times oil moves with currencies. Maybe not. They affect each other. What we have seen after what happened last week, the big news with draghi is 1. 30 on the horizon for the euro . I think its possible. While europe is moving lower, i think there is a greater chance the currency finds support around 1. 34, maybe 1. 35. We are not seeing the same type of extension as in the past. One of the reasons we are seeing the euro fall is the increase in u. S. Yields. Many have been burned by the treasury story. So were not certain whether its going to continue. But for the time being i think it might be lower. But the losses are limited. Why is volatility so low even in that market . Well, i think in general what you are seeing is a lot of aversion to taking on the big trades after they have gone wrong since the beginning of the year. A lot of people loaded into the dollar yen, into the short treasury trades. They are floating losses and dont want to increase their risk. Lack of surprise is keeping everyone on the sidelines. So i dont see any significant pickup in volatility until the Federal Reserve tightens. Even though we are seeing the euro fall, were not necessarily going to see the same type of 3 , 4 decline we would normally see on negative rates. Carl, what does all that mean to the the oil market or the oil complex . Well, i think its just a matter of economic growth. We saw job creation. Thats the funny thing. We dont care if its parttime jobs. We dont care if its fulltime jobs, temporary jobs. As long as somebody has a job and theyre driving to work. Especially with gasoline. Theres not much you can do about it. When does all this new energy that we bring on stream, when does that start to have a downward effect, if ever . If coal, if these new epa guidelines cause one part of the Energy Complex to go up, will that support prices in the rest of the group . It will eventually support prices. But at that point, especially with coal, we will probably look to natural gas. We have talked about that before. I think thats where natural gas makes its move. It can come into demand higher than we have seen in the past few years. As far as oil prices go, when theres new oil, all we do is back out foreign oil rather than lowering prices here. We are pushing it back. Thats where the whole opec thing and saudi looking for more compare capacity. You really have to realize that we are bring anything 3 Million Barrels less than we were now four or five years ago. Thats already in the market. If our demand increases or anywhere else increases, oil gets tight and it keeps going higher. Even with all this new technology and shale, five years from now you would say oil would be 150, 200 or 90 . No. You know what, when you talk about volatility, the same thing will happen with oil right now. 104, 105, were fine. In 10, 20 years, maybe 120, 125. Its just not moving. Its like a roto oven. Set it in and forget it. Its going up. Its not going back up like it was in the 2000s from 90 to 120, 140. Joe, i want to add quickly. Theres a nice oil trade happening in currency right now. Were not seeing a major weakness against the dollar. Norway produces a lot of oil. If you do believe oil is at a high, that could be a nice continuation opportunity. I hadnt seen that, cathy. Versus the krona. They had see it higher. You have this nice opportunity thats just getting in to brew. Look at some of the crosses. Put that trade on.

And this would not be possible without the cloud. We are now supporting over 25 million users each month. Welcome back to squawk box. We have seen a frenzy in mergers and acquisitions. Tyson foods winning the bid war for hillshire brands. If you look pack at the number of deal brands, it is starting to look like we are in the middle of an m a boom. We have seen 18, count them, 18 mega deals. This exceeds 681 million. Companies have an incentive to acquire now. While Interest Rates remain low and financing is cheap, the phrma sector, particularly busy. Top m a deal so far is valeants offers to buy allergan. 53 billion. Allergan has not accepted this but gets counted in the tables. Two of the other huge deals so far are in media. It goes to joes view about content. The larger one is at t offering to acquire directv for 47 billion. Would create the second Largest Telecom company. It needs approval from regulators. In close third for a deal by value is comcast to buy Time Warner Cable for 44 million. Comcast the Parent Company of this network. In that deal goes through it would be the largest. That is a short way of describing for a long way of getting to our guest this morning. Joining us to talk about this is director of deals intelligence. He is very intelligent on what is actually happening here. Good morning. For the last three or four years, you would come on. We would talk about how we thought there would be more deals. Cash on the Balance Sheet. Interest rates are low. The environment seems right. And there wouldnt be more deals. Right. And then something happened. Right. What was that . A resurgence of deal making this year. We are finally seeing the confidence come back into the boardroom, in the ceo suite, looking at the level of activity, broad base, unsolicited, hostile, competing bids. It seems the m a target list is now starting to come to fruition. Is there a eureka moment . Can you pinpoint what was the Tipping Point in all of this . Its haar to pinpoint the exact moment. I dont know if you had a moment that you think. You have been building on increased confidence, better economic growth. Stock market highs. Its just been, you know, a frenzy of deals. Youre my doubter guy. This deal making as a percentage of gdp thats right behind here. Youre right there. They got a camera on it. Thats okay. To the extent you believe m a do you believe its a lagging indicator of confidence . Lagging indicator of what . General lagging on the markets. If youre playing at home trying to understand what this all means, what inning does this put us in . Its hard to say because we have never seen this level of growth. 70 up. We havent seen it since 98, 99. Hold on. 98, 99 already . Yeah. We havent seen it since when . We have a year or two left. Its somewhat unprecedented. We have seen gradual double digit growths for years. We havent seen a 70 increase in the first five months since 98, 99. Its not really apples to apples. Right. Because the sector view was all tech. Right. Write this down for us. Wall street is oftentimes the big beneficiary of these deals in that there are enormous fees. Right. There was a longtime worry these fees were not coming back. A lot of departments, m a departments that shrunk down worried. Other departments were worried themselves thinking how are we going to pay for everybody here. Right. What will this look like when the year is over . On track to have one of the best on the m a side. All the numbers are the analysis numbers. 300 million in fees for pfizer astrazeneca which went away very quickly. It takes a while for them to come through and show in the overall numbers. There is also a big question mark for the last decade. There was going to be at some point free compression. Hedge fund, private equity fee compression. Advisory fees have not had them thus far. No, they have not. Why have they been so resilient. Its hard to say. Who is advising. The growth of the boutiques. Who are the big winners . Who are the big lose senators. Goldman sachs is still number one. They have been going back and forth with Morgan Stanley. Every week they have been changing from number one to number two with big deals. On the boutique side of things, the past two years, they have taken 30 of all m a. Thats hau huge shift where we were 10 years ago. 10 . Okay. Who is the loser . From the m a side of things . Its complicated when i ask questions like that. Its hard to say. Everyone is seeing growth this year. European banks. Boutiques have fallen back a little bit. But its hard to say it is from an advisory perspective a loser because it has been such a broad based view across regions, sectors. We have health care and media, 14 of m a. Financials, 11 . Industrial and retail at 9. Its the most balanced portfolio by region that we have seen. Real quick. Just make a prediction for us. End of year, what will be the hottest sector . I think its going to be the cmt. 40 of all deals are tech media, telecom. Thats not just the two or three big deals. No. It is a very large number. Thats a big sector, though. Yeah. I would say Telecom Space we will see shake out. And still see some continuing interest on the tech side of things. But some of the big startups coming up and potentially being acquired. Appreciate it. Thank you. Still to come, convergence of technology and finance. Cnbc teaming up with single layerity. Tomorrow on squawk box, executive chairman Martin Franklin is our guest host. The economy, the consumer, and the right grill for andrew. And focus this week for investors. Cfo of nordstrom shares his view of the Second Quarter. Thats tomorrow on squawk box starting at 6 00 a. M. Eastern time. Singularity university in partnership with with cnbc is kicking off a first of its kind event bringing Top Technology and futurists. Quantum computing, artificial intelligence. Michelle carusocabrera joins us with a special guest. I like looking at the financial side of things. In total its very exciting. Although were just were a little early maybe, michelle. I would be more excited early for the singularity. As we prepare for a point in time in the not too distant future, when total machine knowledge, computer knowledge is billions of times more than cumulative, than all of human knowledge. How do we know the pace of Technological Development by machines at that point . We have no idea whats possible. Its like the big bang. Aoeult wile fans are thrilled to hear you talking right now. That is an incredible thought. Its a little further out. The name of the conference is exponential finance. The founders firmly believe there is since happening right now that will impact wall street in the next two, three, five years not just when we get to the singularity. One of the founders, one of our foremost scientists, thinkers and real believer about robotics and humans at some point merging. And peter dimandis, also one of the founders. It is not a typical university. Where does some of the money come from . Google, auto desk, sisco, nokia. What we are showing you is video of one of the executive sessions they do. They run a Summer Program for students. They do one week executive programs. We learn about Nano Technology and drones. You can imagine the quality and quantity of information that you download, how it can affect your business. Good to have you here. Good morning. Why would there be such a huge impact on the world of finance right now when we start showing people things like the driverless car, Nano Technology, et cetera. Its pretty much every part of our lives, our businesses. What is expo tepbl technology. Technologies empowered by information layers. With computers, we saw them go from analog to digital. So there is an information layer that helps people communicate. So we went from analog photography. Imagine the old cameras where you had this film stuff you had to load into it. That was a squares are resource. And now a digital file where we share files. I take a picture. You can change it. Accepted it out to everyone else. Its never consumed, which means it can continue to propagate and propel and accelerate poe pt sc exponentially. Thats the exponential part. We are seeing this in biotechnology, Nano Technology. It is going to impact every part of our lives. In the finance community, a couple of factors. One, the markets are changing a lot. Values of valuations are companies are changing. Air b and b. Uber. Uber, good tpref. The most recent. Where are these coming from . They raised money on a valuation of like 10 billion, which is twice what hyatt hotels is and they have no assets. How can those two reconcile the same market . We are starting to see big implications of these new types of technologies. Other things we will be talking about is the driverless car. If it happens, and you are convinced it will. There is no if. Far fewer accidents in the world. Sure. What does that mean for pricing of Auto Insurance in a basic way . That do you need Life Insurance for eventually. I actually think the bigger implications with driverless cars, an Autonomous Car doesnt need to park. It can keep driving around. When you need it, it just pulls up. If its parked in front of a fire hydrant, it can move. Which means theres a lot of Space Dedicated to parking garages. Lots. And lots of space which can be completely repurposed. So if i was an entrepreneur and i had a lot of money in my pocket, i might think of picking up a few of those big parking lots and think about what the future of those could mean if we dont need the lots anymore. This is going to be so cool. Theres still time to sign up if you want to talk, come down to the lincoln center. Keep your weight down. Not you. Everybody. Exercise. Eat healthy.

Consolidating the big gain from last year. Now up 4 , 5 . What is it, june . The end of the first half of the year is over june 30th. We will see where we stand at that point. If year up 5 , it will be what everyone predicted, 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 year. And the headlines andrew will if i was stkph arrives to a 6. 5 year high. Small Business Owners recovered all the optimism they lost. Chicos is holding talks in recent weeks about a potential sale. Those shares rising on that news 15 higher in the premarket. The ceos of Major Companies are sending a letter to congressional leaders. They are calling on congress to act on immigration legislation. Its been nearly a year since the Senate Passed a bipartisan immigration bill. As we all know so well it stalled in the house. Right now lets get to the markets. Stock drifting to new highs. Bond yields are still low. Joining us right now is charles campbell, executive director at mkm. And chief economist at deutsche bank. A former economist in washington, d. C. And, gentlemen, welcome to both of you this morning. Good morning. Good to be here. Charles, we keep seeing the new highs. Is that something that makes you nervous at all . Some not really, becky. For three reasons. The ecb conducted much needed policy maneuvers last week. Not so much the refinancing and the lower of the negative to positive rate but policy maneuvers to encourage lending, specifically to small and mediumsized businesses. Where customers are paying in some cases twice the rate on loans that larger businesses are paying. A decade ago, before the financial crisis began, large and small were paying the same rates. Thats not the case today. The ecb is responding to much needed demand by the marketplace and putting in measures which deliver from several years ago in addition. Theyre not allowing the calculation to include mortgages, for example. Sure. But that means you look at helping europes economy and therefore helping ours in turn. It helps europe. It may not be sufficient. They have left it open for additional policy maneuvers. An article in the wall street journal points out spanish 10year bonds are less than u. S. 10year. That makes no sense to me. Do you understand it . Well, its certainly a reflection of the better news out of europe. Ecb helping it. Europes inflation rate is a percentage point below ourselves as well. If im an investor looking where to put my money, where would i feel better about doing it, it would be the u. S. It stretches the imagination looking the last three or four years. And taking the risk it of european picture. That doesnt mean its all good times. Still incredibly high unemployment, particularly among the youth in spain. I dont know how you get yourself out of that hole. Europe has a lot of challenges ahead. Good news, activity has begun to pick up. It has been doing the better than the normal. A long way to go on unemployment. Inflation is low. The prospects from here are looking better. And the ecb, makes this at least plausible if not expected. Charles, what does the that mean for bond rates here in the u. S. Over the next several years. Its something for so manien vestors. They never anticipated bonds would go where they have ended up going. This has been completely baffling. Thats right. The interesting thing is people buy bonds for a different reasons. People buy equities for generally one reason. Expected enterprise value ebitda is expecting to increase more than the market is expecting. But the situation with bonds, people buy them for lots of different reasons. It partially answers the ukraine situation. It could be other reasons. Immunization. You know, there are a reasons why they buy bonds. Our leading indicator is nfib. Others is like the initial claims, cycle highs. Payroll last week. Early 2000. Four months in a row of 200 plus consecutively. We had mark grant here yesterday. He laid out this theory that and rates would be lower for a much longer time than people have anticipated. He is looking well past 2015 before the fed is moving to raise and rates. Do you think thats right, peter . There are reasons to think longterm Interest Rates have come down on a sustained basis but not as much as he is talking about. Certainly the demographics have been impressive. The working age population is well over 1 up to 6, 7 years ago. Thanks to the aging baby boomers and drop in birth rates you are seeing less than half percent growth on its way to a quarter percent. That says potential growth and longterm equilibrium have moved down. But this is an economy that investment has been low. Productive has been disappointing. We have a long way to go the up in that direction. Potential growth is underlying still in 1. 5 , 2 range, heading to 2. 5 . Its difficult to see real Interest Rates much below 2 in the long term. You think the fed itself here in the United States will move to raise rates in the middle of mechanics career . Thats the message they are giving us next year, middle of next year. I would hold them to their word. Mark grant said it. How much of that activity do you think is a result of people thinking financing costs will go up materially . They are trying to get in on some kind of closing window. Well, i would suspect some of it. This is awfully complacent right now. I dont see people rushing to the exit at this point. How much stock strength is coming . And if bond yields rise substantially, does that throw a wrench in the market . If bond yields rise, thats not necessarily a bad thing. Therefore its not necessarily going to be a head wind for risk assets. Do you think we could make it through this year without a 10 pull back . I think so. Gentlemen, thank you both for coming in. Thank you. Thank you. Mary barra on the recall crisis. And the annual meeting. Also up for a vote, the first union rep ever to serve on the board. Well check in with phil below next.

Some families on of those killed in accidents due to the faulty ignition switch, unfortunately, they are going to be in attendance which will make it a tense situation for everyone. Also, up for a vote, the first Union Representative to serve on the companys board. Who is that, phil . And its hard to believe. How old is that company . Its over 100 years. And never had a union rep on the board . Thats amazing. Right. Ordinarily that would be the story that a lot of people are focusing on. Thats not the case today obviously a lot of questions regarding the g. M. Ignition switch recall, the latest in terms of the investigation, as well as the impact for the company financially. There are protesters here at the g. M. Headquarters in detroit. They were out front yesterday afternoon. We were out there with them. There were two family members of victims of g. M. Vehicles that were recalled. They were killed in those vehicles. We talked with them yesterday. Those two families are expected back this morning. Whether or not there were there are families inside the annual meeting remains to be seen. Keep in mind they have taken 1. 7 billion in charges linked to recalls. For General Motors, the question becomes, will there be any more charges either in the Second Quarter, and they do expect to have some, although not a huge Material Impact, or whether or not they can look forward to third and Fourth Quarter and believe they have at least a bit of a handle in terms of how much the recall switch crisis will cost the company.

There was an open goal. Its heartbreaking. Maybe its not the rangerss year. Its not over yet. Kings are 30. Game 4 is wednesday night at msg. You learn from bill w. , one game at a time. Thats how it happened when the rangers were down 31 in that other series. So its possible. Im not writing it off. Guys, breaking news. Allergans board is unanimously rejecting that revised, una little bit itted proposal from valeant. Yesterday our guest here on set was persian Square Capital management. We talked a lot about this with bill ackman. They are now saying that this bid substantially undervalues the company. It creates risks for allergan and not in the best interest of the company and its stockholders. David piatt is chairman and ceo. Bill ackman has been waging a war. He said he would lose his job on this. He is coming out right now and saying this is bad for shareholders of allergan. They have a track record of consistent results. They continue to have strong momentum in the business. Portfolio raises evaluations for standalone allergan. Hes attacking the company, though. If you go through the letter at the end, he said valeants unsustainable Business Model relies on serial acquisitions. That sounds exactly what the bear case has been laid out. A lack of clarity in Growth Prospects because of their opaque all the things that ackman addressed yesterday. Anemic growth with allergan drew to significant price increases. That is straight from the bears take. Of course that makes the market, the two sides on this. We have sound from yesterday. Bill ackman was on set with us yesterday. Heres what he had to say. If you have a competitive advantage in terms of your ability to operate at very low cost and everyone else is operating at high costs, you can make a large number of acquisitions and create a shareholder value. Thats what valeant has done. As mentioned, this has been well publicized in the media. Thought on both sides of this. And there are two takes on what valeants strategy is and whether it is a sustainable longterm goal. Again, at this point the news is that allergans board is unanimously rejecting that revised bid from valeant. Okay. Well continue to watch it. Ceo of inventorgy takes about i. P. Licensing.

And i know joe has been we were going to run some don sterling. I was trying to figure that out too. Translator other piece of news is don sterling is no longer going along with the clippers deal. Theres Big Questions about that. What does it have to do with hillary . I dont think it had anything to do with hillary. Earlier it was back to back. I was still waiting for the video. You wanted more sterling news . No. I wanted to see the sro run on the hillary discussion. Natural gas supplies to ukraine and the eu are said to be stable today despite the past russian deadline when kiev was supposed to pay off some of its debts or face a supply cut. It is a key part of the crisis between russia and ukraine. And then in china, inflation is picking up on rising food costs. Fivemonth high of 2. 5 . Inflation stillwell me low the 3. 5 target for the year. So that does leave room if they want to for an Interest Rate and other measure to stimulate the economy. Its been a while. They are below target. They are below the 7. 5 they were trying to do. So far no word on whether they would cut rates. Theyre still worried about overbuilding and misallocation of capital. Roach has a big piece today. Steven roach. One of our market masters. Just thinking they have been on the other side of that for a while. Yeah, he has. He is talking about cashing in. How to ride the next wave of chinese growth. Negotiate a bilateral investment treaty to help exploit chinas coming boom in services. They switch to a domestic consumer society. Im still amazed at what you pointed out yesterday. The japanese is even higher. What was it, 7. 6 . Yeah. Kind of stunning. I guess it makes sense why the stock market was up for so much last year.

We havent fixed things here for youth unemployment. I know its bad over there. We were talking like, yeah, they have big problems. Thank god we are doing so well here. It is systemic.

He will pursue a 1 billion federal lawsuit against the nba. I havent looked at the daily news, news, andrew. They hire a coach who has never coached. Instead of getting the best college coach. You could even find someone who knows month you to coach. Im sure they would come for less than my point was the ceo paying everything else. The first time the guy coaches he gets a fiveyear deal at 100 times the average workers paycheck. Im happy for him. But if i was going to dispair acknowledge ceos and try to figure out way there is no market and why they dont do anything, you would have to ask why a coach is making 5 million. That doesnt seem fair based on teachers and other things. . If theres a market for them, god bless. Sometimes i think we should have these discussions again. And again and again and again. Your arguments would ring just as me low in the eight as they did the six. Thats not true. Im happy for him. I dont believe youre happy for him now. How can he possibly use 5 million .

The journal reports this is the latest sign hp is doubling down on Technology Hardware while ibm is pulling back from the market. Also, yesterday inventergy became a wholly owned subsidiary of aeon. It opened 4. 90 and closed at 3. 85. Joining us is the man at the helm of that company. Chairman and ceo of inventergy. Good morning. Before we get into it, tell the viewers what inventergy does. Our Business Model is we partner to corporations and have them get greater value for their intellectual property. Were 80 of the asset base are in their intangibles. So they need to get greater value beyond just the product and service revenue. Thats our job is to help them get that greater value. In terms of what this whole transaction was about, it why do we need to become a Public Company . From day one i decided i wanted to be a Public Company for a number of reasons. One of which is to ensure that i would have Greater Transparency and higher ethics for my company. They wanted to work with a partner that could trust their brand, respect it, and have high ethics in the public marketplace. Give us a couple of examples of companies you partnered with. I purchased large acquisitions from panasonic, wow way and nokia. Three Large Companies in the telecommunications space. Why is it more valuable to you than it is to them . Well, they dont have the skill set and expertise to monetize the i. P. Intellectual property is a difficult business. I have assembled what i believe to be the greatest talent per capita of any i. P. Licensing company on the planet. What do you do with it . We take the patent assets and we build cases against other companies and give them an opportunity so you like patent trolls. They dont like that word. I talk about trolllike behavior. It is the me haeubehavior that in this industry. What are the the patent trolls do that you dont . Taking assets and putting 8,000 mom and pop shops on notice the same day. Or suing 30 companies with weak assets without even looking at them. I provide or we provide a corporate professional licensing style model much as i did at hewlettpackard. You go to Big Companies and say, wait a second, you are in fricking our patents. Lets taeupbdfind a way to pate. We dont lead with litigation. We try to create Good Business opportunities. Youre trying to go and legitimately the whole thing is people pay fair value for intellectual property. Thats what i really wanted to talk to you about. There is an argument being made in Silicon Valley and elsewhere that the entire patent system has gotten spiral out of control. The office will give you patents you dont deserve the, are overextended. People are using them in this patent war. It is not spurring innovation but killing innovation. What do you say to that . First of all, you have to look at there was a major patent reform just put in place a year ago. That made some improvements in the system. The system is not broken. Are taking advantage of the behavior. But it helps spur innovation. Thats why the bill has been delayed. Lets slow down. Lets make sure if we make any changes we do it the right way. When you see apple and samsung in this bizarre ping pong match, where they sue each other left and right, is that good for anybody . Thats the case of two goliaths suing each other on a large scale in which nobody can win. Google bought motor hola in part for the patents. Does that make sense . It is all about innovation. Implementation is easier to. Its the innovation and ideas thats unique. If youre an investor looking at your company or any other Company Buying patents, how should you value a company like that . Lets talk not talk about his stock. Its a 5 million market cap. I dont believe we showed the symbol. We did. How would you value these patents . What is the most appropriate way to do it . The value is the amount of money obtained from licensing revenue. There are trillions of dollars of revenue in this space where these patents are applied. We believe great value can be created for us and these partners. Thats how we value it. I like talking about patents. Just to hear you say patent over and over. So whenever we get a chance to talk about patents, i just like to make sure i do it. If anybody ever has a patent on a button that works in manhattan, that would be the coolest thing. But you cant get a patent on a button, can you . Joe, thank you for joining us. Youre welcome. Oh, this joe. The adults are having a conversation. All right. Thank you. When we come back, well get to jim cramer at the New York Stock Exchange. Then the secret lives super rich is back. Lions and tigers and private jets, oh, my.

Thats nice. Seven years . Seven years. Holy cow im going to add another billion to the valuation of uber on that. You disagree, right, jim . No, i dont. This is one of the situations where the private market can drive everything. And i think that uber i dont know. I thought that the percentage that they have to capture would be higher than what you said. Meaning how do you do 50 . I dont know. But i will say this. The market is what it is. I think any felt is really smart. This thing is sweeping the nation and the world. Travis obviously has a great wrap. And i think what happens is it opens and its worth 25 billion. It is more valuable than more v. Whatever. Anybody who uses it is going to be interested in buying it. I wonder when were at a point, jim, you remember the late 90s and pets. Com and stuff, is it possible for there to be a bubble in private financing . Can these people be dead wrong and just get totally carried away with themselves . I think there was in software as a service and but not this . Not this . I never used pets. Com. I never used the 330 companies that came public between 1999 and no one ever used them. No. Like a web van with a concept. Uber is one of these situations where everybody who tries it, everybody who has it, lovgs it. I dont know a soul who said that uber doesnt work well. I heard people who said they paid too much for uber, but this is a concept that is based on your cell phone that people like that people are going to say you know what, handheld mobile they will be able to monetize it, its worth who knows. Why should it be worth 18, why isnt it worth 25. Somebody pointed out earlier, the ceo from the summit we were at, airbnb dwarfs vallation for hilton, somebody is wrong. Does that mean hilton is undervalued. I think airbnb is undervalued. I think hilton is undervalued. I think thats one of the problems. Weve seen with hillshire, with i dentices, the market got those wrong. If the two smartest guys in protein, pilgrims and tyson, i cant go to thoses two and say you really have maybe the venture capitalists are valuing some more than others but when uber comes public, it will be a 25 billion valuation. Why not. Its got a model, the model works and it should go higher. And going on right now of companies we may all think are nutty but pilgrims and tyson didnt think are nutty. Thats the problem. Those are smart companies. Im not going to tell them their aidiots. All right. Jim, we got talked about that. We will see you in about seven and a half minutes. Make sure you stick around for that interview. And im going to be there. You are going to be angry. And my son thats his dream ticket is to go to e 3.
