Mike santoli. Thank you both for joining us. Carl and jon have the morning off. We have news from the trump transition and john harwood. Weve just had the transition call with the Incoming White House press secretary, sean spicer. He said that donald trump around 4 00 today is going to have an Economic Development announcement that will be good for American Workers. Didnt specify what it is, said he wants to keep everyone guessing. Dont know if its Something Like the deal that he engineered with...

Having me on your program. I mentioned what yields have done in the last three months, and stocks have been much of the story, but you seem to be most focused on what yields are doing. At what point do they become a problem for the trump rally . I think they may be now the problem in defense that the more importantly rates have gone up substantially. In other words, housing may begin to weaken, and secondly, we have over a trillion dollars in auto loans outstanding, which could also be a problem...

Thanks for join us on squawk alley. With me at post 9, mike santoli and kelly evans. Karla and jon have the morning off. We start with the markets on this thursday. The trump rally taking a bit of a step back as we continue to hover more than 100 points below dow 20,000. The blue chip index coming off its second tripledigit loss sinc...

Over the last couple of days that now is the time to take something off the table . No. I mean, youve run out of one of the necessary drivers to send the market higher and that is obviously trading volumes. Dried up. Weve all said it the last two weeks. Thats not anything new. I dont think the fact were going to turn the calendar page is anything new either, judge, except that, perhaps, and i think its overblown, people who delayed sales if they all of a sudden like jim has alleged decide to mak...

Thats a great call. I had something really good to say, and then look what you did. Wow. No gel. No suit. No tie. Let me say a couple of things then to divert attention from what you just said. So the stock pickers and the active management community, which has been thoroughly trashed this year in terms of flows, really dont have any excuse going into the new year because the new trend in force is dispurgs. You have 265 of the s p 500 up more than 10 this year. 68 of them. There was a lot of opp...

Were back at post nine to start the new year. Between the markets and donald trump, a busy morning ahead. Dow 20,000 is back within striking distance after a rough end to 2016. Oil and the dollar also moving higher after bullish factory data. Joining me now is a market strategist, and brian jacobson. The chief portfolio strategist. Good morning, guys. Brian, i want to start with you. Youre looking at emerging markets as a potential bright spot going into the year. You think the president elects ...

In a little bit but tell me first about the conversation you had this morning with president elect donald trump when you informed him that you would no longer be building that plant in mexico. Well, we informed president elect trump and also Vice President elect pence this morning that we were going to be investing 700 million here in our plant in flat rock, michigan, adding 700 jobs on top of the 28,000 jobs that weve created over the past five years. And at the same time, told them we were goi...

Happy new year. Happy new year to you, too. What do you make of what the stock market has done since election day . Look, i think a lot of it is its all positive because people think youre going of have positive gdp growth, less regulation. And i think if you have this 2 to 3 or 4 to 5 growth thats good for equities. Equities this year will be up 10 . Were calling it the trump rally. Is it fair to call it that . I think its you can call it whatever you want. To me its definitely a rally and the ...

That. If you could sort of give us an update on where this case against you currently stands. Well, you probably know as much as i know. Let me just say this. I think earlier this last year i was on your program, and i said i had two goals. One was to provide my investors with the performance they want and deserve. And second, to prove definitively in a court of law these charges are totally without merit. And these frankly continue to be my goals. So for 2016, i think we delivered okay performa...
