A bit at the politics of two thousand and seventeen at least in for the First Time Ever the summit is chaired solely by women and a number of the discussions really dont seem to have anything to do with economics at all focusing instead on race privilege and harassment all of the greatest hits from the past year the social issues of two thousand and seventeen including. Inclusiveness. Was mentioned and all the things have been everywhere in the new school that sounds important maybe but not as important as the economics of the summit i think that north America Europe japan and all the nations have never been as inclusive as they are now all told by the way of course there are reactions to certain things like the migration crisis but the people are used to it now much more than before and we are fighting inclusive its not a time for crusades anymore. A delegation from russian Cyber Security Company Casper ski lab took time out to talk to us about the gathering and the issues they face. I would say the trend from the last few years and actually one of the main topics of this year in dollar states fragmentation of the world unfortunately its happening there is a global geopolitical tensions and fights between countries and it backfires private companies far as us i would say that the pressure in the United States is enormous its the biggest its really disappointing for some reason and surprising for me that that private company can be limited in its operations in the contre with no reasons with no facts just by a decision of the Us Government its really frustrating because it means that we cant protect our organizations in years gone and and. That is one of the best according to independence and this is just means that. If they leave themselves im protected from from cybercrime and from Cyber Attacks which is really frustrated and i believe that in the long term this is just a very. Very wrong decision to ban independent private company from its operation in the country. With all those v. I. I guess around this time the resort seems a bit overwhelmed by its signature feature this snow over the past week it seem nearly two metres of the white stuff the heaviest in nearly two decades traffic being disrupted with many delegates struggling to reach the venue theres also a very real danger from avalanches but the discomforts hasnt stopped the Online Community seeing hubris. Done with reality economic and environmental social and political fragility in avalanche territory a loud noise can bring the whole mountain down and donald trump comes to town on friday turns out davos is actually the social experiment when you gather a bunch of the v. I. P. s there make them carry their own luggage through this now and stand in lines with each other out. I wonder what would happen if you did and no one could leave for a week and the world realize that it could run itself without the business and political elites. Turning your attention to neighboring france now or prison staff across the country or blockading detention facilities and calling for a complete overhaul of the system there are over one hundred centers have been affected the protests are now in their ninth day and began after a series of assaults against prison workers by inmates one of the hot spots being the flurry. In your part as it is the largest in Europe Holding more than four thousand and its also used to monitor suspected extremists among them up the slum who faces trial over the twenty fifteen terror attacks stuff held demonstrations outside the prison on friday violence broke out. I. Was just about as today weve all come here for a strike because discontent is spreading across france the crucial problem is the security of prison personnel on top of that theres the issue of islamic radicals who are also kept in the jail who are not isolated from other inmates. I dont know would you lucia its dangerous for us to be around the inmates because for them we are everything they hate for them we are enemies by definition. Well with the blockades demonstrations spreading across france sharla dubin ski has been following the story we are day number nine this is the second week of the nationwide protests and we had the standard at least seventy prisons blockading yet again today now they started over a week ago. Because three Security Guards at a prison in the north of france were attacked by an inmate a convicted terrorist now since that attack took place in these protests have been happening there have been more assaults of attacks on Prison Guards in prisons in france heeding to Prison Guards who were attacked on sunday evening now that the Prison Guards say that they would is incredibly dangerous they feel is sometimes to go to work they fear for their lives because of the types of prisoners that they dealing with they say that in some prisons like that largest prison in europe that sometimes the inmates refuse to go back to their jails and this is a prison with a high number apparently of radicalized inmates so these are just some of the concerns that the Security Guards have they also say that they are very very understaffed with the suggestion that sometimes in that largest prison in europe there is only one Security Guard for every ninety inmates now ive been talking to some of the Security Guards would be lining the other concerns. To tell you to go our work is very dangerous where with tins of aggression and. Experience violence which is not taken into consideration by the government. It has become more and more difficult for us to actually be seen physical aggression towards my colleagues every day it happens every time we open the doors to support the new city we denounce the working in dishes of our colleagues in the prison the security conditions the numerous acts of aggression against them we want salaries to be increased for those who face such risks of work as well as an increase in personnel and better security so what all the demands of the Prison Guards well they say they want more than the one thousand jobs that theyve already been offered over the next four years by the Justice Minister they also say that they wont radicalize prisoners to be isolated in prisons for their safety and they want to have. Security Services Available to deal with situations we also know that the president might go on this said that he will unveil a grand plan that the end of next month to reform the entire prison system in france but that still more than a month away and the question is ease action needed soon or the Prison Guards who remain blockading so many of the prisons in france say they needed sooner because they need to have more security conditions to work in immediately.

This is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d. C. Bart chilton. Coming up well take stock of equities get it sorry probably too soon we move fast around here well take stock of equities and half of a list of stocks to do an analysis of some Key Companies and analyze their Performance Plus holland cook of the big picture tells us why baby boomers might be the most money consequential generation out there and we go to miami for the north american bit coin conference and then talk to Jeffrey Tucker of the American Institute for Economic Research who was there for the conference but first lets get to a couple of stories topping todays business and financial headlines Net Neutrality the principle that internet providers like comcast and others and local internet and Television Service providers must treat all data on the internet the same and not discriminate or levy divergent fees by user content website platform or the app use that Service Providers business not discriminate that principle was overturned by the f. C. C. The federal Communications Commission on a three to two Party Line Vote in december well now democrat senators say they hold more than fifty sen votes in an attempt to challenge the repeal of Net Neutrality that means they have picked up at least one possibly a few republican votes this news represents a small glimmer of hope about the future fate of Net Neutrality and the fairness principle of access to well knowledge without Net Neutrality we have a century created a closed and captive media caste system where knowledge is basically being rationed according to a Pew Research Study last year those who live in rural areas are. About twice as likely not to even use the internet as urban or suburban americans which have more choices for news and information and faster connection speeds the debate about the debate will continue and well see if those more than fifty plus senators might get a vote to overturn the recent f. C. C. Net neutrality pullback. The news this morning is that i. B. M. International business sheens has reported higher revenue numbers for the first time in nearly two years and expects continued growth this year on the other side of the spectrum amex American Express saw the first quarterly loss since get this nineteen ninety two amex c. E. O. Kenneth chenault all says it was do like other companies weve discussed in recent recent days on this program due to the tax bill that were passed at the end of last year well other stocks are making major moves this year lets bring in to the ever vested ballista arvo of stocks which you usually tells us about retail numbers but she looks at stocks every day so its great to have you with us on this comment on this topic you want to comment on the i. B. M. And the amex numbers. Well look at this same part good to see you and yes well i have a very interesting because the stock has not made brand new all time high since two thousand and thirteen and here we are were in two thousand and eighteen so to have an earnings miss like this as far as the stocks reaction like you said they had some good news in the report but their reaction was negative because the night before the earnings of stock was around one sixty nine and that a gap down in the morning and the premarket around one sixty four and fell on the day so i just think that investors didnt see what they wanted to see with i. B. M. And its really been lagging and its had a hard time competing with the likes of microsoft which has been performing extremely well in this bullish market and how about apple stock you know they made that major announcement yesterday that they had a pullback and they were going to supposedly create all these jobs in the u. S. Although some of those they were to create anymore their stock is near an all time high these days isnt it. Yes actually i hit over one hundred eighty which is big news for the stock were really getting closer and closer to that two hundred level which is i think what investors are looking for awful has earnings out february first so thats going to be a thats the biggest actually earnings night of the c. S. And google amazon and apple all report february first after the bell so thats going to be a big night and investors are waiting for that but ill tell you it generate a fortune came out and apple was announced at the top of their list for the worlds most admired companies so apple is still up there and you mentioned about them creating these jobs the big news today was that there repatriating two hundred fifty billion dollars of their overseas assets into the u. S. Because of this new tax reform and that its huge not only is it huge for apple in the growth theyre going to see and the u. S. With that money coming back its also huge because the government is going to get some of that money taxed over thirty billion dollars and thats all going to go into the u. S. Treasury now in fairness i mean their business theyre not philanthropist there dude making this move because you know the Corporate Tax rate was thirty eight percent it went down to twenty one but that repatriation fee is only fifteen point five percent so while they are going to pay all this money as you say melissa theyre actually saving fifty billion buckaroos so its also a big money decision for them now we talk about but what about google and alphabet for example how are they doing they were killers last year they still going strong. Google still stronger than ever again made new highs with the market in the last calendar year as many times almost as the market did but i will tell you the biggest strongest stock on the market is still the beast of amazon it seems like that is headed right to fifteen hundred if it has a good Quarterly Earnings by anybody you know said head over Thirteen Hundred one over thirteen twenty five i think theres huge expectations for that whole sector attack of this year of two thousand and eighteen that a big year in two thousand and seventeen is a lot of expectations out for that sector to continue their growth this year particularly with the savings again with tax reform all these corporations are going to benefit from that and amazon just continues to expand and expand and expand although you mentioned about apple being a company for profit which of course they are they still did not have to bring all that money back to the usa because were going to be taxed on it which if they keep it outside of the u. S. They wouldnt be taxed on it so they still did not have to make a move like that its probably my you know inquisitive and doubting former regulator mind at work melissa i just i see all these companies and we need them and they provide the economic engine to our democracy but when they make claims like we saw you know with with walmart that theyre going to raise prices and then theyre going to under their breath were closing sixty sam stores i just get worried apple is already going to spend several weeks ago sixteen billion dollars in the u. S. In a single year so for them to say theyre going to spend thirty billion over five years you know that doesnt really start my engine a whole lot but there are good company they make a great product you know and so finally before we go i want to get your take on gee i mean theyre talking about a break up that would be incredible what your thoughts on that and on the g. E. Stock. Well thats like going from apples to oranges talking about amazon and g. E. Amazon is one of the strongest stocks in the market and gene is one of the weakest a well known stocks in the market right now and its unfortunate the last time were talking about a brand new all time highs the g. Sol brand new all time highs was back in two thousand so eighteen years ago the stock sixteen dollars it does report january twenty fourth so that will be an important day for the stock however they havent really performed in this bullish market they would have to literally got to the thirty six dollars level stockbroker sixteen so it would be a tremendous speak for them to get back up at an uptrend g. E. Is in a down trend and to me its really not a buy till it hits up over thirty six bucks a share right now and i mean that seems unlikely could it happen yes but i think it would more likely if it had even a good earnings rally so a little bit and then take its time moving back up they had had the new c. E. O. Came aboard in august of two thousand and seventeen and you really got to give the guy a chance to see what he can do here he hasnt even been at the home for a year so well see what he can do i mean hes going to try to turn the company around. Super that is so fun to do a little round robin we want to do that again we love you on real to retail numbers that we love you on stocks most armor founder of stocks whooshed thanks as always thanks for having me. Holland cook the host of the big picture here r. T. America did a really interesting show on friday and ive asked him to give us the cliff notes version for you all who who missed it hala you make the point that nobody is getting any younger and thats one reason why the book baby boomers may be actually creating a lot of economic ingenuity in our in our economy explain all that part every day in the u. S. A ten thousand people turned sixty five and in the next two decades another sixty five million americans hit the big seven zero we baby boomers born in one nine hundred forty six to one nine hundred sixty four were the biggest generation in history until those millennial scame along yet we outnumbered boomers remain the most consequential generation on july one twenty sixteen something began and it will never end that day the oldest baby boomers turn seventy and a half the age at which by law they are required to begin withdrawing money from ira accounts this dough squirreled away for decades and earning interest is now flooding the retail economy. Although we do occasionally ask a teenager for a tech assist boomers are tech savvy one reason young people are fleeing facebook for other social media platforms is that their parents and grandparents are there eighty three percent of boomers conduct Online Research before making major offline purchases which busts another myth that as we get older were so set in our ways and so brand loyal that we dont consider new products bony boomers are lifelong experimenters to our parents horror way back when baby boomers are Health Conscious they purchase seventy seven percent of all prescription drugs and sixty one percent of over the counter drugs already expecting to live longer than any previous generation they spent on teeth whitening and cosmetic surgery and the golden years are now baby boomers control eighty percent of all Leisure Travel spending theyve got the time and theyve got the money there were forty million grandparents in the usa in one thousand nine hundred eighty there will be eighty million and twenty twenty and you know they dote on those grandkids so while millennia old media buyers on madison avenue figure twenty five to fifty four is a demographic sweet spot the numbers say theyre ending to a low that Super Excellence is why when you to come and tell our viewers thank you so much and if people want to catch the full monty version of the big picture were going to get it you can see this most recent episode and all the shows weve done at you tube dot com slash the big picture our t.
