Pim pimcos bill gross on cnbc yesterday after the fed decision. The markets are bubbling and all asset prices are bubbling down. Steve liesman has pointed out Profit Margins are bubbling.

Thank you, becky. Happy halloween. We have a little bit of spooky after the bell session tore shares of facebook. The stock initially jumped more than 16 on better than expected Quarterly Results. But then this happens. The cfo admitted that there was the truth to some of those concerns facebook is losing its cool factor with teens and the daily activity among younger teens has declined. Those comments sent shares significantly lower. Also the news about the fact that they may not be showing as much advertising in the future as people were anticipating. Well talk about that and a lot more with the facebook analyst at this hour. But thats your exclusive spook on halloween day. In other earnings news after the bell, not so scary results from starbucks. They posted better than expected Quarterly Results. Revenue was in line.

Again . Thats okay. So much to talk about. Facebook, you saw the quotes. Anyway, facebook, in the journal, may not be able to cram more ads into users news feeds. When it went on to twitter today you had an ad. I havent seen any no. On my twitter thing, there are only and number one, i dont follow these people. Right . They just are interloping on my feed. And the screen is two things. It used to be i can see ten things. Now theyre sticking a big ad im not following thats going to jump the shark for me. You didnt like twitter, anyway. Now there are other reasons to not like it. Now theres only two things i still havent seen it. You know on your outlook or if it gets messed up, i want to see a subject so i can see a lot at once. On twitter you cant delete anything off your feed, can you . No, you can. Hes the man to ask. Do it quickly because otherwise it will get out into the feed. Number two its an issue of anyway. We have to run that opening. Every hour. And the other thing is, there are many times when, you know, we go to washington and we play that pretentious, you know, like Network News Music and, you know, im supposed to be like jeff what we did today, i had someone else say that. You think this is more us, more our speed, more our style . Its pretty cool. Always saying the market could dive and this is really good, though. Black and white. Yeah, thats good. Were going to run that again. Im on google now. What is this . Happy halloween. Thats a scary looking witch. I wonder if it does anything. Yes. Is it not the greatest holiday . A lot of people think its, like, some pagan holiday and they dont really like it. United states kind of the buzz. Its penelopes birthday. Which is hard for shes always dealing with the kids. We can never really celebrate. I always remember her birthday. Its hard to celebrate her birthday. But you know what . Beelg born on halloween comes with well, great powers has great responsibilities. But she has powers. Over you. Over me. Im be witched, and bewildered. I like your orange tie. She said it doesnt count because it has blue in it. I liked the orange tie he wore the other day. This is a halloween tie. Youve got nothing. Ive got nothing. I looked. I looked. Tonight, youre a hat, gas mask. Walter weiss, we have the hat, the sun glasses, the go tee, yellow hazmat suits, my wife is going to be jessie and we even have zip lock bags of meth . What looks like blue ice or blue sugar or whatever it is. Im not going to say anything about, you know, halloween in new york, but theres no trees, no grass. Do you go in say lets go in that building . And you go hall to hall . Yes, you do. Door to door in a hallway and knock on the what if someone grabs you and pulls you in and you end up on the nightly news, which could happen anytime in new york, anyway. Dallas door man. In your neighborhood. What if hes dressed up like a doorman . That would be yeah. Im going to look out for that. The whole new york but then i hear like in paramus, people go mall halloweening. Really . Yeah. On our block, things get shut down. You go into all the buildings. Everyone tells you who has candy, would doesnt. Its great. In our neighborhood, to get to the house next door can take a while, so thats not true. Lets check on the markets. Long driveway. Yes. Are we going way up there . Mommy and daddy will just buy us candy. Futures are down. We already saw those. They are down at the trick today. Check out oil. Oil worries me. Its been going down and down and down. I worry about Global Growth again. I cant wait to have paulson on today. You know why . Hes going to be taking a victory lap because of the markets. Yes, he is. But his whole thing about the mismarkets is its based on economy everyone thought. Not as here he is, all his call ves come through, but for all the wrong reasons and for something he may hate. Hell be kind of honest. Hell be kind of off. And he always like like he has a hes got the scruffy he can go did on walter weiss, too. Yeah, without a costume. Tenyear fed our guest host today was wrong and he looks like walter weis. We always stroke him. We do. We love him. Theyre 2. 51 . I thought the fed said were never tapering. Other people said, you know, some earth shattering news that they might be data dependent. How many times have we said that . Theres the dollar, 1. 36. Come on. Get down below 1. 30. Soon. And then gold has had some kind of once we found out about the central banks, its done nothing by go up ever since the article about the central bankers starting to hit a shelf in gold. A number of stories out in washington including a new nbc news wall street journal poll. Hi, aman. Youre going to join us with the highlights and then im going to ask you some questions, too. That wasnt good for anyone, was it . Yeah, look, some really bad numbers here. Scary numbers, you might say, on halloween for the white house. Take a look at this new wall street journal poll released last night. Youll see the president s approval has reached a new low. The president s positive approval is just 42 . Disapproval, 51 . Not sure, 7 cant make up their minds. That is a bad new for the government. Confidence in the new health care law, this is really bad for the president. Less confident, 40 of americans now say they are less confidence in the health care law. That is attributable to this botched rollout. It hasnt even captured some of the most recent bad news data that weve had here in the headlines now that were up to october 31st. Also republicans not fairing very well in this at all, either. And this is sort of a hangover here from the government shutdown. View of the Republican Party very positive, just 6 . Negative and very negative, 23 and 30 . Thats a 53 negative rating for the Republican Party. So its really a pox on all your houses here in washington, d. C. Bad poll numbers for just about everybody. But for the president , this is a bad one, 42 approval. Now its also true that his personal favorbility, thats up and down. Thats something that the president has been able to rely on. Now were starting to see that number slipping, as well. And 70 ooh americans say the country is simply on the wrong track. That is a bad number, as well, for any incumbent administration. What this portends going into 2014 is anybodys guess. But its bad time in the Obama White House right now, guys. Added up somewhat positive, positive and neutral and i got to 46 for the republicans. Its like the election. Here is my question. Ill ask you. Youve got your ear i kind of wanted to ask harwood, but hes not around. Fine. No, i like you, but with harwood, i kind of nudge him. Youve seen the dynamic. Ill stay out of that. Here is the thing. Im going to paint a scenario and im relying on hearsay from ed cline, the author, who said that the white house, Valerie Jared thought you know what . These republicans are so dumb, but we can trap them and get them to shut down the government. We can use phrases she supposed by came up with phrases like hostage taker, gun to your head. We can do all these things, well shut it down, it will back fire on them. Theyll look stupid and well end up winning. Now, that strategy worked pretty well, but weve got 42 now on the president s Approval Rating. Joe, as far as conspiracy theories go, im always more likely to blame things on incompetent than on actual conspiracies. It takes a whole lost competence to but the incompeten komcompet from saying it wouldnt shut down on them. All you had to do was give them a little bit of bait to get them to take it. And what we see here in this poll, and i dont have these numbers handy, but you do see some negative effect on the president from the government shutdown. Its not as clean cut as the whiteout would like you to say. And the republicans got all the blame. Republicans did get the blame, but the president has taken a hit here and its a pretty significant hit. Eamon, i dont think thats going to happen, either. I dont think its going to happen, either. I want to know whether you think the second temporary of president obamas presidency he cares. You have to care about poll numbers in washington. These guys live and breathe polls. Its like oxygen here. It affects your ability to get stuff done. If people on capitol hill see a weak president , they will pounce. Theyve been pouncing on him when hes been relatively strong. He started the year with a 52 Approval Rating. Hes gone down ten points just this year. That sa big slide for the president and its going to be blood in the water for politicians who its like lame duckland. And its going to cause some of those democrats to start to peel away. If the president gets that smell of soot on him, democrats will what are we going to see him do differently, then . Thats a totally unknown question. Thats the big question going in here. Yesterday, you saw the president go up to boston to defend the Health Care Rollout and say, yes, there have been glitches in the website, but no, this is not a bad idea. In fact, its a good idea. Those people are being told they cant have their own Health Insurance plan. The president had to go out and defend sebelius and alexander this week. Theyre circling the wagones and trying to defend themselves. And holding off hoping by november 30th they fix this by then, right . They have set themselves up. And thats a really good point, becky, because they have set themselves up for another deadline, another countdown clock dynamic where they promise this will be fixed by the end of november. If it isnt, it will be another failure and a lot of people wonder why they would set a hard and fast deadline date like that with an unknown because if you dont have it fixed by november 30th, then you have a much bigger problem. If people dont have a month to shop for these things. That doesnt change for people whose insurance was canceled. A interview an Insurance Company yesterday that said his firm had to kick 43,000 people off their plan because they werent comply kwansant with obama care. He says he has no idea how many of those 40,000 will be able to navigate the website and get new insurance before the end of the year. About a month ago, we heard the president s second term was going to be about locking in, that he had to settle for locking in gains from the first quarter, maybe immigration, but nothing huge. This gets harder to defend and just lock in, its getting hard to do, as health care. Theres more jobs than they thought. They thought this thing was a done deal. Its becoming a real liability. And all that tap dancing yesterday, really, you can sum up what the president has been saying all along. You can keep your plan as long as its something that is that it adheres to the rules that were putting forth for obama care. As long as we think its an okay plan, youre allowed to keep it. Youre not smart enough to decide yourself the crushing sound bite the is that the sound bite ta you think he said its about 5 of the American People in the individual market and the subset of that group will be affected by this. They got new plans ever since the law you need more but the loophole. They dont feel this is a big rob. But the crushing sound bite for the president is that he said you can keep your plan, period. He didnt say you can keep your plan, comma, but. And thats going to hurt the president s credibility with selling this thing to the American People. The person that was complaining that she had to pay for Substance Abuse post menopausal, you have to pay for prenatal care . Thats the point. But in the old days, you could get the plan you wanted for 200 bucks. But if you want the mass to work, you have to have everybody paying for everything. Thats the whole theory of insurance to begin with, right . You have to have a whole lot of luc lucky people in the system to pay for those who are unlucky. And you need more lucky people than unlucky. The damage goes to those unlucky folks. Thats the basic mathematics of insurance. Thanks, eamon. Coming up, we have a scary story for you fit for halloween. Why your spice rack could be contaminated with insects, rodent hairs and other things and that is not just a halloween story. Plus, if you cant tell, we are excited about the holiday here on squawk box. In the spirit of the season, weve brought in a person to do special pumpkin carving. Check in on his work so far. Look at that. Plus, of course, a big congratulations to the boston red sox. They beat the st. Louis 61 last night for their third world series crown in ten seasons. This is the cover of the boston globe this morning. The headline, tested and triumphant. I just got one of those twitter ads. Its the first time ive seen one. Were back in just a moment with a lot more on squawk. Welcome back. Its time for the executive em. Sth a daily segment focused on giving Business Leaders a leg up. If you are eating breakfast this morning, turn this down for a minute. This story makes me want to puke. The fda says about 12 of spice imports are contaminated with insect parts, whole insects, hairs. Other things. It is twice those found in other types of imported foods. The industrys problems are the result of primarily poor storage and processing and not from poor harvesting practices and thats the twist on this story. We had heard some of the statistics earlier, imported by the New York Times. But this is the fda saying, yeah, this happens and a lot of this stuff is probably coming from the storage facilities, not just from the harvest. Number one, chopped up insect parts are a fine source of pro teen. Theres people that eat insects. If you think youre eating insects, its one thing. Salmonella is bad. But you can live on insects. Its protein. And yeah, and if you want to eat bugs, go out and buy bugs. But if i think im buying its all chopped up. Basil and it turns out but thats not what theyre saying. Theyre saying everything is chopped up until the gets in it. The rodent hair is bad, but thats protein. You can digest it easy enough. Salmonella is 7 . That can get you sick. Something like 2,000 people report getting sick from spices every year, but people forget it. United states used in small quantities. Its probably vastly underreported. Dan aykroyd on saturday night live, your kids will love this. Its a great source of protein and its spicy. No. You cant you cant do this. And its really hard because after that first report, i went out and started looking for spices only made in the United States and its really hard because a lot of times it says packaged in the United States. Youve got germs, insects, youve got a problem, right . There was a saturday night live skit from a long time ago. A guy dice and goes to heaven and he says, whats the 1 shlths 027 grossest thing i ever ate . And it was Something Like rodent hair examine bugs. A lot of stuff ahead of that . Yeah. A lot of stuff that you dont want to know about. This is not only nasty, but its making you sick. You dont put that much spice on your food, anyway. Okay. Anyway its like bed bugs. Get her going on bed bugs. Theyre everywhere, supposedly. Did you hear that theyre going to become more common than roaches . Really . Yeah. Oh. I have to sleep at home. If you want to worry about the new sars virus, its in bats and they can jump to humans. Tell us about it on halloween. Thank you. Yeah. I just read it. Im going throw up if we dont change topics. Earlier this week, we were joined on set by race car driver danica patrick. To many, she was best known for her go data ads. Now it says it isnt bringing sexy back to the super bowl this year. It plans to focus on humor instead. Danica patrick will return in the ads for the eighth Consecutive Year but, guys, what do you think . Smart move or not . They should be fired immediately. Whatever moronic advertising whoever decided to do this has just made the worst decision of their whole career. I dont want to sound like a pig, but this is jcpenney,
