According to the situation. Dollar general will be offering to divest up to 1500 stores if required by the ftc. Now, before they had offered 700 stores. This even though Dollar General says it believes that the pledge to divest those 700 stores as part of the proposal provide more than enough to clear any regulatory review. It includes a 500 million reverse break up fee. And the important point there is to ensure how confident they would be. Its a long, sordid story. Skoe and i have gone back and forth. On august 21st, Family Dollar rejected ads 7. 58 share a bid for Dollar General. What they did at the time is they cited and they didnt think the deal would clear. Family dollars board has been suggesting a stock proprosal. Now were at 80 with the addition of or with the edition of the reverse breakup fee and saying they would get rid of more stores. Remember when the press release came out with the initial deal . They trumpeted the fact that they would be the largest, that they would have so much stores. They saw that as a selling point. We should tell you they just added boys shce shiller. But more importantly, a guy named richard fine sateen, who is the former head of antitrust at the fcc. They think a deal will get done. We do expect this announcement should cross the wires hopefully in another minute. When youre tauing about how big they were and just that they would be the biggest in terms of numbers and stores. Originally, we talked about comparing the former. But i think when youre talking about revenue, thats crazy. In the market theyre in, there was an antitrust issue. Does this take care of it . I dont know. But it gets you probably closer. Theyre selling things for 1, in some cases 2. Thats a specific market on a relative basis compared to everything else. So they dont see walmart as a competitor . I think in this case, walmart does not fit the well many of how they think about this. Whether theyre thinking about it differently in the way the ftc will think about it, im not sure. Nonetheless, that is what is on the table. We think we should be seeing this news cross in just a little bit. But sources telling us they should be coming a little bit later today with an 80 a share bid. There you have it. All right. You got it . Yeah, yeah. When it does come out, weve already done it, though, okay . You dont want to trumpet it again. No. Its done. People get it. If theyre interesting in Dollar General becoming got it out. Theres nude pictures everywhere. Weve got to get to some of these others i know you had a busy weekend. No. If they ever find my catch that ive got even if they broke in on the cloud, all these people keep naked pictures of themselves . Everybody backs up everything to the cloud. Everything is accessible to being hacked. If you knew the pictures of myself that ive got the many of them . That ive got on the cloud. Really . Hundreds. In every disgusting position that you i mean, across the board. Its 4 00 in the morning. Youre going to send people akrod cross the board. Now, i think they saw mine and just never mind. I think they got grossed out. They probably dont even want you were at a hotel this weekend . What was the wifi bill like . You dont get the hotel wifi. We always talk about wifi. The pictures. I cant believe you see, you do this because you dont laugh on purpose. No, i dont. Let me do this one. The fbi and apple are this is the story that were talking about. Are you safe . Oh, yeah. Are you safe . Clearly not. The if i go and apple are investigating the hacking of icloud accounts. The breach led to nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence, super model kate upton. They didnt do male stars. Thats probably the only reason that they didnt get to some of mine. Apple says its actively investigating. This is what ill tell you, my ipad and my iphone constantly say, you are not being backed up on the cloud. Mine, too, because yours is full region right . Yours is full. Im constantly clicking dont worry about it or i dont care or whatever it is that i click and its just stop telling me. I dont know how to back things up on the cloud, anyway. But you see . I was ahead of the game on this. Nothing i have is on the cloud. I have a recommendation for you. The cloud is not safe. Dont we know that now . This is unbelievable. They went in and found it was just out here. Here is kate upton and here is this person and this person. All of these people have naked pictures of themselves . One of them said they downloaded hundreds of its like, why are you posing naked for all these pictures . Why . Theres a lot of naked pictures in hollywood. But just one other comment thats important for you. Yes. Its not that theyre sitting up there and somehow they hacked into apples clouds and hooked into everybodys account. How did it . They literally tried to get after each actress individually. But they knew it was on the cloud, right . They knew these people had eye phones. So you a thentfication. You have a password and an additional password, everybody can sign ud to do this. It would be impossible to get your i dont want to get its impossible, but its much harder to get Jennifer Lawrence or somebody else you have to be in possession of your iphone . You have to have the actual phone. Your drop boxes, anybody should move to anybody theres an opportunity to do double you a thentfication, you have to do it. And be careful with your password, fix mind you would not use sliekly. As the first password coat yeah, yeah. I still have other questions. I cant believe what but i think its very weird that you can just pick people that you want to find. It was that locallywood actress. They all do nude scenes in a movie. But thats art. Shouldnt be violating your sprieftsy. Kate, god bless you, kate, but those bathing suits . I had a pretty good idea what she looked like naked. I had an idea. I was missing 0. 001 of whatever was covered up on some of those. Right . I sort of felt like i had an idea of what a naked you know how close you get times on Sports Illustrated and stuff like that. It doesnt leave a lot to it does not, to imagination. I knew they would be a big story for us. It is. Anything that is on the cloud. Isnt that like your money and bank accounts, a lot of that is there, right . Bank accounts arent on on cloud, are they . Do a degree. The cloud is just a server in the sky some. Not even in the sky, but its on the ground. The important thing is not that apple itself was compromised. You have to advisely decide, im going after becky quick or Andrew Ross Sorkin or whoever it might be. That doesnt make me feel safe. The idea that the cloud is susceptible, i mean everything is susceptible. Everything is susceptible, but when you looked on various news aggregate websites, it was all about i because everything you do on you iphone these days youve backed up to the cloud. No, no. Except for you. Except for me. But for most people it does. The new incarnation of the iphone is even more so. Are you still carrying that . I do. I never put my credit card numbers into the internet. God bless you. So you think about being cool with technology, its a negative. Lets talk about the markets. The southbound has set 32 of the closer of the year. Hosting their best august performances since 2000. Year to day date, the dow is up 3 . The s p gaining more than 8 and the nasdaq is up by about 10 . We have a big week on the economic front. Building to fridays allimportant august jobs report. Today we get ism manufacturing and Construction Spending. Tomorrow we have factory orders, auto sales and the feds beige book. Thursday, its the adp report, international trade, productivity and cost and ism nonmanufacturing. Friday, it is the governments big employment report. Forecasters say the economy probably added 220,000 jobs last month. If so, it would mark the seventh straight month above the 200,000 mark. Thats the longest streak like that since 1997. Right now, lets take la look at the markets. This morning, futures are indicated higher. Right now, dow futures up by about 36 points above s p 500. The nasdaq up by just over 11. If youve been watching oil prices, youll see theyre do i know down slightly. Wti right now down by about 76 cents. All the way down to 95. 20. Ice brent is at 101. 98. Weve been keeping an eye on whats happening in the bond markets. The tenyear note at this point is yielding 2. 38 . And the dollar, thats interesting to watch, the euro has been under pressure. The dollar is up against is, 1. 3112. All of this with the ecb decision coming later this week. Well be hearing more from them. The dollar is up against both the pound and the yen. Gold prices this morning look like they are down by almost 10. Why wouldnt they be . Turmoil around the world. Putin said i can take kiev within two weeks and you guys better not mess with me because ive got nuke lawyer nothing i gist seems were not tighten that much yet as murp moves into it. Depending on what they say this week, it could be this week. So well see. And then last week japan was under 0. 5 for the year. Under 0. 35 . Well below 1 . And we were above spain. Theyre triple b, right . Which is like 80 points below right. So its fortunately, we have the perfect person to talk to us about all that. Mark is the manager of southwest securities. Would he have been talking with you all year about how strange its been watching whats been happening with yields around the globe with some of these bonds. What do you think is happening right now . Well, becky, weve got a couple things going on. First is the question of relative value. If you look at the german tenyear, under 0. 9 . The french tenyear at 12. 25 or at 2. 38 , the money thats not mandated for a given part of the world, the Central Bank Money or pension money or money managers. The United States treasuries look like the best value on the planet to me and i think thats why were going to keep going to lower yields. I do remember when i told you we were going to break 2 1 2 and like you were crazy, i remember. I remember. You send me reminders frequently along the way. Were still below 2. 4 today. Mark, let me ask you, with everything thats happening around the globe, how much does it matter what the ecb is . That was driving things relative value, but the ecb with the decision this week could continue to really demarkate those differences in value. Becky, after the decade weve been through, i hate to say this very often, but its a different world these days. I wont say the difference, because the Central Banks are certainly driving the markets, all the markets, even the equity market. In fact, weve had lower Interest Rates, in my opinion, its big one of the big equity markets this year. The ecb is going to have a Significant Impact not just on our sovereign debt and bonds in general, but also on equities especially if they keep driving the yields down. They started in the asset backed Purchase Program or they began quantitative easing. Were expecting all of those things and i just wonder how much of that is baked into the market and if they dont do some of those things, if that would be reflected in a big snap back of the market. Becky, theres so many people in year, as you know, that have said the average consensus was for by this time, we were going to have a 342 yield and close to 4 by the end of the year. I still any theres a significant amount of people that Interest Rates are. In my opinion, i dont think its baked into the market at this point. Lets talk about whats been happening in geopolitical news. Joe was just bringing up what putin has said most recently, saying he could take kiev in two weeks if he wanted to. How does that impact things . Theres no question that the geopolitical events with putin, with isis, with what happened in the gaza strip, with iraq, that had a significant effect upon treasuries, though not as significant as the trillion banks. But certainly in times of trouble, many has driven back into u. S. Treasuries as the biggest, deepest market in the world. And i dont see that discontinuing any decade soon. What does that mean in terms of the stock market . You continue to think stocks will do well, u. S. Stocks . I think the biggest driver for equities is the war on rates. I think were going to 2 on the tenyear and down from there. Interestingly enough, you take germany, spain, france and italy and average that out, that would be a yield of a 1. 50 compared to 2. 38. So theres still room to go. Plus, i would make the point, you were talking about it earlier, how well the dow and the s p has been this year. Dow is only at 3 . But the s p is up 8 . Right. If we use the 20year index, bonds are up 16. 95 . Wow. Way overshadowing equity markets. That is crazy. But thats where it is. Yes. You were right about yields, thats for sure. Were you more negative on the prospects a couple of years ago . And we dont think of it as insolvent. We just think of it has not growing. Theyre certainly not insole Vice President , sdwroe. We thought that for a while. We thought there were times where they were never like greece, we thought that was an insolvency probe. It was of themselves and two problems but it was cured by what the ecb did. It works to some extent. Maybe not in terms of growth, but at least theyre back, you know, yields arent 9 over there now. They got their house in order. Joe, the biggest things with the ecb did was they had the put where they said whatever tank, draghi said whatever it takes, and the next thing is they lowered Interest Rates. Its a carry play so they led many of the banks at 0. 15 and then he curved them to buy sovereign debt which they allow them to carry risk free and it mass droiven down, down and down aut sovereign dates in europe . It sounds lining if all 23 illegal country can know hit in the next km of months, thinking you can do that in super and fix everything, probably masks some of the problems were going to see in the future when all this printed money becomes less valuable. When you see it that way its like, wow, thats nice and pat and it works and things arent that simple a lot of time, month . Central bank mistakes dome back to haunt us before. Thats how people made on the of mope. Well see. Do you own a tie . Who owns have you ever been on have you ever worn a tie . Never, never. Have you ever been on with the a do you have images with like on the icloud . Never, never. Were you hacked . You see, that i no, but i dont have beckys pictures, i promise. Yeah, good. I dont have my pictures. I hope you havent because i dont think you can see unsee you naked. You dont want to do that, no. All right. Thank you, mark. Coming up you know what . I just had a visual and i cant undo it. Of him in a tie . Just a bow tie. Now ive got the image. Are millennials a pack of liars .

Welcome back, everybody. Right now, im tight for the executive em. Labor shortages are now being forecast in many professions. This is according to a report being released by dorchbs board today. Among the reasons and areas expected to see a shortfall in the next 15 years, you have librarian, sea captains, occupational therapist and plant operators. There are two main reasons. We have a demand for the workers in the case of Many Health Care areas or lack of interest in the jobs in the case of librarians. We hear about this where theyre having a heart time coming in were other places where you have many. Im confused about the librarians issue. The future of libraries, i think, are probably under threat to some degree. You havent been to a library to some time. They hold all kinds of groups for seniors, for little kids, the Library Hours to get them in. They have dvds to rent while youre there. They have computers set up. Libraries in ralt of towns are still vibrant places. I dont know why. Ive been in ours a lot. You see, its like i think youre the job might be defined differently. As in different than as opposed to a librarian to help find you a book. Can you imagine taking a job as an insieinside low peaeinsii salesman. We have books. I had them. We had them, too. We had the world books one. I didnt even have the good ones. We had the world book, too. Do you like world book better than britannica . For my high school graduation, i was given i think a 12 volume set of the dictionary. 12 volume set of the diction anterior . Dictionary. Yes. No wonder youre a word smith. Mine were put on a shelf above my bed. It pulled out of theway wall or whatever it was. Encarta, do you remember that . I cant imagine what honestly, we go because they have the childrens hours. I see a lot of people coming through. Our library is expanding. Speaking of the workforce, a new study finds millennials are more willing than others to lie to get ahead. The group is defined as anywhere between 19 and 36 years old. Millennials say they would take credit for someone elses work more than five times as frequently as boomers. One more headline from that survey, the younger employees are more hikely to selfidentify as workaholics. Im not a millennial, so i cant comment. Youre closer than i am. No, no. Are my kids millennials . No. 19. You have to be 19 to be a millennial. 1929 . 19 to 36. How do you feel about millennials . I feel like are demos broken out . I feel like we can say anything we want about them. I think we should try to attract some millennials. What i will say is that teach me how to cheat at work so no. We always thinking the younger ones are lazy, they have a sense of entitlement. And what part of all those things would be wrong . No, but thats what every generation think
