With the first snap. Calling it the superbore. 12 seconds. And hitting. They dont throw to sherman i am a huge Richard Sherman fan what was weird, peyton never looked right and the seahawks i fell like i was in seattle. Couldnt hear a thing when peyton was taking the snap. Carl, it was a noshow. It was, it was. We kick off a busy first week of february. Janet yellens sworn in as fed chair, as we speak. Earnings to come. A jobs number on friday. Tenyear yield hit its lowest since november friday. Currently around 2. 67. Asia traded lower on the weakening China Services pmi. Futures, in the green, after a rough january. As the nikkei enters correction territory, are we in for yet another rough month . As we said, yellens being sworn in. Well discuss challenges for her and the fed. Is joseph a. Banks hanging up on mens warehouse. Feels like. In talks to buy eddie bowauer. It was blood, sweat, tears at metlife stadium. Congratulations to the seahawks for their big win. They do well in that stadium, i might add. Yes they do. As we said, saw hawks beat the broncos 438 winning their first super bowl title since 76 and the first championship in any major sport for seattle since 79 when the supersonics won the nba title. Nice to see paul allen get the trophy. Sure was. Moments people cheered, mostly the budweiser dog ad. Yes. We should talk about the ads, because i think the general sense is there was no blockbuster ad, right. No. When people talk about winners, mentioning thing likes the budweiser puppy add. Yit. Radioshack ad. One of the things, i think, stocks, of course, i wanted to bring back the radioshack stock price from 80s, thats not going to happen. Pepsico, giant presence. Owned halftime and light show. Halftime, look, one of the reasons you go to the super bowl, halftime is amazing. Beyonce last year. Looked like fun, bruno, fireworks looked nice. Its a great its a great show and the halftime is a half hour long. Theres tons of commercials. But it was diagnosis congratulations to the seahawks, they played a hardfought, bonecrushing game, and im sure denvers saying they whooped us, period, end of story. Having been in seattle for four days last week, a lot of people, of course, sporting attire. I can imagine theyre excited. Interesting, you mentioned the supersonics. I will say this, theres lingering bitterness against w howard schultz, that team became the thunder. Right. Thunder. Kevin durant, Russell Westbrook drafted by seatle. Incredible. Howard schultz took mckellen, right . Those guys dont pal around much. No. Maybe they have in common that mckellen likes the Information Bureau in the chip po chipotle ad. Corporate overlay with the super bowl. A favorite tweet, go to papa johns, use peyton as your promo code and seahawk will take the pizza from you and eat it. Unbelievable. My most damaging tweet, frankly, was my daughter who said, dad, i mean, hello i took her to the game last year. Come on, you cant just tickets dont grow on trees. You went to two consecutive super bowls. You bet i did. The maserati ad, minutes into the game, chrysler reported sales for the month, beat, 8 up, they own maserati, fiat does, interesting, i dont know. For a broad american audience to go with product that upscale. Well everybody its interesting that chrysler routinely seems to dazzle with its ads. Come on, ads are funny. A couple years ago they had a few breakthrough made in detroit, you know, imported from detroit. One 0 the things i find other guys get lost in the shuffle. I dont hear about the other autos. To the markets here. Futures in the u. S. Pointing to modest gain as head of todays manufacturing data. On the other side of the globe, european and asian markets sell off after data show chinese factory growth slumped to sixmonth low. Nikkei falling 2 to 2 1 2 month low that index incorrect territory. Janet yellens sworn in as fed chair as we speak. Well bring you pictures as soon as we get it. Commentary about january indicator continues, dow down 5. 3 in the month. A bad month. Im lukewarm on the market short term. But there is kind of funny stuff here. If we had a pmi like we had in eurozone two years ago, we would have been up 200 points. The remember the bankrupt bank, they had a huge quarter, again we would have said, wow, buy the futures up, too. But, no, focused on turkey, 700 Million People in europe, thats an indicator, thinking about that. China is total shutdown, but thats a holiday. And the mccau gambling was huge. Bernanke is going to join brookings institution. Not a complete surprise, he had given his final appearance there. David wessel, of the journal is there but officially going there and make rain and did we want bernanke to go to blackstone . No. No. I think i like more of the idea of him continuing to distinguished fellow. Yes. Geithner went p e action. Le did. Geithner, not made the big money. Wow. Thus far. All about the benjamins even for the treasury. Being a lot about that, right . Geithner in Public Service, nor or less his career. Russell wilson making what Public Service makes. Hes going to get the contract. Russell wilson, not making big money. No, but my son was telling me about that, right. Really. Could it be as little as 500,000. Way to go. Got it right. Thats about to change dramatically. I think that is going to change. All right. Lets move on to a saga weve been covering here. Joseph a. Banks, in talks to buy eddie bower, the latest in the struggle between joseph a. Banks and mens warehouse and both companies having made offers to buy each other, the size of the potential eddie bauer deal, its early, talking about a company with 800 million in sales. Not a lot of overlaps between the two. Football, right . Football, eddie bauer. It was joseph a. Banks for mens warehouse, stiff armed there, coming back with the pacman. Dueling proxy fights. I did speak to ricky sandler, not much to report, but well seal if we hear from them. The largest shareholder in men and joseph a. Banks going after two directors, the ceo and chairman up at joseph a. Banks. But this is that and the letter that came out saturday night from joseph a. Banks all of the reasons mens warehouse, youre not what were looking for. Negative everybody if youre expecting that these two are going to get together. Is eddie bauer i remember they its one of the brands in the 80s a great stock for a long time. Went bankrupt. Lost in the shuffle. Too much debt. Golden gate purchased it. Thought decent private equity firm there, probably had taken a lot of the cost out of the business already. So how much upside is there . Yeah. You have questions in terms of the overlap which doesnt seem to exist a great deal. Ones casual, ones not. Right. And the idea that there may not be as much upside if you think golden gates a good aq acqui acquirer. This would be a terrific combination, but i guess it wouldnt be good for cnbc. Lets keep them apart. I thought we i think they both advertised. Were the real story. Our own suits that we get no, no. I never watch advertisements, youre not supposed to do that. I thought i could mention. Front and center. Not that that would color our coverage in any way. A big week for media, time warner reporting, twitter, fox news corps. Linked in, well have our choices. Yum tonight. Yes. Twitter, you know with the more look, i dont want to say buy twitter, because its up a lot, you look at what theyre doing and you look at how you relate that to the super bowl i was speaking to somebody in twitter in the Sports Department from twitter, brilliant guy from espn, super bowl is a twitter explosion. Yeah. Figures ive seen this morning showed number of tweets versus last years is up but not explosively so. The second half, i mean, were dialing around. Wow, im sure there was something on pbs that had good numbers second half. Our network we blew it out. We did. Right, second half. Bill mohrer. Herbalife, a muchneeded pop.

Herbalife, 1. 5 billion, says it plans to raise 1 billion through a convertible note issue. Also estimated Fourth Quarter profits and sales that were above expectations, sending the stock higher in the premark, not quite the shock and awe that many had anticipated previously. Once it got that clean bill of health from its auditors, if you recall, there was a lot of belief they would borrow a lot more than a billion dollars and buy back a lot more than a billion and a half to put it in some perspective. Increasing authorization to a billion and a half. Its 650 million now. They expect to begin repurchasing shares quickly there. Convertible bond offering also, 2019 convertible senior notes, theyll use that to help the cost of repurchasing shares. Battling again, on a number of fronts. I know. Ackman never stops. No. A few other things, sort of slowed momentuomentum. 20 buyback, what do people want . 100 buy back. Thought they would do 50 and squeeze the heck out of them. Weve stalked about stirrus, not an insignificant from his personal wealth in his stock. 400 million. We watched it reach 80 and its been down obviously. All of the political chatters been bad. I know there was talk for 80 dutch tender and it would squeeze. You know, instead, what youve got, kind of something thats good, if youre a shareholder, i guess. Right. Stocks up.

A lot of people talking about this should be the national holiday. Right. Feels kind of not as much news as you might expect. No. Especially last week, a lot. Major firms, very rare. We had one, costco, jpmorgan says buy it on a pullback. It has been straight down. But the numbers are good. So i retails so hated. Youve been talking to people at costco, and there is just an overall sent among people who follow retail, the weather has been so horrendous. Weathers horrendous. People trying to figure it out. Amazon numbers from last week. Right. 20 up top line, disappointment. Not enough. Lack of bottom line, at least based on what they were expecting. We didnt even see amazon, though it did benefit at top line, it was not a beneficiary in the market from what seemed to be everybody elses losses. Yeah, i thought theyd get better. I still like amazon. Ive good to tell you, seattle the hub of corporate commerce. Its interesting. Costco, amazon. Starbucks, microsoft, you havent talked about that. We may have a new ceo. Not a big surprise, satya nadella, only same were hearing about now from microsoft. And boeing, of course, no longer headquarters there but still making planes. Costco, take another one that has that same ethos, whole foods, these are two companies that work for, wages are good, people move up in organizations. Whole foods, which has been a tortuous decline, piper says, finally, time to buy it. I think both companies are terrific. I want to compliment you, i was with a bunch of executives this weekend at the super bowl, charlie ergan, davids the best. Hey, jim, davids the best. Im here, too. No, davids the best. One of the things that was the topic for the colorado executives offline, pot. All torn about it. Workers, smoke pot and its legal and they dont know what to do. None of the executives i talked about are in favor of it. The governor, the senate theyre no in favorer. Theyre not doing it during work hours. The same way you wouldnt be having a drink during work hours. The idea that this has become the stoner state. And theyre all kind of, you know, theyre not crazy about that. Theyre just not crazy about it. They all i didnt find a single executive who is like, yeah, everybody lights up and its better than drinking, it didnt. Drinking, arguably, is worse. Conceivably worse, right. Dealing with a lot of those things in colorado. A lot of issues a big issue. This is not going away.
