CNBC Squawk On The Street October 23, 2014
The big question though, does oil once again determine how stocks are going to move today . We are going to keep our eye on that. Our road map begins with the market rally built by caterpillar. The company handily beating estimates. Airlines and automobiles helping accelerate those gains. Results from gm,
United Continental
and more. Some mixed results in media. Well run through the numbers from yelp, at t, comcast, as well. First up, futures on track to open sharply higher. A big reason for the positive sentiment. Blowout results from caterpillar. Earned 1. 72 a share in the corner well above estimates raising their fullyear guidance. We had steady sales and steady production and getting after lean manufacturing. All our operational margins, getting good
Cost Reduction
, top line from our supply base, as well. Operationally, really makes me feel good about this year and this quarter. Cost cutting, for sure. In this environment, they are now looking full year 6. 50. Earlier in the year they were at 5. 85. This has become a battleground for the shorts. No sooner did they report than i had four people say how lousy it was. What i find funny is when you basically had a china operation thats terrible. When you have a company that has historically missed and you have fantastic leverage on very little sales growth. Its okay to say it was a good quarter. There is nothing in this quarter that is surprisingly horrible. I know that may not be enough, but the theme of this quarter so far is stocks have been going down because they are supposed to be surprisingly horrible. Then they are not surprisingly horrible. There is nothing i can say other than caterpillar is what i find amazing. We are having 5
Revenue Growth
so far this quarter. 11. 1 earnings per share growth. All people think about is how horrible things are. They are historically conservative on their macrooutlook. World
Economic Growth
could improve in 2015. Big theme i have seen. A lot of it is hinged on the idea germany will not commit suicide. Theyll do something. A lot of it is that we may see a bottom in china now that they are purging the state companies that are so fat. If we were back four weeks ago. If caterpillar were at 110, i would say this isnt good enough. But at 94, 95, it is good enough. Boeing yesterday was 129 going into the quarter. It wasnt good enough when you read about the dreamliner. So it gets hit. It depends on where the stock was going into the quarter. What about all the bears im hearing from today. That is you buy back a lot of shares. Your results are going to look good. They havent borrowed to buy shares. Do we want them, there was a scene in a show i liked called the shield. A guy named lem made a lot of money hijacking on the armenian money trade. He burned all the money putting it in a furnace. The shorts would like caterpillar to take the money and burn it rather than buy back stock. If caterpillar would put up a lot of plants, would the shorts say this is great . What they clearly want to do is have the money shoved into a furnace. One time i said this about chevron. Thats what they were doing. They were none too happy. Chevron bought back a lot of stock. It was brilliant. Well talk more about cat all morning long. Lets get to the airlines and gm. Planes and automobiles joining the earnings parade today. General motors
Third Quarter
, 97 cents. That did beat forecast. Helped by
Strong Demand
in north america and china. Revenue rose. Southwest, american, jetblue all recording record earnings while profits at united doubled. 85. 8. Southwest, lower fuel costs, margins are higher. Good environment to run an airline. Southwest is such a good company. It runs like a real company. A lot of the
Airlines Come
back. I like whats happening in american. Delta was terrific. What i loved about southwest, we had an ebola scare in this country. You would have expected a precipitous decline as we got with sars in 2002 2004. What we saw from southwest, not only did they not blink, the numbers were really good even after the quarter. Gary did say they obviously had all kinds of meetings regarded preparedness for ebola when the cdc is tracking everyone from west africa for 21 days. They went from thinking, you know what, this is nothing. Its like a fever to cdc being what a lot of americans wanted. Whether you think they are right or not, thats what they wanted. What was great about southwest. It was almost as if the shorts, again the shorts are controlling a lot of data here. They didnt want them to show they were idiots or to show its really bad. If southwest didnt have meetings, they should be shamed by the president. The fact is the panic didnt extend to the customer. Lets listen to what gary kelly did tell the guys this morning on squawk. From a macroperspective, the economy has been more stable this year. Energy prices have been very stable for close to the last two years until the recent drops. Then travel demand has been very strong. Obviously, the results go through the end of september. Even beyond the end of the quarter into october, our demand has continued to be very strong. All things look really positive. Lets quickly do gm here. Slight revenue miss. North america operating profit 2. 5 billion. Slightly larger operating loss in europe. Trying to reduce head count in russia. Right. Gm is an example of a stock that has come down just horrendously and has been a bad stock. What did we think in russia . Obviously, russia shut down for the quarter. The numbers out of russia and gdp growth are horrendous. People are thinking gm is not as bad as ford or the ford outlook that mark fields gave us. About south america largely. South america was very good. Compared to what shields led us to believe. Gm, you could say underpromise, overdeliver. We were not sitting there talking about an incident that occurred where there were a lot of fatalities that fineburgs gotten involved in. This was not a recall quarter, it was an earnings quarter. I expect a backlash in the day someone will find fault in gm. In the end, we want europe to be stronger. A lot of what we are seeing is pmi france bad, germany better. We have to monitor these countries the way we did in 2012. I wish we didnt, but we have to. Finally on the earnings front, yelp tumbling in the premarket after warning on
Current Quarter
revenue. Comcast better than expected quarterly earnings. Revenue a tad shy of consensus. At t missed with its results cutting fullyear guidance. Average revenue per phone user. They are trying to get people to pay full price for their phones, wean them off subsidies. Fewer than expected signups. The operating cash flow at nbc up 13 . Thats with able ad revenue coming in a little bit. We remember when we werent mentioned when we worked for ge, we played for pride. I look at what the network, what i was going to say they, but we, has done with nbc. Its obvious there was a lot of profit to be had there. Comcast, if they are cutting the cord i dont know what it would look like if they werent. If comcast were bad, ive done enough career suicide, it wouldnt bother me to say its bad. At t, we mentioned. Yelp is interesting. 5 cents beats by 2 cents. They are looking at 50 year on year
Revenue Growth
. That is clearly not enough. No. I didnt under i went through the yelp quarter over and over again. I cant figure out why it wasnt so good. There was a line in the quarter that was amazing. They said the google monopoly hurt their growth. Its the local that is bothering people. When i see google monopoly and algorithm, i think thats what they did with ebay. Going over with analysts this morning, we cant figure out why they missed. That is worrisome. I found yelp worrisome. Ive been a big fan of yelp the concept. People are worried broadly about these 2 to 5 billion companies moderately profitable, expensively price and a lot of risks. If any of them came down, i think yahoo would buy them. I think yahoo needs to make an acquisition. I was out with uber people last night. That may be valued at 10 billion whatever, but the private market is valuing these
Companies Higher
than the public market. Uber is big. Stories in the journal about hedge funds looking to get into venture capital. All they do is bet against companies when they are going up. Then when theyre down, panic and sell. Hedge funds remember last wednesday was a day where the hedge funds will live in infamy. Yes. Well talk more about that this morning. Also we had to deal with here in the markets yesterday, what happened in canada. A lot of questions remain in canada after that gunman killed a soldier then walked into the halls of parliament, began shooting there yesterday. Michelle
Caruso Cabrera
joins us with more. Roughly 50 minutes, the
Canadian Parliament
will sit for their session as previously scheduled. That tweeted from the minister of industry saying, our democracy cannot be intimidated by todays events. The area known as
Parliament Hill
remains offlimits to visitors due to the ongoing investigation. It was cleared of
Security Threat
last night by the
Royal Canadian
mounted police. When parliament meets, it will be almost exactly 24 hours after two shootings occurred in the
Canadian Capital
of ottowa that left one soldier dead. He leaves behind a 6yearold son. Also dead, the suspected shooter identified by the
Canadian Police
as 32yearold michael zehafbibeau. The toronto globe and mail citing several forces that he was recently designated a highrisk traveler. Which means the country feared he would travel abroad to commit crimes and his passport had been taken. What is not clear at this point, was there more than one shooter . All the early statements from
Law Enforcement
yesterday indicated they were looking for multiple shooters. They started to back away from that late in the day. As of today, they are saying its too early to say this was just one individual. There were two words we heard yesterday fluid, meaning its not over, and lockdown. That caused the futures to go down more than when oil reversed. I was going to ask what was the bigger dynamic . I think ottowa. The oils future contract did expire. October 22nd was expiration date. You can imagine a lot of financial buyers are not going to buy more oil. I think the ottowa story we are all conditioned when you get one incident, you are going to get more, until proven that youre not. I found that one i dont know why. I love canada very much. My first reaction was no, no, please not canada. Fliers played last night with pittsburgh and sang o canada. Thats a special place. Our thoughts are with all our canadian friends. Right. Ive been to ottowa. I said, oh, my, ottowa . Michelle, thanks for that report. Thanks to amazon and other retailers, you might have to spend more for free shipping. Well fill you in on that. Later
Royal Caribbean
ceo richard fain, how us the cruise line operating handling concerns about ebola . Premarket looks like good action. A lot driven by solid earnings. In a world thats changing faster than ever, we believe outshining the competition tomorrow requires challenging your
Business Inside
and out today. At cognizant, we help forwardlooking
Companies Run
better and run different to give your customers every reason to keep looking for you. So if youre ready to see opportunities and see them through, we say lets get to work. Because the future belongs to those who challenge the present. Dow looks to open about 160 points or so after losing some ground yesterday after what happened to oil. Inventory numbers are rough. Wall street journal say
Online Shoppers
have to spend more to get free shipping. Retailers are trying to cover the cost of the perk. Amazon, best buy and the gap are jacking up the minimum you have to spend to get free shipping. On average you have to buy 82 in merchandise to qualify. That number will probably go up over time. Target went the other way. Coupled with what
Federal Express
was saying. The word people are using behind the scenes is resilience. The consumer is resilient. I think the consumer loves gasoline being down here. They will not mind their heating bill either. The consumer hates washington turmoil. Washington has been off the front page. True. Amazon does report tonight. Once again, we will have the conversation about how much patience we have to let bezos spend the way he likes to spend. I counted i think five spends. Im going to do an analysis how many times they use the word spend. Google did a lot of bad when they said spend to get the best people. We want the best people fired, thats what the market says. There are
Certain Companies
doing so well they are hiring the greatest minds. By the way, those are the ones that have very good stocks. You mentioned gas prices helping the consumer. Jobless claims, the fourweek average is at the lowest in almost 15 years. When five liesman said that steve does great work why arent we talking more about that . Maybe its considered to be, if you say that, youre making a political judgment. Hes not making a political judgment. He is doing a moving average. I thought that was stark. I was thinking we are back before the great recession. That is a terrific number and it does matter. We are going to keep our eye on that. You mentioned some of the data we got this morning. Germany, october pmi. Was an expansion . We were looking for a contraction. We got the architectural billings number yesterday. Caterpillar plus 15. North america is very
United States
is very strong. If china got better, if latin america got better. If other stories didnt get worse. Yes. Would you say the market is undervalued. Well get cramers mad dash in a moment. Well count down to the opening bell and one last look at the premarket on this thursday, a busy day for earnings. We needed 30 new hires for our call center. Im spending too much time hiring and not enough time in my kitchen. [ female announcer ] need to hire fast . Go to ziprecruiter. Com and post your job to over 30 of the webs leading job boards with a single click; then simply select the best candidates from one easy to review list. You put up one post and the next day you have all these candidates. Makes my job a lot easier. [ female announcer ] over 100,000 businesses have already used zip recruiter and now you can use zip recruiter for free at a special site for tv viewers; go to ziprecruiter. Com offer2. At a special site for tv viewers; shouting location. Heres the location that matters the most. Here. Or here. Or here. Its wherever this is. To get customers to come here and stay here, youre going to need an app that connects to all your systems. So they can bank, shop, do what they need to do, and you gotta do it fast. Before the competition does. Its tough out here; you better be on the right cloud. Today theres a new way to work. And its made with ibm. Markets are going to open to the up side as we get to the busiest day for earnings. This is the worst day of the year if youre a homeworkdriven person. Lets get cramers mad dash. This is not an earnings story. This is an actual initiation of barclays and alibaba. One of the reasons alibaba is such a home run. It has 30 growth and sells 30 times 2016 numbers. 40 growth rate, they are willing to pay at least one times growth rate. Dont forget, yahoo. Marissa meyer kept back to having to sell on the ipo. Numbers are extraordinary. It continues to be something the growth guys love. Still waiting to see what kinds of things they will be interested in buying. Exchina. They have a lot of money. I was talking about uber last night. They are funding a competitor of uber. Remember who i lucrative alibaba is. They both spend a lot of money. For long term. 3 m is the core position. He is still getting great organic growth. Tightens the reins, but very positive. He is a great manager, but doesnt get a lot of credit because he is not a glory hound. He consistently puts up good numbers. Behind the scenes, he is delivering all over the world. They still see three to four to five on the year. If you were going to see a warning about the dollar, would we have heard it today . Thank you. There was a cut of numbers not long ago which said the dollar will kill them. Some managers invent a lot of new product and get great numbers. They invent a huge amount of new product. Theirs is one of the most exciting websites. Youll see why 3m is winning. Those who sell 3 m will be tempted to hope the market comes down to get back in. The focus is on a lot of these
Global Industrial
companies. They have consistently good numbers. He is in the wall of fame for the last year. He is terrific. Well get to a lot of the other names. Opening bell just a few moments away. Theres a difference when you trade with fidelity. One you wont find anywhere else. Onesecond trade execution. Guaranteed. Did you see it . In one second, he made a trade, we looked for the best price, and the trade went through. Do the other guys guarantee that . Didnt think so. Open an account and find more of the expertise you need to be a better investor. Theres confidence. Then theres trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. Our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. Its no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. And during the big tire event, get up to 140 in mailin rebates on four select tires. You are watching cnbc squawk on the street. Opening bell a couple of minutes here at the big board. A lot of things going the markets way today. Decent economic numbers out of europe. Earnings are without a major blowup. Aside from at ts revenue outlook. And yelp. Caterpillar, very significant. People are saying to me, jim, dont be confused. Cat speak, when they say 2015 sales wont be significantly different from 2014, that does not mean they are flat. Maybe not as much as up as 15 . Thats important. Dunkin donuts, i didnt like their phrase. It will be a challenge to achieve the low end of the full year, im not crazy about that. Upping the number of stores they think the country can sustain. Right. That is consistent. I would like to see them blow away the number and they are not doing it. We havent talked about
Union Pacific
. Union pacific is such a great tale. Excuse me looking away from the camera. It was monster. Some of the numbers for
United Continental<\/a> and more. Some mixed results in media. Well run through the numbers from yelp, at t, comcast, as well. First up, futures on track to open sharply higher. A big reason for the positive sentiment. Blowout results from caterpillar. Earned 1. 72 a share in the corner well above estimates raising their fullyear guidance. We had steady sales and steady production and getting after lean manufacturing. All our operational margins, getting good

If you were going to see a warning about the dollar, would we have heard it today . Thank you. There was a cut of numbers not long ago which said the dollar will kill them. Some managers invent a lot of new product and get great numbers. They invent a huge amount of new product. Theirs is one of the most exciting websites. Youll see why 3m is winning. Those who sell 3 m will be tempted to hope the market comes down to get back in. The focus is on a lot of these
Global Industrial<\/a> companies. They have consistently good numbers. He is in the wall of fame for the last year. He is terrific. Well get to a lot of the other names. Opening bell just a few moments away. Theres a difference when you trade with fidelity. One you wont find anywhere else. Onesecond trade execution. Guaranteed. Did you see it . In one second, he made a trade, we looked for the best price, and the trade went through. Do the other guys guarantee that . Didnt think so. Open an account and find more of the expertise you need to be a better investor. Theres confidence. Then theres trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. Our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. Its no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. And during the big tire event, get up to 140 in mailin rebates on four select tires. You are watching cnbc squawk on the street. Opening bell a couple of minutes here at the big board. A lot of things going the markets way today. Decent economic numbers out of europe. Earnings are without a major blowup. Aside from at ts revenue outlook. And yelp. Caterpillar, very significant. People are saying to me, jim, dont be confused. Cat speak, when they say 2015 sales wont be significantly different from 2014, that does not mean they are flat. Maybe not as much as up as 15 . Thats important. Dunkin donuts, i didnt like their phrase. It will be a challenge to achieve the low end of the full year, im not crazy about that. Upping the number of stores they think the country can sustain. Right. That is consistent. I would like to see them blow away the number and they are not doing it. We havent talked about
Union Pacific<\/a>. Union pacific is such a great tale. Excuse me looking away from the camera. It was monster. Some of the numbers for
Union Pacific<\/a> when you go over the line items, im talking industrial up 19 . Ag up, intermodal. Automotive only up 3 . And coal up. Apple, we should mention, having hit an alltime high yesterday looks to do it again today on looking for any real news on it. I just continue to think there was an article in the new york times. The apple ecosystem. Thats not enough. But people realize it was apples to win and they won. Lets await the opening bell. Look at the s p at the top of your screen. A lot of people talked about the internals yesterday being relatively benign. I felt that way. That was important. A lot of people were complaining we didnt hit bottom. Oil bounces back. Thinking about apple, the at t number is not bad. Good point. At the big board, aol celebrating makers, a platform of womens stories. I remember that acquisition. Very good acquisition. At the nasdaq flexion therapeutics. Almost uniformly positive. I hate that. The bears needed down. Union pacific. There is tim. Tim armstrong of aol working the floor. Just came by to say hi. Tieless. I dont know, maybe i can be tieless one day. Under armour beats by a penny. They are boosting their full year revenue view, not by a ton. People wanted more. No. Kevin flack is an underpromised overdelivered guy. Nike had an unbelievable quarter. People started thinking if nike is unbelievable, under armour will be unbelievable. Kevin plank does not like to juice his stock. People who know him, he thinks of himself as an nfl coach. He does not go into the next game saying we are going to crush him. Weve got to see. Every game is a different game. Lets not forget. Stock is up 50 . Yes. Its a good product. The expansion there is going to be so amazing. Be aware you might have to buy it back higher when the smoke clears. Apparel up 26 and foot wear up 50 . That was great. Vf corp is an interesting study to switch directions. They were down a lot, but line by line was amazing. We didnt mention celgene yet. That historically sold off when it reports. Their bread and butter plus 19. They have stakes in so many different companies. Thats important. Lam research did not raise the guide. There is a lot of belief here now. Defense
Companies Continue<\/a> to knock it out of the park. Lockheed is one of the winners. Boeing is challenged. General dynamics, highest operating net in four years. Highest margins in six years. I am disappointed in retrospect
Lockheed Martin<\/a> didn didnt. Northrop grubman is amazing. These are companies that saw it company and are doing a better job than people realized. Caterpillar, 172 was a blowout. People figured caterpillar, that is a layup short. Sometimes the market confounds you. You see 3m up four. People expected them to miss the quarter. When you expect to miss a quarter, stock goes from 148 to 138, analysts are getting negative, then you get a short squeeze. That is whats happening there. Cat and 3m are the best performing dow components. At t, obviously, the worst, followed by procter and gamble. The journal says the succession game is back in play. A lot of people seem to get shuffled at proctor. That means maybe the quarter is not that good. I didnt like the unilever quarter at all. Be careful betting against proctor. The number may not be stellar, but he is taking action now. Its big. Why isnt yelp pulling things down . A
Little Company<\/a> called service now i had on mad money delivered a blowout number. That is counteracting what we are seeing in yelp, which people are saying is a bit of an outlier. How much do you think oil is driving equities . 80 . You think its ridiculous . Thats the algorithm. So much is known as program training. Computers spined out there is a good correlation when oil goes down, sell the s p. Doesnt matter whether that be a company like dow which wants oil to be here. Or kimberlyclark, a company i like that delivered a superior number. You have a lot of companies that want oil down. Yet the hedge funds and their programs say when oil is down, sell stocks. When you have oil up 71 cents, everyone says happy days are here again, as stupid as that is. Gm saying they spent 700 million on recall costs . Gm was the recall company. Gm will come in because people dont trust gm. Theres always a wrinkle to gm people dont care for. We are seeing a lot of rollbacks of what we saw yesterday. Goldman sachs was down two yesterday off of what . Its in the dow. Its a big stock. Its up two. Off what . Its in the s p, its a big stock. We are getting a lot of companies that are completely being driven by the larger s p. This is the most commoditized ive seen as the quarters are the most different from ive seen. All stocks go up, obviously. This is a variable quarter situation. Look no further than boeing which people are choking on. Downgrade by credit suisse. Dreamliners is costing too much. We are getting within the industrials great variance in earnings, but getting uniformed trading because of the s p being so powerful. Right. Carmax . Oreilly automotive . Autos are getting some notice today, i would argue. We did have
Mario Gabelli<\/a> speaking positively. Fleet is 1 years old for autos. Thats aged. They are all over the map. On a day like today, you look at some of these quarters and you say, wow, i thought they were supposed to be doing badly. What are they doing doing well . A lot of ceos are better than we think even as there is a perception from people at home all ceos are bums. Tractor supply . Looking for about plus four. I ended up getting 5. 3 on that, 5. 6. That is a nice up side move. People felt there is no way
Tractor Supply<\/a> would have a good quarter after the last two being bad. You like to contrast that with a company i have a crossbow from, cabellas which blew the number down 11 . These are stores you ought to go to. I love neigh
Tractor Supply<\/a>. I love cabellas, but that is a
Sporting Goods<\/a> play. Tractor supply is a gentleman former play and garden play. That was quite good. I felt they would blow it. Pulte, numbers in line. Weve seen good action out of
Home Improvement<\/a> retailers. Theyve been amazing. Existing numbers were good. Refis are good. Talking about mortgages. Doing more
Mortgage Work<\/a> last night. Pulte is not up from that. I like that number. There is more money in the consumer pocket. Wells did say theres tremendous refi. Consumers have more money in their pocket and not worried taxes are going to go up because washington is in disarray. We love disarray out of washington. Big broad 30,000 feet . Dont like it up 200. Its a long day. I do think we put in a bottom postebola scare. We need to see russia totally resolved. I like the numbers coming out of china and copper going up. How about this . We had a big volatile down day. It scared a lot of people p. A lot of people got out. It looks like there was a mistake in that. Its funny. Precipitated by abbvie backing away from shire. Look how much that is up. Incredibly painful for john paulson. Those guys go flailing and everyone thinks the world is over. Union pacific says everything is well. Tenyear back almost to 2. 26 . Refi. Watch oil if they try to crack oil, you get it under 80. I had rich kinder on last night. You said you would be surprised how liquid these
Oil Companies<\/a> are. There is too much money to be made in marcellus and utica where they are also producing tremendous job growth. If you go to western pennsylvania or northeast pennsylvania or ohio, ive got a job for you right now. Paying more than you can get doing anything else. If you are willing to brave winter and summer of north dakota, and you can get 27 an hour at mcdonalds. Have you watched that stock . Wasnt that supposed to be a hideous number . Its up 2 then. Change is going to come. Thats been your theme back to 92. They know how good they are. With all of that, dow is up 200 points. S p back to 1947. Some of the levels we had trouble busting through yesterday. 1947, again a very good year, expansion for the market. Lets get to bob pisani on the floor. Great morning here. 910 sectors on the up side. Only telecom down led by strength in industrial. Energy, health care, defensive names are doing fairly well. I want to talk about oil. We had good earnings reports this morning. Oil impacted a lot of it. You want to see what lower oil does to an oil companys business . Look at occidental. In the
Third Quarter<\/a> 2013 they had earnings of 1. 97. Third quarter 2014 1. 55. Earnings down 24 from a year ago. That is what lower oil will do for an oil company. Occidental petroleum was killed. Went from 95 to 85 and now trying to climb back again. A lot of stocks got killed in the last two weeks. Look one year later. Today they are announcing 2. 75. Earnings up 82 . Capacity constraints are helping. This is one of the things oil will do for you. Take a look at united here. We were, what, 50 . We went to 40 in united and we are climbing back slowly but surely back towards that 50 level. Same with american. American had 1. 04 last year. Now they have 1. 66. I have a different take on caterpillar than you guys. Look what a
Strong Energy<\/a> business does for a company that sells into the energy business. Caterpillar had 1. 72. They beat by 36 cents. How does a company that big beat by 36 cents . Business in
Energy Transportation<\/a> was fantastic. All the beat was because they are selling into that business. They sell transportation equipment into the energy area. Construction is another 6 cents. There is a company that is doing well because our
Energy Industry<\/a> in the
United States<\/a> is doing well. You want to see what geopolitical constructions do to a company in the oil business . Take a look at weatherford. This is a big oil services company. Big driller. They came out and reported earnings of 32 cents way below expectations because they are very big in northern libya,
Northern Iraq<\/a> and they had disruptions there their earnings and operating income were down. Oil and geopolitical issues affecting a lot of companies. Talking about pulte. The important thing about pulte is flat. That was a real disappointment on the order level. The thing that saved them. Average selling prices were up nicely about 8 . Thats the main reason we are not seeing a decline more in that particular group. A little bit of a disappointment this year in housing. Finally want to note, some disappointments in the tech area, citrix was a disappointment. Revenues werent that good. Teradyne and lam research did not have great numbers. Lam talked positively about 2015. Not far from the highs of the day, dow up 200 points. Thank you very much. Lets get to the bonds picks and check in with rick santelli. So many things going on. All conforming to a comp of highest levels since the 13th, so two weeks. We are up five basis points. You are starting to see a little bit of flattening creep in after everything was steepening since last wednesdays rout of the equity markets and dropping yields. Look at a twoday of 10s. We cleared yesterdays high yield. Very significant level. Next two charts, the next two charts are going to show you the twoweek highs whether you look at 10year or boons. The low yields you see on the right side of the chart, those dont even reflect the intraday lows that were much lower than the settlement lows used for charts. If we look at september 1st for hyg, i know that its risk on risk off. Maybe thats oversimplified, but maybe its back in vogue involving some of the horrible issues involving canada yesterday. Dollar versus yen. It is 1. 10 but backed off. It is coming back. This is a big move in terms of dollar improvement. Last chart is the after mentioned euro versus dollar. You could clearly see it seems to be running out of gas again. Will talk to you soon. Former gm vice chairman bob lutz. Are the automakers latest results a sign the worst is over . We are up about 200 on the dow. S p up about 20 handles. Im angela, and i quit smoking with chantix. People who know me, to this day they say, i never thought you would quit. You know, i really didnt either but chantix helped me do it. Along with support,
Chantix Varenicline<\/a> is proven to help people quit smoking. It gave me the power to overcome the urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of
Mental Health<\/a> problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. Im a nonsmoker; that feels amazing. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. A pet friendly hotel. Visit a tripadvisor pet friendly hotel. With millions of reviews, tripadvisor makes any destination better.

Changing the way you think of retirement. Take a look at the s p. Hanging in there. Trying to make up some of the ground we obviously lost over the last week or so. I know people hate gm. That stock will not rally. Ibm. People are again bet withing that
Warren Buffett<\/a> is clearing out, but they dont know the answer to that. I am surprised some of the oil surface stocks are doing well, but they were heavily shorted going into the corner. Im thinking of diamond offshore. I want to warn people, when i say its a long day. Im saying there are a lot of people who do not want this market higher and are worried about their year. When i say that its because a lot of people not set up the way people are at home. They are looking at 3m saying, wow, i thought that would be a big miss and wasnt. Now i have to cover or buy back the stock i shorted. Thats why stock like that is up six in what was a typical good quarter for 3m. Be careful. Does this stuff go on . Id love to say it did. People are short defense stocks after what happened with
Lockheed Martin<\/a>. You have a lot of companies delivering numbers that arent supposed to. Thats why you get this kind of thing. Face week at an alltime high. Take a listen to this. [ speaking mandarin ] im not jealous of him at all. He is explaining his chinese is rough and appreciates having the opportunity to practice, and learning the language for his wife priscilla who is chinese and her family. My wife is fluent and made her listen last night. She said his accent sounds like he is obviously just learning, but his vocab is amazing. How you learn that and run a 200 billion
Market Cap Company<\/a> is amazing. Back to the idea, we have people who run let me show american pride. My old friend larry cutler would do that. Google is an
American Company<\/a> with worldwide dominance. He goes to china and wows them. My mother would be ashamed of the way he dresses, but youre allowed to dress that way when you are as accomplished as he is. We are not accomplished enough. We are still wearing suits, ties. We are trying. We are trying to compensate. For the fact we are no zuck. You like this stock at 20. We had a great call on it. Now at 80. The manager of my charitable trusts, we have to tell people dont be too greedy facebook. Palo alto, dont be too greedy. There are companies im saying we are really right.

Million Barrels<\/a> per day in september. Thats down from 9. 68
Million Barrels<\/a> per day in august. Everyone has been saying the saudis are flooding the zone with oil. That is clearly not the case judging by this. Thats why you are seeing a lift in those stocks, even though we saw some
Companies Report<\/a> very not good numbers. Occidental reported not good number for its california division. That stock is up. Oil controls. When you see something positive, it shouldnt control, but it controls. The market goes up in general, and thats whats happening. Well talk to bob lutz later. One question will be at these prices, does it mean all the efforts to be fuel efficient, is that wasted time in the near future . The light weighting of cars is going to be challenged by this. I think that in the end, people, we want to use less oil. The country is more environmental than we realize. We have jarden. Avnet has been the battleground.

Economic Indicators<\/a> lei up 0. 8 , a bit better than expectation which was 0. 6 to 0. 7 . Last months up 0. 2 remains unrevised. A solid leading indicator number as we look at treasury yields priced at the low levels of the session. Back to you. Ill pick it up. Thanks for that breaking news. Lets focus on the markets and the
Economic Data<\/a>. We got jobless claims earlier rising this week, still sitting near 14year lose. Lets bring in steve liesman. The message from the economy here in the u. S. Seems to still be resilience in the face of what we are seeing around the globe. Thats right. If there is a wave of weakness coming from either side of east or west, it hasnt hit our shores. I think thats worth talking about. Stocks have been incredibly volatile. Gdp less so. Weve been at this range looking at the rapid update of 3 to 3. 5 down to 3. 1. We tracked ten economists on how incoming
Economic Data<\/a> changes their forecast. Most recent data was unchanged. Here are some of the people contributing. Obviously, jobless claims coming in, its up a bit but still well below 300,000, at a level that was at the bottom of previous recessions. There are the growth expectations there. Ive drawn a line at 3 . For the last five quarters except for whatever happened in q1, if it was the weather, have been above 3 which is above the believed potential of the economy, which means we should be soaking up labor slack and productive slack in the economy through those numbers. Not gangbusters, but decent. Especially 3. 1 volatility with 4. 6 . We have a little bit of the volatility around one economic number, but overall, the economy, the economic number, the forecast for this
Quarter Holding<\/a> up despite this incredible volatility in the stock market. Steve, thank you for that. More breaking news this morning. Canadian
Parliament Getting<\/a> ready to meet in ottowa about 24 hours after that tragic shooting there. Do want to give you that live shot in ottowa and bring in our chief
International Correspondent<\/a> michelle
Caruso Cabrera<\/a>. The individual there is the sergeant at arms
Kevin Vickers<\/a> who shot the shooter yesterday. You can see the applause he is getting. Members of
Parliament Today<\/a> committed to trying to get back to business as usual in an effort to say that the terrorists have not won, of course. You can see quite an emotional response to him in what must be an incredibly emotional day for the members there. This is the house of commons meeting. They have a senate and house of commons, as well. Clearly an emotional scene there, michelle. By the way, i assume we are getting more and more confirmation yesterday was an isolated incident . Yes. Numerous canadian news outlets reported they received confirmation from
Law Enforcement<\/a> officials that they are acting on the assumption michael zehafbibeau acted alone. This man killed him as he tried to do what he did in the parliament in canada. There were great concerns that there would be more attacks because there were two shootings close in time. The last hour
Canadian Police<\/a> telling local outlets in canada they believe there was only one shooter yesterday. Thank you for that. Our chief
International Correspondent<\/a> michelle
Caruso Cabrera<\/a>. Caterpillar shares jumping. Trounced analyst expectations raising its outlook for the year. This year has been great because we had steady sales, steady production try our lines and we are getting after lean manufacturing and shows our margins are just about everything and getting good
Cost Reduction<\/a> top line from our supplier, supply base, as well. Operationally, its what makes me feel good about this year and this quarter. Operation is the word. Lets bring in jpmorgan managing director who has been with us here. Ann, operation is a keyword there begin whats going on in the
Global Economy<\/a> and mess that is still the mining sector. I think interestingly weve beaten up on caterpillar quarter after quarter after quarter. And their inability to execute on the manufacturing side. Here we are in an environment where revenues are pretty flat and the operating performance is improving. Kudos to them on this quarter. They did deliver a decent operating number. One of the stronger points was energy production, supplying some of the machinery there. What happens to that given what weve seen in the price of crude oil going down to 80 a barrel. Does that reduce or eventually demand, especially when it comes to big
Oil Exploration<\/a> companies and
Production Companies<\/a> . Actually, one of the reasons we are neutral on caterpillar heading into 2015 is on that thesis with oil prices coming down. Not only has caterpillars engine, oil and gas
Business Done<\/a> well, but seeing a lot more
Construction Equipment<\/a> going to infrastructure buildup for oil and gas domestically. We are a little concerned with oil prices, if they fall further going into 2015 it will impact many of caterpillars businesses, not just its engine, oil and gas business. Youre never afraid to call a spade a spade. We had tough conversations about cat. Tough conversations about deere. When i hear you say kudos but still at a neutral, to what degree are you changing your view, if at all . I dont think valuation is that compelling right now for me to change my rating on the name. Interestingly, i was over in europe last week at a conference. I sat with several caterpillar dealers. One of them actually complimented caterpillar on its ability to execute and deliver product on time. I laughed and said this is the first time i heard you speak kindly of caterpillar in many, many years. I think there is something fundamentally going on within caterpillar. As doug said, perversely maybe flat demand gives them the opportunity to focus on operations. What is your judgment on china at the moment . What are you seeing . Whats the analysis . China, and in particular for caterpillar has never been a big market directly. We are seeing
Construction Equipment<\/a> sales down in china. No surprise there. The bigger issue for
Companies Like<\/a> caterpillar and china is the indirect demand through mining equipment. And of course, we saw in the numbers today mining
Equipment Sales<\/a> are still down year offer year for caterpillar. Just lots of head winds there. We seem to be at least getting towards the bottom of the cycle in mining equipment. Oh, really . I was going to ask. We ask every single quarter what is the outlook on mining. When does the pain stop . You see a bottom, light at the end of the tunnel . Its down 20 again this year. That was a concern for us coming into the year. We are almost at a point where they are selling no new equipment and dependent only on after market. That is a function of activities. As long as the
Global Economy<\/a> is growing at any level, then mining activity is likely to continue, at least at some slow levels. We think we are getting close to the bottom at this point. Theres been chatter lately about succession plans of caterpillar since 2010. Hes 61 years old. Do you have any sense given the moves hes made in management who might take his spot eventually . It was interesting to see recently the changes they made within the organization. They have a lot of deep bench strength. They have been very good at moving senior manage miami around, giving them broad experience. Doug himself had lots of different experience before he took over as ceo. I think that is something that well take up with caterpillar in the course of the next 12 months or so. Ann duigman, always good to have you here. Cat helping the dow up 220 points right now. Stocks are in rally mode. Lets bring in
Andrew Berkeley<\/a> managing director head of institutional portfolio. The onus is on the bears to argue its going to be something more. You dont think we are going back more than that . We would buy the dip here. As you said, once you are down close to 10 , you have to make the case that you are going to have kind of down earnings, down economy in the foreseeable future to think about something more like a 15 to 20 correction. We dont see any of those variables shaping up. What we learned today, the euro zone
Manufacturing Survey<\/a> data looking better. Slow recovery, but no rollover. If thats true, what was the short term liquidity episode last week all about . The
Federal Reserve<\/a> as well as ecb. The
Federal Reserve<\/a> has put a sedative to the market with qe and low
Interest Rate<\/a> environment. When they start to move in the other direction, creates obvious volatility. General concern about eflation. That created a volatility. General
Inflation Expectations<\/a> have been dropping here in the
United States<\/a> which created that volatility. We believe earnings are robust as well as the general overall economy in the
United States<\/a> will be grown roughly over 3 in the coming year. Could you see a 5 , 10 direction because of the
Federal Reserve<\/a> paring back . Of course you can. We are expecting higher highs and higher lows in the coming months into the coming years. Coming through the summer, a lot of analysts were on the network suggesting you could buy big quality blue chips. That was the thing to buy. Yet this earnings season is littered with companies that have disappointed and stock prices have not done well. Coke, ibm, procter and gamble, cisco, at t today. Are those just anecdotal . Does there come a point you say there are big juggernauts that cant turn that are unable to cut it. Are not places to invest . We think the macroenvironment is defined by stronger fundamentals. That brings you to consumer and domesticallyfocused companies. Not global, industrial kind of large cap overseas revenues. What you want to look at is smaller retailers, smaller financial plays. Like southwest which reported this morning. That has been the defining theme, stronger dollar, weaker oil prices. Can you explain this relationship between the price of oil and s p 500 . The fact they seem to be increasingly correlated with oil as a leader. You would think
Lower Oil Prices<\/a> is better for our domestic economy and should lead stocks higher. Eventually it will. It will help with discretionary income. It does bode well over the long run. The general sense is oil prices have been falling out of bed because global activity or
Global Growth<\/a> has been decelerating. Perhaps not here in the
United States<\/a>, but on the emerging market side, ie, china as well as the euro zone. The euro zones economy is really struggling. That has been one of the reasons why oil has pared back in the short run. Also, u. S. Dollar strength does have a major impact on oil crisis. Thats why you have oil in the 80s, not above 100 per barrel at this point. Final point. Even though you are relatively bullish, we are going to need a stronger stomach, right . Well have more tripledigit moves and more 1 moves . Yeah. One of the big things we learned last week, what is the feds resolve when we see volatility. Are they going to be hawkish when the data starts to improve if volatility is there. What we learned last week, they dont have a strong stomach. They are quick to do an aboutface and say wait a minute. We are not going to be as tight as quick as possible. I think the volatility is going to be there. I think the fed is going to stay on hold longer than they suggest. I completely agree with him. Absolutely agree. Thank you. Good to see both of you. Dow up 235. Record profits, following fuel costs pushing
Airline Stocks<\/a>. Dont expect relief when it comes to ticket prices. Welcome back to squawk on the street. Cabellas lowered its full year profit guidance. As a result, that stock is down by about 9 on the trade for the year. The stock is down more than 20 . Back to you. Thank you, tom. A big day for the u. S. Airlines as falling fuel prices and strong holiday bookings boost
Third Quarter<\/a> profits and
Fourth Quarter<\/a> outlooks. American, southwest, united, continental, jetblue and alaska reporting earnings before the bell. United continental which lagged its largest rivals had a
Strong Quarter<\/a> as profits doubled. Phil lebeau joins us live from chicago with details. Busy day for you. You like that . They report the biggest growth and see the stock move lower. These were impressive numbers. Not a huge surprise begin that weve seen strong bookings and we expected the airlines to earn strong profits in the
Third Quarter<\/a>. Start with
United Continental<\/a>. 2. 75 a share, seven cents better than estimates. That was an increase of 70 compared to
Third Quarter<\/a> last year. American, 1. 66 a share. That beat the street by 3 cents. Alaska, a huge number today. 1. 47 a share. Beat the street by 5 cents. Q3 earnings compared to the same quarter last year up 31 . Then there is southwest. Southwest 55 cents a share beating the street by 2 cents. Earlier today we had a chance to talk with ceo gary kelly. He said right now when you combine
Strong Demand<\/a> along with falling jet fuel prices, its a good time to be in their business. The economy has been more stable. Energy prices very stable for really close to the last two years until the recent drops. Then travel demand has been very strong. When you look at the
Airline Stocks<\/a> today, with the exception of united, which is trading lower, all the
Airline Stocks<\/a> are getting a bit of a bounce following better than expected earnings reports. The interesting thing is a couple of weeks ago everyone said watch this, ebola is going to kill these stocks. It did have an impact, but we are starting to see that recovery as people realize the
Fourth Quarter<\/a> should be fairly strong for the airlines. Back to you. You know, the bigger issue here, you know better than i do, phenomenal performance over the last three years. Delta trebled, usairway up about 400 . The question for serious investors, where are we on the return on invested capital . That focus on running older fleets in order to maximize what shareholders get in return. Deutsche bank does great work on this. My question would be how much further can we run . If southwest has a 19 return, alaska at 17 and united at 12 . Some of those return on equity are already very high. They are. I asked this question to a few analysts and a few in the industry. They believe they can get that return on capital they believe they can get it higher than where it is right now. Its hard to predict where it ends, but the expectation is that they still have room to run here. Phil, thank you very much. Up next, no

Tobacco Company<\/a> instituting a new rule next year. Reynolds american, making of camel cigarettes is adopting a no smoking policies. Use the of cigarettes, cigars or pipes will not be allowed at desks,
Conference Rooms<\/a> or on elevators. The company will still allow the use of smokeless tobacco products. Their comment, we are better aligning our tobacco use policies with the realities of what youre seeing in society today. How ironic is that . They are not fighting it. Its interesting to see. I was just looking back. Reynolds american had a
Strong Quarter<\/a>. Not because of cigarette volume. They are raising prices. They are figuring out how to work around these trends. They are clearly not denying the fact people arent smoking indoors any more. I would love to know what their insurance is. If you have 4 5 not smoking and 1 5 smoking in the office.

Straight ahead, rising suv and truck sales in north america pushing gm stock higher today despite problems across the pond. Well talk to gms former vice chairman about the results and what the future holds for the company. Twhat do i do . You need to catch the 4 10 huh . The
Equipment Tracking<\/a> system will get you to the loading dock. There should be a truck leaving now. I got it. Now jump off the bridge. What . In 3. 2. 1. Are you kidding me . Go. Right on time. Right now, over 20,000 trains are running reliably. We call that predictable. Thrillingly predictable. Its in this spirit that ingu u. S. Is becoming a new kind of company. One that helps you think differently about whats ahead, and whats possible when you get things organized. Ing u. S. Is now voya. Changing the way you think of retirement. Welcome back to squawk on the street. Im jacqui deangeles reporting from the nymex. We are waiting for the department of energy to release its weekly storage report from last week. Expectation is to get a build between 94 and 98 billion cubic feet. Its not triple digits but would be a very strong build. Actually traders are saying that should push these prices down. Does appear the number has come out. Im waiting for an update here. Prices right now rising on this. It does seem to be a little bit bullish at this point. I do want to point out a couple of things. We have seen temperatures more on the mild side. Of course, demand right now not so strong as we are heading into the winter months. The
Natural Gas Industry<\/a> has refilled 2. 5 trillion cubic feet since the march low. That was an 11year low. Traders are feeling like we are nicely stocks as we go in. Eugene, is that 94 . Whats the number . I dont know. We are waiting for the number. Bullish on prices, but not updated yet. The number last week was 94 billion cubic feet. Im not sure what the holdup is here. Traders dont know exactly whats happening. Hopefully well have it for you, simon. We are actually flashing the gas increased by 94. Im not sure if thats last weeks data. I think it seems to be the same right now. Good number for nat gas. Price is higher right now. All this is good for consumers. You are watching gas prices come down. With nat gas at 3. 66, it will be a good winter. Thank you very much. Despite the clouds of recalls hanging over
General Motors<\/a>, gm posted better than expected earnings for the
Third Quarter<\/a>. Joining us is vice chairman of
General Motors<\/a>, author of icons and idiots bob lutz. What did you think of the results . Its kind of what i expected. Gm has strong sales of the new large pickups and sport utilities. Business in china is doing exceptionally well. Europe is still in a loss, but on track for profitability. Unlike some companies, the company is not suffering as much in the russian market. If you look at the product lineup and the streamline cost base, there is no reason not to assume really good earnings from
General Motors<\/a>. The issue obviously for most people watching is the fact that the stock is down so heavily. It lost 1 4 of it value still yeartodate. Kyle bass was on the show yesterday. His hedge fund had huge losses because of gm. I think management is doing a great job. Look at the valuation of this company. Its worth 28 billion today in enterprise value. Theyll do 16. 5 billion ebitda next year. Theyll do 6 billion in
Free Cash Flow<\/a>. Its a 20
Free Cash Flow<\/a> yield. I guess the question is whether they what is it now . 30 million recalls behind them and 29 days . What is your view how berra is dealing with that and moving on . I think she dealt with it extremely well. Now its just a question of execution. If you look at recent history in the automobile business, everybody is issuing recalls for everything. I dont think the recalls are hurting the company one bit. On the contrary, with all of these people being called back to gm dealerships, i think its very good for sales. Can you get them to buy another one . No. What happens is the owners of these old cobalts would normally never visit
General Motors<\/a> dealership but because of the recall they have to. When in the dealership, the sales people will say why bother letting us fix it . We can put you into a new cruz for so and so many hundred a month and a lot of people will do it. Its really good for the business. You get the foot traffic. Gas prices, fouryear seasonal low. Can they charge whatever they want for the big fat suvs . I dont think the big suvs are that sensitive to gas prices. They are usually people who are in an income bracket where they are relatively insensitive to it. There is no question that the low fuel prices are currently making it more difficult to sell hybrids or semi electrified vehicles because they cost more. At these fuel prices people would pass on it. However, they have to continue to be made to satisfy federal fuel economy regulations. I was looking at some of the earnings headlines from the call today. The ceo was talking about how
General Motors<\/a> is going to keep a close eye on used cars. What we saw yesterday in the inflation data is that used car prices were negative. Does that hurt new cars that people can just get a bargain on used cars . Does that hurt demand for newer cars at higher prices . There is only one market. A used car is nothing but a new car thats been driven and vice versa. If more people go buy used cars, the used car prices automatically rise and the difference to trade to new cars becomes lower. Its all one market. Generally short term, a weak used car market is not favorable because it increases the difference to trade for people who want a new car. Well leave it there. Good to see you, sir. Thank you very much. When we come back, chairman and ceo of

Third Quarter<\/a> profits. This as it holds 7 more freight and increased its rates, as well. Kansas city southern, all the majors in the
United States<\/a> moving higher. It wasnt this time on consolidation talks. That lifted them last week. Lets go to rick santelli. Id like to welcome charles biedermann. Its thursday and charles day. Thanks for taking the time today. Good to be with you. Are you bearish or bullish . We are bullish. As long as shares keep shrinking, we are bullish. Tell us about float shrink. Companies are reducing the share count in aggregate. Mostly though by cash takeovers of public companies. The share count itself is shrinking, not as much. If you add in cash takeovers of
Public Company<\/a> which is truly, totally reduces the supply of stock in those instances, you have a lot more money chasing fewer shares, higher stock prices. Even though you didnt ask, but the economy is slowing. So if you had to rate economic fundamentals, float shrink or general rised flows, what order would you put them in in terms of how their bullishness is affecting the equity markets . Float shrink has been running the double, triple, whatever we had in the inflation in equity prices as a result of float shrink has been enormous even though the economy is barely moving. General accepted accounting principles. You did a piece that really surprised me. If i call a good accountant and i give him the books of the u. S. Government and ask him to do a forensics, whats his answer and what is he going to discover that will surprise me . If he actually did the work that the net is 84 trillion, net present value of future government liabilities is 84 trillion. If u. S. Were a
Public Company<\/a>, it would have to put 84 trillion on the liability side. So add 16 trillion in existing debt to 84 is 100 trillion. Net worth of the
United States<\/a> is 81. 5 trillion according to the z1 from the
Federal Reserve<\/a>. So the u. S. Is broke. That really means that all the people who think they are going to get medicare, social security, government pensions in the future, impossible. Wont happen. Either the government doesnt know its broke or doesnt want to tell us. I really like the chart. When did all this seem to change . The chart shows the lines crossing in the last 20 seconds tell us why they crossed that particular time and havent crossed back to normal . Under george bush we turned negative. Under clinton we were positive p. Bush decided to fight several wars and open up the medicare spigot. All kinds of stuff. Between bush and obama, were broke. Thats not normally where i would like to leave a great interview. We need to ponder that next time. Thank you. Lets go back to simon, shaken but not stirred hobbs. Thank you for that merry note.

Third Quarter<\/a> earnings. Stock is currently up by about 2. 5 . A good year for the beverage maker. Stock is up 40 this year. Canada is reeling after a gunman opened fire wednesday morning killing a soldier and walking into the halls of parliament and firing up to 50 shots there. Sara is live in ottowa with the latest for us. Reporter good to see you. Just about an hour ago a solemn and somber moment at the
National War Memorial<\/a> as members of parliament and the
Prime Minister<\/a> held a moment of silence for the soldier killed in yesterdays attack. Also laying a wreath at the base of the memorial singing o canada. This is a nation coming to grips in an act of violence carried out by what the
Prime Minister<\/a> called a terrorist. Today a shaken public is working to prove that true going back to work amid heavy police presence. That including parliament, which is back in session this morning. Sergeant at arms
Kevin Vickers<\/a> greeted with a standing ovation as he entered the room today. Vickers is credited with running into an office to grab a gun and shooting and killing the gunman before he could wound or kill anyone else. Vickers is a retired
Royal Canadian<\/a> mounted police officer, who before yesterday served a largely ceremonial role, but today of course is being hailed as a hero. Back to you guys. Thank you very much. The view there from canada. Lets look where we are on the markets. The snapback continues with a powerful rally this morning across the board. Joining us is
Bmo Private Bank<\/a> ceo and investor jack ablin. Nice to have you on. Thanks, simon. It seems almost schizophrenic where we are this week from the heavy falls on big volumes last week. What has changed . Is it just ebola isnt airborne . I think thats part of it. Beyond that, good fundamental news. The fact is that caterpillar had great results. We had great manufacturing results from europe. A lot of concerns about a global slowdown dissipating, too. A lot of people will say in addition to what you factored in there its also about central banks. The ecb might do more but there is this suggestion that hangs in the air the fed could extend qe. If they dont do that at the beginning of next week, what happens . Thats what ive been saying is the
Federal Reserve<\/a> has been the big brother on the playground allowing the rest of us to be more emboldened than we ordinarily might be. And the end of qe does represent sort of a graduation, if you will with big brother leaving. Well have to see what happens. All in all, id say weve got good fundamentals news on the economic side and of course earnings. Caterpillar had good results. If we can manage to get through october which has been fraught with difficulty, the bullish case revolves around buybacks resuming in november and december. Where a quarter typically take place. You get get that and you alt a nice seasonal effect. If you look at midterm, generally they have been greeted with ugly octobers but then optimistic novembers and decembers once the elections are determined. So, you know, you do get a little seasonal effect of buybacks and of course maybe, you know, a political effect from the election. And just quickly on the fed here again jack since it does seem to be driving a lot of a. We have another meeting next week. Does it matter that qe is ending . As long as we look at the
Interest Rate<\/a>s and they are at the lower mentality which is what weve married, then the equity market has legs to go further. I think so sarah. I wrote a piece earlier this week that said the fed doesnt get it. The simple fact is that this o whole mechanism of lowering rates and enticing people to borrow really didnt work this time around. So im not sure that staying around, hanging around, you know, expending paper is really going to have much effect anyway. I agree. I think the fed is going to be sitting on the side lines probably throughout 2015. Rates will say relatively low. And if we continue to get upside on the economy and fundamental i think were in fine shape. That said, what do you think wins next . What part of the market will do best . What should you not be in . Caller if you look at the kind of things the markets are worried about. These were reeds
Master Limited<\/a> partnerships and emerging market stocks of those three the emerging markets are cheap. The other two not so cheap. I think i merging gets the legs they havent had for the last couple years as the developed world really stays come accommo for longer than investors feared. Jack thank you. Lets send to it jon fortt with a look at whats coming up next on squawk alley. Well be talking markets with a major indices up about 1. 5 . Some stocks going in different directions.

In the middle of this giant rally here on wall strut there are plenty of individual names to talk about. Heavy earnings. Under armor reported early, actually has turned around on the day and higher almost 1 . It was lower on earnings even though profit came in better than expected. And the
Company Raised<\/a> guidance as it continues to sell its apparel a nike alternative. Apparel and footwear. Footwear was very strong. Apparel came in a bit light. So the whisper number was higher the expectations were higher. So many expectations built into this stock its been one of the best performers. Jim cramer also has been a fan and they deliver. They have been beating expectation physician the last year. Just for the last
Royal Caribbean<\/a> has had a better year. Theyre on later. Lets talk apple. Up 2 . The
Company Share<\/a> performance this year up 30 so far. And the results they came through with on monday have more than met where the market have positioned itself. The question now where do we go in the
Fourth Quarter<\/a>. A lot have been looking at the iphone numbers. To off set the weaker growth in ipads. As a whole the nasdaq is in the lead in terms of percentage terms in the rally. The nasdaq up 1. 7ish percent. What a reversal from last week. Its the dow that really captures a lot of peoples imaginations with the strong earnings from the bell weathers. Be it 3 m or caterpillar. Thats cheered a lot of people. Earnings season is coming through slightly better than expectations. It is. About 35 of
Companies Report<\/a>ing so far. And if you take a blended average, up 7 from last quarter. We still have a lot left. And after the bell as to amazon is going to be one of the standouts. Everybody always looks to see whether the
Revenue Growth<\/a> is there because profits not so much. Im still down about a third on the year overall. Here we go. As if by magic. Im completely wrong. Over a year it just about 3 . Well see tonight. And i also want to point out with the dow relief, you mentioned had blue chips and stronger position because of the earnings, a little reversal from what we saw with coke coal and mcdonalds and at t on disappointing profit numbers. Big companies it is very difficult to steer in the direction of innovation or change. Millennial is going to be the key. Or just change. Just change. Or millennial.

We know its been a rough month so far so we are in full on rally mode. All major indices higher by about 1 . Shares of apple opened at a new all time high. 104. 15. Up about 30 this year. And on the flipside shares of yelp getting slammed. The worst day ever for that name in fact. Even though revenue guidance up 50 percent year on year not exactly what analysts have looked for. Whether a weird bifurcation to responses to some various names. In the case of yelp its interesting given the trouble that angies list is going through also. The local market. John steinberg who we have here often is talking about how hard that is to crack. Then on apple in my first full day of messing around with the ipad air 2 challenge.
