cheryl: markets are moving into the green. what a day, this has been a very volatile the day. this is been a lot of uncertainty, a lot of back and forth. at one point microsoft overtaking apple as far as the largest company by market cap. anyway, s&p higher by almost 2 points, nasdaq is up by 17, and the dow is up by 36. remember, markets sold off right after we got december cpi. tomorrow we're going to get december ppi and earnings season is going to be kicking off in earnest. we've got jpmorgan, we've got wells fargo, bank of america finish not bank of america, citigroup. i'm going to go ahead and stop talking and send it over to my girlfriend, liz claman. you know, she's at ces, she's been having a great time. [laughter] there's the so many cool things happening there. liz: e yeah. you know, you're talking ppi, cpi, they want to see c3po,

like, right now. [laughter] right now, folks, the dow is at a record high. it needs to see a gain of 20 the points to close at a record. right now it is up 37 points, so you've got to stay tuned through this entire hour to see if that happens. plus, you've got to see this, we've got some amazing consumer technology here at ces 2024 including nimble. so what you with see on the screens, this is it is a live picture, the world's first smart if home nail salon. you see the hand going into the machine, and stick around to find out what happens. we are going to show you what happens when she pulls her hand out, and we'll explain how it all works. plus, we've got big interviews with lenovo and skyworks coming up, but we are seeing the may major averages punching into the green territory as we kick off the final hour of trade. investors accept that the slightly hotter than expected consumer inflation report which has also knocked around treasury

yields might be sending a message hay deponent want to hear, but they're kind of getting over it. s&p, you can see it, it is straddling the flat liefnlt s&p down 1 point, the nasdaq up 6 points. so let's get to the consumer price index. it rose 3.4% annually in december, higher than the expected 3.2% and above the 3.1% reported in november. right? if sticky inflation. november core cp pix, all right, so let's talk about core cp pix. it actually saw its first drop below 4% in nearly three years comparing it, coming in at at 3.9% compared to the previous month's 4%. so that's good news. coming down. but still a little too warm for comfort. federal reserve bank of richmond president if tom harkin, who will be a voting member later this month, told the virginia bankers' association today that any improvements on inflation are still pretty narrow, okay? incremental. and he said they're focused on

goods. what about food? i mean, we saw food, we saw shelter jumping pretty dramatically. and then cleveland fed's loretta mester, who becomes a voting member in a year, took it a step further, dousing the market's hopes of multiple chops to interest rates a little bit with a pack of ice in the face say, quote, march is probably too soon for a rate cut. but wall street still optimistic. fed funds futures showing a more than 60% chance of a rate cut come march. we shall see. not only do we get another inflation metric, as cheryl mentioned, with the producer price index tomorrow, but earnings season unofficially kicks off with the big banks friday. united health group, delta all reporting in the morning. we've got to show you live trading in bitcoin etf ifs and bitcoin. all right, it was in this hour yesterday that we were the first to report that the sec had finally aa proved all 11 spot bitcoin etf applications for

retail trade. right now the crypto unleashed on the world by anonymous if commuter programmer back in 2009 as the first digital currency is up about let's call it $1,000 -- or, no, 491, sorry, $492 to $46,808. but move that off the screen and behold, trade in the etfs. finish this is the nurse if day and the -- the first day and the first hour of trade for the ark 321 bitcoin etf, we've got van exdeny vaneck's, they're down. fidelity's down about 41%. you say -- 1%. you saw ark is down about 5. in the first 30 minutes of trading, all 11 of them saw a toehold of $1.2 billion in volume. wisdom tree, franklin, instress eco, six of those etfs trading on the c bow, and that's where we find scott bauer and live

with me on the floor of the las vegas convention center carnivore trading's dutch mast if ors. great to have you all. dutch masters. i'm going to call an audible here and go with you, scott. we're just wondering if bitcoin is up, why are so many of these fresh and brand new etfs down? what's going on? >> sure. so what happened was when these got launched this morning, bitcoin was already up, you know, a couple thousand bucks on the day or so. in fact, bitcoin hit a high of just over $49,000 today. so those first prints that we saw this morning for in the fidelity and the ark invest and all of these etfs, they were higher than they are now because we've seen the market sell off a little bit. bitcoin went from 49 down to let's call it, you know, 46,8 or close to 47 now. so that's why we're seeing, you know, a negative number, if you will, in these etfs. the bottom line is though especially the ones here at the

cboe, the fidelity one, the ark invest, the vaneck, they are trading with massive, massive volume with. the fidelity one has over 15 million in volume, the ark over 5 million if in volume. so, you know, the are resense at least on day one -- reception at least on day one here has been robust. i would expect that to continue. and i think the what's going to be very interesting is down the line and maybe not so far off in the future here, perhaps watch for options to be traded on some of these etfs. liz: options, okay. so as we watch all of that, let's bring in dutch masters here. dutch, i don't know, the tow is starting to wobble a little bit -- dow is starting to wobble a little bit, now it's up just 5 points. give me a sense of what the market really wants. we got the cpi number, it's not exactly a drop of dramatic proportions. the markets are like a toddler that wants a cookie, another one. is it going to get it it with the rate cut? >> you know, i think the market

is expecting that ate cut in march a little bit -- that rate cut, and i just don't think they're going to get it. i think we're going to have a little bit of sticky inflation, and i hope the market -- i mean, you see it shaking off these numbers right now. i just hope it can continue to do that. liz: and you look at treasuries, okay, treasury yields have been -- it's almost like a jump ball today, up, down, all around which really indicates nobody knows what's going to happen. that said, let's talk equities. that's your bailiwick. tell me what you're buying and selling right now. >> well, you know, we had a good couple of weeks at the beginning of the year, liz, with the bioit can stocks. and i see -- biotech stocks. i see a real shift back to the big workhorses, the big tech stock right now, and we're pretty excited about some of those stocks. we do like some heavy growth stocks. gct is one that had pulled back high from about 26 and change -- liz: that's gigacloud technology. >> that's right. which our resident genius,

trader dis, says that he thinks eventually that stock's going to be at $100, and it's at $20 today. liz: you've got some consumer names in there. >> oh, yeah. what finish we really like is the theme that if we are going to have a difficult environment from the economy going forward, saw -- that, you know, you have to have demand for your product. and we think that elf, which is in the beauty business, lululemon which, of course, women look at is and and say, hey -- and men now too -- can hey, that's my brand, i love that, they really don't have a problem with the pricing. so we like those. i know they're very expensive, right in. [laughter] liz: well, that's what you want. you want a company that has that moat of competitiveness where people will e pay for that particular product. scott bauer, give me a sense of the volatility, because right now it's almost nonexistent, and it continues to be so. how long does that last with the overall markets when we're flat on the dow at the moment but 20 points of gains, we're with at another record?

>> yeah, it's very sub doored -- subdued, liz. right behind me in the s&p 500 options pit here, if you look at the money implied for tomorrow, it is a little bit extended. that's because with we've got the ppi number coming out tomorrow, so it's about 12, 13%. but that plummets if you go out to next week and we do have a holiday on monday. that's down in single digits. that is very, very low in the spx. that correlates to what we're seeing in the vix now, the january future which expires next wednesday, it's trading right about 13. certainly not as a low as it has been, but the market is very complacent right now. you guys were talking about, dutch was talking about how, you know, the fed is probably not looking at the six moves that the market is anticipating. something has to converge together here, and i believe that we're going to see vol starting to tick opportunity right after the beginning of earnings season here as we get a little bit more uncertainty and

get closer no that march decision on whether we're really going to see interest rates come down at all. so i think vol has probably bottomed out here. you know, maybe we can see a tick or two let orer -- lower. i wouldn't be surprised to see both the vix and volatility in the spx start ticking up. liz: nasdaq has a lot of tech winners, dutch, and we know one of the big winners today, microsoft. it, for a hot minute, became -- it overtook apple as the largest company on planet earth. >> i know. liz: and then it toggled back to slightly below. what's your biggest position in tech? >> so our biggest right now is cyber, cybr, cyber ark a software, and it's, you know, it's cybersecurity software. liz: of course. >> another thing that we think that company look at as as inty and not not -- as a necessity, not a luxury. liz: and the federal government is spending a lot on that too. dutch is here with us in

vegas -- >> yes! liz: this is where carnivore is based. oh, what is this, ve loss raptor? [laughter] what the heck is that? >> we like our alligator boots. >> i am jealous of you guys, let me tell you. [laughter] liz: scott, dutch, wonderful to see you. thank you so very much. finish. >> thanks, liz. liz: all right. every single piece of the technology here needs a semiconduct, the tiny brains that run electronics. semiconductor. there are dozens and dozens of companies, the biggest to the smallest here. apple hit by three downgrades this month, but that's not worrying one designer that gets more than two-thirds of its business from the cooper e tee know who is us. we're going to talk to the ceo of skyworks solutions about how he's tuning his business frequency to a.i., autos, aerospace and more. lots of as. apple too, but, you know, he's got to expand. so we'll or hear about that.

tablet. all with artificial intend in the base and a qualcomm cpu. liz: we this time last year were talking about a chip shortage. i know qualcomm said it's over, i am sure you are not having problems sourcing your chips, but we've just had a story breaking on the show about tesla. tesla's sitting -- shutting down its giga factory in germany because of the shipping tankers in the red sea being attacked by the houthi rebels. are you seeing any delays starting from that hot zone? >> we aren't yet but, look, we ship five dices a second to 180 markets around the world. so we're able to navigate any sort of headwinds or complications across the globe to keep the business flowing. liz: the last thing, the mouse. we've just got to show you the mouse. this one goes a little bit low tech. it is a hand-powered mouse. tom's guy was loving this, tech

blackrock's new bitcoin spot etf, ticker symbol i-bit. listen, they have been moving all over the place but mostly down today, 11 different issuers were given the grown light to launch a spot bitcoin etf this is the retailer who doesn't have 46, 47, $48,000 to drop on one bitcoin, can get into the market to experience digital currency investing. some financial firms do not quantity you to do that. charlie gasparino is right here, right now with that story, charlie. >> liz, this is courtesy of my reporting from ellie tarik my producer. it is pretty good stuff. we've been talking about how bitcoin is being mainstreamed to the average investor through an etf that can be purchased through a financial advisor or directly from certain fund companies but it is not being mainstreamed to the extent we might have thought.

i mean this is interesting from ellie's reporting. vanguard, now, larry's number one. blackrock is number one with nine trillion dollars under management but blackrock, vanguard is number two is seven million under management. they will not offer the bitcoin etfs to their customers. this is a non-adviser company. you don't go to a financial adviser to buy vanguard tough, because a lot of stuff is index funds, etfs. you go directly to them. you will not be able to buy one. merrill lynch, those are brokers, merrill lynch brokers will not give you to access to the bitcoin etf as part of your portfolio. edward jones another big brokerage firm saying no. this is really interesting, liz. i, you know, listen, i'm sure

you can find, you can find somewhere to buy a bitcoin etf. it is not that hard. you can probably get it directly from blackrock. that is something we need to talk to larry about tomorrow but there are a number of people saying not so fast, you know, we're not total buyers buying in. that our clients, the retail clients, this isn't appropriate part of their investment mix. this will really get, meaning bitcoin and crypto, mainstreamed, liz, when generally financial advisers say this is your investment mix, this is a standard portfolio, 60% stocks, 30% bonds and 10% crypto. that's when it will be totally mainstreamed. based on what we're seeing now, that's not where we're at. good reporting by ellie, liz. back to you. liz: okay. charlie, it has gotten suddenly noisy here because they're

cheering on bitcoin trading. this is soccer. how cool is this? federation of international soccer associations has a drone soccer business. it is fascinating. it is like quidaag drones. like the "harry potter" game. you see at the end of the soccer stadium they have built. it is all in a cage. the actual balls, they're trying to get into the white doughnut hole and they're battling it out. only the striker, almost, almost. what is happening a vicious battle here. each player has their own drone and it is encased by this wire-shaped ball. one just went down. poor little guy. the keeper, sweeper, center forward on each team to try to prevent the other team's striker pro-- oh, nice move.

from -- here. as we look at it, it is huge in korea and asia. packed crowd here before -- oh, my goodness. we are getting close to a score here, let's see if it happens. three sets, three minutes each. really big -- children and 20,000 different teams exist right now in south korea and what they do is, they learn drone technology by using it as a game. it is really fascinating. this is one of the big attractions here at cs. they're battling it out. so fascinating to see but the american legion and veterans are part of this. they are trying to train kids to understand technology but make it enjoyable at the same time. this is fabulous. oh, yeah, very, very nice. all right, so as "the claman countdown" wraps it up its time here at ces we have

shown you all kinds of technology everything from smart glasses with tiny hearing aids embedded in them. we saw the connected cane, right? connected cane, absolutely fascinating and that cane has a light on it, a black light. elder tech, aging tech has been very, very big here. it is a huge money maker. our "countdown" closer has one name he says will keep your portfolio healthy because it comes from the health care sector. guidestone funds president with 19 1/2 billion dollars in assets under management. brandon, we're looking at this unbelievable technology involved in gaming but it is actually older gentlemen who are teaching a lot of people how to do it. you know, i think people undersell the elderly and we're all getting older. it is a huge money making option for many companies. tell me which company you're

looking at in the health care sector? >> thanks, liz. we're looking at united health right now. from a sector standpoint with you you set us up nicely. this we like united health for a couple of reasons. it is like in the well-behaved managed care industry. it can generally grow in line with the u.s. health care inflation. they just made a nice acquisition last year. optimum health takes up half of its profits overall. the company showed tremendous ability to manuever whatever is thrown at them with a regulatory standpoint. they can change their pricing model every 12 to 18 months. this is good stock value and in something we think is a great sector overall. liz: brandon, we talked so much about personal electronics here and of course communication is extraordinarily important. that cane is able to do what it

does, you can call in case of an emergency if you're an elder person who stumbled or has problems walking. it is enabled with at&t, communication, connectivity is very big. is there one name in that space that has room to run? >> certainly. communication services overall is a great place to be from a valuation standpoint this is the least-valued sector overall. even cheaper than real estate which is tremendous when you think about what has transinspired in real estate. in the space we like comcast here. one of the most diversified communication services companies. they have a lot of companies, comcast, nbc universal. they have interest in the wells fargo center where the fillies play. they have a ceo been on the helm 20 years. it allow these them to play in this business. think invested nine to $12 billion in the last decade

that boosted diversity and profitability. they sold their hulu stake to disney. when that closes that will be a 8 1/2 billion dollar accretion to the bottom line. it is an exciting space to be overall but we think comcast is a great play to be. liz: you bearish on anything, quick 20 seconds? are you bearish on anything? oh, bearish. overall what we're concerned about people are getting too excited fed rate cuts. they baked far too many, far too fast, for too early. we think fed rate cuts come toward the end of the year but not march and the pace people are expecting. >> brandon, thanks so much for joining us. we'll look at your picks. i don't know if insurers make money but i know the shareholders do. fascinating explosion of health tech. look at the dow jones
