stanley stock is up. >> they're happy. this has been going on since financial crisis. banks have been pushed three or five years ago to pay employees in more deferred stock. it is not just this year. gains have been building up since the financial crisis. if you have all of the stock, you're much happier. >> thank you very much. we are on the markets again in just 30 minutes. smart" smart -- street starts now. >> after the best annual game since 1997, stocks close at a loss. welcome to the most important hour of the session. we are scouring every market. house.yman is in the
3:01 pm
good to have you here. >> good to be here. not so unusual on the first trading day of the year that you would have a reversal of some of the trends you saw last year. overall stocks were up and now they are down. individual stocks did very poorly last you and are up today. >> that is right. tried to play the counter trade. time for a big picture. to tell you what is happening right now, we will start with the s&p 500. down about one percent. we were up six percent in 2013. no one wanted to sell them. today, fine. we put a little bit of the profitability in our park it -- pocket. this is a surprise. right now, the yield is 298, about two-yearm high. that is in spite of that her data. manufacturing, construction, and jobs, all better. it may be the same sort of thing. you take on's down enough and
3:02 pm
people will buy them. that in turn pushes the yield down. you take hold down far enough and eventually people will buy it. it had the worst year in 12 years. today, people are buying it. everything is running countertrend. >> speaking of which, i will stick with the gold theme and thought about the worst performer in the s&p 500. newmont mining was the worst performer last year. it is rebounding today. the counterof stocks we're are talking about. martha stewart is also on the list. reaching a settlement with macy's over a dispute involving selling martha stewart and merchandise.
3:03 pm
finally, technology is a big laggard today. wells fargo set the margin is alreadytory priced into the stock. >> the idea of -- ideal iphone 5. i cracked the screen of the indestructible glass. to the applenight store. we go on now to the big story. the first deal of 2014. he has finally reached an agreement with the health care trust. he will ride the 42% share of chrysler fiat does not already own. at 4.3nsaction is valued billion dollars and it means no ipo. it ends the cat -- the cat and mouse game. i tell you what, let's bring in our auto pros. caldwell is a senior analyst, and, our very own matt
3:04 pm
miller, mr. carr guy himself. let's talk about the economics of this thing. chrysler is ironically putting up some of the money. of, rememberd me the headline a couple of weeks ago? is a little different, because the whole point of this, as you know, is so that fiat can get access to the $12 billion cash pile at chrysler. they will use some of it to do the deal. fiat is paying $1.75 billion to the autoworkers trust and the rest of the money will come from chrysler. chrysler will pay a lump sum and -- some three special dividend and $700 million in four annual installments between now and 2018. this is a masterstroke. -- somebody ined graphics loves the dodge viper.
3:05 pm
we have been showing me that showing this. everyone knew sergio would get this done before the ipo actually happened. that was a negotiating tactic. the fact he would get a better deal than most deaths than most analysts thought, he was going for four. the trust wanted six. they say that because they say they want more than they would get as a bargaining tactic. 4.35. 700 of that is going out over four years. really stretching it out and getting chrysler to foot the bill for the lion's share. clear what chrysler brings. what does fiat bring to chrysler? >> fiat brought to chrysler the opportunity to exist. obama and his car team was trying to decide whether or not
3:06 pm
to keep chrysler. was it important enough to the u.s. economy to bailout this company e -- company? they decided it was but they needed a competent seat -- cdo. fiat could bring small technology that would help chrysler. one of the things they had to do to get five percent of the andrship was produce a car make that in the u.s.. they build out a small car lineup. that someally excited of the opportunities going forward to use alpha technology and dodge vehicles and vice maserati. the there is opportunity for them. >> think about what you just said. building a maserati on a chrysler jeep platform.
3:07 pm
some would say that is sacrilegious and others would say it is in. sacrilegious in the first place is also a testament to .hat a great job she cherokee is a great car. it is really a great that form. if maserati is going to go out and build a giant station wagon for moms, they might as well do it on a station wagon. >> what does this ultimately means for consumers, starting with incidents in the u.s. and running conversation? it is good for consumers in the united states. what got chrysler in the was that the market shifted and they were not prepared to have smaller cars. that has changed.
3:08 pm
quicker toould come market. there is more to draw from. broad, that story heats up in europe as well. they've a smaller suv. chrysler has colonies on. it is a winning record consumers out there. >> we talked about some of the innovations were cross-platform opportunities. any others you are looking forward to? >> the skies the limit. is becoming a lot more accessible for people. people like the brand names. they like the italians ran. having that to draw from will help chrysler. bit limiting in the u.s.. >> if you will say that, you have to say maserati will build a car on a chrysler platform.
3:09 pm
>> they paid $36 billion in the 1990's. 40% of chrysler is valued at 4.5. it is really only worth $10 billion. >> one of the things jamie brought up earlier which is an amazing thing, sergio is going to invest over $12 billion in beefing up his italian manufacturing capacity. is buying fewer cars than it has had in the case, and -- ybody else we get this beauty. , and it only rival cost $50,000, a carbon fiber tub. it is incredible. like almost makes me feel
3:10 pm
he is sounding like a modern-day carpet bag he is basically buying chrysler on the cheek. of the take the cash out u.s. and invest into fiat, which is losing money. what is your take? >> he is a smart dealmaker. he turned them around and then got into chrysler and turned it around. money, that has scary echoes for chrysler. bought chrysler, chrysler had a lot of cash. that was used with several other deals. got some of the cash. that is a concern. if you look at what marchionne is doing, he is trying to build a global automaker. two thirds or halfway there. footprint in south america. all of those jobs.
3:11 pm
let's not forget about the fact there are a lot of men and women working for chrysler in detroit. he has championed the city of detroit. ,e has partnerships to people all these people. >> he is taking the money out now. >> they would have no jobs otherwise. >> i'm curious. the fact we are now seeing this deal instead of an ipo, is there risk chrysler will lose some of the talent making some positive changes their? -- there? , chrysler wass worth more if it is all integrated than a standalone hybrid company. the story with chrysler is you make a ton of money when times of good and are on the brink of death when times are bad. in theory, they need to be part of a -- an organization. if they could be in a larger
3:12 pm
group, maybe they could be large enough to make it through. that has always been the thinking with chrysler. >> thank you for joining us from detroit. matt miller reindeer. jessica, what a pleasure to have a woman on the show talking cars. great stuff. thank you. >> hopefully we will hear from a woman much more often talking about cars. coming up, while you were sleeping, corporate america woke up. adam explains. drone on the search for sharks. we will take you inside. ♪

3:16 pm
>> corporate america woke up. time for insight and action. easy to just not see this because it happened last week. in the middle of the vacation week. this is a deal. capital goods orders, aircraft and nondefense, capital rose 4.5%. spending it is the best again we have had in the past six months. .t has reversed a series they started to spend money again. month over month gains. look at this. capital goods orders were the highest they have been in a long time. sawre above the peak we before the crisis began. this is a big deal, corporate america spending more money.
3:17 pm
spending returns to corporate america, so do profits. especially at the industrials. we are showing data crunched out by the bloomberg industries team. you can see industrials gross thein is approaching highest it has ever been. as all of these other countries start ordering machines from industrial companies, industrial companies are making a lot of money. we looked at the machinery makers within the s&p 1500. there are about 50. we found companies growing earnings the most this year that also are majority rated. here they are. industries, energy, flowserve, dover, and wag tech. these are the earnings growth numbers i am showing you. the point is corporate america is spending money again.

as it spends money on equipment, these are the types of companies that benefit. there is growth. longer is in no recovery. it is now an out right expansion. he is the cofounder of an investment group, and his researches some of the most widely read on the street. he says for two years he has been telling clients to focus on the u.s. and this year is no different. welcome back. us.k you for joining >> as long as you read it, that is all that matters. >> it is good stuff. i read it as well. capital goods numbers, spending is coming back. i know you are also looking at jobs as a reason for optimism. >> right. as we head for new highs, the jobs market, people have complained it has not been a robust recovery in jobs. time heals all wounds. the pace of job creation we have new high in non-

foreign payrolls this july. even on that front, once we start new highs, you are getting in and people start feeling better about themselves. >> talk about -- talk us through this. is a big deal. explain to viewers how to interpret this chart. >> we are showing the peak in eachntage decline ahead of recession. the line shows the peak -- >> in other words, it has taken a long time, much longer. >>) we don't -- dug a deeper hole. it has been slow going. but it is going. we are seeing more economic indicators showing positive momentum in the last month and we have in over the prior year. the number of better than expected indicators. indicators are beating estimates
3:20 pm
more so than they have been in the last six months. it is an encouraging thing. the timing of the fed to taper their was good timing. up, what we are going to be worried about is will the fed have to move up its timeline to pull back tapering more and maybe even hike rates. no one is even to death thinking --ut that but come 2015, >> ben bernanke did say in his last conference that we will the 6.5%s lower than threshold on unemployment. if we start to connect the dots does the unemployment accelerate, if employment accelerates, so unemployment might theer to six, fed raise rates sooner? >> i do not think in 2014 that is even on the cards. going into 2015, we will have to talk about that. gdp, we have had three quarters in this recovery where gdp grew
3:21 pm
faster than the average for that point in recovery. two of them were in the last three quarters. six months ago, known was talking about the growth picking up. people were still worried about it erie it the fed may say this and economists may say that. often times, we find ourselves looking and the expectations do not normally pan out. >> we tend to see rates move higher and you can see the dollar moved higher also. it has already been recovering. you are looking at the correlation between that and stocks. >> yes. an improved u.s. economy translates into a stronger dollar. that is great for u.s. equities. this chart here, we are showing the u.s. dollar index compared to the relative strength of the s&p versus the rest of the world . >> weren't the gains this year pretty much pricing in the outlook? when you see 29% gain in the s&p 500, it is because people think, at least in part because things
3:22 pm
are starting to improve. >> things are starting to improve their coming into 2013, valuations, that was our one key , that valuations were very to historical norms especially for an economy that was recovering. we have seen multiple expansions. but we need to see now is the market is valued at the end of the year. we will see the improved economy and earnings picking up. we still think this year will become -- last year was more multiple expansion versus earnings growth. it was probably about 2-1. equalear, we will see an earnings growth. with us.e glad to be here. >> coming up, a trip -- a drone that tracks sharks. ♪

-- >> colorado went --pot yesterday to sell recreational marijuana. 600 million dollars in sales and 60 million in tax revenue. where will the money go? met other joins us to talk about this very issue. tax proceeds go?
3:31 pm
>> it is fairly complicated. willsale marijuana sales be taxed at 15%. since most of the vendors grow their own weed, they are getting taxed only at the retail level. a 10% tax. money, and the conservative estimates have it at $67 million for the year, 85% goes to the state level and 15% goes to the local. getting in the leads a little bit. the bottom line is it will be split up between going to help build schools, ironically, because most duties get their weed there. if that is why, it is circular and self fulfilling. >> the new york times had a story yesterday and said one of the big concerns was keeping the adult buyers of marijuana, keeping that marijuana from getting into the hands of
3:32 pm
teenagers, and i always wondered where 16-year-old dudes get hot air they had to i from teenagers. it will now go the other way around. schoolswill be building or investing in schools. building more infrastructure. the towns that have dispensaries are ready because they have had medical marijuana for a long time. no potholes. so to speak. they have invested so well in the infrastructure. it is interesting. the jobs front is really interesting. 6000 people already employed at dispensaries. in colorado. they get about 120 applications a week because this is the licensing for people to work in these stores. they expect that to go up to about 200. >> to that point, it is only in several counties in this state so far. >> it could be anywhere in this state, but certain towns or counties have opted out, just from ohio and i live in a dry town, they just do
3:33 pm
not sell liquor. this is the case with colorado. he will have dry towns and counties. it in a be able to get lot of places. it is mostly around denver. .50 retail potshots will open about three quarters of those were in denver. imagine 50 people applied for licenses, but only 24 had gotten all of their paperwork in in time for yesterday. maybe they were too high. >> maybe it is a little complicated area >> we are joking about this, but how much red tape? >> it does not really look that complicated. would expect and i to have in a free country where you should be able to do whatever you want as long as you're not harming anybody else, but let's deal with it. it is not really that way in this country. a lot of red tape and government involvement. wouldnot as much as you
3:34 pm
expect for something of this magnitude. we are at the beginning of the end of prohibition on marijuana. washington state is next. you have to expect more progressive states like california to start falling in the future. when other states see the amount -- >> california split into six. marijuana is sold in a number of other states. >> 20. for medicinal purposes, which, a lot of people, i feel like, probably think they have a legitimate need for marijuana. >> because it helps with pain. are the profit margins on the legal marijuana? despite it being called a weed, isn't it pretty label and -- labor-intensive to grow? >> yes. i've seen in colorado are very high-tech. they are really high on energy use. .hey are mostly indoor

>> 2013 was quite a year for samsung.
3:40 pm
it hit the highest quarterly learning -- earnings ever hear its stock fell for the first time in five years as investors worry, maybe all the other stuff was as good as it is. samsung's chairman will have none of it. he addressed concerns saying we have to change again. we must have a bigger push for innovations, including bigger structure, so we can lead industry transparent with earnings coming out next week, is now the time to bet on samsung's strategy shift? let's ask our panel. emily chang with a story and paul our closer with a trend. stocks dropped another five percent today on his comments. what is going on? >> when we look at samsung, we have to look at the picture. the company does a lot of things. everything from refrigerators to ceiling fans to smartphones. what the chairman said today is he talked about what samsung does not do well yet. that is software. he encouraged people to think about how samsung could move forward beyond hardware.
3:41 pm
they have televideo operating istems, which analysts say mediocre. a smart phone operating system. analysts again say that is mediocre. they really rely mostly on android. that is on google as well. the focus will be, how can they control the end to end experience like apple does? hardware and software? google does it. they have android. microsoft does it. they brought nokia. samsung needs to think about how they cannot just control the hardware, which they're doing incredibly well in, but the software as well. the big question is, can samsung innovate in software in a way that is meaningful, in a way that is valuable, in a way that is quality, given it is a company that does so many other things? another thing we should look at with samsung this year is computing. they have got the galaxy gear smart watch. it has not unwell yet. there is talk samsung could be getting into a google glass product.
3:42 pm
frontier may well be cars. apple ios made be compatible with a number of different automakers. the screen on your dashboard is getting bigger and bigger. apple and google might want to be there. they may be looking at potential innovations in the mobile category as well. >> as we listen to emily, sam some kind of sounds like apple. it has got to keep creating the next best things and has got to be in front of consumers on the outside and inside. >> the comparison to apple is apt. ever andare the best the stock drops. emily is right on. they need to look at markets where they can expand. they are selling millions and millions of handsets. the smartphone is becoming commoditized. they need to look at what is the next a thing. will it be cars? will it be wearables? will it be robotics? these are areas where a lot of competitors are investing for a long time. in addition to software, they need to be looking at services.
3:43 pm
other than their security platform, they are not doing a lot with clout and security. that is something that could keep people in their ecosystem. big contracts are places where they could potentially make a lot of money. how need to be looking at to build out the ecosystem going forward and not just doing the status quo. >> if we look at just smartphones, that is the easiest part. the s-4, we could all talk about and appreciate that. if you look at market share from of 2012 versuser the third quarter of this past -- samsung game 4/10 of one what are they doing wrong? why they not getting more? >> the market is starting to commoditize, especially in the west.
3:44 pm
it is harder for them to compete and get new users when you do not have as many new users coming into the channel. they need to start going more low-end if they want to grow numbers and go after china and other asian markets where they have strong foothold. i think software is one of the reallyngs were they are well known for android but that is a google controlled ecosystem. they need to start doing things that can differentiate themselves above and beyond. see you nodding. what are you thinking? >> the story will not be about apple. it will be about other non-apple players nothing at samsung's heels. samsung is the global leader in smart phones. they are doing a lot of things well. some people say they maybe deserve a little more love. here in the u.s.. it will be about companies like microsoft, which has not really come into its own in the smartphone space yet.
3:45 pm
microsoft is looking pretty good. on the other hand, samsung has a lot of things working in its favor. it is the global leader. theymarkets like china, have a bigger screen. something apple has resisted to do. it seems like consumers are wanting more and more. to,ink it will come down can they create a better experience? that is not just hardware. that is with the operating system as well. a customize a lot of things with android. they have some features here and there. can they create an end to end experience consumers really wt to hold in their hands? >> a great point. what about an investor experience? when you look at the charts, what do you see? >> the last year has been rough for stocks. you see a bunch of lower highs in the stock. right here, here, and here. acceleration to the downside.
3:46 pm
today. an uptick in volume. want to see volume and stocks stabilize. from a longer-term perspective -- , hitu have got to turn off clear and drag the other time -- the other one down. >> first time doing this. the longer term expect -- perspective, the upper trend or mains in place for samsung. what you want to see in the next couple of days is for that to hold and the volume to stabilize. i think samsung could be a good opportunity in the year ahead. >> good deal. and emily chang of bloomberg west. we will be watching you later. one index could hit its

3:51 pm
that is above what anything -- anyone is expecting now. is 5.5%.ge target the maximum is 13% they are looking for. more important like, you now do the same analysis for the nasdaq. you see the average gain is about 26.3%. all but two years, you have seen a gain of at least 10% at some point in the year following the return. >> that is significant. if i start to see -- i think this through. up 26% on the nasdaq takes us veryto something important. >> yes. it takes you back to the above all-time highs of the nasdaq, which we thought we would never see those levels again. not to say we would necessarily definitely finish the year out there, but they history, based solely on history, that would take us to about 5200. >> we are up more than 20% this year. history says when you're up more than 20%, you typically get a

26% gain next year. you apply that and we are -- you are right. that was the all-time high. everyone thought that would never happen again and 2005 was . fluke >> you think that would take forever to do. just like death just like employment will take a new high, maybe we will see the nasdaq. fairness, it would take watcher years. but that is incredible the -- incredible. today.ou for joining us >> from urban dwellers to the people wearing crocs like matt miller, we have the top 10 stocks you need to know. the next hour, cannot remember the password to your 401(k)? or your twitter feed? do not sweat it. ibm says passwords will soon be a thing of the past. we will tell you why coming up. ♪
