6:30 am
send us your response. product disruptive tech on the market today. @bsurveillance. this is bloomberg adam johnson was hereby minutes ago and we will get the top headlines. >> the most happening word in the english language today. here is the top news, a western was attacked by syrian warplanes. at least 50 people were killed. serious trying to back the shiite government in the battle much ofthe rebels, but the country is conceded to insurgents and abacus want to defend the capital. a cease-fire in the ukraine appears to be just talk. pro-russian militants shot down a military helicopter and all nine servicemen aboard were killed. new sanctions by the west against russia may be delayed.

6:32 am
and housing recently a little bit elevated. >> housing is indeed elevated. jumped the sales most and 82 years, but demand remains at record lows and with rates near record lows. the president and ceo of miller-samuel, where is all this cash coming from? new-home sale numbers, i think the spike is more of an anomaly, -- this is a one-month blip. permits are down and i would like to think that housing, we are seeing more new construction, but i think that that is a little bit, we go a couple of months with that kind of growth. u.s. it on the coastal is foreign buyers, with about one third of the market is
6:33 am
investors coming in and looking for a way to park their money, especially on the redevelopment side. >> one of the other data points austin ande index, san francisco are correctly back to where they were in 2008. what do you make of those numbers? >> dallas and denver have exceeded their 2008 highs. 2006 highs. they are back but you have to remember the market with dallas, it did not fall very far and they have had a booming economy. the last time i was on, tom alluded to the legalization of marijuana having something to do with it. but it is interesting. boston also is about four percent off of its all-time high. the all-time high is an credit, that is not something that we necessarily
6:34 am
want to aspire to. sales, andnew-home this is a regression. those blurred lines down at the when you wake up in the morning, john miller, do you see new-home sales as a proxy that will get back to what, 2003 levels, 2006 levels, will they ever get back there? all of the above or one or three? >> i will take a different answer to that. now, new-home sales are about 10% of total transactions. historically business to be about 15%. i think that we don't normalize until we are at about 50% in terms of the volume that we are getting now. i think that this is jobs and credits. new household formation and simply, we are not making new houses because kids are living

6:36 am
million, i am0 just getting folks. the foreign import into the with cash -- do you have the same effect on the equity markets? are people from abroad loading up on u.s. equities like they are with john miller? >> this is a great question and about six weeks ago we had the off-site in asia, we were talking to clients in hong kong and singapore, but one of the biggest questions we had is what sectors you would buy in the u.s. and europe. we have a lot of numbers from the asian clients about diversifying their equity portfolios into non-asian markets. the movehat there is diversify and i think that the u.s. and europe will be picking up. >> i love how jpmorgan has an off-site.
6:37 am
we go to the monkey bar on 54th street. i was is going to have that one thing you're seeing in urban markets, you see a tremendous amount of redevelopment, more so than in the suburban areas, wall street generated the sovereign wealth funds, and they are filling the void where commercial banking is still grappling with the legacy issues of our prior problems. people looking for hungry for returns and this is sort of the wild west. build it and they will come. >> it is interesting you bring 3at up to cousin looks like world trade center will be finished using private financing. larry silverstein had a lease on the original buildings before they were destroyed on 9/11. according to people familiar work to matter, he will line up private financing. this is the trend.
6:38 am
>> there is money in people's pockets burning to be lent, we see that with rental and condominiums. >> there seems to be shadow banking that is growing, this has been very damaging to the chinese property market, what does this mean to us? >> a product being built in most of the urban markets around the country is skewed heavily towards the high-end of the market. chinesethat the situation is much more broad-based, what is being dealt here is 10% of the market is being addressed and the balance of the market is extremely devoid of new products coming into the markets. this is a challenge and that has to be corrected. >> what you're basically saying is the top 10% -- financed by the top 10%? >> bingo. >> well put.

6:52 am
invest in the middle of a five-year bull market. jpmorgan bank, doing a lot for them in strategy, we talked about this earlier. i loved the note that you put out for us here. the note onp, investors being reluctantly -- reluctantly bullish. earnings season is critical for sentiment as investors look for confirmation that first-quarter weakness was an aberration, and that growth is on track. i love your earnings-per-share view of 7.8%. to the upside or downside, i would suggest that it would be even better. -- andre trying to be our investments and we would love to see some moved to the outside. first quarter was little bit weird with the weather and the softer data, and we saw a sniffing a number of buybacks, a
6:53 am
lot of confusing data over the last three or four months but we want companies to say that we feel optimistic about the future. remember those plans we promised, we will start actually taking part. >> jeff and melt was adamant that the single factor in the regression equation is almost rising. gdp, thate nominal solves all sorts of problems and that is a best friend to investors. >> i think policymakers are the best friends of investors and this is very supportive for risk-taking. -- evenbeing cautious with inflation picking up a little bit. the bank of japan is on watch, and emerging markets central banks need to tighten because inflation is not much of a problem. we have policymakers supporting not just a growth story but overall investor sentiment. and that is one of the main reasons we are constructive on equities. >> earlier on we use the
6:54 am
expression, where we are in the cycle. -- oil in the s&p 500 and gas and basic materials show the highest earnings growth. what does that tell you about where we are in the cycle? >> earnings growth, we have to member where the base is or was. resources in general have struggled to recover with a lot of excess capacity, a lot of production growth on the mining site. and a sniffing and amount of production growth, in order to get tightness in the sectors and to be the next leg up, growth needs to be broad-based and we need to see a rebound in the sector. >> michael for role he has been out front in measuring the pulse of the nation and the potential gdp. do you disagree with bill gross about -- then bill gross? >> we are more optimistic and a lot of anecdotal evidence says that people feel more optimistic
6:55 am
about the future. i mentioned this thing about policymakers, policy uncertainty has a very inverse correlation with how people spend and what we expect to happen in the economy. i think that policy -- as policy uncertainty dissipates on the monetary and fiscal side and as we get to elections, we see more company spending and this will create a more self-sustaining cycle and we disagree that we are in a stall out, we believe we can grow in the next few years. >> that is a raging debate right now. >> growth on the one hand. >> and merrill lynch is there as well. >> we have a pretty narrow range that is taking place, and very light following as well. these are the highlights of the current bull rally. given that they are sitting on the sidelines and waiting to commit some sort of consolidation -- >> i think a lot of institutional investors raise
6:56 am
cash and in the last four weeks people put more money to work but as you look at the overall flow, they have not been outstanding into equities so far this year. the bond funds outpace what we have with equities. there is still money in the sidelines in the expectation that people have is a pick up in volatility the summer that may not actually coming to that. >> what do you see for institutional commercial real estate? will this make skyscrapers happen? >> the problem just like in the residential sector is there is not a lot of products to buy, there is a lot of jason developments to these and this is just not there. rates, you see is cap absurdly high prices being made -- being paid for products the runoff revenue they do not support. >> thank you so much and safe

7:04 am
is what mcdaniel said. something a bit strange and unusual about a republican primary that is decided by liberal democrats. is with bloomberg politics. i thought this was history making last night. was this about democrats in mississippi or cochran and the establishment getting out the vote? >> it is extraordinary, we have not seen this in decades, to have turnout increase. of this was african-americans, smart tactics but this is really the republican establishment saying, we are not going to lose this senate seat. if they lost the primary they might -- but they found a way to turn out a lot of voters. >> john mccain visited, haley barbour, from mississippi. how does this affect the entire u.s. senate and across the nation? >> if he had lost the primary, democrats would have gone to try
7:05 am
to win the seat and that may give them a pickup possibility. theone who wants republicans to take back the senate -- and gives the republican establishment a way to argue that not only can they stop at the tea party -- but they got african-american voters and that is something that the party wants to do, nationally. >> what are the best practices the establishment has learned to take on the tea party? >> don't spend all of your money on television ads. center cochran with an anti-tea party message. he said i have enough establishment and credibility that idea funding for education and disaster relief. that is trying to redefine the republican party. that message in a southern state like mississippi played well. >> the victory last night was only 51% to 49% and the tea party is still alive and where -- alive and well. >> they challenged that and i
7:06 am
don't think that they will get far, there is no recount. a win is a win and cochran turned out a lot more voters. close does not make much of a difference. the tea party has the part of the republican party. if they stand for lower taxes and less government, that is part of a big message. tea party voters but they don't want them to define the republican party. if the republicans are going to be a national party and compete in mississippi and states like california. >> one of the ramifications is the candidates for the gop. >> you have to have a strategy and messages -- a message. the staff turned it up but the republican party has to have a message that appeals to after american voters. cochran got help with african-american voters and when i look at the final numbers,

7:08 am
>> i would challenge those facts a little bit. the gop has some fantastic women candidates, in the u.s. senate we have 2 fantastic female candidates, one in iowa and one in oregon. but not as many women as the democrats do. but in the senate there are four democratic women against three republican women. >> in the last election met romney did well with married women and less with single women. i don't think there is a problem but i think that the democratic party has run a narrative that says the gop is waging a war on women, which is ridiculous. doinghe democrats are which may backfire is pigeonholing women, described women as a single issue special interest group. we are not a special interest group, we are half the nation and we care about every issue. every issue is a woman's issue.
7:09 am
the gop do issee say that women care about health care and education and the deficit. >> an important question, is secretary clinton pigeonholing women when she goes off on the book tour? >> she has a pretty broad message and does well with working-class voters. carly is right, gender gets a lot of attention, but married versus single is a big issue. >> how has the republican party reduce women to a stance on abortion? >> that is the democratic narrative. >> but the defining issue has been controlling that narrative. >> the democrats have been controlling that narrative but that is not what the gop has been doing. what we need is to stand up and say, excuse me. all women don't agree on these issues. i happen to be pro-life and i understand that not every woman agrees with me, but i understand the vast majority of women are not single issue voters.

7:30 am
our senior west coast correspondent jon erlichman is up very early, and of course he's there. what does google hope to attempt with this new box that isn't already available? >> well, this android tv thing, adam, is basically the evolution of their tv strategy. they were thinking about the future in tv long before a lot were. this is more of a software play. if you think about what google tv had been, some people had experience with that, they basically teamed up with tv manufacturers. they bought google to the television. their hope was you'd have a more interactive experience. one of the early challenges was that some of the media companies were a little protective of their content. they didn't want it to be more interactive. this is essentially going to the next generation of their software. there's been a lot of discussion about whether there will actually be a set-top box. it's possible that there will be a set-top box, but it might be one of their manufacturing partners. i think this is really more about them getting android-type software into more devices, in
7:31 am
this case television. >> in other words, jon, it's not just a land grab, but it's actually trying to expand the whole ecosystem, is that the way to look at this, the way apple has done? >> absolutely. i think google has learned, first of all, that when you have your own hardware, it can be challenging. at this event a couple of years ago, for example, speaking of television, they unveiled something called the nexus x. it was high prismse the content choices weren't great, and it bombed. and then they came out with something called the chrome cast. we've been talking about apple tv. we've been talking about roku devices, the success they've had. chrome cast has had a lot of success, too, because it's been cheap and cheerful. but more importantly, it gives access to a lot of stuff. you can access netflix and a lot of the different programming. in the world of android, they're very much about working with everybody. today they'll talk about android that can be used for television. they'll talk about android that can be used for wearable devices, the same way that it
7:32 am
can be used with smartphones and tablets. >> jon, i'm fascinated. when do these toys get critical mass? is it this quarter, one year out, is it five years out? where's the tipping point for google and, for that matter, for apple as well? >> well, i love that question, tom. you know, we're all waiting for this iwatch from apple. a lot of people speculating maybe later this year. and the demand is really there now that we've all gotten so used to fitness apps and there have been a few smart watches out there. the interesting thing about google, they've already got the software out there, android wear, and it's very possible today they're going to show off some of the hardware from their hardware partners. they've got partners like l.g., motorola, samsung, h.t.c., who were all working on smart watches that will be fueled by the android software. i think in some ways we're already there. in terms of your point about everybody wearing this stuff, if android and google are
7:33 am
making their push now and apple is around the corner, i mean, by the holiday season, you would expect that smart watches are going to be a big focus point. >> yeah, they sure will be. jon erlichman in front of the google developers conference, thanks, jon. we'll check in with you later today. carly, google completely redefining itself. you talk about a left turn. is google articulating the vision to the rest of us clearly enough? >> you know, i'm reminded when i listen to this story, back in 2001 i gave a speech in which i said the next 20, 25 years would be defined by a movement from physical and analog to digital, mobile, virtual, and personal. and we've seen the transformation to digital and mobile, and now what we're seeing is virtual and personal. and i think all of this wearable technology is an example -- and we used to think this was personal. now it's getting really personal. but i think the next big wave is virtual. so i think it's pretty

middle east. doctor, i spoke to you a few days ago, the news flow is so extraordinary, we need an update. i would like to know from you how you would suggest saudi arabia and the rest of sunni middle east will respond to iraq. >> oh, gosh, tom, that's a really difficult question. i'm not sure how they're going to respond. what i do know is that the situation in iraq is getting worse, and that the regional repercussions are getting higher, and that's what the markets started worrying about yesterday. >> this is ancient, ancient battleground between shia and sunni. the new word is califate. i know you looked at that, how do you describe what could be new borders within iraq? within iraq, syria, kurdistan, and jordan? >> very hard. once you destabilize it's actually very doyle regain it, and that's what you're seeing
7:36 am
right now. there's talk about splitting up the country, but exactly how you would do that and talk about coming together in a unity government, and it's not clear. so this is going to remain uncertain for a while, and it's going to remain especially uncertain, not just for iraq, but for the countries around iraq. >> mohammed, so many of the borders that are on the map when we look at that part of the region were effectively created because western governments were involved. how does the west in this day and age, where so much has changed, now straddle that fine line between being involved and letting the region sort it out itself? >> you know, i had that discussion with tom a couple of days ago. the critical thing is to get buy-in from the ground. if you don't get a solution from the ground up, it is impossible for anybody to impose a solution from outside. i think it's right that the west is now focusing on bringing together the different parties, hopefully in order to negotiate some national unity approach. >> you talk, doctor, about a
7:37 am
need for a ground response. michael knight writing overnight on the sunni response actually on the ground in iraq. if we're not going to recapitulate 2003 or 2006, what should be the u.s. response? >> it's hard. there isn't much room for maneuver. you know, it goes back, tom, to what we were talking about in economics. what's desirable is not that feasible today, and that is the world we're living in. that's the geopolitical world we're living in, and that's the domestic political world we're living in right now. >> as you advice allianz, do you have a tipping point on brent crude? is there a number for brent crude where things begin to unravel? >> no, there isn't, but what i do know is that crude has this issue of being a tax in europe on both producers and consumers. so a move in oil is ken quen shall, because they're both impacted in europe. >> why is it do you think oil hasn't broken above the 116,
7:38 am
that somehow the world is saying this will get sorted out, even as the headlines are unfathomable on sunday? >> i think it's the other way around. what they're doing at 114 for brent when the global economy is so weak. i think if you put into any equation the global economy that is as weak as it is today, you'd never get 114 in terms of brent. so it is up there because of the geopolitical concerns, not only from iraq, but there's also geopolitical concerns coming from ukraine. now, they've come down, but they're still there. >> mohammed, what's your fair value for oil? >> that's such a tough question. what i do know is 114, there's a big premium in there. the global economy growth rate first quarter, and this is not a global economy that's functioning on all cylinders, and therefore, the impact on oil price is less than it would be otherwise. >> mohammed el-eriian with us

7:43 am
otherwise, and certainly lower han historical averages, and that's correct. part tv is financial repression, and that is how you overcome a debt burden. part of it is that growth engines are less powerful these days n. terms of investors, i think that investors have gone a long way in searching for yields in public markets. there wasn't much left at this point, tom. if you are investing at this point for yield, you really are anticipating that things will be steady for a long time. so i think increasingly you're going to see search outside of public markets into private markets. that's why yield is going to be obtained from here. >> adam, you see that with bank of america going to a run rate el-erian said. >> in fact, carly fiorina, we are going to get the revision for g.d.p. this morning, in theory, negative 1.8%. what's your take? do you think it's more than weather? >> yes, i think it's absolutely more than weather. i think we have structural issues now in this economy.

we've had too much crony capitalism for too long to be very honest. all this complex tax code and regulatory structure makes big companies bigger, because they can deal with it, but we're crushing main street entrepreneurialism. the brookings institute just came out and said we're now destroying more businesses than we're creating in this country for the first time in history. fewer small businesses are starting. more are failing than in 40 years. and that's important, because that's where job growth really come from. >> mohammed, i want to get your thoughts on a topic that's in the papers today. france very upset about the b.n.p. paribas sign that's being negotiated right now. president hollande threatening to block the trade agreement, threatening to complain r. we on the cusp of a trade war here? >> i don't think so. i think that this is domestic politics playing out. if you are in the process, they feel that they're being singled out. the reality is there was very

and those statistics are encouraging in many ways, because it says women are able to choose their lives. it may also be a sign that families are feeling under great pressure. i talked a little earlier about crony capitalism and main street entrepreneurship. part of the consequence of that is the rich are getting richer, equities are the only place you can find returns, so if you own it, great. if you don't, too bad. >> you're missing out. >> the poor getting poorer. the middle class is stuck in between. some of this may be families are under pressure. on the other hand, women are the most underutilized resource in the world. >> the recent diversity reports from yahoo and google show it's overwhelmingly white and asian. >> good sell saying how cool they are, and turns out, based on their employment, oh, not so much. people need to understand that women represent an underutilized resource. we're half the country. so i think this now requires a
