thought when the gun to the belly of the october selloff especially in equities, i did not think managers would come back and size. i think they are now seeing the potential for really strong last quarter. >> interesting stuff and thank you for that. we are "on the markets" again and 30 and minutes but "market makers" is next. >> live from bloomberg ad court is in new york, this is "market makers." >> the labor market is on a hot streak with employers adding more than 200,000 jobs for the ninth month in a row. the u.s. economy, can it withstand the global slowdown? >> happy birthday twitter. when we start making money. a year after the ipo, there are questions about the company's performance. >> two foreign retailers fight for your dollars and their first battleground is new york city. welcome to "market makers," i am

stephanie ruhle with a very special guest. >> you're not talking about me. i'm matt miller in for erik schatzker. we have been together all week and i have not mastered reading the intro's. >> that's true. let's get to the news, the most important part of your morning. >> i will kick it off -- we have not seen unemployment is low in six years for a ninth straight month. employers added more than 200,000 jobs in the jobless rate to 5.8%0 of one percent and hiring was broad-based and factories and construction companies and retailers added employees. the dollar still fell while treasuries rose because employers actually added fewer jobs than had been forecast. there is speculation that interest rate hikes may be put forward. at ford, a high-level job swap with the top marketing executive being sent to run the money-losing european division. the move is aimed at retaining farley by giving him experience and he was once considered in the running for the top job of

ceo. the outgoing european chief stephen o double take as marketing job back in detroit. ford is projecting a $1.2 billion loss in europe this year. tv contracts or pro basketball and football are cutting into yuppies profits. disney posted quarterly earnings that beat estimates and movie profits help offset the rising cost for sports programming at espn. the disney ceo bob iger is not a big fan of unbundling. they have no plans to offer espn or the disney channel on the standalone basis. >> we've got a multi channel bundle that is creating tremendous value for us and great value for the consumer. there is no reason as far as we see to do anything rash or do anything that necessarily or that damages it for the long term. >> shares of disney are trading lower today.

has found a way to keep staff from leaving in the wake of bill gross his departure. pay them more -- the firm introduced a $279 million award program. and employees and clients were rattled when bill gross. left. the election,er president obama sits down with congressional leaders with both sides saying they will work to get rid of the gridlock that has plagued washington. dan pfeiffer spoke with us. >> we will look for every opportunity to work with them to get something done. we know it will be hard and take a lot of effort on our art and create change in behavior but that would be great. that is what is good for the country. the president says we have two years to move the ball forward in congress or on our own. >> one thing we will see for sure and capitol hill is how speaker john banner will vote

again on repealing obamacare. >> we know it ever focused on today -- the jobs report. payrolls expanded by more than 200,000 jobs, the unemployment rate ticked lower in the -- participation rate ticked higher. what does this mean for the next fed move? 200,000 jobs, we have seen this now for nine months straight. -- should we be having a bull market partly? >> during expansionary periods over the last 20 years, 200 jobs per month is about what you do. we are doing better than that. the six month or 12 month average, 200 20-240,000 jobs per month which is good. the unemployment rate is 5.8%. the numbers are pretty good. when everyone ago was crying and ready to jump out a window and saying we are falling off a cliff, where did that come from and how are we back to the moment where the

economy is great. >> i think you're going through a significant divergence, global growth versus u.s. magnet -- manufacturing in the u.s. has been trending about one percent the last few months and europe is doing the exact opposite. it has been slower or stabilizing. the global economy is still slow. japan is slow getting stimulus and europe is slow but the u.s. economy, a closed people are worried about exports falling up because of the strong dollar. do you think that is not as much of a concern because we are a closed economy? >> you always hear people say it's a balance because x or through a but to have an energy benefit but it's not balance them of those are two separate issues. when you look at energy in the system and vehicle miles traveled, you get a tailwind that hits the u.s. consumer.

if you look at the number today, you are seeing income levels grind higher and you're getting this big boost coming from lower energy prices that comes through the system that is more significant than any falloff from exports. why aren't we seeing wage growth? one out of every five jobs that were treated last month for waiters and bartenders are not reaping the benefits of high-paying jobs. how do we need to address this? >> one issue is that there is a lag effect. it usually takes six months or so before you see it come into which. -- into wage. we study aggregate data and we are living in an economy that is bifurcated. you have skilled labor where you see significant price pressure. jobs, the onese that are being taken over by technology where you see no price pressure. and no wage pressure.

when you aggregated together, it looks modest. when you look at job openings and jobs that are hard to fill, the people who have skills, there you see tangible growth and you will see more and more of that over the coming months. >> there is a debate going on between economists, academics, there areals who say disinflation or a forces at play in the internet which says there is inflation. what do you think about that? you don't see any inflation and wages. you've got a zero hedge and pulsing argument that there is inflation that somehow is being ignored. i'm not sure what the argument is. there are a couple of real governors on inflation. one is technology and innovation which is literally deflationary.

price and production is deflationary. it's creating a head when but you have an economy growing almost two percent inflation and is bucking the trend of the deflationary forces. when people say it's inflation or deflation, the u.s. is in pretty good shape in terms of inflation being close to two percent while you've got big headwinds. you look at europe and you look at these same headwinds but you are not seeing enough aggregate demand or enough gdp growth. you have potential deflation there. >> udc some prices of the grocery store going up so some stuff you need to have to live is getting mark spencer. 11's are getting more spence of every year if you want to buy a porsche. wages are not rising to quickly so it does not seem like you are seeing inflation. is the fed ever going to raise interest rates? why in the world today is it

the two percent goal of intent -- of inflation? we are not living in that environment and i would argue that given the improvement in employment, we are not at zero percent funds rate emergency standing anymore. you can start to raise rates despite the fact that inflation is not up or above your goal. they can still start to move. waiting we think is dangerous and the distortion in the markets it creates is significant. >> early this week, we sat down with the dallas fed president, maybe the most hawkish one out there. >> if we wait until we've achieved what we consider to be a natural rate of employment and/or our inflation target is right on spot, history has proven that every time the fed has done that it has been had to tighten and has driven us into recession. >> he basically agrees with you but what about other members of the fed? statementt fed

started to suggest that maybe some movement towards what we think is the start to move probably in june of 2015. they can still move sooner but we think you are starting to see movement. the last statement was significant in terms of recognizing improvement in labor and that they are closer to their goal. no doubt that many members of the fed are more dovish and more patient with regard to moving the rate but i think you are starting to see a transition of where they are starting to move. once they start, it will be deliberate in the pace but clearly, i think they are starting to move. people shouldls stop hating the fed as far as who is doing anything. the fed is the only game in town. it's not like washington is doing anything to help the economy. would you agree? >> i do, we have no fiscal policy which is why we have excessive monetary policy.

japanink about why improved is because you have fiscal and structural and monetary policy. in europe, all eyes are on mariota druggie. -- mariano druggie. -- mario draghi. there are other tellings of economic growth. >> are you optimistic for fiscal policy note the white house and congress will get along and start compromising? >> i am. there is some level of skepticism but i think that now -- it is probably two or three issues like tax reform and energy where you will start to get some movement. i don't think it will be on 50 lashes but i think on two or three significant issues i am optimistic you'll get movement. i'm more optimistic today than two or three weeks ago. >> the election night was a big night for chris christie. not only does he look great but it was a big win for him. you are a new jersey guy, do you

think he will run for president? >> i don't know. my gut would say yes. i don't know how much hit he took for bridge date -- gate? >> were you stuck in traffic on the george washington bridge? >> that day i was not. there is probably a result chance he will get pressured to do it. at the heart of it, i think you would like to. >> are you looking forward to this election season? i think there's opportunities in the marketplace. thatll get some volatility we got some volatility and october which was great. >> david einhorn said he wishes there was more time. there were very few investors saying this is a great buying opportunity. you were. >> we talked about the high-yield market coming under pressure and i would argue that was the concern about selling. there were great high yield opportunities and great opportunities in parts of the

emerging world. i guess i would probably err on the side of saying i hoped it was longer but it's nice when it ends. >> active managers love to see some volatility. >> that's true. >> thank you so much. always great to get your thoughts especially on jobs day. >> when we come back, one year after the ipo, twitter is still struggling to get it right. we will discuss dick costolo's moves. >> h&m goes head to head with his british rival. ♪

>> is the first anniversary of twitter as a public company but it may not have a lot to celebrate. there is a chart of the stock since its first day close, down nine percent, down 10.5%.

user growth is slowing of the company continues to lose money and it does not expect to make a dime of profit until 2017. many were saying the same thing about facebook a year after its ipo and it's one of the best-performing stocks in the s&p 500 since then. let's take a look at the last year of twitter and its future with cory johnson. >> your arithmetic is not so good. the company's predictions about profit -- >> starting a segment dogging the anchor -- for shame. haven't you learned your lesson? >> it's not you it's him. ofst of all, the construct the story i love because it points out a lot about how twitter sees itself and what they are trying to do and how the world in particular and how new york looks of the company. the stock is one year old. the company's many years old.

the ipo was a big event for the. company because of the context in which it happened groupon and zynga and facebook and linkedin and this new pile of ipos in the world of technology. some of those companies, the ipo was the event. groupon tried to make the results look at before the ipo. zynga change their accounting to make the numbers look better than they were before the ipo. in those events, it was all about the ipo. you can see the reaction to the stocks which have fallen dramatically twitter and facebook and linkedin are at different because they are tying to build a business. the twitter ipo was a very important event for people of the company, there was staff changes and people hung on waiting to cash out, the business of twitter, they've always had the tiger by the tail. they have this amazing idea that resonates with a certain amount of people. we are on twitter like crazy. we get the platform but the user

growth issues have been an issue for them. the way they show the product and sell the product has been very difficult to expand beyond the core base. the slowing growth is a big issue for this company. >> i sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to check my twitter so i am on it all the time. i don't ever buy stuff on twitter. how are they going to make money? >> advertising works. from the revenue per user that advertisers are starting to figure out how to use twitter and twitter is trying to figure out how to get advertisers to pay. advertisers are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to get in front of twitter users. you don't have to make a purchase for something to be valuable on advertising works. can they grow this to a big enough size and can -- i think the size of the audience still the issue. the monetization is very impressive and i think it's also about advertisers figuring out what kind of ads to right for

twitter and what kind of users they want to target and the ability of twitter to find just the users they want. the user base is big, 200 84 million people at the end of the last quarter but they need that to grow more. the specialization within the promise.s the real they are using technology to target just the right people to the ads do not feel like ads, they feel like viable content and the advertisers are reaching the they want to reach. >> let's compare twitter to facebook for a moment. costello told emily chang there'd goal is to get the user base bigger than facebook. if you look at twitter, post-ipo and facebook post-ipo, facebook wondered how they would address mobile. they crested. this is facebook's first year. let's look at twitter now.

facebook is going up and now twitter -- bam - is the issue that there is simply no clear strategy? we like the platform and the idea but we also don't have a clear competitor to twitter. couldn't one come in right now because they have not found a second act? if i did graphics for that, you are looking at what the stock is doing. that's about buyers and sellers. if you want to look at revenue growth, or operating profits -- >> look at revenue for a tech company? >> imagine that or operating profits. i even think adjusted operating rockets which are usually a scam but in the case of twitter, they back up the right things. you can see real progress in the business. it's a small business still relative to its market cap. about the dynamic

between a growing business getting more profitable on the adjusted level and business is getting better. but it's getting better more slowly particularly around user growth. dick costolo is brave. the business is getting better and the stock is really expensive. maybe the stock continues to go down as the business continues to get better but fundamentally, they will have to have a better business to support any kind of stock growth. >> why does it seem so much faith has been lost in the twitter senior management? journal"ll street these goes after them. >> ouch, that's rough. >> when you have a job and you and you know how

difficult the company is and you know how match changes are going on behind the scene and you wonder have been everyone in the world not know how crazy this places. i worked at jobs like that. people seem to know what is going on at twitter. it's a difficult place to work and has tons of staff turnover. they have not had a product line that can appeal to lots of people and that will ultimately be the success for this company. those changes -- the staff changes make it harder to do. >> cory johnson's last appearance on bloomberg television. media is notsocial the only thing, players are losing interest in flagship games. ♪

is there a future of these companies? we talked about these results last night. it shocked me that think it is worth half of king digital. nga is worth half of king digital. king digital has always been a mobile company. millione almost 500 users. >> 500 million people are playing candy crash each month. that is insane. if you really think about zynga, people used to play games on facebook. what they were able to do, is that they were able to go up in popularity when facebook was popular. people were not that loyal to

zynga. whereas king digital has a loyal network of users. what they are dealing with is that as they play games all caps, they need to get the loyal audience. they have made the first steps toward that. >> do you want to weigh in? been playing donkey kong and all of those for so many years. >> most of the revenues now are digital. it is one thing to have a great winners likee farmville and can be crushed. but the ability to replicate machine, to have a company that can manage creative talent and manage that

artificially control prices. generally fed up, and we want government to do something. they want to see income inequality addressed their janet addressed. janet yellen wants to help people. >> when you take the line of what we will do is whatever it takes -- >> the president is going to come in front of you right now. he is talking about the jobs report. i want to listen in. >> all of this is testament to the hard work and resilience of the american people. they have been steady and strong , digging themselves out of the worst economic crisis since the great depression. we need to make sure we build on this momentum because we recognize that despite the solid growth but despite the drop in unemployment, there are still a lot of folks out there who are anxious about their futures, old raw having trouble -- or who are
