their intention to try to do their best to overcome the difficulties of the greek economy as soon as possible. olivia: no clear-cut date when greece greece would run out of money. it could be a matter of weeks. president obama urging iran's young people to pressure their leaders on the nuclear deal. in a youtube video marking persian new year the president argued freezing the nuclear program could lead to a better relationship. president obama: a nuclear deal could open the deal to a brighter future for the american people. who, as heirs to a great civilization, have so much to give the world. this moment may not come soon. olivia: "the wall street journal" says talks have stalled over economic sanctions. the run want want -- iran wants sanctions phased out right away,

the u.s. and europe want them repealed of for a number of fields. gulf oil ministers say opec needs to keep pumping oil. the cartel has resisted calls to cut back production. brendan: a startling report about google. an ftc report in 2012 concluded google abused its monopoly in search and advertising in ways that hurt internet users. ftc staff recommended the agency sued google on antitrust grounds. google agreed to change practices. the agency gave the report to the wall street journal by mistake as part of a foia request. an eclipse in europe in germany that halted output from solar panels. they provide 40% of the country's power. grid operators switched to natural gas and coal to make up. in sports, some bracket busting

in the ncaa tournament. for the first time in 20 years, two teams seeded 14 beat the number three seed. georgia state stunned baylor. the coach's son nailed a three point shot with less than three seconds to go. georgia state trailed by 12 and scored the last 13 points of the game. alabama birmingham knocked out iowa state. vegas loved the game. tom: underdogs. i was mediocre. the only thing constructive i am ahead of the president in brackets. brendan: here we go. a lot of coaches get raises just to make it into the tournament. even teams that are leaving. olivia: this is an unusual way to start march madness.

less than 1% of all brackets filled out 273 out of 11.5 million brackets are still intact. that is not. brendan: stephen f. austin -- tom: it is like a lottery. olivia: it is a six sigma event. brendan: it is quadratic! tom: olivia with some standard deviation action. we will keep it math free, one big churned. nice undercurrents, oil, 43.66, somewhat of a bid. vix, 14.77, spread is flattening. renminbi is the huge story. the yuan shows a back story on real estate in china. that bears watching everything weekend. this is something brendan greeley is up to speed on. greece-german

yields. these are elevated yields and here is the crisis in greece we get better, draghi, thank you. this is the story. brendan: these are two different movements. this is credit uncertainty. this is political uncertainty. we do not know what is going to happen. new regime and new promises they had not been fulfilled or denied by the eu. this is political uncertainty. tom: the catalyst is the liquidity around the political uncertainty. there's a little bit on the markets on this off friday. my tie looks like i did my brackets last night. i am sorry. i'll tie my tie during the break. olivia: looks like the solar eclipse. tom: 1662 is the last time we had an eclipse. i was just starting geometry

back then. brendan: it is a shame that the german power grid cannot tap into your enthusiasm. you could power the country. olivia: live pictures right now. tom: this is between iceland and scotland on the way to the jonathan ferro islands. olivia: you know what that is called? a waning gibbous. tom: astronomy with olivia! we will move on to something we know about. after the yellen fireworks, markets are dropping markets adjust to the fed. to an economy that suggests subdued revenue and earnings growth. thomas lee is cofounder and head of research at fun strap. he is able -- he is able -- he is a bull. thomas: it is a minority

position right now. tom: what are the new walls of worry from the last time you were darkening our dork? -- our door? what is the fear your clients have? thomas: if there is a chart people do not like, one is the dollar, it looks very parabolic. and then it is oil because it is continuing to be weak. in their minds, two of these happening like once is like [laughter] a solar eclipse. olivia: you came out in december, your year and target to 3.25, -- 23.25, a 15% depreciation. a love that was on capex. does the decline in oil change that? thomas: we will get some sense in a couple weeks when q1 comes out. i think there's a capex story.

900 companies have given guidance, they are fighting for single digit increases last year, the same companies guided down 6. it ended up being flat. companies rarely cut capex. i think we are talking, even with energy cutting capex 20% to 25%. brendan: i have been hearing the same argument about the bull market as i have about growth in china. because it has gone up at some point it has to go back down the reversion of the mean argument. sounds like there's not going to be a perversion to the mean, we are seeing a long-term change. thomas: there's something unusual about the u.s. economy. the consumer has been deleveraging for like five years

. companies have not been spending. we are almost essentially in a recession in some terms. housing starts are at recession levels. brendan: do you call that a credit recession? tom: come on -- this is critical. as an equity guy when the atlanta fed says 0.3% gdp, that is lousy. the you think that is a one-off first quarter event or do you drag that in to the rest of 2015? thomas: when i think of the components of what gdp is, i think there is some suppression. there is upside for investment to pick up. we know investment spending in the u.s. collectively is 23% of gdp. it should be, midcycle is 25% ended peaks at 28%. tom: this is the yellen chart, the qre chart, correction free. there was a government slowdown

glitch. help me with this. we are addicted to owning stocks and nothing bad happens. howdy respond to the people that say you are setting yourself up for a 10% correction or 18% beer market? thomas: both are inevitable. tom: obviously but it has not happened. you and i have aged looking at this. thomas: we tried to study what drives corrections. they are very unpredictable. a correction instead of something we want to anticipate is how we want to react. their markets are a lot more predictable. the two things to watch are the business cycle maturing and yield curves inverting long-term . neither is happening. the bull market is in great shape. i do not know about a correction. brendan: you have written that this is a good time to be an active investor?

are there good and that times how do you know when that has arrived? thomas: for the last three years it has been an awful time to be an active investor. the benchmarks trounced most managers. part as it is that price discovery has not taken place in the markets. sector dispersion in the last three years was narrow. you could not really sector weight your way out of beating the benchmark. i think the bond proxy trade made it tough to do anything but owned low-volume stocks. my anecdote i think the bond proxy trade moved to europe. a lot of hedge funds think it is easier now that qe is taking place. second, historically low dispersion is followed by normalization. i'm optimistic. i think 2015 will start to be a good year for managers and is a return to the early 2000's and the 1990's. olivia: you are predicting the s&p is coming up 15% and you are

telling your client you're going to do better than that net fees this year. thomas: yes. and things that are subtle like contrarian stocks, beating the index. tom: tom lee with us. we focus on the dollar strength later. olivia: tom lee at fun strap -- fundstrat. eu leaders pledged to extend sanctions, will they follow through? happy friday. ♪

they strengthened -- they neither strengthened sanctions neither decided to extend them. brendan: you reported on this from moscow and just came back from donetsk. one of the things we read is that vladimir putin's goal is to split europe in two. the baltics and pollen pushing for hard sanctions and southern europe not excited. has he succeeded? ryan: they had a couple options, one of the things that was not on the table was strengthening sanctions. they had the choice to extend onto the end of the year or waiting until june. they found a more aggressive option than doing nothing which they said we will return in june. we will not extend them now let's give the russians an opportunity to do what we want. but we are going to tie the removal of the existing sanctions to that minsk deal ho llande and merkel cut with

putin. brendan: is the minsk deal being upheld? ryan: a deal is held as long as the parties that signed it think it is. more or less, they are happy to say it is. there are a lot of science, this is something i saw in done yet international airport, this could fall apart easily. olivia: fantastic reporting. i encourage everyone to go to bloomberg.com and check out those reports. you said everyone you spoke to nobody did expect the peace to hold. is there a belief that putin will not stop until he has a land bridge to crimea? ryan: i do not think it is about a land bridge. it is about asserting the power of russia and the importance of russia i ukraine.

he can do that without a land bridge, he needs political power in kiev. you can ferry stuff to crimea. russia has an enclave that is not contiguous. i do not think that is a huge point. he wants to destabilize ukraine. tom: ryan chilcote on ukraine. wendy you go back to ukraine? ryan: i don't know. i have to rest. a few weeks. tom: we look at new capitalism on wall street. vikram mansharamani from yale joins us. stay with us on this friday. bloomberg "surveillance," futures up 5. ♪

tom: these quotes always come with -- always come from someone with eight figures in their net worth. vikram: it makes sense to do it, honestly, i am not in the capacity to do that. brendan: people subscribed to big ideas. everyone is enthralled with the ideas of some dead economist. we are possibly revising the idea that shareholder value is more important than anything else. vikram: there is a desire to think in terms of stakeholders. that is the conversation that has been going on. we need to think whether it is the inclusive capitalism, the compassionate capitalism, there are a lot of labels for it. it is a complex issue. tom: sum this up. how do you bring this to wall street? vikram: we need a change in cold

-- a change in culture. olivia: if they can prove impact investing works, that will trickle down. coming up, the republican road to the white house is routed. ♪

tom: good morning. i am going to read up on greece. i need to get smarter. the morning must-read. denmark with goldman, eric nielsen shifts.

a massive change for the euro optimist. there does this week -- no question about it, the grease that german spread showing that tension. brendan: i am fascinated the way he close that by saying a deeply committed european -- there is a psychology that happens in brussels or even as a journalist, you get captured where you believe that no matter what, more integration is good. you talk about deeply committed european, 10 years ago, we could -- 15 years ago, we could have done with slightly less committed europeans. tom: you set up a polarity with charles dumont. he is decidedly skeptical versus what eric nielsen has been

saying. this is a huge note from sunday. this is a huge shift of a european thinking. brendan: vikram: is here. vikram: i get concerned when we talk about europe. there is still these national identities that are quite large among individuals in europe. to have this sense of being captured by the european logic i think it's a nice concept. you are starting to get there in some areas but it's not clear he will ever have individuals give up their national sovereignty. olivia: there is a real chance of your breaking up? vikram: i think over the next 10 years, you'll either get the united states of europe or you will have it crumbling back toward individual countries print it has to do with the identity crisis. amite european or french? brendan: in the u.s. we have a government party and

antigovernment arty but in the eu, there is no responsible anti-eu party hashing this out in brussels. tom: the events will be there on the timeline is key. let's get to a timeline that includes our top headlines. olivia: president obama has a message for the iranian young people by telling them their leaders should accept the nuclear deal on the table. the president used youtube to greet the iranian people on the persian new year. he said a nuclear program could lead to a much better relationship on both sides have agreed to a march 31 per luminary deadline to reach an agreement. it seems as though president obama and israel's primus or benjamin netanyahu are still at odds. the white house is saying it is reconsidering using its veto in the united nations a cure to counsel on behalf of israel. that came after a phone call between the president and benjamin netanyahu and the president said the u.s. would reassess its options in light of comments that the israeli leader made earlier this year of opposing a palestinian state. netanyahu is backing with him those are martin says he is committed to astute -- to astute

-- to a two state solution if circumstances change. brendan: the record drought in california's prompting jerry brown and democratic legislators to appropriate $1 billion to ease the crisis. record low rain fall have left them have full. jerry brown -- blames global warning. >> we see climate change and global warming, there will be more asked her name events brief extreme weather events as you get drought and all of a sudden when you're focused on drought come you can get massive storms that flood through these channels and overflow and cause havoc. brendan: if the california legislature approves it, the money would be used for lot control, water recycling and other projects. the first day of spring and winter is reluctant to say goodbye. forecasters a storm will dump up to half a foot of snow on the

northeast today. we are supposed to have it worst in new york city. for once, boston will get a break after a winter of record snowfall. they may only get an inch or two. it is the first major eclipse of the solar season. in germany it halted output from solar panels which provide 40% of the country's power. electric writ operators switched to natural gas to make up for the lost solar power. those are your top headlines. tom: the images have been spectacular of the clips. this is in a tough of the world for clear viewing. there it is cloudy. it's going back to 1662. let's do a data check. it is very quiet. futures are up seven and not bad but the euro is churning and oil

is churning. i am watching oil more than anything else. remembyi gave us some theater with an abrupt strengthening of the yuan but we are struggling today for a good way -- for good day. this is "bloomberg surveillance pe." olivia sterns is with us and brendan tells us about the bracket in washington. brendan: 17 republicans are openly considering a presidential run. they are already competing in what i decided to call the twitter primary. who is following whom? what are we learning from the twitter primary? stephen: we looked at the 17 prospective candidates. we paid a lot of attention to what they are tweeting and who is following them and who can

build the biggest following but we took a look at who they are following. we found some surprising things. jim demint former senator of south carolina, founder of the heritage foundation is the most followed person when you factor in his foundation on twitter. brendan: let's bring this up -- not only is he the most followed but more followed than john boehner or mitch mcconnell people who you would think would be followed more. mitch mcconnell only has four followers. olivia: are we confusing political influence with twitter influence? stephen: we don't know how many of these candidates are handling their own twitter accounts. a lot of them have staff members working on this. this is still there public face. it says a little bit about who they care about. brendan: vikram may have some

issues with your methodology. vikram: i'm sure there are different ways to interpret this but i think the concern about who runs the account is probably the most valid. tom: it's just not clear. tom:within this, there is a lesson from barack obama as a democrat. senator obama did better than good with social media. within this combination, what are you learning about the gop and twitter? stephen: the gop is doing a fantastic job is using it as a platform to reach their audiences. rand paul in particular is a person who you can see making real efforts to utilize social media. tom: what about jeb bush? stephen: he is just getting going and is a little more conservative on his frequency of use.

he talks about his blackberry use as much as he can. tom: what about the secretary point in twitter stuff and the obama clutter stuff? stephen: she has been reluctant -- she has been tweeting lately about the budget. she is using it more but she is more conservative. olivia: she is hastagging the3m#grandma knows best. vikram: i was interested in the comparison you did between stephen king and grover norquist. it's says the iowa primary is more important than making people happy in washington. stephen: here is steve king somebody who will be courted by a lot of these candidates especially the ones who need iowa to win. there's a whole group of them that if they don't perform in iowa, they will have a hard chance to go much further. we saw this with his cattle call in january when he had his iowa

freedom summit. everyone came running and they came on stage and gave their performances. he is not as followed as some people on twitter. he's got a pretty good following. olivia: i always think that talk radio is the literal mouthpiece of they conservatives of the republican party. should it be twitter? steven: conservative media on twitter is just as strong as anything. you can look at sean hannity and laura ingram. olivia: but is it the media of choice for republicans? steven: this year. brendan: it's important the person running the fee. aaron shock got into trouble for what he put instagram. steven: with possible campaigns that are just starting to form that staff members are getting held responsible for previous tweets. brendan: thanks for coming in.

olivia: coming up, we go up north -- is canada's economy heading off the rails? this is "bloomberg surveillance."

brendan: you are looking at a

live picture from new york looking downtown. there is a little bit of sunshine there but there are supposed to be snow later today. we don't have any snow in the studio. we have betty liu in the studio. tell me that kim kardashian is coming in today? kim: no, she's not coming in. i'm trying to give you the next best thing. it is her game. have you ever played our game? brendan: am i supposed to play yes? yes, i do. kim: if you do, it will teach you to get to the a-list. glu mobile has generated like $70 million in revenue from linking up with kim kardashian. what did they do? they doubled down and they have now signed on her sisters kendall and kylie. you know the whole clan.

brendan: i'm not proud. i know about this videogame. there was a great piece in "business week" six months ago by an editor who said i enjoyed this game more than i thought i would. she played it and got into it and realized it does all the things that video games are supposed to do. kim: it is addictive. brendan: one of the problems with actual mobile phone-based video games is that they've been having problems breaking out of that first success. rovio made angry birds at ran out of ideas. none of their new games had the appeal of angry birds. it is now turning to hollywood. kim: exactly, and others are turning to hollywood. might they be the ones, the celebrities, to get beyond the one-hit wonder question mark think about farmville or candy crash. --crush.

it was hotmail be a year ago and you don't hear anybody talking about it. brendan:the way that industry works, it's much more in the sense that vc capital should be pushing one idea and letting that idea slowly die but these companies that have one idea want to survive as companies. what is glu mobile going to do to build off of the success of the kardashian game question markkim: don't knock the kardashian's. they have a huge business empire. they got clothing and i wear and perfume and all sorts of other lines. brendan: god bless capitalism. betty: they are doubling down on the kardashian sisters but they will use other celebrities as well. they signed a deal with katy perry so you can play a katy perry game later. brendan: will there be a betty liu game question markbetty:

that might be negotiated later. brendan: ok, thank you. sadly, not talking to kim kardashian later today. i'm going to get that interview if it kills me. our twitter question of the day -- i had germans were supposed to visit me this summer but they are not doing it. you can tweet us. this is "bloomberg surveillance."

tom: good friday morning, "bloomberg surveillance." let's get to our top headlines. brendan: in brussels, the european leaders are delivering a simple message to greece. the clock is ticking. they are telling the prime minister the country must submit a more can't create reform plan so they let talks can accelerate but greece is running out of money. president obama's urging iran's young people to pressure their leaders on the nuclear deal. a youtube video he posted says the deal freezing iran's nuclear program could lead to a better relationship. also, new details are emerging about the yuan help agencies public response to the ebola crisis in west africa. they are suggesting an unnecessary delay may have cost

lives. the who resisted calling the outbreak a public health emergency even though officials knew the situation was dire. e-mails indicate the agency was worried about angering the african nations involved or hurting their economies. the big companies getting it online tv are looking for some preferential treatment. showtime and sony want comcast to treat their web traffic is a so-called managed service that would help them bypass growing internet congestion but it raises questions about whether it might violate net neutrality rules. in japan, man accused of making threats against the u.s. embassy is in custody this morning. it are partly a suspect in recent death threats against the ambassador caroline kennedy. he allegedly made that bomb threats from it a phone -- from a payphone. they frequently complain about crime and noise related to u.s. army bases. the u.s. prime minister was the unelected leader of a caretaker

government of power in 1975 but when on to win two elections and led the country for eight years. malcolm fraser was 84 years old. those are your top headlines for it olivia: also coming up in the next hour, at 10:00 a.m., we look at the impact of the strong dollar on the earnings of nike. at 8:00 we look at the slump in oil prices. there is a cash crunch in canada. household debt is at a record high, above 163% this past quarter which is far more than the u.s. which stands at 102% and get home prices in canada just keep on rising. there has been essentially on interrupted growth and the late 1990's. for those of you on radio, we will put out some very impressive charts about it. our guest host this morning is with us and says anna it is one of the world's most vulnerable large economies. -- says canada is one of the most vulnerable large economies. they are usually seen as

conservative. are you saying canada could go bust question mark vikram: i am concerned about it. credit and debt have been rising rapidly. the absolute level of household debt is concerning. number two, home prices which collateralize the debt have been rising quite substantially. vancouver is the second least affordable city in the world. olivia: why wasn't there a massive housing correction like in the u.s.? vikram: at that point, the affordability and housing prices cracked here, it was still ok in canada. it was not out of whack. it has risen substantially since. it is the top point of being able to pay for your home but more importantly in canada crude oil prices. the economy has been driven by crude oil and in particular, i think the statistic i so was 70% of employment created in canada since 2011 came from the province of alberta. brendan: is this a problem born

of having done things right in the past question mark i read these articles five years ago about how canada did everything right. they had no problems with banks. two you need small problems to avoid big problems? vikram: i think the banks are still well run. i think the banks are doing a reasonably good job. where a get concerned is in the private mortgage market that is starting to emerge. you have situations that i find crazy. you have individual homeowners respectable high credit quality homeowners that our borrowing off their home equity line and lending to individuals that cannot get access to credit. i take my home-equity line down to 3.5% and lend it to someone who cannot get a home equity line or mortgage for 10-12% for one year. tom: how much of this is on the pacific ocean? there is a massive amount of money coming in from china and

asia. that has to factor in. vikram: it does although it has probably factored more into the housing price dynamics in those parts of the country. the slowdown in china adds fuel to this fire. the slowdown in china means there is less demand. tom: this is a big theme. well investment in new york city stop with a stronger dollar? as you say, the other dynamics outside of this have more of an impetus to bring money to canada or the united states. vikram: that's right. tom: what else on canada? brendan: these crazy home-equity loans you're talking about, what is driving this? are you getting mortgage brokers going into neighborhoods like in the u.s.? vikram: this goes back to the first point earlier. when interest rates are manipulated down the slow people search for yield. how do i get return a my

capital? what do i do? equity prices seem full. what do i do question mark i get a home-equity line. i can lend it and sometimes professional organizations will modify it. tom: there is no question the dynamic of oil of $35 per barrel. olivia: huge consequences for the canadian labor market, $30 oil. vikram: even though it is focused on alberta, many of those individuals fly in and out from other parts of the country. olivia: 70% of job creation in canada. vikram: about. tom: do we want a solar a clips twitter question? olivia: no, we are talking about dollars -- this is our twitter question of the day -- tom keene might take a vacation and go to europe. a strong dollar will not change my plans to drive to walmart. tom: that's the domestic angle.

olivia: the second answer -- i have seen a lot of interest in skiing in japan. tom: you go to japan instead of colorado? olivia: yes. tom: what's it called? olivia: nisecco. brendan: i can escape the feeling that oh olivia is living a better life. olivia: our third and final answer -- tom: very good. olivia: i want to thank a very special gentle man in the control room, greg mills our graphics editor. he has done a wonderful job. it is his last day and think you very much. tom: there it is. olivia: time for the agenda where we look at stories of the

day. tom: the spread in greece is widening this week. we are not to crisis but this is ugly. it deserves focus over the weekend into monday morning. brendan: my focus right now is on the republican national committee in boca. they are supposed to come out of the gate with a republican majority in both houses and do amazing things and they have gotten hung up. tom: what's their next story? brendan: they are talking about figuring out with the messaging is around the various candidates. they will be defining the party of the course of the summer. they've got to be thinking about strategy in congress britain they were supposed to prove they were the responsible governing party. i don't think they have pulled that off yet. someone was have to figure out what their direction is. olivia: on my agenda, i am a sports fan. i am watching march madness. my team is actually playing

today -- the oklahoma sooners will be playing albany later today. number one seed duke is playing robert morris this evening so good luck. i know you've got to run out to radio. "bloomberg surveillance" will continue on radio. brendan: my big game today is date night. for the first time in a long time, my wife is coming into manhattan from long island and i am not going to watch a basketball. if anybody has an idea of something interesting and fun to do tonight, let me know. olivia: that is lovely. i will be at a sports bar -- i won't be. brendan: do you have a game you are following question mark vikram: i was disappointed to watch harvard. two disappointment very quickly. olivia: a major up stat -- upset

yesterday. that does it for "bloomberg surveillance." "in the loop with betty liu" is next. happy spring the first day of the vernal equinox. have a great weekend.

betty: good morning. we're live from a bloomberg headquarters. i'm betty liu.

we are 90 minutes away from the opening bell. we've got a great show. market watchers are saying there is a chance that the s&p will hit 2600 this year. he makes his case in a moment. the e-commerce site that was once the darling of the tech scene valued at $1 billion. what does he plan to do with it keeping up with blue mobile how the kim kardashian game is crushing it in the mobile gaming world. do you get enough of the kardashians? let's look at top stories. the prime minister talks
