on thursday, european leaders will hold an emergency summit on how to stem migrant traffic. in baltimore, six police officers have been suspended in a death of a man they have arrested. the police report does not mention how the injury may have occurred. activists marched through baltimore police headquarters. the fbi says there is no reason for a civil rights investigation into the death of a volunteer sheriff's deputy. the deputy says he mistakenly fired his handgun at the man instead of using a stun gun. brendan: google is making major changes in how their search engine works on your smartphone. today, it will favor sites that are mobile from the. that could mean to changes in the way that websites are ranked and hurt smaller businesses that do not have mobile friendly sites. google warned of the change in february saying the new all go rhythm would have a significant impact. the penalty phase of the boston

marathon bombing trial begins today. jurors will decide whether dzhokhar tsarnaev gets the death penalty. the lawyers expect to argue that he was under the influence of a dominant brother. rebecca gregory lost a leg in the bombing. rebecca: there is life after bad things. if i can be someone's inspiration, that is what i want you for the rest of my life. brendan: rebecca says next year she hopes to run all 26 miles. under armour reports results creeping up on adidas. at 7:30, it is verizon's turn. tom: lots going on around the world. a better risk on field to the market. 2100 on s&p 500. euro-dollar weaker. we will get to greece with

francine lacqua in a bit. $56 a barrel, a bid on oil. on to the next green. the vix, near that 12 level of more complacency. two year yields churn. and then there is greece. the three-year yield in greece is 28.8%. that defies description. we will try to describe it in the 6:00 hour. let's go over to the bloomberg terminal and look at the u.s. economy and what matters. brendan, help me out, existing homes -- going back 20 years. i do not know where normal is. boom, boom down we go, a going this is -- ugly we are sort of back to here. but what is normal and housing? brendan: as we get used economic certainties. one is we measure the strength

of the economy by the strength of the housing economy. that linkage may not still be there. it is hard to tell whether we can assume housing is a proxy for the economy. tom: you are in the search right now. do we get back to this nirvana of 2005? olivia: in the recovery of the housing market, there has been a decoupling between existing home sales and new home sales. supply is much tighter in new home sales. tom: the key thing is where we live is not normal. we have to say ourselves -- top ourselves. brendan: we assumed before he looked into the data that houses were getting smaller. but that is an adult -- anecdotally true. at that is not really true. tom: do you need a super kitchen? olivia: i need a super closet. a $4000 studio in chelsea is getting smaller. that is not normal. a $4000 a monthal rental.

tom: we will continue this discussion on interest rates and housing. he still has a job along with 99% of the world's bond strategist ira of credit suisse waits for higher interest rates. maybe mortgages are lower. investment managers. we begin the day asking the arch question when will rates rise? let's save the fed stuff for later. in the housing business, that means lower mortgage rates but there is a lot of secondary conditions. what happens when your rates rise to the housing industry? ian: if our rates rise and affordability of housing goes down. you wind up with new entrants into the market that find it more to call to buy a new house. some of the studies i've been talking about like a lineal -- like millenials. i'm looking in this direction.

so, and millenials aren't as interested in housing houses as their parents. one of the reasons as they saw the house prices can go up and down. prior to that, housing prices went up. brendan: you will always find a welcome here for millenial bashing on this desk. ira: let's talk about housing and interest rates. if you wind up with 50% or 60% of people owning houses in a certain generation, that is point to have an effect on a forward bases. olivia: whether or not you agree with sam zell is is it normal i would say it is because of affordability and millenials are saddled with student debt. nobody is living with their parents. brendan: as rates go up, it will make houses less affordable. the problem for the last five years has been terms and conditions and not just the price. nothing indicates that is going

to change. ira: when you created something like the consumer financial protection bureau which are supposed to make it safer for people to get mortgages, it also means that it is harder to get mortgages. and we are not going back to the 2000's. maybe we go back to the 1980's. tom: to our viewers and listeners, dupont with a 4% dividend increase. ibm with raising the dividend. is your world for our viewers competing with dividend income growth or is a yield still yield ? ira: the yield is a you. it depends on who you are. dividends tend to be because they are part of equities and can go up and gowndown, you have to have some kind of premium and should have a premium in order to own -- tom: you brought this up about ibm's earnings.

if old into a rate structure. -- it all falls into a rate structure. olivia: that is one of the big criticism of ultralow rates -- what it does is incentivize companies bu toy back shares. ira: it happens quite a lot. last year, the increase in the amount of corporate debt outstanding, a lot of that debt was used to buy back shares. ecb's buyback programs -- tom: is that a good or evil thing? ira: it would be better if those companies would issue debt to invest in capital expenditures. olivia: and grow the business rather than giving it to people who have a favorable tax rate. brendan: i'm wondering how he is on a first name basis with jenny ramadi. well, let's turn to europe. we are going to talk about greece but let's talk about the periphery. are you convince the fundamentals of these reforms that have begun and spain and in

ireland? ira: some things are better. the fiscal situation and places like portugal and ireland are better than they were a couple months ago. or a couple quarters ago. so, i think greece is not necessarily going to be contained. there will be a lot of volatility. but i think the chances of spill over to the rest of the periphery is not that bad. you will see some volatility if something goes particularly wrong in greece but it would not be as dire if this happened a year ago. olivia: we are waiting for the german 10-year to go negative. they put a 2% ceiling on the 10-year? ira: we we are not fans of selling bonds. over the nexus six months, we will have a significant amount of carry -- over the next six months we will have a significant amount of carry trades. tom: is mr. gundlocke, that all

of the real economy impacts the value analysis. is he correct that yields are going to drive to a new normal? ira: is the new normal 1950 or 1980? that is important. the unusual period in yields over the forever history of the world the last 300 yea rs, what you can see is the 1970's and 1980's were the unusual period where yields were high. most market participants if they did not live through that period they learned about that and they think it is normal. it is not. brendan: we looked back to the housing market. no matter what we are talking about, any economic indicator,

which normal are we allowed to look after? ira: that is fair. the level of rates today is only somewhat lower than where it should be based on fundamentals. tom: oliva waaia was off yesterday. did you run a marathon in boston? ira: it was patriots' day. tom: he has got a revolutionary war tie on. suzy welch and brendan greeley and i suggest that this book is maybe the surprise of your spring season. it is the real-life nbmba. i was surprised. jack welch in our next hour. what is our twitter question of the day? this is a cool question. what have you learned from the chemical engineer known as jack welch? stay with us. good morning. ♪

overnight, we spoke to former ecb chief jean claude trichet. trichet: nobody is optimistic on greece. we have to be totally realistic and it all depends on the maturing of the position of the greek government understanding that in any case if it wants to deliver growth and jobs which is the main goal of that government, it has to produce recovery program that -- olivia: for more on the greek saga we are joined by francine lacqua. she joins us from our bureau in london. the ecb is looking at ways to rein in emergency assistance to greece. is this a sign that mario draghi is losing patience with francine lacqua tsipras? francine: it is. good morning to you.

it is important to say that this program has not been put to the government counsel yet but it shows the ecp is more and more uneasy with what is happening in greece in negotiations between creditors and the government. it seems to suggest that they are at least thinking of a plan on how to reduce their loss. this is significant because if you look at the different life boats available to the g reek government it is the ela, the emergency liquidity assistance provided by the ecb that is so important. greek banks have to go through the national bank. if we are talking about haircuts, that will make a difference about how much they will demand but it also means that in acaese of default, it will protect the ecb. tom: with haircuts, we are talking about real pain for real people. how close are we to a restructuring? francine: no one is talking

about restructuring. when you look at the haircuts in this context, it would be for the greek banks the banks would have to either issue more t-bills or find a bridge to perform that. i think you are right. we need to talk about restructuring but i have not really heard that word return any -- between any of the politicians or any ecb policy members because it is considered a bad word. the academics talk about it, but we're not talking about it. we should. but we are trying to get over, to get that lifeboat for greece. tom: in this conversation, what is taking so long to get to what the experts say has to happen? brendan: francine has to explain this dance. we are talking about the european commission, the ecp, and the member states. it is important to draw these distinct is the most helpful of

those three institutions? francine: it is down to three parties. it is the euro nations that have the most to lose. if i give you a pound for two pounds, then the other guy is going to want to have it also f or towwo pounds. name talking about the other euro nations that would a fair treatment. in the greater scheme of thing, greece is small. you could write off their debt. that is not the problem. the issue is the politics behind it. olivia: we believe it there. thank you so much, francine lacqua. tom: i think that every day we do greece. brendan: every day gets a little worse. tom: jack and suzy welch. yes, we will speak to mr. we lch about general electric.

sometimes adequate experience with for guidance? ira: i think a lot of it tied their hands. they were not able to do what they hoped, for example, end quantitative easing. a lot of the for guidance experience have worked on keeping volatility in the rates market low. that tends to depress the level of yields. and all of that was designed to help the economy. i think the economy -- if you look at the level of the economy. 3% gdp growth, 1.5% fccore inflation. the last time we were at those level, the funds rate was at 1%. that was the early 2000's. tom: not there. ira: rates are still low. brendan: i want to make sure understand this. you think that for guidance worked in the sense that it kept volatility low? ira: correct. tom: i want to look at the two year chart.

making something to do. it is not just about the fit. cloth has to be shaped formed. so, traditionally, it is not quite the way now, but is to be four years of learning to make in a work room. a further three years of the cutting room. and that would be combined with college where you learn to dress. brendan: he start sewing is a taylor. only then do you learn to approach a human being and try to figure out what a suit looks like. how has that changed? you did this legendary apprenticeship at anderson and schappert on savile row. you take on your own apprentices. how is that changed? thomas: a lot of their young people are very keen. there is a lot of interest in tactile professions. people love the ability to create something and make something. and especially with the internet, there is a lot more understanding of the craft, rather than being an expensive product.

people know what those into it more now. but we struggle a bit because people are very keen but when it comes to ok, let's start the process, and they realize how far they have got to go. you say to somebody after three years, ok your career, if it is from floor to ceiling, you have got ask inches off the floor in this first three or four years. that causes a lot of people today to want to jump ship. so it is difficult to get people to see it right through now. brendan: and this is a crisis for your trade because we're all buying of the rack. that is what i'm wearing now. and there are not enough people trained, willing to go through these seven or 10-year apprenticeships. there are not enough people to do it. thomas: it is a simple fact. to make things even worse, after i had been in a trade for 10 or 15 years, i thought i had quite a good angle on it. now i look back at what the work

i did 15 years ago and i say, it was terrible. so, basically, that is a minimum. olivia: that's style. thomas: it is not just style. it is technical things as well. tom: i want you to sell me . i spent $1800 on a suit. you go, i would like you to spend double that. why? what do i get? thomas: i think with savile row and what we may, it is far more personal. basically, the cutter, which is myself, which is the part i play in it, i look after the whole process from start to finish. then we have an individual who will make the jacket completely. we will have an individual who will make the waistcoat and the trousers. it really is nearly all done by hand. so, it is little bit like, you get very top end cars where you

get certain individuals that work on the engine. the engine is given a stamp from the maker. so it is that type of thing. the process involved with it. when we say the hours involved, that's like a minimum. because sometimes we put a garment together. we will put the sleeves and look at the collar and say i'm not happy. redo it again. which is another reason why we struggle to find people to learn the craft. olivia: certainly your suit ias very beautiful. these two guys do not usually shop looking so preppy. these are not tom's designs. this is brendan saturday night. this is his style. tom keene. brendan: how did this happen? olivia: look at the face on tom keene.

they are just losing patience or saying that they are losing patience as a warning sign to greece so that we do have the two sites coming together, or whether they are actually losing pace, but what you are talking about is that nice bloomberg school saying that the ecb is now looking at putting haircuts so that they actually take a shorter loss on the emergency liquidity assistance for greece to default and this is something we are now looking at. i think people are just talking about a possible default much more than they were even a week ago, tom. tom: francine, thank you so much, francine lacqua in london. the dow at 18,000, oil finding a bit, and yes, the sign of shortage of german debt, somewhat tighter than the european cutie. our lisa abramowicz holds courts, where yield and he'll change it is a be-all and end-all. i will rip up the script, lisa what was it like yesterday on the floor when missr. mider wont the pulitzer prize?
