get to parity and now it is back to the 114 numeral -- $1.14 neighborhood. if this is where we stayed will you hedged next year? david: i already hedged at $1.10. i looked very smart when it was $1.05 and now i don't look so smart went it is a dollar $.14 -- $1.14. i felt my investors and operating businesses needed more certainty. if you have that kind of certainty in makes it easier to make the operating decisions you need to. you have received so much praise from investors and look how well the stock has done. this massive rise of activism -- it sounds like ceo's are waiting for activists to come knocking can have you change your behavioral? not really. i have always try to run the company based on a number of perspectives. i don't want to just make this quarter. i want to make this three years

from now, five years from now. seed planting for the long-term the other thing i've tried to do this if i own this company, what would i do? if you approach it that way it allows you to ignore that your projector going on and go ok, what is the right thing to do here, and stick with your convictions. for a while investors may argue why aren't you doing this, why are you doing that. but if you stick with it you can get somewhere. i got this a lot when i first got to honeywell. everyone wanted me to sell the specialty materials business. i kept saying that it was a bifurcated business, half good, half not. what should i do the part that is good and allow another -- is someone else's share owners to get the benefit of the good business? today pmt is a $10 million business. it was $3 billion back then. that was honeywell ceo

u.s. hotel giant to set up shop. erik schatzker traveled to myanmar to see the potential and the challenges of operating in a new frontier. erik: for almost 50 years, this was off-limits to the west. like cuba, myanmar was a closed economy. now the country once known as burma is opening up. ofjust imagine the billions dollars to get energy, roads, infrastructure. that by default is a tremendous opportunity. only three years since the u.s. lifted sanctions. hilton moved fast. already there is a 200-hilton in the new capital city, a luxury beach resort on the bay of bengal, and plans for at least

three more hiltons. >> after the sanctions were lifted, there was great interest from a business perspective to come to the country, and also from a leisure perspective. erik: for decades this was what the world knew of burma. a brutal repression under a military dictator. tourism is taking off, growing by more than 400% in 10 years. the rest of the world is starting to discover myanmar's breathtaking beauty, its rich history, and of course, the food. >> this is the riverfront. look at the size of that, look at the color. they are naturally very sweet in flavor. why do people come? that's why. is missing in myanmar our first world standards. after so many is isolation, the economy can barely meet the basic needs of western companies, like hilton.

look at london and new york and it was more paper for high-rise facilities in those two cities than in the history of my career. it is a fun time to be in this business and it is all driven from urbanization. urbanization is the key. scarlet: patrick says he sees no evidence of softening in the u.s. economy despite the latest data we've been getting. according to the 14th amendment, any child born on american soil is automatically a u.s. it is. fast-forward to 150 years after the law was first passed. companies are organizing trips for pregnant chinese women to travel to the u.s. to have their babies, and uncle sam is not happy. susan burke feels about about this birth tourism in "bloomberg businessweek" and joins me now. you were introduced to countries like -- i love this name -- usa happy baby. how do these countries work? susan: they are based in the u.s. but have representatives in china who recruit primate women

and guide them through the visa process and also the customs process here in the u.s., bring them into apartments -- in this case from southern california -- give the recommendations for doctors and hospitals, for a month after the birth provide women with special foods, nannies, to make sure they have a passport for their kids, and then they go home. scarlet: what is illegal here? there is the visa and getting the visa. they are paying hospital bills, not skipping out on the bill, either. were not themen subject of a recent homeland security investigation. they are material witnesses and the agencies themselves are being accused of tax evasion, essentially money-laundering, in the visa fraud comes in with the question of whether or not the women were coached to actually lie during the visa process, and also whether they were explicit about when they were coming to the u.s., what their intentions

were. they come on tourist visas, but that is fine to come here -- scarlet: i be pregnant. susan: you can definitely be pregnant. scarlet: is there a problem in the application process where they say "you look pregnant"? susan: there is a now. so people are asking the state department to be more clear and exquisite about that. what it is not illegal to do so. generally the officers asked, what is your purpose. if they find out you want to give birth or are coming for any medical treatment, they say, can you pay for it, and then come are you attending to go home? those are the two main concerns of the state department. scarlet: let's make a decision between what is going on with birth tourism and what people say is illegal immigration -- these are not people who are coming over and plan to stay in the united states. they are going back home.

so far for all of women the intent is to get a u.s. passport for their newborn and benefit from that in terms of possibly education, eventually the child being able to come back. when the kids turned 21 they can petition for green cards with her parents. but the intent for the women is not to move to the u.s. with their kids. scarlet: it's an insurance policy for the kid for the future. -- if i werestion to have a baby in china, not that i am going to, what he or she be given chinese citizenship? susan: no. america and canada are the only developed countries, among the few countries in the world that automatically grant citizenship to anyone who was born on u.s. soil. scarlet: what kind of discussion is there on regulating this birth tourism? it has homeland security hot and bothered and i'm sure congress wants to take us up at some point, too.

challenging the 14th amendment is a serious matter and republicans over the years have tried to limit the scope but it has never gone far. the bigger kind of problem and immediate possibility for change are bringing the business you're out of the shadows and regulating it. are coming over and staying in apartments are being provided food, medical care -- scarlet: there is an ecosystem around us. people aret of benefiting. if it is they deleted, potentially a little less profitable, but out in the open. scarlet: are these u.s. or chinese committees? based in the u.s. but operate in china? susan: it is all a little murky. they have representatives in china but the bulk of their operations are here. nannies, cooks, drivers. the bulk of their business is

here, but they have to make sure there is a steady flow of women from china. scarlet: how big a priority is this for homeland security? susan: home it's a pretty has a lot.

illegal for added -- eagle ford added 2 rigs. balkan, nothing. ofrlet: the stabilization oil prices at around $60 is giving people a reason to go back to and produce more? alix: right, or bring up their wells that had been drilled but not filled. perhaps hedging production. a lot of hedging for 2015 because of the rise in oil prices. bank of america is coming out and saying you are looking at $50 oil because we have so much oversupply. scarlet: that will keep the cap on prices. ix: that is a conversation in the market. every rallies met with more production which leads to a decline in prices, keeping some kind of range bound. opec, of course, isn't cutting it all. scarlet: saudi arabia sticking to its stance -- alix: not just that. $800,000 --,

800,000 barrels a day in june. it is not just saudi arabia, it is members of opec we need money. scarlet: what about other commodities? alix: natural gas had a really interesting week. it was hot. never wednesday? -- remember wednesday? it was like 90 degrees. watch out for rig cuts here. if you cut oil rich, you might be cutting nat gas rigs. you cut therigs, you cut supplies. the dynamic to look out for in this market. scarlet: natural gas is the forgotten stepchild here. --x: it seems to be the case there is the whole other issue. the other commodity you have to watch his goal. i pointed out because it tends to move inversely to the yield. we also had a report from the word gold capital saying demand sunk in the first quarter.

investor demand was good, jewelry demand was pretty terrible. india was ok, china and the middle east were not. that is a negative. china has been touted as the make up for what india falls off. they had weaker demand of the first quarter. scarlet: what happened to the indian wedding season? alix: there was an issue about taxes. you are paying more to import. if you import a certain amount, you have to export a certain amount. the whole idea is that narendra modi's government would change all that. scarlet: you are going to stick around because i want you to take a look at this. there is a real feel-good moment at the end of the latest nato summit. foreign ministers join together and saying the modern version of "kumbaya." >> ♪ we are the world we are the children ♪ out theirhey belted rendition of the 1985 charity single "we are the world." in place of cyndi lauper, huey

now to processing good the field is set for the preakness stakes in baltimore and american phar is a 4-5 favorite. crownses won the triple 1978. chili's is revamping the look of its dishes to make them look better on social media. diner -- that is because of diners who like to take pictures of food and share them on twitter or facebook. we want to go back to the preakness. as we mentioned, america's best hope for a triple crown winner takes the track tomorrow. american pharoah has been described as a freak of a horse. the self described horsemen joins me with more. are you going to go to baltimore? david: i will not. i will certainly be wagering on the race. scarlet: your wager is on? tvid: it is going to go on

and say "i like a favorite" but i really do like the favorite. he is a standout horse and hopefully he shows it tomorrow. what you did at the last race, the kentucky derby, was to look at how may times -- it is not a metric everyone pays attention to. comes not something that up a lot but this year as we watch the races several times, it was clear that the jockey really was very aggressive in using the web, realogy -- in using the whip, really to a fault. you have got to put the whip away and be confident as a rider. it has caused a lot of buzz in the last couple weeks. i don't know if i want to call it animal cruelty per se, but you will not the american pharoah be whipped 32 times tomorrow. scarlet: but the jockey fell to the need to do it last time. he will not be reluctant to pull

it out again. david: he will not. as someone who was watched tens of thousands of races in my life, probably too many, a good writer really doesn't need the whip get both hands on the reins and drive the horse to the wire. in that case the jockey was clearly nervous and out of ideas and kept flailing away. i would be shocked -- even if the horses in a tough fight, you would not see hit 32 times. i will let you know on monday. scarlet: the last triple crown was back in 1978 could what has been the biggest change in the was racing industry that may be preventing the next triple crown winner? david: a bunch of trance but the biggest is one you are seeing here this weekend. back when secretariat was winning the triple crown, all the horses that ran in the derby would proceed to run on in the

belmont. nowadays, what a lot of people have been doing his say all right to my rate in the derby, did ok, got beat. of thehold my horse out preakness, seed the preakness to the kentucky derby winner, and when at belmont and have a fresh and rested horse and attack there. you have seen a time and time and time again that be fresh and rested horse at the belmont defeats the derby winner. that is a big change. when the secretariat was running in the belmont for the triple crown, he was facing the same tired horses. the order of california chrome after he was defeated went on the state -- went on this and big rant of how unfair it was, that it was cheating to withhold horses from the preakness. scarlet: but there are no rules against that. david: no, it is perfectly fine. but it is true, the modern thoroughbred is not quite as durable and sturdy -- scarlet: what is that?

david: interbreeding. there is so much at session with the breeding for speed could you have lost some of the durability -- scarlet: it is a trade-off. david: pictures years ago used to pitch every day. you see the same thing with the horses. iny are pampered and babied ways they were decades ago. scarlet: what is the distinction for the jockey between preparing for the derby and preakness? espinosa'slook at case, he was the rider of american pharoah. everyone wants to keep him p inned. in the derby he had options. he now has to get his horse running out of the gate and spread the field out and figure out where the ghost from there. if the whole thing gets bunched
