3:13 pm
the earnings forecast was disappointing. shares down 3%, among the worst performers in the s&p 500 today. were short as well as a prescription. thee also looking at contract electronics maker. those numbers disappointing analysts. they are down 7% in today's session. the biggest disappointment is oracle. toy try to migrate customers the cloud and see some speed bumps. shares down 5%. they are the worst performer in the s&p 500. part of this had to do with the migration of customers to the cloud and how it recognizes the revenue. we have two of the revenue streams. software as ae service revenue. a cloud-based revenue. these are software licenses.
3:14 pm
this is license revenue recognized as one charge when the client buys a license. this is a new cloud-based revenue that is more of a prescription -- subscription model you get it monthly or model.rly - you get it monthly or quarterly. migration andbig a bigger drop in the software license revenue than anticipated. i spoke with an analyst at bloomberg intelligence and that is where you can find this chart on your bloomberg terminal. one of the issues is perhaps the company did not manage expectations as it navigates this shift run the license-based revenue to the subscription model which eventually should bear more fruit for the company. they were so positive on
3:15 pm
the conference call. it was like happy days all over the place. so much fornk you that. let's get a look at top stories crossing the terminal. the supreme court coming out with a ruling on child abuse. statements children make to teachers about possible abuse can be used as evidence even if the child does not testify in court. the ruling makes it easier for prosecutors to win convictions. alix: pope francis issued his statement on the environment today all step he is calling for abled cultural -- abled -- a bold cultural revolution. he says it is turning the earth into a pile of filth. the statement was criticized conservatives who say the pope should not weigh in on such controversial issues. scarlet: the midwest bracing for more rain and flooding.

3:17 pm
the same that passed last week. that was never the controversial part. the taa thing is off the table and will go back to the senate to be voted on again and that causes problem because some democrats are worried about the fact the worker assistance part will never get back in the package. this could still pass. we will not know until early next week but i don't be president is happy about what happened today. still a pretty long road to get it to where it is wanted to be. susan rice spoke about hillary clinton and her role in the agreement. >> we have been negotiating the transpacific partnership agreement. to bring that information, we are looking forward to obtaining trade promotions authority from congress.
3:18 pm
that is another significant accomplishment. >> she was instrumental in moving the trade agenda forward. >> in implementing the rebalance to asia to which the partnership is a part. since she has left, our trade representative has been leading the effort to get that deal done. it is almost done and when it is, we will want to be able to submit it to congress for their approval in trade promotion authority. alix: hillary clinton has kept quiet on where she stands of this legislation. how will this affect her campaign? john: she has not been quiet, more mushy-mouthed. we asked susan yesterday to speak of hillary clinton's big accomplishments and one she mentioned was from the clip we just played. she has been a free trader throughout her life.
3:19 pm
now she is trying to keep her options open when she knows a lot of the democratic basis against doing the free trade deal. if one of her greatest compliments is having been involved in the agent rebound and being on the side of tpp, it puts her in an awkward position to say i am not sure if i am for it or not. i guess that is where she has to be politically right now. she wants to figure out where thevotes are and what final deal looks like. it is probably the smart play right now for her politically. scarlet: a good technical term for it. mushy. tonighte to tune in on all due respect. alix: the treasury department

3:24 pm
on unwanted robo calls. the commission move forward with a proposal that would allow consumers to block all those annoying calls and text and is one of the biggest actions on the issue since the 2003 no, registry. -- no call registry. >> we have all been there. on unwanted calls -- unwanted calls are the number one consumer point -- complaint to the sec. we spoke with the fcc and the ftc. concrete roboe call numbers but the ftc said it is certainly billions each year and they know that based on lawsuits they have fought. their biggest case was against caribbean cruise lines in florida not to be confused with reputable
3:25 pm
companies. this company hit 1.5 billion calls in just five months. half $1 million has gone back to consumers so far. ance 2003, nearly half billion dollars has been awarded to customers but only about 29 million has been collected. that is because defendants tied their money or spend it on luxury cars when they get the money. technology, robo calls are cheap. it costs less than one penny in minute to make a voice over internet call. -- technologyans can help to defend against robo calls. the sec has okayed blocking technology and the ftc has launched a challenge for developers to make a tool to do just that.
3:26 pm
one thing you can do now is to add your number to this -- the national do not call registry. 270 million members are registered. scarlet: do you have a landline? alix: i do. we never use it. we just screen it for telemarketers. one time someone called me before 7:00 a.m. and i was like don't do that. scarlett, good to have you. coming up, we are talking the state of greece.

3:32 pm
the banks that change their interest call right after this week's federal reserve meeting. that and more coming up. speaking and luxembourg, christine lagarde said what is missing from greek talks. >> we can only arrive at a resolution if there is a dialogue. the key emergency in my view is to restore a dialogue with adults in the room. alix: adults in the room. ouch. the head of microstrategy joins me now. it was not her only. the greece finance minister as well. are you prepping for a default? come towardhey will an interim conclusion. alix: how?
3:33 pm
it seems everything is the opposite. >> the imf is talking tough. when you look at what they do, they first send a nasty note reminding you of the importance of paying debt. it is a six month process. there is no one coming to repossess anything. defaulting is not that big a deal and i think it will scare them. the goal is to take the debt out of the imf and stuff it to the e fs and esm. everyone realizes how bad the situation is. merkel is out there trying to get a deal. alix: how could it not be a big ?eal if greece defaults they might get a few months before they are officially in default but no one has ever done that before. >> that is part of the reason.
3:34 pm
it is not cricket. there is no teeth to any of the rules. the imfere is no way can actually get their money back. if greece defaults, they don't get paid. end of story. >> they go through a process of lawsuits. there is no easy way to get the money back. running a primary surplus so almost all of the money they are asking for is just to go back to repay the lender's so greece can function. i am sure china or russia would love to step in. alix: why hasn't all of this gone down yet? greece has the upper hand so a deal will get done because europe needs it to get done. >> i think it will take some time. part of what is going on is they january so iin think they will get some good advice but it took a long time
3:35 pm
to get the data together. europeans are good on -- big on politics, rhetoric. they are very weak when it comes to facts and figures and now they're at the point they're looking up the facts and figures and everyone can see it is unsustainable for greece and will not be able to make their payments. they have to come -- they will have to kick the can for six months to work out a plan. alix: do you think this is just posturing than? they're are just doing this to go back to the constituents and say we talked tough? >> they have to so they can come back and say they drag it to , worked so hard -- got it to the line, worked so hard. deals happen when the leaders meet and the leaders will do a summit and i think that comes to be the perfect time they announce a temporary resolution. alix: where would be the place we would want to invest money? >> you look at europe and
3:36 pm
european banks. i like european banks, credit. alix: not great banks? little sketchy. too small and volatile. i would look at spanish, italian banks. from there, the credit , the high-yield bonds. there is a european high-yield. think there are a lot of opportunities. you will see treasuries fell off so i think we want to be a bit careful in the treasury space. alix: much more optimistic. eventually a deal will happen. a great day to get your perspective. thank you. coming up on the bloomberg market day, a day that rocked silicon valley.
3:37 pm
3:39 pm

3:40 pm
markets. 15 minutes before the closing bell with julie hyman. the euroooking at today versus the dollar. higher despite the action we have seen. julie: i mean, this press conference seems to have been going on for hours and they keep making all of these incremental comments about greece's assigned to put pressure on greece also saying they will be meeting and a minor emergency summit. is the deal getting done or not? markets reacting as though we don't have that conclusive news yet because there is this perception they will be a deal. u.s. stocks are not reacting to this really at all. take a look at the major averages. the rally hold steady throughout the session today. the nasdaq still trading at a record.
3:41 pm
and dow are still holding steady with gains when ahmad percent. take a look at the s&p 500. we came off the high of the session a little bit when the headlights came out but still the li na much reaction to all of these incremental headlines still not much reaction to all of these incremental headlines on greece. also look at the groups within the s&p 500. were lower stocks today. you can see a lot of green on your screen because all of the higher.re trading the two best-performing groups are health care and utilities. todayou look at the are performance for those groups, you see quite a divergence. health care stocks are the best performance up for the year to date. utilities are the worst performing sector for the year to date, down 8% as health care
3:42 pm
rallied by 11% in part because we have seen a lot of deals in pharmaceuticals and speculation there will be deals and managed care companies. theher record to mention is russell 2000. some investors have hope the pace of rate increases will be gradual even though it is data dependent. we should probably look at what rates are doing today. take a look at a tenure. rates moving higher. a little bit of a different picture being painted by the action in the stock market and in the treasury market today. perhaps treasury traders taking the fed will be a little more aggressive but of course not unusual to have a divergence there. traders dealing with that
3:43 pm

3:47 pm
money, that will not last forever. >> companies will fail but you can only lose one time or money. service a valuable new and that makes me roll better. emily: you put -- world better. emily: what do you see out there that could be the next google, amazon? .> there are three areas one of them is a revolution in education. it is one of the largest parts of our economy and well-positioned for improvement. emily: there have not been many multibillion education-- >> know but there will be. second, on-demand services. dash, look at door these devices are a remote control for the world. you can summon services and take

3:50 pm
3:52 pm
alix: a huge day for nasdaq is that away from closing at an all-time high. if it bit in its trading debut and part of that company's appeal is it is profitable which is unusual when it comes to tech ipos lately. record high at the nasdaq. why today? we were talking about this before we went on. us they willtold be taking this very slow and don't pay attention to the start date. that is good for stocks.
3:53 pm
expectations continue to do well, especially in areas like health care and technology and innovative consumer discretionary areas which are heavy in the nasdaq so it is not surprising you see it in that group. alix: would you qualify it as a fundamental rally? it is a fundamental rally. ultimately, earnings will come through fine over the next year or two and that is important. what the fed told you yesterday they will not take the punch bowl away or if they do, they will do it slowly we can chase them down the how. alix: what kind of sectors can move without greece that are moving on true, topline growth in this environment? is exactly where we are focused. secular winners. companies that don't need a good economy. i think we see as much as i am bullish on the market, i am not on the underlying economy.
3:54 pm
fed will come in at less than 2% gdp. what are we looking at? real bigre is the winner. big chunks of technology but really new technology companies and also at all consumer discretionary but more innovative consumer discretionary names. we are the leader on a global basis on those. alix: two of those described fit bit. yesterday, we had the huge spike. you are well below that now. 2976. what do you make of an ipo that cannot sustain that up at the top? >> and not an individual stock guide but the theme throughout is whereetionary phase healthy living is so important
3:55 pm
and you see the same theme in supermarkets. why would supermarkets be doing well? people are so focused on their health and healthy eating and living that they're willing to pay up and that is good for margins, revenue. in a slower environment come it is harder to find margins. -- find revenues. point do you get concerned? the private market -- at one point -- what point does that bleed into the public market? market is about a 17 multiple. the range has been anywhere from a low of six to a high of 24. it is a wide historical range. i don't think you have a problem on valuations until you see those getting closer to 20. we are not near that.
3:56 pm
if you look at the spread between equity valuation and on valuation, there is a huge region to think stock pd's will continue to go higher. are we never going to see it? >> i think this is going to go a lot longer. 1990's, 2500 days without a 10% pullback. we are far from that. alix: thank you so much. the close is coming up next on the bloomberg market day. nasdaq may close at a record high. ♪ . .
3:59 pm
4:00 pm
[bell ringing] we'd did it. you are looking at a record day for the nasdaq, setting an all-time high, settling out at 5132, of i 67 points. really, you could blame this on the fed. yes, things are getting better, but they could be better. that fueled pessimism that ironically field stocks. a three-day rally, the s&p and the dow having their days in months. all of those sectors finishing in the green. here is joe weisenthal. joe: really driving home that points -- you look at the classics, animal spirits
