10:14 am
is going to try to keep expenses contained. the shares are indeed surging. take a look at the bloomberg terminal to see why i highlighted both of these. take a look, these are the movers in the s&p 500. big green bars here. that's because both classes of shares are included in the major indices. any contribution that google makes to the s&p, to the nasdaq, to any other indices, it contributes twice. why does this happen? they forwarded me a press release from march of last year. now we are going to start including both classes of shares.

10:18 am
shot. he had a big slug of stock when goldman went public. about half of it is the value of the company he has now. is his own of it divested assets. do we have any idea whether he is outperforming his own company? michael: unclear. assumptionervative about his ability as an outside investor. brendan: we have seen the big report. michael: is looking good for morgan stanley because what has outperformed his investment banking and equity trading. morgan stanley is much more weighted to equity trading and investment banking.

10:23 am
shanghai rose 3.5%. the chinese government expanding to extend collapse. are looking ate these composite numbers, 19% of those stocks are still not trading. are worst several hitters out of the lineup, that is going to increase your average. erik: i want to play an interview we had with john cochran at the bloomberg institution, works with john taylor. , we know where he lines up in terms of economists -- terms ofmally economists. here's what he said about what we have seen take place in chinese stocks. all the things governments do by accident they are doing on purpose to inflate asset prices. their lending people money to buy stocks. they are banning short still --
10:24 am
short sales of stocks. usually these sorts of things end badly. erik: we learned china has a stabilization fund of 500 billion dollars to put to work in the stock market, largely let thy lending people money to buy stocks but also possibly directly investing in the stocks. my thinking is what took them so long. that might actually work. all these other things have dimmed the appeal of the stock market and made it seem like it is no longer a free market, if it ever was, because you can't sell what you buy. brendan: it was a management rise, so you have been talking about the fall they have been pulling off in the last week and a half. the rise was encouraged. consumers.hinese itk: we talk about it as if were a chinese phenomenon. the federal reserve wanted people to buy stocks to.
10:25 am
the fed and decided to inflate its balance sheet to $4 trillion. a lot of money went into the equity market. it took them a few weeks but they finally figured out money is the answer to this problem. me question is always for whether or not the stock movement is in anyway tethered to the actual chinese economy. number is important the numbers they released yesterday. china always had a target for gdp growth at 7%. low and behold at 7%. they showed a lot of skepticism about these numbers. thedan: to what degree does price appreciation in the chinese stock market reflect what is happening in the real economy? -- ieory it should be don't want to get into theory.
10:26 am
the chinese stock market underperformed dramatically until a few months ago. one is the lack of institutional investors. you have more consumers invest in that market, you don't say have pension funds are things like that dissipating equity. they were considering putting china in that index. it is going to push that back. all the management they have seen that the last week is going to cause them -- erik: so that he raised a similar question, how long is it going to take for the chinese to become one of the world's reserve currency's? braided bank we will see. -- brendan: we will see.

10:32 am
tackle bell debt tocco -- taco is doing better. all that and more. last month, the u.s. supreme court ruled against the epa plan to cut mercury pollution saying the epa did not consider the cost. the decision is leading industry to challenge another plan to clean power plants which would curb carbon pollution by 2020. public service enterprise group owns a disturbance electricity and produces natural gas in the northeast and mid-atlantic and it's the ninth largest utility owner by market value. we have the chairman and ceo with us. let's look back at the decision that the supreme court made.
10:33 am
do you agree with that? did the epa failed to consider the cost? >> i don't think that was an accurate outcome. there was a tremendous amount of conversation throughout the posting of the rule and the discussions of the role as to what it would mean as cost to customers. whether that fit a legal definition of what it means to review costs, i'm not a next for. cost toquestion, the comply was an integral part of the dialogue throughout the process. brendan: this is a broader issue in general, looking at regulators in d.c. with the move to consider the marginal cost of regulation. are they getting that right? >> i think for the most part they are. the epa has been constructive to talk about anything from air to water issues. the bigger issue is how long it takes to put forth a clear set of rules by which we can make investment decisions. after theargue that
10:34 am
clean air act amendments of 1990, we still don't know what the set of rules are that we need to comply with because they have gone through multiple iterations and the courts have had a few x of the ball -- if you wax at the ball. i'm concerned about the time. definition of uncertainty is we don't know how excited we are about the uncertainties. >> that's fair. this has played it some -- itself out on something as prescriptive as mere kerry. what does that mean? brendan: let's move on to carbon. the president has released his plan -- his clean power plant. >> we are advocates of congressional action to create national standards for carbon. it's global climate change we are talking about not just u.s. brendan: we have to sit here and admit the reality that
10:35 am
congressional action on climate change is not going to happen. >> absolutely right. i would much rather have congress doing something then the epa. it's better for democracy to have a broader mandate but i don't see a forthcoming. what is the right way and washington to deal with the reality of climate change? >> this is the second best approach. i agree with you. what we would like to see is to the extent possible, little more of a tightening of the targets on a state-by-state basis. there will be some real strange behaviors. you have one state at a target of zero and another tape at a start in a 500 pounds per megawatt hours in another state at a target of 1500 pounds per megawatt hour. it will simply shift power production to the states with easier targets. brendan: i have read that psg could do arbitrage. >> it will be other states as well. commerce --d that
10:36 am
congress has not given us the tools but you got to have more rationalization of the disparity in the targets on a state-by-state basis. brendan: what's the right message for america on climate change? >> the science is compelling. that a report this morning 2014 was a warm year with more extreme weather conditions and further diminish and of the glaciers. you have to adopt a no regret strategy and let's take action. brendan: how do you have that conversation with duke energy or some of your partners like the edison electric institute which has been skeptical about the science of climate change? 10 years ago, five years ago, we were talking about this in earnest. what you folks argued against his the dash to sgas. it would create a big demand and gas. it is two dollars per mbt so the
10:37 am
dash to gas is nothing to be feared. brendan: there was a report that i read this morning that rig counts were plummeting but had somewhat stabilized in the various shale deposits. where do you see that affecting the price of natural gas? did not see the ubs reports s have goneough rig down but the productivity per well has gone up. it's not just a question of rig count. this is no longer in your you demobilize the rigs, it takes a long time tore-mobilized. you are essentially turning a valve so the producers are quite sensitive to pricing. that's why you see prices not going much below $1.80 and never getting much higher than $3.25. the ability to produce at positive economics of a low price. brendan: fascinating
10:38 am
conversation about the realities of climate change, some of the work i recommend you read about is coming from bloomberg new energy finance. adopt a nophrase " regret strategy." we are approaching that particularly with the paris talks in the fall which is an important time. ralph izzo, i thank you for being with us and being honest. that was the chairman of pseg. still ahead, earnings season is upon us and what companies are the most volatile around the season and you will find that out next. ♪

10:43 am
the major averages but these add up to the old google. the market cap is about $416 billion and that means that together, they comprise about 2% of the s&p 500. that is why both of them are listed to be crystal clear. it'su look at the imap, clear what's going on today. information technology is green and nearly everything else is red. energy and materials are a drag on the major averages. look no further than the underlying commodities to find out why. oil prices are lower again today and we're set for the third straight week of the kleins for wti -- week of declines for the wti. there is the continuing prospect of a glut in the oil market especially with iran coming back online. if you look at brent crude, it is set for its longest run of weekly declines since january. gold prices bear mentioning

earnings related in five move. you take a company and you look at where their options are trading. there are calls to buy the stock and the puts to sell them and you get a number called implied volatility. brendan: it's expectations. >> it's where the options market is rising in the type of move they expect out of a stock. in this case it looks at the volatilities around the date of the earnings. it's the options expiring one month or two after the earnings report. it's amazing what spits out. it tells us what the options market is and the size of the move they are expecting. very near the top of the list for the s&p 500 was netflix. options were pricing at 9.5% move. it was obviously more than that. it will not be 100% accurate but it gives you a good idea of where the market is looking for big moves in following earnings. brendan: netflix did what they
10:49 am
expected. you proved the tool works. what happens next? some you want to look for of the big expected moves coming up, the biggest iskeurig. the options imply more than a 10% move in that stock. over the history of their earnings releases, it's not necessarily that surprising. their average move after an earnings report is 12%. that's either up or down or in those are big moves for a single day in a stock. their average surprise or how much they beat or miss estimates is 20%. that is on the high end so that tells you why they expected these things. list of we will have a where to expect some volatility right after the earnings season. regan is showing a charming amount of faith in options traders. still ahead, taco bell has

10:53 am
that could use the opportunity of having a job. we have joined this coalition because we think it's critical for our future leaders to get jobs early on in their careers. it helps them build skills and discipline and frankly, like so many of us, sometimes that's where you find a person that becomes a mentor or someone that believes in you and can help you change the direction of where you are going in life. brendan: usually, the reason for jobsmatch in availability they go unfilled is because of a lack of skills and training. taco bellany like which relies largely on low skilled labor am a what is it you can do to get those positions filled? focus one of our big areas as education and future leader development. our jobs are great jobs for somebody getting someone going in their career and the great place where they can see the importance of education and the

importance of teamwork. we have a robust training program. we bring young people into our organization. thatf our employees are in sweet spot between 16-24 years old. when we invest in them, in return, we invest in their community and what you discover is that they stay in school and get their high school degree and, in some cases, they go on to be big leaders at taco bell or yum! brands or big leaders in their communities whether that is a doctor or an electrician or a lawyer but playing a huge lowland their local community as well. brendan: one of the stories for wages in the last year or so has been other low skilled consumer companies like walmart and target raising their wages above minimum wage to hold onto labor. where do you see that going for taco bell? brian: in every market, we see
