10:06 am
there is a further upside ahead. it is a gradual recovery but there is further upside. scarlet: what does this chart suggest about the cyclical nature of housing? >> i think it clearly points to the overbuilding or excess we had seen during the bubble warehousing rose despite the fact that the economy was in a recession. continued to reach levels that were high relative to the state of the economy. that has reversed so you had to have that for some time but we made up for that overshoot and we are at a point where you can see more normal housing market whatever that means. matt: maybe it means people who are bearish will say that millennials will not buy houses. they said that about automobiles but it turns out to be the opposite. is it a delayed response and houses? >> one of the big distinctions between auto sales and home sales is credit.

combined with apple is creating concerns broadly for technology earnings. i also want to look at a company technologies, and oil services company that is trading at its lowest in five years. the company says earnings fell 15% quarter over quarter because of a continued decline in the north american land drilling market. we are also looking on the plus side at chipotle this morning. the stock fell sharply in after hours after same-store sales missed analyst estimates. it has turned higher. the company has said things are trending higher this quarter and announced a share buyback. if you look at the bloomberg terminal, you see the trend we have seen in cop will sales. -- comparable sales. falling thisgains

10:35 am
more, it is certainty. when you have as long as it is taking for the will making to get into place, that has been frustrating and i appreciate the frustration, but i think most would agree that it makes more sense to try get it right then to try and get it pick. the frustration is tempered by the fact that i think they're doing a good job and taking their time. if i could wish anything, i was sick and move along quickly. tom: you and your father represented the bank of greenwich, connecticut, for years. is he your frenemy? are you want conversational terms? >> absolutely. i run into them on a number of occasions and they have had frustrations with costs associated with implementation. i'm not going to tell you which of the major banks it was the call the ceo and said i thought it would never make the call, but i want -- but i'm a better bank today because of your law. i have lower leverage, better capital, more liquid assets, and landing is up 30%.
