of attractive financing. you try to place that amount of debt in a market, it would be more challenging. it is a timing issue. the big question is, is the world evolving so rapidly that even this deal does not get them where they need to be. scarlet: alex sherman broke this story and he joins us from san francisco. what's interesting is that dell and emc are combining and getting bigger at a time when the trend is to break into smaller and more specialized companies. for instance, he would pocket -- hewlett-packard, google or even. toyed with the notion of spinning out its share of the group that derives quite a bit of value from. activist investor elliott and advised emc not to do this deal. elliott is now supporting the deal. after emc pushed back hard on

the idea of spinning off vmware. vmware shares today of and over the past few days, they are down significantly. i think vmware investors would have preferred the spin out option, thinking they would be able to derive more from that. details of this deal is that a shareholder of emc will receive share, about 24 of which will be in cash and nine dollars will be in a tracking that trades with emc's interest in vmware. emc owned about 80% of vmware and still on about 70%. the ownership will now be dell. alix: talking about what this might mean going forward, emc has a good business and a bad business. they have their old storage business that is not doing well. it is weighing on their business

growing faster like the newer storage unit. what is dell going to do? are they going to spin it off or absorb it? 's plan, if you believe them, by acquiring emc's storage business, which is geared towards large enterprise can do is, what dell now repurpose and start marketing the storage business to small businesses and medium-sized businesses. connected by selling servers. they say they can have three times the revenue synergies by having this company combined as one by taking advantage of these crops selling opportunities. it would not surprise me if dell spun out some of the businesses at emc or maybe even some businesses dell already owns in lever.to help de they are taking on about $50

billion of new debt to do this deal and have said we are going over they delever next 18-20 four months. the only way they can do that unless they have immediate synergies is to start selling off some assets to pay down that debt. scarlet: alex sherman, thank you. alex sherman in san francisco. dell he broke the story on dell acquiring emc. alix: a convention on how to fix washington is taking place in new hampshire. are there, their plan to break the gridlock in d.c., next. scarlet: glencore is digging for cash. minedering selling two s. will it restore confidence ? alix: malaysian airlines is rebuilding its image. is it too little, too late? ♪

company's see sweet, what would we need to see to filter more money for capital investment orrsus a dividend buyback plan what do you need to see from congress and presidential candidates? >> we need a plan from congress that addresses the fact that we do not have the right people doing the right jobs. there just needs to be a proper employment -- and i want to leave that up to our elected officials, who promises all these jobs and then they go and argue about it and nothing ever gets done. one of the other point is we also need predictability and stability in things like the tax code, regulatory climate. we are seeing progress on trade. the kind ofve stable governmental environment that we need to be turbocharging growth in this country. we've had a very weak recovery tiered to comment earlier about

the number of part-time jobs, we could do better. we are underperforming against our potential and i think that is what is frustrating. that is what leaves millions of people dissatisfied with where they are in life today. scarlet: have you reached out to any of the freedom caucus members? trying to disrupt the flow of congress. governor? tend think i'm not sure what you mean by that question, can you repeat it? you reached out to any members of the freedom caucus, the ones who are disrupting politics, as opposed to the presidential candidates. they are going to abstract getting work done. >> the freedom caucus, that is part of the problem. no question that that is a difficult thing in the house conference but it is not the reason they cannot get 60 votes

scarlet: welcome back to

bloomberg "market day" in new york. i am scarlet fu. alix: i am alix steel. scarlet: the bond market is closed and the stock market is open. we've been talking about is the impact of oil on macro indicators. whether it is inflation or anything else. the swings in oil prices have set the tone, starting with inflation expectations. not what the fed is looking at but how investors price in price increases. i have a chart from stephen englander of citigroup. the top shows the 10 year break even rates for the u.s. and germany, what investors think rates will look like. the bottom is brent crude, the benchmark. oil is supposed to be transitory. central banks are supposed to look past it and they say they do but there is a clear correlation between these two panels and you can see how oils move shows up long-term.

when oil was sinking, it drove the headline numbers lower, which the fed does not use. it drove inflation expectations down as well. alix: you are looking at three oil charts. with the exception of two inflation charts and one oil chart. scarlet: what happens when oil recovers? what do the central banks do with that? alix: then it puts the pressure, we havethe brakes on qe seen. piggybacking on that, jeffries had a great note saying there's a good correlation between the 5-year and plied inflation expectation and u.s. earnings revision. the idea is if you do not have good underlying earnings growth, the yield curve is going to be dictating stock movement. if we extrapolate, what we are looking at is a chart of oil versus the s&p earnings revision. it is going to be dictated by

what oil prices will be in the future is what earnings will be now. that is a difficult proposition. scarlet: especially given the swing we have seen in oil. since the middle of last year, oil tumbled but you kind of had this recovery through the summer before we started tumbling again. what visibility do companies have? from goldman sachs said their six-month forecast is $40 a barrel. they see the potential for more downside. the idea is if that is dictating what is happening with inflation expectations and that is dictating what is happening to earnings, can earnings recover and anyway or see meaningful growth if you have oil between 30 dollars-$50 a barrel. the forward curve does not see a $60 a barrel for another year. is that enough to stabilize expectations? scarlet: how do fed policymakers divorce oil from monetary policy

? alix: there is stimulus when it comes to oil, we have not seen that as much in the u.s.. thatan in their note said china is levered to some of the aspects of the commodity chain that they do not get that kind of stimulus boost and that is an issue of why it cannot go out and support earnings. scarlet: we are starting to see that. everyone tries to determine how it shows up and i think we are constantly surprised by ways in which it does and does not show up. every day,at oil, that will tell you what you need to know. scarlet: we will continue talking about commodities. glencore trying to cut its debt, open to selling a couple mines. is that enough? ♪

in australia and chile versus other copper holdings? >> these are small assets. this is part of the portfolio of things that glencore is trying to the marketplace. one course stock was even down today. this is a small part of the huge portfolio. it seems as if they are taking assets andh cost offering them for sale. the real gems of the business are off the table, good for the long-term. alix: does this mean glencore thinks copper prices have not yet bottomed if they are going 400ield $300 billion or nine dollars in free cash flow? lme week in is london, all the traders try to figure out what is going to happen in 2016. that is the number one topic. maybe there's more downside in the copper price. bhp say it has hit

bottom and everything is going to go up. alix: rio says we are not going to shut down mines. is glencore leaving cash on the table when their competitors are out there producing? >> that is the point. iron ore has been the example, bhp and rio say we are low-cost and we're going to produce. -- theroyed the cup price of iron ore. but we are hearing is we do not care, we are still making money and we don't care about the price of copper. it is an interesting move on the part of rio and bhp. you would think they could be the adults in the room and cut back a little bit. every time the price goes down it hurts their bottom line. scarlet: going back to glencore and speaking of strategic moves, glencore said it was approached by buyers, unsolicited interest. why is that important? peoplee is a lot of doing a lot of deals right now.

i have talked to some bankers and had lunch with some bankers. there's a lot going on. by them saying it is up for sale, let's hear some bids, people have probably approached them and they are going to get more serious. alix: this is a buyers market. why would glencore want to sell assets when the buyers have the control at the end of the day? presumably you would wait and sell when copper is much higher and make more money. what is the point? >> when you run of that much debt and you are worried about the market, that gets you into a market. dave told the market they will get that down. scarlet: i want to tell you something jim chanos told us. go thisn bloomberg morning. >> we know the company pretty well. a is a company that was reasonably high return on capital business enable market that has turned into a low return on capital and below

if someone offers the right price for the right property, he has said they will sell it. when you look at glencore's vision and you hear what jim chanos said, do you think they will sell mines and more of a trading operation? is that in the cards? >> there's thought that glencore has been a good trading business, probably be best. they are a great trading company . it sort of fell into the xstrata mine assets. now they are getting away from that and selling off and a lot of those assets and getting back more to what they know well, which is trading. alix: in london talking to big investors, what is their number one question when it comes to glencore. >> i think the question is more about the market. if the copper price keeps going down another 20-30%, who is going to be left in business?

look at biotech names that have good fundamentals but aren't profitable rather than the more speculative names. scarlet: have to cell phone analysts play into this? they didn't capitalize on the selloff. nick: that was a mr. jimmy. when we looked at recommendations from the peak three months ago to the trough last week, all the analysts did was upgrade their favorite names to strong by and pull the plug on marginal lands to hold. they didn't upgrade the whole group, they kept the whole group fairly constant, just picking and choosing what they like best. alix: the other thing has been dividends. there's a great chart of the number of dividend players, it's really been on the rise. what happens to these guys as the credit markets seize up, the fed raises rates. does this not support the market? nick: dividends are not on a because profit market -- the margins expanded. payouts helped buoy the

ratio. i think it's going to slow dramatically, corporate boards hate to cut dividends. --y are not going to want to revenue growth needs to pick up and it's not happening yet. scarlet: what is the bigger priority? maintaining the dividend, growing the dividend, or being able to buy back shares? nick: the priority has been buybacks. corporations use dividends to signal their earning power and the potential earnings growth of the company. but it is stock buybacks that we see as the primary way to hand cash back to shareholders. that will be an important factor in q4 as well. if this slows,x: what is going to prop up the sales market? is the bottom-line question. q3 is going to be orders down 2% to 3%, maybe flat if we get lucky. there's a lot of focus on q4 guidance.

issued for about nine dollars a share. it sounds like there is concern about more supply of the shares coming to market with these tracking stocks -- striking shares being released. that appears to be what's putting pressure on vmware. the company came out with numbers this morning for earnings, its guidance on earnings above what analysts had forecast. that's not helping the stock. i was watching shares of oracle, i reported earlier that oracle will not step in to try and make competing bid for emc. most analysts say they don't expect any competing bids for the company. all of this caps off what has been a very fertile time for m&a and technology. take a look at my bloomberg terminal, i have a five-year look at m&a quarter by quarter. this is the number of deals, the blue lines of the value of deals we have been looking at here at we seen a big surge in the value of deals here in the fourth quarter heading into the fourth quarter looks like it is hidden by my computer.

the number of deals is down for the third quarter, but the value is significant in part because of this record deal. scarlet: julie hyman, thank you. more on that emc dell deal later. today the world's largest brewing company raised its offer to $103.6 billion and sabmiller has rejected three previous proposals, for an analysis of this fluid situation, our chief business correspondent matt campbell joins us from london. what is different this time? sabmiller rejected three previous proposals, how different is this one? --matt: it is a substantial increase. starting to look like something that is going to be very hard for the sabmiller board to say no to. their largest shareholder is

already on board, they were on board with the prior lower offers. they are even more on board now, presumably. the sabmiller board is meeting in london today, i think everyone expects to hear from the very soon about whether this will in fact bring them to the table. alix: the share price for sabmiller is still trading significantly below the offer price of $43.50. it doesn't seem like the deal is going to get done by that. att: there's a little bit of hangover from pfizer astrazeneca , if you cast your mind back a year to that situation. it's very similar. us-based or certainly looking to acquirer buy a storied important british company under deadline pressure because of the system that exists here in the united kingdom about 28 day timeline for these bids. ellen fell apart. i think there's a little bit of reluctance about investors to find themselves in a similar situation again. but this one does feel certainly

closer to being a concluded situation then after seneca pfizer ever did. reporting lot of the indicates that many people think around 45 is where the deal gets done. does that set up base with a different scenario from what has been offered? ist: what has been out there sabmiller is looking for something in the range of 44 to 45 pounds a share. this is 4350. it's not the final offer, there is the possibility that if sab comes to the table and opens of the books and cooperates, that number could edge up just a little bit higher. i don't think this is the end of the game, but we are certainly getting closer to something they can probably say yes to. matt campbell joining us from london with that deadline creeping up. alix: still ahead on the "bloomberg market day," does the largest acquisition -- technology acquisition ever make sense in a world where big tex seems to be slimming down?

scarlet: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. largest technology deal ever is in the works. dell is offering to buy emc for $67 billion. there are a lot of questions regarding the deal, for more let's go live to bloomberg radio to talk to carol massar. carol: it could be the largest technology acquisition ever. we welcome everyone was watching us on bloomberg television, and withis bloomberg radio carol massar in new york and cory johnson. let's talk about dell acquiring emc. with us is anand srinivasan,

senior intelligence for our in-house group of experts. it's been floated out for the last week, we were getting ready. it's a huge deal, the largest analogy acquisition ever. dell is going to have to take on a lot of debt to do it. is this something that makes sense on a strategic level? anand: it does. the fact that a pc heavy company at an enterprise storage heavy company have come together to broaden their respective platforms does make sense on a strategic level. that said, the transaction as you mentioned is large, and it is complex, both in terms of financing needs, coupled with the fact that one entity is private, the use of tracking stock, the potential ipo of a small security company, i don't know if that will be talked about it all. and in silver lake and michael

dell are contributing to the deal as well. in terms of the size as well as the complexity, this deal is unusual in the corporate i.t. landscape. but it is much needed. [no audio] cory: a tech company where you have services and security and pcs and servers all under one roof, maybe it isn't necessary. anand: that's a fantastic question, cory johnson. the event is just the beginning of the transformation. the fact that emc is undergoing restructuring is already out there. there undergoing $850 million cost cut and they are

dramatically trying to revamp the company for the cloud model. arguably, again, this is a big if. the emcwere to complete transaction by mid next year and undergo a dramatic revamp of both the dell part of the business and the emc part of the business, as a private entity towards the cloud model, maybe they can pull it off in a couple of years. we've seen technology companies getting simpler and simpler, focusing on a few businesses that make sense. doesn't this kind of go against that? exactly against that. the point remains that just because it is simple doesn't make it successful. carol: fair enough. anand: the transformation that is going on in corporate i.t. right now is pretty drastic. everybody is pivoting towards the hybrid cloud model, corporations start to use i.t. in a typical cloud manner. the point is, the cloud they

want to the example five by the likes of google, facebook, amazon. that is the cloud they want. faster, cheaper, more flexible. corporate i.t. doesn't want any part of it. you change or you die. cory: also in this, emc storage business, i have a great love for joe tucci, but their storage revenues have been declining dramatically year after year, just 3% growth in storage year after year. it's not like dell is acquiring the emc of five years ago. anand: absolutely true. they are doing it partly for the vmware software company, which is part of the transformation towards the cloud model. you got to figure out what you want to do with the storage assets. storage in and of itself has value. it is growing. and there is value on top of it in terms of the software that emc provides. the question is, how you transform that into the cloud

model? i think that transformation is better done private. srinivasan, thank you. about 1.5%,re up but they are differently off their highs of the session. you, carol massar. we are working out the kinks with a technical of getting radio on tv. still have the bloomberg market day, copper keeps declining, it's not as a surly reflecting supply and demand. the head of the world's number two mining company sounds the alarm on short-sellers. we have been talking about this for a while. shortselling copper, great story. we'll be right back. ♪

but the protesters accuse officials of not taking measures to help prevent that bombing. hundreds killed, hundreds more wounded and the protesters even accuse the government of being behind it the deadly attack. the interim prime minister says the islamic state is the primary suspect in that bombing. in other news on this monday, princeton professor angus deaton is the winner of this year's nobel prize in economics. the scottish born man was honored on his studies in consumption policy and welfare. he is best known on how individuals consumers make choices. pennsylvania is facing a deeper budget deficit, and republican lawmakers been gaining is the answer. they say it's better than raising taxes and they are protecting hundreds of millions of dollars in one-time licensing fees, plus collections from taxing the new steam of profits. wouldtension of gambling be the nation's third in six

according to the head of copper or rio tinto, the world's second-biggest mining company. metal has lost more than 40% of its value since prices hit a record in 2011. john sebastian jock said short-sellers should be wary. we arehe tougher space not trading on fundamentals. i think a good example is there are lots of shortselling in copper. we see the pickup in terms of shortselling copper in china a few months ago. -- decided to change the rules, where people were no longer authorized to short sell, and therefore what we experienced were a series of copper for ause proxy for the chinese economy and started to short sell. today, if you were to look at it without any guidance on the

if you look at where the prices are compared to the cost curve, there is something that doesn't stack up. we believe that there are a series of players which are using copper as a proxy for the general chinese economy, therefore taking a position. it can be a very dangerous game in the medium and long-term because as we mentioned earlier today, at some stage we expect the copper market to move into a deficit. you don't want to have a short position when the market is moving into a deficit. >> the question is how long do you think it will take for that process to shake out? so does move back to supply demand fundamentals? >> i hope that within the next two to three years, we move into a deficit position and therefore we enjoyed a more fundamental type context. fundamentals, if a market place copper iron are dominated by china, copper is 40%.

does that concern you in any way? at a time when people are so bearish on china? i can read through china and various ways, by the official , how do via yourself you see china? >> as far as copper is concerned, we are not concerned about china. as you said, china council more than 40% of the copper consumption. following is -- i have mines in mongolia and a $2 billion copper trade with mongolia. to have trouble with racing -- placing my product? no. does china have issues in raising credit because all the business we are doing in china is based on reserve credit, the answer is no. ,e had concerned the year ago

the answer was yes and we were very careful. but today, i'm not concerned. there are a couple of dimensions which are important for my perspective, which is i believe that the chinese government has the will and has the financial means to sort out the issue if there were an issue. if you look in the past, they have a very -- [indiscernible] there's lots of kpi in the marketplace, and in the recent weeks, if you look at the inventory, the metrics are moving in the right direction. i don't want to sound naïve, but back to the first point, as a businessman, when i look at the other book and i look at the evidence when you place the product in the marketplace, do you have any choice? absolutely not. scarlet: that was john sebastian and what's really

fascinating to me is that when you have these big miners, these very different views on china and they base their business on what they think china is going to do, and how healthy china is, they are totally different. the first thing he will say is i have no clue what's going on with china. it's like a black box. that's not what you heard from rio tinto ceo. hoffman of bloomberg intelligence was telling us the way china uses copper is not necessarily a reflection of how it actually uses copper for industrial reasons. it's an actually a cheap loan for so many chinese companies and investors. scarlet: you wind up importing copper, you take alone outside of the country off of that, take the money into the country and put it to work in high-yielding where it is's supporting imports. you don't know how much of the stockpile you see there's being used for financing or friend user demand. the result of it is you have rio tinto committing to copper production, they are not selling anything, you have glencore that selling assets.

of thee taking money off table, rio tinto is taking advantage of supply coming off-line elsewhere. it also creates this divergence among the profitability of these miners when it comes to copper. alix: you can't get visibility, and what if that extends outside of china because of what the lme says stockpiles of copper out a seven month low, but who knows if that's because of financial engineering because of chinese investors or because companies are actually using it? alix: lots more ahead on the "bloomberg market day." break, we are to bringing you a press conference at princeton, where an economist is speaking about winning the nobel prize in economics. more on that later. ♪

scarlet: welcome back to the "bloomberg market day." alix: time now for the business last. the first story, a big blow to the man known as the bonking. investors pulling $47 million from janice local, run by bill gross. analysts say that his performance this year trailed, and 60%firm lost 1.4% of other and constrained bond funds. backet: the sec is pushing the review of the staples and office depot decision. staples wants to play -- wants to acquire his rival. two executives fled the

i do want to say a few things. i really want to thank princeton for what it has done for me, and for the place it provided me to colleagues amazing over the years. what i wasvided looking for when i came here from britain, which was a place where you could work without having to worry about all the extraneous things that go on in so many universities. that has been a truly wonderful experience for me in princeton as a whole. wonderful graduate students, wonderful students, one of colleagues. i wanted to say a little bit the school. for me, the woodrow wilson school is one of the parts of this i like the most. that nobel laureates don't usually come from public policy schools.

the woodrow wilson school has a very different way of going about its business than most other public policy schools. in that it really believes in academic excellence, then all of us are economist in the school, and their members of one of the world's best economics department. , think, if i can count right this is probably the third nobel prize that has come to the woodrow wilson school, which is three more than pretty much anywhere else. [applause] king: many magnitude -- deaton: many magnitude more than elsewhere. it's a model people are challenged, and the feeling that to some extent of it is are hands, it's hard to have policy practitioners, people really interested in policy. if you look back in the record, i just don't think that's true. there have been terrific people, my ex colleague ben bernanke

will be talking here next week. alan krueger, they just a whole host of people who have come up through the woodrow wilson school, met the highest standards of academic achievement. as is like a nobel prize to the woodrow wilson school, in a sense. i think that's a truly wonderful thing.

are off school for example. taking a look at major averages, we are seeing a mixed picture right now. i should mention the bond market is closed today, even as stocks continue to trade. it's worth mentioning that we heard from fed officials over the weekend and today, we heard from stanley fischer, the fed vice chairman over the weekend. reiterating the theme we have heard from so many fed officials, there is a likelihood that we will see a rate increase by the end of the year. it doesn't seem like the market is buying it. yes, the bond market is closed. i have been looking at work on my bloomberg terminal -- wir probabilityatp, priced in. it's a slight increase. we have been seeing a number have her closer to 33, 30 4%. but nonetheless still lower than you would think, considering what we have been hearing from federal reserve officials. move in the dollar.

the dollar has been taking a dip, trading at a seven-week low. that would appear to reflect these diminished expectations of rate increase by years end. his similar story when you look at emerging-market stocks today. the msci emerging market index heading for its highest close since august 11. so before the selloff, we see an increased flow into emerging markets as well. and finally, a quick check on gold, trading at its highest since july 6. you can see a better than .5%. scarlet: thank you. alix: jinx. since the beginning of october, , hostingmarket surge biggest short-term gains. scarlet: kim is advanced be sustained? joining us is vincent cignarella. we had a little august and september emerging market currency. things have turned around.

the question is, we swung from extreme pessimism to extreme optimism. why exactly did they rally? somewhat. a lot of it is on the back of what happened with the federal reserve. anecdotal with the fed not emerging markets become an attractive place to be because of yield. and the carriage rate is reignited. scarlet: does any of this say we were really short, these high beta currencies and we're going to cover those shorts now because the fed didn't act? what part of that is going to be a technical basis? vincent: you are seeing the trade unwind and folks taking way verynt a very long quickly. it doesn't continue in one direction at all, all the time. the fed in some of the data took some of that the gas out of that trade and you are seeing serious profit-taking. some folks are getting back into

long positions, they do offer a very attractive interest rate differential trade. if the ideas the fed isn't going to do anything until next year, there is some time to perhaps earn some kerry and make some money. scarlet: hsbc was comparing what we saw in the emerging-market currencies this time of what we saw in say the 1990's. are we at the point of a crisis? vincent: it's not a crisis. it was a complete the different situation. this is backed by the people's bank of china. with 3.5 trillion reserves behind any tacit uploads. there's a lot of ammunition to slow this. will it continue? it's very likely. the foreign reserves of the chinese government continue to decline. it is still a down trend. as far as global growth is

depressed, those reserves will continue to be deflated. mentally get to the point where that is the crisis issue i would say to look at. once china and watch china reserves. alix: looking at the dollar, weekendtanley had this and talk about the dollar, that we have seen peak dollar that's why you're seeing a change in the momentum trading in the s&p. we are selling health care and biotech and we're going to buy industrial energy. you laugh i said peak dollar. vincent: i try to make the higher the lows, that's why on the side of the business. it's the most dangerous game to try and take the high or low at anything. if you want to say perhaps temporarily, given what we've talked about in the fed not doing anything for a while, they give some room for the dollar to trend sideways and maybe decline. but monetary policy diversions favors the u.s. longer-term. the next step of the fed will be to increase, where you have the

majority of countries around the world with potentially decreasing. as long as the market is focusing on interest-rate and monetary policy being the driver of currencies, then i think the fed has to move. scarlet: thank you, vincent cignarella. he chuckled when you said that. alix: coming up on the "bloomberg market day," you are now watching a live shot of the press conference of princeton university professor angus deaton, who won the nobel prize in economics. his research focuses on consumers in poverty and we learn more about him when we come back. ♪

the winner of a nobel prize in economics. deaton, a professor at princeton. he analyzes consumption, poverty, and wealth. in awarding the prize, they stated to design economic policy that promotes welfare and reduces policy -- poverty, you must understand individual conception courses. angus deaton has enhanced this understanding. for more context, we bring in brendan greeley. tell us more about angus dean himself, how is he seen by his peers? brandon: you should look at the state of economics before angus deaton and after augustine. economics was moral philosophy, we imagine what people might do when we build models around these assumptions of what those people might do. angus eaton is amazing with data. he looked at household survey data and he made 11 advances in

econometrics, the study of how we use data. that sounds boring, but it's very important because people are different. you give the same economic stimulus to a population of people and different people, who have credit, who don't have credit, will respond differently. angus deaton is the forefather of looking at economics that way. more recently, he has been studying welfare. look at our, we guests. the other thing you pointed out as you can just look at the aggregates, how overall economic growth is doing. you have to look at how it is distributed among people, because that informs how people make choices. alix: isn't that like studying happiness? how do you quantify that? brendan: executive the right question. he is like the zen philosopher of economics. every time someone says what is the answer he will come back and look at the data and say what is the question? he had a paper that says a lot of people who don't have children on average are happier who people who are with children. a subjectknow that's

near and dear to the hearts of everyone at this table. but he looked at the data and how was pulled together and he said there might be something going on here, which is people who might be happier with kids have them in people who might not be happier with kids don't. the question is important. scarlet: brendan greeley, thank you with some context on angus deaton. alix: much more ahead on the "bloomberg market day." today, emily chang will sit down with apple's cofounder steve wozniacki at 5:45 p.m. eastern. we don't want to miss it. scarlet: is he going to give us a review of the movie? alix: i hope so. scarlet: who played him? seth rogen. ♪
