there is a very good likelihood that we move by expanding the asset purchasing program, possibly even moving the policy rate in december. if you want to move you have make sure people are going to move. speeches.d dueling he said what we expected him to say, monetary policies isn't going to fix europe. we need more workforce participation. draghi agreed with them. she said -- he said these things -- they are the only game in town. >> if he has said these things before, these are largely on the lines of his stance, why does it gain so much attention?

>> it is so explicit the way he laid it out. also inflation on his radar, core inflation is 1.1%. it is nowhere near their mandated target. inflation is at .1%. the up -- the argument across these two speeches is how much of an influence is oil on inflation? 1.1%if you strip that out, is still nowhere near their mandate. what he is stressing as he sees risks skewed to the downside. he thinks in the medium-term people could get used to low inflation and we could get stuck with it. that is what is new today. >> have the odds gone up to near 100% that the ecb is going to add stimulus in the coming weeks? and what the reaction will be in the markets leading up to it? get to 100%ever because then the move has already happened. a movie today, but it wasn't a huge move. it was a psychological move.

we saw the psychological barrier ofone dollar seven area -- $1.07. i think this was new confidence. yes they are becoming increasingly confident there will be a move. you cannot let the markets know. you have to let them know that is where we are heading. betty: it seems like we reacted to it here, maybe less so than in europe. brenton, thank you so much. rendon greeley -- brendan greeley come our senior correspondent. much more ahead in the next two hours. we will be sitting down with three heavyweights. a corporate litigator, legal mind. a former pimco ceo. and a legendary investor. all of them on bloomberg markets in the next two hours.

the table if she would have allowed streaming services to take on an stream? -- have have caused cost some money? may be some of the of people who would stream it will now go out and buy an album. the other one may be a more philosophical argument. she doesn't believe free streaming services should get new music. album if they her restricted it to pay. it is not clear how much his business and how much is taking space. >> pandora is going to stream parts of this? is actually one of the main points of contention.

that means the investors are a little spooked. in addition, money coming out of why, -- of shy. this makes it different were money moved to the short term. partsis coming out of all of the curve. them if you look at the bond market on the longer end, we have seen people coming into the 30 year, because the fed has emphasized numbers on the table are going to be very gradual. that gradual view reflected in bond etf? >> we are seeing flows to aggregate bond etf's. they are still allocating money going in there. that also saw about 500 million.

all of the different areas have seen uploads. >> run me through some of -- where some of the flows are going. a quiet trend is in maturity bonds. way to an old school play rising rates. 2017, they were actually etf's that matured a certain year. you actually buy them in a set. you put them in the years they have where the rates are higher. it keeps buying at a higher rate. it is plain vanilla. there is nothing funky going on. there are leverage etf's people will use.

listen to the stat on the target bonds. they only had 1,000,000,002 years ago. it was only 10 two years ago. >> it makes sense that they go to the interesting environment. there is a hedged one. packaged the one trade for you. the pro shares investment great interest rate hedged etf those long corporate bonds and short twenty-year treasuries. institutions have been doing trades like that. essentially what you get is a duration of zero without any interest rate risk at all. in the past month and in any window, these outperform. these are the equivalent.

more from the news desk. vladimireek begin with putin and president obama. they agree on bombing the terror groups oil. obama has refused the russian leaders offered to courtney, but the u.s. and russia are both targeting the islamic state facilities. that is where the group gets much of its fronting -- funding. inquiries to the army website day gone from 500 to 1500 a . the french army currently has 112,000 troops. this weekend, nato is testing alliances ability to defend against terror attacks -- cyberattacks from rogue states. nato countries are concerned that terrorists are combining cyber warfare with more conventional tactics. the senate hasn't indicated whether it will take up the bill that temporarily blocks syrian and iraqi refugees from entering

the u.s.. the house passed the measure overwhelmingly yesterday. has puteaker paul ryan off the polls from the refugee settlement program for six months. president obama will veto it. some u.s. states aren't just opposed to new syrian refugees resettling interstates. they also want to take a close look at the ones already living there. bobby jindal has ordered police to monitor 14 syrians for threat. -- is investigating 59 refugees living in the state. that is a look at first word news right now. you can get more on these and other breaking story 24 hours a day on the new bloomberg.com. from the bloomberg first word us, vonnie quinn. betty: vonnie quinn at the news desk. a storm over fantasy sports. will knownd fanduel my things getting whether they will have feast or famine for

fans in the biggest market in new york. they are set to square off before a judge in manhattan bit -- on the member 25th. while fanduel has been playing a nice, drafting is ready for a fight. drafting is making a big that -- we are joined by david himself in the studio. david, great to see you. i know this is front and center for you, fantasy sports. why have draft kings, why have they decided to be so antagonistic? david: they are not being antagonistic at all. all they are doing is what they have been doing for years openly in new york. for more than 80 years, daily fantasy sports competitions have been authored -- offered to new 8 years,- 48for for the last four years or so, by draft king. no one ever suggested, not the

attorney general's office, not in the public officials, no one ever suggested that these games were in any way a legal right not a hint of that. betty: until they started making hundreds of millions of dollars. david: that has been going on for a long time. whether you have $15 million or $20 million in entry fees doesn't determine whether what you are doing is legal or illegal. this is not something that was not open. everyone knew what was going on. my children, i suspect the children of some of the people in the attorney general's office regularly play this game. betty: they have been on a, pick their fantasy players. you mentioned the smaller players. order fromand desist the attorney general's office. i'm not sure that is exactly accurate. for example, yahoo!, the number their player, is continuing to operate. i don't know anyone other than

fanuel that has suspended their operations good most people like draft king who believe their customers enjoy these games only to play them -- it is a form of entertainment. betty: i agree with you him about why not hold off and say we will sacrifice a few days or a few weeks of operations until it is very clear in new york before restarting again? david: remember this has a very clear in new york for eight years. ordinarily, you don't change the status quo until you get a change in the law. the attorney general can change his mind as to whether or not this is legal, but he can't change the law. that is up to the legislature. all we are saying is what any business would say are any business would say is if you want to change the law, go to the legislature. don't do an about-face and say we had to turn off your business

returning on and turning off a business is not as simple as turning on a light switch. we can't just say we are going to close shop for a while. betty: what is a good copper mice? -- compromise? david: i think a good compromise is what, for example, massachusetts attorney general is trying to do. massachusetts attorney general has been looking at this a lot longer than the new york attorney general. attorneymassachusetts general has said is that this is obviously not illegal gambling but there are issues that need to be addressed. we don't agree completely, obviously, with what the massachusetts attorney general wants to do in terms of radiation, but we recognize that that is a sensible way to approach it, a middle ground. betty: she had said there is limits on advertising to people 21 and over and other types of restrictions. david, let's move on to the other cases that you are working on. , whatpresent pimco

theater and drama is going on in the filing by pimco which you prepared? throughout the case, you said it is reputational warfare. you do not give up easily. what is go to trial? >> we don't think it should go to trial. whether or not this is a legal case is something the judge is going to decide. as we have said in our papers, this really is not a legal case. this kind of battle over -- betty: why is a not a legal case? he said he said? david: it is an argument between a legendary bond trader who founded a great company, pimco, and the company he founded over who said what, it is always difficult when a founder doesn't want to abide by the rules that everybody else has to abide by. company, he the left the company in a situation

in which i think is rotation suffered some -- his reputation suffered some damage. he wants to cover the damage. that is understandable from a human standpoint. that is not the place to do that. the courts are the place to decide legal questions. betty: are you confident this could be settled? david: i don't know about settled, but it ought to be resolved. this is not the kind of argument about a founder and its former company that really belongs in court. betty: do they have a case to countersuit bill gross? david: i think there are lots of arguments that can be made, lots of claims that can be made. pimco would go on and do what it does best fun, andbe a great, mr. gross will understand he ought to get satisfaction from helping to create that company and not trying to tear down.

betty: david, you're also on the word of theranos. why don't they just publish their data? quiet the speculation? david: remember that they have published more data and made more information available than any of the other lab companies. , and part because of these arguments that are going back-and-forth between it and its competitors, is being challenged to do things that no other lab company is doing. their nose is doing that. for example, let me give you an example. no other laboratory company submits its tests to the fda. theranos does. that shows the confidence they have in those lab tests. betty: clearly, even if they published right a bit of data, that is not enough to satisfy the questions of the medical community and the science community have.

they say these claims are outrageous. if proven true, it would be enormous. why not publish the data? data is being published. that is why this is frustrating. with all due respect to you and the press, what you do is you see an article in a place like the wall street journal and you assume that it is true. .hat becomes your baseline not the facts, not the underlying facts of what is actually happening. os bungled theran their committee case in? david: that is another problem with the press. you assume that if a company and a newspaper have a disagreement, somehow, the company must have bungled it as opposed to the press bungling it. this is unfortunate, and i'm a great fan of the wall street journal, this is one where they are way off base. betty: they are factually incorrect.

david: they have their facts wrong, basing their stories on a series of anonymous sources. not anonymous sources were you have an insider you are trying to protect. this is where they are simply repeating what competitors have said and refusing to identify who the sources are because they don't want the readers to know that what they are reporting are simply attacks on theranos by its competitors. betty: the story is out there, the people have this year. could they have done a better job afterwards and addressing what they see as complete inaccuracies and mr. visitations -- and misrepresentations? david: look at the facts. , universitynalyses of san francisco, people all over the company, desk country, doctors, hospitals. one thing people lose sight of

is that this has been in operation in arizona for a year and a half. the wall street journal -- betty: they have stopped their operations, right? david: again, they haven't said that at all. they are continuing to operate right now. is therehappened hasn't been further expansion. what is going on is still going on. there is so much about information out there. so much false information. one of the frustrating things is that it is very hard for a company to get these kinds of facts out there. people are much more interested in the sensational charges and the negativity than what the actual truth is. betty: david, we are going to set the record straight on some other companies you worked on including aig. nobody knows aig better than david boeis who has worked on that many years. in our next hour, we are setting down with the format simcoe ceo.

buyinghe best opportunities are. those interviews and much more coming up.

betty: i want to give you an update on the situation in mali. recoveredhave been from the hotel and the gunmen are no longer holding hostages. in the meantime, it is time for a look at the other business stories in the news right now. for the second time in 14 months, the u.s. is making it harder for companies to duck taxes by moving abroad. they could ease the tax bill by moving their headquarters to

ireland. these deals called in versions are a hot button issue in washington. you can always get more business news at bloomberg.com. we are back with high profile lawyer raymond boyd. -- david boeis. do they have this power? david: whether they have the legal power to do it i think is questionable. the real problem here is this is a structural disconnect. you ought not to have a situation in which you have these kinds of incentives for american corporations to move abroad. you have to have a way to rationalize a tax system so that they want to stay here. herecan't stay economically. you don't want this kind of situation where you have a big savings if you move your headquarters outside of the united states. that is not rational. betty: someone who has talked about corporate tax or form is hank greenberg, the former chairman and ceo of aig.

you worked closely with hank, on the case right now against the federal government. i am curious. you dug in and know how this company operates. what do you think of a breakup of the company? a breakupon't think makes sense. the problem with aig to the extent to which it has a problem is the fact that it was forced to sell off its crown jewels before. during the crisis. as hank paulson has set a number of times, this never would have happened if hank greenberg had stay there. he was managing the company in a way that maybe company the most outstanding insurance company in the world. people say is aig to be to succeed now? when hank is running it is twice as they come right? most: it was the successful insurance committee for decade after decade after decade. betty: what was a back then that worked and white cat it work again? -- why can't it work again?

david: i think it can. you need the right is this components, you need to add from the critical mass, and you need the right management. -- if before, what was it it is not too big to succeed, what was it before that worked? david: i think what worked before was that you had a great set of assets. you had some outstanding insurance companies in the world come all over the world. byintegrated company run somebody who i think is a phenomenal manager. i think everybody recognizes that when hank greenberg took aig from something that was less to $1400 million billion company. betty: do you think hank greenberg could go back to aig? david: he won't go back, he has his own company. betty: is he interested in buying any parts? david: i think if they are selling he might be a buyer. is to aig, he would

like to see it succeed, he helped create it. he has enormous loyalty to the employees, many of whom are still there. he would like to help in any capacity he could, but he is not interested in going back and running the company. betty: short of breaking up aig which is something you don't advocate, what do you think it satisfy the active investors like carl icahn and what could be a come from ice? compromise?-- investors need to look at the long term. the current management needs to begin a chance to maximize the value of those assets. there are tremendous assets there. those assets don't get more valuable by being split up and divided. in fact, i think that, if anything, one of the problems that aig faces are the loss of some of the parts of aig that help make that also effective. i don't think it would be desirable to sell it off.

off andalways selling buying. in other words, a company like that always falls off assets and acquires more assets. if you are talking about net attrition, net investiture, that would be a mistake. betty: thank you for sticking around. david boies with me. much more ahead on business markets right now which have gotten a jolt in europe with the ecb. abigail doolittle is live with the nasdaq with more. looking at the top performers, having a. abigail: stocks overall are higher. we have to stocks significant higher on strong earnings reports. this retailer beat third quarter comparable sales and earnings handedly. the company also boosted the four-year profit slightly. there is lots of positive commentary other good some are saying this is a quality third quarter beat. the guidance should prove conservative.

this stock is currently having its best day since january of 2013. another earnings winner into it, maker beat fiscal quarter estimates. the company is saying they plan to make between 17 and $.20 in the current quarter, well above that five cent estimate. the momentum is being driven by an acceleration in cloud-based products according to the ce oh. whether the company gets back to growth and is going your tony 16 as is currently planned. betty: abigail doolittle live in the mastec. still ahead on bloomberg markets, shaken, not stirred. they drink mixture that is perfect for the holidays. now hitting stores. we are back with the cofounders right after the break. ♪

christina: one of the things we look at is how to introduce people to the product? this is a total different cocked on mixer than anything like skinny girl or red bra because product, al-natural no sugar product, and it's about having the flavor first. taking all the wonderful cartels and putting it in the consumer's hand and saying you, too, can make it. retail, wees to think about ways that we can introduce it in an unexpected way. it is about different shop placement. discovering it next to produce. but he had welcome all i, avocados that you are about to make an seeing and all-natural product. -- seeing the guacamole. --ty: we can't help notice steve ross is your dad, have you gone to them for some support here? jennifer: they have been great mentors of hours. all along, my dad has always

these 24 hours a day at the new bloomberg.com. thank you. i want to get more insight on a geopolitical and economic risks in the global economy. we heard earlier today that ecb president is saying the central bank must act despite price gains as your faces an environment of weaker growth. ourhe downsize risk for economy has increased in recent months due to the deterioration of the external environment. demand,ook for global especially in emerging markets, has notably worsened. uncertainty in financial markets has increased. global growth this year will be the weakest since 2009. betty: joining us now for some perspective is a bloomberg view columnist and the chief economic advisor. do you think that drhagi was too

negative on the outlook and europe? is weighinghink he the downside risk and he wants to signal to things. ecb is in the wit paradigm, that is, whatever it takes. it will push enter traits even more in negative -- push intertrades even more in negative territory and extend its qe. it said today it will act rapidly. that is even more devilish than -- dovish than before. what he is trying to do is curtail the downside risk. betty: is it all but certain that the ecb will be adding more stimulus? mohamed: you have heard me say it for months, now. they will add more while the fed in december.s what you will get and what we will talk about a lot is the

notion of divergent central banks. betty: you see that divergence being priced into the markets, too. does any of this make it harder, at all, for the fed? here he is, mario draghi, talking about the risk in the european markets and talking about the downside, deflationary pressures. mohamed: its does make it somewhat more compensated. why -- more competition -- complicated. the euro is at 106. at some point, the fed will stop worrying about the exchange rate. the answer, as always, as you expand your policy instruments and ring and more of what you can do, the fiscal side, the structural side. that is the answer to so many problems, including the complexity the fed faces. betty: they have always said they need washington involved, as well. in helpingvolved

them along. they haven't gotten that. fed thent, is the going to then, even if they're going to raise rates, going to temper that trajectory of rate rises? inamed: yes, they will, and three ways. first, it is going to be a very shallow path, secondly, a stop-go process. there will not be a hike every single meeting. they will stop along the way. third, they will end up below historical averages. you absolutely -- betty: but what i be? -- what will that be? mohamed: i think you will be around 3% as opposed to 4% historically. vertically, they will leave that open and it will be stopped go and a shallow cycle. betty: you have some folks, goldman sachs included, that are saying this route that we have seen, this global volatility has really taken down emerging

markets, we might by next year see a bottom to that. goldman sachs said the 2016 could be the year emerging markets assets are at a bottom and start to find their seat, particularly given this divergence in the developed economies. do you believe that? mohamed: i do believe that is typically overshot on the way up and down. i believe that in certain countries, russia was one, brazil, more recently, it did overshoot. it is an asset class for knowledgeable investors who have to be more tactical than i normally like to be. where we go long-term is a bigger question. it is a question of whether the global economy is able to hold , or,o higher growth alternatively, we continue to rely on central banks and we end up with the risk of greater financial instant body. that is a critical question, and unfortunately, it cannot be answered today.

that is why investors have to be nimble. betty: at his right. you cannot answer that question today. is it too early to try to, as goldman sachs is doing, call a bottom in emerging orchids? -- markets? mohamed: i don't think it was too early two weeks ago to call a short-term bottom. we have sought the e.m. bounceback impressively across the board where it is foreign exchange, local debt. i don't think that was too early because we overshot significantly in august and september. to make a long-term call right now, that is premature. stay with us. much more ahead on the next half hour of bloomberg markets. we will continue our conversation with mohammed because he wrote an op-ed today on bloomberg about what he thinks of the recent square ipo. they went public yesterday.

in theond biggest bank netherlands returns to the market after receiving a bailout during the financial crisis. we will hear from the company's chairman. plus, mary cavalli gives his and his outlook on the fed. ♪

betty: good morning and welcome back to bloomberg markets. i want to head to the market desk or julie hyman has a check on the company movers including health insurers after the united health story. julie: the health care insurers fell sharply yesterday. united health says it was considering pulling back on its participation in planes linked to the aca.

they are coming out saying the weakness is a buying opportunity, the company has a lost cap on aca related products. they don't see these changes as material to the company's earnings growth. we are looking at admin shares this morning, one of the other stocks -- aetna. the company reaffirmed its for your forecast. there was concerns about the cost related to these exchanges for the insurance companies. and them is also reaffirming its forecast as saying -- anthem is reaffirming its forecast as saying -- it is when the insurers that is nothing back. betty: julie hyman at the markets desk. joining us from california in the studio is mario cavalli, the founder and ceo, investor, staying with me for the next half hour. 'swant to turn to mohamed

bloomberg view pc brought today on the square ipo. shares jumped 15% in their first day of trade after pricing below the targeted range. mohamed wrote in his piece, divergent interests, misaligned incentives, and competing initial conditions often make delivering a successful ipo harder than many expect. it certainly shouldn't the left exclusively to the investment banks. mohamed, why did you write this piece? what were you trying to say? do you think that square bungled their ipo? mohamed: i don't think they bungled it, i think it is a reminder of how difficult it is to get an ip all right. you have a lot of misaligned incentives. i used to have the most heated discussions with investment bankers on issues whether they were sovereign or corporate. when i was a money manager.

you have mario there, he can speak to that. long-term investors and companies are interested in a successful ipo, the one that is not too volatile. the something pops 70% minute it trades as square did, and ends up 45% higher, it raises the question as to whether there is a better way to handle this ipo. what do you think, mario? mario: it is a science, not an art. ed is right. google had a reverse auction. that is not the way to go. there are a lot of ways to do it. on balance, when you have a bell shaped curve, 80%-90% of the deals work well. i, as an investor, would prefer that if i want to going to buy something, nobody else wanted. that never happens. when i want something, i get a large percentage of what i'm interested in, i know i overpriced the stock. you did the same thing with the bond market.

betty: where you interested at all in this square ipo? mario: no. it was off my radar screen. we were more interested in families doing financial engineering. our analyst mike, but it was not an area of our core competency or compounded knowledge. -- si what do you think from the fact that the stock clocked on its first day of trade -- it was still well below the present evaluation. many people are talking about how these unicorns will be guided 30% less. is that a danger sign for the markets and for the economy at all? mohamed: you have the best person sitting right next year to speak to the, much better than me. mario: i don't think there is any sign for the market at all. we go back to 1999 when you had com and they popped because you had uninformed investors tried to play the game. betty: why do you think there is

a disconnect between the elegant private? -- and the private? mario: it happens. it is part of the free market process. you will get it right over a long period of time. mohamed: i would add that you have two interesting disconnect, private versus public, and the second one is what is happening and what is market happening to the bond market. if you look at the stock market, we will end up having one of the best weeks, if not the best week for the dow in years. this speaks to two issues. one is that share buybacks and nike's announcement of $12 billion again today is another indication of how important that is to the market, and secondly, as julie mentioned, the central banks, especially the ecb. that is causing a divergence, a decoupling, not only between public and private, but also between certain segments of the

public markets. betty: let me talk about something that both of you as former active money managers and current active money managers can talk to. we talked to jack bogle earlier this week. record flow into them. this is what he said about index investing. jack: the reality is that index funds will do better than entity managed funds. if you want equities, the place to go is the index fund spirit that is what is happening in the industry. money is pouring into index funds. morningstar data shows 450. dutch $450 billion in the index funds. going out of actively managed funds. betty: can you not wait until the fed raises rates? maybe that is one active money management -- mohamed: jack and i have had this argument forever. 1990 nine, they

were buying cisco and they represent 50% of the markets. i like the fact they were creating these extortions in the market. don't -- ignore the fact that jack ignores the fact that the virtues of the funds, they are selling a product. wait until you have another august 24. betty: what about you? what marioagree with said. i would add something. it is not an either/or discussion. there are some places where active management has been shown over and over again to add value. imperfect markets. emerging markets, for example. you want to be careful when you go passive, especially in the that market. the most highly indebted countries have the highest weight in the index. there are certain places where active management makes sense. there are other places where a more passive approach makes sense. having that as an either/or discussion misleads people. mario: i don't disagree. we are actively going in and

starting. it is a business decision, not an investment decision to do actively managed eds that are not visible. nontransparent. you talk to the fixed income market, i was addressing the equity market. the bubble was on the equity side. it is the same dynamics for all players. betty: hang on, we will have you in the next half hour. great to see you as well. former pimco ceo. we will be back in a few minutes. ♪
