leader but very slightly. it is very much back and neck with the s&p 500 as investors try to assess the downing of the russian jet in turkey and what the implications will be for the global political situation. if you look at the dow as one example and movement throughout came in the news premarket session when we saw -- when we saw stocks fall sharply. so that's quite a turnaround and now it's up i-35. if you look deeper into the s&p 500, it's still looking mixed on a group like group basis. utilities and consumer discretionary's have been the worst-performing group and energy has been the best performing group and that has to do with oil prices, also because of the events in turkey. is some speculation that

it could lead to crimping of supply and because there is such oversupply, any talk of that is driving up prices. those are some of the big cap oil movers we are seeing. is kind of the regular story we see with oil. what are some of the standouts in the other sectors? julie: some of the standouts are the big tech stocks. facebook, alphabet, aka google. amazon had been rising and closed a record yesterday. many of the cap tech stocks have been outperforming as of late, so those are the companies that are pulling back today. you very much. we will check in with julie on some individual names. we want to get to a check on the headlines with mark crumpton at our news desk. u.s. military said it

and "stab in the back." belgian authorities have charged a fifth suspect with terror offenses relating to the paris attacks. authorities are looking for one person seen with a fugitive two days before the attacks. the terror alert in brussels has been extended for a week. the locked down there will start to ease tomorrow. the brussels city subway and school systems will gradually start to reopen. a health official in liberia have recorded their first ebola death since july. a 15-year-old boy who was confirmed positive for ebola died last night. he was the first ebola patient in liberia since it was the clarity ebola free for the second time since set number. traffic deaths in the u.s. spiked -- some of the reasons include texting, distractive

ass.ing me now is martin s you just heard the headlines i gave you. does that make banks more or less attractive to a value investor like yourself? i think there are some more important factors, particularly interest rates. higher rates tend to help the banks and most are sensitive and will get spread widening as a result. is going to be a big issue coming up. in probability the fed hikes december. what could surprise markets and make it vulnerable is with the tightening of the labor markets could be more than

expected and last longer than expected. shallow thaness projected? market ise futures pricing it in at 60 basis points and we are looking at more like 100 basis points. we feel like we could see 100 basis points a year as the fed normalizes policy. what does that mean for the stock market? martin: i think it is a bit fragile on the short-term. we have had a broad bull market and i have been delighted to participate in it. i think one needs to be much more select of. one can't just change -- one can't just chase momentum stocks. we have narrow market breath in

the -- market breadth in the market. of past times that became difficult. prior to the telecom crash, we had that kind of situation. i remember the nifty 50's stocks that preceded a crash in the market. i'm not predicting a big crash, but i think things will get more challenging and investors should focus on high conviction stocks that will show growth well in excess of the markets. are there seems among those kinds of companies or are you looking at a bottom-up respective? martin: sometimes bottom-up, but sometimes a theme emerges. one of our themes of health care. health care stocks had gotten beaten up about -- after hillary's tweet about health

care. there are some leading names like allergan, for example. now it's going to become pfizer. at about 10g now times our estimated 17 pro forma earnings. trade that 16.5 times. the yield will be 4.9%. there's a real disconnect in value. the same with mylan. rejected a bid of $82 a share and now the stock is $50. one -- all ofer those stocks are going to grow

double digits. sensitive to the economy or the emerging markets lowdown. scarlet: what is considered a safe haven? stocks are safe havens in the sense that they are not sensitive to the economy or two interest rates. it's really going to be driven by earnings. ,carlet: and of course consolidation. last year at this time, you told bloomberg there are several sectors ripe for consolidation. what is your call this year? martin: where we are seeing some interest besides health care -- there's also going to be a big high-back which is supportive of stocks and free cash flow, suppliers to the telcos and cable companies -- we have had a

slowdown but that is going to re-accelerate starting in 2016. some of the stocks are really cheap. have an announced acquisition of pace. that u.k. company is sort of an inversion. accretiveny will be to their earnings and diversify nationally. they will be buying back stock and delivering. the bnst closed on division. you have two companies that have consolidated and are getting scale and strength from that and are not being appreciated in the marketplace. scarlet: in more than four

decades of investing, you have helped to launch and nurture some hedge funds. these different companies and investments, do you go for the concept or do you go for the person? martin: it's a little of both. it's more the strategy, which we look for differentiated strategies that are non-correlated and provide real diversification. management is always to glee important. andnage a hedge fund myself a mutual fund. team is the equity team and that is my passion but we also incubate other companies. scarlet: i look forward to seeing you again soon. we have much more coming up in the next 20 minutes. with $234ompany billion in sales last year does

bring to someone. personally, i think it would be kind of creepy. josh: this has been a big problem. a lot of people describe it that way. one person found that it could only send one message essentially from an app ever and once it sent a second message, people started -- people stopped using it. there's also a question about the technology behind it. you have to have the app and a lot of people have downloaded the macy's app. some companies have tried to use it by using more popular apps. the other thing is you have to have the bluetooth turned on. it's not clear how many people do that. there are widely divergent numbers. does it saywhat about the prospects of apple pay?

that is something else apple has tried to venture into and has not hit a home run. josh: i think there's an interesting parallel. mobile payments follow a similar pattern. people in retail have been saying there's a future for a long time. apple introduced its version and now people are asking what is it? why do i need it? it's pretty easy to swipe a credit card. scarlet: it makes you think twice about buying something these days. in thehead, stocks are green after a roller coaster trading day. we're going to look at options next. ♪

that and we could be below that going into the future. we have the ceo of bp saying he sees lower for longer. you want to get into the smaller names and exploration and production companies. so this is an etf with a basket of 64 oil and gas exploration and production companies. that's important because if you look at the major etf, 30% is exxon, mobile, and chevron. diversified. kevin: exactly. this is the way to play it. i came up with an option straight it's real simple. out to35 put all the way april of next year. it gives a couple of months to let the trade shakeout and let producers go bankrupt.

scarlet: live from bloomberg world headquarters in midtown manhattan, you are watching bloomberg markets. i'm scarlet fu. let's get your headlines on first word news with mark

crumpton. mark: a u.s. defense official in washington and nato diplomats say a russian warplanes entered turkish airspace for turkey shot it down. acrossne reportedly flew a two mile section of turkish airspace, meaning it was only there for a matter of seconds. russia disputes that with vladimir putin saying the jet was flying .6 of of mile inside the syrian border. the suspected organizer of the paris terror attacks is believed to have been planning to get the french capital again less than a week after the november 13 violence. that's according to a french prosecutors who said he was targeting a major french district. he was killed during a police raid in a suburb north of paris. and other islamic state attack involving a suicide car bombing targeting a hotel in the northern sinai region of egypt. seven people were killed,

including two judges. the attack was the latest violence in the peninsula. for policeman and a civilian were among the dead and at least 10 people were wounded. the president of tunisia has declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew after an attack on his presidential guard. at least 12 people were killed and dozens wounded in an illusion in tunis. did in an explosion in tunis. funny 7% of americans, or 66 million adults say they have been addicted to painkillers or know someone who has. clips in cars are crashes as the leading cause of accidental deaths in the u.s. these andt more on other breaking stories 24 hours a day at the new bloomberg.com. i'm mark crumpton. scarlet: thank you so much.

we have under 30 minutes until the close of u.s. trading, so we need to check in with abigail doolittle live at the nasdaq looking at the leaders and laggards in today's session. the leaders here is dollar trade, having its best day since the company beat revenue estimates. they did miss earnings estimates driven by higher mix of low-margin family dollar products. this stock has been dogged by liquidation integration issues for six months, but this could signal investors think these problems are coming to an end. turning to two stocks moving down -- priceline and american airlines are down on the state department global travel alert. these companies share something in common -- significant revenue u.s. d from outside the

this could mean these stocks may domesticorm with more revenue and after today, that possibility is stronger with both priceline and american airlines trading below all their major moving averages. abigail doolittle reporting live from the nasdaq. as mark crumpton has been reporting, the french president and president obama declared unity in fighting islamic state today. complicating matters is turkey downing a russian jet which has complicated the international campaign against islamic state. erik schatzker spoke with the former u.s. ambassador to greece and former u.s. ambassador to nato. >> it's going to be interesting if they can convince president putin to turn airstrikes against islamic state. the russian airplanes were not

flying anywhere close to islamic state this morning. in fact, the turkish government had worn the russians in the last several weeks that they had been bombing syrian turkmen villages those to the turkish border. so the russians continue to direct most of their airpower against the enemies of the assad government. not the islamic state. that's a major problem for the coalition. the foreign minister canceled as planned visit to turkey. perhaps that shouldn't surprise anybody. but the language from vladimir putin was especially strong, terming this a stab in the back by the turks. what does that tell you about how they are going to handle the situation in the weeks ahead? the russians are not transparent and not open with their public. they have been trying to convince the public their air operations were going perfectly well and denied any civilian

casualties. i doubt the russians would be open or even tell the truth. they obviously have 24 domestic reasons, act in a tough-minded way. everything will depend on whether the turks can convince the world community that the russian plane did enter turkish airspace. erik: how hard is that to do? guest: it shouldn't be difficult. they are tracking their own fighters and they are to have the own, and if not video, they ought to have radar to establish the position of those airplanes. if they can do that, the united states and other nato countries are going to have to support the right of turkey to defend its own territorial airspace and its own sovereignty. warned theave russians a multitude of times not to cross the border, which the russians have been doing.

and here is the balance -- it is in the interest of everyone not to see a repetition of this and see an escalation of the conflict. i think the united states would asking themcenes be 2-d conflict their operations and have transparency between their airports -- there are forces. which country can prevent most meaningful role in preventing this situation from escalating? guest: turkey and russia, of course. aen that the united states is nato ally of turkey and we are in communications with the russians, we are well placed to do that. to make the point to president putin that he needs to control his air force and keep them out of the territory of other time,ies, but at the same openness and transparency where the militaries are talking to typeother to prevent this

of incident -- no one wants to see an escalation. it is dangerous and does weaken the fight against islamic state. scarlet: that was nicholas burns speaking to erik schatzker. and one more note -- bloomberg news published a story about the stocks with the most to lose should tensions escalate further. includes russian energy companies as turkey is russia's second-biggest market for export. other companies include the russian search engine. you can see the reaction right there in the late hours of u.s. trading. coming up in the next 20 minutes, what are the best stocks to own for 2016? his opinions share and here's a hint -- they are largely in the tech sector. hedge funds specializing in distress debts are having their worst year since 2008.

investment category -- characteristics, to get margin tire. >> when you think about visa and all the disruption in that business. david: when you think about these and the strength of the balance sheet. mike analyst colleagues and where they are finding margin expanding opportunities come a can be different drivers of that. domestic revenues -- we talked earlier about why for king markets and stocks that will do well and stocks that will do less well. growing, theomy stronger dollar and not having to contend with export competition. ,.s. bancorp, wells fargo there's a lot of characteristics we are looking for. >> everything you have mentioned is a service company, not an industrial. thed: that's one of

characteristics we picked in our basement. the transcripts of the companies from their quarterly conference calls. one characteristic we found is the idea that the consumer is strong but the industrial facing businesses are showing signs of contraction. that's the management reflecting demand for their products. that there's less demand for oil services or oil spending. that is capital spending revenues for the industrial companies. point, there are a lot of industrial companies having more challenging environments and less revenue growth and margin expansion opportunities. >> we know what you love. what do we want to avoid? david: weaker balance sheet companies. >> is there ever a year you are looking for a week balance sheet? but for years, you had extraordinary outperformance,

one of the most steady outperformance and the reason was, if the fed was keeping rates low, that was enhancing the opportunities, but that's not the environment we want to be in. .hat was the 2015 story he wanted to shift from a weaker balance sheet series of multi-your outperformance to stronger balance sheet companies. you are saying avoid weak balance sheet companies and industrial. are we really just talking about oil companies in the west doing the shale play? david: companies that are driving most of their revenues from international is a challenge. it's a challenge with a dollar that's likely to continue to be increasing. scarlet: that was the chief u.s. equity strategist at goldman sachs speaking this morning. let's stay on this theme of what

is ahead for 2016 and look at where valuations and earnings are right now. joining us right now is joe weisenthal to give us a preview lix will beand a talking about on "what'd you miss?" end, the overall headline was not very good. everyone knows it was dragged down by the weak dollar. the strong dollar. joe: excuse me, the strong dollar. people are coming out with their forecast for 2016. i'm a traditionalist and the people should wait till after thanksgiving. but they are coming out. you can hear he's not excited about 2015. there are some specific stocks but 2016 is going to be kind of a mess scarlet:.

the strong dollar being a drag on earnings will continue to be a theme. the federal reserve will either begin to continue on that path -- we just don't know what the path is going to look like. : there's been a lot of hope were we have these quarters where everyone complains about the strong dollar, but maybe it won't fade away given so many strategists think dollar strength is going to be with us for a while. it would not be that surprising to see several quarters intro tore as the dollar continues rise, especially these companies with a lot of foreign exposure would say it may have been better were it not for the dollar. they usually do beat analyst estimates, but the margin is starting to strength. joe: exactly. every quarter, you expect me to this was not a fantastic order in terms of earnings beat.

nottheme -- people are just that excited about stocks right now. you are not going to find many people saying sell stocks but it's hard to find a lot of bullish enthusiasm. an analyst from bank of america came out for a call for 3500 on untilp, but that's not 2025. her call is like next year is going to be ok, but long-term, stocks are the only game in town , so it doesn't make sense to get out of them. scarlet: i was talking with he was talking about near-term caution and how you don't want to get too far ahead of yourself. look at strong balance sheet and companies that are not linked with the economy, but safe haven types. joe: everyone is looking for those stocks with a strong allen's sheets and their own

secular growth story that doesn't have to do with the economy. for a long time, facebook was and probably still is and amazon, people don't think it is economically sensitive, regardless of what the dollar does this quarter. scarlet: and they don't rely on buybacks. joe weisenthal and alix steel have a stellar lineup for "what'd you miss?" they will discuss equity valuations. coming up on bloomberg markets, the market closes just a few minutes away. here's a look at how some of the most heavily traded stocks are today. ge, pfizer, bank of america all moving higher. cisco trading down by .1%. ♪

so when you see selling pressure or any sort of rush for the exits, they all get out at the that drag the etf down and exacerbate volatility to the downside. scarlet: do you see that same kind of crowded mentality and distrust that as well? a little bit. some of the legacy investments that these mps had, they are all in that and that was the last time there was an exciting trade for them. not a lot of new big stuff that's exciting. argentina is doing well that not as well as you might think. ricod that, maybe puerto energy will pan out but these things are far away. decide what to fund companies they should try? are they just taking their cues from each other? joe: that is pretty interesting.

it is somewhat of a self the filling office he. those funds are all reaching similar conclusions. is heavily owned, so we should included in our fund. worth considering something beyond just the trade percentage of hedge fund ownership. companieso look at where there might be a crowded position and the number of funds in the stock is extremely high and the average daily trading volume is disproportionately high. a concern i hear more and more from people who allocate hedge funds. how much is a fund portfolio similar to the next one they own , whether it be in distress or in stocks or event driven? all these different strategies being sold off at once hit a lot of people. your few out performers on the stock side have owned different things or tried to own different

things. they say that they do and we more or less have to choose to believe them. the stress is keeping money off the table and just a few little places here and there, otherwise it's hard to make money. avoidt: and try to energy. everything else has taken a hit because of it. scarlet: thank you so much. for bloomberg markets. as we had to break, here's another look at how stocks are trading. -- as we head to break, here's another look at how stocks are trading. ♪
