points, 203 points. 1.1% accelerating losses we had day.over the course of the the s&p 500 down 0.8% as well as the nasdaq. the big weight on markets is and continues to be corporate earnings, in particular retail stocks. earnings growth i want to point out is down 8.7% year on year from this time last year when earnings growth is a paradox. let's hop into the imap function. what to show you the sector health of the s&p five sectors. we can see eight of the 10 sectors are in the red. energies of the most by 0.2%. this had been higher in the day, 0.33%, but it has paired with some gains. prices fall in the u.s. crude supply down 2.4 million barrels. we see consumer discretionary down the most, to present nearly. that is because of retail stocks

and earnings pulling things down. let's look at the s&p 500 for the past two days. i shown this because we know what happened yesterday. result of the best rises in two months for the stock market. all,hey rise, we see this so it is like it did not even happen. we are up a half a percent you are so, as if they canceled each other out. but one i want to show you is with amazon, and there is no doubt in your mind we know where this one is heading. 2%..3% here, just more than that is also at the record high share price, past the $700 mark. your data is up by 50%. there are also negatives. biggest point losers on the s&p are behind me.

disney, you know what has been happening, down 4%, missing revenue, axon falling despite the oil supply. home depot down 2.44%, and walmart down 3.3%. that is potentially off of retail votes. vonnie: i with the exception of amazon, it is tough being great. peopleraders are worried are not forking out the money they were hoping they would this year after the downturn of last year. let's take a look at the biggest department stores in the past day or so and how they have been performing or the lack thereof. macy's down 14%. we know that some stores were down 6%, indicating in in terms of revenue. they fell short by hundred $60 million. for the one year, it gets even worse. years is down 52% the past

basis, investors that put money in go to sleep and wake up 30 years from now will have made no money. >> writes. began in the 1940's, you added 20, 25 bear markets going back to 1989, this is the most overvalued market, there is more leverage. thanks have lost all of their ammunition, and there is so much credit outstanding throughout the world. and it is a bear market. there is always an upside and downside. eric: he's in a couple of things i need to follow up on. the most overvalued? milton: we are definitely at the most overvalued. the ratios in the new york stock exchange are just above the be .atio from 2009 markets are way overvalued.

yields are low. we were 30 years ago when you have 5% on stock. now you get 1%. yields is way overvalued. eric: and you mentioned central banks. what if mario draghi's whatever it takes really is whatever it takes? milton: if it means hyperinflation in germany, stocks will do well, but not relative to the rate they will create. stocks are beginning of their markets. -- itl terms, and not could be a 3000 present in the next few years. eric: there is no inflation. milton: your question was what is draghi had to do that? eric: we have not seen any -- it is extraordinary. milton: there is so much credit in the system. disallowing people to borrow more and more money does not

help the system. -- it causes a greater bubble. when i got into business, there were many bubbles. each individual had its own trouble. united states inflating a bubble while germany was deflating. is one big bubble. all of the central banks are in unison. so when it pops, it will be terrible. eric: pretty terrible means what i don't know the answer. it is one of two major things. --her acceleration in place or they will turn to real inflation, which is no printing. helicopter money. it is disastrous either way. eric: a lot of people will disagree with you. some already have. why is this a bear market first 30 years? it a massive direction

like we were discussing had things get back in track? milton: you can always go straight up the next 30 years. most people here believe in long-term buy stocks holding for 30 years and make eight cents per annum. eric: is that what you are saying? juliette: you buy the stocks and hold for a long time. milton: it was never correct. it is such average prices overseas three, on average you make 10%. if you are about average, in the , two present a pricing, you make 1% per annum in the future. in 1932 he made percent over a long term. it is not average. you are getting to an important points. even if people disagree with you on the 30 year bear market, you are about how to make money. how do you?

the typical -- milton: the typical investor should wait for a crisis to be over. a market timer, but usually you can see when they are doing well. wait for the next crisis, but your money under the pillow. and by the lows. it may not be long-term. but investors must maintain flex ability or the market will be volatile. volatile been pretty the last four years. i measured the s&p trading range. we had the lowest, greatest number of days with the range since 1928 over the last year. so there will be volatility in the future. we see declines capitalizing on volatility. he speaks oflients are the world's biggest hedge fund managers at milton berg.

hard to see any immediate pickup. hopefully by the end of the year, by q4 and christmas time, we can see even if the economy picks up, we see an uptick. over the summer months, retail is in for a long, long period. ramy: i can see your eyes bugging out. [laughter] this has been down for the past month, but for the first time today, up 5%. what you feel? that two had asked me or three hours ago, i would have said the market was trying to buck the news from disney and the retail scale, the awful news we are seeing. as the market goes down considerably during the day, the vix is up 5%. i'm not seeing a rush, but i am seeing put/call ratio elevated from where we see in the past. we still don't see the huge

climb, getting to 17, 18 handle, but 15% is notable. it is accelerating during the the buying is accelerating during a day. we will see the follow-through tomorrow officially on friday. ramy: and with the theme of retail, you are looking at falls for a trade. walk me through what you are looking at this in the spotlight. >> we have hurting coming out tomorrow morning. bugged out my eyes earlier, retail is so bad. what i am saying will surprise you and everyone else, but what i like specifically about kohl's is the stock has had a natural 2-for-1 split, trading 80, down now 39. that is not great. they have lowered expectations, analysts have going forward. so if they come out tomorrow morning and kohl's to report

sales estimates in line with the reduce guidance already and not reduce any further, i think the stock is ripe for a pop. not a massive pop, but the upside call spread from reward to risk standpoint are really cheap right now. if we get any sort of news, i want to take advantage of that. what i am looking to do is going 240o june, i want to buy a -- i can use that for $.40, which is extremely cheap from the dollar standpoint and from volatility based on with the market is seeing as a potential move in kohl's. june, about after five dollar move. that could be to the downside. that is not saying if it is up or down. if we get the projected move to the upside, my reward is phenomenal. $.40.e risk i have is

providers which trade in these products are now related by dodd frank, the plethora of relations. the result you have seen is they are reducing their economic capital, and most recently political capital. to effectively try to understand and do what is right with respect to these cash flows. the liquidity provision mechanisms that had been there --yes, it is think gone over 50% of the past three years. erik: the withdrawal of the banks from markets means that when there is a selloff, you kn ow, there's nothing to stop it? clayton: certainly banks have

now seen themselves in a business --matching buyers and sellers. i think that is what he saw mid-february. spreads widened out where buyers wanted to step in and participate in the cash flow. if the fundamental cash flow is beename and you haven't curated the projection of default or prepayments on a protracted basement -- basis, yield has gotten wider. part of that is natural and parts you tuesday. the required -- the repricing of the liquidity provision. erik: you should get paid for a better. clayton: i think we are now. spreads will not see compressed to print january levels. clayton: our market has been training wider for the past six

on a go forward basis. which we are ok with. erik: what kinds of things are you doing now? clayton: we are doing more lending through this cycle. a trade where we have allocated maybe 10% of the portfolio of the last few years. we are in partnership with nine -- nine of the largest commercial mortgage originators that are underwriting commercial mortgage loans under a commercial guideline program. the way it was, we get to look at these assets and we get to effectively underwrite the individual loans at the time of origination. we will balance sheet it, basically that 0-10%. erik: this is way before securitization. clayton: i think this is part of this paradigm shift in the weight you see capital get treated now. thes the -- before

organization. -- we want to get paid if we do the credit work. we do not want to get paid if prices go up or down. we want to get paid for doing the appropriate yield on that cash flow for the duration, be it three or four or five years. there are some questions and doubts being raised about the durability of the credit rally we have seen since february 11. how do you feel about that? clayton: i have probably been on record a few years ago thing that spreads will not continue to tighten ad nauseam. we think that beta has for the most part let the market if you use ago. we are taking a big bet on ofing long assets with a lot spread duration and seeing those go tighter. we have done the opposite. we want to increase the current carry-on the book, want to buy cash flow that has a nice
