10:18 am
yahoo! was never able to get the focus it needed to have a true identity under her watch. she has come under a lot of heat from shareholders, activist shareholders. i think in the end, selling to verizon for close to $5 billion will be seen as likely the best outcome she could have had. there were talks that yahoo! might not have been able to sell the company at all. activist investors came in and very much pushed for a sale. this has been going on for many months. it has been a long and dysfunctional sales process from almost everyone i spoke to. there have been contentious points between marissa mayer and the board. she wanted to stay on with yahoo!, maybe pairing up with a private equity firm. it looks like verizon will acquire this, it was the most likely one entire time.

10:34 am
than stocks, and you think that an increase in interest rates from the fed could be positive for the s&p 500. tom: yes. in terms of tactically, short-term, i think august scares us. one of the things you mentioned is what's unusual today is yields are lower on bonds than stocks, dividend yields are higher and now bonds have higher volatility than equities. whenever you've seen that situation in the short-term, it usually means stocks don't do well in the next month. that's why i think in the short-term we could see some weaknesses. been pretty good quarter so far. we've had 81% of earnings beating analyst profit estimates. they are falling for the fifth quarter in a row. since longest streak 2009. i brought this tournament bloomberg to illustrate how valuations have been outpacing the stock rallies. we have had stock multiples rising 613% this year, amidst falling earnings. surely there has got to be some kind of bearish outlook taking
10:35 am
this into account. that chart is very interesting, but the most extensive sector in the s&p 500 today is energy, which is trading at 80 times trailing earnings. so when you look at the rest of the market, it's trading at closer to 14 or 15 times. i think that chart is a little misleading in the sense that we can't value energy is zero, because market is forward-looking in future commodity prices and energy credits have held up. but all the gets that expensive. vonnie: your overall target is for 2325 in the next six months. the month of august you are saying to worry if you see a drop. -- don't worry if you see a drop. tom: the average drawdown is around 6%. august in the last seven years has been a bad month for stocks. it may be irrational to say i seem to recall august always being dangerous, i would rather

10:37 am
of the equity markets in the bond markets, they aren't a zero-sum game. most bull markets are characterized by a rally in bonds and positive returns in equities. the idea or the notion that bonds can be going up and stocks would have to go down, i think it is a false view, i think it's a narrative that is being advanced by people who are too bearish. lee, thank you. some fascinating perspectives with your bullish view on the s&p 500. up next, more brexit blues. the u.k. decision to leave the european union has inflicted immediate below on the economy as business activity shrank. it is raising concerns around the globe. lagarde inristine china has blamed the u.k. for a downgrade to global gdp forecast.
10:38 am
>> i was hoping to come today for the first time in six years, revise upwards the forecast for growth. and i would have done that, because china, japan, the euro area were doing better than what we had expected. but, unfortunately, the united kingdom decided to go for brexit. so we had to revise downward. for more on this, let's bring in simon kennedy. head of brexitch bloomberg coverage of the moment. we heard her comments, they're essentially seems to be blaming the u.k. for the outlook globally. producedrlier, the imf

a bit off the global growth forecasts. it did bigger damage to the u.k. forecast then certainly the rationale behind that is underscore today by the pmi reports that you saw which showed that big slump when you take manufacturing and services and for them together. nejra: that report is one of the first indications of the impact of brexit, not just on the u.k., but on the eurozone with the flash pmi we got. , isbig question here is that just a post-break the reaction, were a sign of further weakness? simon: we will have to see. the office of national statistics said it will take until august to fight out of the hard data is going to show a similar problem that we saw today. certainly, the confidence indicates they're the ones that come first do not suggest a great path of the u.k. economy. vonnie: what about the g-20? what kind of communiqué can we expect? draft obtained this

afternoon seems to point to some confidence that they can whether this any storm from the u.k.. when you look at the global growth forecasts produced by morgan stanley and the like this week, they seem to be quite confident that the rest of the world can do just about ok even with brexit. vonnie: doesn't get worse once article 50 is triggered next year? simon: they could will do. the case for worrying about article 50 is point out by the economist at morgan stanley. it's the uncertainty about it. the two-year span in which the u.k. have to negotiate its way out of the club, and what that means for afterwards are going to be a source of considerable doubt for markets, for executives and stakeholders in the economy. the article 50 process is going to cast a shadow over the economy. nejra: we also heard from the bank of him when governor mark carney this point. what did he have to say? when the is that
