1230.lly popped around it is that there before falling off. is thery of the market largest degree of gains. anytime you have financial and tech stocks rallying together, that obviously helps lift the market when you have gains of upward of 4%. when you are looking at amazon and you are looking at apple, they did pretty well. the fact that these are back also goes in line with the idea that we have seen investors favor some of the higher data stock, some that move with greater swings relative to the market. >> apple helping the dow. analyst,talk to the

market is getting too high, but again, this adds to the post-trump rally. >> how much does this affect the big tech heavyweights? the dollar being strong does not always help. >> it is not. past year or so, we had a big drop in earnings and a lot of that was due to the strengthening dollar. now the dollar is moving higher. the question is if we are seeing the trade weighted dollar move higher. according to history, it is higher. it is going to be an interesting question of whether or not a higher dollar or higher rate can offset what we do if we have this push toward government spending and fiscal spending. whether that puts a bottom line assistance to companies who will spend the money and build plans and hire people. but we saw the jobless rate is

>> at this point, now that the c class five report is out, there is more material to dig into. you will see the testimony delve into some of these further details. it is significant that the u.s. intelligence beauty -- community is a naming vladimir putin as having ordered a campaign to meddle in the u.s. election and part of that was to benefit donald trump. >> there seems to be an olive to thegiven from trump intelligence community. is that something you felt on the ground in washington? point of views and the team around him, they feel it is untenable to continue

to have such a negative relationship with the intelligence community. is going to be dependent on the intelligence community to bolster arguments is that he wants to advance. he cannot continue to discredit them and then use them to advance his policies. what we saw today is trump starting to walk back from the extreme racism that he was leveling against u.s. intelligence. >> perhaps not walking back from his anger that he sometimes shows to the media agency and seems to want some kind of investigation about in the leaked report before he did. >> obviously trump will send out all kinds of different subjects and he sent out one today saying there should be a congressional investigation into information about

the intelligence report before he got a briefed on it. this is what we have seen trump do is when he is presented with facts that don't support what he believes, he tries to muddy the waters and raise tangential issues. on theis is is an issue side where he wants to talk about summit news media leaks, when really the weight and force of what happens is the actual intelligence report on russian hacking. of a bloomberg news, great to have you on the show. now a story we are watching, at&t and time warner say there may be an easier route to take to make the merger happen faster. they say they can also avoid scrutiny by not transferring any sec licenses.'s

their fitbit charge. i think this will be the first of many deals of this type in the industry. it is a real indication wearable health technology can drive real health care outcomes and lower costs. caroline: corporate wellness plans made up less than 10% of your overall revenue. can you give us how much corporate wellness will make up in terms of revenue for fitbit? >> it is less than 10% of our revenue today. it is an area of the business we are highly focused on. i think we are inspecting alex: expanding the last expanding on employers to working with insurance companies. it is demonstrated we are continuing to diversify revenue stream sts. cory: do you see the usage differ? do the people use them for a longer time in a less traditional user? >> i think the initial data is

starting to see that. united health care has done a lot of internal research before rolling out this program in a broader way. incentives, $1500, you can earn up to $4 a day. that is a powerful incentive. i think it will be an important tool keeping people engaged and retained on the program. cory: i also wonder what it means for product design. do your product design goals differ and go more towards wellness and less towards running, for example, as you design products for that marketplace going forward? >> i think some of the features might shift. we had to develop some custom functionality for united health care to be part of this integration. we in conjunction with them developed some algorithms for a device that measures things like frequency, intensity, and tenacity of the physical activity of the user. there will be different metrics that will be relevant to the insurance market. caroline: you talk to how this

is an industrywide move. in the u.k., i have seen apple with the smart watches and vitality the health care provider over there. who is the key competition? we have seen smart watches getting cheaper. they are trying to tackle some headwinds. how much of the pie can you keep that fitbit? >> i will challenge the notion our competitors are getting better on the hardware. we still have to see smart watches that achieve more than one day battery life. a lot are still hobbled to the fact they are confined to a single ecosystem. the reason we have such a leadership position, we are number one in almost every country where selling and, is the fact that we are cross-platform. we are focused on health and fitness and have a demonstrated history of working with commercial partners, employers, and now insurance companies to roll out solutions. cory: the last time i went to , last year, it was so much a

show about the wearables and the competitors coming up with wearable devices. everyone from jawbone to under armour and hundreds of others. and yet your market share remains strong. what is helping you maintain that market share? >> there is a lot of players falling out. you are starting to see consolidation in the industry. we were set to pick up a lot of assets of pebble who was an early pioneer in the category. the brand fitbit really stands for health and fitness. we built a lot of loyalty over the years. the fact that we are cross-platform. we have a broad selection of platforms -- products with long battery life, etc. we had a huge community of users. we have shipped over 50 million devices. that community has built a tremendous competitive mode for us over the years. caroline: we have to spend more

year was the software. we did not want hardware this year. that is to signify we are more than a device company. we are a software and solutions company. the things we launch at ces including integration with third etc., ther bicycles, software integration deal with united health care demonstrates the fact our commitment to software will be one of the key differentiating factors in maintaining leadership in this category. and we are excited about it. caroline: the fitbit c.e.o. and editor-at-large cory johnson, great to have you with me. as we wrap up the week that was, alex webb has been showing us some of the best gadgets you never think you need. check out this high-powered tool.

the second half of the shares are left to be earned over the next five years so there is more money for him to be made and there could be more big payouts in years to come if apple keeps doing well. caroline: more money for tim cook, not for his top lieutenants. they saw their money go down in 2016. >> it depends on if you consider $22.8 million a lot of money or not. their pay dropped a little bit. salary stayed the same and so did the equity awards at about $20 million. when did go down was the cash bonus -- what did go down was the cash bonus for 2016. link pay toto performance closely, so they do drastic adjustments to bonuses even though the misses in the gulf for net sales and operating are not that great. caroline: the compensation

on-demand service. is it a primary driver for the changing method of delivery for radio content? >> no. radio contact is at the end of the day companionship. 25% of our stations do not play music. they are taught, sports, etc. it is one more benefit you have and we are doing one more thing. we have events, social. we have free iheartradio service which is fabulous as it is. now you can make radio interactive and come alive, and you can take that music collection and put it with your radio as opposed to their being two separate pieces unconnected. >> are streaming or on-demand services a strong driver of revenue and able to contribute to profitability? >> i think they will be a contributor to revenue at a certain point. we have a lot of revenue. we have over 200 million users every month. we are one of three companies in

standpoint of transforming it from old media into a new media company with digital plays, events, social, etc. this company has always had a lot of debt. when i joined the company, it already had debt from the leveraged eye out done -- by out in 2007-8. for us, we are the first step -- first up is only to get the operating business transformed which is underway and has seen evidence of success. the broadcast audience is up, so we are not being hurt by digital. our digital audience is up. it is a nice add-on and all the other pieces fit together. doingou have a company well, we will figure out how to get the capital structure more normalized. >> understood. i wt to go back to the balance sheet because on the bloomberg we have a function that allows you to see the debt distribution. $21 billion in debt.
