is "bloomberg technology." coming up, s&p 500 on a six-week winning streak. tech helping to ignite the boom. is it sustainable? we will identify potential eadwinds on the horizon. tech ipo's are back on the menu southeast asia's most valuable startup leading the charge in ew york. tech earnings on tap with major players lining up reports for next week. we will preview the biggest companies. u.s. stocks closed out friday's session at record highs, new record highs, the fourth straight positively for the nasdaq. what can slow down the gains? michael regan and david kirkpatrick joining us from new york. michael, does the tech rally have room to run?

>> i think if you look at the forecast growth rates for your main tech companies, they are so strong that the valuations almost seem reasonable in most cases. i like to look at the peg ratio which compares the p/e ratio to the long-term forecast earnings growth. if you look at anyone from facebook to apple, google, they all look reasonable. amazon is kind of an outlier. i don't think you can find a valuation metric for amazon that looks cheap. the high valuations are not necessarily scary when you look at the forecast growth rates. the one risk people are talking a lot about now is regulatory risk, especially with the hearings coming up on capitol hill about russia's involvement with facebook and google and twitter during the election. i don't see it being a big risk to their business. but i do think it will be something interesting a lot of people will be curious to see how it pans out.

emily: on that note, david, as they get ready to appear before congress, that has not seemed to impact the business at all. yet they are answering serious questions about russian meddling on their platforms, the advertising model, as well as fake news. david: i have been surprised here has not been any response from wall street on the regulatory scrutiny directed at facebook and some of the other companies. i will say i think the russian thing is just the tip of an iceberg. the real issue has to do with the nature of targeting on facebook and whether or not it is a media company or not, given it is funded by advertising and will allow any ads to run that somebody wants to pay for. if that were to change, it could affect facebook's revenue. hat could affect profits and

valuation over time. the question is the scale of hese things. they are hard to analyze from ere. i think there will be economic impact of the regulatory onslaught. it is not just scrutiny. it is a building onslaught facing facebook and google. emily: that will be in the spotlight november 1. do you think we will see reaction in the stock as we get closer? >> i think it all depends on what comes out of the hearings. it is the lawyers for the companies appearing. the c.e.o.'s are not on the hot seat. i would be curious to see if congress says we do want the c.e.o.'s here, to hear their side of things. a lot depends on how these lawyers perform, if they give ongress the information they need. if there are surprises that come from the hearings. i think russia is just one of several regulatory risks you have to look at when it comes to big cap technology. president trump has made it no

secret he is not a big fan of jeff bezos and amazon and feels they are not paying the taxes they should. some lawmakers have brought up the idea of antitrust when it comes to amazon. you read what the antitrust experts say and it does not sound that there is a strong case for that because they are not dominating any single business within retail. they are not dominating the cloud. we do have a president who has made it no secret he is not a fan of the company. if i were to pluck out one major regulatory risk for any of these stocks, i would look at amazon especially because it has been sort of ignoring valuation metrics. investors don't care with the p/e is. they don't care what the price to sales is. they are in it for the long haul. there watching amazon gross sales and market share. it is an interesting time to come up against that sort of risk. emily: amazon, that has been the story of the company the last several years and it comes to investors. the amazon/whole foods deal did not get scrutiny at all. david, mark zuckerberg and sheryl sandberg will not be

testifying before congress because that is also the day facebook is holding its earnings call on november 1. we also have google earnings coming up. do you expect to see any impact on the actual business when we look at the numbers for this quarter? david: i don't expect to see any impact on the numbers for this quarter to speak of. as i said before, i think we will see economic impact on these companies, particularly facebook, long-term. i think it is a mistake for zuckerberg not to be appearing before the senate intelligence committee. i think to send the lawyers is diminishing the significance of the investigation. i would almost take a bet that within six months, zuckerberg will be testifying in front of congress in some fashion. probably larry page as well. that is the way things are headed. emily: next week, what are you looking for when it comes to the stocks? >> when i look at big cap tech, far and away the leader of the stock market this year, the s&p technology index is up 37%. facebook is up 32%. there are some jitters around the stocks. we have seen big pullbacks in tech stocks this year only to see them recover quickly. the market is on edge for whether the theme of reflation, higher inflation, higher interest rates will take hold. that could cause a little rotation in the stock market. i am not sure it would cause a big drop in tech stocks. but it might cost them that leadership position in the

market. investors seem to be on edge trying to decide whether it is a good time to rotate into the more value stocks, financials, energy companies, out of ech. that has been a back-and-forth drama we have seen all year. i suspect it will continue. emily: mike regan, i know you will keep us apprised next week. david kirkpatrick, c.e.o. of techonomy, you are sticking with me. u.s. stocks were not the only thing setting a record on friday. bitcoin also closed at a record high. at one point, crossing $6,000. the digital currency has gained more than 500% as investors continue to shrug off the potential for increased regulation. coming up, are tech stocks overvalued? we will post the question to the light street capital founder. "bloomberg technology" is live streaming on twitter. check us out. this is bloomberg. emily: a stock we are watching, paypal rose to a record after beating estimates for earnings and giving a strong forecast for the end of the year. the digital payment company has been campaigning to expand the service beyond websites and is getting a boost as more retail sales look to compete with amazon. users can now send and receive money via facebook's messenger app. tiger cubs are some of the hottest hedge fund managers around and have become influential tech investors. light street capital is probably he hottest of all.

technology. alphabet sides with lyft and a showdown with uber. the value ly -- they value lyft at $11 million. they are in a better lawsuit. joining me to discuss this is tom and david, our guest hosts for the hour. what is your take that google is backing lyft after all these years knowing they have a big stake in uber? >> you can look at it as if they are hedging their risks. the ridesharing businesses are growing like crazy and they want to have a hand in both. obviously, they are not making a bigger bet on lyft than on uber. they had a lot of conflicts. there is a little bit of emotional subtext here. i think both companies will be
