♪ emily: i'm emily chang in san francisco. this is "best of bloomberg technology." volatility is the main headline. tech is leading the way. we break down tech's role in the slum. facebook is divided, a new report of tension between zuckerberg and sandberg. how are the troops responding? almost a year ago, bitcoin hit $20,000 and it has tumbled more than 75% from the peak.
4:01 am
have the cryptocurrency's best days come and gone? the tech wrote -- rout in the stock market. apple, amazon, facebook, and alphabet have lost over $800 billion combined since the end of august, putting silicon valley on edge and raising concern, have we reached peak tech? we caught up with bob o'donnell and jim wheaton who says tech regulatory risks are just beginning. >> the biggest thing in the room is that the u.s. economy is headed for a significant slowdown, not necessarily a recession, but growth is headed toward 2% or less. that is more than wall street expected for the slowdown. this is not just a tech event, it is an entire market event. it goes beyond the stock market. there is recession fear.
4:02 am
what has says it feel to this fire is the leadership, the place where everyone has money, have started to unravel in that has generated more fear than having the rest of the stock market fall. i do not think we will have a christmas rally. we might have a capitulation panic, maybe before the year is thing goes this below the overall lows we had this year and probably goes lower and creates panic about imminent recession in the end of the bull market. that could be a good buying opportunity. we have to wait and see. emily: is the fear warranted? >> short-term, warranted. we have been living in an area where there are unrealistic valuations for big tech companies. we have to look at this more macro level.
4:03 am
fundamentally, we have had companies build up valuations that most people said, this is not realistic. in a way, it is not surprising. we are getting there. we are finally seeing a mature tech industry being perceived not as a teenager, but as somebody in their 30's and more mature in terms of their perspective. i think all of these things influence this and fundamentally, these are strong companies long-term. near-term, valuations need to be corrected. wall street is taking advantage of this turn down to readjust these valuations. emily: is this about valuation or is this about sustainability of business models? if people are not buying as many iphones or buying into facebook, isn't that a problem? >> it is more about not so much adjusting valuations as it is adjusting growth rates for the industry as a whole. as well as for these companies. i am not a tech expert. it seems the pace of innovation
4:04 am
in technology has slowed from what it was that drove this. the last big thing is the iphone. the ipad was big, but it becomes a bigger iphone. the i watch has not been earth shattering. twitter and facebook are hugely popular but they have basically ofn the same for a period time. the constant pace of innovation to more dramatic products that drove demand has slowed and it brings into question, not so much valuation, but what growth rate are you going to put on a company like apple? is it hitting the ibm microsoft mature cycle where you have to downgrade that? there is also challenges to the entire internet. who gets to decide what constitutes hate speech or fake news or manipulation? is it all free speech? are we going to have the
4:05 am
internet be open or is it going to be regulated and who gets to be the moral authority to do that? the decisions will greatly affect the business models of a number of companies. not to mention, how much can you use user information and reselling? -- in reselling? there are challenges to amazon monopoly status, much like there was to microsoft in the past. there are a number of challenges tune industry that was -- to an industry that was way over owned from an investment perspective. when we put those two together, it is a challenge with the sector, as well as the overall mark. emily: how big a threat do you think regulation is or is it about trust in the companies? people are fundamentally questioning, do i want to share my data? >> regulation is an issue for facebook. i am not as concerned for the other faang stocks. emily: despite the monopoly prospect? >> yes. i understand there are concerns
4:06 am
around specific areas and the rate of innovation. fundamentally, if you look at what is going on, there are a lot of interesting technologies developments. these valuations were based on growth expectations that could not continue forever. we are seeing growth expectations are coming down and there is a recognition that they cannot possibly continue. there are things coming. there will be interesting things in 2019, foldable phones. a lot of people have their doubts. emily: i am not so sure. >> here is the thing. all kidding aside. the truth is, the general market has been concerned with smartphones being the last big innovation. i am saying is there a different , way to think about these? i think it is an interesting category. it brings a wow factor back. it gives people a new way to consume services, netflix on different types of devices. ♪
4:07 am
emily: that was jim polson and bob o'donnell. the gloom around the global electronics and do stray -- electronics industry getting gloomier with foxconn. the biggest supplier of iphones is cutting $2.9 billion from expenses in the next year, citing a difficult and competitive year ahead. the company also said the business will need to reduce expenses by $900 million next year and has plans to eliminate 10% of non-technical staff. the news follows a bad week for apple after four suppliers cut their revenue estimates because of weak iphone demands. we're joined from taipei to discuss. >> 50% of foxconn's revenue does come from apple. they are the number one supplier. they are important to foxconn. $6 of the $20 billion in cuts is
4:08 am
in the iphone division, the part that assembles iphones. there is a lot more in other divisions. what that tells us is this is not an iphone only problem. it is broader. foxconn's catalogue of clients includes hp, cisco, dell, a long list of international names. they are all impacted. they'll feed into this wider issue that we are seeing in the electronics industry and foxconn is the one company that gets hit by all of it. emily: what is the wider issue, that people are just not buying hardware? or the market is not growing as much as it has been? >> it is all of those things. we have a macro economic headwind. people are getting caught up in trade tensions, u.s.-china tensions. it is bigger and deeper than that. that is a smokescreen, a distraction. we know that apple itself is
4:09 am
trying harder to sell more units. in the last earnings, they said, we will not tell you how many we ship. we are going to focus on revenue. it will not be good news on the shipment side. the smartphone market overall has reached its peak in terms of growth numbers. more people will continue to buy smartphones, but not at the same level. pcs are not back in vogue. we are looking at other areas of hardware. the apple watch might take up some of the slack. things like service devices are sold are never seen by consumers like you and me. we never see the hardware but it is there. if there is a slowdown elsewhere, in the internet area, in spotify or facebook or google, if those slow down, we could see that impact wider. it comes back to foxconn, the company that has its finger in
4:10 am
all of these companies because it is the largest manufacturer. third-quarter revenue soared 49% at xiaomi. the chinese smartphone maker relied on its presence in emerging markets to offset demand for devices. shipments rose and the global -- shipments rose while the global smartphone market shrank 6%. coming up next, will those who hold the power at facebook ever change? our next guest says they have to. we speak to julie goodrich next. if you like bloomberg news, check us out on the radio, listen on the bloomberg app and on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: to our continued
4:13 am
coverage of facebook in crisis, critics are out in full force following reports of bad management. in a public statement last week, the board said to suggest that they knew about russian interference or tried to ignore or prevent investigations into it is grossly unfair. in the last 18 months, facebook with the full support of the board has invested in more people and better technology to prevent misuse of its services, including during elections. zuckerberg and sandberg are members of that same board standing behind them. soundinguest has been the alarm for change in the power structure at facebook. julie goodridge is the ceo of northstar asset management and they currently hold over 37,000 shares in the company. they have been clamoring for a one share one-vote policy at facebook, something zuckerberg
4:14 am
has worked to avoid. she joined us from boston on monday. julie: this is the problem with corporate governance when you have an insider board. mark zuckerberg has the power to fire anyone of his board members at any time. it takes away the sense of autonomy that other board members have. if they are concerned about maintaining their relationship with the company. i think it is problematic. emily: do you sense an opportunity to agitate for this? do you have plans to do so? julie: we have the same shareholder resolution file. just so folks know, probably everyone listening does, mark zuckerberg has primarily class b shares, which give him 10 times the voting power. what that means is he controls 51% of the vote but only owns 30% of the stock.
4:15 am
that is a problem for other shareholders. for example, in the resolution we filed last year asking for there to be one vote per share, to only have one class structure, class a, what ended up happening was we only got 21% of the vote. if you looked at all of the other shareholders who voted in favor of our resolution, we received 81% of the class a share vote, which is high. emily: you have other investors calling for an actual board shakeup, calling for mark zuckerberg to step down as chair. take a listen to jonas krome. it needs to be somebody genuinely independent, who can speak with gravitus and can speak with authority and confidence of the rest of the members of the board.
4:16 am
they need to be somebody with a broad diversity of experience, tech experience and there could also be merit in having someone from a traditional media, the newspaper industry that has a deep understanding of the role of media and society. somebody with time on their hands because this is going to be a long few years ahead of the company. emily: zuckerberg responded saying this is not part of the plan as of now. would you like to see him step aside? julie: the person i would like to see step aside is peter keele. i would like to see the vote structure changed. i think it might not be great for him to completely step aside, although i would certainly vote in favor of that. we would support trillium on that resolution. the issue for me is that when you take a founder like zuckerberg and have them step aside, it means something scary for the shareholders.
4:17 am
i think what he needs is better corporate governance. he needs to let go of insider shares and go back to a one vote per share structure. even when the times tried to throw sheryl sandberg under the bus, these guys are responding to issues that occurred in the course of doing business over several years. what is scary is that they did not anticipate that these kinds of things could happen. that is the scary thing. where you look at somebody like peter keele, he was very instrumental in supplying cambridge analytica through the other company that he is the ceo of with ways to access this information and to infiltrate the facebook system. he is the one that could have said, hey, we want to be careful about our governance here.
4:18 am
emily: i want to dig a little deeper into your thought on peter keele, who is very controversial on the facebook floor for a number of reasons, not the least of which is support for president trump. mark zuckerberg has said he he supports keele remaining on the board because he adds to the diversity that they would like to see represented. i think we are talking about his association where he is a cofounder, not the ceo. talk to me about why you want to see peter keele of all the board members, to step down. julie: because when he came out with his outrageous support, hugely public support of donald trump, he ends up holding himself high as a representative of facebook. it was not facebook that came
4:19 am
out with that but what has happened over the last several years is facebook, by virtue of the way it started to change the way it did business. instead of taking regular advertising for people looking for shoes or computer equipment, they started taking money for political ads. that is very similar to the way that peter keele came out publicly about his support of a political candidate. i do not think and this is all since citizens united. i do not think it is appropriate. in fact, it is illegal for facebook to have taken ads from a foreign power to support or in any way have a say on any sort of elections in the united states. it is not legal to do that.
4:20 am
i do not know if they need a corporate governance guy on their or a government affairs understandseally how security laws work or if they need somebody to think about, are they making so much money from running political ads that they need to keep running political ads and running commentary from paid sources around political matters? i do not really think that is how facebook imagined itself. i am sure that is not, what is now middle-aged people who are still on facebook, still using it, i do not think that is why they go on facebook. it is one thing to report the news, another thing to create the news. emily: that was julie goodrich. coming up, it is nasa's turn to go after elon musk. that story is ahead.
