were 86 hundred publicly traded stocks. even the smallest stock was a big stock. now, that has been cut in half so the smaller russell stocks are really tiny and a lot of them are not profitable, so a lot of the numbers in the russell, where you say a record high 36% of stocks are unprofitable, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that these are a different kind of stocks. an apples to apples comparison over the last 20 years is it really doable. romaine: s&p 500 closing at all-time highs. call it what you want, but is a record high. joe: something that is catching my eye, pretty big outperformance from the s&p 500 to the nasdaq. i just ran a chart. the tech weakness,

4:02 pm
suggests more big moves ahead. we will be interested to see whether it balances out shortly with volatility. a look at shares of qualcomm awaiting first-quarter earnings. they were up about 2.2%. really high expectations on 5g spending. could be a big tailwind. deutsche bank is coming and expecting big things. citigroup, one of the most exposed stocks. with record highs, qualcomm up 80% or so in the last year. really the only headwind we should be hearing about is some of the fears from the coronavirus and disruption not only on the consumer side but on the supply chain, given the big exposure in china.

getting ready to hold the impeachment vote. >> as a reminder to the chamber demonstrations, of approval or disapproval are prohibited. >> the majority leaders recognized. >> the senate is ready to vote on the articles of impeachment and after that is done, we will adjourn the court. >> the clerk will now read the first article of impeachment. >> article one, abuse of power. the constitution provides that the house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment. that the president shall be removed from office on conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. in his conduct in the office of president, in violation of his constitutional duty to faithfully execute the office of the president and to the best of his ability preserve, protect
4:06 pm
and defend the constitution and in violation of his constitutional duties to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, donald trump has abused the powers of the presidency in that using the powers of his office, president trump solicited the interference of a foreign government in the 2020 united states presidential election. he did so through a course of conduct that included soliciting the government of ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his election, harm the prospects of a political opponent and influence the presidential election to his advantage. president trump also saw to pressure the government of ukraine to take the steps by conditioning official united on as government acts public announcement of the investigation. president trump engaged in this ineme for corrupt purposes
4:07 pm
pursuit of personal benefit. in doing so, president trump used the powers of the presidency in a manner that andromise the united states undermined the democratic process. president trump engaged in this scheme through the following acting- president trump directly outside the united states government corruptly solicited the government of ukraine to publicly announce investigations into a political opponent, former vice president joseph biden, and a discredited theory promoted by russia alleging that ukraine interfered in the 2016 united states presidential election. motives,same corrupt president trump directly and through agents outside the united states government conditioned to official acts of public announcements he had
4:08 pm
requested. the release of $391 million of taxpayer funds that congress had a perforated for the purpose of providing vital security and a headto ukraine of state meeting at the white house which the president of ukraine salt to demonstrate continued support for the government of ukraine in the face of russian aggression. faced with public revelation of his actions, president trump released the assistance to the government of ukraine and has persisted in openly and corruptly urging and soliciting ukraine to undertake investigations for his personal benefit. these actions were consistent invitation ofous foreign interference. the powersrump abuse of the presidency by injuring
4:09 pm
national interests to obtain improper benefit. he has abused his high office to enlist a foreign power. president trump has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and rule of law. president trump warrants impeachment, removal and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office under the united states. each senator will stand and vote guilty or not guilty as required by rule 23. article one, section three, clause six, regarding the vote required for conviction provides that no person shall be
4:10 pm
convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of those present. on the first article impeachment, senators, how say you? is donald trump guilty or not guilty? a roll call vote is required. the curve -- the clerk will call the rules. mr. alexander, not guilty. miss baldwin, guilty. mr. barrasso, not guilty. bennet, guilty. , not guilty.urn blumenthal, guilty. blunt, not guilty. booker, guilty.
4:11 pm
boozman, not guilty. braun, not guilty. brown, guilty. burr, not guilty. cantwell, guilty. mr. cap, not guilty. cardin, guilty. mr. carper -- scarlet: you are watching a live shot of the senate. senators vote on the articles of impeachment. they are currently taking the vote for the first charge, abuse of power. it will soon move onto the charge of corrupting congress. you can continue to watch the boat taking place on bloomberg
4:12 pm
live, but we do have earnings that broke in the last couple minutes. shares of peloton moving significantly lower in the after hours. they appeared to be on top line metrics. the company also forecast for subscribers as well as revenue, going to run through the numbers quickly. 2020, 1.55, that is above its previous range and above the average analyst estimate of 1.49. it is also forecasting a loss for the year. loss than whater it forecast previously and smaller than the $158 million loss that analysts expected. 920,000 to 930,000 subscribers for 2020 and 81% growth at the
4:13 pm
midpoint and above the forecast of 885,000. the sharend out why reaction is white is but those are the top line numbers. obvious.s not entirely scarlet: the last time we reported earnings in november, that was the first set of results. it also plummeted after hours. down about 7%. joe: let's get back to the senate vote in the impeachment senate trial, drawing to a close. very little market reaction so far to any of this. marketcal context of the , still surprising. , it justrkets editor never really became a market story. it is now ending most likely. what do you make of that?
4:14 pm
>> obviously, from the beginning , the impeachment procedures, the assumption suggested that acquittal was almost a guarantee. the market sort of just ignored it. senator romney came out with his vote. had there been more drama surrounding it, maybe we would have seen a market reaction, but i think it was a foregone conclusion. the market did not have any sort of speculation that it would resolve anything. romaine: we should point out, this process has come down to party lines. even with clinton, we saw a few people splintering off from the democratic party. that didn't happen this time around and maybe that factored in. >> with 100 senators, there is a
4:15 pm
so theysample group, were pretty confident in this result. that is not to say that politics will not come back to influence the market, depending on what the polls look like after tuesday and if a progressive democrat seems to be going out in the lead, that could cause some moves in the market. hooking the market is in the problems with the isla caucus as a win for trump. how many people mentioned that as a factor for the sharp rebound yesterday? >> it was mentioned in the stew of everything else. it is hard these days to say exactly what is influencing the market. happened,on as it
4:16 pm
there was a joke that the markets were rallying because sanders didn't do well then suddenly, that became the actual take. that's 2020, the joke becomes the real take. scarlet: voting to acquit the president, the senate will -- at the conclusion of the vote for the first charge will move onto to the second vote. the second vote is on obstruction of congress. the president is expected to be acquitted. we will bring you the headlines when they cross. for now, the senate voting on the second article impeachment. we were talking about how politics were not moving the markets much. coronavirus did move markets, but for now, everyone seems to be content to look past it. that definitely saw rotation in the energy, financial value names.
4:17 pm
i wouldn't call it another rotation, but across asset has caught up with the sectors. , so sorte coming back of those faang stocks may have benefited from the self quarantine of people from the coronavirus. people speculating that we will not see a long-term effect. i always look at it as like a bad winter with a lot of blizzard. we are going to see some impact. pastnk people will look and do calculations. joe: do people just assume that it will be contained? has that changed since last week, the assumptions? china.ink outside of that is an assumption, it is speculation that i think there is some risk to.
4:18 pm
see some of these cases pop up in the u.s.. mediawere new york reports about two more people being tested in new york. risk fork there is the another bout of risk off if we should see more cases pop up. for now, not seeing that growth in the virus like we see in china involving people to take on risk. scarlet: it is pretty remarkable, the gains you see. s&p 500 closing at a record high. it does not matter if it is higher. things we haven't seen in months. somehow, the market gets renewed higher. romaine: to mike's point, he sort of brings up the economy and that is what it boils down to, whether you are concerned about the coronavirus or washington. day, thed of the
4:19 pm
economy seems to rule everything for investors. tohave not seen any data suggest that there is anything to be too worried about. >> all the data we are getting confirms that people came into the year before the coronavirus. the adp jobs number wasn't strong today. out makes itming look like the bottom is maybe set in 2019. we are seeing inflection point turn higher in economic data, which was basically the main case in the year. coronavirus made people rethink that, but now we are seeing that it is being justified. romaine: just to bring a back to what is going on, maybe we can listen in now. >> guilty as charged. 52 senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged. two thirds of the senators
4:20 pm
present not having pronounced him guilty, the senate judges that the respondent, president of the united states, is not guilty as charged of the first article of impeachment. clerk will read the second article impeachment. scarlet: we are about to hear the clerk for the senate read the second article of impeachment for obstructing congress. let's listen in. >> the sole power of impeachment and that the president shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. in his conduct of the office of the president of the united states and in violation of the constitutional of faithfully to execute the office of president of the united states and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the
4:21 pm
constitution and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, donald trump has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the house of representatives pursuant to its sole power of impeachment. president trump has abused the powers of the presidency in a manner offensive to and subversive of the constitution in that the house of representatives has engaged in an impeachment inquiry focused on president trump's corrupt solicitation of the government of ukraine to interfere in the 2020 united states presidential election. as part of this impeachment inquiry -- scarlet: -- read the charges against president trump in the second article of impeachment, obstructing congress. the president was acquitted of the first charge, abuse of power. separately, we have an update
4:22 pm
from iowa. pete buttigieg holds the lead in the iowa caucus in the latest tally. iowa results are 85% accounted for. it is not the final tally. so far, pete buttigieg holds the lead. bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and joe biden trail him. romaine: we are paying a lot of attention to what is going on with impeachment, but what is going on with iowa, when we talk about who runs the country, there is a lot of short-term market reactions, people trying to game what they think the new policy decisions will be. the markets will always find a way. unless we have something really catastrophic happened. onlyhappens in washington seems to lead to what the market seems to interpret. nixon in 1973 with the impeachment, we saw was clinton, and we are seeing it now where as long as the economy is doing
4:23 pm
well, the market can still make sense of it. >> i think that is true from an index level. . think you could see rotation elizabeth warren seeing a huge surge in the polls, some of the positives. joe: i want to go back to the virus and some they we talked about yesterday is that this is a major source of global concern. we have had major sources of global concern every few months for the last decade. ceiling,iff, debt people talked about the possibility of the oil spill in the gulf. fukushima, all of these eventually end up getting resolved in the consistent thing is, each one of them kind of presents -- prevents the economy from really overheating and engendering the type of federal response that might do it. >> everyone is wondering, will
4:24 pm
the fed react to this data, or at least signal that they could react to the rate cut? that is enough i think to keep those spirits in the market and keep people positive on equities. i think we have to wait and see what the damage is. how long it lasts is key. how long these numbers keep going higher and outside of china, even more important if we should happen to see it skirt higher and suggest that this could be prolonged. people, it is like looking past a really cold winter and expecting spring. scarlet: or even just a somewhat cold winter. whatever happened to the idea that it is a good thing to have a run-of-the-mill -- they call a garden-variety position. the last recession we had was the global financial crisis.
4:25 pm
since then, any sign of weakness has everyone speculating on when the fed is going to step in. romaine: people are concerned that because we have not had that garden-variety, the next recession could become long-lasting. at some point, you have to have a pullback. my colleague had interesting post looking at that. if you look at the average of manufacturing, there is this mini cycle within the long economic cycle. they got close to 50 with the oil crash, so there have been -- joe: early 2016, people argue now that should've been declared a recession. scarlet: but we didn't meet that definition. joe: we didn't technically meet it. it is a great point, which is that we do have cycles, even when history remembers it.
4:26 pm
scarlet: it is soft touches now. >> we have not had a bear market, but we have come close a couple times. what does it really mean if it is not that official threshold taking the gas out of the market? romaine: put into context if you can, some of the earnings we have gotten. at least with the big names that really matter, this hasn't been a great season, but definitely better. surprise, analyst estimate is about 5%. it is still a negative number as far as growth, but not quite as bad as expected. seen is a real rating of guidance based on the virus. we have seen material impacts. there is going to be some impact, but we haven't seen anyone put official numbers.
4:27 pm
romaine: nike was out yesterday. they didn't put a number on it, but they were pretty firm. scarlet: nor did starbucks, which said it was going to close half of stores. in china. >> eventually, we will get numbers put on there. episode,a short-term people will be happy to do sort of an ex-coronavirus calculation and gauge the health then. scarlet: i go back to the idea yesterday of morgan stanley that the coronavirus may cause customers to delay spending when goodses to experiences or . for manufacturers, it might result in loss of activity. excuse me, the other way around. for manufacturing it will delay activity, but for consumers, it might result in lost spending that will be made up down the road.
4:28 pm
romaine: i think that's what a lot of people anticipated. a lot of other folks we have spoken to had the model that some of the spending will be made up. it won't be such a hold that you need to revise your global growth forecast. >> to me, what would be interesting would be job numbers, cutting back on hiring, taking loss temporarily. soulll see the heart and of the economy, these really strong job numbers. if we do see companies start doing temporary layoffs, and again this is probably not something we should expect right away, but should the virus thatnue to cause problems, might be something we start to see. joe: one thing i am interested are real supply
4:29 pm
chain disruptions that have happened. we don't know how long they're going to last, how long the quarantines and lockdowns will persist. at some point, companies might have to figure it out. the number of cases in china is continuing to rise. scarlet: is it fair to say that most of those companies are not u.s. companies? most are companies that u.s. companies have contracted out to? of,ou also have to think the trade war sped up a lot of companies to be in a better position, building redundancies in the supply chain, found other suppliers and really worked around the tariff issue. now, the impact is a little less when suppliers shut down. war because companies to brace for this without realizing it was coming and be able to handle a little better. there is going to be some disruption, some numbers off because of it, but we have to
4:30 pm
wait and see. scarlet: maybe the end result will be like a bad winter. >> let's hope it turns out to be something like that where can be isolated. for more on the data we are theng, i want to bring it macro strategist. thank you for joining. year, you late last thought the data was going to come in better. we did get that with some of the service data, how are you ?hinking of the data until now we don't know the degree yet. thesis of january in
4:31 pm
particular, it would be the first after the trade deal and our view is the reason they were diverse is the pmi's are based .ff a smaller sample set as we started to see the trade war trickling, we started to see the convergent and that is why we think there is underlying macro and the way we think about that is when traders ask how bad it will be, you may as well ask how long is a piece of string at this moment? until we see secondary data, some high fidelity data is not there. we are looking forward to see do we see hockey stick type charts in which case the international data is saying the chinese data
4:32 pm
is not high or do we see a continuation of what we have maybeeeing where ok, february 3, a lot of folks were expecting, that type of directory did not materialize. >> take the data and when you look at the economy that has been running on the consumer, that was enough to keep the economy going. point whereget to a we see the baton passed with manufacturing question mark >> -- manufacturing? believe that production and from here on out, that is the underlying backdrop of course. --ill say
4:33 pm
>> we are going to go back to justiceon where chief john roberts is speaking. officer directs in accordance with the senate as follows. the senate, having tried donald john trump upon two articles of impeachment exhibited against him by the house of representatives in two thirds of not havings present found him guilty, it is therefore ordered and adjudged that he be acquitted of the charges and set articles. -- saidrticles articles. [no audio]

4:35 pm
[applause] -- thank justice chief roberts. [applause] aswe know that his presence in addition toer his day job across the street. we think the staff who helped perform this unique role. like his predecessor, the senate will be awarding chief roberts the golden gavel to commemorate his time. award this toally new senators after about hundred hours in the chair, but i think we can agree that chief justice has put in his do and then some. some. and then >> you are currently listening to mitch mcconnell speak after the senate acquitted president trump on both impeachment
4:36 pm
articles. trump acquitted on both and we want to bring in laura davidson, our reporter on capitol hill. the result of the outcome is highly expected and the vote went along party lines except for the first article where there was a surprise crossover. said heromney of utah believed what the house managers brought. he cited religion in his andement and this was large expected he was pushing for witnesses. esau a lot of democrats feel vindicated, here is a republican who said the president should be removed from office. there was never any doubt that
4:37 pm
present from would be removed. >> obviously, the impeachment trial is over, but our house democrats done? they still have the power of subpoena. even if there is not an impeachment, could we see more hearings that attempt to shine a negative light on prison trump between now and the election? >> that is something that house democrats were talking about when they met this morning. there are other investigations .lready ongoing they are still trying to get it eventax returns and puts more pressure on some of the investigations if they want to have them look.
4:38 pm
present trump is not fighting on those, so it will be a battle on what democrats find. >> we know the president did not mention the state of the union address. will the white house be addressing the impeachment at all? do we know if that is on the schedule? >> it is unclear if he will be doing that himself. aump's lawyers will be having congratulatory lap. how should trump respond and iny said as we all know, goes by his own instincts and he will certainly have his surrogates out there pointing to his victory here and that he was acquitted of the charges today.
4:39 pm
>> laura davidson of capitol much asank you for so prison trump is acquitted on both impeachment articles. we got a funny headline, this raises another potential source of volatility which is the strength of the primaries. risk ah is standards source of elevated volatility over the next few weeks? isi don't think wall street taking his chance seriously. it was considered by the market as pro-trump.
4:40 pm
ultimately, i think i would not ,e debating bernie sanders odds especially the psychological backdrop. however, i think he would be good for profit growth considering the equations. >> we heard from jamie dimon talking about bernie sanders saying he did not think it would happen. the reaction we get from wall street has been pretty severe. clarityhink we get more on how it will shake down? some volatility run-up to an election.
4:41 pm
thereld not surprise me it feels like they are due for a rethink because most years, there is a noticeable drawdown. to your point, i would like to hear what you think bernie sanders would be good for corporate profits? >> i think the idea is there is two main things. expansion in general to other sectors of the economy considering how much is saved by consumers and because things target there for all lower end of the consumer base, those folks would be able to access credit they were not be able to access.
