tv   Power Lunch  CNBC  May 1, 2013 1:00pm-2:01pm EDT

1:00 pm
1:01 pm
>> an amazing story. first let's go down and check in on the market action. >> i cannot wait to talk to him. he is an inspiration to all of us. the markets now are done pretty much across the board today and oil is really taking a hit on economic concerns on the u.s. and china and a build in inventories and gold is falling. the nasdaq is down better than 20. and the gold market, down almost 2%. that is really where we're going to start this hour. concerns about the economy and specifically jobs in the united states. cnbc.com's jeff cox is talking t c problems that may lead to job cuts.
1:02 pm
>> it came along with downward vision. prompted wall street to slightly lower its expectations from the government. the new consensus is 133,000. the low at 100,000. not changing their forecast. some say they don't use adb.
1:03 pm
>> a big miss on constructive spending. here is some of the commentary we got. dan greenhouse saying today's number continues the broader trend of growth. where it is on construction spending. really really horrible. on tap tomorrow. possible rate cut by the ecb. second quarter, tyler, looking weak. >> you have just written an article. you say that the unemployment rate is likely to stay high for the foreseeable future.
1:04 pm
tell me why you're convinced that unemployment rates will stay high. about 60%. so in order to meet their bottom line numbers they will have to cut costs. the first place they go to cut cost is head count. i don't think you will see a lot of hiring as they struggle to generate revenue. that is going to keep this unemployment rate probably at least to 7.7, maybe come up in addition to the adp numbers. barely in expansionnary territory. >> one of the reasons that earnings have held up as well as they have is companies have cut. can they afford to cut more and maintain their profit? >> here is another way to look at this, too. >> there is two ways they can
1:05 pm
grow. by hiring people or by returning moneys to shareholders. their job growth is below the level of overall job growth as gauged by adp. these are early days but possibly some effect of companies in that range that is effected by the health care act perhaps keeping lower their employment growth. >> many those companies 50 and above.
1:06 pm
>> all right. jeff, thank you very much. sue? >> thank you, gentlemen. if more and more people are worried about the jobs picture, why are stocks today not with standing still near record highs? we have seen the ten year note drop and right now we have the 30 year yield iing which is a l for the trading day. so bob? you know, one -- why is this happening. >> i have just been going by the history. >> very sensible idea that the bond guys are always right down here. >> the other argument is that this is not a normal marjt.
1:07 pm
>> that's what i mean. look at the yield. that's the key point. everybody is worried about what's going on. i call this a no conviction. >> i do see generally will tl are times when they outperform and today it's simply vice versa. the two trends, economic data is continuing to disappoint and secondly earnings growth
1:08 pm
continues at a fairly healthy pace. i announced today record earnings for the first quarter. the s&p 500, all time record earnings. >> it just doesn't feel like it, though. >> one thing that worries me today is the sell out down 119 points. >> all right. up to you. >> thank you very much. three additional suspects have now been taken into custody. the three were roommates with dzhokhar tsarnaev. nbc news reports that the new three will be charged with lying to federal investigators. officials said the three removed items from the dorm belonging to
1:09 pm
dzhokhar tsarnaev but then denied it. there is no threat to public safety as a result. >> analysts are looking for gain. the stock is up 7% in a month, today because the market is down it's down 2/3 of a%. it's still down about 30% since its ipo day almost a year ago. >> that would be up from 23% of mobile ad revenue in the fourth quarter. investors will look for any sign that any mobile ads are turning off users.
1:10 pm
>> and after the company warned that its expenses will grow 50% this year, there will be attention on the company's cost and how its managing its margins. >> today we will look at benefits. john ford is out west. may be losing benefits. >> there are some reasons why they are more worried. most of that has to do with curtailing of risk.
1:11 pm
i did speak to a wall street executive who said if silicon valley ever gets bailed out one is if you work past 8:00 p.m. you get free food. we also have gym memberships and discounts. employees foot the bill for the services themselves. >> on the specific question of paternity leave, i guess some are a standard eight weeks. but some of the best, goldman sachs it's something like 16 weeks. >> interesting to note what yahoo! did was expand the paternity leave to be equal to that, you know, immediate eight week maternity leave.
1:12 pm
paternity leave is traditionally two weeks and a lot of people don't take it because they're worried about losing their job or some of their tasks associated with their job. >> you're a recent dad. i know our policy. is silicon valley ahead of the rest of the country in terms of benefits? we hear about free lunch and all kinds of stuff. >> you can't beat the approximate perks out here. facebook gives 16 weeks to dads as well and 4,000 bucks of baby cash. they don't have an official name for it. think of it as a baby bonus. but on top of that you have heard about free food. there is free transportation for a lot of people who live in san francisco but want to work in the valley but don't want to live down there. more and more, apple facebook, google.
1:13 pm
really it's a perk laiden culture. stuff like haircuts particularly with this mobile wave. a lot of those younger entrepreneurs are getting older, into child baring years. >> i saw one company i think it was out in silicon valley that had an allowance for new parents for take out food. they were still wooing you. taking you on the outings and giving you the perks. >> it was google that had that benefit, john. >> and yahoo! has baby cash that they are offering, too. >> sue?
1:14 pm
>> april was not the cruellest month for the u.s. automakers it turns out. ford's auto sales rose 18%. gm and chrysler gained 11%. it's the sixth straight month of sales. >> how getting jipped out of one one thousand of a second could mean big money. >> and the dutch air force fly i ing.
1:15 pm
1:16 pm
1:17 pm
>> that is the low of the trading day.
1:18 pm
we're watching these markets very carefully for you. we're also watching the new outline. we are on the story and he's in washington for us. >> the journal reporting on a difference of about 10 milliseconds that could cause an advantage. they are saying this raises questions about whether some traders there they can execute trades in the window with an information advantage. re ce recent. >> we need to step back, take a good balanced look and understand that technology is not always good. that fast is not always good and that sometimes we may want to
1:19 pm
put some sort of appropriate rules and regulations to insure that individual customers are not getting messed up. >> they said while there are are and can be instances with any technology cme group is continuely making improvements to increase efficiencies. and it appears on the public data feed. this gap is not intentional. just the result of technology not necessarily being up to speed. they say they are working to get that down to zero as best they can. the answer appears to be that yes they are. >> i would think they would be. that's the way they work. appreciate it. >> if you thought our lawmakers behave badly, check this out.
