"power lunch" and the second half of the trading day start right now. we begin with a market alert and not the good kind. if you are long this market, stocks as scott mentioned, taking a beating. today it's not a mixed market. though that beating is across the board. take a look. destroy industrials down. 180%. and off those highs of yesterday, the nasdaq down about 0.09 or 38 points. one widely held company in your sights, microsoft. shares down 6% since december. so many analysts and stock watchers are focused on the search for a new ceo, we're going to forget about that
1:01 pm
today. instead, our focus is on another big issue. windows. jim cramer is back today. he joined us yesterday, illuminatingly with seven ceos. he's got seven more from his list of bankable ceos. it's a list of 21. you wouldn't bet on a football team without knowing the coach. don't pick a stock without knowing the ceo. >> "mad money" man believes these are so strong and capable, it's worth investing in their stocks. on that primarily. first to sue at the nyse. sue? >> ty, you mentioned, dow, big loser of the day. off the lows of the trading session. when i came down off about 200 points. now down 184. 16,188.84. look at the ten year. we've seen yields move lower as money goes into the ten year note. 2.78%. haven't seen that in quite a while.
1:02 pm
also the talk about china this morning. not only the pmi, but other issues as well which we'll talk about the shanghai index down today. down 7.5% in the past month. let's talk about all of this with bob pisani and cnbc's market analyst. good to see you again. the china data wasn't just the data that's spooking this market. there is a lot of talk china may be on the verge of its own subprime crisis. with a $500 million trust having to roll paper before next week. it's a big deadline, bob. what are you hearing about the worries about china? >> there's a lot of issues going on in general. this growth issue is going on. even though they made gdp numbers. issues about liquidity in general. the people's bank of china pushing a lot of money into the system ahead of the chinese new year. a little anxietyie around that, and the pmi numberg in below 50. that's contraction. these are defusion indexes. we were expecting something well
1:03 pm
north of 50. emerging markets weak all year, weak again today. >> kenny, the other issue, technicals. >> in the earnings season, watching the earnings. haven't been, none have blown the roof off the bus. i think a little bit it's playing catch-up at the moment. right? yesterday the fed floats the idea about next week. has are they going to do? i think a little at moment, right, if they cut, earnings not as far as everybody thinks so far that the market will reprice. what you're seeing. people need to understand, not a sense of panic. not one of those days all of a sudden everyone's trying to throw everything out the window. not that. it is relatively calm, but it is certainly weak. >> one thing that happens when china weakens, big surprise, a problem with the yen. the yen carry trade is
1:04 pm
important. the yen toenends to strengthen. borrow yen to invest in the united states have to turn around and cover the yen, they do it by selling stock. one of the reasons this is happening, people are forcing to sell stock to cover the trade. >> watch the chinese trust banks. the black swan. a lot of chatter about that in debt circles. something certainly i'm going to watch, gentlemen, as we continue to watch china. let's go uptown to seema modie and get the nasdaq check in times square. >> it may be a down day for the overall markets, two stanouts bulls are cheering on. netflix and f a 3 networks. the stocks moving higher on better than expected earnings. despite the big move, the nasdaq is still down about 40 points on the dpap still holding on to that 4,200 level. look at the biggest losers on the nasdaq 100. biggest ones, reporting earnings that beat expectations. guidance lower than expectations. talking about china. look at the chinese edrs
1:05 pm
weighing on the nasdaq. down on the day, worse performing on the nasdaq 100. back to you. >> seema a big day for earnings. mcdonald's beating the street, but revenue came in slightly shy of estimates in december, same-store sales were short of forecast. nokia topping estimates with sales dropping more than 20% at its network equipment division. nokia announced sale of its mobile phone handset business, of course to microsoft back in november. and lockheed martin dropping 14% a year ago because of chargest at the latest budget cuts and job reductions. managed to beat profit forecasts and expects earnings to improve this year. now to dominic chu right here with a deeper look at defense contractors. dom? >> those defense budgets cut an overhang to a lot of companies. the new deal in d.c. could cleep

where they see business, and, of course, any possible shareholder capital return plans. tyler? >> all right. thank you, dom. meantime, down to sue. checking in there. sue? >> yep. doing housing right now with the dow now going back towards its lows of the trading session. following that story. but another big story for us said to existing home sales. up 1% after three straight months of declines. diana olick is than beat in washington. hi, diana. >> reporter: hi, sue. sales up slightly, but clearly slowing down at the end of 2013. with both nofr and december numbers the lowest of the year. december came in at 4.87 million uns an allized but we now have the full year numbers and the totals were 5.09 million for 2013. december slower than thatover allyear pace, in contest. 5.09 million, highest volume since 2006. 2006, 6.5 million homes sold. affordability is weakening due
1:08 pm
to fast rising prices, and not so fast rising incomes. the median home price up 11.5% for the year and share of all cash buyers hit 32% in december. realtor chief economist calling that phenomenal, very, very high, pushing the much-needed first time buyers further out of the market. share down to 27% of december sales snap the lowest since the realtor's began tracking that share in 2008. back to you. >> okay, diana. thank you. dom's back. a market flash for us. >> sue, this time on noble corps. the worst performing stock in the s&p 500. offshore drummen report drew more than 20% from last year. investors are worried that the company says rig utilization was expected to drop this year. this company specializes in deep water russian. transocean and falling there as well on that news, tyler. back to you. >> dom, the countdown focuses on
1:09 pm
cars. phil lebow, first up, toyota number one on car sales. how are they doing? >> 9.98 million sold last year making them about 200,000 more than general motors global sales for last year, tyler. basically it comes down to strength, u.s. still relatively strong for them. japan has come back. sort of stabilized in china. put all that together and have a company that not only is number one for 20013 but expected to be number one in '14 with sales totaling over s 10.3 million vehicles for the year. the first 10.3 million automaker in the industry. >> tesla moving into china. starting price, $121,000. plenty of rolls-royces and jaguars there. i don't think the wealthy chinese would plink at that number. do you? >> not at all. i said this during the "halftime report." $121,000 for the luxury market in china is a steal. selling the vehicles in march or april, already shipped there
1:10 pm
right now. the two things to keep in mind are that the chinese market, number one when it comes to luxury sales and it's got a huge growth potential when it comes to electric vehicles. tyler, you've been over to china. have you seen the politician? that's why they're pushing electric vehicles. in the sweet spot of the market for tesla a few years down the road. it will take a while, they'll ramp up sales later. >> throw in an adapter plug so it works on the chinese car. and gm feared, hyundai most posts its first ever revenue drop in tleep years. what's going on? slowing down? >> a couple things hurting hyundai. biggest factor, the strength of the korean wan. relative to the yen in japan making it very expensive for them to build and to ship vehicles out of korea. you combine that with the fact other key markets including the united states. their capacity constrained. they could grow sales in the united states if they had more capacity. they don't have the capacity
1:11 pm
right now. put that together with a portfolio that many are looking at saying, much improved compared to ten years ago, but a little, a little stale relative to a few years ago. so it's a competitive market now, tyler and they're feeling it in hyundai. >> phil, thank you very much. down to sue for news on guy hoop not just a pop star bought business guy, too. >> yes, he is. but his business may get, take a hit, ty, because for months, that guy, the teen pop star, california neighbors there complained about egg throwing and drag racing and now justin bieber may finally have to paper the piper. he's been arrested in miami beach and could be in serious trouble. plus, violence in the ukraine. things calmed down a bit but now are obviously flaring up again big time. we'll take you to eastern europe for that story, plus morgan brennan and the war on cancer. >> sue, there are two big parts to the story. first off, fighting cancer in a new and innovative way. secondly, profiting from the

relevance, fewer using pcs. mobile device, smartphones, tablet, are growing rapidly. microsoft is moving hard into the mobile market buying nokia's business for $7.4 billion, but it's struggling today. nokia reported sales at its device business dropped 29%. pritchard thinks the more successful strategy for microsoft to pare back efforts, get out of phones and tax and focus instead on enterprise opportunities. rick cherilyn agrees with pritchard that microsoft needs to rethink its business model but the most important question is who is going to be the next ceo. only an outside here has the courage and self-confidence to stand up to steve bomber and the board can fix microsoft, he says. sue, back to you. >> josh, thank you. so where do the analysts on. street stand on microsoft stock ahead of the earnings today? there are ten buys, or overweights. no sells. 21 holds. or underweights. ty? >> all right. you know, crack in the glass,

1:53 pm
carbon with shin as well. art, put out your midday note and basically said markets are in correlation mode once again. they have not been doing that recently. is this all about china or is there more to it in your book? >> it's about 75% about china, and that's the heaviest thing. the chinese manufacturing index came in lighter than expected. it was below 50. that, contraction. having trouble in the banking system, shrugged it off, lunar new year coming up. one-third of the population flies around. drawing money out. that's what's causing the tightness. >> do you believe 2345? >> no. because if you read the equivalent of the chinese beige book, one of the sentences translates into at least, better at latin, but if my understanding of the chinese translation is correct, it said the credit transmission system may be breaking down. so that makes you think they have a bigger banking problem. that spread into the currently markets, where things are
1:54 pm
topsy-turvy. >> exactly. >> the euro is sailing. >> yen. >> japanese yen, bob noted several times, the carried trade. more importantly, a lot of hedge funds. when prime minister abe came in and said i'm going to drive the yen down, they went all-in. so they're getting crushed on the reversal, and so it's spilling through all of the markets. >> and ty and dom? >> interesting, tyler, you and i sat there. >> writing on the wall tht jiggering agents, jumping back and forth but there are 460 down issues in the s&p 500. so the vast majority of it is all in the red. tyler, the sectors. i asked you and being the market veteran you are, you knew when i said exactly, one sector in the green today. >> telecom services. >> you can see they're up just a little bit. but for that, it is all red, and as you pointed out, in the s&p
1:55 pm
500, but for netflix which is the best performer. >> think what it would be's down 1 1/3%. in net flik wasn't up 16%, f5 not up 6%, all the companies weren't up, you'd see losses accelerate further to the down side. don't forget about the dow. >> worst day since august for the dow and for nasdaq. >> just four stocks in the green now. at&t, verizon, mcdonald's, merck, united health care unchanged. >> weigh in on that, bob. >> strange disparities. not just today and what's going on in the major indices. art and i talking about it in daily reports. dow is down 2.6% for the year. transports are positive. russell 2000 is positive. >> and you usually don't see the dow and transports -- >> unusually large disparageies in the markets. railroads have become in very well. shipments terrific, even as coal
1:56 pm
