transformation we're seeing at microsoft. i think asacha was the right pick. >> i'm impressed you can pronounce his name. thank you all for watching. "fast money halftime report." cat "street signs" 2:00 -- i had to get it in. "power lunch" and the second half of the trading day starts right now. >> thank you very much, folks. sell-off on the street. the dow right now, the s&p there you see the do you down 126 points, s&p down 1.5% and the russell down 1.6%, not a good day for amazon. that's one of the reasons why. ukraine's leader says russia's leader is trying to occupy the country, president obama threatening new sanctions, the whole sit in a week where

goldman sachs says go global, are they right? russia, china, india and beyond. and how auto companies are trying to grab market share, as that company trying to recover after the recalls and investigations. first, though, let's go over to sue. ty, we're going to start with the markets on a very tough day. the dow's off triple digits, interest rates are moving to the lows of the week. we're going to start with bob pisani. what does it feel like down there, bob? >> a bit tentative, nervous. ever since wednesday, when the new home sales numbers came out, then thursday and fridays the ten-year has trashed just like the mark.

when it hit the highs a tuesday, i want to emphasize some of the home builders. i want to put up some of these earnings stocks like pandora and masco, as companies came out. pandora beat is down, forward miss. amazon was in line, and you can see that visa beat, but the sales were on the light side. everything is trading to the down side. put up internet content stocks, trulia and zillow, both down 9%. right across the board weak necessary in every housing related. like litched in, twitter, yelp, obviously high beta names, they're also playing on the down

side. when i come back in about 20 minutes, i want to talk about the ipo market. >> absolutely. >> i've seen signs of weakness there as well. back to you. >> all right. we look forward to that very much, but we're going to go uptown to times square and the nasdaq. hi, seema. >> we are seeing a sharp reverse at in the nasdaq. i'm hearing a lot of this has to do with the rising tensions between ukraine and russia, technology many times considered a risk-averse sector. tends to underperform when we see a rise in geopolitical. amazon is on the top of our list. big concerns article guidance, will amazon's cost expansion pay off soon. that's the big question that investors are trying to answer. other high-flying momentum stocks are considerableably underperforming. after reporting decent earnings, cooling off just a bit. expedia, the online travel

giants, ahead of its report next week is moving lower. while history shows you we may der we see an outperformance in large-cap tech. that's not the case today. google, yahoo, internet giants moving to the down side. apple also cooling off a bit, so definitely seeing a change in this sentiment. the big question is, will this trend hole? >> seema, thank you very much. if you look at the s&p 500 for the month of april, it is little change, despite all the volatility. there you see it. one month down 0.77%. hugh, and john buckingham. he's also the manager of the

morning-star al frank fund. welcome. how can i make money in this market or hang on to what i've got? >> hanging on to what you've got probably is your biggest challenge and should be your goal. the reason i say that, we've had heard a lot said about how utilities have done so well, how they're doing well today on a relative basis, but the defensive sectors of this market, tyler, having doing well all year long, so you take the top sectors, top performers, it's not just utilities, but consumer staples and health care. when you take that alongside the fact -- there's a shift of value in the market, there's a message all year long, and the message is, look, you better be a bit careful here, hold on to what you've got, and quite frankly, what i'm simply saying is exercise some patience. don't use this as an entry point. there would be a better entry point, it will be lower, there will be more pessimism, but you

have to exercise some patience. wait a bit. there's a bit of vulnerable. that's the message of this market. >> john, do you think you agree, disagree? agree in part? or what? >> i think i agree in part, tie le. valuationses of stock in our mind are reasonable. we've seen a tremendous amount of increases in dividends. we favor dividend-paying value stocks, so we're actually happy with what we are seeing right now as investors are finally -- i don't want to say seeing the light, but finally paying attention to valuations. the fact that value has outperformed growth by 300 basis points thus far, if you look at the russell indexes, i they is a good sign. we had a tremendous rally, and it's nice to see some consolidation, if you will, and actually some common sense, and focusing on the stocks that are at cheap prices is where investors historically have made the most money. >> i hear hugh say, john, that he thought there would be a

better entry point as the pessimism takes a bigger hold. do you think now is a fine time to buy some of these value stocks that you identify, and go ahead and name some, if you want. >> i do think -- if you have a long-term time horizon, i think it's an excellent time to be buying. of course apple just had the big pop. we like ensco. we like deere in the agricultural pace, a p.e. of 10, and i would even look at some of the names that have been hit hard on the earnings spectrum. the newsletter, we will have a new recommendation of one of the high-flying names that have come down, so there are opportunities. we do have a little cash ready to pounce. >> john, thank you very much. hugh, thank to you as well. you'll be back with us in a couple minutes to discuss your

perspectives, so we'll check back in with you meantime, sue, back over to you. >> we'll focus on ford, trading lower today. its profits falling 39% in q1. however it did raise guidance for sales in china. dave wisten joins us. the numbers not great today, the ceo is about to walk out the door, but you still like the company and the stock? >> right. for a couple reasons. you know, in the short term i think 2014 is the transition year, but 2015 looks extremely attractive for the u.s., europe and china. they're just setting the stage now. higher launch costs as they go into december at an analyst event, but europe will turn a profit starting next year. they'll have the new what is known as the fusion here, and then the new generation f-series pickup truck, so you can cut

back on -- and china is growing like gang busters for them. >> they guided higher on china, but cut estimates of sales in south america. how worrisome is that? >> it's concerning. south america is a big problem for everyone in the auto industry, though, this is not unique to ford. unfortunately it's probably not going to get any better any time soon. but, again, most of the earnings are coming from the united states, as china grows, that i equity will get better, but they can offset the headwinds. talk to me, though, about ford and its ability, or if it has the ability, to take market share from gm right now? gm obviously is under the gun because of the various stories that are swirling around this company, the recall, the hearings on capitol hill, et cetera. is ford positioned to take market share from gm? if not ford, is there another company that might be poised to take market share from gm?

>> market share in the u.s. market will probably be a continuation there here from what we've seen already, which is taking share, mostly by, if i remember right, chrysler and nissen. ford, too, they're gang shares in pickup trucks, but mostly the less expensive packages. you saw that in the very favorable pricing tailwinds that gm had in their quarterly results yesterday. to your question, though, the auto industry is so viciously competitive. everyone makes a great car now and great truck, you can't think of the old days when your paying -- and detroit made ugly small cars, but great trucks. >> currency problems for ford, how much did that factor into the decline that we're seeing? >> currency was a major issue, particularly in south m.a.s.h., about 75% of the loss, according to management on the call today.

it's a major problem, in particular venezuela, brazil, and on the other side of the ocean, i believe russia was mentioned, too. >> dave, nice to have you with us. we'll see you soon. >> thank you. ♪ darling you've got to let me know ♪ ♪ should i stay or should i go one everyone gently telling clients go global, and don't miss out on what could be a big run outside of united states. here to tee it up for us isdom nick chu. >> the market movement today, the downside draft, it shows how int interconnected our global markets are. so let's take a look at where the hot spots are for today in the global markets. if you look at russia, they have a big stock market, an index there, the rts, down nearly 2.5% behalf those tensions with ukraine, crimea, russia, all of

that having a big effect. here in the u.s. you can play it with an etf, one that tracks it is the rsx. down about almost 3% there today as well. so you go towards the ripple effects. germany, check out this trade. the dax index is down 1.5%, one of the big losers in europe today. germany is a big trading partner with russia. the ishares german etf is down on the day as well. then you go across to china and what's happening over there. the shenzhen index of their makes stocks is down 2%, and conversely, you can take a look at all the other parts of the world. here in the u.s., the fxi tracks it down 1.5% as well. the ripple effects there? korea, here you can see the cosby down 1.3%.

>> so bakley what i'm hearing is this is a global sell-off, no major mark, but some been affected worse than others. when there's chinese economic growth, when there's russian issues and germany talking changeses, maybe, that will have an effect on those markets and the ancillary ones. that's a big thing to watch. >> dom, thank you very much. sue, over to you. so picking up on that theme song, should you stay or should you go? back with us is hugh johnson along with drew kanelly, chairman of the kanell truth. drew, i'm going to start with you. you recently added to your asia pacific positions, correct? >> correct. yeah, what we're seeing there is, you know, if you're buying earnings, right, and you're looking at express and price earnings ratio, you're looking at about a 25% discount to the s&p 500 to invest in asia

pacific. that looks like a pretty good valuation for us. despite the fact we're big investors in what we believe of the middle america theme, you can't ignore valuations, so it look like we needed to add to that area. >> if you had to deploy cash globally, first of all, would you, and second of all, is there appear area of the glob that looks perhaps safer than others, and ripe for the picking? >> you always want a bit of a foothold internationally, but if i look at non-u.s. international investments, for some time, based on the relative performance generally of both of developed countries, the relative performance tells me you want a low exposure to international, you want a high exposure to the u.s. if you sort of pick that apart a bit and look generally at

emerging versus say developed, which is europe versus the rest of the world, there you see emerging clearly has more problems. i think china quite frankly is starting to stabilize. i think growth rates of 7.4, 7.3 this year and next are probably good. but if you look at things like brazil, if you look at india, if you look at south africa, if you look at turkey, we still have significant problems in those emerging countries, so underweight emerging, overweight the developed, but you want to stay as a whole overweight a international and underweight on the u.s. you get the idea. >> i do. drew, talk to me about what we're seeing play out in the market. you talked on the valuation effort. your group has done extremely well playing middle america, but things are getting a little risk. as you look at a sell-off, the transports, interest rates were

supposed to go up this year, they're not, they're still low, do you think we have more to go? does this market need to retrench a bit more? >> oh, sure. this is great stuff, right? you're seeing a rotation from growth to value. this is all very healthy stuff. the money is moving from more expensive stocks to less expensive stocks. that's a healthy market. this looks fine to us. we are expecting a pullback this year. things have gotten pricey, but this all looks right, but as far as interest rates go, the year is not over, sue. we have a lot of way toss go before we see how the interest rates play out. >> that is very, very true. it seems as though for a while the stock market was telling us one story and the bond market was telling us another story. i'm still kind of on the fence about which one is going to ultimately be right. >> right now when you start to see the bond market, interest rates have been relatively low, going down just a bit. at least you see it today, but

if you look at the entire year, you've seen that, interest rates have come down. the stock market really has not performed well, particularly if you look at sectors. the message there is consistent and very clear. that is be really careful right now. we could have in down side here. i recognize it's really great to see stocks cheap, to see value, but quite frankly, if you're looking for an entry point, you want the market overall to be undervalued. it's not undervalued now. we need a decline of 5% to 8%, and you want to see more pessimism in the street, quite frankly. >> both of you, thank you very much. ty, over to you. big trouble in china could make for even bigger trouble in beverly hills. jane wells, you're up. >> tyler, kim kardashian, eat your heart out. this is a pure chocolate diamond ring. they're making a big hit for the 100th anniversary.

then, now at $14 essentially? that's, what, 12% below the ipo price? what happened? the first thing, is the market up trend the higher risk wayned in general. i do want to show you the i ipo etf. that is the white line, you see the big move up in the middle of march, now the big move down, that green line is the s&p 500, so the bottom line here, sue and tyler is the i want po market is now underperforming the overall market for the year after being red-hot just a month ago. back to you. >> thank you very much, bob. we're going to focus on the nasdaq, which on a percentage basis is the biggest loser of the major averages. negative for the week, so let's check bulk in with seema mody.

from the chart, it looks like we're almost on the lows of the day. >> we are. there's a lot of individual stock movers contributing to the nasdaq moving lower. let's walk through them. the first one, of course, is amazon. one of the big underperformers on the nasdaq 100. remember the q4 earnings also disappointed the street. similar concerns around earnings growth. that's what seems to be playing here, and why the stock is underperforming the nasdaq right now. in terms of where we're seeing some bright spots, why is 86% are trading lower, but you look at microsoft, thanks to a big jump, focus turns to mobile computing. so a lot of focus on microsoft, then there's baidu, a chinese

in the last two weeks, three sessions have closed lower than this. you open up the chart to february, it's a pattern well established. i think it's more interesting to look at the backyard. it's actually up a bit. dollars versus the yuan, yesterday it was 12, 12, 12, now the third week in -- and every day we come in, it seems to weakened. have a great weekend. >> you too, rickey. thank you very much. we have a developing story on elon musk's space program. eamon? >> that's right, tesla and space-x ceo elon musk is speaking right now where he's just made a couple pieces of news. let me give you the big headline first. he is says his company is going to sue the federal government for the right to open up to competition of bidding process for what they call national security launches.

that is air force launches of high le technical programs lie spy satellites. elon musk saying he doesn't think it's right for that business to be done on a sole source contract basis. he was space-x to have the ability to bid for some of those contracts as well. the second headline so far from elon musk is he as confirms that space-x's falcon 9 space vehicle completed a reusable flagt over the pacific where they could reland the rocket, and for at least eight seconds, it deployed, and then was destroyed by wave action. so that development of a reusable space vehicle is something that musk and spacex are pushing for. that could put them in an enviable position financial listen.

>> let me just ask you, he is going to sue, but what are the odds that he will be successful in this suit? he's also raising the spect are that the current situation involves russian flights that may represent a sanction violation with the air force using any russian components. >> you know, everybody underestimated mr. musk at the beginning, and did not think he would be successful with tesla. he has made believers out of a lot of doubters. it will be fascinating to see how this progresses. >> it's one thing to take on they challenges, another thing entirely to take on the procurement bureaucracy. that has been an insurmountable
