babies to tell you about. gm hit with a big fine over the handling of its ignition recall debacle. we'll discuss the road ahead for the automaker. cnbc brings you inside the crisis. you'll hear from a gm automobile owner whose car was defective. she will tell you what it was like to experience that dramatic shutdown while driving. first, though, to sue right here at kr6789 nbc headquarters. >> the stock market a bit calmer after the big sell-off. dow jones industrial average off about 17 points, nasdaq off about 14 points, the s&p is down less than a tenth of a percent. the yield is stubbornly right at 2.5%, so let's get more on the trading action. bob pisani joins me from the nyse floor. bob, certainly a bit calmer as we go into the weekend. >> calmer, but still things -- i want to show you, for some of the big regional banks lower

interest rates, want a steeper yield curve, but generally lower rates not helpful. all notably weaker for the. that's been a major problem. financials are the big weak point. housing starts for april, we came out, all right, they were okay, but all multifamily. so the home builders, i was looking for a rally. nothing really going on there on the mix side. the retailers were getting earnings about halfway through. penney's nordstrom's dillard's all good numbers. but overall the earnings season has been terrible for the retailers by and large. a few have ampled the earnings. much weaker than we thought even a month or so ago. everybody is. narendra modi won in india.

a lot of people debaten whether indian stocks have more to go. japan had a big rush when pro-growth people came in last year, it's sort of petered out here. on the ipo market, true car priced at $9, below the range, but holding up better, jumai, the big retailer for beauty products in china, priced up, and it's holding still here. leo chin, 31 years old ceo is now a billion navy. i watched him become a billionaire in one second. 31 years old, from nothing toamazing? >> 31. >> 31. i hate him. >> what am i doing wrong? >> big money isn't always smart. and smart money isn't always big. >> touche. >> releasing the latest

regulatory filings. one thing we have noticed is they seem to be going after yield. that got us to thinking. you've got out and found four dynamite yield plays. >> we had big headlines about how many people were getting big into verizon. buffett, paulson, all these big-name managers getting in, and of course a 4.5 period of time dividendee on verizon is a compelling reason to own it. we went through a few different ones here. the positive performance has to be -- at least a positive stock for the year. then it's got to have a greater yield on the different than the ten-year treasury, and trade at a discount in terms of earnings multiple to the overall s&p 500. 28 stocks came out of that 500. here's four of them. they're more well known and

compelling stories. cisco fresh off -- it trades with a 3% yield and trades at 16 times earnings, so below the market, and check out this chart. it's positive so far year to date. not too shabby for a large-cap technology stock. moving on to another industry. this one is big on the defense side of things. lockheed martin trades with a yield at 17 times more the market level of earnings. this stock, again, up 9% year to date, a solid performer, large-cap defense company. then another industry, not at all in terms of industrials, conoco phillips, we know the energy stock is high, and you and i watch it every day. this stock is up 10% so far year to date. i thought it might be fun to look at one we don't often talk about.

p.s. right here. trades with a 4% dividend yield and 15 times earnings. here's the thing, the caveat. utilities make up the bulk of those 28 stocks. this stock is up 18%. >> utilities have been great this year. >> as a group, they have gone up aggressively as a group, which means that maybe they have gotten ahead of themselves. >> they're up 10% on my bills alone. >> you name it, i'm pumping it out. >> sue, over to you. >> especially after this winter. if you believe the recent economic data has been somewhat confusing to the markets and us, it has. steve liesman is here to explain. it has been very mixed, all in the interpretation, or maybe confused. >> the data was bothering me.

it came in this way, that way, up and down so i created a system. i look at all of the data and say, show me the stuff that beat on the consensus and better than the prior report. show me the stuff that was worse, and worse than the prior month, so better/better, worse/worse, you know what happened? it came out even. i want to show you better/better. payroll's 288, beating the 215, jobless claims essentially coming in better than expected. small business optimism. ism manufacturing, and housing starts this morning, better than expected, better than the estimates, better/better, but then look at here, some pretty substantial players in the worse/worse component. industrial production, retail sales, gdp, all of these vehicle sales, and we just got consumer

sentiment. six big over here. all of this daya comes in -- but some of these things have an effect, and this is what we get. it ends up actually evening out. minus 0.5% is the current cnbc rapid update for the first quarter. that leads to a 3.7 in the second quarter. so we're pretty much on track here for this possible contraction in the first quarter with a big snap back, most of it weather related in the second quarter. down 0.4 percentage points,

speaking -- for 2015. >> sue, i hope you have a better, better weekend. >> excellent, i'm all for that. right back at you. a technical tsunami may be brewing, falling below 2.5%, the dow having it's worst day in the -- what is an investor to do, you ask? kristina hooper is u.s. investment strategist at global investors, and rob lust. you described some of the investors as helicopter investors. what do you mean by that? >> financial advisers are telling me over and over again they have clients far more focus odd day-to-day moves in the stock market, those who are actually willing to invest in stocks, and we know how

dangerous helicopter parents can be. how do you determine what the bond market is telling es? >> well, it's no surprise, sue, that the federal reserve has changed the dynamics of the bond market. the federal reserve is continues an accommodative face. however, this is totally changing the read, which you normally look at on the -- the high net-worth segment, they are pretty nuvous. i heard a lot of caution, a lot of worried voices. >> what are they worried about? the economy? are they worried about the stock market? worried about both? what is it that's keeping them away? >> i think they worry, sue, that they heard a forecast from an analyst on cnbc saying we're

going to have a 20% correction, and they believe it. so they're scared. the market is strong. the -- this is a very powerful market. i think we move forward from here, and i'm very positive loy positioned. i think 2100 on the s&p 500 is very achievable. >> what about you, kristina? how positive are you about this market? where would you deploy cash? but we expect the stock market to end up and different to be an important part of total return. we would suggest a significant allocation, but also to be well-diversified. have enough exposure to value, add some exposure to growth. economic growth remain relatively lackluster.

>> cry continuesa, thank you. >> appreciate it very much. dom? >> chuck out what's happening, the symptom is moving higher on news it bot 30,000 shares. that stock you can see up currently about 2.5% in trading. remember, it lost ground after it said -- in airplanes, and then it rebounded on a bit in terms of strong earnings, tyler, interesting story, at least with insider buying for gogo. >> india's opposition leader. >> it's been the most resounding victory in three decades. he is seen as a pro big reformer form the bombay stock market index has soared this week, leading into those results. the big question for investors, is can the india rally continue?

what does it mean for investors who put money in those india etfs? seema mody taking a look. >> as you know, i used to report from mumbai, tracking the emerging markets, so this is in general a pivotal moment for the country on whether indian stocks have further room to run. now initial fear that they would push back from the parliament has been calmed as the party seems to have the majority of seats. high inflation mix that india has sushd. the promise of a stronger commit under his her has helped it rally. in fact, today hitting an 11 -- some of the investment community believe that if that in itself will improve sentiment and could

help indian stocks continue their run. san yay nayer is slightly more caution. and warned -- telling me that growth in india can revive pretty quickly in the short term, but a real sustainable up tick will only follow later if earnings growth to the up side. >> seema, thank you very much. steve liesman spoke about all the confusing economic data at the top of the show. you have to dig deeper in the numbers and who does that better than anybody? diana olick. >> you're right. it's a strong housing number in april. but it was all about this. you've got 250 units going up in this building. there's another building just like it going up. it's the same nationwide.

if you look -- up near 43%. people tend to believe the permits more as a game. the permits weren't much better. up barely down other 3% from a year ago. you can't blame the permit, you actually spoke with a builder in maryland. he said it is all about demand. >> we're not seeing that demand. i wish we were. we are seeing a change in policy where you're seeing more townhouses being brought to the market. but the traditional single-family market is very slow. >> why townhouses? he says because they're cheaper.

sue? we are watching gm, the auto maker getting slapped with a fine. phil lebeau is here with the follow-up. >> $35 million fine, sue, but that's just part of the story. the company will also be whether they're actually confined. that story plus a people with the gm recall documentary coming up this weekend when "power lunch" returns.

requires precision and anattention to detail.g it takes knowledge, hard work and a plan. at baird, we approach your wealth management strategy that same way. as an employee owned firm we have the freedom and resources to create customized financial plans built to last, from generation to generation. we'll listen. we'll talk. we'll plan. baird.

courtesy of nasa, this picture was taken on wednesday. there is a bit of in gus, the highs have moderated just a bit. following the news, shares of gm, there you see them down modest 11 cents. more on this developing stories, and reuters managing editor. welcome to the both, gentlemen. >> phil, i understand that's the maximum fine that they were allowed to impose upon them, but it does not sound like that big a penalty, consideration other

settlements that have been reached with the likes of toyota on other recalls. >> keep in mind, this is just with regard to the issue of whether or not you notified the federal government about a potential recall in a timely fashion. it is the max allowed. the toyota settlement, which we heard about a month or two ago for $1.12 billion that was with the doj, which still has a criminal investigation going into what's going on with general motors. >> this may mott be the end of it. >> absolutely not. >> and you've got two congressional hearings that took place. those investigations continue. so this is strictly with the issue of did you let the federal government know, as you should, within five days, that there is a problem. >> well, you know, tyler, the way i read this fine is, this is

the department of transportation covering its tailgate, so to speak. they did a terrible job on the recall, i mean, general motors did not cover itself with glory, either, but neither did the department of transportation, and nhtsa either. they're coming out and saying they're levies the maximum fine, but there will be some from the department of justice, as well as a likely victims another fund that general motors will set up. the moan is nothing here. and a general motors is the real issue at this point. >> so, paul, i'll come to you in a minute, phil. do you think that this ed sod will do lasting damage to the last -- the big ford explorer recalls, and the firestone tire recalls, and all of those things. ford is hanging in there.

a lot of people are buying explorers. do you think this is a lasting stain on general motors? a lot depends on how they handle it. a lot depends on the reputational standing coming into this whole situation. don't gm came into this, they're just recovering from the government motor stigma of bankruptcy, which ford does not have going into the firestone. >> paul, thank you very much. great as always to see you. to get your thoughts, but also, failure to recall, my fave documentary. >> we talk about the documentary. and, what we talk about is the fact that sales are actually up since the start of german motors. why? part of the reason why is because these vehicles, they were already built.

>> a lot of them are out of production. >> not anymore, but it does bring up the other question, there are millions of these vehicles. what is it like for these people who own these cars. there are people who own these cars. it is every driver's nightmare, getting behind the wheel, driving down the road or highway and having your car turn itself off. jessica justice was the kind of young driver general motors had in mind when it debuted the chevy cobalt in 2004. >> i was driving to work. the car just lost pour, like it just shut off. i couldn't accelerate, there were no brakes, nothing. >> she had problems right from the start. same ones that other cobalt drivers would also experience. >> you know, it would take me a couple seconds to realize that the car had shut itself off. >> reporter: the car was stalling without warning, so she took it to her local cleveland dealership. >> they're saying it's my fault,

oh, she's too shore, sits too close to the steering column, maybe her knee is bumping it. >> this is all the documentation that i collected over three months of trying to get gm t trying to buy my car back. >> reporter: the last time she drove her car was to the dealership after it finally agreed to buy back the cobalt. >> believe it or not, jessica justice was one of the lucky ones. she caught the problem before it tornado into a deadly situation. coming up on "street signs" we'll leer at nhtsa's role. it's the cop on the beat, and they dropped the ball. that's what paul was alluding to. >> the woman this that piece, how does she feel about general motors, her dealership? is she angry? >> yes, i would say her attitude is the same we heard from the families of the victims who passed away from others. it's gone from frustration to

anger. anger that this festered for so long and nobody came forward and said something that could have, you know, averted these accidents. so that's the overall feeling that you get from these people, which is, you know, why didn't somebody step up? why didn't somebody come forward and say we have a problem here? >> and then if i were in that situation, i know if i then found out that this problem went back, was affecting lots of people, lots of people, i would not guess let angry, but more angry. in other words, it was not just an anomaly to my automobile. >> correct. >> it was a problem with the class of automobiles, and they knew it. >> that's the feeling you get from all of these victims. they have, you know, in a strange way, a bond, a bond they don't want, obviously. >> yes, exactly. >> but the families are furious. >> we'll be watching at 10:00 tonight. i know you're putting the finishing targets on it. failure to recall, investigating

gm, 10:00 p.m. sunday may 18th right here on where? cnbc. sue? >> we will all be watching, phil. how to succeed in silicon valley as a woman. we'll talk to one whom who has made it to the top, but not without an awful lot of struggle. plus nein thank you. that's what he said about his employees' behavior at the office. what exactly did they do to set him off? that's next.

first of all, i found it hard to believe that no one had come up with this idea before, given how many people in this country and elsewhere go through the same issues you had to deal with, but you were the smart one who figured it out. >> exactly. it's amazing this hasn't been out there before, but just shows how much opportunity there is to solve problems of people my age that's not out there. >> tell me what it was like trying to raise funds to get this start-up. you are in a neck of at the woods which a lot of people feel is difficult for women just on the surface of it, but you're a woman who is, as you said, not 20 years old, and you didn't just graduate from stanford. so how did you go about getting the funding for it? >> i'll tell you, it wasn't easy. it was hard. i heard no 100 times or more and a bunch of other things that can't even be repeated, but i used that as a mechanism to motivate myself and prove the nay sayers wrong.
