tv   Fast Money  CNBC  May 22, 2014 5:00pm-6:01pm EDT

5:00 pm
the campaign runs through august. we have some great ideas coming up for what continues the story. >> we have to go. >> your clubs in the back there. >> is it jaguars or jaguars. >> i say jaguars. >> as long as you buy it, he doesn't care. >> thanks so must have. now time for "fast money." over to the nasdaq and melissa lee. >> "fast money" starts right now. live from the nasdaq market site in new york's time squares. our traders are steve, brian, karen and guy. empty seat down there. but steve is on his way. conference call starting right now. getting the latest details from david coming up. plus, the debate over dividends that started two days ago. >> it won't be long until we all go and covet of a security deal.
5:01 pm
>> kevin, i think that. but implied within that is the fact those stocks aren't going to go down at all. there is a chance that the underlying equity goes lower, right? there is that chance. >> okay, chicken little. what are we, a recession already? >> i don't think we ever got out of the first one. i'm no chicken little. if you want to come down to the nest, i would be more than happy to have that conversation. i'm pointing out what i think is the obvious. >> o'leary is accepting guy's challenge. the s&p 500 just five points from its record close coming back into the momentum names. we're taking a look at which stocks are worth selling right now. bk, what are you looking at? >> there's wall street ads -- now is the perfect time and for me, the stock i would take profits on is home depot. everybody was excited about those housing numbers tonight. home depot has been on a tear.
5:02 pm
at the very least, sell half of it if not all of it. if the market cracks, you could probably short this thing. >> home depot had an okay quarter. there was the weather. we had existing home sales from the month of april and they were good and sent the housing sector higher. >> now the price action was very good. it was surprisingly good and surprisingly good on what was a pretty marginal tape at the type. home depot finds itself -- it's a no-man's l.a.p.and right now. if it can recapture the $80 level, it takes us to the next iteration higher in the stock. if it flounders here and breaks 75, then it's probably for the first time in almost three or four years a shortable name. >> look who has shown up. hello. thank you for making it. our show starts at 5:00 p.m.
5:03 pm
>> you know real markets close at 4:00. >> we'll forgive you. there was traffic. we're glad you made it. we're talking about names short right now. >> you know i sold a lot of my holdings. exxon mobile is when value becomes expensive. i don't want to call it a value trap but people pushed into this name. the whole rotation. get into value stocks. at this point, this one is frothy. you never say exxon mobile, frothy but at this point it's overextend overextended. once the market goes back to normalcy. >> 2.7% dividend yield, guy. chicken little. >> so listen, it's up from 87.5. there's been a lot of talk around this name. oil has been doing well. this doesn't trade necessarily with oil all the time. i don't think there's anything wrong with taking a bit of profit. would i short exxon, probably
5:04 pm
not. i think that's a step too far. at 102, why not? >> karen. >> sadly looking at uri. this is a name that it's work. it's run up a lot. a lot of what the thesis was predicated on has happened in the stock, if not has happened in the world. part of that was on commercial construction improvening. it's improving a limit. hasn't improved dramatically yet. ahead of where people originally thought. all has been reflected in this stock. it's not expensive but no longer as cheap as it was. plus markada. sold their position -- or trimmed it. >> what does that mean for this particular stock? >> looking at something below ten times to something maybe high teens. >> high teens. >> mid teens, right. >> does this extend to the other
5:05 pm
housing names or construction names for you? >> commercial construction. you're talking big rental equipment. so i don't look at it as a housing play really. >> sort of in the housing world, this is sorts of in beak's world. the guidance wasn't particularly strong. there was so much negative tiff built into the quarter coming in, that a lot of people got caught with their pants down. pete was seeing options activity in the name. but at 19, 20 times forward earnings given the guidance and the move we have seen in the stock over the last 6 to 12 months, if you have been in this name and enjoyed this ride higher, i think you have to take profits in wsm. >> do you agree? >> i think you take profits everywhere. as i'm waiting for that other
5:06 pm
shoe to drop, every time we broach that 1,900 level we can't seem to get over it. that's a warning sign to everything. can we break out or break down? of course. that's always the risk. i would rather buy stocks at 19.25 in the s&p versus down. >> the conference call kicking off. missing on revenue. let's bring in managing director who joins us on the fast line. great to have you with us. just taking a look at the weakness here. enterprise showed a decline after two years of decline. should we be concerned at this point? this is one of the biggest generators for hp. >> absolutely. i think the two reasons are one to your point, every segment outside of pc's are declining for them. the second part is in -- they talked about expanding the cost-cutting reduction by about 11 to 16,000 more head counts
5:07 pm
than they initially had. the question begs is demands going to be much worse and taking out cost ahead of that. >> what's the read-through to the rest of your sector? >> generally i have seen most of the companies coming out talking about the month of april starting to see better signs on the demand side at least. it will be curious to see hp is going to see that. outside of pc's nothing is improvening for them. >> where's your sense in the turn around, your opinion? >> the biggest thing on the turn around for them is they have done a good job in taking cost out of the model and expanded that. but the revenue growth is really what's been elusive for them. again, pc's were up 7 and everything down between 3% to
5:08 pm
5%. that revenue turn-around still remains elusive for them. >> thanks for your time. what tease trade here? this is a stock that had a nice run. 52 week high. >> early is wrong in our world. jim has famously been short this name. the operating margins which were strong, i think they're masking some of the cost-cutting efforts. to me, it's about revenue growth and you're not seeing it. given the run this stock has had, even with the move lower, i think you still have to sell hpq. >> this was definitely a name that shocked the world. to meg's credit. this has been a turn-around. she wants to get priced in as a growth turn around story. at what point does it get long? >> you thought they were going to buy a 3d printing and buy --
5:09 pm
>> that was long before the 3d printing. i thought this stock was oversold. then it became a turn around story. with meg, i think people gave her enough time. even though she says she needs more time. i think you got to take profits. that's what i did two weeks ago. >> do you think it's enough time? it's a battle ship of -- >> the problem is can she -- that begs the question can it ever work? so if you're saying that yes, she needs more time -- people are starting to question can she turn it around period. >> for hp the tech titan is moving into your mall. josh is live in new jersey with the story. josh. >> melissa, you can see the action behind me. you have got the music and the dancing. but you should have seen the lines this morning. lots of young faces as microsoft was giving away tickets to say
5:10 pm
mcmoore. i started talking to the kids online and they were excited about the products in this new microsoft store. >> the surface. >> why the surface? >> because i like it. it's a tablet and you can use the keyboard. it's really cool. >> and that's the reason behind this push. make the company cool. make it hip. ceo, he rocks a t-shirt and jeans. seattle rappers helping launch new stores part of this rebranding evident. it's not all about style. we have to talk about the strategy here. and he's mushing that strategy and he's going to need stores for consumers to interact with microsoft products. there are more than 90 stores and telling me they're going to launch another 13 by the end of june. microsoft's rival in cooperteenoh.
5:11 pm
apple has more than 400 stores compared to microsoft. apple generates $20 billion in sales per year. microsoft doesn't break out those numbers. apple actually averages an estimated $4500 in sales. microsoft is at $500. just getting the consumers to think of it as the go-to destination. it is making some head way with the kids. back to you. >> what's going on behind you? are they dancing? >> you've got dancing. music. it's still going on right now. really, the lines this morning, hundreds of people just circling the store. >> all right. get your groove on, josh. thanks for that. had to address it. the elephant in the room in that shot. let's be honest. microsoft also has stores within best buy which offered investors a disappointing outlet.
5:12 pm
expecting negative comps due to soft demand. beating forecasts on cost cutting. the stock closing higher on the session. joining us is the retail analyst. david, great to have you with us. we laughed at you when you said you liked best buy. >> is that why we laughed at him? >> there's other reasons. >> what does this say when they say the demand is thin for consumer electronics, that they're seeing the housing recovery weak? >> i think they're being realistic. no real good mobile out there. hoping there's an iphone 6 or some good stuff coming. i was hoping the pricing would get better. probably it's going to be by q4 when you're going to see pricing. video games have been strong. it's not a big surprise if
5:13 pm
there's nothing out there. there's nothing that interesting out there. they brought down the comp for the next two quarters. they'll be fine on the earning side and there's reasons to be optimistic about the holiday. >> what do you think is the right operating margin with the big box and online presence, what is the right number? >> i think you could get to 5% to 6%. >> really? >> i think -- i'm thinking operating. on the lines of operating. it's not near there now. i think you can get there. as consolidation going in the space. there's a lot of players out there. sears is struggling right now. there's a lot of -- >> i'm sorry. but we just had a hit from josh at the store. they're getting direct consumer competition from the manufacturers of these devices. >> best biuy has a great share. they have i think it's in 500 or
5:14 pm
600 of their stores this microsoft store within a store which is a great looking opportunity for them and they're gaining share in pc. listen, best buy does great with apple. apple has their stores. it works really well together. they announced sony together. they talked about it today, a sony store within a store. a samsung tv store within a store. these guys are taking share everywhere. they're outcomping everybody. everybody else is seeing much more business. >> back in january the stock sold off 30%, 35% over the two-day period in january and hasn't recovered. here we are, 26.5. nice day today. has the floor been put in in the short term? >> i think we're in 25 to 30. you would probably know the range better than i do. it's a tight range. everybody is waiting to see what happens this holiday. last holiday, walmart disrupted
5:15 pm
the holiday last year. some other things happened along the holiday. everyone is waiting to see what happens. i think you have some stuff planned for the holiday. still a rookie management team getting much more seasoned. i think this stock probably kind of stays relatively tight and you see the breakout in the holiday if they get it right or the vice versa. >> good to see you. is there a trade? you don't like it? >> no. one, a store within a store, i understand what they're doing. but it just doesn't seem to be working. in best buy, i don't think you have to buy it tomorrow. this is a holiday story. this is a fourth quarter story. why tie up capital for three, six months before anything is going to happen? >> housing stocks rallying today. one of our traders say the market is missing the real story. plus, the fight over dividend stocks. >> there is a chance that the underlying equity goes lower. there is that chance.
5:16 pm
>> okay, chicken little. okay, chicken little. >> coming up, our own chicken little, guy adami goes head to head with kevin o'leary straight ahead. honestly, the off-season isn't really off for me. i've got a lot to do. that's why i got my surface. it's great for watching game film and drawing up plays. it's got onenote, so i can stay on top of my to-do list, which has been absolutely absurd since the big game. with skype, it's just really easy to stay in touch with the kids i work with. alright, russell you are good to go!
5:17 pm
alright, fellas. alright, russ. back to work! really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business.
5:18 pm
5:19 pm
we have got game stop. getting rocked in the after hour's session. >> missing on revenue as big as they did. that is a problem. even though they made it this quarter, they had a better gross margin than expected. it's hard to turn around that kind of decline. we saw aeo yesterday i guess it was. it's a very, very difficult space. one thing in their release that i wouldn't love if i were a shareholder. they're trying to finalize their transaction with sycamore. you've got to hope it gets done. i wouldn't short it here because the balance sheet doesn't seem to be in distress at the moment at that level. 374. i wouldn't be short here. >> game stop posting better than expected results. play station four, the gaming
5:20 pm
company still missing on the revenue line. >> this is one everyone has called for the demise of with streaming online and not kpatable games. but it's got a shortage of 27%. always susceptible to a gap higher. that's probably what you're seeing right now. i would not be a buyer of it. maybe mr. wonderful would. >> i would not want to be a buyer here. >> tivo. >> is the stock tradeable here from the $12.50 range we are now. we bounced around that level all of march, most of may. i think you put in a decent bottom where you could see us trade up to the 14.5 level that we last saw. i think you can still buy it given the run-up we have seen
5:21 pm
post earnings. >> time now for the chart of the day. beakers, the housing market looks grim. >> it looks worse than that number. we had a rally today. but this is existing home sales. this is a year of year percentage change. that's the green line. you can see it's down 7% year over year. at the same time, the blue line is month supply and that's increasing. the trend in these are going the wrong way if you want a housing recovery. the last time we had this was 2010/2011. that's when we had q3 coming down the road. it's on auto pilot. >> i wouldn't get too excited about the housing market. it takes a bit for the market to catch up to them but this is a warning sign. >> coming up, facebook hosting its second ever shareholder meeting today.
5:22 pm
plus, hold the strobe lights, techno music, abercrombie is making big changes to its stores am byians. stay tuned.
5:23 pm
beautiful day in baltimore where most people probably know that geico could save them money on car insurance, right? you see the thing is geico, well, could help them save on boat insurance too. hey! okay...i'm ready to come in now. hello? i'm trying my best. seriously, i'm...i'm serious. request to come ashore. geico. saving people money on more than just car insurance.
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
you know the album? >> no. i don't know why you ask me because i don't know. >> that's a great job. >> always a great job. >> this is journey, right? >> facebook hosting its second annual shareholder meeting. they got a first chance of submitting proposals for a vote. let's head over to morgan.
5:26 pm
>> hi. the hot topic was the fact that facebook shareholders could submit proposals. unsurprisingly given facebook's dual class share structure, all five of those outside proposals did not pass. a shareholder commented saying why submit when we know ceo mark zuckerberg is just going to strike them down. number three, to be exact, that calls for a recapitalization plan. there was another hot topic as well that came from zuckerberg and his comments that the company is strategically shifting to focus more on privacy. he called attention to a new tool called privacy check-in. this is to enable users to better choose who they're sharing information with. saying the company's shift to mobile means it will keep growing its family of apps as
5:27 pm
well. incidence t back to you. >> thanks for that. karen, this is a perfect example of you got to know what you're buying in terms of -- >> right, you cannot think you're going to make any changes as shareholders here. one share one vote. but there's a super majority that will never pass. why submit anything? just to get it out of there. the shareholders have no other way to express their views. you have to realize you are giving up complete control and if you buy facebook, you have to have confidence in zuckerberg. >> i thought that last quarter was outstanding and the initial price action up to 64.5 was exactly what we thought would happen. what i didn't think was going to happen was the trade down the back end. i think facebook got caught in the rest of those momentum stocks. i think the quarter was fabulous and i think the stocks should be higher. i get it.
5:28 pm
even at -- it goes higher from here. >> jd.com, third largest ipo of 2014. plus, coming up, it was the smackdown heard around the street. >> okay, chicken little. >> but the negotiator doesn't take kindly to foul language. >> i'm no chicken little. if you want to come down to the nest, i would be more than happy to have that conversation. >> guy adami gets ready to jump into the shark tank for an epic battle you won't want to miss. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 trading inspires your life.

5:30 pm
5:31 pm
just two days ahead on cnbc shark tank cohost kevin o'leary and guy adami got into a heated debate over dividend stocks. take a listen. >> won't be long until we go and covet the security of a fat dividend yield. >> kevin, i think that, but implied within that is the fact those stocks aren't going to go down at all. there is a chance that the underlying equity goes lower,
5:32 pm
there is that chance. >> okay, chicken little. what are we, a recession already? >> i don't think we got out of the first one. i'm no chicken little. if you want to come down to the nest, i would be more than happy to have that conversation. i'm just pointing out what i think is the obvious. >> apparently chicken little -- we brought them back together. let's welcome kevin o'leary and chairman of o'leary funds. kevin, great to have you on the show. >> thank you very much. >> your fund company does have dividend funds. they're essentially bond proxies. >> i'm going to give you a anecdotal story. i believe one of the companies by mandate are only allowed to purchase stocks with yield. when i was a kid my mother used to work at a clothing company and took a third of her paycheck and sock it away and she only
5:33 pm
bought large yield stocks. i didn't know that. i was only 7 at the time. she kept that account hidden from both husband's all her life. when she died, i saw what the stocks did for the first time over 15 years. they blew away everything. >> my point was for the folks at home not as sophisticated. when you hear i would rather be in dividend paying stocks as opposed to treasuries yielding the same thing, implied within that that means the underlying stocks can't go lower. you take a look at lorillard today, if you bought that stock two days ago, you've basically given away that dividend. if you look at treasuries versus equitie equities. the yield in treasuries is safer than the yield in stocks. there always is the risk that the underlying equity can go
5:34 pm
down as well. i get what you're saying and am glad your mom did so well. but you take any risk and that was my point that day. >> let's talk about the 10-year treasury which should be the safest investment anybody could make. not so today. we are at the end of a 30-year cycle at the lowest rates we ever seen and we debate on this show and on every other show on when rates went up. let's say you went long right now. you're trying to tell me you're safer in that than a corporation that's growing. you're going to lose. if rates go back up to 4%. the 40-year average, you're going to be dead in the water. and then you're going to call me up and apologize to me. >> first of all, i'll apologize to you absolutely. but i'm not going to apologize for this. we could have had this argument six months. kevin, the s&p and going to be
5:35 pm
1,900. where is the ten year yield going to be. if you would have been honest with me you would have said it's going to be close to 3.5%, if not, 4%. and here we are and the yield is closer to 2%. there is some disconnect. i don't think you're buying the ten year treasury for a ten year investment. o the appreciation of that security is what you're buying. not the yield on the back end. >> any gravest concern in talking people into buying duration, i don't care if it's a corporate credit or a ten year, or 30 year, let's talk about duration. when the first 25 basis points rifles through the system, when the fed decides their going to move forward, it is going to be devastating for portfolios that have duration. if you have to be like me, i have got to be 50% fixed income and 50% equities.
5:36 pm
i 24 months yielding 27% on loans. i'm scared out of my mind about what's going to happen when people who have been lulled to sleep by conversations like the one we're having because rates have done nothing except go down, it's going to be blood in the streets when rates move back up. >> i think people have been lulled to sleep thinking the stock market will go higher. i think it's been built by an over accommodated fed. the same argument we're making vukd made six months ago and 40 or 50 basis points ago. >> if we received a mandate from a 60-year-old husband and wife that have to retire, i would argue we should go 50% fixed income but the duration should be no longer than 36 months on the portfolio i design.
5:37 pm
i don't mind going 50/50. you'll never convince me a stock that doesn't have yield. i did that research of the 52 years my mother had that portfolio. 72% of the returns came from dividends. no debate about that. >> i think there's a tv show here and then take a look at -- you know, you probably know really well. look at wwe. a lot of people bought that stock thinking here's a safe stock. vince mcmahon. wwe. well-known brand. 2.5%. look at what the stock did friday. and now -- so again, that's a -- >> hey, guys, i have got to step in. i'm out of time here. >> i'm getting warmed up here. >> i know. we would love to have you back, kevin. we want to get our viewers thoughts on who won this debate. #shark for kevin and #chicken
5:38 pm
for guy. kevin, don't go away we want to get your thoughts while you're hear on some comments by mark cuban. take a listen. >> we're all prejudice one way or another. if i see a black kid in a hoody and late at night, i'm walking to the other side of the street and on the other side of the street there's a guy that has tattoos all over his face, white guy, balled head, tattoos everywhere, i'm walking back to the other side of the street and the list goes on of stereotypes that we live up to and are fearful of. >> cuban just tweeted in hindsight i should have used different examples. i didn't consider the trayvon martin family. i stand by the words in substance of the interview. kevin, what's your take? >> i was with mark. he and i did the billboard
5:39 pm
awards sunday. we talked about the sterling situation. i want to prequalify my comments. i have a lot of respect for cub cuban. this guy understands what's wrong with what happened with what sterling said and thinks. so i'm very okay with mark cu n cuban. he's coming from the right place on this. but he's trying to point out that there are people out there -- we discussed it -- that have prejudices and we should deal with reality and he's trying to point out that exists in our society. but he doesn't endorse it by any means and he is in a hot seat as an owner of an nba team. his challenge is to walk the fine line with the discomfort he has in sterling's comments knowing it hurts the brand and just wrong. at the same time it pulls at his guts and many others in america. taking away ownership is unamerican. we don't do that in america. at the same time, we can't tolerate sterling's comments
5:40 pm
because that's not how we think. i think that is the challenge to walk that fine line and that's what mark is trying to do here. i totally support him every day. >> kevin, thanks so much. good to see you. >> take care. >> kevin o'leary, cohost of shark tank. vote who won at cnbc "fast money." #shark for kevin and #chicken for g. >> time for pops and drops. hess up 1%. >> the head line was sell gas stations. the marketplace loved the price and liked the idea it's turning into more of an a & p. i would say you're probably okay in investing. >> lorillard down 5%. >> the deal speculation may not be as close as previously thought. that's what knocked the stock
5:41 pm
down. this is a great brand. decent valuation. you got a great dividend as well. >> mr. wonderful. pop for darden up 2%. >> angry at the red lobster sale. in this name, i don't think you get hurt if you're long. but i don't think you are going to make a lot. you may want to do with options up a bit. >> pop for 3d systems up 8%. >> i love the product. they made those little bags for you. the stock was up saying it is atrackively priced here. i think not. it's lower. >> a drop for abercrombie and fitch's club vibe decore. it is used for years to attract young shoppers. new window displays will bring back the teens they lost to fashion retailers.
5:42 pm
>> so microsoft took over that vibe. >> right. >> that's a great song by the way. it's eddy murphy's "party all the time". >> i halt that song. that's the worst song in the planet. now back to hp. estimates, a slew of job cuts coming. the call about halfway through. the latest with david faber. >> the call in fact, the prepared remarks completed no too long ago. they started to take q & a. in terms of the quarter, you had an analyst on at the top talking about it. a mixed bag to be sure. margins a bit better. including person systems group. where commercial pc sales have stabilized if not turned the other way taking market share as well. printing okay. although not as good as some would have hoped. the enterprise business not as strong. in terms of the forecast, kathy talking about the third quarter
5:43 pm
and saying in printing they continue to focus on placing value added units but expect the toner will remain under pressure. personal systems, they expect the market to remain challenging. pressure from higher component costs may limit their ability to proceed upside deals. that seems to be one of their key mantras. they're still not growing. revenue is kind of -- let's call it flat to be fair on a constant currency basis. they are still not growing. enterprise group, not as good as some had hoped. we talked earlier about the significant job kpucuts coming. the company said it was going to cut as many as 34,000 job. now they're adding 12,000 to 16,000. they bring the job cuts to about 50,000 by the time fiscal year 2015 rolls around.
5:44 pm
here's what she had to say about the cuts. >> we now expect up to an additional 16,000 employees will leave the company under the 2012 restructuring program. this will bring the total number of employees leaving turned program to as many as 50,000. no company likes to reduce their work force. but the reality is that hp must be focused on improvement in our cost structure. we believe this further alignment along with the expected investments in innovation set us up as a forced to be reckoned with where we compete. >> we'll be talking tomorrow as well. i watched your show today. you got the abercrombie video that preceded me. those crazy dancers, i loved that. not to mention the chicken and the shark. there's a lot going on here. >> there's a lot. thanks for being part of the mix, david. >> you're welcome. >> you rounded it out. david has got an exclusive with
5:45 pm
meg on squawk on the street. coming up, the battle with jd.com. and other names got hammered. what does it all mean ahead of alibaba's ipo next. (vo) rush hour around here
5:46 pm
starts at 6:30 a.m. - on the nose.
5:47 pm
but for me, it starts with the opening bell. and the rush i get, lasts way more than an hour. (announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. that's why we've built powerful technology to alert you to your next opportunity. because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours.
5:48 pm
. retailer jd.com soaring after pricing higher than expected last night. meantime it's chinese internet counterparts plummeting more than 10% apiece. joining us asset senior management analyst. let's talk about jd. at this valuation, even at the top, just 19 bucks a share, the price last night. it was more expensive on a price of sales basis using sales from 2013 than amazon.com. is that fair? >> yeah. i think the valuation was fair because jd.com is going to grow at fast rates for the foreseeable future. i think they grow around 70% this year in 2014 which means their enterprise value to sales ratio is 1.2 times.

i think some discount is warranted given it's chinese and given it's the number two player in china to alibaba. >> should we be concern ds what's going on with webo and alibaba. >> webo is focused on user growth revenue growth and profit growth. they showed really good user growth in the last quarter. when you talk about on the call they talk about how they're going to continue to invest to continue to grow the user base which is probably the right thing for the company to do from a strategic standpoint but not from an investor standpoint. >> in terms of the valuation of jd.com, where priced in multiple to sales compared to what you're expecting for alibaba? does it bode well?
5:50 pm
>> it's tricky. jd.com runs a commission model where they gain a commission from selling other people's products online. where alibaba is a search model where they gain product placement and people on their online site. if you look at the gross merchandise value for the companies and you say alibaba is going to grow at 30% and use the same commission that jd.com is getting and use the same 1.2 enterprise value to sales that i talked about that jd.com got today, that would imply an alibaba evaluation of around $200 billion which we don't think is too crazy at all. >> jeff, thanks. we appreciate it. let's get the trade here. karen, what's going on with soft bank. >> just kind of waiting for the alibaba ipo. even though there's valuable other parts of it. so the jd is good.
