>> you are right, tyler. expectations were that after buying 55% of europe's allianz, walgreens would move the headquarters to switzerland or the uk where corporate taxes are lower. while the firm is paying $15 billion in stock and cash for the rest of the european pharmacy, it will remain head quartered in illinois, where it exto pay a tax rate in the high 120% range. accounting expert estimates walgreens could have saved $2 billion in taxes over four years by rye domiciling overseas, but on a conference call, the ceo saying the board carefully reviewed doing a tax inversion, but decided it wasn't in the best interest of shareholders. >> while we fully understand and considered the significant finance benefits when weighed against the risks, the company and board decided it was not if

the right course of action. >> democrats, including president obama are exploring ways to stop firms from inverting. while a walgreens spokesman said political risk factored into the decision, a bigger factor was whether the i.r.s. would have approved the inversion given the original deal to buy -- didn't call for it. the combined company will have about 11,000 stores in ten countries, the company is also looking to cut a billion in costs over the next three years and will turn capital to shareholders through a buyback plan and 7% increase in dividend. back to you, sue. >> thank you very much, mary. let's get you caught up on the markets. right now the dow jones industrial average is up modestly about 34 points, s&p up almost 4. the nasdaq is up 16 on the trading session. seema mody is uptown at the nasdaq bob pisani joins me here.

it's four times the size of their last home. that home they are now renting out. >> it wasn't worth it to take that $30,000 hit when we could get someone to rent the property, have them pay down the mortga mortgage. >> $30,000, that's how far under water they were. rather than take the hit, they took the rent, like so many others are doing across the country. >> now as people are starting to move and to sell, individuals they are also turning into landlords by choice. that was definitely having a dent in the inventory numbers. >> reporter: rents are also rising. that was enough to convince the ballentines that being landlords is worth it. >> i was probably more stressed than my wife. >> three months later, they agree, it was the right choice. even after putting 20% down on the new house and now carrying two mortgages. >> we just cut out all the nonessentials. we were able to stockpile the down payment quicker so we could

move out and move into this lovely home. and then, of course, get the rental income on top of that. if you want more information about how this relates to your taxes, that's online. it is the battle of the rid all-stars when it comes to research and development. which company creates the best shareholder value? we look at the defense sector, northrop grumman versus lockheed martin, and a paypal message for young people. pap papal, not pay pal. i thought we were talking about paypal. we will have a social media expert what hi thinks about that.

from washington university at st. louis. she took a lot at these methodologies. we're looking at lockheed martin and northrop grumman. lockheed spend about a% and a half of sales. northrop grumman about $507 million or about 2% of sales. according to the research a 10% bump in spending could lead to an additional $94 million in sales. they would have to spend about dlsh now, compare that with a 10% pump to northrop's budget. if they spend about $50 million more they could generate an estimated $380 million boost.

that's a huge comparison. over the lost term, it's been better performing stock. you can see there northrop the white line versus lockheed, the yellow line. lockheed is america's biggest government contractor due in mo small part to the f-35 joint strike fighter. this is the most expensive weapons system ever and home to the famed skunkworks division. is works on hyper-sonic planes now. northrop is one biggest -- following on a heritage of making manned aircraft like the a-10 thunder did bolt, and the b-2 stealth bomber. both companies have great technological advancements to their name, but at least according to knott's ranks northrop grumman is the more productive r&d spender overall, this is one factor that some

investors maybe even value investors can look for to determine a company could be an attractive investment. go to increased sales to increase -- >> it's not just sales, not just expenses, we want with drill down on what they're spending on and how effectively they're doing it. >> thanks, guys. the ceo of the cleveland clinic and ceo of medtronic, we have them here on "power lunch." they're both coming up. also are both dealing with major issues today. ebola, and on medtronic's plate, inversion. we have a lot to talk about, coming up. plus -- >> coming up. >> we are the founders of lume nation.com. >> can these guys survive the competitive floral landscape? >> i think it will be pretty challenge to gain significant market share. >> stay tuned to vote. are you in or are you out on this week's start-up? go to cnbc.com/vote right now,

bloomnation -- >> we don't spend any paid acquisition on acquiring customers. what we do is give them web sites and social media stores that can acquire of customers for themselves. >> how do you ensure a high level of quality and service across the entire experience? >> when we first started we actually met most of the local florists. now they sign up themselves. we go through a lot of yelp reviews, but more importantly -- >> i've never sent anyone flowers and then call me to complain. is this something that's already pretty good a bit better. >> it's a huge paid in point. now with the emergence of social media, texting pictures, people are able to see the photos of the products they're getting and they're just more happy. do you envision any other revenue sources? >> absolutely. there's supplies for the flor t

florists have become a big area for us to focus on. the vases add flowers themselves from the grower is a huge market for us to tap into >> and you also accept bitcoin? >> a larger percentage of our user base, is bitcoin niche they're a unique small niche group supportive of the business dis -- and we're the first fluorsite to accept it. >> are you in or out on bloomnation? this includes you, the viewers. go to your computer and vote live. to say whether you are in or out. >> i think it faces a lot of competition. there are a lot of startups also trying to disrupt this try. i think it's going to be pretty challenging to gain significant market share. that combined with a 10% transaction fee leads me to believe that bloomnation is not going to become a big valuable

company. i'm out. >> you're out. >> what about you eurie. >> while i'm worried about the 10% transaction fee and it's not enough for you to spend on marketing and customer acquisition, i do feel that any service that allows every part of the value chain to improve, for you guys it's the customer, it's the florist and the receiver of the flowers, i think that's always a great proposition. i feel like you're going to figure it out, so i'm in. >> i have a bouquet sitting on my kitchen table that i ordered this weekend through you. they're gorgeous. i can vouch for the service and would encourage my friends to use it. however, i do feel nervous for you. crier competitors are charging five times as much commission for you. i think they'll use that to outspend you massively and crowd out any is it mine share. so sadly i'm out. >> guys, your reaction? >> we agree there's definitely challenges. the big gorillas have a lot of money to spend on consumer

acquisition. >> we have fit the retch, but so far zero acquisition costs, if we get the florists to support something with an antiquated solution which they drastically dislike, they become our marketers for us. >> for our panelists and, our live voting is about to close. thank you, viewers for your in or out. >> all right. well, two of the experts were out, one was in. the vote is closed. there you see it. it is split right down the middle. 49% say they are in on bloomnation. 51% say they would be out. i want to look again at the grading from our viewer vote on how bloomnation fareed regarding their power pitch. you guys are tough graders. we have seen this every week, really tough greatest. 16% gave them an a, 6% a b, 9% a c, 7% a d, but 62% didn't like the pitch at all.

we have to look at how we're letting them pitch. maybe we need to look at that a bit. wow, sue. >> i think that's too hard. >> they're pretty flowers. >> they're beautiful. i think those should go home to your beautiful why jo. >> somebody may have a claim on them already. >> she already -- she always reminds me of sunshine. they're perfect for her. let's look at the metals markets. see where gold is finishing up the trading session. copper has been in focus today. it was up considerableably yesterday, it's given it all back today. gold is up almost 23 bucks on the trading session just under a 2% move. to interest rates now and rick santelli who is tracking the action. ricky? >> yes, this was the center of the universe earlier. look at an intraday chart of 10s, we hit that sell stops probably, but everything changed. we crept back up a bit. we're closed unchanged.

why is this area so important? you see the left side of this chart starting on the 27th? that low? that's the 28th. it's 244 and change, low yield close of the year. technically it doesn't get more exciting than this. will it or will it got not go there? now let's shift gears a bit. and look at some foreign exchange. a lot of talk about the dollar/yen today. i will tell you this. you see that downdraft? that's the dollar. it's a dollar/yen. that does correlate with the fact we had that drop in interest rates. most of the time the correlation is if rates are down, the dollar is down against the yen, so at least it's in the right direction. let's stick with the currencies. look at the euro versus the dallas, cover at the lowest yield since september. but we have a meeting tomorrow. look at the pound versus the dollar. wow, has that come off, and of course so does basic of japan. we'll have a lot to talk about

in about 20 hours. sue, back to you. >> rick, appreciate it. coming up two ceos on the forefront of their industries, weigh in on what's driving value and health care, plus their thoughts on ebola and tax inversion. we'll tackle it all for you. >> do you think wall greens made the right decision by saling no to a tax inversion and keeping their headquarters here in the u.s. that's our question of the day. go to finance.yahoo.com. back in two. there's a gap out there. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. at humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare changes. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when healthcare becomes simpler. so let's do it. let's simplify healthcare. let's close the gap between people and care.

welcome back to "power lunch." looking for a correction -- how about in utilities? the worst-performing sector in the s&p 500 at its session lows, the sector down about 9.8% from the highs on june 30th. leading the way downward, next era energy, nisource, pepsico, and more. we showed it a moment ago, rick did, versus the yen. it happened just after noon. sarah eisen with more on what

may have happened. >> everybody is talking about this move, tyler. it's important, when you see a move like this in sdwlar/yen, it gets people talking. it would take a really bick fat finger to move the currency market. the market is still nervous. as rick mentioned, you saw in euro/dollar, you saw it in other. when you see that weaken, it could mean something for stocks obviously in this market is still pretty nervous, sue. >> sara, thank you very much. appreciate it. we're also watching health care dominating the headlines with concerns about tax inversions and ebola. joining us, omar ishrak, and toby cosgrove, the ceo of the

cleveland clinic. they are both in minneapolis for the piper jahvid ray heartland summit. we'll talk with those we're goods to start with the controversy over inversions. sir, you know, walgreens just nixed that idea. what about medtronics and your plan with covidien? maybe it's different for walgreen? they're more of a consumer, whereas medtronic is not. does it matter what kind of company you are when you plan to do an inversion? >> look, i don't want to make a general statement about inversion regards different companies. i do know for us, the structure with covidien was first and primarily driven by strategy from a health care perspective, in that together we could provide more value, and be more effect i have combination. once we determined that, then we assessed what is the most

efficient structure through which we can operate as a company. a lot of that has to do with investment back in the u.s. that's the way we structured the transaction. there was a note put out by a leading firm on wall street saying they're obvious giving it a 60% chance of closing. can you give us an update on where we are in that process? >> we are progress iing? our regulatory approval process, both in the u.s. and around the world. that's taking its normal course. we as far as we're concerned, all those measures are on tracks. >> dr. cosgrove, a pleasure to have you here as well. i wanted to ask you your reaction to some of the media coverage we've had on the ebola

virus. are you worried about it spreading, first of all? and do you think the media is making too much of it? >> well, we have no evidence that we think this is going to spread. as you know, ebola is one of those things that is spread by direct contact particularly with fluids, and they are being very, very careful at emory. they have an organization specifically designed to look after these highly infectious diseases. the cdc has done a terrific job in monitoring this disease, and we also have to recognize that we're now dealing with a global health care, ands much as we have a global economy, we have global health care as well. sars, for example, is something that may affect us, and ebola will as well. we have to be ready.

>> i was going to ask you about mers. >> we have to recognize, for example, ebola burns out with a quarantine, and so we have to contain the disease over a period of time. eventually we'll learn how dao deal with it in terms of cure or prevention hopefully. it's something that the cdc talks about all the time. they are really on top of this as far as protecting our country is concerned. >> i'm going to turn it over to my colleague, meg. >> let's talk about another big issue. that's the affordable care act and how that's changing both how you do both your businesses. you did an alliance with sanofi earlier. will we fogius -- will there be

more alliances like the one you did with sanofi? >> i think there will be. i think focusing on outcome solely is not enough. you have to determine the lowest cost for a given outcome. if you can improve the outcome, i think that's even better, but the cost and outcome have to go together. as you look at outcomes, collaborations between different stakeholders can only help us achieve that goal. so people with different expertise, getting together with a common goal, being fairly transparent or actually completely transparent, and achieving that common goal is the way in which we can really make a real difference. >> in addition to those kinds of alliances, how is the -- are you seeing more customers with insurance? will that actually improve your business?

>> we have one step removed from that. we haven't seen a dramatic increase. the -- that doesn't necessarily translate into the types of -- that we provide, which is mostly late stage. we haven't seen that connection yet. i think the focus in the affordable care act, in encouraging, looking at outcomes and overall value, i think that's where it will make a bigger difference. where the payment models can change, you're looking at a longer time horizon, therefore gills us more variables, cho they have the same outcome. >> dr. cosgrove, the final word. weigh in for us, if you will, how it's affecting your business, are you finding that you're seeing more people with that access to health care? just give us your opinion. >> we know that we had to change the health care organization in the united states, and we had to contain the cost going across the united states, and provide more access, and continue to

drive high quality. that's the affordable care act aimed at that. we know there will be unintended consequences of this. we think over the next five years congress will have to deal with much of these news unintended consequences, and we will eventually i think get to higher quality and more affordable. we have to take a tremendous amount of cost out of health care system, because we're seeing an increasing amount of technology, increasing aging population, and all of those things have the potential to drive up our total bill. we have to figure out how to do it more fiskly and drive value across the entire system. >> gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us today. we appreciate it. omare -- and meg, thank you for joining me as well. did walgreens make the right decision keeping its headquarters here in the u.s.?
