1:07 pm
ordered thousands of replacement ignition switches just before it announced its huge recall. phil lebeau is covering the story for us from chicago. >> all of this stems from e-mails we have seen ourselves so we can confirm that the e-mails are out there. the e-mails date back to last december. at that time executives met and discussed what was going on and this e-mail went out to the supplier, i would need to start seeing shipments asap, shipments of new switches we should point out. please put together an aggressive plan and i can adjust the schedule accordingly. it is important to keep in mind that on the 17th executives from general motors met and discussed the ignition switches and sent this e-mail on the 19th but didn't issue a recall until february 7. people are saying what happened between mid december and february 7. gm issued a statement saying these e-mails are further
1:08 pm
confirmation that our system needed reform and we have done so. speaking of the gm ignition switches remember the compensation in place where they are reviewing claims. so far 32 death claims have been approved. 35 injury claims have been approved. there are still another 1,851 claims that are being reviewed by ken fineburg and his team. shares of general motors this year have struggled to move very high at times like much of the auto sector it has been struggling for most of this year. we should point out the doj is investigating general motors. there is a possibility that these e-mails could be at the heart of any investigation if and when things are finally resolved there. >> understandably so. thank you very much. port problems, the nation's largest container hub seeing major slow down weeks before the holiday shopping season. >> reporter: hi, sue.

1:11 pm
>> thank you so much. joining me now is ceo of arrowhead. let's start with the tumble your stock took. were you surprised by the reaction from investors? do you think they overreacted? >> so let me take a step back first and talk about what we are up against here. hepatitis b is we think the next great liver concern. we are soon to be living in a post hepatitis c world. hepatitis b we think is the next challenge to confront. there is no cure. so it is our goal to find a functional cure for hepatitis b. to do that we figure we needed to decrease a protein soled surface antigen. the hepatitis b virus once it infects a liver cell it makes that cell produce high quantities of this s antigen and
1:12 pm
that immuno suppresses the host. our goal to find a way to turn off that gene. and so we went into models and shown we c do it and wen into humans and found we can do it. it was very good news for us. we have shown we can decrease that protein substantially and can do it in a safeway. so we are excited about that. we were a bit compromisurprised market reacted the way it did. this is an ongoing dose escalation study and we show data from the first two doses. we are doing two things. we are increasing dose. second, we will be giving this in a multi dose regimen. we always thought this would be a multi dose therapy. we have seen in animal models that as you dose you get a step down effect. we believe we will see that in
1:13 pm
humans. we feel great about the drug. we are looking forward to our phase 2 b study that will be filed for by the end of the year and will start dosing as soon as regulators let us. i think we will start to see whether or not this gives us functional cures. >> last month you wrote a letter to shareholders saying you were surprised by the reaction and maybe there was a misunderstanding of the data. as you are talking to folks here at the meeting do you think you are gaining confidence back? >> i think we are getting there. the doctors we speak with, when they hear about our data they are excited about it. we are showing reductions in s antigen. we think it is really important news. and then when we look at the level of reduction we need the answer is we don't know how much that is. we think we have plenty of fire power to really knock this thing do and have a good shot of getting to functional cures. i think that the market is starting to understand more that over time we need to get we
1:14 pm
think to about 90% reduction. we don't have to do it in one shot but overtime. we think we will get there. >> we appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. president obama making his strongest comments yet on what he calls a free and open internet. he is calling on the fcc to set strong rules to protect so-called net neutrality. he says internet providers should not be allowed to cut deals with online services like netflix or youtube to move their content faster than anybody else's. the cable industry trade group says it is stunned the president would abandon the long standing bipartisan policy of lightly regulating the internet. take a look at major stocks and you see them there including parent of cnbc, comcast. pfizer getting a nice bump to the upside.

1:16 pm
it's just i'm a little reluctant to try new things. what's wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah... i do... try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. this guy could take down your entire company.h? stay with me. on thursday a hamster video goes online. on friday it goes viral - a network choking phenomenon. why do you care? he's on the same cloud as your business. the more hits he gets, the slower your business may get. do you want to share your cloud with a hamster? today there's a new way to work. and it's made with ibm.

1:39 pm
why are you bullish going into the end of the year? >> one thing this market has been very impressive in its resiliency. it means the quicker and impressive the recoveries noting the rebound we had in mid october. now that some of the anxieties about ebola, third quarter earnings, the elections are starting to taper a bit i think that puts the focus squarely on the outlook for interest rates and earnings. both of those things i think are still very positive in the market's favor here. a very good year end rally. >> john, i think you agree with some of that. some of the reasons are cited by you as to why you think we continue higher into the new year. >> i still think that valueuations are reasonable within the context of interest rates. if you think about where the treasury is today at the five year at 1.6% yield i know they are not direct competitors for
1:40 pm
equities but they did weigh on the decision we saw in the japanese pension fund when they shifted towards stocks. it is attractive when you have dividend yields that are generous. my own model yields about 2.6%. dividend yields are attractive. interest rates, that environment is still very favorable. the federal reserve while tapering is coming to an end they still are rolling over the proceeds of the debt they bought. so the fed is still accommodative. the economy is doing pretty well. and valuations are just not that stretched in my mind. >> gene, where is your largest concentrations in terms of your portfolio? i know you strategically diversified that portfolio. where are the largest concentrations for you? >> largest would be industrials, materials, technology, health
1:41 pm
care and consumer discretionary where the lion's share of our capital is focused. >> john, what about you? >> technology is our largest even though we are value managers we find a lot of value in tech and a little less in financials than maybe some others out there. these days if you are thinking about where to put new money this is a market that the rising tide hasn't lifted all boats. materials is one of those. energy is another. i would be looking to add money to those areas and take advantage of a weakness we have seen in the last couple of months. >> gentlemen, thank you. appreciate it. with this high tech fast moving economy a lot of parents have this question for their working children right now. what is it exactly that you do, my dear? thanks to a new program, a lot of parents are finally getting the answer. hi, i work at linked in as a

1:45 pm
able to get inside a new event designed to help clear the air. take a look. >> i don't know a lot about what he does. i believe that he is working with public relations. >> i work at linked in as a relationship manager. >> i thought he sold advertisements for linked in but he doesn't do that at all. >> customer relations. >> enterprise relationship manager. >> corporate sales. i think it is a little more complex than that. >> i am a senior enterprise relationship manager in talent solutions. >> we are here for parents day. this is our first opportunity to get a first-hand look at where she works. >> these are our conference rooms named after "saturday night live" alumni. >> they know i travel a lot for my job. i think that makes them think i'm lonely but i am really excited to show them that i'm not. >> if i want to bring my computer here and work here
1:46 pm
today i can. i think they are proud of me. these are my parents everyone. >> hi. >> and then this is my desk. so i have our family on here from when we went to florida on the fan boat. >> nice and healthy. >> do you want to sign the wall? >> absolutely. >> now i can ask where you text me from, are you having lunch? who did you sit by at lunch? questions you asked your child at school. >> my mom wrote my name. >> thanks, mom. >> you are from that generation. also with us is stern and michael parish, a millennial consultant and author of "jump start your business." i'm going to start with you.
1:47 pm
when your parents ask you what do you do for a living, what do you tell them? >> it's tough. my parents know i work in media but don't know much beyond that. before this story i thought it was just my parents that don't have a clue but now i understand it is a universal parent thing. according to a study it found more than one-third parents don't know what their kids do at work. >> do you think this is different from the way it was 30 years ago when i was just starting out in the magazine business my parents had a better idea? if it is different why is it different? is it because the nature of businesses are different? >> millennials have different values than prior generations. they really value connection with colleagues and finding meaning through their work. so as we are living in the digital age they are doing different things than their parents did and placing value on different elements of their
1:48 pm
