president trump taking on the federal reserve and its chair again. #. >> some criticism of the president coming from the fed chair. a couple key points here from the president, he says that he's not thrilled with jerome powell for raising interest rates the fed should be more accommodating. he says i should be getting more help from the federal reserve in terms of the economy, and says he will continue to criticize the fed if it continues raising rates. >> the president unshackling himself from the recent norm overthe last several decades, in which presidents did not criticize the fed. going back to a tradition 30, 40 years or more, the president
5:02 pm
very critical of jerome powell frustrated with the raising of rates, and worried it might hurt the economic recovery which the president views as the agenda here at the white house. >> amman javers at the white house. will his tough rhetoric impact the fed's next move. if they start hiking are we in as much trouble as trump thinks opinion. >> first off, always great to have you on. >> i apologize >> i'm right here. i've been here the whole time. >> will it affect the federal reserve decision absolutely not there's no way it affects their decisions. the fed has been extraordinarily transparent. they will act to the extent data suggests they should act by the way, not to get too
5:03 pm
political. president trump criticized the fed for the opposite reasons when he was candidate trump. this is a long term gain they should do what the data says >> that's the point. larry cuddler was on the air friday saying, they're crushing it i agree with you, there's very little chance the fed acts on this. >> how would you know? >> how would you know, though. >> wait a second, let me finish my sentence. powell would sooner quit than actually have monetary policy impacted by this >> here's the thing. to steve's point how do you ever know if there's a moment where it's questionable should they or shouldn't they? if they don't, you think, maybe
5:04 pm
they listened to the president if they do -- wait, let me finish if they do raise rates many you think, maybe they're trying to tell the president something there's a whole layer of psychology that's been added to this >> no, i don't think so. our economy is so fragile, that five basis points is going to destroy the whole thing, we don't have around economy at all. >> there is some room to xi guest it and say maybe, just maybe. >> i don't know if we'll ever know the counter factual is a hard slippery slope. >> we know people are going to push on institutions, that aren't used to getting this push the fed has moved five times sinks he's been in office if they're moving, it's because the economy is in great places, if they're not moving, they should be thinking about the impact of tariffs and the impact on
5:05 pm
inflation. we have inflation coming to the pipeline if you listen to every regional fed president. the numbers they're feeding through, we have inflation >> not out of control. >> we're at 10 year highs on cpi. >> here's the other thing i would take the side of the president on >> what are people most critical of the fed they're a step late and push us into recession, they us push us -- we're not even in a fed cycle right now. >> you got to a very interesting provocative place. is the president right ultimately they shouldn't be raising rates as aggressively. >> look at when we've raised it in the past, we raised it in the face of the financial collapse, whether it was green sfan. there's a lot of times the fed's been behind the eight ball
5:06 pm
>> and then they try to make up for it >> at this point do they do too much in the face of an impending inverted yield >> isn't that a risk to the stock market >> it's a huge risk. i'm trying not to get political here, this is an administration that has said from day one, the stock market is a report card for how we are doing if the stock market were to go down, he's put into place where he can blame the federal reserve, wasn't my fault or this administration's fault. >> fine. it's -- my point is, that's giving him now air cover, that if the market were to go down, he'd zero blame. >> could interest rates go up too much and hurt this market? >> yes >>s. >> rates should be going up, and stock markets should not be skpafrnding their multiple -- the s&p multiples should not be
5:07 pm
expanding -- i'm not saying yo shouldn't be buying stocks here. there are parts of the rotation process in the market we should be following the fed should absolutely be doing what they're doing let's be clear, they have two mandates, an inflation mandate and a groench mandate, right now, i think the growth mandate is doing just fine it's time to look at inflation it is what it is we've had a bit of a strong dollar, look what it's done to the emerging markets, if the dollar continues to strengthen that is the biggest risk the dollar is the new vicks for this market. >> the ten-year has been coming in, and the market is flirting with all time highs, when you silt here and say, they're doing what they should be doing, i agree, if the market's growing, rates should rise about # you can't always have exactly that scenario, people come on every day and talk about inverted yield curve. >> that doesn't control the phen
5:08 pm
our. if it was nine months ago, we were concerned about a 3% tenure right now the market wants to see a 3% tenure. >> the unwind wants to see the kev. >> qe, that's done i mean, ultimately, we're getting to a place where the balance sheet is strengthen. you have tightening coming from both sides the tightening coming from the dollar is one of the big issues right now. the fed can impact the dollar implicitly, although, they will never talk about it. >> the dare was impacted by the president today. >> fascinating right? >> maybe other presidents have talked about it, maybe it's a time that everything is 24/7 >> really? >> dog with a bone what are you talking about
5:09 pm
>> where did you spend time this past week? >> out east. >> in the hamptons. >> also where the president was. >> we were not together. >> you were not at the fund-raiser? >> no about. >> the fact of the matter is, he has let it be known, and he let it be known at that party -- i wasn't at that party either. >> he let it be known before he was elected. >> he was going after the fed again. it was surprising, but not >> a guest has joined us let's bring in jonathan gal. >> were you at that party? >> i was not >> who was at that party, who is he whispering too that he thinks is going to influence anything >> he's the president of the united states, he's the leader of the free world, j. powell's going to hear him. it's like telling a jury after the fact, if they do pause because the data gets a little
5:10 pm
sloppy, or the curve starts to invert people are going to say, did the president cause it absolutely not, there's no way that the fed is going to let this influence them. >> are you worries, though, does the president put aside the fact -- does he have a point to be worried about the fed getting too aggressive. >> if they raise 4 or 5 more times from now, yeah but right now, interest rates are too low, this economy is doing incredibly well. >> the economy continues to perform you're still on board with -- you can raise rates until they're blue in the face at some point. >> there's a tipping point i think we're good, and i think your point is right, the long end of the curve is what matters to the markets when the 10-year hits, then you start taking a bite out, between now and then, it's a signal to everyone that things are healthy. this is good for retirees and saver s who have a little extra
5:11 pm
yield. we've seen that the savings rate is up, giving people more money to spend isn't a bad thing >> what are you telling people to do right here >> this is really simple >> the u.s. regionally is the win. technology stocks are the win, and stocks are a win right now >> still, still, and still >> we've outperformed europe we're at a 2-3 deviation moment. wouldn't it be time to say, i think this is a little over done >> if you're looking at the price action, yes, if you're looking at fundamentals. if you take out all of the tax benefits we're growing at twice as fast as eps our economy is growing twice as fast and they have no technology sector pp. >> what kind of technology, are you talking about fang >> yeah.
5:12 pm
i think that -- we'll call it new technology, if you look at technology broadly defined they'll be missing the addressable markets on these stocks are so big. look at the -- the sales of amazon compared to the sales of walmart, it's a third where is that going to be in five, ten years from now equal, twice as big? much bigger. you take alock at online advertising what's it going to be for five or seven years, how big is the cloud today compared to what it's going to be in five years. i think we're missing the story here, tech right now is 30% of the s&p, that's the story. >> this past week we saw walmart move sharply higher, all of retail still, amazon versus walmart, you say. >> the sales numbers are killing it on the side of amazon and
5:13 pm
online the economy is so good, that the consumer is spending more money, that's the story there the long term story is a reallocation of how we spend. >> my quick question would be, everything's great, fine >> inflation eventually is going to bite us the economy doesn't run with a 3.9 unemployment rate with inflation eventually showing up. it's either the fed kills it or it squeezes profit margins you're already seeing them complaining. it's not an issue now, is it a year, a year and a half? at some points it's going to bite us, but it's not today. >> always good to have you on. jonathan joining us from credit suisse >> jonathan brought up an interesting point when he said, europe doesn't have a tech sector >> bottom line is, if you think about other parts of the global that have been beaten up, i kind of live in some of those places. you look at chinese tech or some
5:14 pm
other parts of the emerging world, the same argument should be held we've rebounded significantly the last couple days >> s&p has to test those levels we saw in january. we're 30 or so away. getting back to the president. i think he's just setting himself up for air coverage. if in fact the market would go down, on top of which, we're talking about currency manipulators in some ways it's brill yabt he's bringing this up, in other ways, scary. coming up, the greatest bull run ever yes, it's official, do you keep betting on the stocks that got us here? or are there other names to buy? we have those details. it's looking more and more dire for elan musk, and with funding secured, still in doubt, can tesla go it alone? >> later, guy adami is stepping up to the plate. there's one energy stock that's up 150% in the past year, he thinks it has more room to run
5:15 pm
he'll give us his fast pitch live from times square, new york city there's more fast money right after this at u.s. bank, we believe one small change can echo throughout an entire community. that's why we proudly support, invest and volunteer in communities like yours. because the changes we make today... can you hear me? ...shape the possibilities of tomorrow. u.s. bank the power of possible. you mighyour joints...ng for your heart... or your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

5:18 pm
we had it at 308, we're bringing them back to 195 the reason why, they talk about the fact that there's no deal that's locked in for potentially going private. saying any deal is potentially far from being proposed. they're saying, look, focus on the fundamentals and in jpmorgan's opinion the fundamentals should be valued at 195, city out with a note today talking about tesla, and in that note, city brought up the prospect of when will tesla potentially ask for more rounds of funding. another round of capital raise and would that be sooner rather than later, since this company will likely not be going private any time soon. all of this comes on a day when people continue asking, how much interest does saudi arabia have in potentially investing in tesla. that's because of a report by reuters where they essentially said look, we believe that the saudi investment fund according to the sources we talk with
5:19 pm
reuters will be making an inv t investment in lucid. that's a report that's not been confirmed by anybody else. at the same time, the discussions with tesla are unclear and it has people saying, wait a second, would they invest in tesla as well as lucid? probably not >> when it comes to electric vehicles, tesla is not the only play in town there was the ipo filing or a filing for an ipo that came on friday from this company might be a little hard to see this video, that is an electric video by the chinese company, they are looking to raise $1.8 billion, they plan to have the ipo with the new york stock exchange they started sales in june, they don't have many vehicles sold. last year, they lost $759 million. but remember, guys, china is ground zero for when people -- the electric vehicle companies that's where they're targeting neo being a chinese based company, and the fact that they're looking to ipo on the
5:20 pm
nyse, that's going to get a fair amount of competition. >> new competition at tesla's heels all the time i chuckled when you raised the question, are they going to have to do a capital raise. it seems to old fashioned to ask in the wake of the tweets. >> there's another report out this afternoon that says, as recently as the last six weeks, six weeks into this quarter, that the cash may be -- the cash russian might be down to 1.7 billion, 1.69 billion. that's going to fuel another round of questions where people will say, okay, how much money do they have can they squeak by this quarter? at some point if you're going to be adding these factories, michelle, you know, it's very capital intensive, you're going to have to do another round of raising capital. >> that's why people were so doubtful in the first place. phil lebeau. what do you think about the stock at this point? >> i think it's absurd
5:21 pm
forget it, let's say this is off the table. jpmorgan did what they thought was the right thing on the way up they're unwinding that, good for them the way they price this company, which i think is splarts half of it is earnings based multiples. either way, stock's expensive. let's get back to valuation folks, the critical part means massive execution, and i think massive execution risks. great company, great products. bottom line here, the valuation makes zero sense >> you always want the ceo it's never been about competition, there's others that do it well, maybe doe it better than tesla, he was the first guy to make a cool vehicle that was conscious of the environment >> and people wanted to buy even -- >> regardless of valuation, and now his asset has become a viability. i've been in, i'm out, i sold it up 12%, thank you very much, my
5:22 pm
chips are off the table. >> the only way that this company really does well, they bring in an operator, we talked about it last week you need to bring in a ceo bring in an operating ceo. someone who's from the auto industry, who can execute at scale. which we clearly can't do now. elon has too much on his plate but you need him there the reason you buy tesla is for his vision >> if he goes -- >> no, he needs to be there. here's something else the bulls hate herring the stock is largely sideways over the last four years, the other thing, risk reward, you have to play in volatility the stock has had four draw downs of 18% since january i mean, is this really a stock you want to play around in if you hold it, it's done nothing, if you trade, it could be very dangerous. >> he clearly no longer gets that the shine is definitely off at this point and investors aren't looking to put all their eggs in elon's basket any more.
5:23 pm
it's not the -- >> i love playing the volatility, when tim talks about itbeing flat, there's opportunities. >> he treated them right >> guys hit the levels perfectly around that 280 level where the stock bounces. that's what happened today in the mid 280s >> when he put out that tweet, i thought for sure there was something behind it. i thought the stock was going to trade at 420 play that game, but if you just look at it today, in terms of the way the stock traded to phil's point, traded pretty well today it opened at 291 on decent volume that's not bad, steve mentioned the levels, levels continue to hold when you've been wrong for so long, over such a quick amount of time, have you to take a step back it probably held where it needed to hold. coming up, the biggest prize in esports history is up for grabs. $25 million.
5:24 pm
you get a lot of money for playing video games. >> we're going to talk to the defending champs about how they plan to bring home the trophy in the second year in a row guys bringing the heat, pitching on oil and gas stock that's up 150% in one year and guy sees even more gain. he'll give you the pitch with stocks on the cusp of their longest bull market ever what youhod sulstill ride and what you should buck when fast money returns. great question. see, for a full service brokerage like ours, that's tough to do. schwab does it. next question. do you offer a satisfaction guarantee? a what now? a satisfaction guarantee. like schwab does. man: (scoffing) what are you teaching these kids? ask your broker if they offer award-winning full service and low costs, backed by a satisfaction guarantee. if you don't like their answer, ask again at schwab.

5:28 pm
what does all of this mean, what will it take to reverse gears and head into a bear market? for a bull market to end, the stock market would have to decline by 20% or more and recessions are the two big killers of bull markets. stocks will typically move well before a recession starts but todd mcclellan points out, the fed could kill a bull market when it gets too aggressive, what does that mean? typically it happens when the fed moves the fed funds target rate above the 2-year yield, currently 2.6% it looks like the fed has a little more room to move before they sound too aggressive. >> 2.6%, thank you cue the western music, because we thought this would be the perfect time for a bull

5:37 pm

5:39 pm

5:40 pm
on holly frontier? >> i feel terrible, i think ulta is a great company i'm a seller, they had a messy second quarter meanwhile, he complimented me. >> what's the asterisk for >> i like energy names here, as he pointed out, not this one >> i'm a buyer i buy most of what guy's saying here, also i like the risk reward, i know where my stop is, even if something happens to oil that will would be bad, but i know where i can get out >> i'm going with the buy side as well. you guys nailed this one i'm bullish on energy. if oil sits here and moves sideways, i get nervous, though, in oil spikes higher >> are these devil things? >> no, bull horns. >> we want to hear from you.
