9:15 am
a lot of other services and think about our new retail initiative it will be apart of this, this year >> michael, i know you get the question every year, to the extent that singles day is additive or just pulls forward, otherwise would be made on the platform what have you found. >> as we particular expand into the retail initiatives so the 80% of commerce market in chi china -- we found we are not cannibaling o iizing the busines
9:16 am
people are so interested in the singles day event because it gives them many more opportunities to be involved in something that's fun and a great experience this is all about increasing the pie and allowing consumers and merchants to take advantage of that >> mike, we had joe last week. i had spoke to a number of your investors and to this point you are making, the investment you have made as a company, that continues, there does seem to be some question as to whether or not these initiatives on spending are going to send revenues up but keep ibita under some pressure. can you give us some sense >> look, we been very clear and i think joe did an excellent job
9:17 am
on this. we have been clear that the investment initiatives that we are making in china particularly cloud and our new retail initiatives are designed to expand the pie and the revenue opportunity. it takes time to invest in these and allow these businesses to grow similarly the investment that we are making outside of china and russia and turkey and markets all over the world are designed to create platform these will take time we have been very clear of investors. we have high margins and we are prepared the invest in those margins. we think this is the future and the best way for us our shareholders to participate. >> the logistics around are staggering as well as the numbers are. having been there five years ago and see what you did, i can
9:18 am
imagine how quick will everybody be getting what they'll order on singles day at their door? >> well, last year just to refresh everybody memory we delivered 812 million packages on the back of the $25.3 billion sales. this year we expect to be well over a billion packages and our goal particularly with the investment and enhancement that we made in smart logistics, both domestically and international consumers, we expect people should be receiving those packages within three or four days many people will be receiving the packages in the same day that's a lot of packages >> we'll be watching closely and listen, i would love to be there and get management to agree to send me again a year from now. for now, we wish you the best, michael evans. >> i consider it an open

invitation >> i will indeed maybe we can bring the whole gang i think going to shanghai -- >> that would be fabulous. i would love to do my "mad money" there we got a year to lobby we should start now and maybe we can get there. guys, i did want to come back to a story we have been following >> talk about the interview. >> go ahead my friend. >> let's move ahead. i want to talk about campbell this morning the stocks are moving up and continue to of course back and forth between dan lobe who have been -- the math on that simply is impossible given the entire family more or less voting against him. this morning i can tell you he's new reduced his asset to a slat
9:20 am
of five directors. that's where he's focused. the math is still very difficult and there you get a sense say we kind of blacked out some some -- well, we did not really. >> who does he want to put on? >> who is this guy >> he's going after malone and sara hofstetter and curt schm t schmidt. the november 29th meeting is not far away iss is going to come out fairly soon they spoken to a lot of investors. the hope, jim, i think of course is to have a series level of
9:21 am
engagement that campbell feels that its own investors want some presence from mr. lobe's nominees on the board and maybe you will end up two or three of those nominees the math is still extraordinary tough. >> this company is the most poorly managed and dan lobe's people, these guys set the benchmark for bad. they should be begging dan lobe, please come on our board what they have invented the last 30 years >> i am reminded of david icahn going back to the model. >> i pointed out of his number mr. icahn pointed out, buy companies or selling companies,
9:22 am
return is greater than the s&p we need carl icahn, i am glad we had him all these years. it is interesting to know that after all these battles the annualize returned roughly equal to here mr. loeb took on a fight that few others would have been engaged in there is no doubt about that it is helpful to the brand and it builds his brand. that's not unhelpful in terms of raising money and continue to remind people he's an activist where this ends up depends on comments you just made and feelings of shareholders and make sure of your settlement that you need these shareholders >> these guys even - that snack acquisition. what was the next bit? >> it was a lot lower.
9:23 am
>> this company is so in need of loeb they need loeb they need something. you know what they need? people buy their products. >> we'll see what the earnings are like a can of soup have not changed it is fresh soup in the super market and there is cans right next to it i rather buy those cubes where you can put in your backpack >> i feel bad for them i like pepper farms. do you like goldfish >> i eat it all the time >> when we come back, we'll get cramer's "mad dash" and don't forget david taylor with sara talking about the company restructuring. we got to get to ge and p & g

9:34 am
fact that they have not provided us any guidance at all in terms of sub growth or pricing or what they see is the cost of everything they're going to need to do to really build out the service. and so it does seem they're getting the benefit of the doubt that it is going to work >> well, david they'll be able to monetize dtc without us knowing any sort of keys about returning on invest of capitals or what else are they going to be doing >> "mary poppins" returns or how about "alladin" and "toy story iv" and i save the best for last, "lion king."

9:41 am
it just seems very concerned in terms of resources being limited there of ge capital and being a liability. >> when i read that, i thought we have taken that off the table but you got this new discovery ge is becoming moby dick for this fella four letters he's captain a-hab >> ge is moby dick, he won't stop >> p&g is the other big story, we have not mentioned about. sara eisen talked to the ceo, good morning >> reporter: a big shake up announced at procter & gamble. this was a long time coming. to use the word from the ceo, they're trying to become more
9:42 am
agile and responding faster. the company has been in slow growth mode for years and recently had their best quarter. the shake up is going to work as six new business units where all of them are operating sort of independently with their own ceo where the ceo is responsible for all sorts of decisions and products when they go to the market the accountability and if that sounds familiar, guys, we heard a lot about it during the proxy fight that got heated last year. he ultimately succeeded where nelson fought for. this is a big change he want to see at procter & gamble. that's the news. analysts love it bernstein took up his price target from five bucks to $9 a share. we got to talk to david taylor about a lot of things that are affecting his business in the
9:43 am
background, strong dollar, global consumers and trade wars. i want to share with you what he's worried about and how he can impact his business. listen >>. >> what i worry about trade war is destroys consumer confidence in american brands i have not seen that as long as you produce in china and most of our brands we do, the terrorisariffs won't have a impact this is good for our country and china. it is not good i believe in free and open trade. that raises all boats. >> reporter: so he does not think it is good but he did say a strong dollar is a lot more of a profit hit right now we'll have a lot more from him on the stocks and the big changes he's making today and the global environment and his thoughts on the fed coming up in
9:44 am
the next hour. back to you guys >> i think sara is in the right place. sara >> reporter: yes, i can hear you, jim >> david is so under stating and i think the change is so positive is there a way to talk about why this restructuring is so meaningful i think people on the board who think this is a long time coming >> reporter: i think investors have been complaining and debating that complex matrix structure of procter & gamble where they had heads of geographies and heads of product lines all reporting up to headquarte headquarters it has been a huge source. i remember jim, he told you a few months ago that p&g management was starting to listen to his ideas. this was what he had in mind when he was telling you that
9:45 am
taylor presented it as an evolution of this turn around they have been in for a few years. they would restructure or reorganize to get straight to the consumers thachlt they see it as a next step but as an early stages, they have got to put everything they got in to innovation and driving value. look at the macro and environment and strong dollar and everything like that they're showicasing a lot of innovation they're coming out with all these new products like heated razors this is part of why they are structuring to make fast decisions and beat out their competitors. >> it is incredible. their corporate structure was literally a harvard business school case for decades. the brand manager over the years -- >> people coming out

9:47 am
there are two days of tens down. looking at october 1st of 10-yr, it is not exact but it is darn close to a double top around that three traders are paying close attention to that and trying to defide it over 30 years bond really it had been leading the charts of the lower prices and higher yields. ten-yr note right now, look at the year to date chart of bund, you know where they are on the year they are unchanged that has changed 80 bases points it changed more than doubled the current year of 10-yr bund well, i will tell you what, you follow how that behaves and you have all the effects under

10:01 am
lower than 98.6. it is preliminary read so in a couple of weeks we'll toss it for the final read let's look at the inflation expectations, shall we 2.8 on the one-year, that's a tenth cooler than our last look which was pretty warm at 2.9% and the five to ten year inflation outlook is two-tenths hotter from 2.4 to 2.6 so if you blur your eyes and look at ppi, there is very little doubt that jay powell is monitoring a condition that is staying warm carl, back to you. >> all right, rick, thank you very much. rick santelli. our road map begins with crude getting crushed again as it dives deep interbesbee into bea territory. >> and stocks falling but still on pace for solid weekly gains a look at where to put your money to work is straight ahead. and shares of disney are rising at its profits soars, getting a boost from its studio business where is bob iger saying he's investing big? that's coming up first up, markets are lower
10:02 am
today, dow is down triple digits, down for the first time in five days as we said, oil falling deeper into bear territory, down 20%. investor ron baron joined cnbc and said he sees more growth ahead from stocks. >> i think the stock market will reflect the economy. i think in ten years the stock market will double, the gdp will double, stock market will doubl double that's what the stock market is going to do. >> the gobhappy friday b baron's time line is literally
10:03 am
50 years we tried to pin him down on a tighter cycle. where do you see in the market now that we're getting warm inflation and peak earnings. >> well, rates are going up and trade concerns. >> right now we're caught in a push pull. the good news ends in higher rates and valuations have come in, not necessarily cheap. so what gets us out of that. >> i think you would have to see sentiment hange. we always come back to sentiment. investor sentiment is okay people don't feel that good even though the data is strong. if you break it down by republican and democrat, but putting money to work is something clients feel nervous abou about. >> are you viewing the market through a prism of fading fundamentals but solid
10:04 am
seasonality and technicals like bye backs? >> yes, so the buyback window just reopened again and by some measures buybacks will be about 800 or 900 billion this year so it's a very big number. it will add probably 3% or 4% to earnings growth so it's certainly not something that should be underestimated but i think we've had this big earnings boom this year. third quarter actually ended up surpassing everyone's expectations at the beginning of earnings season everyone was worried that the jig is up. profit margins won't erode as labor costs rise and we're here at plus 25% year over year with 82% of companies beating by an aggregate of about 600 basis points but the market looks past that the market doesn't reward unsustainable big earnings spurts so where do we settle in for 2019 and 2020? if it's at 10% earnings growth and we have a 15/16 multiple and
10:05 am
the fed ends at neutral at 3% there's not a lot not to like about the stock market but there's a lot of variables because earnings growth could surprise to the down side, the fed could surprise to the upside and that's a different story. >> which way does the fed surprise when we're getting hot wholesale prices and cooler oil as we mentioned at the top. >> i think the fed is being refreshingly plain spoken. there's no justification to be below neutral which most people think is around 3% and i think the fed has pointed out that inflation can run a little hot north of its 2% target and
10:06 am
that's okay but i think what the fed is really looking at and what i am looking at is inflation expectation. so the five year forward tips break even has been steady at about 2% to 2.5% if that gets unanchored at some point, that will influence the fed and might force it to go beyond neutral to 3.5% to 4% there's no evidence that that's happening. the expectations are more important than where the inflation data are running relative to the fed's target. >> the rest of the world equity indexes haven't gotten as much relief as the u.s. they continue to lag is that telling us a story of a soft patch in global growth. can this divergence with the u.s. continuing to outperform? >> if trade concerns continue, which that is still very much a wild card, and the strong dollar
10:07 am
isn't help iing. it's been a very hard case to make to clients in the shorter run. >> has there been any discussion in your circles about the corporate tax rate and whether or not the president is serious about giving back those cuts to pay for different kinds of cuts? >> we think the one thing we know post-tuesday is we won't get a tax cut 2.0. i know that was obviously back on the radar, it's still in the realm of possibility but we're focusing on an infrastructure bill. >> and when you hear the term "fading fiscal stimulus" do you agree with it? >> it's interesting you mention that, generally the playbook posted my term election is that the market has its best year, that the first two years tend to be below average and presumably the reason for that is his that historically administrations have sort of back loaded the economic stimulus in order to
10:08 am
get reelected. this year i think it's been front loaded so i don't think that third year scenario is going to work this time. it wouldn't shock me if the fiscal stimulus continues but i think fading the earnings growth from the taxes and fading the fiscal stimulus that we're starting -- 2019 will see less positive effects of that than in 2018 that may take the fed out of the picture sooner which will be a positive so it remains very much a balance between the earnings side and the liquidity side and that's why we've been in this holding pattern. >> november will give us more to chew on in the next few weeks. have a good weekend. thanks. president trump making some comments at the white house before traveling to paris. he's going there to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the armistice. eamon javers is at the white house with more.
10:09 am
>> just two to flag for you here right now. one was on immigration and how the unemployment number relates to the need for immigrants to come into this country an interesting take here from a president who is seen as anti-immigration politically said something a little different today. here's what he said. >> we want people to come in through the merit system so that they can work for all of these great companies that i have coming into our country. we have many car companies coming in. we have many tech companies coming in. we have literally hundreds of companies moving back into the united states. we need people we need to have you see the unemployment numbers are at record lows. we need people in our country but they have to come in legally and they have to have merit. >> the president was also asked about a federal judge's decision
10:10 am
to block the keystone pipeline construction here's what he said there. >> it was a political decision made by a judge. i think it's a disgrace. it's -- 48,000 jobs. i approved it. it's ready to start and they went and i guess they'll end up going to the ninth circuit, as usual. we're slowly putting new judges in the ninth circuit everything goes to the ninth circuit. everything. >> and, guys, the president also attacked a number of people, including reporters who were there asking him questions former president barack obama, robert mueller, the special counsel. and he defended his choice, now, for acting attorney general, matthew whitaker, saying he didn't know matthew whitaker, although there has been reporting that whitaker spent quite a bit of time in the oval office as his role as jeff sessions chief of staff and saying he thinks whitaker will do a fine job as acting attorney general. but no comment from the president on whether whitaker will be his choice permanently for attorney general or whether
10:11 am
he will pick somebody else back over to you. >> eamon, thank you. eamon javers at the white house. let's look at shares of ge they are on their worst levels of the trading session so far. this after the most influential analyst out there, stephen tusa, says ge's recent earnings report was worse than expected on all fronts of course mr. tusa is one analyst of many who has an opinion, don't forget. that but it's the most influential opinion give than he's been negative for quite some time and, of course, more importantly has been right his focus is to a certain extent on ge capital itself and on leverage of the company and their inability to deleverage in the way that he believes they have said they would saying the clock is ticking, losses are running at about a billion and a half with a cash burn of three
10:12 am
billion. yes, the quarter was poised to break even but as per the 10-q and not discussed in prepared remarks is half a billion of gains. he says they're losing about a billion and a half on annualized run rate and it can get worse. with higher rates and a coming wall of refinancing as well. so simply put his belief to a certain extent is that the leverage there is higher than company's actually saying and giving the underperformance as well, the industrial business, he's saying normalized leverage, there's a $65 billion gap when we believe what is going to happen at gecs you're ending up at a large leveraged number which would point to a lead -- and he hasn't necessarily said this -- to raise cash i think the company itself would say something different. last week we had an upgrade from ubs in part because they simply think larry culp, the man who came in to run this company, is going to succeed in turning it
10:13 am
around and investors, though, taking a cue from tusa. >> it's this liability wall they're hitting and there's no real easy way around it. will it be asset sales >> but liquidity is not the story. >> and including the industrial business >> nothing going on positive, at least for some time. but we haven't heard anything from ge specific to this they came back to a certain extent with john inch's report that had a similar price target earlier this week. >> we'll keep our eye on ge. below nine is the big story. let's get back to sara eisen in cincinnati with p&g sara >> carl, good morning again. when we come back, we'll have an exclusive conversation with procter & gamble's chairman and ceo david taylor about the big
10:14 am
changes. biggest in 20 years. they say the outlook for the u.s. consumer and the state of the global economy, he's optimistic about it, including china. >> china with all the things i've heard about china and read about china, it's still the categories are growing. >> you don't see a slowdown? >> for our cegatories they tend to be high single digits, many high single digits your company is constantly evolving. and the decisions you make have far reaching implications. the right relationship with a corporate bank who understands your industry and your world can help you make well informed choices and stay ahead of opportunities. pnc brings you the resources of one of the nation's largest banks, and a local approach
10:16 am
10:17 am
p&g has just announced a major shakeup of its organization and its corporate structure. it's dividing itself into six business units with their own ceos like beauty and grooming where they're responsible and accountable for everything, trying to make the company more nimble, more agile, more competitive and more innovative. so i had a chance to sit down with chairman and ceo david taylor and i asked him how big of a change this is. >> it's a significant move in the direction we have been moving two years ago, february 16, i talked about more moving in the big markets starting with the u. u.s. the same time we talked about in the smaller markets having freedom within a framework so we will be more agile in small markets. this takes it to a next big step at the same time it changes from
10:18 am
other things about how we staff and manage talent to reinforce this choice, to make sure we're more agile, accountable and able to win in both big markets and in smaller more volatile markets. >> does this mean you're throng your new board member nelson peltz? >> i listen to all my board members. we start with listening to the consumer but we also as we lead the organizational change, we did consult with all 12 of our external board members and we have a very active and engaged board and they've been active and engaged but any good ideas we'll take if it allows us to grow faster, that's a good thing. >> do you have regrets about the way the company approached that pocksy fight and fought so hard against him joining? >> no, i think it was important we established what we believed was right. p&g is a company about winning over time. and we're about doing it the right way. our value and principle has everything we do so when one challenges on areas we didn't think made sense we thought it made sense to stand up for what we learned was right
10:19 am
as we learned more and more and talked as often happens with dialogue, we're able to find common ground. and we listen to investors we believe you listen to your investors and other stakeholders >> you saw the best sales growth in years in the last quarter and investors are trying to figure out with that tough macroeconomic environment just how sustainable it is. >> to me, the best evidence i can give for sustainability is to look for two years ago, last year and this year what you see a consistent improvement in the number of brands growing, the number of countries growing which says we're doing in the a way that's sustainable. not by an aggressive pro notion a market or with a customer. it's by the superiority strategy that is substantive.motion in a market or with a customer it's by the superiority strategy that is substantive. better products so that if you use the product and brand and then go back to what you're using before you notice the difference so you come back. if the consumer loves it and he or she comes back that's a
10:20 am
sustainable approach we have to deal with and are dealing with things for an exchange environments, for a u.s. domicile company. because of oil prices and others over time they've come down recently in general commodity costs are higher and transportation and warehousing especially in the u.s. costs are higher. >> you think inflation in the broader economy will be a problem? >> there's not a lot of evidence inflation has grown a lot. certain categories are where imput costs have grown up a good bit. over time we will find opportunities through productivity to either offset or bring innovation where the consumer chooses to buy the new brand. we watch carefully if the value rate gogs down and certainly an aggregate will see what happens with inflation but certainly in the u.s. and in many countries it hasn't gotten
10:21 am
ahead of itself. there are more volatile countries where foreign exchange changed significantly and we have raised prices significantly. you are seeing escalating inflation. certainly places like argentina and turkey two markets we have a meaningful business >> the u.s., the consumer environment has been strong, spending has been strong do you see that continuing into next year? >> there's no evidence either unemployment or consumer confidence or any other macro factors that would cause me to lose confidence of the u.s. being a great market to do business in. it's one of the reasons why we're telling all of our category leaders we need to win in the u.s., which is why i take confidence in the sustainability of the strategy and the fact that we're growing share one month, three months, six months. getting our right in the biggest market is a strong statement on the sustainability of the action plan of the strategy. >> overall u.s. economy, fed's raising rates, does that feel appropriate to you >> well, they've raised rates a number of times but the absolute rates aren't very high but any
10:22 am
historical measure certainly we're concerned if it gets ahead of itself. that would be a problem. anything that causes consumer confidence to drop significantly or starts to weigh heavily on the growth rate of the broader economy would concern me. >> but you're not seeing that? >> not in a big way. our categories generally, the 10 categories we do business generally have been stable in the u.s. or slightly up, not down so i'm not seeing evidence the categories in which we do business, these categories are slowing down, when we bring information and do our job right, we can accelerate because that will be better value. that's true of olay whips, true of tide pods, true of discreet boutique, true of pampers pure so many of these are products that give you either a new form or additional benefits the consumer is willing to pay more for because they provide better value. >> you think the market is giving you enough credit the stock is still down this year and underperforming, the
10:23 am
broader s&p 500. >> you probably know as much as i do it's very hard to predict short run what the stock will do and what the market will do. i believe when we consistently deliver top, bottom in cash we'll get appropriately rewarded. >> to be fair to mr. taylor, the stock has had a very good run since may. it's up almost 30% that's on the combination of this quarter they recently announced and the fact the overall market turned more defensive, adding up to a flat year because of concerns about trade and the strong dollar and slower growth going into the year but procter & gamble has outperformed the broader consumer staples business and today's moves, what they're talking about, it's super charging that growth and staying more competitive in an environment where they can control things like the strong dollar and the cost inflation and the tariffs. those are impacting this global company that gets 60% of its business overseas. >> one thing they can control is where they put their ad dollars and we know they've made changes
10:24 am
to their strategy focusing on digital media and they made updates yesterday, right >> yes, so they're going to continue to put more money into digital media. it's something david taylor and i talked a little bit about. i said does that include amazon? yes. increasing money toward amazon i asked about facebook, actually, because he mentioned that was one of the places they see a lot of engagement and they are trying to reach the new millennial consumer, a lot of these big brands are i said do any of the privacy scandal worsery you or make you reluctant to put money into facebook for advertising he said he watches it pretty closely but, no, they still see it as a place to reach a lot of consumers, obviously, with more than two billion people on facebook instagram he mentioned, snapc t snapchat, twitter. so they continue to move those ad dollars there they're one of the biggest advertisers in the world so that clearly matters and it's part of their whole repositioning of trying to get newer innovations to the consumer faster and to a
10:25 am
younger consumer, something they talked a lot about. >> and sara, was there any sense of changes at all in the relationship between the big retailers? there's always been a sense of a pendulum swinging back and forth where the power sits maybe at times with the supermarket chains, the big retailers where they can squeeze suppliers like p&g? is there any change on that front or are they focused on making sure their brands outperform against the competition? >> they are focused on the relationship with the consume yrconsumer. a lot of these big companies, it was about the relationship other businesses and retailers and getting shelf space but consumers don't shop that way any more e-commerce is a huge part of the project and they've missed out because the consumer wasn't shopping the way they used to and they've missed out on
10:26 am
innovations in the way they shop so they're hoping by this structure where the ceo of all the business units are responsible for everything, including product innovations, distributions, bringing them to the market, how quickly, how they market that, that that will correct that so the focus is on the direct-to-consumer relationship which is a big shift for p&g but warren buffett talks about this all the time. retailers have power, squeezing them on margins and prices right now with procter & gamble and kimberly, if they're trying to raise prices and pass on cost increases, it hasn't happened yet so we'll see how retailers and consumers respond to that. it will be a big story in the second half of the year. >> that's a great point as we're two hours away from that ppi number we'll see you later this morning. sara eisen with p&g in cincinnati when we come back, crude continues its decline below 60 down for ten straight days plus, disney leading the dow this morning

10:32 am
dhabi. that could push prices higher but not necessarily likely sources are saying if they give in now, they're handing a win to the united states. add to that this think tank study coming out of saudi arabia meant to test the market reaction to the notionover disassembling opec not saying it will happen any time soon but an interesting con september to think about here. the end result would allow many international producers with competing interesting to set their own policy that would be chaotic. but look at the etfs, the xop, the all lower for the weak and badly beaten for the month as well the energies screen, the stocks i watch, all red big oil, exxonmobil, conocophillips, chevron, look at the services, halliburton, baker hughes, schlumberger and the pipelines. this is very interesting, trans-canada, enbridge, kinder morgan a little nugget there, decision by a federal judge in montana repudiating one of the president's first acts in the energy space, to fast track the

10:36 am
all-important content strategy. >> we're winning with third party licensing which already started so the product appears on our service and not third party services we're investing substantially in original content really against what will be all of those brands but we're making "star wars" series and marvel series and certainly disney series and pixar and original movies and well and then there will be thousands of hours of library product products. >> it's really the future of disn disney they don't give us a lot of detail on the cost, the spend, the return on investor capital the things investors want to know as they go head to head with netflix. >> they want a netflix multiple
10:37 am
on the stop or something like it and netflix doesn't have a multiple because it gets down into the details of what the distribution costs are it's about the vision. and i think bob iger has a good poi point. when you think about it, what is a netflix brand you can think of they don't have big brands amazon, same thing amazon has other advantages. there's room for another streaming service and disney will be the only one with many household names appearing there, starting with the disney brand itself but then the action heroes, the marvel, the pixar, that's going to be an interesting strategy to see how powerful the brand is when you put it into a stream package. >> you mean franchises >> franchises, exact. >> i not just a series title, in
10:38 am
other words? >> right. >> there's a lot of movies and shows under the marvel thing but when the marvel name is on it, you know what you're getting, especially if you're a young male and this is working amazingly well for them in the feature film arena everybody thinks feature films are cyclical businesses. how do you keep churning out hits i -- it's somewhat cyclical but disney's studio performance this quarter is phenomenal and -- a lot of that is this branded content they're putting out. it seems there's an audience that will go to a marvel film pretty much whatever it is because it's got the marvel brand on. >> it and that goes back a long way where iger said we're making too many kind of interchangeable looking romantic comedies, it could be a sony movie, it could be a fox movie but what's interesting is you named those franchises that were acquired and when pixar was acquired people said too expensive, crazy price, not much financials there marvel was considered too expensive. lucas less so perhaps because
10:39 am
they already established the path but in other words investors are used to looking at noisy financial implications of these big franchise deals and maybe direct-to-consumer, that's why they're getting the benefit of the doubt because they're already multibillion dollar spenders every year on content that -- >> well, what is netflix spending, $8 billion or something like that? >> on balance sheet but $12 billion this year cash. >> that's pretty capital intensive. >> you don't have a 100-year track record of a library. you have to go from scratch. >> right look, it will be tough for disney especially in the early going because you have netflix that is not looking at profit, it's looking at long term investment and has done so sk saysfully and the market gave them the benefit of the doubt. will the market give disney the benefit of the doubt maybe. >> i don't know that they're looking for as much volume as netflix. you heard iger refer to third
10:40 am
party distribution rights. they have to buy those in. it will cost them something but my sense is there's more the tent poles you're discussing the franchises will be enough that you feel like you have to have the service they may not have 100 different series at any one time. >> right and what they are doing is taking the strategy that has worked in the feature film division and they're move it into the streaming service building around the grounds, that raises a question about the fox acquisition which is not in the same intellectual property league tradition of the pixar, the marvel they're buying a lot of assets back, they're buying a film division, they make a dull, they make specialty things. >> they have avatar. >> avatar -- i heard iger talking about avatar that's the one big brand they have they have a whole series of avatar coming but i don't think you pay that many billions of dollars just for avatar. it will be interesting to see what they'll trying to do with
10:41 am
that to fill out their offerings with, like a dull independent oscar winning kind of thing, as an investor, i can't get too excited. >> just to quickly change gears to ge, jim, while we have you. it's 30 cents away from a seven handle what do you say now? >> it's astonishing. we're watching the slow-motion collapse of one of the great industrial companies of all time and i think -- i guess i've got to get busy but we have to get to the bottom. what happened in the immelt tenure, the plant of the seeds of this absolute disaster. and it's not like other industrial companies aren't doing okay what happened in this power business look, i don't know the answer to that but i thinkinvestors ough to be pounding the table to get to the bottom of it. where does it end? these numbers are terrible. >> and the work you do is on the
10:42 am
board of directors when i look back over the course of that period of time that immelt ran the company and have those same questions you have to wonder to what extent. i don't know that a board is capable of understanding or interjecting itself effectively in a complex company like ge i think there that's an example of how they can only go so far. >> this was a blue chip board, no question about it maybe they were lulled about the false sense of security of decades of predictable earnings at this company and investor praise but the fact is there are prisoners of the information they get and who controls the information flow the ceo. that's got to be part of this story. what were they told? do they get accurate information? do they get complete information? was information being withheld from them? what were they doing when they acquired the giant power business in france they've basically written the whole thing off. that's an astonishing misjudgment.
10:43 am
>> new board, new ceo and challenges at ge let's get back to sara who is in cincinnati with procter & gamble and a look at what's coming later on today. vary >> later on the closing bell i'll have more on my conversation with p&g ceo chairman david taylor that you haven't heard yet. you go deep into the trade issues where procter & gamble is feeling it the most. what his thoughts are on the entire administration's approach to trade basically he says trade wars are not good and he's worried about the perception of american brands in places like china. so we'll go into that conversation also his thoughts on the midterm elections and what it will mean for the global consumer in light of the big move this is company has made to reorganize its entire corporate structure that's later on in the closing bell see you then. >> sara, sounds good as we go to break, take a check of the major averages. dow session low is down 195 so about 70 points above that right

rick santoli live on the floor of the cme with my final guest of the week, the professor at the university of maryland, former imf economist, former federal reserve economist, former assistant secretary of treasury, quite a resume we'll get right into it. we had a hotter-than-expected ppi, up 0.5 p any quick thoughts on how that might play into yesterday's fed meeting, no rate hike and ongoing policy of tapping the brake? >> looks like the fed is locked into december, the ppi running
10:48 am
hot will help lock them in the creep eye next week probably will be a touch on the hot side. sometimes just a reversal from the previous months. for me, the question is what do they do in march >> digging down, one of the papers that i read that you penned started out with a line "all downhill from here. explain. >> we've had two great quarterers, over four, then 3.5% on gdp growth. i want to see business investment kick in and for the u.s. economy to sustain the growth, to sustain the upshift we have to take care of the impediments to growth. take care of those things so we
10:49 am
