some 40,000 residents to evacuate their homes amid wild fire rage. the one thing at the biggest risk in stocks now it is friday, october 25 "worldwide exchange" begins right now. good morning, good afternoon, good morning thank you for joining us this friday morning this is your stock and your story of the day that is amazon shares are sinking in the pre-market after those earnings were reported. bounced back some what down around 5% still

that is a nearly $$50 billion move they are losing a ford-sized company right now. moving on to indonesia authorities recommend closer scrutiny of automated systems and better flight deck systems in a statement, they say the max are undergoing, quote, unprecedented level of testing, oversight and analysis they say they are making sure the conditions from the accident will never happen again. >> boeing, the highest value stock means it is the heaviest

weighted boeing, the most important single-weighted stock. boeing's move down not impacting the futures. the dow dropping 28 points yesterday. we slowed grinds higher. s&p 100 just higher. the bond market not moving much. future and earnings not hurting the bond market. 1.77%. let's start with asia. japan continues its slow grind higher up now i think eight of the last nine sessions. in the nikkei and the european markets kind of similar. france mildly higher, ftse

mildly higher. not a big trend either way back to your top story that is amazon, as we showed you. that stock getting hammered. down 5.5%. i guess that is relatively decent amazon was down as much as 9%. that stock prepared to show as much we talked about ford and mai marriott and fedex joining us now from london, elizabeth, what was the primary reason for the drop in profit for amazon this quarter? >> hi. that chart is not a pretty

picture. the one-day shipping program brought an increase in shipping costs. they are said to spend billions in the holiday quarter to expand that guidance of higher spending is looking to have negative impact it will also increase spending on aws and sales force for on line advertising business. overall this drop in profit shows they are a little less focused on profitability here. >> what about aws, did amazon say anything about potentially slowing sales growth there >> yes this is crucial because of the high margins it makes up a lot of amazon's profit that growth came in at 35% sales brother for aws.

a little below the estimate. if you look at it, it has been slowing. there may be signs that google cloud is making head way this is an increasingly competitive space. there is concern if amazon is losing some of that edge competitively, that could have a bigger impact on amazon going forward. >> amazon not big on giving guidance any comments about the holidays. i'm told the holidays are fairly important for retail sales >> they are. they did guide lower than what analysts had been expecting for sales. it was up about 80 to 86.5 this shows concern about the

sales going forward. it looks like these investments in one-day shipping are paying off. these sales were strong. the question is if the amount of money will payoff in that holiday quarter and if they'll continue to get subscribers to prime. certainly an important stock to watch going into the third quarter of the year and a big indication of the consumer >> we could have printed the amazon's profit not there because they are vesting billions for the future. that has been their story for two decades now. a major leadership change at one of the country's largest

banks. >> citi bank moving and fraser will replace steven bird who will leave after a short transition period. phra fraser has been at the bank for years running the bank's spanish market and corbat is expected to stay on a few more years. he says i remain committed to our firm and working even more closely with jane and her new roles. making fraser one of the highest ranking women in the industry. shares are down fractionally today but have risen almost 40%

now? >> that is sensitive and really the struggle right now there is a lot of areas that are fully priced software has struggled the multiple type of stocks are very, very high. you are getting the violent rotation out of those. when they come out with numbers that appear to be quite good it is not enough to keep the stocks worthy. >> we would say priced to perfection so many of these tech names. look at valuations you realize, your quarter is not perfect, you could see what amazon is doing right now. >> the approach to take now is forget about growth value.

the whole thing of is it time to get a value or stay with growth. really stick with core two of my colleagues wrote a paper on our website at palisade.com that talks about sticking with a strategy around core we were talking top cap core. >> what does core mean to you? >> a combination of value and growth it is what the russell 2000 was always before we created a value and a growth component >> are they sort of stuck in the middle with you, in that middle? the companies that just don't make the headlines on cnbc >> no. just the tech areas, the values

will have the industrials and things you consider more of a value. in this migration from one to another. you are always going to be the second best. it is a combination of those >> any reason to own bonds >> convertibles offer a unique risk reward. you want to watch your duration very carefully right now interest rates are still very low. talking about the markets. the 10-year was over 3%. today it is 1.7% you have to be really barish to get more return on bonds everything that can happen is bad. do we need cash or should we be

fully vested in stocks >> i think cash is something you can wait for while you you are waiting. i'm interested to see the etf because the value brother and swings are evaluated these create distortions that overshoot. having smart cash at this time will allow you to take opportunities. >> what dan is referring to is an interview coming up by a man that says that could pose the market >> a pleasure. have a great weekend we'll see you soon on deck. shares of visa we'll tell you why how much would you pay for an historical bottle of whiskey it is probably not as much as ghe went for at auction last

minimum 100 shares to buy or sell if you look at the s&p 500, this was the point i raised in the market watch piece that the s&p 500 trades at 135 share increments if you look underneath that, almost half of all trades are less than 100 shares you look at the size of black rock and state street. >> you just talked about how the actual sizes of the trades are getting smaller as well. is that in some way a taste of

things to come is. >> yes if you look at the data in 2015, the same figure shifted to etf, about $360 billion there was a net zero change. how does the market go down 20%? the answer has to be a supply chain issue. they've adopted this term, passive. i'm passively vesting. they are passive in a sense that they are constructed you leave it alone and buy what has already been built etfs are already being traded like stocks and fast

>> you are a brave man to take this on. they by definition have to have the mechanism. created in large blocks. 50,000, large price. how much you can buy what happens to the market if this is a small part of the market, it becomes a big deal. etfs directly are part of the volume then the focus shifts to how prices of the etfs and underlying stocks change it

means these value and risk is half of what they should be how many etf created in data 2.6 trillion of etf shares have been redeemed in flow. what is going on we've moved into the relative stocks short them and buy the stocks and vice versa that is now 87% of market volume >> more of that interview, you can check it out on cnbc.com one i promise you will hear more about here aside from market liquidity and
