1:00 pm
>> good stuff. thank you, josh brown. >> dunkin brands, i'm an investor and client. >> i knew he was going to say that. >> such a lay up. >> that was very vivian. >> pete, what do you got for me. >> vm ware, buying out in april, not looking for a big move >> "the exchange" begins now. scott, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. welcome to the exchange, i'm tyler mathisen on a tuesday. a selloff on wall street, the first big one in a long time the dow having its biggest fall in two months, this after president trump suggested he may want to delay a trade deal with china until after the election the president referencing the market's drop today calling it peanuts and saying it won't force him into making a bad deal let's get more on the selloff with dom chew. >> -- dom chu, at our lowest
1:01 pm
point, down 457 points for the dow, at the highest, down 272. it's been a red day since the beginning but the s&p 500 down about 30 points right now, off of its worst levels today, the nasdaq off about 1% as well. one place we're keeping a close eye on is the elevation and stock market volatility. it's not often we will show the cbo volatility index for vix for short. but we are siegel evacuat-- seeing elevated levels we are pretty depressed, but the long-term average for the volatility index is 15 above that right now and chips under fire micron, intel, applied materials and nvidia, off 2 to 3% at this stage. one of the big battlegrounds when it comes to u.s. china trade talks. keep an eye on the semiconductor s, and temperatusemi etf back to you.
1:02 pm
>> thank you very much and we begin with the latest on trade and tariffs, and kayla is live in washington kayla, lots of moving parts today. tariffs everywhere. >> as there are always moving parts, tyler, the multi-front trade war is heating up again with the trump administration now proposing tariffs up to 100% on $2.4 billion in french luxury goods. it's a counter punch to france's attacks on revenue which the president says he should be collecting. >> i think we'll be able to work something out, i hope, and maybe not. maybe we'll do it through taxing, working easily through taxing, but they're american companies, the tech companies you're talking about they're not my favorite people because they're not sal for me i don't care, they're american companies and we want to tax american companies >> president leaving his options open for negotiation there, but if those tariffs hit in mid january, that would be a month after a deadline for new tariffs on china
1:03 pm
the truce with beijing has lasted 53 days this time at least and a delay by trump without a deal would be the fourth such move this year alone. the state of play is unclear as of now with trump saying a deal may be nearly a year away. tyler. >> kayla, thank you very much. let's take a closer look at how this trade turmoil is hitting the markets. the broader economy, and geopolitical tensions. joining us now, steven whiting, economist of city private bank tory smith, and peter book barr, a chief investment at bleakley advisory group and a cnbc contributor. why don't we talk about the latest tariff and that's the one the president says he may put on french luxury goods in retaliation for a french tax on american technology products and internet related products. unpack this one for me
1:04 pm
>> yeah, so what we're looking at here is a french digital tax that was imposed several months ago, and really the united states has been investigating this tax to see if it's affecting the united states but the problem is that it's not actually affecting americans it's affecting american businesses in france of course but that's more negative impact on french citizens that are using products and services like amazon, facebook, google, et cetera and even amazon has come out and said several months ago, you know, we're actually just going to pass this tax right on to the consumers. we're not going to be absorbing these costs at all. >> these things ultimately come back and are paid in the form of higher prices usually, aren't they >> tariffs in the united states are paid on chinese merchandise are paid by american importers if we go ahead with this, this is $100 billion of taxes that would be collected roughly speaking, analyzed rate from
1:05 pm
americans paying for those products it causes some displacement, if we weren't collecting that money at you will, there would be no impact, but we are >> but we are. what is your sense of whether the tariffs that are scheduled to go in on december 15th on a host of goods including now things that really hit home, like my ear buds, ear pods and so forth, that they will go into effect. >> look, i think there's a great deal of suspense about this. we have had delays before. i want to be clear here that with all the news we can follow, all the experts that we can talk to we can't know for sure what both sides will do. it will not mean the end for an otherwise underlying healthy u.s. economy and global economy. this has been a weight that has been taken on and off over the course of the last two years if we want to put it back on again, then we'll have to struggle a little bit. but the underlying story is a good one, with low inflation,
1:06 pm
solid consumers, and a business sector that recoiled, that cut production on the anticipation of an economic downturn here and across the world i don't think putting these things on again will be decisive in stopping a recovery in the coming year. >> let's talk about that peter, as you look at the possibility of higher tariffs on chinese imports, the possibility or really the reality of tariffs on argentinian, and brazilian steel products, possibly on french cheese and wine. what's the economic impact if any? have we felt it yet? are we likely to feel it in 2020 what does it translate to. >> i refer to the tariffs as mud into the spokes of business. it doesn't stop the wheel from spinning but sort of clogs it up we're seeing in the u.s., contraction and manufacturing, four months in a row as measured by the ism we're seeing global trade that is not growing at all, and a sharp reduction in capital
1:07 pm
spending yes, the consumer is keeping us alive, and we keep saying the consumer is strong well, the consumer is spending at a decent rate and that's why we're growing at 1 1/2 to 2% instead of something faster but we're threatening the possibility of that consumer no longer being so strong, particularly if those december 15th tariffs go into play. >> it hit consumer goods. >> exactly and that's why i'm convinced whether we have a deal or no deal, those december 15th tariffs will get kicked into 2020. >> let me put this out here for the table, and tori, i'll let you go first on this it seemed to me that yesterday, i married a metaphor that we were inches away from a phase one deal with china. today we sound like we are a year away from a phase one deal with china is this just negotiating tactics, what are the odds that what the president said today is the master deal maker playing
1:08 pm
the last innings of this deal? >> well, there's really no telling when an end will come to the u.s. china con flibflict, ad even this next potential deal is only a phase one, right, and the administration hasn't yet admitted to a tariff roll back, included in this phase one deal. from the american consumer perspective, we're not looking at much relief anytime in the near future, whether there's a phase one deal or not. really, what they says to me is that the administration's not necessarily prioritizing an elimination of barriers on ne s americans and we might end up with a watered down deal which is more things around fringe and not the core issues. >> tactics or real snag. >> you heard the commerce secretary early on saying that you would cede your ability to negotiate if you thought you were paralyzed by an election. it makes a little bit of
1:09 pm
suspense the bottom line is you have to think about where markets have been cyclicals have had a very nice complete full circle rebound on the assumption of the things that i said that the industrial sectors across the world that the trade sectors across the world have contracted much more than these tariffs would imply, right, so we all rebound, we get very very confident, suddenly the news headline hit us the reality is i think we can still actually grow through these tariffs. >> what occurs to me ladies and gentlemen, is this, on any given day, the market is hyper sensitive to a headline on trade. good headline, market goes up. >> especially when we have rallied. >> and bad headline or questions about it market goes down. but if you look at the year as a whole or the last 18 months as a hole, all of this trade turmoil has meant very very little the market's up 25% this year, peter. >> right but underneath the hood, earnings are possibly flat to down this year
1:10 pm
so it's had a fundamental impact. >> that's exactly correct. >> classic margins are now receding we have revenue growth the profit margin has completely changed. >> if i have a market that's up 25% this year, and earnings are roughly flat and profit margins are going down, is that a vulnerable narcotic. >> the market is not going to be able to repeat the large gain that it had in 2019. we're expecting single digit returns. we want again to focus on a little bit of the sure part of returns, dividend income, for example, is a lot more sure. you have to put this in the context of two years 2018, we had a severe valuation contracture, one of the most severe in 50 years earnings up double digits, share prices down. so this year, flat on earnings, share prices up, you know, there's a middle ground here that i think we're likely to hit and it's going to depend in fact if we swerve away from any massive trade cliff or make
1:11 pm
mistakes in monetary policy. i'm unsure on the latter part. in the end, i think we can in fact have gain in earnings and shareprices will basically follow through. >> we've got some breaking news. i'm going to cut off the conversation there, gentleman, thank you very much. tori thank you as well we have breaking news on democratic candidate kamala harris and kayla has the details. >> senator kamala harris is ending her presidential campaign, this is confirmed by brian schwartz of cnbc.com, confirmed by the atlantic and politico this is the first of the candidates in the democratic field that had been polling at one point in the top tier of these candidates but there had been some disarray, and some disorganization amid the campaign she had closed operations in some of the early voting states and pretty much focused all of her efforts on iowa, but that strategy did not bear out. some of the reporting is that senator harris is traveling to tell her staff in baltimore, and new york about her decision to end her presidential campaign.
1:12 pm
when we get more about exactly why she made this decision at this stage in the race, we will share it with you. brian schwartz from cnbc.com reported that there had been a fundraiser scheduled for today hosted by some heavy hitters on wall street, hosted at the paul white law firm that had been abruptly called off with sources telling schwartz that that had been for personal matters but clearly the end of the road at this point for senator harris, although a very large democratic field still remains. >> wow, kayla, this one is abrupt, as far as i can tell i mean, she was, as you pointed out, a front runner four months ago, based on her performance in i believe it was the first of the debates where she assailed very personally joe biden. >> she did that was back in june, though, tyler, and the spike that she saw in her poll numbers was short lived. she was unable to regain that momentum which in the intervening months has been picked up by pete buttigieg who has tried to own the moderate
1:13 pm
lane certainly she felt like she could not regain that momentum, and did not have the resources at this stage to continue. >> kayla, thanks very much once again, kamala harris ending her campaign for the presidency. shares of apple among the worst performers in the dow as trade worries ramp up. the company caught squarely in the middle of the tariff debate given its large iphone manufacturing footprint in china, so what could be the financial impact on apple's bottom line if a new round of tariffs kick in. dan ives is managing director at equity research at web bush. good to see you. what's at sake here for apple? >> there's a lot at stake, it really comes down, they're the poster child for the u.s. china trade wars do they absorb or pass that tariff along if they're not exempt in my opinion, this could be a 4% reduction to eps or reduction demand if they pass forward.
1:14 pm
there's a game of high stakes poker, especially for app and will cook as they go into december 15th. >> koch has played this game skillfully, seemingly good relationships with the white house, the president the president was with him a week ago at a factory down in i believe it was texas what can apple do here is a waiver a possibility or some sort of exclusion of their products and if they get an exclusion, you can well imagine dozens of other companies are saying why not us too? >> it's a great point and cook has been a master tactician in terms of how he sort of played this i continue to think that exemption is a very likely possibility if the december 15th tariff comes in. you saw that in the austin, in some of the back and forth with cook and trump and cook continuing to be a pseudo ambassador between the u.s. and china on this you take a step back you're talking about a third of the install base is going to be
1:15 pm
an upgrade cycle between 11 as well as the 5g this is a pivotal time for apple. you have seen it obviously in the stock. i believe it's a $20 overhang on the stock in terms of the black clouds from the u.s. china tariff issues. >> very interesting. dan ives, thank you very much. apple up 25% over the past three months one of the best performing stocks among the dow in that time dan ives thanks. here's what else is ahead on "the exchange. coming up, numb to the news, one analyst says there are two stocks to buy right now because the negative headlines that follow them just don't matter. he'll join us. plus, there were some very surprising win when it came to foot traffic this weekend. we'll tell you who and a look at the growing college debt crisis. this is "the exchange" on cnbc when it comes to your customers' expectations,

and welcome back to "the exchange" retailers are falling along with the broader markets today as the risk of tariffs threatened to hijack the holiday shopping season. so what's in store for these stocks, coming off a record breaking cyber monday, for more, let's welcome kimberly greenberger, managing director in retail research at morgan stanley, and courtney reagan,
1:19 pm
welcome back from bethlehem, pennsylvania, good to have you here kimberly, let me start with you. i guess the market is reacting to the possibility of tariffs, higher tariffs starting december 15th in the companies that you follow, the retailers that you follow, if new tariffs come in, it's not going to affect them looking backwards. it's only in 2020, right, because they've got all their merchandise already. >> that's right, tyler most u.s. retailers land their holiday goods in the august, september and at the latest october time frame so really the tariff news coming out today is certainly an incremental head wind for profit margins in 2020 but not a material head wind at the holiday season. >> which of the retailers you follow do you think would be most adversely affected by heightened tariffs >> well, the retailers who sell more commodity type apparel, where they would not have much pricing power, on the other end of the spectrum, we think
1:20 pm
companies like nike, who have very covetable products, nike has pricing power and nike has the ability to pass on that increme incremental cost head wind that it would be experiencing they could pass that on to consumers. if you think about some of the more generic or basic kind of apparel, you would think of gap or old navy. it's very difficult in commodity t-shirts or commodity jeans to have any pricing power and so it's those kinds of retailers that would actually see their profit margins. >> that's an interesting way to think about it, courtney. >> that's why if you think about some of the staple names like some of these dollar stores, they have fixed pricing, so that's part of the stitch, you want something for $3, how are you going to raise that price. you can't really >> that's your game. that's your zone. >> your business model on this exactly. that gets tricky, especially more for a dollar tree than dollar general because dollar
1:21 pm
tree has slightly nor discretionary products at a fixed price. if you have a product that is really desirable, you're able to fa nag that pricing you need to think about retailers that are sort of the second party in line we talk about a company like best buy 60% of best buy's costs of goods sold are made in china however, a lot of those are made by samsung or apple, somebody that's going to get the tariff first. watch, you know, the vendors, we have to watch them sort of first to see how much they can absorb before they say that's all we can do now it's up to you retailers. >> kimberly as you look at the universe of stocks you follow or sector you follow, are there standouts in your view >> we do think there are several standouts, first of all, the off
1:22 pm
price retailers, tjx, ross stores, burlington, they represent value, and they will follow on price, but they will always maintain their price discount relative to the full price channel. if we do have tariffs come in, the off price retailers would be positioned at an even greater value proposition. because they're buying goods already here in the united states in large measure they would not be the ones paying for the tariffs. we think they're certainly in better position. you also have companies with actual pricing power, and i would call out lieu liulu lemon, yedi, these are brands that have performance technology or some sort of quality point of difference that gives them some degree of pricing power, and we think they are absolutely better positioned heading into this environment. >> they are inoculated because of the quality of their products
1:23 pm
and the brand they have been able to establish. kimberly, thank you very much, great to see you >> court, bethlehem yesterday, canada tomorrow, safe travels as you interview the owner of travel goose. investors advertisers and users don't care about negative headline on facebook and google. at least that's what one analyst says, why he says it's time to buy them right now. plus, boston beer getting an upgrade but not for what it's best known for the details and what it says about the industry, take a look at the dow transports, their worst day since early october. woman: my reputation was trashed online.

as you just saw there, the dow rallying back just a bit, down 325 points, a far cry from 457. let's catch you up on a few stories that should be on your radar, it's time for rapid fire and here with their take, robert, don chu, welcome all three. piper jaffray raising its price target by more than 50 bucks, calling it quote a must own stock in the auto sector the firm says investors would have a hard time finding a more disruptive company in any industry citing high manufacturing volume, bold designs. you can say that about the truck, if it was a truck and its new cyber truck as reasons to be bullish. the shares up nearly 50% in just the past three months. what do we think of this is tesla one of the most disruptive companies in the world? >> it is, and whether or not it's valued correctly is a complete other question. it is certainly one of the most disruptive companies out there,
1:34 pm
and the reason i know this, if i didn't know it already, is my mechanic of all people told me, what do you think your next car is going to be my car is 15 years old he goes you're a prime candidate for a tesla. you have a predictable commute, you know exactly when you have to charge. if i were one, i would get a tesla. that tells me there's more to this. >> they included not only the high volume manufacturing, which as we know elon musk took the rein out and said we have to whip this into shape, and frugal capital spending, these are signs of a leader who had tight reins on his organization, and it's not something that you would normally think about with elon musk. >> no. >> talk about visionary. >> tight reins and visionary is not what comes to mind. >> or math >> here's the thing about the truck, one of the things, they could get to 200,000 trucks a
1:35 pm
year by 2023, something like that ford sells a million pickup trucks a year. that's a fifth of what ford already does even if they hit that wild target of 200,000, and by the way, tesla's market cap is like twice as much as ford's. so there's a discrepancy in terms of tom to your point, the valuation, that just doesn't make sense. >> let's move on to corporate jets, from teslas to corporate jets use by american companies is on the rise and nearing prefinancial crisis levels, kau causing a bit of unwanted turbulence what do you know about this one? >> if you take a private jet, you have to pay the company back there's this weird accounting thing where the company loses tax deductions because you have used it for personal use pilots, maintenance, depreciation, all of that would normally be written off the taxes as a company. >> as a business expense.
1:36 pm
>> in this case, they found that visa, for instance, racked up loss of deductions of $4.8 million a year because of the personal use of the jet by the ceo. and this is one of those sort of strange hidden costs of private jet use that doesn't show up on any s.e.c. form but reuters was able to dig the numbers out. >> why doesn't the ceo have to gross up the loss of deductions. in other words, that's a cost, right. >> well, it does count as compensation on his w 2 if he takes it for personal use. what they're saying is there's a hidden loss of deductions that isn't accounted for anywhere, that really is the loss of the company. >> if it's considered compensation, at some point they're getting the cost. >> the ceo is not paying those lost deductions, which again, can be far more than the actual cost so it's one of those hidden perks and there was a company flagged aros, an insurance
1:37 pm
company, amsterdam, india, around the world, the loss and deductions was so significant that a hedge fund said we think you're a badly run company >> and that's when you're comparing the flights for a first class ticket. >> it doesn't really equate. >> this isn't my world but my guess is a business executive can find a pretty good rational for calling a business trip. if it is just you and your family, that's another thing. >> me and my family are going to the beach house but i took corporate papers that i didn't want anyone on a corporate flight to see. if you want to just avoid. >> you're right, it's not your world. if you wanted to just avoid all of these things, get a net jets account, or get one of those fractional shares. get rid of all of that stuff, to your own personal stuff and then you don't have to deal with
