2:01 pm
all right, welcome everybody to "power lunch. kevin is with us dominic too. welcome, dom good to see you. here is what's on tap. stocks are at session highs right now after four weeks of losses the dow is up 500 points both the dow and s&p on track for their biggest two day gains since june high stakes stimulus how speaker pelosi says she thinks, think, republicans and democrats can get a deal done before the election and tom lee says that's just one reason to buy stocks he will join us very shortly later, which presidential candidate could be better for the economy and the markets? moody's is out with a new report that takes a look at those questions investors need to know "power lunch" starts right now
2:02 pm
>> welcome to "power lunch." looks look at the bigger wins today. you have fedex leading the industrials over at deutsche bank raising target price to $318 a share both those stocks up around 2% virgin galactic getting two more buy recommendations. eight wall street analysts say the same thing buy this stock it's up more than 20% just today. on the coronavirus front, vaccine maker plunging as the fda puts its trial on hold while it awaits answers on a number of key questions putting it even further behind the time line of other big rivals in the drug business we'll keep an eye on those shares kelly, i'll send things over to you. >> dom, thank you very much. despite today's big rally the
2:03 pm
market is still on track for its first down month since march when we saw the pandemic lows. bob has more on this action for us bob. >> kelly, this has been a very difficult month for the market it's not just because september is historically been the month this is true because we're essentially hostage to the reopening story and the store has been very choppy and difficult to interpret and the markets are reflecting that. let's look at the major sectors for the month here s&p 500 big cap stocks down 4% for the mopts but so are mid cap stocks and the small caps which i consider proxies for the reopening stories. the small caps are down 5% in terms of sectors, we're all over the place there's been poktckets of good news because industrials and materials have performed energy and banks are both in long term down trends. they reflect some concerns about the reopening story in general technology down 6% largely on
2:04 pm
valuations what do you do you don't know what to do about reopening. you buy megacaps if you look at apple and this reflects the confusion buy megacaps because they are beneficiaries that work from home but apple goes from 138 to 103 this month that's not valuation play. that's a momentum play you see people confused over what to do it's bouncing back in last couple of days but that's a huge move on a monthly basis. look at all the reopening stuff. look at delta, for example the reopening news was better in the earlier part of the month. generally, the reopening name, the travel names like the deltas who did better this is a one month chart of delta. you see it moving up about 10, 11 days ago the reopening story got darker all the reopening names have travel names but industrial stocks ansz bank stocks all just sor sort of nose dive. that's the problem the market has is the reopening story going well or is it not going well we are and still remain hostage to that reopening story and to a
2:05 pm
lesser extent to the stimulus story as well. back to you. >> thank you very much the other big question weighing on investors minds is where is the stimulus nancy pelosi saying a deal is still possible let's get to ylan >> reporter: the negotiations appear to be picking up steam. the treasury secretary ri and nancy pelosi had a phone call on friday they followed that up with another brief conversation yesterday and pelosi signalled another conversation could happen today it's unclear exactly when that will be. there is not much time left on the calendar the airlines payroll support program runs out on wednesday. the house is scheduled to go on recess on friday and they are not supposed to come back until after the election currently democrats are working on their own $2.4 trillion proposal pelosi is getting squeezed by
2:06 pm
some of her vulnerable lawmakers to try to get a vote in before they go to recess. a letter said they demand a vote on a clean relief package that has direct assistance for those in need regardless of the white house or senate agree. we must show the american people that the house of representatives is open to negotiations and clear in our resolve. pelosi is in a tough spot as she tries to navigate the demands of the white house and the demands of her own caucus. back over to you >> if she gets something done in the house, what is the possibility that bill could carry in the senate? >> well, what passes in the house as a result of a compromised deal between mnuchin and med dose aadows and pelosi passing in the senate is quite high
2:07 pm
>> all right thank you very much. ylan reporting and covering all of what's going on in d.c. with the possibility of more stimulus still on the table, even if just a little bit. that's just one more reason, i suppose, to buy stocks that is what fund strats tom lee says he joins us to explain why he thinks investors are too bearish after a rough side in september. it's great to see you. you have several bricks in the wall i will use that analogy there of rising stocks. one of them is that you think investors have become too bearish. in other words, the net of the positive thinkers versus the negative thinkers tilts way to the negative >> yes i'd say that's pretty accurate since march.
2:08 pm
this rally has been strong the sell off since early september has increased the resoever of people who don't like this market there's still $4.5 trillion of cash on the sidelines just sitting there. that's about 20% of the s&p. we know retail investor sentiment is now showing negative sentiment similar to where we are in march 2020 then some data on commit m to traders on the future side show nasdaq speculators are the most short in 14 years. part of it is the back to school and flu season scaring people. there's so many elements i think people have to realize the positioning of the marks already reflects a lot of negative thinking.
2:09 pm
>> i hear you there and read in a couple of newspapers about preparing yo preparing for the pandemic fall. no wonder people are scared. why would stocks go higher >> i should have said were we likely exited this session because of the pmis. it's definitely not a recession. unemployment rates match the great depression we were in a depression but i think we won't really feel its over until recovery in the labor market i think it's safer to call it a depression even if the economy is on the mends. >> tom, it's dominic here. i'm curious so much of the narrative of the market s around
2:10 pm
what's happening with the trajectory of covid-19 infections, transmission rates it looks like that none of the upticks are having any effect on the market overall >> our data science team does track this really carefully. covid is shrinking or treating in 72% of the u.s. there's 26 states that is about 27% of the population where covid is really expanding and that's mostly the midwest. on the colleges what's interesting is data scientists can look at this college cases were about 12% of covid cases in sent. now it's down to about 8%. colleges are seeing a retreat in new cases which is surprising given the criticism of being back on campus it looks like colleges are doing
2:11 pm
things let me close up with your thought now. we have an s&p in the 3300 area. where do you see it at year end and why? >> i think election day, the next 36 days maybe the market is going to do a lot of bobbing and weaving. post-election, some certainty comes back and the cash had to get deployed and the economy has got itself on a decent footing i think 35.25 which is 7 or 8% from here. that's a big move over three months >> that is a sizable move. great to have you with us. kelly. tyler, thank you so much coming up, we have more on the big market rally energy and financials leading the way right now with some big moves. energy is up 3%. moody eerks out with a new report revealing which
2:12 pm
presidential candidate could lead to bigger rebound for the economy. a u.s. judge halting a ban on tiktok. giving the chinese owned app an edge as it negotiates a deal to sell it u.s. business. we have the latest from the court documents that were just ers ched the'mu more "power lunch" next not until i'm sure. why don't you call td ameritrade for a strategy gut check? what's that? you run it by an expert, you talk about the risk and potential profit and loss. could've used that before i hired my interior decorator. voila! maybe a couple throw pillows would help. get a strategy gut check from our trade desk. ♪ but a resilient business you cacan be ready for it.re. a digital foundation from vmware helps you redefine what's possible... now. from the hospital shifting to remote patient care in just 48 hours...
2:13 pm
to the university moving hundreds of apps quickly to the cloud... or the city government going digital to keep critical services running. you are creating the future-- on the fly. and we are helping you do it. vmware. realize what's possible.
2:14 pm
welcome back moments ago the unsealed documents from the judge's decision to halt the ban on tiktok showed why the chinese
2:15 pm
owned app may have an edge it is likely to succeed in provering the president cannot regulate personal communications and the government needs more info to prover it's the app, not just china that's the security threat joining us to dig in sarah fisher is a media reporter at axios. danny, i'll start with you because i do want to delve into some of the issues that the judge raised i assume it's true about the president not having authority over personal communications which is interesting >> the international economic emergency powers act gives president's broad powers to do things or restrict economic activities in the interest of national security but it contained some very narrow carve outs and some are that you can't ban just raw information coming in or personal communication you can ban communications that come in that have something of value attached to them but not
2:16 pm
purely based communications or just information it's one of the few limitations on this federal law. this opinion was only just released it was sealed and the parties agreed to have it released it's just been released in the last few minutes we're just digesting it now. that's the judge's reasoning the federal law involved just contains some limitations. this fell within those limitations. >> sarah, it also suggested the judge said the u.s. would have to prove the app itself and not just the chinese were sort of the vulnerability or the problem here
2:17 pm
in other words, should we all expect for this to be continued to be drawn out? >> i would expect so they haven't tied a concrete reason this app is sending information to china we haven't seen any definitive proof that tiktok sends u.s. data to china. >> danny, what would you say is the next step. with the judge's ruling does it become harder for the u.s. to proceed and more likely that tiktok continues to operate as is or does this mean the u.s. could resort to different kinds of, perhaps more severe
2:18 pm
measures >> this is an injunction against the ban. it could start over fresh again which it's done in the past with imgrigs bans or executive orders and just redraft a new executive order or a new directive and take their chances with the courts the government has quite a few options here it can appeal this decision. it's only an injunction. it's a temporary fix but the court did conclude that the plaintiffs here, tiktok, are likely to prevail on the merits of the case. >> sarah, it's dom here. i want to speak in a hypothetical here. how exactly the social media industry, the landscape changes in a world where this tiktok ban, so to speak, kind of goes into play. how does everybody else fair and what changes >> a lot changes you've seen instagram come out and say this ban would be terrible for us and all social media apps what it could do is it would broadly divide the internet
2:19 pm
between china and the u.s. the u.s. always had an open and free internet. we welcomed chinese companies to invest if this ban were to go into effect, you would minimize those deals and the ability for u.s. consumers to experience new products yes, tiktok is owned by a chinese company but 100 million americans use it it could be a stark divide moving forward for the internet, dom. how oracle and walmart will say we'll own 20% of a company called tiktok global and bite dance can say we're going to own 80% and oracle can say bite dance will have no ownership stake in this new entity
2:20 pm
i do not understand the question of control of what ever company emerges to try and save tiktok's operating ability in the united states i don't get it >> that's been heavily contested. that's part of the issue leading up to this november 12th deadline which would have further restrictions on the app. tiktok's new bidders oracle and walmart aren't going it alone. there's some private equity firms that will go in on the deal i think this is the major discrepancy holding up a lot of this process china does not want to allow u.s. companies to own this thing. obviously donald trump says the ban on the app will go into play if the the u.s. companies don't own it i think the confusion you're speaking to is due to the fact we vice presidenhaven't negotia. the deadline is coming there's a few more weeks until the november 12th deadline >> thank you both for now. we'll leave it there
2:21 pm
sarah and danny with the latest. kelly, still ahead on show, a first look at president trump's tax returns. putting a stunning $73 million tax refund and an audit by the irs in the spotlight we have the details on those stories coming up. talk about a moon shot shares of virgin galactic are soaring. two more analysts on wall street say you have to buy this stock do traders agree we'll find out after this break. that's what my dad does. good job, michael! ok, lindsey now tell the class what your mommy does... my mom has super powers. it's like she can see the future. what?! it's like she time travels in a rocket ship. that's cool! and then she comes back saying "try this" or "try that." she helps everyone. she helps them feel less worried. wow! mommy, so what is it that you do? i'm a financial advisor. she is! aig proudly supports all the professionals taking care of our financial futures.

2:35 pm
is business losses offsetting his income the president earned over $600 million in income after 2005 most of that from his star turn on the apprentice which earned him over $400 million during that time. he used that cash along with a lot of borrowing to buy a number of golf clubs and lease the washington, d.c. hotel those investments generated tax losses of hundreds of millions o of dollars which helped to raise his tax bill doral losing $162 million through 2018 and the washington hotel losing 56 million. one bright spot here is his club in palm beach paid the president $26 million before 2018. that is three times his previous pay. president today calling the story fake newsand saying he paid many millions in taxes but was entitled to tax credits.
2:36 pm
that's common in the reality industry what the times says he has $421 million in personally guaranteed debt, the president saying i have very little debt compared to the value of his assets back to you. >> robert, i've heard a number of arguments on this front i would just point out that a business school professor at a noted top business school wrote in saying there's a 1935 supreme court ruling that gregory versus helverling the legal right to decrease or avoid them by means which the law permits cannot be doubted. is the president being chided for doing something that was his legal right to do? >> the basic strategy of using business losses to offset income is widely used among owners of private companies and wealthy taxpayers. that's undeniablundeniable the question is whether he did
2:37 pm
anything that violates the tax code which is why he has been under audit for this huge deduction that he took in 2008, 2009 that he got back from the government of $78 million in the past few years the questions around that rebate that he got from the government and the use of that, that's going to be the result of this audit and only then will we know whether what he did was proper the basic strategy, you're right, it's quite common >> all right robert frank with the latest on the trump taxes. thank you for that tyler, over the you. >> thank you it's been about six months since the start of the pandemic. while early stock market losses have been reversed, the economy is still trying to recover and get on firm footing. 35 days away now from the presidential election. recent report by moody's analytics chief economist says a biden win would be better for the economy and could bring as many as 7.4 million jobs, more
2:38 pm
jobs than a trump win would. joining us now to discuss those findings is mark welcome to the show. you were an add visor to john mccain, a gop guy. >> indeed. >> let's get to what you did and why you came to the conclusions you did. what were the various scenarios you looked at and why did you end upcoming to the conclusion that a biden win along with a democratic sweep of the house and senate would be the best outcome for the economy. >> we looked at four different political election outcomes. biden wins, congress split, sna senate remains republican. trump wins, kind of the sta ktu
2:39 pm
quo. biden wins with the congress being democratic trump wins with the congress being republican if you take the two bookends, the democratic sweep and the republican sweep, that's where we get to a very different kind of economy at the end of the next president's term. that's the 7.4 million jobs. just in a nutshell and you can read the report, it's online you take a look. it's there in detail with the assumptions that three things drive that result. one is biden has a much more expansion nar fiscal policy. that's lots of spending on infrastructure, on health care, education, housing, other social programs he raise taxes on upper income and households and corporations help pay for it but he also boar r -- borrows money to do it
2:40 pm
he wouldn't pursue trump's trade war. he has been talking about rejoining an adjusted transpacific partnership that's the trade deal between the u.s. that excludes china because they don't play fair finally, immigration policy. very different president trump has been very restrictive on both legal and illegal immigration. biden would normalize that and that would lead to bigger labor force growth and more importantly in the long run, stronger productivity growth because immigrants tend to be risk takers. they innovate. i can go on but that's in a nutshell the difference between the two scenarios. >> it boils down to a biden and a democratic sweep being more prone to stimulate the economy you raise the question of biden's plan to raise taxes on the wealthy, to raise the corporate tax rate back to 28% what kind of non-stimlative
2:41 pm
effect would that have on the economy? would it low the economy or would it really just slow the stock market >> you say i'm going to raise taxes, on that will be negative. you got to take that into context of the broader play. he's using the money to help pay for the other things that he plans to do. even under biden, when he's out spending that money and helping the economy, the stock market still doesn't really go that far and doesn't go anywhere because it has to contend with higher marginal rates on corporations
2:42 pm
for stock investors, the biden plan isn't going to land you in a better place it lands you in the same place in the long run. >> right >> just google my name you'll go right to one of my sites. >> okay. that's how to get there. what happens to dhar powe s ts n a trump second term. do either fail to renominate him? do both renominate him >> that's another big difference biden is much more traditional we do our work in the fed.
2:43 pm
we're not trying to influence each other obviously president trump has take an different perspective on that he's work really hard to gain control over the fed through his various appointments very different approach. >> interesting mark, always good to see you thank you for your help. we appreciate it >> sure. thanks for having me kelly. thank you very much. deals at alibaba's investor day. we'll talk about both of them. we're back in coa uple with much more "power lunch.
