11:01 am
♪ dagen: i was surprised to find out the knee is the best-selling tablet. connell: the issues price and has always been. we will charge more than anybody else and can they keep doing that? did make the issue is whether the large ipad or the minivans the pillsbury doughboy and fall for the larger ipad. date -- just being helpful. dagen: stocks held higher by the jobs report. the unemployment rate did fall but it is what they will do, nicole petallides at stock exchange. nicole: good morning. we are looking at a market that is up 63 points, 16,456 as we got in the monthly jobs report.
11:02 am
is true. we look to the fed and the fed less likely to begin capering and we will see janet yellen coming on board weather they do it at all. we are seeing markets with an up arrow, the dallas up 1/2%, looks like the s&p 500, the ticket in nasdaq squeezing a gain of 2%, shares of delta hitting new highss after a strong earnings report doing well with quarterly profits, increasing to help the long, not only at home in the u.s. but in europe and had helped boost revenue and u.s. seeing stock up 40 and hitting a new high today. dagen: we talk every day about these glitches that plagued the obamacare exchanges, some questioning of the individual mandate requiring americans to purchase health insurance may be facing a delayed. the mac has the white house ruled out a delay? rich edson can tell us. he is live with more.
11:03 am
>> we have a delayed. if you can sign up for health care as been delayed. the white house implied in a way that if you don't have access to health care and signing up that perhaps you wouldn't be subject to that fine but we are waiting for more on the administration, they still say it is early and we wonder if administratively they're going to delay the individual mandate. bad news for health care providers, hospitals want more paying customers, health insurers want more customers and if you don't have that individual mandate to get younger, healthier people picking those premiums one analyst says that unravel the loss. >> they want to get robust risk pool, they want to get everybody to sign of, they need young healthy people, the premiums spike more dramatically the following year. delaying the mandate is a problem that sends a signal that to people who might not be inclined to sign up for coverage they don't need to borrow this
11:04 am
year. >> the administration delayed the employer mandate, still waiting to see if they would delay the individual mandate. there are those in congress, marco rubio from florida, republican who wants to delay the individual mandate into the accountability office can certify six months after the web site is actually working and another republican senator, lamar alexander will introduce a bill requiring weekly reports on the obamacare exchanges as political pressure continues and exchanges online and not working well. dagen: real quick, before you get find you have to own insurance based on the law as an individual by the end of march next year? >> yes. there are what is known as hy cit exemptions, a dozen of them. the administration alluded to this yesterday. they would not say this but if you can't get insurance under the law if that qualifies as a hardship you can't get insurance and the won't give you a penalty and it is not enforceable would
11:05 am
come out of the penalty you have to the would come out of any tax refund you would be getting so the government won't take money from you. the mac thank you for the coverage. rich edson in washington and joining us is republican senator and fox news contributor scott brown. great to see you. we can talk about how the web site, the exchange websites were not designed properly. people knew in advance that would be problems, they were not tested properly but at the end of the day we need to look ahead and figure out how to fix them. >> we need to look behind a little bit. week the $400 million. imagine if apple or facebook or google send out a program for this to their public. it would put them out of ways -- put an out of business. dagen: apple launched that max program which was then a disaster and a rare lambasted and certainly vostok suffered
11:06 am
and are suppose the administration is suffering in a different way. >> suffering and rightly so. the federal government is too big to get out of its own way sometimes. you have people who knew and should have conveyed up the chain of command to the president and staffs saying this isn't ready. we need to delay, it would have saved a lot of embarrassment so they knew they could of full blood and said we're going to delay a month and actually fixed it but the question is how much it will cost to fix it. the individual mandate issue, we all know it is a mess. we know people like getting termination notices for their present health care. i voted against it three four times. not good for massachusetts, very few benefits for the rest of the country and not sure when the president and his team will say we need to step back and reevaluate and fix the things that are wrong. dagen: do you believe the individual mandate will be delayed?
11:07 am
the employer mandate already pushed off and many calls, if you're going to do for companies you do for individuals and do you think that is now in the cards? >> it has to be. you can't even sign up properly. it is ms, it is embarrassing not only for the administration but frustrating for individuals especially young people who sometimes like to get in and do their thing and move along. they moved on and on to the next project. it is a problem. we know all of the special things that people in unions and other groups of gotten, we know about the delay in the employer mandate and it should be delayed and we need to reevaluate and move forward and find ways to sell these problems together. dagen: scott brown, good to see you, thank you so much. is not going away, you are welcome back anytime. connell: 148,000 jobs added in
11:08 am
september. a report came out this morning, could have been delayed by the shutdown. it was short by wall street expectations. the expectation was 180,000. ahead of this many economists are saying of the fed needs to see an average of $170,000 a month to begin thinking about stopping the money flow into the economy and right now after the labor department report that barkley's pushed back expectations for taser during as it is known to march of next year so that number, maybe it is even higher. some would say it is up by 200. fred lane is vice-chairman of investment banking at raymond james launching a market which we will talk about in a moment showing us from boston so good to see you. what do you make of the jobs report this morning? what is the message view in this that you took away from it in terms of when the fed moves janet yellen coming in and everything else? >> there are no surprises, i don't think -- we are hearing
11:09 am
all the great news, quote, but we have are very high unemployment figure by any standard and i think there are lots of reasons for that and they're dragging our economy and m&a activity and the only reason there got dragging equity markets is quite candidly the equity markets are driven by other structural factors. where else do you put your money but u.s. equities? by historical standards, we're not ridiculously overvalued. no surprise in the jobs market, i wish to there were. i wish to was more positive, we have a lot of positive news to report. connell: is inevitable that scenario or this situation we have continues or is there something that might change it? let's take your area of expertise, mergers and acquisitions. will more companies, low-interest rate for the foreseeable future, what is the outlook for m&a activity? >> all right world, has to pull
11:10 am
back and let the private sector do its thing is. when we look at the conversation in washington it is pretty divisive. democrats talking about we need to maintain transfer payments and maintain food stamp program and all the rest of it and by the way that is a plus to gdp. republicans don't like to hear that. republicans like the let's lower taxes and all the evidence suggests that drives job growth and by the way lowering taxes held gdp. both sides of the aisle are arguing ideology at the expense of the american people. connell: are articulating compromise. does the factor look like that will happen? tangible effect in your view and business in terms of companies talking to each other, getting to better with just a lot of noise? >> the perfect form of factors to drive an m&a activity is available to us. m&a activity is trending upwards
11:11 am
but a lot of is defense of consolidation. the communications sector, mining and minerals consolidation and energy consolidations, the health-care industry will remain a growth industry nonetheless. i really believe there is a hidden demand out there for lots of m&a activity. companies have huge balance sheet cash reserves, barring rates are low by any standard, the cost of capital is low. we should have a more bourgeoning m&a market, more robust and a market and the reason we don't is because of the uncertainty around the economy and the global economy but in the united states uncertainty about how washington would get rid of its logjam and i think compromises have to be found. connell: you said it, people get so frustrated, off the top of your head you said how we could get a compromise.
11:12 am
why can't they figured out? fred lane, raymond james, thank you very much. dagen: we are going to look at the top cities in the world for the number of big businesses that are headquartered there. which ones are in the united states? connell: we will find out coming. some hints may be. a big winner after the government shutdown according to charles payne and charles is coming in to tell us why. dagen: the big apple announcement today, the new ipad, the new mini. is this what the company needs right now? i need a lighter. i will pay. you can save that. it's a growing trend in business:

crop farmers picking up on their second job. the farmers are moonlighting. jeff flock will tell us what they are up to. dagen: let's talk about some netflix. our own nicole petallides is on the new york stock exchange. nicole: it has been really exciting to watch netflix. this stock is up over 300% this year. right now, the stock is lower. that is because of a recent downgrade. the good part is the stock hit a new all-time high. the numbers were great. their profit quadrupled. they have surpassed hbo and showtime subscribers.

11:32 am
>> last year, it was not the best product. the kindle comes out around $200 some change. it has better technology. the nexus seven, same thing. they make money on the product. apple stays with what is really a market changing event here. they are not structured to ride this particular ways. connell: so, there is nothing that could be announced today that closes that gap?
11:33 am
>> they could improve the quality. the problem is it will continue to be $100 or more than the competing products. they are between a rock and a hard place. if they maintain margins, they do not sell as many. they do not have an easy way out of this unless they can find a revenue source like amazon has to fund the products. adjusting to amazon's model would be incredibly painful. amazon is driving this specifically. google has kind of thrown a monkey wrench in here. connell: we had some bar graphs up. it showed that apple is still doing pretty well.
11:34 am
obviously, that includes the large ipad. how big of a problem is this ipad mini issue? is it a huge problem for the company? is it one that can be overcome? is apple in big trouble or is it just kind of a bump in the road type thing? >> apple trades not on doing well, they trade on doing incredibly well. as the iphone started to cycle out, they came out with the ipad. and then the ipad mini came out. the market did not cycle. the dominance in that particular area remained with the other vendors. that is where it showcased an apple weakness that we had not
11:35 am
seen before. they drove the market during those cycles. connell: not a comfortable position. we will see what the answers are from apple's point of view, i guess, later today. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. dagen: more on today's jobs report coming up. connell: leonardo the caprio home in time for the holidays. dagen: head of security at one point. connell: if bo dietl is and it, i am there.

up. would you be a buyer of treasuries here? >> we would not be a buyer of long dated treasuries here. i think investors need to think about where they get their duration from. this jobs report definitely throws a wrench into how the policy discussion has been going up the fed. late last year they type it to the unemployment rate. late last year they tied it to the unemployment rate has been pretty consistently perhaps they are moving towards the so-called participation gap.

now. cheryl: another concern that i found, it is the fact that you have job losses in the restaurant sector, in the financial sector. it has been a strength month after month this year. now that is falling to the wayside. >> i think that consumer spending will be pretty good. i think you see a lot of part-time employment. part-time employment went down and full-time employment went up. maybe some of those part-time workers now have full-time jobs. average household net worth is better. unemployment is better than it was a year ago. i think the consumer is in better shape now. cheryl: i want to stay on this consumer theme. i was looking at hourly
12:04 pm
earnings. it is up a little more than 2% on the year. that is still a very low level. to only have hourly earnings of 2% does not seem like a good bank. >> it is not a good thing. we have never gone this far into a recovery before and had this a little over 2%. it is just an indication that we have a lot of surplus labor sloshing around. if i could just make one more comment about what you are talking about earlier in that we had a decline in jobs and food services, earlier in the year was rather muscular. some of that may have been anticipation of enforcing of the aca.
12:05 pm
the employment mandate has now been delayed until 2015. restaurants were hiring more part-time help so that they could limit the number of hours that part-timers worked so they did not have two make the 30 hour cut off for the mandate. it does not surprise me that there is a slowdown on the hiring. cheryl: now if they could just get the exchange is up and running, we would have a better picture. are you banking on more qe? >> well, i think, with this stubborn employment number and janet yellen coming into office
12:06 pm
in january, i think we will have qe well into next year and well into 2015. cheryl: what do you mean? they will have to pull back at some point. >> i believe that they will pull back. i believe we will have bond buying throughout 2014. cheryl: they are well off of that 6.5% rate. do you think they will have to wait until about point? >> i think they will balance between the 6.5 rate. i think they will look at the strength of the entire economy. they will balance those three. cheryl: i cannot wait to see what janet yellen does.
12:07 pm
we are going to be hearing from apple. i know that you like the stock right now. i know that you own it. your family owns it. >> i think apple is in good shape going into this christmas and holiday selling season. i think they will have a new ipad. there are rumors that there may be a new big-screen tv. i think apple is set up for a very good selling season. i think the stock is cheap in a market that is very hungry right now. cheryl: thank you. >> my pleasure. cheryl: thank you very much.
12:08 pm
i will have an interview in the 3:00 p.m. eastern hour. it will be with, perez. that will be about 3:10 p.m. eastern time today. dennis: what is bugging me? obamacare. president obama is in major denial right now. he says obamacare is not just a website. think, god. the feds had three years to get this right. did they rely on help from the insurers? no. they feared leaks and subpoenas from republicans. the fed did this on their own.
12:09 pm
a sign of the arrogance of government. if we cannot get this basic starting point right, it is a clear sign it will be a debacle and a nightmare. tweet us. your comments are coming up. cheryl: october 1 was the rollout. do you think that they should have delayed it? should they have waited? dennis: given how controversial the program was, they could not dare hold it back. three years was time enough to get this right. now they have a technology surge. cheryl: lessons learned from

12:15 pm
radioshack came out with its quarterly numbers. coach, now they have posted a smaller than expected quarterly revenue. they continue to face intense competition from michael kors and kate spade. cheryl: thank you. dennis: striking new reports show that one third of the world's largest companies are based in just 20 cities around the world. these are companies that have more than $1 billion a year. paris. 168 billion. japan. 174. london takes the bronze. titans. new york, new york is number two.

different changes. here you have a robust test scripts that will go into affect. most of the firms, it is not mandatory, it is optional, if you will, but most will be testing with the twitter ipo. dennis: i love to point out that the nasdaq is not really a place for that. are humans going to make the key difference here as to why the ipo would do that? >> i think it is more of a technology issue. they have experienced dealing with a lot of big issues. twitter, by all accounts, 65 million shares. they want to raise a billion dollars. i would guess it will be $15 price range.
12:24 pm
it is big in terms of retail awareness and what social media brings to it. dennis: you were saying that there was hope that this facebook ipo would finally bring individual investors back into the market. what do you think about the twitter ipo getting individuals excited? >> i think it has the catalyst to bring retail back into the market. a single stock cannot really do that. it can serve as an opening gateway for more stocks. dennis: how much of the facebook debacle was because, oh, my gosh, i cannot make a trade and there is a glitch on the exchange?

12:32 pm
>> it is a complete debacle, it is an outrage. people on both sides of this are realizing just how bad this was in it is not about the code itself, it is about the entire process. bringing in cgi and the fleet of contractors. even in the coding community. dennis: why do you say "substandard"? >> yesterday i look at the president talking about ringing in the a team. what team did we have before? that is a reasonable question to ask. you would think with something as important as this they would think maybe can you send over the good guys? dennis: i read in one of the blogs on this, one reason the white house was reluctant to bring in good e-commerce guys, people who have done this before, they did not want leaks, the did not want republicans to subpoena the contractors. so they stuck largely with their
12:33 pm
own in-house team creating a problem. why not hire them to do this for you? >> i have heard and navy of contractors coming in. the real issue is when you let technology driver company, you get really, really bad technology. healthcare.gov is really awful technology. you need to start with the users. check it out and see how much this would cost. by that judgment alone this is an abductive, objective failure. dennis: we need 7 million people to sign up and get on the program in the first six months because they start funding the government program. if we don't get that, there is a slide down. normally when you have to fix a glitch like this, they really have no idea how bad this problem is, they don't know when they will be able to fix it, do they? >> the answer to that is no. the people coming in right now to take a look at this are those
12:34 pm
people looking at things like user experience, open data, getting things that can actually work. this isn't rocket science. i understand it cost as much as building rockets, but it doesn't have to be rocket science. dennis: was a government arrogance to think they could reinvent the wheel and do a better job than private business? >> i don't know if it is arrogance as it is underestimating the size and complexity of what we need to get done. trying to get people information quickly and easily and help them switch it easily. something is hot but that's health care you have to provide a user experience, and i think that was overestimated. dennis: they consistently are having to rip out multimillion dollar projects that utterly failed. draw parallel between this one for government technology gone awry and the florida prison break in which a couple of murderers got out, just with falsified documents.
12:35 pm
what is the connection here? >> actually, that prison break the best part of that prison break was the way the u.s. marshals task force came in and clean things up quickly, got people into jail where they began. now they can talk policy and not tragedy, right? the problem was not about systems, it was about it. basic, asic it. the confidentiality, the way people log into that so you know the right people are getting in, integrity. we have no way of known in. the information to see this made any sense given the context of what we knew about these two murderers. dennis: we can blame stuff on technology but isn't it often the culprit the real wrong point actually humans? shouldn't a guy make a phone call to double check? >> making a phone call and
12:36 pm
double checking aside from the barack rizzi to do that for every person who gets out of prison. costing $150 per day to keep somebody in jail and prison. if you're trying to make a phone call manually, that is just a nightmare process. the way we fix this, the way be fix healthcare.gov is to open standards. dennis: sounds like the ultimate contradiction because you said have to have security, but also open data. it is hard to do all those things. >> with talk about security in terms of who is on the system, but every piece of data in jail and the court system is by definition public. trying to lock it down, look at how well that worked in florida. the navy's destroyers, on budget, all-time running analytics powered data center bringing amazon.com is open

cheryl: after a 16 day government shutdown, 72% of americans say they're holding back on spending. mentally the data from bank rate. this i thought was so interesting because it flies in the face of what many retail analysts are coming on television saying. it is a great retail season, everybody will be spending. you are sending exec opposites. are you surprised by how the spending was?
12:42 pm
>> it just all kind of comes together at one point, not only yes they are cutting back on their spending and here is why, but also the fact they feel a lot less secure in their jobs and a couple of months ago. cheryl: those that are 50 and older say their financial portfolios are worse. which surprises me when you have the dow and the s&p up double-digit for the year. >> ages 50-64, they have
12:43 pm
consistently not just this month, but consistently the lowest feelings of job security. saying the job situation has deteriorated. a lot of them are particularly susceptible to long-term unemployment and a lot of portfolios ravaged in 2008 and did not anticipate in the park e rebound because they panic and sold. this month it was across the board. there were no exceptions. that was a sharp turnaround from what we had seen as recently as september. we chalked it up to the effects of the government shutdown. cheryl: let me ask you this. obviously looked at rejected spending patterns. as we are coming into the holiday season, this is christmas, new year's, thanksgiving all combined. only 27% of those surveyed said they would be holding back spending.
12:44 pm
everyone else the most part says not only will they hold back spending, but they will be spending less than they did last year. >> a couple of things. i think what we have is more than just a holiday shopping issue in thi in the sense peoplt have a lot of extra money to shop around. we have an economy stuck in first gear. if people will spend money one time, it will be holiday shopping season. the real issue is once we get to january or february, we get this whole circus all over again with the government budget, how much is that wing on confidence, how much is that to the economy considering consumers already are treading water in being able to keep up with it? cheryl: this goes in line with the consumer sentiment data. they really are going hand-in-hand. they say it will take months to figure out what the shutdown did to the u.s. economy and gdp to

shape, the screen will remain the same 9.7 inches. better camera involved, different colors similar to what you saw with the iphone 5c. a processor upgrade, that is expected in the bigger one as well, twice as fast. operating twice as quickly as the prior model data. a lot of processing power in your hands. higher resolution display may come to the mini. different colors as well. a lot of people are looking at the ipad, the really large pink. they introduced the ipad mini for the first time and the iphone four. it has trickled down a little bit. year-over-year you did not have the new ipad up against new ipad. it is not necessarily apples to apples. but one thing to consider is
12:47 pm
these mini ipads still cost a lot despite the goods in there, they cannot charge as much as a fallen profit margin and apple competes with itself because there are older models with lower prices. that is a something i did not have to worry about a couple of years ago when they basically created this format. back to you. dennis: it is too expensive. thank you very much, robert gray. media minute time period netflix is soaring, but is he getting ahead of a self? popping up 11% after earnings tripled on 22% revenue growth. giving up the gains fallen today after a couple of downgrades from wall street analyst down 5%. but the stock is up more than fivefold in just one year. it is now valued at over 400 times annual earnings. in the past quarter, u.s. subscribers are up 4%. overseas customers up 10%. but the stock is up 46% in the
