tv   MONEY With Melissa Francis  FOX Business  November 5, 2013 5:00pm-6:01pm EST

5:00 pm
electric car-maker shares down 10% in after-hours trading following its third quarter earnings report. investors were hoping for a bigger beat. adam: all right, melissa francis is standing by and you're going to watch her with "money." melissa: we'll get everything you know about smartphones. what if you could have a cool phone with a screen that folded up just like this? how cool would that be? well you can. we'll show you right now. melissa: the incredible bendable phone and could be in your hands sooner than we think. we've seen smartphone makers release curb phones over past few weeks. that is nothing compared to the completely flexible technology. how long until you're folding up your smartphone, and putting it in your pocket? here now are tech experts, eric
5:01 pm
and pete. changes for joining us. now the mystery is solved. we were saying to ourselves last week, two companies are raising out with curved phones and you have to ask yourself, why? who needs a curved phone? that may not be what they are really after, right? >> it may be kind of a moment about trying to differentiate a little bit. there is this dual motivation here with trying to pack more pixels and more information into a small, pocket-friendly, purse heavy friendly package. one way to make the screen bigger without making it bigger. melissa: do you agree with that? >> yeah, although i think curved screens are stepping stone toward fully bendable gadgets. they do have some benefits. melissa: like what? maybe if curved holding to your face more easily, but other than that why do you care it being more curved. >> lg tout that is. melissa: do you buy it? >> no because people don't use it as a phone that much anymore. i think benefit is more visual.
5:02 pm
less reflect tivity on screens curved and colors pop better and get better picture. melissa: patent filing by samsung looks like a device that looks like a tablet computer with a screen that folds in half. if you have the ipad, fold it in half, i could fit it in smaller purse. all kinds of things like that. how far away are we from that. >> that is definite application. can you also make the electronicses fold along wit. melissa: what is the answer? >> that is a few years ought too. they're getting smaller absolutely. moore's law and path will continue on but you have to make the electronics foldable and flexible along with the display. melissa: talk about how you get there. start with the screen. in order for the screen to fold and bend and not rigid thing we're familiar with, it has to be plastic and endure more intense heat? >> has to hold up to the heat. have to get all the electronicses cooled. do things with polymers and ipads and polymer sensor
5:03 pm
technologies. things are getting thinner with the new ipad air. there is no polymer technology that could lead the way but you have to embed the electronics in it. melissa: pete is the next big thing? is this war we're heading? is this not the direction? would it not shatter. one of the big problems with the glass screen, everybody drops their iphone, ipad, and their everything else the screen cracks. >> next medium-sized thing. melissa: that is only medium, bending your phone in half and jamming it in your pocket is medium? >> i question how much benefit there is. even if there is, for example, if you had a pencil-sized device you could roll out the screen that would be amazing, that brings wit the issue of durability. what if this thing were scrunched-up by your kid or fold ited over too far and what happens at the seam if you told it over 180 degrees like piece of paper. melissa: right. >> would it still retain the perfect image if you folded it out again. that is the big question.
5:04 pm
melissa: what is your guess on those things. >> probably not so much. as they perfected technology it is inevitable in the far future. what is more interesting going on with smartphones, what apple is doing with 64 bit processing and fingerprint readers is far more -- melissa: nobody case about that. that is not as exciting as phone that could bend and move. some people say it could be be within the year. >> sound to me for all the reasons you talked about before. you bring up interesting thing about rigidity. you could have it in the ipad and could survive drops. that flexibility has a lot of side benefits. melissa: scratches. another huge issue this is one of the other big things came out somebody coming out with a scratch resistant technology, lg. the new self-healing phone that promises to remove scratches like wolverine. heals itself. do you believe that. >> sound like a lot of work with polymer technology. not lot of people give credit to people doing work in materials science on this stuff.
5:05 pm
melissa: yeah. >> not just chips and electronics but it is the materials. it is the chemistry. melissa: that's a huge deal for me it is the first thing that happens the screen gets scratched. affects the picture. totally irritating. makes you feel like the phone is not that great. at the same time makes you upgrade. if you have a screen that heals itself i don't know. >> durability and improves lifetime. melissa: lifetime is no good. you don't want phones to have a long life if you're planning on selling them in manufacturing. planned obsolescence. >> healing from a scratch is one thing. if it heals after i put it in the swimming pool or washing machine that would be much more practical measure. melissa: maybe that's next. also there is patent out there for a company developing a wearable device for the head that can play music and take phone calls while singhed with a smartphone -- sinked with. what do you think about that, wearable, bendable device for the head, can play music and take phone calls? >> part after long-term trend migrating from a handheld device
5:06 pm
to something always on you, persistent, go everywhere, with you constantly computing. melissa: so it is end of, what i see when i walk around this building and walk around the streets, everybody is holding their phone in front of them, typing and looking at it and holding this rigid device in their hand. you're saying we're going away from that? have it on the hand or wrist. >> would just add, exactly the benefits of bendable screens are actually going to be i think fully realized in wearable technology like thing you said on your head. apply it to certain types of clothing or example, no one wants to walk around with a tv on their jacket but you know you could have indicators on a wrist device don't consume very much power and are very flexible. melissa: sounds like it could be lighter. bendable screen. >> think about it, for the screen if you getronics small enough which is possible, if you wrap it around your arm and disappear not using it and have it appear when a phone call comes in.

5:10 pm
melissa: when comes to work on wall street some are wondering is it even worth it? d.c. bonuses always been of course the biggest draw. those aren't looking so money these days. enormous government fines are taking a toll. "new york post" false overall bonuses are falling as much as 20%. food news for the -- not good news for potential fat cats. we have the author of buy side, exposes wall street excesses. excellent book there. money guru and fox news contributor scott martin as
5:11 pm
well. this is time of the year. everybody starts obsessing about it. bonus time, calculating. to have one of the first headlines come out to say down 20%. based on new york comptroller who would know because he is collecting tax revenue. he is saying looks profits are way down. he thinks profits for big banks this year will be 15 billion, versus 24 billion last year. it will cut into bonus, right? >> probably. we still have the fourth quarter you know, but obviously everyone is looking at fixed income because of quantity quantity, just everyone. melissa: what is that like, bonuses down 20%? if you're a trader and you're wrapped up in that lifestyle? >> most of the people that i still talk to have ad justed their expectation as little bit. still the best game in town. if you're five foot 10 and can't shoot a jump shot and can't run a 4.440, still one. getter games in town. melissa: scott, is still that
5:12 pm
the case. >> i don't know i'm 6'2", and can't shoot a jump shot. i don't know what we do about that. most attorneys are right. i think adjustment has been made. this is something that just happened yesterday. this has been going on really since the quote, unquote economic recovery started. that is the other issue. the banks have been vilified the whole time. they have been in the regulatory cross-hairs that it is just now coming out by the way you shouldn't work there. reality is this. he is correct still a great job to have but maybe different than the job there five, 10 years ago. melissa: on comparative basis, we're talking about a lot of money. average salary according to the new york comptroller, bonus, $360,000. $360,700. i can barely say it base it is so much money. at the same time though, like you said this is going on year after year after year. when you talk to traders on wall street, bankers on wall street, they haven't gotten bonus they were expecting since 2007. so it is 20% below an already
5:13 pm
low base. are they expected to work less? are they still spending all of their time there, all their weekends, constantly on call? at some point it is not worth it anymore? at what point is it not worth it anymore? >> there comes a point, when you say to yourself, is this worth it? and you know, when i was in my late 20s, i was at a firm called the galleon group. it was a rough place to work but i said you can say whatever you want to me. you can do whatever you want to me if you're going to pay me enough. melissa: what is enough? i think we're getting close to the point where enough, if you look at types of business, there is no volatility in the market right now. >> right. melissa: if you're a beta trader, you did not make a lot of money this year. that is what the bonus is based on. all the extra excesses you wrote about in great detail in the book, a lot of those have gone away. clamped down on the strip clubs. free cocaine, everything else you might be able to get. that's gone. >> right. melissa: all of sudden, compensation is lot lower than
5:14 pm
it was used to be. is the work, that much less too? >> no. melissa: no. >> it has gotten so much more competitive. melissa: yes. >> when i was there in late '90s and 2000s, over 50% of the people on wall street were there just for the money. all of sudden a new generation of kids who followed the market in high school and actually love wall street and love finance came into the market. melissa: love wall street. >> said i will do it for half the price. melissa: scott, do you see that, i'll do it for half the price? i know a lost investment bankers have gotten pretty bitter and disappointed at this point and said, boy i spent a lot of time away from my family. i moved all over the place. i went to london and back. i expected to hit my number now and don't look like it will happen anytime soon. seniors at banks not getting what they thought. are we on the verge of an exodus? >> i think people you're speaking about melissa, maybe caught a bad part of the cycle to be honest with you.
5:15 pm
the truth is, i would argue some. stuff went on in the, in the early 2000s, whether it was the free cocaine or the strip clubs or whatever people did, was probably unsustainable. you know what i mean? that stuff had to go away. now it is probably washed out too much but, something he said is right as well, which is the job isn't that great when you start out doing it, whether investment banking, hedge fund trading. certainly not like being on the miami dolphins football team but it is not a lot of fun. that is something too you have to kind of cut through that think ends up weeding out those who are dedicated and those who aren't. melissa: those that are really smart. a lot of kids from top institutions would automatically come to wall street and work for goldman. they're not doing that any longer. they're going to california. they're going to tech startups the money is online and internet, in your own business and in your own thing. there is a sea change on wall street. you can feel it. tell me i'm wrong. >> no. you're definitely right. the fat has been cut and weeded
5:16 pm
there are either sort of grandfathered into what it used to be like and what other wave are they going to ride right now. i'm 44 years old. i left wall street, what skillset do i have? you know what i mean? melissa: scott, do you have another skillset if this whole thing false apart? what about you? are you going to be tv anchor. you are pretty good on tv. >> thanks. i get a lot of practice in front of a mirror. i can hit fastballs. that is it. melissa, the point is, the government as well teamed up with a lost big banks and brokerages, collectively that looked like wall street with a few companies. these firms, melissa, weren't careful who they got in bed with, look what happened after they got bailed out. now they have been vilified and taken down. melissa: absolutely. you guys are both money. thank you so much. >> thank you. melissa: up next, there may be a little agreement over the obamacare debate. both sides say it won't work if

melissa: the young and insuranceless? obamacare is playing out just the way we thought. but insurers are noticing early buyers of health coverage on the nation's new plan are older than expected. isn't that exactly what critics have been saying was going to happen all along? charlie park is the founder of the youth movement, turning
5:21 pm
point usa. catherine temp is from campus rye for. matt welch from reason.com. thanks for joining us. charlie, let me start with you. have you shopped for a plan? what are you doing? >> i have luxury staying on my parents plan for a couple years. i see all across the country, colleagues and friends of mine, 26, 27, 2forced on exchanges and they voted for obama enthusiastically. getting somebody to vote for something and get them to sign up and pay money are two different things, they're saying why should i pay more for the health insurance. count me out until somebody makes me pay or pay the fine. exactly what people have been saying for last two years in critique of the bill. you will supreme premiums skyrocket especially for young people. melissa: numbers out from "the wall street journal" preliminarily. 40% of the people signed up over 50 a 5. they said 24% were under 34. i'm surprised the number is even that large. of the catherine, have you shopped online for insurance. have you bought any?
5:22 pm
>> no, i have not. working at leadership institute campus reform, talking to a lot of young people they're not signing up either. a lot are angry when the president switched from saying if you like your plan to can keep it, just kidding no you can't, a lot of plans were outlawed are the cheap bear bones plans that make the most sense for young people like me. for example, community colleges in new jersey used to offer plans to students. now they can't offer them anymore. even students who can afford obamacare there trying to go on to the website, oops, just kidding that doesn't work either. so myself and a lot of other young people are really frustrated, really almost offended the president is expecting us to pay for all this, when you know youth unemployment is so high and we're least able to do so. melissa: matt, you see in the media everywhere, mainstream media or anyone else saying young people are not out there buying insurance. we want to bring actual people on to ask them what they have been doing. do you think this represents the larger phenomenon and what does it mean?
5:23 pm
if nobody, if nobody signs up, who is young and healthy, who pays for all of these very expensive people who have, i mean i was reading a story about somebody with cancer treatment. he spends about $6,000 a month out-of-pocket on treatment. you know, went online for hours and hours and hours in a row to sign up because obviously they're unemployed. they desperately need insurance. those people are getting on. so who will pay for that? >> well, that is attacks payers are going to pay for it is the short answer to it. obamacare is predicated on the notion there will be wealth transfer from younger people to from older people. young people healthy don't need insurance will spend money on that money will allow insurance rates over all to not be that high. that is the theory. if you asked a obamacare rollout officials in may and june of this year what does failure look like, and they put it pretty simply.
5:24 pm
failure looks like the first day that is rolled out, website down work and young people don't show up. that is exactly what happened. why would you show up? people who signed up right now are people absolutely postively need health care that doesn't describe your average 27-year-old, 28-year-old, 22-year-old at all. it is older people who need health insurance. they're the ones who can -- melissa: at end of the day as we say on the show it is always about money. so people who go to the website are sitting there and making a very basic calculation we knew. if somebody like you, charlie, you're saying to yourself, well let's see, i spent almost nothing on health care last year. now out-of-pocket even if i didn't have insurance. now i look what this plan is going to charge me, i will spend $3,000 a year on. this is money i don't have. why would i spend to have $3,000 a plan or just take the penalty. it is simple math, right? is that how you calculator is there more to it? >> absolutely. the i know other colleagues. great irony of the law, we're starting to see it rollout.
5:25 pm
they can't find work or earn very much money. getting enrolled in medicaid. not only in the system, they will be in the cart that will bring down the system, we want our young, 27, 28, 29, 30-year-olds on medicaid system increasing dependence on the government? this is one of the great ironies of the law. young people are supposed to be the ones supporting it but they will be ones at the demise of it. melissa: do you feel a ethical obligation to sign up to participate in the wealth transif he were of supporting people older than you? or is it a simple financial decision where you look at the outlay over the course of the year and what you would actually have to pay to a doctor and make the decision based on that? which is it for you? >> i feel it is, it doesn't make financial sense for me to sign up and i also feel a moral and ethicalobligation not to sign up. a lot of young people feel the same way. obama tried to market himself as buddy with young people. look how close i am with jay-z.
5:26 pm
wait a minute i thought i saw you on jimmy fallon during the election, slow jamming news and student loans how you will help me out. here you are expecting me to pay for health insurance for people who are older than i am, sicker than i am, most importantly more able to pay for it themselves. 83% of elderly people own their own home. 36% of millenials still live under their parents roof, you no he. melissa: yeah. >> it is very offensive to young people such as myself. melissa: boy, angry people here. matt, how will it play out in the end? what is the logical conclusion? how do we get out of this? we all see the mess but hard to see how it end? >> unfortunately we have the concept called death spiral. this is what happens when healthy people don't sign up to the new insurance scheme. that means the sicker people do. they cost more money. insurance rates then go up more so the young people are further disincentivized from signing up to your insurance scheme. this is kind of spiral of price that is look very, very bad. the only bailout available for
5:27 pm
all of that is taxpayers. and government at large. so that is the way it looks until we get to a position where we can repeal, replace, delay or do something else. melissa: guys, thanks to all of you. >> thank you. melissa: up next, legalized doobie dealers are hoping to cash in on cannabis. is it a top business model or pot proponents are blowing smoke? more importantly, would you smoke it if you could? tweet me. tell me the truth. our pot panel is ready to light up the set. who makes money today. he makes a living "designing women"'s dreams. his world is not looking a whole lot prettier. not sure it is. watch to find out.
