tv MONEY With Melissa Francis FOX Business May 7, 2014 2:00pm-3:01pm EDT
2:00 pm
economic outlook. it wasn't always good news. the one sector that still keeps her up at night we'll tell you about it. twitter is getting absolutely crushed again today. this could be just a beginning. new plus station from twitter, insiders want the to sell when the lockup expired but couldn't. maximizing the minimum wage. as if 10.10 an hour, now there is push to hike it more than three times the national average. what a great idea! ben bernanke tell-all. the former fed chair juicy new tomm but plus our suggestions for the title. even when they say it's not it is always about money. dierdre: melissa: ought of the grate we have breaking news. charlie gasparino on details on new york attorney general probe on high frequency trading.
2:01 pm
>> i don't know if this is good news or bad news but i will lay it out there. sources tell us that the new york ag is not looking in this enforcement action in this hft prone. he is looking for structural changes in the hft business. what he is looking to change is out there already. early read on thomson reuters, he wants to end that he is looking to moderate the speed advantage. that is is key. that will prevent, my view, this is my opinion now, at least make it very difficult for virtu, the high frequency trading firm owned by vincent viola, former head of new york mercantile exchange, make it difficult for virtu to come public if you erase that nanosecond speed if that is what schneiderman wants. this investigation is in early stages. never say will be not be an encoresment action in early stages. right now he is not focusing on enforcement action but looking for structural change for the
2:02 pm
business that could hurt firms wanting to go public in this trading business. melissa: awesome, charlie, thank you. a few former employees of twitter have not been able to unload their shares. we have charlie there and monica mate at that, and james freeman from "the wall street journal" this is outrageous. the lockup expires, big guns get or cash out and quotes from people posting them online. i'm on hold, hopefully someone picks up before the market something expletive closes. former twitter engineer. the quotes are everywhere. folks are furious that they couldn't sell. are you outraged, james? >> no, i'm not outraged. melissa: why? that is not fair! >> technical glitch preventing sales. you understand when you sell to the public markets people want to know that all insiders are not bailing when they come in. so i think those are legit. you have to remember, witter and some of these companies that came public, very small float. very small percentage much company was put out there.
2:03 pm
it will have volatility when lockup periods end. >> these people say they can't sell the stock? melissa: right. according to schwab, hold put in place on exercising options. they do in the expect it will lift on the afternoon. this is the hold twitter placed. engineers going online, lockup was supposed to expire but they were being prevented from selling while top guns were obviously selling because it was tanking. monica. >> well the stock has been in free fall for a week now, mostly because of the earnings report where you saw they're just not signing up users with the growth they had seen in the past. if it is already in free fall and now this lockup is expiring they clearly have to do something to have a measured selling process. melissa: charlie gasparino, i don't like it either. i'm with you. that is not right. >> schwab is arbitrarily stopping this thing? first off, i don't know if that is legal. that sound bizarre. i hate twitter to begin with. melissa: well you hate it as a business. you love it as means of communication. >> right. i think it's a crappy business. here's the thing.
2:04 pm
i just can't wait until it goes below 26. that is when eric bolling -- melissa: goodness gracious, taking it right -- alibaba officially files for its ipo. this could be the biggest ipo ever. you like it, you hate i, what do you think guys? >> i'm indifferent to it. i think it. melissa: i like the fact that china's becoming much more of a free market than the united states. that is a good thing i think. melissa: yeah. >> it will be interesting to see who they pick as the exchange they list on. my gut tells me -- melissa: what is your gut? >> all bankers want them to pick new york stock exchange. but i can tell you bob greifeld is pulling every rabbit out of his you know what to try -- melissa: his hat? pulling rabbits out of his hat? >> nasdaq has in its corner, apparently you can not buy, if you're in china, you can't buy, a chinese investor you can not buy alley ab ba if it trades on the new york stock exchange or nasdaq but nasdaq has a deal with the shanghai exchange where you can get alibaba through some
2:05 pm
index fund. so theoretically -- melissa: not with the nyse? >> if nasdaq wins the deal. melissa: monica, would you invest? >> all depends on the valuation. this is interesting company with 80% market share for chinese e-commerce. at same token it has lack of transparency and has sketchy chinese accounting. melissa: james? >> they're not putting out a whole lot of detail how their businesses are doing. it is obviously a big company and growing big market but if you want to look at each of their web platforms are doing they're not sharing a whole lot of data. you would think given recent scandals of chinese company accounting they would want to go further towards transparency. maybe there is so much excitement and hype. i would be careful. >> you would think they wouldn't want to disclose that. melissa: i know. another big one, janet yellen on the hill today, fed chair. she was optimistic about the economy overall exempt for one minor hiccup. >> one cautionary note though is that readings on housing
2:06 pm
activity a sector that has been recovering since 2011, remain disappointing so far this year and will bear watching. melissa: hmmm. what do you think? disappointing housing. >> i'm disappointed she like so many other people in washington still looks as housing as a barometer of our economic health. melissa: why? >> it's a by-product. it is not cause of vibrant economy. this is how we got the housing crisis. central bankers and politicians think you need housing to become rich. we become rich by creating things and then we buy rich houses. >> some people have net worth locked up in housing. if housing doesn't recover, that is one of the reasons you have this growing inequality disparity -- >> if we're not creating valuable things to sell to the world you will not have a sustained recovery. >> i'm with you. let's get down to practicality. people in this country have net worth tied to housing. >> one does not have to preclude
2:07 pm
the other. >> agreed. >> to your point, last two years, you have really low rates. people are snatching up par gains. all those are gone now. at same token, people are not refinancing. comes back to the regular churn i need a bigger house, i have kids and they are not selling. >> maybe because the economy really does suck. melissa: there is that possibility as well. >> did you ever think of that? melissa: ben bernanke, did you hear about this, inking a book deal about the economic crisis. so far, no title. we have some humble suggestions. what were you thinking, charlie. >> like what i saw at the socialist revolution. melissa: that's nice. >> subtle. >> then i was thinking i'm sorry he caused it. he helped cause it. melissa: there are a lot of people who think he saved the universe. lou dobbs thinks he saved the world. >> lou done can have his opinion. ben bernanke was asleep at switch when this stuff started happening, in 2007, he was
2:08 pm
sleeping on top of the switch with a little pillow. >> he was in jackson hole in late 2000, do we have a credit crisis. melissa: what do you think? >> quantitative pleasing. melissa: lie i can that. quantitative pleasing. very nice. >> i think that is our winner. melissa: haven't heard mine yet. >> excuse me. i said making money because he is doing a lot of it. melissa: a little boring, james. >> it is boring. melissa: i'm a little bit -- >> helicopter pilot but that -- melissa: that is very nice. >> no one would get that. melissa: i like burn book. like burn book from "mean girls," right? but it is bern. i think charlie didn't see the movie. so he doesn't get it. no, okay? there you go. according to new report, apple is gearing up for enormous iphone push this week. they're flooding the market. they want to get them out there. what is behind this? other than obviously wanting to drum up money but why are they so focused on pushing this model out the door?
2:09 pm
is there a new one coming? >> i would say, one great thing about the technology industry is that they're constantly creating new products and you have a window where you have to move this thing out the door he have about the next generation makes it obsolete and that is sort of what they're facing now. melissa: yeah. >> that is the part of the economy that really works and is important and i wish central bankers would focus on. >> i think they're also trying to blow out old inventory which may be a sign they aren't managing inventory as they have in the past. that is another way to be concerheir operation. >> well, i'll give you a 30,000 feet observation i think tim cook is under some pressure to innovate and get new products out. we've been talking about this for a while. melissa: forever. >> the last year. the board, clearly don't put him in the same category as steve jobs which to one else is. he needs to show his chops as an innovator. that is what this is all about. a "wall street journal" reporter on apple basically said a lot of stuff we've been reporting, there is issues involving cook in terms of, listen, brilliant guy, brilliant manager but does
2:10 pm
he have the chops to innovate and think big? i think that is what we're hearing a little bit. melissa: thanks to all three of you. who wants to be a trillionaire? i know i do. we're running down the top contenders undoubtedly will be forbes next countdown list, the trillionaires. new push for $26 minimum wage? have you heard about this? this is not a joke. $26 an hour, the wage rage is getting out of hand. we're bringing the pain, charles and erica, they will face off next. more "money" next. ♪ when does your work en does it end after you've expanded your business? after your company's gone public? and the capital's been invested?

2:14 pm
payne and our very own charles payne. erica, is this a brilliant idea, $26 an hour. >> what is brilliant idea try to get people helping companies earn the money to get more of the profits. right now we have a situation where fast-food ceos make 1200 times more than their employees. we have a situation where 50% of fast-food workers are on public assistance, so the taxpayer are subsidizing their low wages. we need to move away from that situation. melissa: charles, i have so much to say about so much of that but i will let charles go instead. go ahead, charles. >> i'm glad you picked on fast-food industry, one industry with extraordinarily low profit margins to begin with. essentially what you're flying to say, for the most part, put themselves, might have found themselves in this position that corporate america owes them a certain amount of money and i you know, you're doing a couple things here. first of all you're rewarding meet okay critty. you're encouraging people not to become the best they can be. ironic in california of all

2:16 pm
people to support themselves. i mean what we have now is 50% of the fast-food workers are on public assistance. so the taxpayers are subsidizing these very low wages. then we have the folks working full time while they're getting hammered from people on the right saying, you know, you're living off the government dole and all this they're working 40 hours. they're doing what they can do. they're trying to raise kids and can't make end meet. and -- melissa: congressional budget office would said if minimum wage went up would need even more on the dole. >> first of all what the congressional budget office said there was october we would lose half a million jobs. melissa: right. >> but also said is that 16 million people would get a raise. so when i compare the good for 16 million people, and the bad for 500,000 people i'm going to pick the good for 16 million people. melissa: i would love to bring you somebody who gets laid off as a result of that and see how their family likes that idea. >> i would of lo to see people they live with, who have gotten a raise. this is the thing we've got to

2:18 pm
nonsense charles. you think fairness is nonsense, really. >> the notion somehow, someone who is in a position, everyone that, is making minimum wage, they didn't do anything. it is not their fault. you know what? i know plenty of guys who -- [both talking at once] melissa: we're out of control. >> not a nickel. you don't get any of it. melissa: erica payne. >> unbelievable charles. melissa: we're letting this one go. disney hit "frozen" giving the company plenty of bang for the buck. plus, getting ready for the red planet. some authorities think a move to mars? is becoming a necessity. it is starting to look like a scene from ""tron"." -- "tron." do you have have too much money?
