tv   MONEY With Melissa Francis  FOX Business  July 8, 2014 2:00pm-3:01pm EDT

2:00 pm
who would you have for the quidditch cup, brazil or bulgaria. >> bulgaria is definitely a dark horse. in this story, apparently "harry potter" is 33. it will take a pretty big broom to get him around. dierdre: that is "harry potter" idea i did not v leave it to you, ashley webster. thank you very much. melissa francis. "money" starts now. melissa: absolutely. the dow cutting losses after being down nearly 150 points in the session. still holding below the 17,000 mark. walmart's ceo says, yeah, america may be adding jobs but that doesn't mean people are spending. china throwing the brakes on tesla. it cast as huge shadow over elon musk's expansion plans. hard ball. yankee fans are suing after announcers caught him napping at a game. come on! a beer startup that wants a place on your kitchen counter,
2:01 pm
even when they say it's not, it is always about money. melissa: despite a job market recovery after june's positive jobs number, walmart ceo bill simon says consumers are not much better off. they're adapting by spending less. what will it take for consumers to get enough confidence back in the game here now? fox business's own tom sullivan, "barron's" senior editor jack hough and "wall street journal" simon constable. tom, do you agree with this? >> yes, because the consumer spending has been going on has not been done by most people. it has been done by top 5%. they have the money. they're out buying things. things wear out. they go on vacations. everybody else, we all know that the middle class income is down and continues to go down. melissa: yeah. >> no, it is not the middle class and that's walmart's customers. melissa: zoom mon, why do we
2:02 pm
want people going out spending all they have? -- simon? >> 66% and 70% -- melissa: maybe that is not healthy. maybe that is how we got in the mess first place? maybe that is why we houses as piggy banks. >> highest standard of living by far than anywhere else. it will get worse. if the fed has its way, higher inflation and not wage growth, people will be strapped for cash and spend even less. >> too many of walmart's customers look like walmart workers. they are in jobs paying 8, 9 bucks an hour. amazon getting a free pass from wall street to operate break even. that is difficult for walmart to compete on price. melissa: that's a great point. people spending on back to school and 4th of july and it back in between. they're making it count. is this new way of being that can stick when things get better? >> my fear, people are going back, we're seeing signs of that, consumer debt. melissa: that's what i mean.
2:03 pm
>> if you can't buy it, because i don't have money in the bank account you put it on the credit card. melissa: that is how we got into this mess in the first place, one of the reasons. bump in the road for tesla. the company is struggling with lagging sales in europe, now being sued in china over its name. a savvy chinese businessman, registered the tesla trademark there first. investors are concerned that tesla said it resolved this back in january of the also, elon musk really talking about fact that china is where the growth is coming from. you're laughing, you're snickering? >> kind of a frivolous thing but i think for investors right now, tesla is a classic case of a stock that is priced for perfection. i think there is too much risk here. it remains to be seen whether this company can scale up battery production in a way that can bring down its costs. it is very difficult to achieve economies of scale with batteries in particular. i'm not sure profits will be there to support the stock price. >> i think what will happen this
2:04 pm
company may or may not break the trail and having a hard time doing it f it does, big companies with big capital structures come in and take market share because they can move fast. it is very much out there. if it fails, people will just -- >> such a cool car. it is such a cool car. if you ever seen one up close, get in one, they're fantastic but it's a toy and it is a fad. and they won't break through. melissa: i don't know that it's a fad -- >> no. melissa: elon musk factor. he seems to be solving -- >> he is "iron man." >> he is living off of subsidies. he is living off subsidies for anything and everything he can come up with. melissa: okay. we'll see. did i not say this is going to happen? new york city police arrest two people for flying a drone dangerously close to an nypd helicopter. you're our pilot in the group. this is the big danger. we talk about danger from birds. if you have sort of any idiot with a drone out there flying it. in this case over gwb. george washington bridge here in new york. what do you think? >> first of all the elevation for helicopters over the hudson
2:05 pm
river by the george washington bridge is very, very low anyway. the helicopters, this is a danger. i'll tell you, if i may take a swipe at government. melissa: okay. >> where is the faa on this thing? this technology has been around and it is exploding. people from amateur to professional, to news companies, you name it, are flying these things. i'm afraid there will be an accident. i think faa had better get their act together. melissa: they're getting in on it though. i know that lots of real estate brokers are out there using them, and getting warnings this is against the law. they could pay a big fine. >> they used to be called toys. these were toy aircraft. melissa: but they're not. >> used to be called that. used to have like car on the ground but goes in the air. no one got arrested for that. s. was it 800 feet. that is quite a long way. melissa: the fear now everybody is getting them. they're using them for commercial purposes. talking my mother-in-law is real es stay broker. she spent $3,000 as to get one
2:06 pm
to put tremendous pictures on website. everyone is doing it. it face nominal marketing tool. >> i drive in this city. i worry about the ability much my fellow new yorkers to operate their cars. drones really have me frightened. >> -- flight. wow. melissa: elon musk have anything to say about it -- >> how will a drone affect your car? >> i don't get it. >> i'm not a regulation guy. i'm against it. but they regulate the sky now. they better start figuring out a way to register these drones so we know who they are and where they are. melissa: everyone's got one. my household does. crumbs as crumbled before our very i.c.e.! oh, no! years of crummy sales and dropped from the nasdaq this month, they shut off ovens and closed up shop for good. crumbs notified employees on monday they close doors at end of business day? >> there is bigger trend for
2:07 pm
viewers to pay attention to. melissa: okay. >> companies with a lot of exposure to sugar are struggling right now. look at soft drinks. companies that have exposure to meet processors they're all doing well. melissa: how about really dumb companies that make just one thing and get it on every corner. suddenly publicly-traded which never made sense. >> cupcakes, yes. series of books and things come out, talking about how bad sugar is for you. i worry about even bigger companies have too much exposure. melissa: on my block there are two cupcake stores. one on either end. that is when you know it has gone insame. one cupcake and you're halfway down the block. wow, i doesn't want to walk all the way back you by need another one. >> no barrier to entry there. i don't care where cupcakes are made. no branding will work. melissa: magnolia cupcakes are better than crumbs. >> whoa. melissa: they were really -- >> now that crumb has gone out of business. melissa: i don't know know. they were right down the block
2:08 pm

2:09 pm
melissa: are you allow mike cat to do that? no. >> cat is not so much of an artist. >> not upbeat about music business. she is only one selling records. the "harry potter" saying well, book business is not that bad. melissa: every concert she comes out -- so insincere. >> i like taylor swift. she is role model for young women. melissa: come on! >> she has success in her business. the only problem is, tomorrow i think "wall street journal" will run an editorial written by a travel agent and about how things are changing. melissa: that is slam on travel agents. >> they're out of business. that's what i'm saying. industry has changed. melissa: i just, you know, anniversary issue. taylor swift? nobody else is available? >> there were a lot of people available. that seems like a reasonable thing to say. if you're in the music business, talk about the music business. what do you expect her to write about? the automobile business? shoe of. this is what she knows. she is writing from some knowledge.

2:17 pm
elizabeth warren which you also mentioned there. on the left hillary has a real problem because for years going all the way back to her husband's presidency, she and he have had a very tight relationship with wall street. wall street essentially trusts the clintons. they want to support her going into this. she is walking a very fine line. yes, she wants their money and yes, she wants their support but she can't afford to alienate occupy wall street far left base of her party. melissa: we saw what happened to eric cantor when he wasn't aware of, throw the bums out. if she tries to be centrist, i'm friend with wall street thing it, could really backfire, no? >> everybody who has been a friend of wall street has been elected or vice versa. it works in tandem. our friend charlie gasparino written about the greased palm between washington and wall street, has been going on for decades. doesn't matter, democrat or republican. wall street, there is vacuum. there is no republican leader. so they have hillary, who, i am, i still think she won't run. i still think that she's going

out there and getting these big fees because, they can, she can get them because of the fact she might be in the -- melissa: you say wall street picks winner. i think vice versa. they pile in the money at last minute on person they think will win. remember they put a lot of money behind mitt romney and a lot of money behind president obama. as soon as it looked like president obama they were his biggest friends. they come in and finance the winner. >> what they're looking at, they will play both sides regardless hot republican -- melissa: elizabeth warren though? that is tough one. >> but that shows you that since 1968 the democratic party, melissa, really gotten over taken by the far left. they're looking at hillary clinton saying maybe this is our last best, democratic hope before the party is really overrun by -- >> elizabeth warren bitten the hand would feed her which is wall street. melissa: one more from my smart money and to ticks example.

looking at down there? >> a couple things to focus on. one is that small caps are starting to show real signs of deterioration over the last couple days and that is interesting and new. since midway we had a decent amount of stocks and treasury yields reversed their move completely over the last several days and the dollar selling off the yen again. those have correlated positively with the market, this year so far it is important to keep those in mind. for now we can't make much of the move in the s&p and the dow. we haven't gone to new weekly lows, i do worry about the russell being in a seasonally weak time. all these indices got stretched too highs, and multi day lows, we saw tremendous momentum deterioration. melissa: we are going to keep an eye on it. free pair to check yourself. the smart phone giant samsung forecasting is worse results in

2:43 pm
thinking. >> it is shocking and it is the culture shock but really speaks to the fact that we are multitasking and as part of that, it is all about being deployed in in any way possible. we are afraid to be alone with our thoughts so instead of having the computers that is keeping us going, keeping the synapses firing, guys will take the e electric shock instead just to keep their minds going, just not to feel like they are all alone, to keep some brain activity. melissa: a week doing damage with this? you see people waiting for an elevator everyone is on their phone. the past a bust of everyone is on their phone. it seems like many people are not comfortable any longer just standing there. >> what i see is damaging is this idea that they are not doing anything productive. maybe just communicating or social communicated, not like they're looking at informational trying to expand their knowledge which is really what i would love to see more people do with their devices.
2:44 pm
melissa: they're looking on facebook. >> it can be a barren wasteland on facebook. melissa: an electric shock is painful. i could see i would rather be on my device rather than being alone with my thoughts and thinking about what my problems may be but to give yourself a shock? >> it is the significance people look for their lives. they want to the present. they want to be real. not to get morrow's but that is what we see with people who are cutters, this is their way of getting out of depression, to say i am really alive, i need something to take me away. melissa: let's go later, food for thought. prettier food tastes better according to research from the university of oxford. what is the connection? between house something looks at how it tastes? >> instead of relying on tastebuds now you are looking -- you have site as part of it. melissa: makes it taste better, a way it looks? >> it looks more complex
