[closing bell ringing] david: i got to tell you, little-known secret about, 1987. that is the number, right, liz? 197, on s&p. look at that number. exactly 197.77. may rise a little bit above that to 198. we're close to record on s&p. unfortunately all the other indices couldn't pull out a win today. but it wasn't a bad day. the way things were looking at one point. they were going pretty far to the south. just about flat on the dow. russell is biggest loser. even there, barely a loss. we have a very busy day. a lot of earnings coming out including amazon. "after the bell" starts right now. liz: can't ignore the truly

zillow rumor there would be potential merger there, both of those stocks skyrocketing. let's get to lee munson. president and chief investment officer. lee has a big smile on his face. he will at the us why emerging markets may be your best hedge against inflation. we have centennial capital parcellers in senior partner. he says rising interest rates could be good for stocks. bob iaccino from the cme. we're waiting on big numbers for big names. take it first. action, another s&p record. >> you could call it not a bad day. not particularly impressive way we gained. we finished with a record on s&p. i don't think it was one anybody didn't expect to happen. earnings reported yesterday on facebook but didn't see much follow through. you saw sideways action after that. that telltale. see one or two-day move after

that. we're late in the week. people put more money to work. you have the gap open, pretty much sideways from there on some major names. david: lee, munson. gold. a lot of people were talking gold today, way down. it has another 12 handle. 1294. some people say it may go to 1208 before the week is done. you say there are other ways to hedge against inflation. one i never thought of. why are emerging markets hedge against inflation. better than gold. >> you have to think a lot of 21 emerging markets are commodity-based countries. russia in terms of energy. china, brazil. the main thing, that emerging markets are quite correlated to gold. tips, inflation protected securities. nice thing about emerging markets not only diversify portfolio out of u.s. stocks. they have a return on capital. it doesn't sit there shiny and looking pretty. emerging markets tend to pay good dividend.

they have that return. when you look historically and think when will i get the most bang for my buck, let's look at data, not just a newsletter, you will find stocks, especially in countries with high inflation, you're take that rick because capitalism works it is your buddy. gold, frankly they're good for wedding rings, things of that nature. liz: let me interrupt you here because pandora came out with numbers. adam has them. >> street was expecting three cents. revenue 211.9 million. street was expecting 218.8 million. mobile, revenue from mobile is 167.5 million. that is a 51% non-gaap increase year-over-year. going through the report to see if we get their user numbers but that is the latest. liz: total listening hours, david is big fan of pandora. david: subscriber. liz: 76.4 million at end of second quarter. the listener hours growing 29%.

david: that is 76-point what? end of first quarter was 75.3. that is 1.1 million more than the last quarter. not tremendous amount. after-hours you can see the stock barely moving at all. doesn't show much of a move. what do you think about pandora? janet yellen said all the social media stocks are overvalued. she was wrong in the short term about facebook. is that following for pandora as well? bob, go ahead. >> janet had duration play about that. i don't think she was talking about the next couple days. i'm not a big fan of the space to be honest. interesting what was said, i couldn't hear who said it, you like spotify better than pandora. liz: me. >> was that, you liz? liz: yeah. >> spotify experience is better. if you like the space, you have to like pandora because they're going into cars at a much faster rate than spotify is or ever will. they have such a head start.

you're seeing what is happening with ford in terms of sales. pandora is going in there. if you like the space you have to like pandora. liz: let me get to curt. before we hit pandora numbers, lee said go to emerging market space. curt, you're unapologetic bull when it comes to long-term bull market you feel could last 20 years. why? why do you believe we're still in the early innings what already has been a five-year big rally here for stocks? >> well i think we began in 2009, a secular bull market. i think we're in a cyclical cycle of that secular bull. i'm not saying that we'll not have correction or we're not going to have any type of adjustment. i think we will. but i think we're probably in the 7th inning of this cycle. i think long term, if you look at demographic, it is going to be driven by the baby boomers babies. those kids that are going, as they begin to mature and get to age 35, start earning more money, start developing families, they will have

profound impact on housing, financials. i think will really drive this nation forward. in the near-term -- david: excuse me for interrupting. let me put up pandora numbers again. i should mention they dropped dramatically the pastple moments. down to about 26. some numbers came in, what i said before, what, 1.1 million increase in active listeners. that apparently was not, that much for the market. go ahead finish the point, curt. we have starbucks, very important earnings. we're about to talk to dunkin' donuts ceo. adam, give us the numbers into starbucks beating on both lines. earnings per share, 67 cents. the street was expecting 66 cents. same-store sales, in the americas up 6%. same-store sales globally up 6%, david. david: interesting you mention this because it is trading way up after-hours, well a full

dollar up after-hours. we were talking about dunkin' donuts. their ceo is coming on. they had a very bad quarter. seemed bob, all things are not equal, who came out of the winter doldrums equally. starbucks did very well. dunkin' donuts did not. >> they're brand loyalty. higher end of coffee chains. more affluent price increase goes with their customers, a lot more smoothly than dunkin' donuts customers. they have done very well extending duration of coffee hedges. there is revenue growth in there. bottom line doing really well. move up to the highs after initial dip tomorrow after first opened. liz: same-store sales is why the stock initially got a positive bump. it is moderating at moment. david: it is. liz: same-store sales, david looked good. i need to mention too, visa is out. as we parse those numbers, visa's stock is now trading well below. at least for the bid, what it

closed at. it closed at $222. it is now at 29 for the bid at the moment. as we work on visa numbers important to keep that up and keep that in huge market cap for this company, david. david: curt, i want to bring you back to today's news on housing. one of your picks is toll brothers. toll brothers was down, way, way down. it was down about 4% today. of course the old adage, buy low, are you concerned at all when you looked at numbers that came out. >> down 8% on those housing starts? >> no. because it is early stage. think if you, if you go forward 10 years and able to look back and look where housing will be, and i look at where the price today is, as far as builders and all the suppliers around housing you look at this being cheap and opportunity to make some long-term money. once again demographics in this country, people get wrong. they think it is baby boomers. it is not. it is baby boomers babies. as they mature and get to

college debt in the back window. as they have kids and -- david: i don't know how far that window is getting further and further back. debt is increasing a lot. a lot of millenials are staying at home. not moving into houses of their own. liz: hold on. let me get to the visa numbers. >> got them right here. liz: adam, how did they do? >> they beat and beat. 3.16 billion. street expecting 3.15 billion. earnings per share $2.11. street expecting $2.10. this is what you want to pay attention to. revising full net revenue growth for 2014, revenue growth in the nine to 10% range. i believe that down from what they said in the last quarter, 10 to 11%, liz. liz: lee munson, you say doesn't matter. visa is a global company. nonetheless you're actually believer in pretty interesting plays. put them up on the screen. they have little to do with markup. market vectors, russia, rsg,

that is big high-risk issue, right? >> the reason that i put that up, everybody has that urge sometimes to be degenerate gambler to go to vegas. russia is the poster-child. four types earnings not that you need to buy it. you have to have asset allocation liz, that is sensible. the russian multiples have been cut in half because of the political risk. by the way, the valuations were even half of what they are now, back in '98 when they defaulted and back in 2008. but the point is, that if you go and do something silly i want to speculate on russia, you're being rewarded, not because of trying to time the market but because of political risk. that is why emerging markets, especially small value marriage marriages because i want to talk about russia. -- emerging markets. the reason you get more return because there is some other risk you will get rewarded for taking. now russia, that's a little

extreme. if you want to gamble and speculate that is a great place to start. if you look smaller, value emerging markets you have higher expected returns. smaller companies have more risk and returns. cheaper does better than value. it is dunkin' donuts amazon thing or starbucks. this uncertainty is in dunkin' donuts. everybody knows starbucks. it always does well. liz: lee, we love your energy and love your idea. we must go. it is a particularly busy afternoon here. thanks to lee hundred an son. buffett is with you. go in when it is scariest. and curt and bob, thanks to all of you. david: thanks, gentlemen. appreciate you rolling with the punches. they may have hot coffee but dunkin' donuts and dunkin' brands did not have a hot quart sales felt short sending the 52-week low. what is plans to turn it around. we have the ceo to ask him. liz: earnings kick into high gear last quarter. 23 models are in ford's pipeline

david: boy, started to drop now. dropping like a stone, pandora sinking in after-hours trading, following second-quarter earnings report. liz: let's head back to nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange for real reason here. >> i've been talking with traders to look at numbers here. seems forward numbers are really problem is. we'll break down current quarter better than expected, earnings per share coming in at four cents, three cents earnings per share. revenue also, that was good enough news there too. 11.9 million, versus estimates

of 18.3 million. outlook for third quarter adjusted earnings per share looking five to eight cents. estimates were eight cents. wouldn't have been great if they said eight cents to 10 cents. while they seemed positive going forward. that may be one bone of kong tension. -- contention. growth slowed a bit. that may be another bone of contention. listening hours grew 29%, liz and dave. active listeners were 76.4 million at the end of second quarter for pandora. back to you. david: thanks, nicole. dunkin' brands missing estimates today and cutting full-year forecast, pushing shares to a 52-week low, down about 4 1/2% today alone. the parent company, dunkin' donuts, baskin-robbins ice cream, reporting weaker than expected same-store sales. kirk revenue fell short of street estimates. what weighed on the second quarter report, what needed to be done to boost performance in the second half of the year? joining me nigel travis, dunkin

brand chairman and ceo. nigel, good to see you. tough day for you. first quarter was weak because of the weather. you can't really blame the weather for the second quarter, can you? >> david, good afternoon, we don't really blame the weather for the second quarter. it was a very small factor, in the quarter. increasing competition. we've also seen a tightening market. i think it is, actually, very instructive, today, day reported, mpd reported the year, for the industry to the end of may. 21, 61 million people visited restaurants. that is actually at a level, recession started. so, i think that demonstrates things are very tight out there. having said that. we lowered guidance. we don't like to do that. we have very high standards. going forward, we've got some really good plans, i think are

going to make things go in the right direction. but i would like to make one point. david: sure, go ahead. >> we're a franchise business. franchise profitability is our number one goal. our profitability is doing very nicely. franchisees are doing very nicely. our franchisees are investing in the brand at record levels. i think that is really important. however -- david: hold on a second, nigel. you're preaching to the converted. i'm a dunkin' donuts guy. i love dunkin' donuts coffee. liz: me too. david: liz says yes too. starbucks came in with jumpers in. it is trading about where it ended day. very strong numbers in its second quarter. why did starbucks do so well and you not? >> well, firstly, congratulations to starbucks. their numbers were good, but i would think i also point out as we said on our earnings call this morning, david, we beat just about everyone else in quick service restaurants. we looked to all the other

numbers that have come out earlier this week. we have beaten, see as our other direct competitors. we grew share in the quarter. we grew our transactions in the quarter. i think that was very important for us. there is a difference between us and starbucks. we have a different model. we have a franchise model. which means other people invest in our brand. we have great return on that investment. it means, that if we make changes, we have to consult our franchisees. pricing is up to them. sometimes takes us a little bit longer. what i will tell you, our franchisees in our view did excellent job come peeing with the quarter, it is tough but they did a wonderful job. david: hold on, nigel, if you can, just one second. we're very quickly come in with earnings report and come back to you. adam, very quickly please. >> loss of 27 cents per share for amazon. the street was expecting a loss of 15 cents. revenue grew to what the street

expected, 19.34 billion. they're reporting second quarter sales up 23%. revenue, 19.34 billion. that is what the street expected. a few other nuggets people consider, worldwide media sales, 4.84 billion, david. north american segment sales, 12 billion. back to you. david: fine. as we see trading after-hours is bad. we'll try to keep up the amazon numbers so folks see how much it is dropping after-hours. significant drop of course. profit is issue with amazon, always has been. negative earnings per share number this quarter. nigel, i want to ask what the biggest headwind you're facing. inflation on products like milk and consumer demand. which headwind was a strongest for you? >> i would say consume demand. as i said, restaurant visits are down. to be fair, npd information showed breakfast visits were up. that attracted a lot of other competitors including casual

dining into our sector. we competed well. i think important take, david, our transactions were up. what we intend to focus on is utilizing that, newfound traffic and getting them to take more dollars per transaction. we're going to do that through our perks program with record growth. it was 1.3 million people signed up now for our perks program. r. >> more and more people downloaded the app. we're eight million on that. a lot of things are going right. i think you will see in subsequent quarters that we will have better numbers than this quarter but still will be tough out there. because i don't see the economy growing at rate we would all like anytime soon. david: nigel travis, tough when you have a bad quarter like this but dunkin' donuts has habit of coming back. that is a strong, strong brand. nigel travis, dunkin brand chairman and ceo. as you can see by the way, amazon is down 5% after-hours.

and they're specifying what kind of skills they want, what kind of talents these people have. you need to make sure you're optimized. you can be found. as many job experience as you have had. you know, your tag line. your headline. you definitely want to use words that employers would be searching for. so, if you're a marketer, if you're a whatever. and beyond that, make it exciting. you know, you've got a summary section. 40 words we know that your profile is more likely to be looked at. you're absolutely right. not just one experience or job that you want to talk about. you want to list a number. because employers may be looking for 10 years experience. you have only got three. david: not everything in our lives is exciting and valuable. let's face it. there are gaps in our profiles. gaps when we're either looking for a job or maybe we're free-lancing. maybe just washing dishes while we have our career paths changing. how do you fill in those gaps that people are going to see in

form content, what you think as a professional. liz: what are some of the biggest mistakes people make in their linkedin profiles so our viewers avoid making those mistakes? >> it is to not fill it out. more than that, not to use linked in to its full potential. beyond having a full and robust profile you need to be connecting with people. you need to be, you know, looking and learning from our influencers. we have over 500 professionals, industry leaders, you included who are sharing great, inspiring, very productive content that they can share and learn from and, i know you're a big -- liz: i have written many influencer column. they're fascinating to read. you can learn so much. connections, linkedin connections sometimes you could have too many. should you jettison many so of them? does that help. >> you want a clean list. in this instance it is much more about the quality of those connections than it is the

reached a three-year high following better-than-expected earnings today. the automaker post ad record quarter in north america. it announced soaring sales in china. how does ford feel about the quarter? i spoke with ford's chief financial officer possible shanks and asked him what word he would use to describe the second quarter? >> the one word i would use is strong. it was a strong quarter for ford. liz: when i think about it, and i look through all the numbers that your north american sales hit a pretax record. what drove that? it was less than three months ago in the last quarter that those exact sales disappointed investors? >> well, we had a record quarter, for record profit for any quarter that you mentioned. it was driven by good cost performance. we also had strong profits coming from our after-sales servic and parts business. so, that combination drove that strong result. we had great margins. 11.6%. north america was clearly a

standout. the other word i would use if you asked me is the breadth of our performance. we had good news across many parts of our business outside of north america as well. liz: asia-pacific, china, i saw those sales jumping 35%. you're opening all kinds of plants in china. how important is the china picture to ford's future? >> well asia-pacific is important because it is by far the largest individual region of the world in terms of sales in china. within that is the big gorilla. and what we're finding in china is, that our brand and our products, are real resonating with customers. we're seeing strong growth in what we call the tier 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, cities. the quality of our products are great. we're getting good pricing. as you said we have more capacity coming on stream. we have right now, three plants, three additional plants under construction in china. one will open later this year and two next year.

there is a lot more to come in terms of the china story for ford. liz: you mentioned brett. that certainly includes the sales that you had in europe. you swung to a profit, first time in three years. can we assume, from your experience of, improving picture in europe that the recession is in the rear view mirror when it comes to what is happening in the european nations? >> we're certainly, very, very modest growth in the euro area. our view gdp will probably grow this year sort of in the 1% range. in the u.k., which is an important market for us, we're seeing much stronger growth, 2 1/2 to 3% range. it is no longer declining. at best when one views the euro area you could only call that modest but nonetheless it is improving. we're seeing positive effects in our business. liz: i know that you had a stumble in latin america. but i'm less interested in that. because i think that is endemic of what is going on in latin america.

there is real weakness, depending which countries you're looking at. >> exactly. liz: shift over to russia. you have a write-down in russia. you have a joint venture there. so much tension globally is stemming out of russia. can you continue to do business there, bob, and are you and ford preparing for more tighter or stringent sanctions? what if the united states administration says out, nobody can do business with russia now? >> we haven't been seriously affected by sanctions announced by both the u.s. and e.u. if something else comes out from either government we'll respond as appropriate but the a the moment, we're moving ahead with our business an working with our partners to find actions that, can improve the business as we go forward, given environment we're in. liz: as we look forward to what might happen in the current quarter, and then certainly the rest of the year of 2014, is this sustainable? i asked that, you have just had a terrific quarter here. but these unforeseen, we call

them exogenous events, things that happen globally definitely affect what is going on here. with this global tension can you maintain numbers and what appears to be upward trajectory for ford? >> we certainly expect to deliver guidance that we have had out there since the beginning of the year, which is to make a profit of 7 to $8 billion. we're still on track of that. obviously as the year progresses there are both positive surprises and negative events that transpire. that is the nature of our business. we're everywhere in the world. it is a volatile world. we have a great process in place that simply responds to that. and, makes adjustments as appropriate. i think we feel very much on track to our guidance for the year. liz: bob, i'm dying to know. what ford do you drive at home? >> i just got a brand new mkc. that is the new small utility we launched. driving it last two nights. love it. it is great. it is perfect size for me.
