news for stock investors. i think there are some buying opportunities. melissa: james, the world is falling apart though the why doesn't the market seem worried about it? >> i think we're becoming somewhat numb geopolitical risk, russia, ukraine, middle east and going back to iraq. i agree with jack's point. people are looking to the fed. there has been good data. the chinese trade data blue away expectations. they're shunning geopolitical risk and embracing good things in the markets. >> i don't think the markets cared about iraq since 2001 and 2003. we had all sorts of black swan events, libya, and it didn't affect. the issue is aging bull. doesn't just go out to pasture. crashes into walls. melissa: they're saying rally here is fact things are settling down in ukraine. there is a pullback there. they're saying geopolitical the reason why it is up, do you buy that, either of you guys? >> i think economic improvement. i think investors are going

hearing whispered, they're worried about getting antidote falling into the wrong hand because somebody might weaponize ebola. this is something that has been talked about for a long time. so if the serum is out there to cure it, they can change the ebola strain and weaponize it? >> what should i be panicked about first? ebola spreading to u.s. or someone weapon noising ebola. melissa: i think we can panic all of it. >> the biggest threat of ebola is ignorance handling cases. basic hygiene. it is not as big of a risk in the u.s. we have better communications to tell people how to avoid sort of thing. better treatment in hospitals. they don't have the stuff in west africa. melissa: what do you think, james? >> i'm not sure i should say desperate times require desperate measures. concern about ebola bringing it here to the country, will fast track anything this company can do. that is why the stock is rallying. melissa: cbs ceo,less mean vest

ending speculation of acquiring cnn. we thought about it but it is not going to happen. real interesting part he said they're more interested in creating content for netflix and elsewhere. in other words they don't want to buy content. create it and sell it off. >> that's right, melissa. becoming a library of content. the word cnn would be valued $10 billion. les moonves called that, silly. pie-in-the-sky valuations. when you look at market cap, cbs's market cap is $6 billion, higher than netflix. apple could buy both cbs and netflix. melissa: does cbs look like spurned lover? girl left behind wasn't asked to prom, sort of sitting there if. >>cbs would have if price was cheap and so one forced to make a sale under those conditions. other i think cbs doing just fine. melissa: i think somebody

it is pretty unique product. do you use it for lift as well an separation? should i go further or totally out of place? someone stop me. >> i will stop you. i doesn't use it. this is second bite of lululemon apple. they made money first time around. they're a good partner. bring much-needed stability to a company with competition, quality, but also -- melissa: i applaud you getting through that answer with a straight face. >> didn't ask me. melissa: i love lululemon. >> they have great products. melissa: delta attempting to keep passengers happy by virtually limiting flight cancellations. nixed 19 out of almost 70,000 flights in june, believing delay.ers would rather endure you know they said, if that is what customers hate the most, let's not cancel anymore flights. that is what the vice president said. they're on time rate goes way down. that was the option. when you have a flight that is super delayed, you could cancel it or roll out a plane that will take a couple hours.

what is the smarter choice? >> delta is doing well in lot of different areas. this starts by pruning routes you have only routes with full plane to make you money. having good as sortment of routes to begin with you're able to do this. this has been a process going on for a a few years. melissa: is cancellation the worst thing you can possibly do? does that anger everyone possibly more than anything else? what do you think, james. >> not enough time to talk, cancellation with notice, no harm, no foul. jam you up at airports. they make more money not letting flights go less than fuel. melissa: that's right. i think there has been a rash of crazy cancellations. i'm happy to see them doing this i've been there night before canceled flight said storm coming next day. the storm didn't come. my flight was canceled any and i was beyond furious. >> supposed to get more money than what they tell you with current government rules. supposed to get good thousand

bucks depending on trip. this is finally fly the friendly skies. delta's stock has been in up right position because it is more customer friendly, not canceling flights. melissa: here is one of the most important stories of the day. this is perfect tech solution for romantics or stalkers, not sure which. new happen app, happen, keep as log of every person you pass on the street. so you pass someone, not they were really hot, made eye contact, you didn't stop and accost them or embarass yourself or whatever you normally would be doing, instead look later, given they're on the app as well, find them. wow, i passed you on the street. this proves what i always knew, the internet was invented for sex. that's it. that is what it is all about, right? >> good news for flashers, perverts, all sorts -- i'm not sure what use it would be. melissa: also they say it is pour people you pass on the street. if you read lower, users can try to send a charm to someone to get their attention. so maybe you didn't pass them. it is free to women. but men have to pay.

melissa: geopolitical concerns not slowing the market's gains. let's go to cm e-trader andrew keane there with what is going on. andrew, what is the main focus right now? >> this market has been unbelievable. i find this is very, very challenging market to trade, seems like for the most part, every time we rallied over the course of the last week we pot sold. last thursday on the 31st, got ugly. dollar was down 100 points of the looks like headed to 18 eight at this on s&p 500 futures 1880. possibly short-term bottom could be in. we haven't had big correction over 10% in two years. i don't think this is the thing to do it. i've been very cautious. i've been net long over the last couple weeks. hurt me a little bit, not that badly. melissa: what are you expecting monday? what are you looking for? >> s&p 500 futures open sunday night at 5:00 p.m. i will be glued in to see reaction. if we close in on the highs,

great recession because credit was handed out willy-nilly to people. melissa: like candy. go ahead. >> charlie, the reason they have so muchowy're gment issued monopolies. >> i agree with you. i don't know if this is a credit rating agency where they have, i know what you're talking about. stamp of approval. >> credit is cheap. melissa: some of the -- >> credit is cheap but almost unavailable for people actually to get. >> this is not a government monopoly. melissa: some of the things they're doing makes sense. for example, they will give less weight to unpaid medical bills with a collection agency. hasn't everybody had one where you're fighting back and forth with them, been charged wrong amount and wrecks your credit and they have that over your head? some of the things, it does get out of control. what do you think, scott? >> well, it does, melissa, and i think this revamping is well overdue. we saw, in recent consumer

credit numbers, tens of billions of dollars of credit is getting extended to the consumer, which is good. that is up off the floor from the '08-09 era. there are a lot worse four letter guys to say on tv than debt. i don't mind debt as long as you grow. >> we just answered that in the last segment. we're not growing. you know here is where i kind of like the fact that there are companies that are throw down the hammer. you know, when i grew up, my father hated debt. i mean it was a necessary evil. but it was necessary but it was evil. we've turned that around where somehow good to go into debt. melissa: leverage is a good word now. you want to lever -- >> lever it up and live beyond your means. that is a problem with this country. >> charlie, americans have learned that lesson. they are been tightening their belts. >> you're right, more than the government, that's for sure. melissa: we leave it there, guys. thanks, twice. zynga may have partnered with one of the biggest golf pros in
