tv After the Bell FOX Business August 19, 2014 4:00pm-5:01pm EDT
4:00 pm
[closing bell ringing]. i was talking to traders here. it is rising with the momentum of the retail sector overall, guys. david: this market is really unstoppable, at least for now. of course some people say, hey, so it seemed in 2007. so it seemed in 1999. is this one of those moments or is this perhaps the middle of a longer bull period than we are accustomed to? stocks finishing on the upside. no quite as rich as yesterday. boy, not bad at all. the dow jones up full percentage point. same for nasdaq. s&p right on the button, half a percentage point. produce sell not as rich as others but doing quite well. a wonderful tuesday. we have busy hour for you. "after the bell" starts right now. liz: so with that we break down today's action. bring in rob morgan, fulcrum securities chief investment
4:01 pm
strategist. he is smiling. rob will tell us how he is changing investment strategy and where he is seeing opportunity. lance roberts, fta wealth management chief strategist, a even bigger smile with three stocks he says you have to add to your portfolio. gist gersch, in the pits of the cme. chris, we begin with you. a nice rally today, off highs of the session. the dow was up 91. i'm not looking a gift here's in the mouth. talk about what you expect as we get closer to a, the fed minutes on wednesday and b, janet yellen speaking on friday? >> well, liz, i think we'll see a lot of volume copping here from the s&p futures pit. we have a confluence of low interest rates, seemingly low inflation, lower than expected. and earnings have been fantastic. so, all of sudden these traders are now, almost betting on mrs. yellen making a jump in interest rates, you can see that a little bit, just in some of
4:02 pm
the discussions happening. and we have a little bit of a pull back after those highs, like you said. not the confidence that you would want going into a bull environment storm. david: but lance, look at two days of this weak. granted, they are just two days in a year of days, but i'm wondering if you think the summer slump is over? that is, people are thinking, boy, this is about as low as it will get, i have to get in? >> you and i talked about this earlier this year. we thought there might be a pull back this summer, little deeper than it was. only thing i have a little concern on simply the volume in the market has been very, very light. david: true. >> the other thing we're move midterm election cycle. one thing potentially out there, if it looks like republicans will take the house and senate, that could put some concern that the conservatives might induce a lot more fiscal tightening in terms of policy in the next coming years. that could put a little bit after headway in front of the market. david: wait a minute hold on a
4:03 pm
second. hold on a second. >> yeah? david: you are suggesting that conservatives are going to make it less business-friendly environment than we have now? >> no, no. if you start, one of the, no, one of the things they talked about earlier is putting a limit on the debt ceiling as an example, right? cutting back on budgetary issues, cutting back on more government spending. that will tighten monetary traction in the market and reduce some of the liquidity push over last few years. that is something worth paying attention to. liz: rob morgan, get to you at fulcrum. talk to me about your fear, if not at all then, how long this lasts. we were talking in the last hour with mike holland. he says there is much room to run simply because a whole generation of people were scared and burned by financial crisis and didn't get in. therefore there is more room to run in this bull market? >> i agree, liz. i think we'll probably pass the halfway point of this bull market but at the same time, we've got a healing economy.
4:04 pm
you have got a stock market really isn't expensive here. not necessarily cheap but about in middle of its historic valuation range. the retail investor is just starting to get back into the market. eventually, once that, once that trend plays out for a while, that is a bad sign. but i do, i would agree with mike holland, yeah, this bull has more room to run. david: chris, i like talking about stocks. we have to talk about oil for a second, something that affectings everybody, even if you don't have stocks. it has fallen quite a bit. does it have much further to fall? >> i think, what you saw today was a dramatic pullback. that was based on a technical level at the that 9550. that did not hold. you are below 95 for first time since march. i think it was capitulation trade to the downside. i think you see it trade in a range between 94.50, up to $96. so i wouldn't go selling it
4:05 pm
right now. it will have a bounce off of that movem today. liz: what a nice segue to lance's pick. lance, you actually like oil services company called schlumberger we talk about all the time. proctor & gamble and coca-cola you're other picks. >> yeah. liz: where is the opportunity, we're pumping a lot and extracting a lot and other companies are sprouting up doing it? >> the thing is here, this is a technical trade more than anything else because, i agree with what mike just said about oil prices. we're very, very oversold on monthly basis on oil prices. we're likely to get a bounce up towards the century mark next couple months. we're moving right time of the year. any volatility in the middle east we'll do that. many schlumberger trades closely to. mos in the price of oil. up tick is likely to feed into the stock. reasonable trade. good solid fundamentals with good dividend to boot. david: we saw coca-cola. lance, i stick with coca-cola.
4:06 pm
it is strong brand with good balance sheet but sells something the public is less interested in than they used to be. i was reading one article about the freefall of coke and diet coke among consumers. granted they have other products. can they survive with premier brand on the downside? >> yeah. i think they will, as you said, great balance sheet. good strong cash flow. hefty dividend yield. again in this market, people are still chasing yield when there is newer money in money markets. so that is one issue. they can survive. they continue to acquire and expand their overall product database from water to juices and others. there is plenty of upside and potential stability for the company. liz: i want to get to rob's picks because what you do might be comfortable for some of our viewers and that is pick baskets of stocks. you have etfs here. i-shares, industrials and technology. the cycle of tech, where the big companies in the world put off buying a whole bunch of
4:07 pm
computers for their employees or servers, upgrading entire systems, are we done with that or is there more to come? is that why you believe in technology? >> you know, i do think there's more to come. in general, liz, as you noticed by those etfs, those are cyclically oriented sectors. i feel if the market will be rising here, cyclical names are probably going to be the best. i think there is more specifically in the tech space for capital expenditures going forward. david: chris, what are you listening for with the fed this week if. >> i'm listening yellen to echo traders are saying. interest rates are going to rise. things are too good right now. >> you think even though they would be suggesting to tight init up and raise rates, the market is accepting all of that? >> i think the market is accepting in that. we had, you know, all of sudden, turned to deflationary tendencies. that didn't scare a lot of traders that i talked to
4:08 pm
previously before coming on, believe that yellen and they're positioning for a yellen increase in rates. >> okay. well that is not going to be a quiet moment when that happens. david: thursday it begins. friday we hear the speech. >> might finally have a pullback. liz: may be -- >> watching that vest closely. liz: we talk about when at the tighten a lot and when they do people still won't be ready for it. rob, lance roberts. chris we'll check in a few minutes for the s&p futures close. stay right there. david: while the fed keeping interest rates essentially zero percent but the inflation rate is 2%. isn't that a 2% tax on american savers who are not in the market? who gave the fed the right to tax us? i thought that was congress? columbia business school dean glenn hubbard, joining news a moment. liz: it was another violent night in ferguson, missouri with more arrests.
4:09 pm
31 in one night. it has police departments think about new equipment and tactics and actually putting in orders. we're talking to a company leading way outfitting the police with different kinds of personal cameras, like a spy pen. its equipment is being used by police in movies right now. david: also, it is 10th anniversary of google's ipo. you remember when it came out, $100ck? isithith when the investor could buy the stock for bargain price of $85, some said you were nuts to buy in. they turned out to be smart ones. what is next for the tech giant. how has culture evolved over the years? we'll talk to two guys right there in the beginning, you want to hear their stories coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] once, there was a man

4:12 pm
we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov david: shares of tjx companies are jumping today following its second-quarter earnings relea. liz: head back to ashley webster on the floor of the new york stock exchange. ash? >> this is probably the stellar performer of retailers, liz and david, really impressive today, finishing up 8.6% on the back of those second-quarter earnings. finish at 58.56. this stock remember after the
4:13 pm
financial crisis sis fell below $10 a share. it has been remarkably resilient. they managed increase sales and foot traffic into the stores, so much so, they say they are raising full-year guidance. earnings up nearly 8%. they also say one of the few retailers that has been able to show improvement in their margins. as we know competitive field, offering deep discounts is one of realities. so far, tj maxx and marshall's store have not been able to do that but at the same time not lose their market share. of course analysts love that investors love that and this is really a terrific story today leasing that rising tide of retail momentum across the entire sector. david: ashley, thank you very much. good to see you down there. liz: s&p futures are closing right now. let's head back to chris gersch in the pits of the cme. chris, how does it look? >> liz and david, it has been really choppy since the end of equity close. we're up close half a percent of
4:14 pm
all-time highs in the s&p futures. big stories down here. look for yellen to be hawkish next couple months. we could finally get a pullback. >> thank you very much, chris gersch. david: inflation figures out today show steady 2% rate which should please fed bankers that meet at jackson hole thursday to defend their zero interest rates. try telling a retired saver that 2% inflation on top of zero interest rates is a good thing. he has been seeing savings whittled down for three years and fed up with things. will his voice get a hearing at this week's fed meeting? we'll ask someone who will be there, glenn hubbard, former chair of the economic council of advisors and current dean of columbia business school. dean, great to see you. >> my pleasure. david: will anyone defend interests of poor old guy saving his money his whole life and relying on savings from savings
4:15 pm
account to retire with and he can't do that? he has seen those savings whittled down. >> i think you're asking a great question for the jackson hole meeting because monetary policy has been easy for too long. i think the beginning of the fed's response to the crisis is very appropriate. i think the real reasons to question whether monetary policy is what is needed right now. better fiscal policy could help the economy a lot. i'm not persuaded continuation of the fed's policy will make much difference. david: as you know, if you go back to 1980 up until now, there is only one three-year period where you have inflation above interest rates. whereas you could not keep money keeping it in the bank. that period has been the past three years. all the booming '80s, interest rates above inflation. booming '90s above the same thing. i don't think we can have a booming economy with interest rates and inflation inverted the way it is. >> we're running the risk of misallocating credit by keeping
4:16 pm
interest rates so long for so long. the real question for the fed, whether it thinks it can affect the employment situation, what chair yellen is interested in by continuation of the policy. i don't think we're going to bring people back into the labor force with monetary policy if we want to do that, we need better fiscal policy. david: bottom line, i know we're hearing signs that perhaps we will boost the fed fund rate a little bit for the first time in a long time, but, when will we actually have interest rates above inflation so that savers can make a little money. >> i think there may be a while. i think fed will start to tighten a bit before the market thinks, probably early in 2015. neutral fed funds rate is probably north of 3%. the question how long does it take to get there. david: is a good question. if you had the answer you could make a billion dollars. okay, i want to get your views what is happening in ferguson, missouri, not necessarily the purview of economists at the moment but there is something, there is this argument that inequality between richested and
4:17 pm
poorest exacerbating situation. cause of the problem, than results of economic policy. you had a piece in the "washington post" back in february, i think it was, in fact one of the best ways to get rid of inequality, to get us closer to the poorest of the poor and richest of the rich both increasing, do across the board tax cuts. explain. >> we've really got to tackle this problem and you framed it very well. we have to remove barriers to growth and support work by least among us. by tax reform. we need to strengthen eitc and wage support for low income individuals and families. if we do those things we'll make huge progress. david: what you said in fact i want to quote you, you said a policy shift in favor of mass prosperity, dynamism and inclusion is best conducted via fundamental tax reform. i would suggest that we had that
4:18 pm
experiment play out recently when we raised taxes coming out of recession. it did not help us to grow in robust manner, as opposed to reagan years we had seven fat years between 1983, when the tax cuts kicked in, to 1989, and we in fact looked at a chart. it showed the smallest, least wealthy 20% and the richest 20% both saw their incomes rise. the bottom 20% rose 11.8%, and the top 20% rose 12.2%. so in fact all boats do rise when you have across the board tax cuts. >> well the good news is we should be able to get bipartisan agreement here. people like marco rubio and paul ryan suggested ways to strengthen wage growth for low income individuals. business tax reform is something the president says he is interested in. we should be able to have this conversation. david: well you are, in addition to being an economist you're also astute politically. what do you think chances are, say we're running up to election
4:19 pm
before november. say republicans get control of the senate. they have control of the house. will they work out some deal, for example on corporate taxes? we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, everybody, republicans, democrats agree it is too high. will we have any agreement there? >> two-ways to do this. the best way for tax reform, let the president lead, that is time honored tradition. the congress could put on his desk bills relating to supporting wages for low income people and reforming business taxation. i think at the would have a tough time not signing them. david: glen hubbard, dean of columbia business school, wonderful to see you again, glen. liz? liz: david, it has been 10 years since google went public. it has moved far beyond its original search engine roots to everything from, as you know google glass, computerized eyewear to four-legged robots. we talk to two former googlers about what is next for this company. the u.s. boating industry riding a wave of optimism after

4:25 pm
[buzzer] liz: google bought nest, that was a big acquisition. david: speaking of which. liz: happy anniversary, birthday, 10 years ago. the company went public at $85 a share. needless to say it has come such a long way since then. the stock today? nearly $600. it rallied 1081% over those 10 years so -- david: wow, so how has the company evolved, what is next and what is it like to work at the tech monster, particularly at beginning of it? who better to ask, one of two former executives, david hirsch and david gerard, up start founder and ceo. gentlemen, great to see you. thank you for coming here. let's see who should i start with, hirsch first. we have two davids here. in a general sense could you tell when you were there at the beginning of the company there was something different, there was a quality of this company that differed substantially from
4:26 pm
all the other tech startups? >> that is a great question i get asked all the time. i think fact i took a huge pay cut to go to google, telling parents i leave a web platform named snowball going to google. my folks would say, get a job already? i remember my first day at google. i got to the cafeteria at mountainview and menu included wild salmon and grass fed filet mignon. i said what did i do wrong here? did i get myself into another dot-com? by second week, with everyone collaborating and engineers, everyone working on same problems you realized it was very, very special and huge culture would buildout. liz: david hirsch opened new york business. dave girard. you had a different role. you were at google eight years, correct? talk about your experience as david hirsch did at the very beginning. what was it like? >> well, when i got there it was, it was still a private
4:27 pm
company, not as early as david but it was, the world didn't yet know that google was a very successful business. they knew it was very quirky and pretty awesome search engine until really the company filed the s-1 i don't think people knew what a business it was. when i went there, i had similar experience, i told my mom i was taking job at google. i thought that was a web page? i said, it is a web page and it is a business. she kind of said, jeez, they're still doing that? there was skepticism still at that time about the whole dot-com fallout. david: david hirsch, one thing we've seen, and some people saw it coming, about seven years ago, i had an interview with barry diller and he was talking about how we were going to see this massive switch of advertising revenue from the magazines, newspapers, and tv over into the, into the internet arena. did you foresee that? was that sort of mother load of revenue you were expecting for google? >> you know, google
4:28 pm
fundamentally changed advertising from a seller driven to a buyer driven, from cpm to auction and when that switch sort of was ignited, the revenue scaled exponentially and -- david: when was that, david? >> i think it was 2001 i remember, when salar actually told the team we were moving from cpm-priced ads to variable priced ads and i believe revenue went from 50 to $500 million within three quarters, and i think the next year about 1.6 billiondollars. then the birth of ad sense which changed their whole syndication business as well. liz: the business has morphed, hasn't it? dave girard, there was always that fear they become more successful and they would become middle-aged and uncool and no longer edgy. what was going on inside of the country to -- company to make sure that didn't happen? >> larry and sergey
4:29 pm
very beginning decided google would be different type of company. as it got big, there was assumption in the world it will mature and become risk-averse, staid sort of company. larry in particular was just adamant that was not going to happen at google. when he, when he became ceo, about three years ago i think he was really adamant about saying, you know we have a lot of resources. we're a wealthy company. we can actually take on more risk so he has really put all his energy making sure google doesn't become kind of a staid middle-aged company. david: david hirsch, actually both davids mothers were sort of questioning whether you made the right move. but wall street was also kind of reluctant to get in on google. they didn't have the foresight that you guys did and what it could become. did you ever have any arguments with investors about what google had they couldn't see? >> you know, i think wall street was, google kind of changed the game as far as company culture where they said, he you don't
4:30 pm
have to wear a suit to be productive. you don't have to be at your desk to get stuff done and don't have a do a road show way typical companies provide value to investors and end-users. david: investors were afraid, oh, my god, this is what happened with the dot-comers? >> i think google changed the game a little bit. staying power wins. i think with 10 years later and we're in google, still say we, six 1/2, seven years later. we they, we, they, are still innovating every day. pretty amazing story. liz: david girard laughed when you said we. coziness and testament to the culture of company. there are a lot of people right now would love to be google or hired by google. what is the one thing, what is the one characteristic people have to have to harness that kind of success or work there? >> i think sort of the core thing google is looking for in people is kind of intellectual curiosity. someone constantly trying to
4:31 pm
learn something new or do something new. this company respects experience it doesn't assume that because you've done something before you can do it here and do it well. it wants to reexplore every bit of its business, every bit of day-to-day business experience of the employees is being thought through and rethought through. people that have that sort of intellect and curiosity about everything, tend to fit in well at google. david: you guys look too young to be pioneers. you're the old-timers, it is amazing you guys still look young enough to be the new entrepeneurs. indeed you were there at the beginning. dave hirsch, dave girard, thanks to see you both, congrats. >> thank you. david: u.s. boating industry took a big hit during the financial crisis but now it is bouncing back. up next we talk to the country's largest recreational boat and yacht retailer. liz: violence in ferguson, missouri, has many police officers thinking about adopting new technology. look a lot already have wearable

4:38 pm
together, democrats and republicans voted in luxury tax. it was disaster. not only produced revenues it claimed it would produce but killed your industry, boat building industry. 25,000 jobs were lost. in light of what is happening about the richest and poorest and that divide being unattainable, do you worry something like that could come back again? >> well, thank you for reminding me for that bad news, the luxury tax. david: that is something you would probably rather forget forever, isn't it? >> i tried to forget it forever. hopefully that will not ever come back. you know, we serve a lot of customers with new and used boats and some of those are individuals that are middle class or below. boating is still the greatest recreation out there. it ink changes people's lives. and when you do that, by uniting people with their inner emotional self and also with their family and friends, guess what, you have a wonderful
