tv After the Bell FOX Business February 26, 2015 4:00pm-5:01pm EST
4:00 pm
split. [closing bell ringing] >> that's right. that was up six 1/2%. liz: put it in the record books as these numbers settle. if russell stays above the flat line. david: it is by 3.5 points, we have ourselves another record. dow didn't quite make it. bells playing on wall street. look at the nasdaq. nasdaq at 497, just 13 points away from 5000, david. >> j.c. parets says now is the screaming buy time for social stocks. liz: "after the bell" starts right now. david: we do have those earnings coming in any moment now but let's break down today's action so far with time lieden, from global trends investments. he tells us why it is time to move away from large cap stocks.
4:01 pm
rob is from jensen investment, calling for a rate hike before the end of the year. he has three plays ways to play it. alan knuckman in pits of cme. is this all about inflation which is way down again? >> it is really about the dollar. the dollar surged. euro currency down to 1.12 level. flirting with the recent lows at end of january. that put pressure on crude. for crude this is the only the third session in the month of february that closed below $50. that is an important pivot. i want you to step back look at things on weekly basis. look where we are at the end of the week. that is very important. liz: indeed. great for consumers when the chart starts to tick downward, tom. talk about how it affects the overall picture for the markets. we saw another record for the russell 2000. how much conviction is behind stocks at the moment in the u.s.?
4:02 pm
>> liz, i feel like i'm a broken record but you got to remain bullish. 4% decline in oil, keeping oil below $50 a barrel, that infuses extra money in your pocket for average investor and american. liz: one quick second, tom. we have gap numbers. jo ling kent has them. >> liz, that's right. we have a beat on eps. we have revenue coming in meeting street expectations coming in at $4.71 billion. the headlines from this earns report, one billion dollar share buyback from gap. same-store sales up 2%. we're seeing decent sales at old navy globally. that is of course their lower end fashion line. so we're looking at decent earnings report from gap. they beat on eps and they meet on revenue. liz: how about this, gap is seeing negative impact, david of about four percentage points due to delayed merchandise receipts
4:03 pm
at west coast port situation. david: the ports are hanging in there causing trouble all over the place although the stock is holding its own. it is up just a tick. keep in mind the gap shares have fallen. they have fallen 4.2% this year. down about 8% over the past 12 months. so it is time for an uptick in gap. rock, i want to go to you -- rob i want to go to you talk about what may be affecting stocks in general and that is concern about interest rates. we had another fed governor on earlier today with maria suggesting we'll have full employment by end of the year and probably a rate cut before then. what do you think? >> certainly full employment would be good news after seven years of very trying economic times, wouldn't it, david? i think the reason the fed is indicating interest rates likely to rise. not a question of, it is when, because the economy is fundamentally sound but that might put stress on companies that led the charge in the
4:04 pm
recent bull market. perhaps an opportunity for investors to become more defensive on the potential downside there. liz: well, that is the thing. protecting yourself on the downside. alan knuckman, we finished talking about puts and calls, i just wonder if you're looking at the market and individual names in your portfolio and you know interest rates are going to tighten, is that necessarily a thing that will be negative for stocks? >> no, not at all. i think market could react postively because the elephant is out of the room. liz: yeah. >> we've been talking about this exhaustively for years and years. a rate hike of a quarter of a percent, who cares? time to get more defensive because we've had such a move in three weeks, i'm looking at dow stocks that have been dogs. looking at coca-cola, microsoft and ge. ge has been getting a lot of interesting attention in the options puts lately. a lot of unusual option activity. that is sign that smart money is
4:05 pm
looking at moves. liz: such as what? >> they're looking at april 26 calls, buying 40,000 of those options. ge was number two most traded option contract yesterday in the equity market. it has been a stock stuck between 24 and 27. it has really done absolutely nothing. someone has feeling, strong opinion that some move is coming. a breakout above 28 is 32, which is about 20% higher. there is no risk in ge because it hasn't rallied with the market. i think there is more risk/reward potential in stocks like those. david: on the other hand, tom lieden is a little suspicious of big cap stocks now. why, tom? >> multiglobal, with currency fluctuation in developed countries it is more expensive for them to import our products, however, it does not mean it may not continue. however the biggest thing, if i take a second, we talk about janet yellen the fact she will
4:06 pm
be pull being the trigger, if you don't start making moves on the fixed income side between now and then, you will get burnt. there is one rock star that just entered the etf space, jeff dunlop, who entered with his own etf, partnered with state street this week. the state street double line total return tactical etf. david: tell us specifically, tell us what is in that etf. what kind of stocks are we talking? >> well, you're talking about all different types of bonds, not just conventional bonds with corporate and treasurys. david: bond etf. >> you have sovereign debt. you have emerging market high yield. those types of things where he can decide whether he is all-in or out. so totl. something to think because we haven't had this much excitement, especially in the fixed income etf area. liz: if you're less inclined to go with the large caps rob is going with pretty big names. rob you like dupont, you like
4:07 pm
accenture, unitedhealth group. why are you unafraid in those realms? >> the important thing we own companies with proven business models and very good returns on equity. so we build the portfolio one company at a time. as we think about big needle movers long term investors need to focus on, dupont, if you think about expertise in science, technology, feeding the world, we think that is a very compelling case. the same with accenture which leverages its expertise in globalization, technology expertise. liz: right. >> and business productivity, very, very compelling for the long term investors. liz: good chart. >> less interest rate sensitive. david: alan knuckman, this is the end of the chinese new year. folks in hong kong, elsewhere in asia are back. they're apparently buying gold. we suggested this may happen last week when gold was way down. maybe then was the time to get into it. without buying from china would gold have been down today?
4:08 pm
in fact some people suggesting it would have down big time without the buy from china. what do you say? >> i don't know who exactly is in play right now but the year of the sheep in case you're wondering. david: good to know. golden fleece. remember that. >> the more importantly to me how the market reacted with the strength of the dollar, gold was still positive holding above 1200. i think the risk is down to 1185. if we get back to 1225 you could see another round of short-covering. remember how that played into the marketplace a couple months ago. when everybody was getting short on gold it bounced up. i think psychology is ready for that one more time. david: interesting. liz: tom, what would you completely stay away from? >> right now i think utilities are in kind of a tough situation. again, when you think about interest rates and average investor, liz, just isn't prepared because we haven't seen it so long. yes, there is equity risk but earnings in general seem pretty good. i'm a little less optimistic
4:09 pm
about large cap. i really like small cap and i really like mid-cap right now because they will revert to the mean. liz: god, i hate interrupting tom. this is twice. we have jcpenney. sorry, tom. how did they do? >> jcpenney big miss on eps. earned nothing per share. the street was looking for 11 cents. revenue came in $3.89 billion. that is a beat of 3.87 the street was looking for. their store comps are up 4.4%. looking ahead to 2015, jcpenney says they plan to see three to 5% same-store sales traffic increase. so, slightly better news there but jcp really missing on eps. david: by the way we should mention there the stock is up 40% year-to-date. of course it had been beaten down terribly. our guy j.c. parets will be along get into, suggest you got in before the 40% pop. he was right on target. rob, let me ask about the
4:10 pm
consumer. we've seen better numbers with regard to wages by the consumer. of course they have more money in their pocket because of the gasoline savings but, hasn't really translated to a lot of buying, has it? >> not a huge amount yet. i think we've been through such a difficult period, david, with the great recession and financial crisis, people are focused on repaying debt. having said that, the outlook we believe certainly for the u.s. economy is fundamentally sound. certainly compared to the routes that the europeans took with austerity. so i think, longer term we're good but again, within the market exposure that investors look for, perhaps a time to be a little bit more defensive buying higher quality companies. liz: always, right? david: absolutely. liz: good to see awe of you. david: tom, alan knuckman we're back with you in couple minutes when s&p futures close. thank you, guys. liz: from hedge funds to buying a hockey team. now to expanding into a huge real estate project we have got
4:11 pm
the owner of the tampa bay lightning and part owner of the boston red sox, why he is turning his attention into real estate. david: sounds like a good bet. the fcc voted to regulate the internet. they did so this morning. it will have ripple effects all over the industry and all over the economy. we'll talk to one of two commissioners who voted against doing what the majority voted coming up. liz: mariah carey, nicki minaj, shaquille o'neil, just a few names that sell products on hsn and for good reason. that company, that channel, shipping 47 million orders last year. how do they keep their audience coming back for more? the supersecret tricks from the president bill brand straight ahead. ♪ but at t. rowe price, we've helped guide our clients through good times and bad. our experienced investment professionals are one reason over 85% of our mutual funds beat their

david: 20 seconds after the close of s&p futures head back to alan knuckman. any signs of what might happen tomorrow? >> whole lot of nothing. unchanged after all that. they say never sell quiet market. buyers step up, to breakout point of 2100. everything remains solid but we did not make new highs. that is the big news. liz: s&p did not. thank you, alan knuckman. david: from working for the

4:18 pm
tampa bay doesn't. boston bigger in arts. what does boston that you like to bring to tampa to put in this development? >> you know, tampa bay is a buy. boston is a great place. i loved living there but this area down here the last five years have been the best five years of my life. bought the team five years ago. moved here 2 1/2 years ago. my wife, my family. we all absolutely love it. quality of life here, don't underestimate how difference that makes versus new england for some years. midwest, other areas, great quality of life here. weather is good. commuting times are reasonable. cultural is very good. david: must be missing something compared to boston. what is it missing that you would like to bring there? >> we like to make it bigger and better. we think we're creating in downtown tampa, a great gathering spot. boston has several of them.

4:29 pm
available. i have to ask you, how affected were you by the ports problem on the west coast? if you're shipping 47 million things, some of these things have to be made overseas? do you see any effect of that? >> we had very little impact with the port. we're pleased issue is resolved. for the most part we operate our business real time. we could manage around it. so our supply chain team did a fabulous job. it has been resolved. liz: here is the pedal skirt and daphne shell blouse. >> this, what we do build partnerships n case of entertainment, disney, we have three-year embedded relationship. we're the marketing partner for the opening of the movie. we have expertise in talking to women in marketing. our customers not just shop with us, they see the movie. disney proven that out. we're now a long term partners of disney. we're working on a movie for next may. liz: you guys are looking for the next iteration. you're doing original content,

4:36 pm
white house took a very active role in creating these rules, most of which we still don't know what's in there. here's what your republican colleagues said earlier, a couple weeks ago. he said, the white house and particularly white house aides have been running a parallel fcc. would you agree with that? >> i believe that this administration had undue influence on this item we just adopted today. i think it is unprecedented in my 20 years experience. i think it is problematic going forward for our independent agency and what it means for internet and internet experience of consumers. david: tom wheeler, lead commissioner, sort of lead guy promoting new regulations, do you think he felt bullied even though democrat and ally of the president? >> well i think you can read, found a number of stories that indicated that he had a different path that he was headed on. until the president and administration weighed in and they then switched course. that did have influence in terms
4:37 pm
of my take on this, because he did change course because of that. so he did have to change where he was going. david: wow. now the secrecy of these regulations is has no precedent either. it is just remarkable. in fact even barack obama, when he was a senator, back in 2007, spoke against kind of secrecy that surrounded these new rules and regulation. he said, and i quote him, congress and the public have the right to review any specific proposal and decide whether or not it constitutes sound policy. now clearly times have changed. doesn't believe that anymore. i understand there are still secret, even though they voted in favor of the regulation, we the public still can't see them. is that right? >> that's right. we adopted rules this morning but they won't be available for days or potentially weeks. this is something that is problematic from my viewpoint. i advocated we make those items publicly available when circulated to commissioners which occurs three weeks before a meeting.
4:38 pm
so i think we should that with all open meeting items. that would occur, especially in this case talking about such an important item. david: now we can glean a little bit, based on what tom wheeler, commissioner wheeler said. >> sure. >> he wrote a piece in wired magazine a couple weeks ago. he said my proposal includes a general conduct rule that can be used to stop new and novel threats to the internet. a lot of people are concerned what that means, or what might end up meaning the fcc will have some control over content on the internet. of course they don't now. does that concern you? >> no, it absolutely does concern me because of the breadth of rules we adopted today could go to every aspect of the internet. when you're talking about the impact, not only deployment, it is investment. investment leads to consumer experiences. so i am extremely worried how far and how engaged the commission will be on the entire aspect of the internet. david: what happens, i mean one of the great things about the
4:39 pm
free flow of information and ideas and new projects on the ininternet, it grows and develops organically. that may stop now. >> well, it certainly can be pinch by our actions today. you highlighted general conduct rule, so amore furs and so vague, it will give the commission broad authority to look at every aspect of the internet wife i don't remember by a broadband provider that will have the impact on what the internet looks like going forward. david: what happens now -- we know there have been attempts to do similar, not as broad as this attempts by fcc before. they were taken to court. >> that's right. david: as i understand it twice courts rejected those proposals. are they likely to reject them this time? >> yes. all indications are that broadband providers, a number of different sectors will challenge these decision, challenge our decision today in court in very near future. david: and one final question, the republicans, for my money their response has been pretty
4:40 pm
halfhearted. we had john thune, senator, talk about why he is not going to be challenging this by congressional vote. he said it look, unless we can get any democrats we're not even going to bother to bring it to them. does it bother you republicans are not doing more to object to these new rulings? >> i think senator thune has been a leader on this issue. i think he is pointing out realities of what how congress is operating at this moment but he has been strongly concerned about the impacts of our decision and going forward. i know we'll have a congressional hearing in a couple weeks that will get to articulate these views and his views stronger going forward. david: fcc commissioner michael o'rielly, commissioner, thank you very much for coming. >> thank you so much for your time. david: please come back again. >> absolutely. david: we've been asking you by the way if you think the fcc got it right or wrong today? dave said it is purely political. has nothing to do with technical or other soundness there.
4:41 pm
