4:01 pm
let's get you today's market action. bob the spectra management group, don't fear the rate hike. why. joe on why you the investor would love for europe to help the us market. let's start with mark sebastian at the cme. mark, why this sell-off? is this the start of sell in may and might we see people go away? >> i feel like it's our weekly one off sell-off and then we get the rally out of it. we've been stuck in this pretty tight range now for about six weeks. if you really pay attention. the highs have been about the same level. but we've been hitting higher lows. i do think we're slightly coiling higher. while we figure out this kind of rate scenario, as i've been saying for months, is going to end up no rate hike in june. we will kick out of it. once we break 2120, move to 20 and a half. we didn't clear anywhere
4:02 pm
near the lows of the day. there didn't seem to be a lot of push through. the vix didn't move on this. a lot of fears of, is draghi going to nqe early. a lot of it is unfounded. we'll get through those tomorrow to kind of clear up a lot of that. >> we're somewhat range bound. we had a guest on yesterday who said you should look for the dips. he said this is hardly a correction. and you're bullish, even though a majority of companies reporting so far in the s&p 500 have missed their revenue estimates. isn't that a sign of revenue coming? >> obviously it's more backward looking than forward. if you talk about this quarter of earnings, no doubt it wasn't a very good quarter. as we know, the market is mostly about expectation, not just what the companies have done, but what were the expectations. we came into this quarter, downward revisions from analysts
4:03 pm
until the beginning of this quarter's earning season, they had the largest downward revision since 2008. so expectations were very low, mostly due to the narrative how the strong dollar was hurting the company. the quarter was not good, but expectations weren't good as well. the market has hung in there quite a bit. we didn't see a sell-off jawbz thselloffbecause the expectations were low. >> when will we see a rate hike? you say that prospect has the markets on the move, whether it's up or down. why? >> liz, i think the first quarter gdp growth as we all know is quite weak. >> right. >> it pushed back any -- >> can i ask you, do you think first quarter gdp, the revisions that we might get will contract, that we'll see negative? >> i think it's quite possible. but i think as we get into the second and third quarter, i think we'll see growth that exceeds expectation. net for the year, we'll end up kind of like last
4:04 pm
year. okay. with not great growth. but growth. not a recession, by far. >> okay. but, bob, if the fed does start raising interest rates in september, even by a small bit. liquidity problems. the banks have higher reserve requirements. doesn't that bode a problem for equities in the united states? >> actually i don't think so. when you look at the ten-year and out, the long end of the curve, i don't think it will move. when you look at europe and all the money printed by the ecb. and japan on top of that. and the interest rates in the u.s. the ten-year bond in the us is substantially higher than any other country with much better credit. so i think other parts of the world, their activity is driving cash this way. which will keep our rates capped. and we will see the earnings yield in the s&p at five and a half, really move towards the ten-year treasury. >> all right. liz: let me get back to mark as bestian in the pits. suddenly, we have the
4:05 pm
metals moving higher. which is weird. (?) you have energy looking pretty good today. is it time for commodities maybe to rear their heads? >> yeah, what we've noticed in the last two months is crowded trades have just been crushing the lemming. everyone late to the trade is getting pound. a lot of people who got long bonds when they were 1.8 yields. all the people that were shorting the euro at 105. and we are just seeing that at gold. gold got completely overdone. it belongs closer to 1250 than 1100 an ounce. that's because the dollar doesn't belong at parity right now. probably belongs right here. a stable dollar probably allows for the metals to rebound and continue a move at least a bit higher. i don't think we'll see the massive rally they want. i think we should move higher. >> let's move from metals to what stocks we should be picking. joe, you're big on
4:06 pm
consumer discretionary. i want to point out. although it's not necessarily consumer discretionary. some of your picks. love car max. they were down today. monsanto was down today. so where would you be directing money? >> yeah, you're exactly right. i like the consumer discretionary space. a lot of talk about the consumer saving money from the energy savings. they haven't necessarily gone out and spent that money. a lot of it in savings. you look at car max, perhaps that savings will be put to work as the weather gets nicer here. the charts look strong. performance has been good. and monster beverage, a lot of peiz pessimism towards those names. a lot of short sellers targeting those names. perhaps higher prices from that sector as well. >> one of the names in solar. you have sunpower. i believe buffett has some type of deal with
4:07 pm
sunpower. he's doubling down on wind and solar. he said this weekend, he said i want to be everywhere. whether it's electric or coal or oil. he just wants to spread it around. >> yeah. if you're playing it from a pure diversification standpoint, that's another angle. we focus a lot on sectors that have low expectations. and perhaps he's betting on lower evaluations, perhaps considered to their upside. and i think whether regardless the analysis, i think both of the analysises are correct. >> great to see all of you. mark sebastian giving us great ideas and thoughts. >> oil jumping again. closing at $60 a barrel. crude takes off. so have gas prices. they have risen 16-point days. highest average of the year. >> how much higher will prices go? with us, michael green, aaa gas price analyst. what will we be paying
4:08 pm
in the summer? >> we are at a crossroads with gas prices. even oil. everything hinges with what happens with crude oil. that has made gasoline a lot more expensive than what we saw earlier this year. the rally this spring has been 60 cents per gallon. the largest springtime rally since 2012. so right now, there's a good case to be made for both higher and lower prices. which sort of suggest that prices will be where they are today in the summer. if gas prices stay below $3 a gallon. like we expect. the national average to stay below that price, most consumers will be paying the cheapest gas price of the season for five years. it could be longer. >> you have no skin in the game. the question i'm about to ask other than being an analyst for aaa on the gas prices. over at citi. they were calling for oil to fall for $20 a barrel. they missed it. why would the driver believe anything they hear from analysts on the price or oil or
4:09 pm
necessarily the price of gas? >> you know, you look out there, and it seems like analysts are at their most divergent place they've ever been on gasoline. some people are talking about $30 a barrel. ninety dollars a barrel. we're really at a strange place where we have an abundant supply of oil and gasoline in this country. record supplies. that's not going away any time soon. people are talking about the fact that us growth has begun to slow. that's been the main reason why oil prices are up. some people are worried that oil prices have begun to slow at home. as a result, going forward, gas prices should be a little bit higher. but, you know, right now there's more than enough for supply to meet demand. it's possible we could see gas prices a little bit higher because there's this momentum in the market right now. if you look at the real fundamentals. we should be paying cheaper gas prices going forward. i don't know that will
4:10 pm
happen. >> who is getting slammed? who is getting the good end of the deal? where are the most expensive gasoline prices and then the cheapest around the nation? >> well, toad's national average is 3.63 a gallon. that's a vast disparity. >> exactly. hawaii is expensive. >> if you're in the southeast, probably in the 2.30. 2.40. the majority of gas prices are under 2.50 a gallon. in california, the west coast, they've skyrocketed. california, 3.70. their prices have jumped 60 cents in three weeks. that is an incredible jump. it comes down to refinery problems. actually crude oil isn't the problem in california. it comes down to refinery problems. explosion outside a refinery in los angeles. that's continuing to cause problems for the region. >> the summer blend. great to see you. thank you so much.
4:11 pm
>> thank you for having me. liz: the force seems to be with disney as the stock hits an all-time high. will this cinderella story continue? our panel tries to point them out before you get burned. >> the next time you apply for a job, you'll be competing against a robot possibly. more than 1 million are expected to be put to work in the next ten years. can the work force keep up? and are any industries or your jobs safe? >> plus eat up, panera cleans up its menu saying it will eliminate 150 artificial ingredients from its menu. who knew there were that many in its menu. the big changes and what the ceo is planning next to make the menu even healthier. we're talking to him. ♪

4:19 pm
sides, it's because of the machines. >> i think it's because of the machines. (?) when you see what's happening to the classical american worker, the middle, the 50th percentile, their income hasn't increased in 15 years. the percentage of gdp paid out in profits is at an all-time high. the percentage given to wages is at a low. things are different. tech progress is one of the reasons why. >> so ten years we have you back to talk about where we stand with this revolution. in the next ten years, we have some statistics about how this will happen in the united states. what will happen to the people who lose their jobs to the robots? >> this will be an unbelievably interesting time. i look at the advancements in robots. artificial intelligence. my brain hurts when i project it forward. i don't think we're in a zero labor economy in a decade at all. i think a lot of professions, doctor, lawyer, accountant, a lot of professions will

(?) to disney. glitches, what could it be, gary? >> i don't see any. i like how you threw the "frozen" in there when you were talking about it. i think they actually have more potential. first of all, i own disney. so i'm a big fan. they have marvel. that is obviously now the big franchise. >> "avengers," huge.
4:29 pm
>> they got the star wars coming out. they've shown that they really know how to do synergy. i saw that. was down at the park. they're tying in "frozen" with the epcot stuff. if they tie in marvel and all their abc and all that stuff, they're a monster. >> bob, star wars. the critics will be out. what if there's a slight stumble with star wars? >> listen, the last good star wars movie o was 1983. there is risk here. a lot of people are expecting so much out of disney. the marketing -- there could be a little hiccup. but content is really king. especially as the distribution pipelines and the time shifting. and disney has the content. it won't be a terrible stumble. >> cord cutting. you have to look at espn. what if people are given the choice. i know there's a lawsuit with verizon that wants to bundle into tinier bundlbundles.
4:30 pm
>> espn is not one of the components of the disney story that i worry about. i think the parks can be an interesting and maybe not a good story in the next few months. travel hasn't picked up as much as we would like to see in particular at disney. they have the issues with illnesses at the park in particular in florida. so there's problems there. as far as "frozen," i think parents all over the world were rolling their eyes. oh, great. here's another movie that will probably show at some point. but for the company, that franchise will do nothing, but do well. they also have these new characters coming out as well. i think disney is a great story. >> let's flip to new media. netflix hitting an all-time high. amazon announces prime members will be able to stream free on jetblue flights. that's only the beginning. are either of these players overstretched? netflix pe is 160. amazon's is 169.

4:54 pm
preservatives from its foods by the end of next year. what's behind the big changes? panera's founder, ceo, i think your stuff was healthy on the first place. >> we've been on a two decade journey to make it better, and it doesn't stop here. . >> 1 15 no. no. foods on the list, what's in here that you're banning now? >> a full range of things. a whole bunch of things that you and i can't pronounce, things that should be added to the supply chain. our perspective, we knew that simpler food was better. >> uh-huh. >> i think that's what all of your new transitional advicers are telling you, the national resources, defense counsel, we spoke to the union of concerned scientists, we looked to the u standards, we wanted to get a comprehensive list of what we want to not
4:55 pm
serve our guests. and think of it as a housekeeping approval, and when consumers come to panera, they know it's good food . >> and were they demanding it? stewart always gets upset and he always says, oh, they're just responding to the pc police or the food police. this seems a little bit different. it sounds like your heart is in the right place here. >> i've been on stewart's show and i've debated with him, and i do have a heart, unlike stewart -- but at any rate, the reality for us to test for all of this is i've got a 16-year-old daughter, and i have an 11-year-old son. >> right. >> and the reality is i want them to eat this way. so let me say some of the things the list. there's bromated flower, acid,
4:56 pm
then i saw lard, which in my world, you can't make chop liver without it, so i'm not eating the chop liver. but in the end, you know, everybody wants to be healthier, and they should if they're not because obesity really does cause cost to employers and, you know, hurts people's health in some ways. so you're taking a leadership role here. how much further will you go? >> we're going to keep pushing it. i mean this is an 11 year journey. 11 years ago we pulled chicken without antibiotics, and it was very clear that that was the right thing to do. five years ago we were the first national chain to post chloric information, we didn't know the government to tell us, and then this is the next
4:57 pm
step, today we're announcing the no. no. list. we're going to keep working against it, you're going to see more whole grains in our breads, you're going to see us continue to try to lower the sodium level, or continue to try to address the issues of sugar. we want to go part of the solution not the problem. that's how we built this company. >> it costs money sometimes to do these recalling. will that cost be pushed off onto the customer, what can we expect? >> it's just really difficult to do, but it doesn't actually cost a lot more money generally. >> uh-huh. >> maybe with the exception of the proteins. the reality is when we first did antibiotic free, everything thought we were nuts, the consumer responded and we started to see the market and the prices in the market go down. and ultimately 11 years later, it makes sense for mcdonald's and tyson to announce that they're going at least part way to antibiotic free, and we
4:58 pm
want to be part of the solution and this is the way we change things by taking a step. >> right. >> and then we watch the market forces play out. >> well, you're just under $4 below your # 52 week high, the business has obviously been good this year. i'm going to go to panera. i'm going to check it out. i go there often, but i want to see the change, and it will all be done by 2016. >> go try the new salad or the kale power salad. it's great. >> i wanted the muffin. >> you can eat the muffin. >> panera bread founder and ceo, this is what the trend seems to be with chipotle, mcdonald's -- >> yeah. he said it best. he has a daughter who is 16 and a son who is younger and the kids want this kind of food. >> all right. we turned to john chambers after 20 years at the helm of cisco, we've intrude him so many times, and john chambers announced that
4:59 pm
he would be stepping down later year. i got a chance to speak with him later today with the weather important warmer in new york as a veteran of the tech industry, i also asked him about the wave of broadband an area that's been debated, here's what he said. >> whether it's comcast with one of the players that pursued, whether it's at&t with directv, i personally believe that you need about three to four competitors and that's all you really need in a marketplace that will allow enough competition so that we as consumers get very good prices, but also make the money so that they can invest in the future. so my view is that the directv, at&t is a good move, but i had the same view about comcast and time warner.
