you here. you know, these -- these threats of additional staffs basically attacking everything that china imports. that's a negotiating tactic to get china to the table or no? >> l well that's what we're told lauren we've been told that tariffs were negotiating tactic for months now. but the market as you pointed out really sold off yesterday sold off quite hard a swing of 900 point right after news of the potential new tariffs break and it because as you said these are taxes on americans over 4 billion dollars has been collected for americans going to the government and some companies ranging from ford to honda to kat pill la to harley-davidson have mentioned specifically costing them money and putting dengt in the stock market without a question. m i mentioned earlier rebecca that 43% of stocks in the s&p 500 are now in a bare market 76% in correction territory as jonathon noted so many companies

are warning this potential trade war is hurting us or at least we fear that it will hurt us in the form of rising cost. do you think the president is listening to any of that? >> i think that president trump wants a successful economy more than probably anything else xepght for maybe the caravan. [laughter] but the truth is you know, we are always going to have short-term reverberation globalization in united states and china in order to correct any mistrade policy that we might have had in last dozens of years. we with treat china sometime like a third world country in trade policies i think president trump is very clear this needs to change, and so yeah, bloomberg report yesterday did swing the market absolutely jonathon is right. but at the same time i think president trump is trying to negotiate from position of strength and reminding chinese that we have more room to go if we need to. >> that bloomberg report hit the market hard yesterday but futureses are higher this morning jonathon do you think it was maybe an overreaction?

yesterday now cool or heads are prevailing? >> lauren we know that -- a lot of factors impacting the market threats about tariffs also questions about earnings slowing growth and fangs you know was mentioned a moment ago. the influence of these technology stocks i don't think can be underestimated the fact that facebook earnings coming out momentarily hit a 52-week low yesterdays and weakness in amazon weakness in names that have buoy withed market for years now to met that says that this trend although a terrific october i don't think we've reached a bottom just yet. >> that's what a lot of people are questioning where is the bottom does this correction become a bare market become a rewhat are where are thoughts on that rebecca? >> gosh i hope not. i'm not ready for it and projecting it but nobody is right we're thinking this is a blip and i'm hoping this is a blip. you, obviously, one thing to mention about about amazon and i notice they didn't want to quantify effect of the 15-hour

minimum wage that goes into effect november the first and reflected in q4 earnings so we have to take into effect there's talk about let's have higher minimum wage and these are fore profit companies and these action dos have an impact. so that is one thing i think people aren't talking about is that kind of policy has an effect on bottom line and that's what we're seeing is q4 is not good and, obviously, we're worried. but i'm going to say it is a blip for now and not the correction yet, no. >> yeah minimum wage is another form of inflation as we've been discussing how that hits the markets. rebecca, with jonathon, thank you. >> thank you. >> i'm with rebecca on that one. hopefully it is a blip and a taking a look at futures right now and we have a green start to your tuesday. we have that wild 900 point swing on yesterday but up, s&p up 7 and three quarters nasdaq up 18. coming up, american diplomats

actually damaged in earthquake last career. but yet they've opened it their doors you see migrants that have just made a home for the night. now they'll start waking up here they're expected to get up and depart at a 5 a.m. departure they say for the next town. about 30 miles away and locals offered to give what we're being told is 11 buss to help them move. again this group wants to ultimately get to mexico city perhaps by the end of the week and ultimately to united states i'm not sure if they'll make it to mexico city but we with talked to l vis one in this caravan about the president's position and sitting troops to border here's what he had to say. >> why with were you deported? >> because i got election and -- he got arrested. yeah. do you hear president trump announced he's going to put 5,000 troops on the border to stop the caravan. what do you think? will it stop you? >> i think that's a problem for

me and everybody here but i want to go there. 5,000 troops won't stop you you'll still go. >> yes i want to go over there. nobody can stop me. nobody can stall these people. >> unless you can get asylum will you consider crossing illegally? >> yes. yes. >> the group has about a thousand or so that have actually decided to take mexico temporary asylum offer but by and large group still moving here in not really losing steam at all as they get help from mexican towns from relief organizations, and others in the wake of the the president administration saying don't come. lauren and cheryl. >> all right traveling with that caravan, thank you very much. and now back to one of our other top stories this morning that is your market we're truly coming off a manic monday dow industrials turned to a loss monday after a 900 point swing in today, the head spinning

swaying showing and how fragile market is and how easily rattled when it comes to technology and, of course, we've got facebook reporting after the bell let's add that into all of the fun and bring in for more fun scott of tgm of europe and good morning. >> good morning. good morning. yeah, scott i want to start with you from trader technical and in correction and dow and s&p are flirting with correction right now from a technical perspective scott what does this say to you? >> well that's what we do is when we don't have a great reason for the selloff and nothing is new out there. to push us lower like we have as of late we run into technical go into closet to get the map and get a flashlight out and technicals are weak and try to make another push lower but that's okay we're moving stocks from weekends so strong ends and let's say we take another five or so percent off the s&p and less than sepght 2017 level so it's okay. we have room to go down and stocks are allow to go down.

for all of you that want to normalize interest rates we have to normalize volatility and used tore a lot more. we have a generation of trade arers that vice president seen it like this before. >> those young kids this is what they -- [laughter] i'm sure enjoying this today. but he makes interesting points and question mark about what the fed will do or not do ins december maybe they'll hold up. and administrative hike but fang really quick because if you look at peaks from 2018 they lost about 800 to 2400 billion in market cap now you can say look that is money on paper. and that stocks go up and down but that has a lot of average investors and really nervous about their overall portfolios. >> sure. i think really what's going on here e, though, is that -- the yield curve is still steep so if you look at banker earnings their net interest margins are positive banks in the short end of the curve lend long into the curve so in terms of the banks i won the be concerned as more big molt tomb

and growth sector of the market as well such as technology. >> looking at other sectors, you know, it is scott he makes great point technology starts at the only stocks that we can actually trade scott. but also, you there's been a lof talk for amazon and apple that those are crowded trade right now that there's just too much money into the stock and we need to kind of diversify a little bit and that's a traders perspective as well as investor. >> you're exactly right and want to hear from those we trade weaver day when we have this earth shake a little bit and folks run for doors things that can hit most is things with highest multiples that are out of whack so they're one like amazon that get to back in line with with 15 and other stocks from s&p 500, so it's not crazy. it is okay, we have to take a step become and say this is what happens when stocks are alads to go down and make your muscle stronger when you break them down and build them back up again and continue this rally

i'm not nervous yet. we haven't seen capitulation so we can go lower but that is going to be okay. >> we have not capitulated that is a great point to bring out to average person out there. you'll know capitulation when you see it i'm giving up selling my book it is over. but that's not happening really quick ian last word i want switch gears week away from the midterms analysts have been saying normally gridlock in washington is good for markets but this year is different ian and many analysts are saying if we do, if republicans lose the house, to democrats, next week, that's actually boing to be a market negative, what diewngs do you think about that sentiment? >> i don't necessarily agree with that. i think that gridlock is good for the markets we really have cut corporate tax rates down to 21%. i think you see the democrats sweep the house and a the senate you'll see a more of a bipartisan push for infrastructure plan which i think market will really, really love.

so i think that a democratic wave actually would be a positive for the market and i know this is counterintuitive to what it was. >> it was the narrative two years ago and here we are right now history up eded again thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thank you. google employees are mad at their company and they are reportedly planning a protest. smtion tracee carrasco has that story and some other headlines. good morning again tracee. >> google employees are reportedly manning walkout because they are not happy with ceo response to a report about the company handling alleged sexual harassment by executives. according to buzz feed more than 200 google engineers are participating protest may happen on thursday and organizers reportedly have a list of requests for google to consider. and google will likely consider them because they listen to their employees. as we've seen in many episodes. >> go from google to twitter this is fascinating if i that may be doing e away with one of

their major feature that we all know. >>ceo jack dorsey said it coulde getting rid of the heart shape button to improve and according to dorsey made comments last week the a twitter event no official word on this this other than a tweet from the -- company communications team, the like button replaced favorite button three years ago forgot about about that. >> all right. i don't even get ow that would encourage debate. anyway. not sure. okay what are americans doing apparently with old phone because we have old phones on the the set according to -- they do. and according to data from third quarter that's a mobile device trading company, consumers are waiting an average of 2.83 years to upgrade their smart phones that is up from 2.39 years just two years earlier. so price your devices, fewer

subsidies from carrier and end of those two year cell phone contracts have all led to this. da it also found that ieg phones traded in for an average of 2.92 years old and those phone owns held on to them longer than android users so keeping their cell phones longer. i will say with apple their services the the app store a l music, analysts are are saying that's actually going to create revenue. for somebody like an apple versus newer phones and -- us turning over. >> they have small dirchtions as we upgrade our phones to me more or less the same. i hang on to my phone. i can wait three years. i don't know about you guys. >> thank you very much. thanks. let's check future this is morning before we led to break dow is firmly higher standing 36 and s&p up 5 point nasdaq has turned lower. facebook earnings on deck, many analysts are negative on that stock nasdaq down half a point right now it could go positive i'll keep talking but i won't

stuff. s she's not afraid couple of names for you state attorney josh halle is challenging her for her senate soot that is next week, of course. well the war of plastic is war of paper. several u.s. companies are rolling out a ban on paper cups. that includes goldman sachs, company says its u.s. offices consume more than 8 million nonrecyclable cup and lids per year and ban will hopefully reduce their impact on the environment. and finally check this out a fire hydrant gushing water sen stories into the air this happened after a car slams into it on a busy street in downtown l.a. luckily nobody was hurt only the fire hydrant got a little bit damaged this morning. there you go. [laughter] well before we go to break after yesterday's big volatility and major swing with to the upsiding right now. the dow is higher by 67 that continues to build s&p up 8 and nasdaq has turned positive it is up 14 points.

coming up next, governor scott walker is now trying to hold on to his seat in wisconsin. but now some of his own former cabinet members are turning against him. >> i was scott walker cabinet secretary for the department of corrections. under scott walker dpght of corrections, has only 18 people tracking 25,000 sex offenders. >> all eyes on wisconsin for this must watch race. and the u.k. wants to slay a new tax on tech giants like facebook and a google, and it could cost them millions of dollars we're going to go live to london for reaction.

medicaid expansion dollars so up 50% versus premiums for minnesota. so people are paying more for premium gettingless and paying taxes in to the government and not getting the benefits. so that's where the the problem is. and all of their politics as you well know lauren -- >> minnesota has democratic gern and premiums are up in that state than in wisconsin. walker is also argued for a state based solution, for guaranteeing coverage a lot of republicans now soften their stance on health care. so he's argue aing for a state based solution to guarantee coverage with those with preexisting conditions chris over just guaranteeing them under obamacare how do you think that is playing out in the state? >> what governor has done is not just him but take legislature to work together. he's put that before the legislature himself but he's one
