3:00 pm
listen to nancy, i think she is spot on. always a pleasure, thank you so much. starting the week off really nice, everything that we've talked about, i think the dip in lower is a story, people are not as afraid as they were in liz claman just a week ago. >> i just looked, great minds are melting, it's up three or 4%, i think that it strains considering we have a solid rally, you and nancy were just talking about gamestop we have to get to the wild action gamestop shares, were looking at this from a different prism wall street is cracking open the knockout march jobs report egg that the easter bunny dropped off on friday with the jobs report, there is a sweet rally spilling out filled with record highs as we head into the final hour, so sweet that even gamestop shares are having trouble staying underwater, the
3:01 pm
reddit rebel favorite has been down as much as 16%. early this morning after announcing it is ready to take advantage of the reddit rally in the sky high stock price. gamestop is down under 4% even the shares have jump 900% since january. his robinhood retail investor crowd still in danger? it doesn't even matter if you trade on a different platform than robinhood work and asked the man who run one of the largest trading platforms in the world in a fox business exclusive former tv ameritrade joe on what we have and have not learned from the main stock mania, monster weekend at the box office godzilla versus kong, the biggest audience since the pandemic began but did that success trigger a new battle that sets the stage for the warhead between movie theaters and hollywood moviemakers.
3:02 pm
and the entertainment ceo adam aron is here and a fox business exclusive on cinema versus streaming. in one week later the ship that blocked the suez canal finally free but your coffee and toilet paper might still be stuck, enter blue yonder whose artificial and to intelligence could be the genius that swooped up the supply chain nightmares we begin with a fox business alert. check out the nasdaq, we have risk, we are jumpy 218 points or more than 1.6% right now for both tech and the broader market in any game for the s&p and the transports will mean new record closes but as retail investors pile into the markets right now it will soon be two months since vlad ceo of online trading robinhood along with suitable founder ken griffin in short seller star trader keith gill and reddit ceo steve huffman
3:03 pm
this after reddit retail traders were belled in squeeze big funds that were shorting or betting against gamestop in amsi and in turn got squeezed by their own brokerage temporarily which shut down the ability to buy more shares. at this hour the wall street reddit room flexing its muscle again with gamestop and as i mentioned shares of the videogame retailer are down under 4% on the news that the company will sell $1 billion worth of shares but shares have been down much more this morning, does this mean individual investors finally have the same advantages as the wall street probes and they're back in the game, and a business insider title low-cost brokers like robinhood are quietly screwing screen over the users. and jonathan macy says the little guy is still not getting a fair shake, he would better off paying a trade commission because there be no conflict or pressure from wall street
3:04 pm
middleman, the trading platform for years td ameritrade and ceo and chairman joe moglia. great to have you on. let's get to this did congress do anything to get retail investors and in bbo or national bested an offer, did they improve anything with a hearing to month ago? >> the answer is no but there wasn't too much of an issue as far as that goes. you remember the issue you expressed to a minute ago, what happened specifically with the short squeeze, did somebody actually benefit from that and what happened when robinhood had their problem and had to stop trading. i think we go back to the actual hearings a month or so ago, vlad did a good job of explaining that griffin did a good job expanding the position that citadel was in and at the end of the day what they did they emphasize how important it was in the look into it more deeply but nothing has happened since then as far as that goes.
3:05 pm
liz: marketmakers which citadel is they help keep the market functioning, they are crucial if you want to buy a stock they are there to have the stock available to sell to you but they pay robinhood and other brokerages to see the order flow from the gang like the wall street best reddit crowd that's where macy said a payment for overflow was eliminated commission for discount brokers would likely return but even with a commission of $7 per trade macy says the retail customer is better off without payment for order flow, is that true? >> i don't think three to investor is better than they were today. specifically why don't i play investor for a moment, i want to buy a stock. i go to my broker, i buy the stock the broker takes it to the market and makes it, the market make sure has a good offer spread and he gives it to the broker he keeps a piece of that, that's his profit, what to get back is the payment, the broker
3:06 pm
decides that he wants to keep that or they want to give that to the actual investor. at a place like schwab 92% of the time they're getting improve pricing, at ameritrade when i was there on the amount ameritrade kept versus what the individual investor got it was three and a half - 1 ratio on the half of the individual investor. at the end of the day the individual investor get to guarantee best price in the marketplace most of the time they get price improvement and they pay nothing for that that is super civil for them to do. behind the scenes there is incredible infrastructure and regulatory issues and there is incredible technology that cost a gazillion dollars the payment flow help that. so the client for free gets price improvement, i think that's a pretty good deal for everybody. liz: we are cycling through some of the mean stocks reddit crowd and the investors have gone
3:07 pm
bonkers for we showed amc we have the ceo of amc entertainment adam aron coming up an exclusive because they had a weekend with godzilla versus kong that is up 12% yes some of the others, gamestop as we mentioned, nokia they're moving slightly lower, did you see anything dangerous about what happened with the crowd and as we look at what's happening this very moment the dow jones industrial up 350 points we have a roaring rally, you worried it alter the individual investor. >> i grew up in the institutional side of the business. for the last 20 years is the welfare for the individual investor, when i worry about them i'm always worried, having said that they do have a greater opportunity today to be better prepared and understand the risk reward they have ever been with the lowest possible price. when the whole reddit thing
3:08 pm
happen and they did their homework and they were and they realize they could create a short squeeze and learn something from that but there's a way that he could get burn where he would not of gotten burned in the past and the individual invested better than that, where we have a problem is some point in time the market always turns around the stock has to come back in the individual investor has to be better prepared for that. wall street can do a better job in preparing the individual investor for that. liz: you're never out of the game, i want to get to that in a second but very quickly the ceo of robinhood is instant settlement of trades would solve all of the problem, yes or no. >> yes it will help immensely because you will have as much volatility in the stock of volatility that creates an increase in the deposit that the brokers gotta pay and has to have an robinhood did not have that that's why they were in
3:09 pm
trouble. liz: you're getting into the game you have a blank check company looking for a target, you've got a tell me right now there's a lot of stories how there's quite a few specs that have lunch since the first of the year that are trading at 96 cents on the dollar instead of 1 dollar. i don't know 298 and 2021 alone. >> here's the deal by the middle of march collected 2020, the 520's fax, their ipos, the whole purpose is to get a private company and bring them public. of the 520, 107 were announced of the hundred and seven were announcers only seven that are profitable, we are ready done and announced a deal of the seven of the profitable they are
3:10 pm
the most profitable. you gotta be careful especially the individual investor most of the stocks are going to go out of business that you don't care the individual investor should not worry about the spac ipo you focus on the merger candidate in the opt five of the world do they make sense will they be a good company for you to be invested in a long time, the answer is yes give a pretty good deal, do not get sidetracked by all the noise, 520 ipos irrelevant, the ones that they're coming with regard to the actual merger that's what matters, do your homework and make the right decisions. liz: what's old is new again, good advice, so good to see you and thank you very much for joining us, you look well my friend, thank you. >> likewise, take care. >> a collective cheer from hundreds of publicly traded companies from nike to caterpillar whose cargo was stuck for days in a mammoth traffic jam in the mouth of the suez canal. the bottleneck that cost 400

ever given container ships, that's its name now clear from the critical trade artery but international supply chains still in disarray at this hour as companies scramble american supply chain software from blue yonder swept in with artificial intelligence to create emergency action plans ceo is finally coming up for air over at blue yonder, you have to tell me do i assume that everything is great and things are rolling along and everything's fine and things of been clear. >> that afternoon and yes we are all relieved as our customers are that shipments have started to move and the vessels have started to move. were tracking 43 vessels, 453 shipments that are stuck there but the impact is not a couple of weeks, this will be a
3:12 pm
six-month impact both upstream and downstream. liz: tell me at the height of the crisis can you give me an example of what your company was faced with as far as emergencies were concerned and there was more than a thousand of those that were sitting on top and i look at that and say what were you dealing with. >> a couple aspects i want to color, there was a shipment in the vessels to be looked at 2009 area of the suez canal. and we got visibility a real-time visibility for redundant supply that can be routed to different medians towards consumers. were still into a pandemic. a year into the pandemic suez canal blockage of destruction.

3:14 pm
it is so extensive that you need machine learning and showing the data in learning not only of consumer and demand the inventory to channel forward. that's why i make an enormous impact. liz: you have to learn from your mistakes and a.i. how you do it is important happening which leads me to the report out of japan to say that panasonic is making a play for six and half billion dollars, what can they do to scale up and are there other bidders, can you give us any granularity. >> there was a news item put out. we don't respond to rumors. panasonic is a great fantastic follower. there and ecosystem of blue yonder a joint venture partner in japan. but a sizable largest independent supply chain software company we have been

moving on capital management chief bill wang has put together of high public relation legal team as he bases questions over his office in the tens of billions of dollars in additional losses that spread across the financial sector. to charlie gasparino on the details of this one. >> you always think of the big wall street firms like goldman sachs, credit suisse, morgan stanley, the smartest people, the best and the brightest and they always know what's going on in the market, a lot of times they do not know what is going on in the market and this may be a simple case of how he was able to build up massive leverage positions. intake business of a derivative market where you can borrow over hear from credit suisse, go 85%
3:22 pm
go massively leverage on a position of a basket of stocks that the firm owns and do it here with goldman and do it here with morgan and as the stocks go up you increase, you don't cash out and they don't know the year increasing in every place in one false move the whole "house of cards" collapse. that could be human error into groups. but the sec is still looking at it to see if there is something here and i will point out that anytime you have a market issue like this where big hedge fund anywhere between 10 - $20 billion that is essentially mr. wong was a hedge fund it was his own money built up in a short period of time and they lay it all out on foxbusiness.com, he essentially lost it all in one day causing ripple effect that cause banks to lose money critically credit suisse and the other banks that were holding the positions in stocks that he had a position in and you had to unwind that when
3:23 pm
they were going down and he could not make the margin requirements. goldman sachs and morgan stanley got out first and then credit suisse is still not telling us how much it lost in the whole thing. it'll be interesting when they tally it up. in mid-august the sec is taking a look around not saying they did anything wrong, that's just the way markets work sometimes but mr. wong has gone out and brought in pretty high-profile people for what looks like a defense. the way i understand the white-collar attorney now carmen lawrence was an sec attorney 20 years, she knows the enforcement division very well and we understand that she works and we don't know the exact time of the higher i should point out but as
3:24 pm
we reported last week and a few waves for the person might enter mike citric has been hired to do pr he's one of the most pr handlers pretty aggressive guy handles basket cases, you could round off high-profile people who were in trouble to celebrities, halle berry, paris hilton, it goes on and on. he's been there and now he's been retained by bill wong. one of the interesting things i think a lot of people on wall street say this may be the way the sec will look at it, morgan stanley what are the triggering events of wong's blowup, the highly leveraged position in cbs viacom which was doing a stock offering, when i got announced people started selling the stock and it went down and that caused the margin loss he was long leverage so much of the stock.
3:25 pm
morgan stanley was the underwriter on the secondary. i'm not saying they did anything wrong but you can see where the sec might look at that and it's a great piece of bloomberg which talked about how morgan stanley was counting on mr. wong to be a buyer and he cannot because he was losing money and the others in getting margin calls from the other banks. that tells you how crazy the situation was. just so we know it gives the market some inside of risk-taking it can lead to big losses. it would be nice if the sec does that pre-will see what happens. liz: i'm not going to compare bill wong to bernie made off but when 70 present themselves that i worked in tiger management on this and that and i'm friends with everybody and wall street closes his eyes and says here's
3:26 pm
some money. it's a problem and they should learn. >> before we start making comparisons like that we have no evidence of bill wong wide, no one is saying that he lied. liz: exactly that's why i said they just handed over because they think they know him. thank you very much, charlie gasparino, we are coming back with a big baseball story. with one companion that hedges the risks you choose and those that choose you. the physical seam of a digital world, traded with a touch. my strongest and closest asset. the gold standard, so to speak ;) people call my future uncertain. but there's one thing i am sure of...
