3:00 pm
make 15% in a couple of weeks, those are the kind of opportunities you want to take advantage of. otherwise it's like the proverbial frog sitting in the boiling pot. always looking for opportunities, and is once you get out, i think it's all she wrote. liz claman, i don't know if you agree -- [laughter] you don't always have to be 100% invested, but i think you should always be in the market. liz: yeah. cash is trash is a statement that some believe you really should be mostly mt. market in good quality companies, so i'm with you there, charles. all right. let's call it, about 60 minutes left of trade for a week that has just been insane, right? markets are lower as we wrap up a wild week that saw the biggest rally of the year wednesday after the fed raised interest rates by 50 basis points and then the u-turn yesterday, the dow's ninth biggest point drop in history.
3:01 pm
even the stellar april employment report not bringing out the bulls possibly because strong job growth might now be seen as adding fuel to the inflation fire. rising labor costs, the federal reserve's ability to tame it, crazy market volatility. our floor show traders about to tackle it all. tech, big tech, small tech, e-commerce, stocks taking a breath, but shopify is hoping its lung towards logistics will give up a leg up against retail giants amazon and walmart. the president of shopify is here to tell us how he plans to deliver profits with his new $2.1 billion acquisition. and the travel bug is really infecting americans as the worst of the coronavirus pandemic fades. one company is using its smaller yacht to get you up close and personal with the great galapagos, alaska's glaciers and more. the uncruise add ventures ceo in a fox business exclusive.
3:02 pm
you've got to see these trips, end after the weave we've had, right -- we've had, right? so far no bounce after the stomach-churning rout yesterday. stocks quickly dropped at the open today, and dow jones industrials at the moment down 321 points. now, the dow saw another 523 points scraped away earlier this session, but around 11:24 a.m. eastern, the bulls made a run for it, scaled the fence into the green, got tossed back over. you can see from the intraday picture, nasdaq, s&p, they pretty much mirrored each other, managed to scramble again into the green at 1 p.m. eastern, but now as we see, 58 minutes left to trade, looks like a tough go. s&p down 50, the nasdaq down 238ing. this hangover from federal reserve chief jay powell's proclamation that the fed is not actively considering more aggressive 75 basis point hikes in interest rates has triggered the friction that we're seeing in the markets a full 48 hours
3:03 pm
later. yeah, still. 10-year treasury yield touching 3.13% for the first time since 2018. concern over the ped's ability to get -- fed's ability to get inflation under control. right now we're at 3.125. let's check the consumer discretionary names because these are the names where, arguably, you don't have to buy these types of things. they're not medicines, paper towels, things like that. nike, which as recently as november was $177, it is plumbing the depths of the dow, right now -- let me check it at the moment, down about 3.8%. it stands at $114 a share. yesterdaying see it was a bad day yesterday too. year to date it's down 31%, and today it's following under armour down the rabbit hole. under armour getting clocked, down 26% after guiding lower for full-year earnings. now after the 5% smackdown yesterday, take a look at apple
3:04 pm
shares, managing to hold on to just a second ago a tiny bit of green, right now we're down, let's call it flat, down just 14 cents to $156.37. apple is one of these names that is still looking pretty darn good year-over-year. it is up still about 20%, decent performance there. shack, shake shack, consumers starting to curb, as we said, discretionary spending. down 2%. we can see it right now, it's lower by $1.12 to $54.93. now, to underscore how hard names considered discretionary are hurting, look at the daily consumer discretionary bull 3x shares. this is where where you go long this type of thing. not working. it's down about 5.5%. i have a list, including tesla, mcdonald's, nike, starbucks. carnival cruises is in there, ultra cosmetics, caesars, target, carmax. it's a tough time for this etf
3:05 pm
which is often used as a trading opportunity. all right. so then let's get to this: it's a 14-year-long fairy tale bull market, is it over? you're hearing a lot of people ask that question. let's bring in the floor show. right now the s&p's down 13% from its january high of 4796. that is not bear. which is defined, of course, as 20% off the recent top. that would be, as we see right now, just correctioner story. we've got "the wall street journal" senior writer john hilsenrath and our friday trader, scott shellady. scott, we've got 55 minutes left of trade. do you see any kind of bounce with the time that we have left in the week in. >> i think it's going to be hard. you know, we've had such a whirlwind, and you know what? who's going to want to really be long going home again? that old saying. i did see some interesting things though that i'd like to say real quick. liz: sure. >> i do a 5-hour show talking a lot about commodities and inflation, but for the first
3:06 pm
time in six months, liz, we had some folks talk about consumer pushback, higher prices procuring higher prices. first time i heard that. so maybe, just maybe, we're going to see inflation increase at a lesser pace and then suddenly at some point in time start to decrease. that's the first time i've heard that in six months. i think we're going to trade heavy, i'd like to buy stocks, but i'm going to wait a little bit longer here. but interesting stuff's starting to happen after this week. liz well, i would think so. it collectively jogs people's memories and puts a a jolt through their heart. they're not so gutsy at the moment. a lot of this has to do with the federal reserve. and, jon hilsenrath, you're very much in key, in sync with what the fed does, and you understand why they think the way they do and what they do. i'm just interested to know why when jay powell said, no, we are not actively considering a 75 point hike, why the market took
3:07 pm
that so badly. i know the fed funds futures were pricing at least one in june possibly, but why did the markets shake and shiver so badly on that? >> well, i mean, two points. one is i think the key word for powell was actively. you know, they're trying to prepare if the market for two more meetings at 50 basis -- half percentage point rate increases. they're trying to set the table for that. and he just doesn't want to shock people. that doesn't mean that if the inflation numbers don't come down that they might not decide to go a little bit more aggressively later in the year, but they're trying to be as predictable as they can. i think we also shouldn't forget that it was 1994 when the fed surprised the market with a 75 basis point increase, and mexico merely went bankrupt. orange county, california, did go bankrupt. you know, there are a lot of people, as we saw this week, who could get caught out of position if the fed makes this adjustment
3:08 pm
too quickly. and so that's what i think the fed was doing there. another point i want to make is that, you know, i know, liz, that you love watching the vix, and i think this is the underlying story here, which is volatility. liz: yeah. >> i think the volatility that we're seeing in the market this week is the way of life in 2022. if you haven't gotten used to it yet, get used to it. because the fed is figuring this thing out as they go along. they don't know how the economy is going to unfold over the next few months. they don't know how fast inflation is going to come down or if it's going to come down. they're going to be adapting their policy as they go. that is a formula for volatility. i would be looking for ways to be long volatility. liz: all right. well, volatility, it's still going higher albeit much less dramatically than yesterday. the vix is up about 2% at the moment to 3182. the big jump was yesterday, scott. scott, i know you've got picks. you've got names that you feel
3:09 pm
are still going to be in big demand even as the consumer rethinks everything. u.s. dollar has gotten extremely strong. i was looking at the u.s. dollar, it was up about 1.1% earlier. and so, you know, we're looking at an opportunity here. and yet the jobs report, jobs are plentiful. we got a gain of 428,000 jobs in the month of april, but all of the wage gains are getting eaten up by inflation, are they not? so how do you decide which picks work? >> well, you know, i can't help it, my background -- we have a family farm, liz, and i can't help it but to watch these guys talk about fertilizer. now, i'm not saying you want to get up on them now because i do think the market's going to sell off, but i would pick these up on breaks. mosaic, they've done very, very well. i don't want to buy at these levels, but i still like them because you listen to some of these ceos talk, they're talking about a problem with fertilizer another two, maybe three years.
3:10 pm
we have to eat. you can print money but you can't print food, right? [laughter] we have issues and sanctions all over the world, and we're going to probably have a problem with chinament they've been buying everything we've been growing. that's going to be a very key thing and, by the way, we need energy to make a lot of that fertilizer too. as long as energy's a problem, fertilizer's going to be a problem, food's going to be a problem. liz: we now have crude up above $110 per barrel. jon, before we go, dow jones industrials down 353. the markets are still, as i put it, shaking, shivering. with quickly, will jay powell be portioned to eat his words and hike by 75 basis points at some point to bring down -- >> i don't think we will see that before the middle of the year, and then we have to see how the year-over-year inflation numbers come out at the end of the year. they want to go at half-point increase. liz: all right. 78% odds of a 75 basis point
3:11 pm
hike, ask that's for june. -- and that's for june. great to see you both, thank you, thank you. fox business alert, as athletic apparel stocks get pummeled, peloton is hitting an all-time row. and according to "the wall street journal," the company is so concerned about having enough cash to fund its turn-around that it's reportedly in talks to sell a chunk of itself to outside investors. peloton went public in september of 2019 at $29 a share. during the pandemic everybody wanted one. stock was 162, today dropped to a lifetime low of $14.17, we're barely above that right now. the journal says talks to sell a hefty 15-20 of the business are in the early stage and involve private equity and investors. new ceo barry mccarthy at the

extraordinarily popular, alaska suddenly. what do you offer that's different from the big cruise liners such as norwegian, caribbean and royal caribbean and ccl? >> well, i think for alaska as an example, you know, a big cruise ship is going to travel a couple thousand miles in one week which means they run all the time. our u.s. flag small ships basically do 3-400 miles per week, and it's pulling back the curtain on the destination which is what happens in alaska where we spend our days in the wilderness at glaciers, get on top of glaciers, kayak, hike, paddleboard and even snorkel in alaska, if you can believe that. liz: oh, i mean, it's just, to me, fascinating. and i guess the question that becomes as eager as people are to get out there and start traveling, we've got a serious worker shortage problem in this country. are you filling your jobs as easily as you hoped you would? >> you know, it has never been

so those are really important. but also if you look at the amount of services that our merchants are taking from us, our merchant solutions revenue as a percentage of total gmb was the highest it's ever been. that means merchants are coming to us and using us for payment and capital and shipping, all these different services. you do mention something really, really important. as a company, shopify's always been able to balance both growth and profitability. in the history of our company we have raised $7.7 billion. as of march 31st we have $7.2 billion remaining in our coffers, so almost every dollar we've ever raised still sits on our balance sheet, and i think this operating discipline that we have really matters in this environment. this is a company that is not just position on growth, but also focused on profitability. liz: you know, what you guys are doing is what warren buffett would say to do, tune out the quarter-to-quarter drama and the fluctuations and the volatility and just do what you guys are best at.
3:41 pm
that also does not take into account competition. i mean, amazon is like the amazon, gigantic, massive, and, you know, hay play hardball. i -- they play hardball. have you seen any of that where you've had to shove off some of the pushing and shoving that comes from a very tough landscape when it comes to apparel, retail, whatever it is that you're selling? >> yeah. well, look, when you think of the big marketplaces, they're great places to get, you know, your day-to-day staples. but if you want to buy something from steve madden or martha stewart or kit, brooklynen or spanx or figs or all of these companies are powered by shopify. and the reason hay come to shopify is they want to have a direct relationship with the end consumer. they don't want to railed customers from the marketplace, they want to sell directly. and what's happening on the demand side as we saw black friday/cyber monday in november is more than ever before consumers are voting with their
3:42 pm
wallets to buy directly from these independent stores. and, for the most part, consumers are powered by shopify. so i believe there's room for both in the market, but we have to make it easier for small businesses to become the next thing which are home grown stories that are now publicly-traded companies. liz: harley, it's a story that everybody has watched over the past couple of years. you really stepped in during the pandemic to help people start businesses, and we'll continue to follow the shopify story. thank you so much. >> thank you, liz. it's an honor to be here. liz: harley finkelstein. president joe biden in hamilton, ohio, at hour. this is a live picture. he's speaking right now after rolling out his am forward plan this morning. am stands for additive manufacturing, we're going to tell you what that's all about in moments. and a longtime opponent, we were just talking about buffett, right? of warren buffett and charlie munger's views on gold is now
