5:05 pm
facebook had traded at a bigger emium to the market before investors sold shares off in the past few months as the company was embroiled in a data privacy scandal and now trades asset just 2 times earnings. e issue is whether or not the valuations for many of the companies is justified given the outlook for profits and theco overallmy. and the current selling pressure in the markets is the manifestation of the revaluation process taking place. for nightly business report, i'm dominic chu. >> so can the market tur around d turn higher without the help of the big techtos? sarah malik is head of the global equities division at nufen, the investment management of tiaa. welcome, sarah nice to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> i guess that is the question. can the market turn higher andn ue to move higher without the participation of some of those tech stocks? >> we think that it can, because some ofhn the togy stocks are actually priced for

days. it's a great busessmodel. and we are really bullish on the cloud right now and when look at amazon's cloud and advertising, i mean thoseal are the high margin businesses. and those two specific businesses are just growing like crazy, and margins are expanding like crazy. we really think if ty continue focus on the areas in addition to ecommerce we think they c really just eventually move to an even higher level, which is you know, that would br tough a company like amazon. >> right. google is your next pick. it also had a rough week certainly. but. >> yes. >> it has had a lot of success in the area you are focusing on. >> yes, they are -- they are great when it comes to the cloud. but probably the most thing about google is they are online -- ng of online advertising. i mean, you look at facebook as an exampl so facebook was really trying to coat compete with the s, they still are. you but the platform wasn't as
5:19 pm
od as google's a year ago. now what you see with facebook is they no longer give advertisers the ability to use demographics to really zero in on the people that they are trying to adverti to. so it makes facebook's advertising lessffective. what we think is going to happen we think a lot of the facebook oivertising dollars are to move over towards google. >> and microsoft rounds out the three that you are looking at. gy do you like it. >> microsoft isd in both the cloud and gaming. and we are bullish on both of them. i've talked about a little bit about the cloud. we see that over the course of the next two to three years we think cloud usages going to double. microsoft is in a uniquau position b they offer a hybrid solution that's really good for thoseigger companies who have invested internally to grow in re i.t. because they might not want to switcpt ab to the cloud. ner doing well there. on the gaming side, gaming is just -- it's a high-growth

5:23 pm
in your investment success because otherwise weeks like this you are d yourself crazy. there's been a lot of movement. that sa, sue, you know, outside the knowing your time frame. >> -hum. >> it' -- there is something going on right now that's really and that's there is a repricing of what these stocks are worth. you gem to rr -- and i think sometimes people forget that the stock market isfo a ard looking device. what they are saying is in six months we don't know if we valued the stocks right now for that time frame. there is a lcr of hings going on, the election, possible higher tariffs, etay cetera. it mean that we price stocks too high. not the end of the world. it's just a shifting of tne ground undh us a little bit. and it usually takes a few weeks and in this case it may take a month or so for things to settle back down and people to be comfortable with where valuations are. >> you make the point in one of your -- pieces of literature
5:24 pm
you put out to clients and traders and investors you have to take at a that broader outlook and couple that with what ceos are saying about their own view for their company and fact all ofhat in. >> and you -- absolutely. you see that with azon and google last night, the guidance was lower. the numbers weren't -- that he weren't bad they were good actually. and this earnings season we are in right now it's all aut wha the ceos see for the future. and if you think the last two earnings seasons, the ceos talked about great growth not onlyn the u.s. but worldwide. in this earnings season many ceosay we can still grow, maybe not at the pace we thought we could three oh or six months ago. it's not the worst thing in the wore. if peoplehe keep longer term perspective and mind where we have come from. it's okay. take ad breath. it's all about buying company that is are good companies. that's not to say that because companies got hammered on earnings which you know, amazon and google did theare not bad
5:25 pm
companies. . they still make a ton of pony. but if you still belie in them long-term it's, you know, a way that you can buy them a little bit lower rig now. >> and very quickly j.j., do you believe we still have more room inull market for those who might want to use this weakness to their long-term advantage. >> i do, sue. but i will say this we are not getting there smoothly it's volatile period the next few weeks if you buy now you may want to -- if you have 200 shares maybe you buy a hundred now because you might get them ep cheaper in a weeks or so. >> nice to have you with us. >> alway a pleasure sue. >> j.j. with tflt d amarry trade. let's look at the final numbers from the day on wall street. the dow fell 296 points. the nasdaq was off 151. and the s&p 500own46. the nasdaq is now down for four strait weeks. the dow and s&p down the fourth time in five weeks.
