yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

that is battling with european markets. it's going to be out there. with that said it's not the end of the world it's just buying out a few -- it's just being patient. 10 1.2 or 4% the bargains can come later. >> let me ask you quickly about china, it seems they are so interwoven into the world economy as china goes so does the rest the world. everybody has been touting china as the next big market and here we have manufacturing slowing a bit, and that seems to have spooked investors, what is your take on china heading into 2016? >> is interesting to talk about. first and foremost, the manufacturing economy as in made in china, they can produce good for american consumption. they're trying to transition into a consumption-based economy with their own citizens are seeing wage increases in

cost of living increases. it's creating a new economy. have had a tough time with it. along with united states credit is easy. sometimes when you get someone credit, it doesn't go well. china will end badly in the short term, but in the long-term it's a wonderful investment opportunity. >> me ask you quickly, i don't know if you have had a chance to look at netflix but it's down about almost 6% netflix seems to be growing i'm just going to ask what is your take on that is it something we should be looking at to invest in? it's taking a big beating pick >> if you have a long-term yes, they are going into what they're seeing it's not revenue growth, but no one else does. lester the big winners were facebook, amazon, netflix google alphabet. companies that were growing

revenue and like i said the market is dumping today because there's not a lot of revenue growth. the winners of what revenue growth is. so yes, facebook and that is crazy expensive in the short term, but in the long-term if you can get that 20% pullback you can look at it as a discount. it's not appropriate for everyone but i like all that are material. >> very good, thank you. and as always it will be visiting with him later on for winners and losers. as we had to the break, it will take you back to the board and show you is off about 2% this morning with similar drops here for both the nasdaq and the s&p with dropping by more than 2% down to 107.6 morning. ♪
