all right, dom chu, thank you, what do you make all of these disclosures?dy has used the media, social media better than carl. the media, us included. carl wants to break news, he comes on here and he tells what he's already done, and then the stock reacts to it. it's the same with social media. >> tim, you had this look like when mentioned media. he takes advantage of the media. >> i tell you what, i think carl's strategy with apple, people have been frustrated with, and essentially, he's broken out social media. i don't think this is -- it's an early days. i think people are more vulnerable about how they're getting information on twitter. that's the bigger issue here, that's how people are getting their information. >>> coming up next -- our final day of our trader week. we're asking a third najarian to the mix. trysten najarian joins us live after this break. for tapping into a wealth of experience. ♪ for access to one of the top wealth management firms in the country. ♪ for a team of financial professionals who provide customized solutions. for all of

dom chu has been researching what has been the hottest sectors over these last five years.ults for us. >> what it comes down to is looking at how strong the s&p has been since then. if you look at some of the industrial sectors, one of the best performing sectors in the s&p 500. the third best, in fact. a very healthy run. it's been up again about 242% since those bottoms we saw in march. now, here's an interesting chart as well. the best performing stock with an industrial during that time is a company called tech strong. they may cessna aircraft, easy go golf carts. back in march of 2009, this stock you could have bought for just around $4 a share. look where it is today. you can see all the way up to $40. a huge move. the second best performing sector in the s&p 500, an interesting one for sure as well, is the financials, the banks. people don't like them. some people do. they've been the second best performs sector. you can see up about 258% since march. the best performing stock within financials in the s&p 500 is actually not a bank, it's a company called general grow

dom chu, why have these momentum stocks lost, well, their momentum?> you talk about momentum stocks. at their very heart, the momentum stocks stem really their concept to the investment style debate from growth versus value investing. they're exclusively growth oriented companies. stocks that traders and investors will pay higher prices for because of the promise that financial results will eventually match and catch up and justify those premium valuations. also, great wolf execution chief technical analyst mark newton says it boils down to change in price over a certain period of time. he says the greater the price change, the higher the momentum. so the risk with momentum stocks is that when they turn, the moves can come fast and with a good amount of force and power. you think about stocks like tesla which gained 344% last year. it's up another 46% this year, but here is the rub, it's off 17% from its recent highs. all time highs. what about yelp? this company was up 266% in 2013. it's up another solid 18% so far this year. but it's lost a fifth of

dom chu says the best place to be is financials. this epic match-up right when we come back.e back. it's a growing trend in business: do more with less with less energy. hp is helping ups do just that. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance, using forty percent less energy. multiply that across over a thousand locations, and they'll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. that's a trend we can all get behind. geico motorcycle. see how much you could save. gundyes!n group is a go. not just a start up. an upstart. gotta get going. gotta be good. good? good. growth is the goal. how do we do that? i talked to ups. they'll help us out. new technology. smart advice. we focus on the business and they take care of the logistics. ups? good going. we get good. that's great. great. great. great. great. great. great. great. great.

. >> want to go to dom chu.s on safeway breaking. >> we told you about reports that safeway and servers were getting together forç a deal. the private equity company says they're going to take over safeway, one of the biggest grocers in america. and what the terms are about that $40 a share that they were talking about in terms of the deal size. that would make it worth about $9 billion. the about $40 is subject to a little interpretation because it's $32.50 per share in cash. the rest of the amount is going to be made up of proceeds from possible future asset sales and future dividends as a result of the deal. that may be one of the reasons the stock is selling off in the aftermarket session. there's a little, perhaps, some clarity that's desired about how this $40 per share bid is going to be fully made up. again, just $32.50 a share is crash. back over to you. >> thanks, dom, for that. >>> we've seen the big players, big box retailers. the targets, walmart, the dollar stores, going into consumables. >> the s

up to dom chu. >> let's follow this up with the gold conversation. gold stocks are moving higher as investors look for a safer place to put their money in terms of the gold trade. gold miners of course leverage to gold prices. they are all climbing as the ukrainian crisis intensifies so tyler, keep an eye on the gdx and all the gold miners. back to you. >> thank you very much, dominic chu. >>> so what can the u.s. do, if anything, what can the west do to influence russia? insight now from david gordon. mr. gordon, welcome. good to see you. you've been involved in many meetings with mr. putin. i will begin by asking a different question. what does putin really, really want here? >> that's a great question. it's not always easy to tell with putin. i think it's really about two things. i think one is that in the crimea, that's historically part of russia, a huge proportion of the population considers themselves russian and i think the move there is the easy move. i think he's also sort of calling mr. obama's bluff here, doesn't believe the americans are

dom chu is here to explain why not all materials are created equal, right? >> that's exactly right. last installment of our series, metal and mining stocks have seen a split difference. overall the industry group is down 8%, but metals in mining can mean all kinds of company the tli biggest losing stocks represent three different lines of businesses. take free ft. mcmorn. first, heavy copper exposure, down about 17% so far in 2014. copper prices down 17% over the last year, and a lot of that story has to do with china and the brewing economic slowdown. it's a similar kind of story with u.s. steel and steel demand. u.s. steel is down 19%, there's one of the big producers of iron ore and metallurgical ore. cliff's natural resources falls into that category. it's down a whopping 30% in 2014, but there's an interesting flip side here. it's exactly what you talked about earlier. it's the gold stocks, right? everyone hated them last year, name knthat's the thing about goldminers, they leveraged to gold prices. they go up a lot more when gold prices are rising. they fall a lot more. so bri

. >> dom chu, we were doing fine, and them some time after noon eastern, it just took off. what triggered that? >> again, what you're looking at is a bold market here. financials are helping lead the way higher. if you look at individual stories, first of all, look at shares of some of the ipos. mediwound, q2 holdings both debuting today. mediwounds produces treatments for burns and hard-to-heal wounds. q2 trades on the new york stock exchange. both surging more than 20% on trading today. now, there's also shares of apollo global, the investment management firm. it's in the red as the president is stepping down. he did start his tenure with apollo in 2010 following a 20-year career with investment banking at goldman sachs. another personnel change story. this is mcdonald's announcing the chief operating officer tim fenton will retire effective october 1st. the company has announced they're not going to replace that c.o.o. position. this is part of a global restructuring program. and lastly, hewlett-packard increased their dividend to 16 cents a share. back to you guys. >> g

dom chu here with today's action.here is just never enough puns for this one. >> no, candy crushed. you can go through all of them. 1% swing from peak to trough in the broader markets. that's an important point. before we get to that ipo, let's start with dish and directv. both stocks are surging midday on a bloomberg approach that directv was approached to discuss a merger or a possible merger of the two satellite tv companies. so those shares seeing some crazy action today in midday trading. a tough day for facebook as well. it's having its worst day in more than four months. it's falling after it said it would acquire oc kroccu lus. plug power had surged yesterday when a they said a major deal would be announced. that deal had already been announced just two weeks ago. we're going to end like we said with king digital experiencing a disappointing debut on wall street. the stock is down more than we'll call it 12%, 13% after 22.2 million shares were priced at $22.50. king is the maker of that popular candy crush sag

. >> thanks, dom chu. we heard this from so many different retailers in terms of heavy promotional activity. guy, what are you watching here? >> i'm watching the price action. the 27-low was in september. it traded there in mid-january, early february. now, looks like it wants to take it out. now, you have to look out for the stock to gap to 24 1/2, 25, before it gets interesting. to me, there's no such thing as a triple-bottom. we're probably not going to hold 27 tomorrow. >>> it's been two years since apple announced its dividend. but the stock is down 11% since march of 2012. the apple growth story is just plain over. joining us is colin gillis. colin, great to see you. >> great to be here. >> the iphone 6 is going to trigger an upgrade or more people to upgrade when there wasn't a compelling reason. and now, a bigger screen will be the reason. that's false? >> there will be a degree of people who upgrade. but the smartphone market is maturing. and the market is changing. apple's iphones sell for around

cnbc's dom chu is back at hq to tell us where. >> scott, it's an amazing. some were really deep value plays. maybe even the penny stock range at one point but we went and picked out five of the biggest performers in the russell 1,000 large cap index. that's beyond the s&p 500. a larger universe. and found five names that. >> reporter: were really interesting in terms of returns. first off is the department store, dillard's, which is up, guess this, guys, a staggering 2500% since its march 2009 lows. so it was given up for dead at one point and then it came back. another one that we want to take a look at here is, check this out. 3d systems. it was again one of those dollarish, penny stock type valuation companies back then. it surged 5,000 percent. the word is today $69.71. another massive performer since the march 2009 lows. then check out what's happening here, las vegas sands is another one. a gambling company, casino company. discretionary name. it's up 6,000% in that time. and another couple big names here. check out what's happened overall with names

dom chu has been taking a look at the ripple effects. what have found? >> it's like a seismic event or seismic event in the making. you have an epicenter like you said in russia and ukraine, then it ripples out with the effects dying a little bit more the further away you get. in this case here, take a look at what you said. yes, in russia, the stock market was down 12%. in the ukraine, it was down 11%. the epicenter, if you will, the biggest hit parts of the market. but then it spreads out. check out what's happening in eastern europe because then you go to places like poland and hungary. those stock markets were both down about 4% in today's trade. they are very near that russia and ukraine situation. then you move further out into the western part of europe and you have germany and france down by about 3%. so yes, still in effect but it gets a little bit smaller and then of course, you go all the way out to the atlantic where we are here in new york, we are down about call it a percent-ish. the day is not over yet. but still, there is a huge impact th

dom chu is here to show us which stock is winning in this pair trade. >> the stocks, in terms of restaurantof the biggest in the countries, definitely moving in opposite directions. if you look at drinker international, this particular stock is one that's pretty decent in terms of performance. the stock is up, you can see here, a decent amount, probably 14% so far this year. then you've got darden, parent company of olive garden, red lobster. this stock is down about 10% on the year. again, opposite directions, both of these companies are trading just around where the average analyst estimates are. so we asked piper jaffrey analyst what's happening with these two stocks. for brinker it's a wait and see attitude. the cfo just left the company and their market share is static. they are not losing but they're not gaining. they are a regular share repurchaser and that helps earnings growth. darden, on the other hand, is losing market share in its core brands and has inconsistent earnings. but they do have the ability to retain good brand and store level managers. that's a big thing, the people
