alex wayne. thank you for joining us. coming up, apple apologizes for slowing down older iphones.nwhile, we take a look at the top stocks of 2017. this is bloomberg. ♪ cory: i know you are wondering what the top performing ipo was over the last year. it was roku. roku had a big run. three months into the deal, they set a pace more than doubling since hitting in september. on the other end of the spectrum, blue apron has seen shares fall by more than 50% since its debut in june. kind of sick to the stomach on -- kind of sickens the stomach on that one. apple issued a formal apology for creating a software upgrade that hurt the performance of iphone 6's and 6 s's. while the news is drawing ire -- the company is on track to close out a banner year. our bloomberg technology reporter who covers all things apple for us is here to talk about it. >> if you have a slightly older battery, last year, apple noticed or some customers started complaining that their phones were crashing, and apple looked at it and realized it was because some of the faster processes being performed by the new op

appreciate it, alex wayne. alex: thank you. joe: "what'd you miss?"ke to shale businesses and that their take on the future of the energy in the u.s.. >> will become the first president to achieve american energy independence. alix: here is what energy independence really looks like. it's the u.s. becoming a net exporter, when exports overwhelm imports. exports to billion barrels a day, a far cry from the eight billion that we are importing. it is thought we could cross the line and that has huge implications. one of those things, the trade deficit. this is the u.s. trade balance adjusted for price. in the early 2000's, the trade tweet $5as almost billion. now it is less than $10 billion. $25 billion. if you reduce that, it's good for gdp. lower gas prices means more money for you to spend, and there is one thing everyone can agree on. shale means lower oil prices. five increase of nearly ilion barrels a day of u.s. production was probably one of -- 5 billionors barrels a day of euros structure is probably one of the contributors to the lowest prices

ramifications and what can be done down the pike to the tech sector is cory johnson from san francisco and alex wayneis is not the first time the president has tweeted about amazon and a not favorable way. cory: i think you put the nail in. the fact jeff bezos owns the washington post and they have been terrific in the last year in its coverage of president trump and the problems he has, i think it may have a lot to do with it. the fact is as much as the post office charges amazon.com and ups and fedex and dhl, amazon loses billions of dollars in shipping every year and is losing more with each increasing quarter. for all those complaints, it is not as it amazon is making a profit on this. amazon is a fairly profitable business. earnings per share is not the right way to look at this success. when you look at the shipping information they give us, they are losing a vast fortune when it comes to shipping products. david: down in washington the president may be upset about how much the usps gets paid by amazon. get a pick up the post office and say charge amazon more? is that within his power? alex: th

wayne bennett. pretty much like the sir alex ferguson of by much like the sir alex ferguson of rugby league. biggest and best coach in the business. he has won everything. the longest serving and most successful coach. to work with him was a dream come true. he has made me what i am in these past three years. he has been really amazing for me. he is a great man manager. he don't care how big your profile is. if you are the biggest player or the smallest player in the squad, he will help you, you will boost you, whatever you, you will boost you, whatever you need. if you need that lesson, he will teach you as well. he has been really good for me on a personal affront. i hope he stays on. england were -- weren't helped by several players missing. how do you think super league can help develop those stars who of course came from england, but to produce players who are doing it week in and week out here in england? we have a number of players in australia but most of the squad was english —based. we didn't look out of place. we didn't do too bad. you don't have to go to australia to perform on t
