"closing bell starts right now. >> it is time for "the closing bell". it is hard to say i'm sorry, but elon musk has issued an apology. >> the biggest investors are giving us their best ideas. i'll have the details. >> i'm josh lipton. ibm will report earnings in about an hour. >>

let's check the markets on delivering alpha day now up 28 points on the dow. up two on the s&p.

what a show this morning jonathan gray is going to sit down with david at alpha it is day two of theed share's testimony on capitol hill. we'll take you back to washington shortly as the q&a continues. later on this hour, legendary investor jim chanos will deliver his best idea to the panel at alpha. all that coming up in the next few minutes. the dow is up 39 the big story is the eu, finding google a record $5 billion over android antitrust abuse. we spoke with the eu commissioner earlier on why the fine wasit in place. take a listen. >> the fine reflects the fact that this has been going on for quite some time. this is a strategy that has been into effect since 2011 and two of the three illegal restrictions, they are still in effect this is an ongoing abuse >> sara eisen is here post nine. you said the money itself is not really material, it's the remedy in how that comes about. >> not material to google itself because google has a $100 billion cash pile, they are cash rich, but what the european union is telling google is because you're breaking the antitrust rules, you not only h

there is a lot more coming up on delivering alpha.inly our conversation with howard marks was insightful as it always is. >> one of the many big highlights from delivering alpha today. we have 35 minutes left of trade. we are higher by 81 points on the dow. we are near the highs of the day which was 95 points on the dow. the nasdaq just positive. coming up shares of morgan stanley jumping after beating wall street estimates for the second quarter. we will dive into the numbers behind that beat. that's next. >>> and later we spoke with europe's commissioner who manages anti-trust that leveed that fine to google today. we'll tell you what she had to say about the decision and what changes she says google needs to ma nt.keex >>> welcome back to "the closing bell." we are back in rally mode. the dow is up 75 points. s&p up. nasdaq not doing a whole lot. if we close up that would be a record high. russell 2000 up. yields are higher especially the ten year and the dollar is a bit stronger. >> sorry. my notes are in there from earlier. >> le

leslie here at delivering alpha. what do you make of the commentary, steve, out of delivering alpha already from some notable speakers? >> trade continues to be the center of everybody's mind, and it should be, because it's potentially very damaging. surprising is kudlow, close as he is to the president, we all know him, that the market traded not just higher, but significantly higher after those comments, because you can only conclude that trump is going forward with the tariffs so i remember the days, long ago, maybe a week, when the market would trade downward. so that, to me, is kind of a surprise that the markets are as strong as it is, but it's a legitimate focus i think everybody should be worried about tariffs and also think it's the right thing to do. >> i take the other side i think we'll get closer to midterms you'll see red states looking more purple. this is a president who's very capricious and could wake up one day, call larry, say, i thought about this you're right then go on twitter and say i won the

[laughter] she is old enough to be my grandmother. she is miss dixie 1951. this is like the photograph from lake cypress gardens. this was something completely unknown before world war ii. it shows a major change in the use or misuse of the confederate flag. it is also significant because it appeared in "life" magazine is part of a large spread about the confederate battle flag fad. that would have been big news if it was just occurring in the south. but it was occurring all over the nation. in detroit, atlantic city, and elsewhere. the pundits were asking what was going on, was this rebellion against truman or a popular fad? there was something significant going on. the material culture of the confede

the client is known as alpha bank, alpha bank. it is a russian bank. and it's a russian bank as i describe the story is very significant in terms of our conversation today about the russian impact on the u.s. government. alpha bank needed mr. benczkowski to look at the so-called steele dossier. do you remember that? the memo that came out about then-candidate trump and things that were alleged that occurred in russia. well, they asked mr. benczkowski represent the alpha bank because their name popped up in the steele dossier and we think it's terrible and they want to tr a defamation -- they want to consider a defamation lawsuit. so mr. benczkowski takes on the alpha bank as a client in reference to allegations made in the steele dossier. there's more to the story. during the course of the trump campaign, there were unexplained pings and contacts between alpha bank and the trump campaign computers. more than one. still unexplained as to why this russian bank would have any access or communication with the computers of the trump campaign. you see, the a

david faber is delivering alpha and going to be there. this was a heck of a way to dick off, david. >> yeah, it was interesting listening to kudlow. i think listening to our experts chime in, of course, carl, in terms of what they thought was important. from my perspective, it was the language used to describe the trade dispute with china which i think differed in tone with how he was describing relations, at this point, with europe. and certainly with mexico. it is seemingly, at least, the possibility of real progress it didn't sound that way on china, to me i'm not sure what you thought. >> no, he said xi doesn't want to make a deal it's holding the game up he could end the tariffs this afternoon, if he would come forward on issues like intellectual property theft and technology transfer, which he said china has been unresponsive to. >> yeah. exactly, sara. and, you know, it'll be curious to see if we get a market response at all to those comments from kudlow jim asked him why not go to the full $500 million in trade, you know, in expor

carlyle's david rubenstein noted this in yesterday's delivering alpha.id it is the greatest time they ever had to raise money >> there's more money under management than we ever had. deals are getting done at higher prices than in 2006 or 2007. because investors are willing to accept lower rates of return it works. investors used to want to go into private equity for 20% per annum in this environment they're happy with 13% 14%, 15%. you can still pay higher prices, get those returns and the industry is doing quite well >> jim chanos said that he thought all the dry powder out there is causing private equity to do subpar deals chanos was speaking in the context of his short in envision healthcare which is getting acquired by kkr. >> what's so interesting is we're seeing private equity enter more and more into the space of odd ball kind of deals like this, because they do have so much money to put to work any kind of due diligence in this realm would tell you that this is a problematic business you're buying melting ice cubes, if you will. >> the incentive

you congratulated me the other day on my performance in delivering alpha i did not have last year any of these tech winners i have in front of me, i recommended first data, shire, united airlines, hess and wpx energy as a group, they were up 41% there's plenty of ways of skinning the cat in the market the market environment is reasonably favorable not to say it's undiscounted you have good economic environment. you have a compliant fed my opinion, you have interest rates that are really what's driving the market not competitive. who wants to buy a ten-year bond for 2.8% in the united states. 35 basis points in germany zero in japan. you know you have growing earnings, growing economy and noncompetitive interest rates. right now, that's the scenario >> what do you say to toehose wo say the market is too narrow not enough breath. all the talk is about all of these high growth technology stocks and that's unhealthy for the market you buy into that? they've led obviously if you take three, four, five stock, they've led to the overwhelming percentage of gains. how should we think about tha
