certain amazon union processes. whole food -- previous to the merger we were more intuitive in decisionmaking and amazon is very, very data driven in theirs decision mosquitoing process. so -- decisionmaking process. so we would be talking to amazon and give our opinions and theories and they'd say, show us the data. and they have a practice there where you are going to write up a six-pager, submit your arguments with data supporting that. i if you do a good job then you'll get the decision that you want and if your don't do a good job you'll be sent back to drawing board or told no. so, whole foods has begun to think more that way, more data driven in our decisionmakingmakd that's been a positive thing for us. still have intuition and our entrepeneural take on things but more data driven. so how is the merger going? it's going pretty well because whole foods i evolving, amazon thinks long term and we have had our fourth price reduction, something our company badly needed to do premerger, amazon data had a lot of co

of the amazon story. whether they still actively do that or not i'm not sure but it's part of the amazon mythology. it's based on real-time stuff that happened. when you think about a big merger between two big companies. it's a little bit like a marriage and i say that because coming together voluntarily for mutual gain and benefits and hopefully because you admire the other person. i they use the metaphor of a whirlwind romance. i told that story and at the same time i won't retell the story but when you get married and most people know what i'm talking about if you are going to get married you are going to change. that's inevitable because the other person is going to influence you and you will gradually become, i'm going to move over to get this done off of my face. there we go. you will gradually change and amazon has had a big impact on whole foods. on the other hand we have a culture. i was saying a healthy marriage there is in me, there's a u.n. then there's us. they all three have to be healthy.

, so it has to sell on amazon.e charts. what it does often times is uses that information to go create a direct replica and then all of a sudden, amazon's replica is number one in the rankings and this original merchant that took the risk is nowhere to be seen. this is an age—old argument, goes back to the supreme court judge louis brandeis, a century ago and his phrase about "the curse of bigness". you just do not like big, successful capitalist corporations, it seems, and the big tech companies with their trillion—dollar values these days are the biggest of all. but is it enough to want to bring them downjust because they are very big and very successful? so, two things. i think there is actually ample evidence that these firms have actually not grown and — you know, to the heights that they have simply through competing on the merits, right? in the us, as well as in the uk, we have a series of competition rules that clarify what is fair conduct, what is pro—competitive conduct and what is unfair conduct or anti—

amazon has larger respect to that. our culture is evolving but not because amazon is cramming things down our throat but just because we are adopting certain amazonian processes that are helping us. one example, whole foods tends to make a lot of -- previously the merger we would be or i would say we were more intuitive in our decision-making and amazon is very, very data driven in their decision-making process. a lot of times if he talked to amazon we would be given our opinions and theories and they would say show us the data. we will not make this decision unless you show the data. they have a practice they are where you up what's called a six pager, cement your arguments with data supporting that. if you do a good job then you get the decision that you want and if you don't do a good job you will be sent back to the drawing board or told no. whole foods has begun to think more that way, more data-driven in our decision-making and that's a positive thing for us. we still have our intuition and our entrepreneurial ta

rowe price, amazon , and ford. the new york stock exchange is reconsidering its decision to halt the delisting of three major telecom companies. d after consulting with regulatory bodies but they are now reconsidering to go back to their original decision. of course, that was on the back of an executive order by president trump. treasury secretary steve mnuchin told them today that he disagreed with their reversal earlier. i want to talk about chips. 2.5%,mm ending the day up announcing that the president will be taking over for steve mollenkopf as he retires as ceo. that was a fairly unexpected move. what kind of reaction did we see in the market? a longtime engineer. steve mollenkopf said that he knew his decision to retire would be seen as early in any event. and he said that the company is in a good place. elsewhere, we got news from micron, raised from a cell to a buy. lots of confidence that sales will rebound and micron will be a big beneficiary of that. on the whole, the philadelphia semiconductor index is

and tell us about the amazon whole foods market merger. >> the anti-chai and teacher pae amazon story whether they still actively do that, i'm not sure but as part of the amazon story. it is probably based on real time stuff that happens. one way to think about a merger between two large companies and whole foods was part of a company when amazon bought us, it's a little bit like a marriage and i say that because you're coming together voluntarily through mutual gain and benefits and hopefully because you admire the other person, i use the metaphor like a whirlwind romance, i told that story and at the same time i won't retell the story, when you get married in most the people visit me, you, us, we all have to be healthy in bothell are core values, we have to be whole foods, unique special culture amazon has respected that our culture is evolving but not because amazon is cramming things down our throat it's because were adopting amazonian processes that are influencing us, i'll give you one example whole foods previously a merger we were more intuitive in our decision-making and amaz

amazon story. whether they still actively do that or not i am not sure. it's it's probably based on real-time stuff that happens. so we think of a merger between two large companies. whole foods is a fortune 500 company when amazon bought us. it is a little bit like a marriage. i say that because the coming together voluntarily for mutual gain and benefits. and hopefully because you really admire the other person. i use the metaphor like it world wind romance and cult love at first sight. i told that story you'd see it. but at the same time i will not retell that story. when you get married, and most people will know what i'm talking about. if you are going to get married you are going to change. that is inevitable. because the other person is going to influence you. you will gradually become, went to move over to get the sun. off my face. there we go. you will gradually change. and amazon's had a big impact on whole foods we've changed. but on the other hand have a very resilient culture. i would

amazon thinks long-term. we have been able to make three, networking on a fourth ice reduction, something our company badly needed to do. premerger, , amazon data had a t of cool technology and i go through the book and talk about how it's been the win for everyone of our stakeholders and win for our customers to lower prices, a win for our team members, amazon present after the merger increased starting pay $15 an hour which basically, because you're increased everybody else's faith because you have to level everybody up. that was very expensive. we counted the cost to amazon and said the first year it will cost $250 million, are you sure you want to do that? they did. that was great for morale, team members loved it. at the time it about 90,000 people. 85,000 of them got a raise in pay. they were pretty excited about that. so a win for our team members. a win for our suppliers to a lot of supply started selling to amazon. there were not selling to amazon before. that's been a good thing for them. greater di

they were going to remove them from the place stuart then separately from that amazon which through its 8 of us service its amazon web services company controls the servers on which parlor is built so they announced it was shutting down the servers so as of monday you go on to parlor on your phone or on the web it's not there you can access like a kind of a blank page and there's no service being provided from the server so right now what parlor is doing is they're scrambling to be able to get back on line trying to go a different route for their servers trying to start basically all the over again it was shocking to me because i've been warning this was coming for a long time sarah and the reality is i can't believe a company like parlor built their services on the amazon web services that's insane to me assuming that they were never going to get shut down well could probably have prevented this type of backlash. they there are several things they could have done the biggest of which is you don't you don't use amazon web services to provide your server. you know protection and content

amazon on the top. now you're looking at on the bottom relative performance to the xrt. most shorted basket, as you say, lays over with the goldman sachs basket identically. since, let's say, the stall period, right, when amazon has rested, down nine, 10% since november 2ened the xrt is up 72 the relative performance line which has gone straight down is right on trend and we think it bounces right here amazon long into earnings. >> amazon long into earnings mike ko, would you agree with that is there an options trade here what do you make of his analysis >> there's a couple of things. number one, do we think there's still potential up side in a company as large as amazon that's the first question. secondly, is there an options trade. one might hope so, given how much each share of stock might cost we've got earnings coming up typically over the last eight quarters this stock has moved higher or lower over the couple of days. right now the options market is implying a move of about 6.6%, higher or lower by the end of next week when they report that's a larger than average

intercourse amazon doesn't want. what's interesting is, both time to the guy a report to amazon one time knees using my metaphor of marriage. when you married into this family, you got a bunch of in-laws now. and some people don't like the in-laws too much. and you're going to have to live with that because you're part of the family now. i thought that was a very clever way of putting it, that would people are mad at the matter whole foods and vice versa. so that is different being under the microscope so closely all the time but have to be guarded a little bit and let us in an interview like this because somebody will hear it somewhere knowing any handling string appear. statements leak freely with us, you don't worry about us. [laughter] >> yes i understand. listen, you have an appendix but we call cultural intelligence. bringing to shift a little bit from your company per going to back to your company and leadership of the company a little bit. i didn't ask about this in an effort to what is your view is where we

to comment but they have yet to respond however an amazon spokesperson has said that the suggestion they waited to offer assistance for political reasons is simply wrong adding that they did meet with trouble officials to offer assistance but this has not been enough to convince the online community or some politicians the drug companies had the vaccine they knew it was going to work days before the election but amazon stilling is pretty disgusting if in fact they could have helped the traffic ministration amazon is now offering china joe help to get the vaccine out to america so in other words amazon chose to let americans die instead of doing this cheering the trump admin obviously it's politics and optics over people shameful amazon suddenly offered to help the biden administration with the rollout of the vaccine because orangemen data was more important than caring for fellow americans after a peak earlier this month there were almost 200000 new cases reported on thursday joe biden has had an ambitious goal of vaccinated 100000000 americans within his 1st 100 days in office we s

a little deliver cancer company called amazon among them what should we be watching for with amazon?three simple charts but before we get to it, it is really the same setup as we saw for apple and microsoft. meaning great winners off the marlowe but then -- march low but then stalled in september. underperformed that have largely come back to life and are holding up better than the market the first chart is a simple one-year-plus chart with a 150-day moving average what we know is that amazon's performance off the march low, up to its september peak that's double the bargain. when you get ahead of yourself like that, you need to rest. a little too much -- too far too fast, pend cher of energy. the past five, six, seven months has been a textbook instance of resting. to put that in context, from the september 2nd peak, same day apple peaked before it pushed higher this week, amazon is down almost 10% 1300 base points of underperformance in a marquee name look at the exact same chart i've drawn the lines, so to speak. this is what my eye sees we're working into the apex. whether you ca

if that's credible that amazon had been secretly working with the trumpet ministration good for them but of course the fact that they wait to announce it and you know i think that the question there would be how long had they been working with the trump administration you know certainly if it was before the election you know and then they wait till after the biden operation to announce it that's a little shady that seems like a big deal you know if they had just been always sort of planning to go behind the scenes and help with this and the kind of benevolent service to the to the country that has made them so aggressively right right while the by the way the lock down has made amazon incredibly wealthy ok so amazon profited so much out that virus so they waited until after biden's who sort of make a move on this so it just seemed suspicious that amazon even if they were working 'd with the tribe the ministry shouldn't previously and i imagine they would have to that some sort of role previously and do to sort of ramp up for whatever massive action they're planning to take to help wi

you're looking at amazon on the top.oking at on the bottom, relative performance to the xrt. in many ways the most shorted basket as you saw, year lays with the goldman sachs basket identically. so let's say since the stall period, when amazon has rested, down 9%, 10%, the xrt is up 72 that relative performance line which has gone straight down is right on trend we think it bounces right here amazon long and earnings >> amazon long and earnings. mike khouw, would you agree with that is there an options trade here what do you make of carter's analysis >> yeah, so a couple things. number one, do we think that there is still potential upside in a company as large as amazon? first question on making a long bet. secondly, there is an options trade? one might hope so, given how much each share of stock costs let's take a look at earnings first of all so we've got earnings coming up. typically the last eight quarters this stock has moved about 4% higher or lower over the couple of days following towards the end of that week rig

amazon shutting down the site, following the capitol hill riot. jillian: jackie ibanez joins us live with a message from the company's ceo. >> good morning. it appears a new internet company is hosting parler after being shut down by amazon. the company's ceo, john matze, writing, quote, hello, world, is this thing on. adding, we will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. we will not level civil discourse perish. parler was shut down following the riot on capitol hill, tech giants blaming the free speech philosophy for helping incite the violence. tim cook opened he is open -- revealed he is open to letting parler back on the app store if they make changes. >> how did you decide to balance free speech with objectionable content. >> we looked at the incitement to violence that was on there .>> amazon claims it repeatedly notified parler that the content violated terms of the agreement but parler was unable and unwilling to moderate it. matze says amazon is holding the company's digital infrastructure hostage. >>

sort of make a move on this so it just seemed suspicious that amazon even if they were working with the trump of mr a shouldn't previously and i imagine they would have to that some sort of role previously and do to sort of ramp up or whatever massive action they're planning to take to help with the distribution so tuning in to wanting to nationalise often even cutting jaclyn think it will behave with the latest headlines at the top down . taste awful like absolutely awful 1st then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to how to give not. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. it's one of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many takes pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various reports that didn't just leave a 35 percent of recovered patients. there have bee

and in the 1st hours of joe biden's presidency amazon sparked outrage online for what critics call a delay in its offer to help distribute covert vaccines the company has written a letter to joe biden offering assistance early leaving a number of trumpet ministration officials feeling left out we are prepared to leverage our operations information technology and communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration's vaccination efforts our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against covert 19 and we stand ready to assist you in this effort we did ask amazon to comment but they have yet to respond but an amazon spokes person said the suggestion they waited to offer assistance for political reasons is simply wrong adding that they did meet with the trump officials to offer assistance but that this has not been enough to placate the online community amazon is now offering china joe help to get the vaccine out to america so in other words amazon chose to let americans die instead of doing this cheering the trump admin obviously it's pol

we reached out to amazon to see if we could find out where this offer stands. we have not heard back. we also reached out to the white house. they are not on where this stands. whether it was offered to the trump administration, amazon said they were in commutation with agencies like the cdc and other top administration officials, but it's clear talking to a number of sources and former operation warp speed officials that there was no offer or letter like this directly made to the president and that some of the officials point out that, because it was being done at the state level rather than a federal rollout, this would not necessarily apply, because distribution is being left up to the governors. now we wait to see if president biden will have anything to say about this in less than an hour when he delivers those remarks at the white house. john? >> john: perhaps some contact, griff, that certainly no grand overture like this one. griff, thanks so much. sandra? >> sandra: let's bring in republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina, incoming ranking me

amazon just offered help with vaccine distributions.on't want companies having backdoors the government has access to. what is your advice to the biden team about how to best confront these threats over the next four years? gen. alexander: i saw a joke, it said if amazon was asked to do the vaccines, they would be done in a week. if you had amazon prime, it would be done by wednesday. i think the government should look at all the methods possible of getting the vaccine out. let's get this done. we should break down barriers and say how can we get this out there? i would reach out to industry. as they are in creative vaccines, they are the same in administering. i think we've got to mobilize the country to take this on. emily: general keith alexander, we could talk for hours about this. founder and co-ceo of ironnet cybersecurity. i hope to have you back. twitter has locked out the official account of the chinese embassy to t he united states -- to the united states after a post that defended the beijing's government policies where criti

amazon has respect to that. now the culture is evolving but not because they are cramming a bunch of things down our throat but we are adopting these processes that are influencing us. previously in the merger i would say we were more intuitive in our decision-making. it's very data-driven in their decision-making process. a lot of times we would be giving our opinions and theories and they would say show us the data. we are not going to make the decision unless you show the data and they would write up a six page argument with data supporting it. if you do a good job of that, then you will get the decision that you want and if you don't do a good job, you will be sent back to the drawing board and told no so they've begun to think more that way. we still have our intuition and take on things but they are more data-driven. so how is the merger giving going back to that, it's going pretty well because it is evolving and emma amazon things long terlong-term and we are won the fourth price reduction something we ba
