people are tweeting around an exchange that mark andreessen of andreessen horowitz had with a hugheserr. referring to a car, mark says in all seriousness, think they're really doing it. do you? >> i think they're really looking at it. i'm not sure if they're going to do that. if you're going to do a car, now is the time to be thinking about it will. you have two disruptions, autonomous driving and electrification. the auto industry has some difficulties about it. account company get the kind of margin that investors used to. hard to say. they're going to start with card play and some of their software. whether they make a car, i would say it's a 40% probability at this point. >> we've been down that road before. trying to speculate about whether they're going to enter a new category. steve thanks again, good to see you. steve melonovich at ubs. >>> shares of blue buffalo up 30%. we haven't had a lot of new issues. microsoft the biggest lost ever as it continues to shift focus towards software and the cloud. take a look at shares down about 3%. despite slowing demand for the operating s

here's scott cooper of andreessen horowitz on the differences between today's market and the big bubblecade and a half ago. take a listen. >> if your comparison is 99-2000 for a bubble, by any metric, liking at ipos or valuations, venture capital dollars, all of those feed is in and say this is nothing like we saw in '99-2000. all the growth in the last five years in tech stocks has been earnings driven, not pe driven. i think veternture capital will whether it's financial services or bit koi there's a dismantling of individual pieces of financial services that are happening among venture-funded companies, whether it's health care. think what will happen in the cases of airbnbs and others that have these contractor versus employee questions is the utility that they deliver from a customer service perspective is so great that the regulatory framework will change in some respects to be able to adapt to those. >> so it's not a bubble. like the old bubble. but we were looking for the right sort of metaphor, i said it's a bouncy house, it's inflated, it's a lot of fun for a while. you feel l

also andreessen horowitz bought twitter shares in a secondary transaction. $le 0 million. i'm sticking with eric schmidt as my random candidate. carl, i mentioned it on the show two weeks ago. i think eric schmidt would bring a lot of kind of business rigor to it. so if bilton outside candidate is andreessen. my outside candidate is schmidt. >> i think the whole conversation speaks fact that we need to hear who the new ceo of twitter is very soon. i think a lot of analysts were disappointed there wasn't an update on how the ceo search is going. >> the only thing that drives me crazy about the twitter ceo thing is jack wants the job. if you're asked do you want the job and you don't give a straight answer no to it, that means you potentially want the job. i like how people are using the hamlet comparison. teaching a new generation of people what hamlet is all about. >> bilton floated this theory that bain doesn't want it for some reason. do we know anything else about that? >> i think everybody wants it it think the only person that doesn't want it is sheryl sandberg. this

>> thanks, kayla, i had scott cooper from andreessen horowitz and ethey are dyson from adventure holdings talking about whether or not there's a bubble. and the first thing that most people say is no, there's not a bubble, but there was some nuance behind it cooper was talking about some of the things he's watching that will determine if a bubble does eventually appear in the start-up market. take a listen. >> the things that we're watching are from a pure venture capital perspective is limited capital inflows so 2014 was up. we're nowhere near we were at bubble levels and inflows and the nature of limited partners so this is a qualitative measure. but the number of callings you get from limited partners who haven't traditionally been in the asset class. if those things start to increase, i think those are potentially worth worrying about. >> we talked a lot about the by f bifurcation, what's happening at the angel level, as opposed to the late-stage. a lot of me, too early start-ups, that's a bit of a concern. listen to what she said. >> the problems these people are solving are mostly v

he is managing director at andreessen horowitz.our. >> thanks for having me. >> one of the issues we've been trying to figure out is whether or not there's a tech bubble. you may not see it on the public markets, but when you look at the private markets, it seems some of the euphoria is now in some of these valuations before a company ever goes public. what do you think about that idea? >> i think there's a couple things going on. i think using the word bubble probably kind of conflates the issue. because bubble -- the bubble we had in '99, 2000 was a bubble. if you think of it in terms of ipos pe multiples. >> in the number of retail investors who got sucked in. >> right. so using the word bubble kind of, you know is probably a bad way to even frame the issue. i think what's happening is you've got a bigger structural issue happening in the market. there's two things happening that i think is causing later stage valuations. number one is the timed ipo is dramatically extended. but if you look over a 35-year period, it's been about
