bertha coos tells us why and what is next. >> here's what to watch for in health ce in t second half. in a word consolidation. acquisition move also come to a head as insurers look to get more efficient through mergers. anthem if they succeed in buying cigna and aetna in acquiring humana the combined firms will have more than $100 billion in combined revenues. that could put the deals under tough anti-trust scrutiny. analysts say we could see more acquisitio by health systems. this fall the switch to a new electron billing system could cause problems for hospitals and doctors who are bracing for payment and glitches. that could help the i.t. systems wh vowed to compensate doctors for delay. that's your outlook for health ca in the second half. bertha coombs "nightly busine yo> washington has a lot on its plate over the next few months from hearings to gearing up for the 2016 presidential race. john harwood joins us to discuss what is on the agenda in the nation's capital. john president obama has had a good couple of weeks. he's picked up political momentum the economy is doing well.

what's the picture you paint, bertha? >> a lot of red but take it in perspective.he nasdaq is coming off of a week where it closed at a record high, down nearly 2% for the week. today it is really biotechs chips that are down and for the week they are off about 3.5%. the big drag comeing from the small caps and biotechs and the reason is because of biogn. biogen having slashlded its outlook for its outlook for its multiple sclerosis drug. that's really bringing things down. on the flip side amazon having its best one-day percentage gain since last april 24th adding a whopping 30 points up side to the nasdaq 100 today but that's just not enough to deliver the big cap index out of the red. >> thank you very much bertha coombs. >>> how do you play this kind of market? with me now, portfolio manager for bmo large company fund at bom, and the cio are global financial capital. er ernesto, yes, we are close to record highs but there are some problems here not to mention a rout in commodities. are you concerned? >> well we're not really terribly concerned. i think the fund

let's go to bertha coombs at cnbc headquarters.tainly it will look better than the first quarter? >> that's the thought, carolyn. personal whenever i splurge on something i shouldn't i always think i'm helping the economy. well, the expectation is that the economy picked up in the second quarter as higher consumer spending and a pickup in housing offset the drag from energy prices and trade. the consentsus forecast is for gdp to increase at an annual rate of 2.7% compared to a decline of 0.2%. q1 will be revised higher after the u.s. government took steps to refine the seasonal adjustment. economists say that left residual seasonality in the data which may have led to the overly weak growth we saw in q1. second quarter gdp was likely boosted by the consumer as households use some of the extra cash saved from cheaper gas prices to go shopping. consumer spending which accounts for more than two-thirds of gdp is forecast to have grown about 2.9%, up from 2.1%. the energy sector may have continued to weigh on growth as it struggles by

we are still down on the day as bertha just told us but off of our worse levels today. why are investors even stepping up to buy this stock if things were so disappointing. here's another interesting part. according to our data partners at kensho there is a little bit of positive bias here every once in a while for apple stock. over the last five years, we looked at performance one month after an earnings report. first of all, across all observations over the last five years, it's up about 3.8% the day after. already decently in terms of the one-month later approach here. it's positive a little over half the time. 55% there. but when earnings beat like it did this past time the average gain is around 4.5% almost 5% here a month after those earnings are reported. it's positive 58% of the time. one of the reasons why some investors may be feeling a little more bullish on apple stock has to do with some of these statistics. interesting though we'll see if that holds. the last time we saw apple trade toward these levels relative to its average, september of 2013. >> interes
