. >> mike, how are you trading alphabet >> carter hit on something interesting. if you bought mcdonald's trading 24 times forward earnings, 23 times for google a name that has consistently for about a decade been delivering double sijt revenue and eps growth is in good business, when you are talking about 100 shares costing over $100,000, it's obviously expensive to get into a round lot. also you are going to see slightly elevated options premiums going in. i think the way to play sit to buy a call tread is. i was looking at the february 11851270 call spread you can make a bullish bet this is a way to take a bullish position in google with a valuation even now that looks quite attractive for less than $3,000. >> how do you like that trade? >> you are buying a call spread, gives you a right to buy the stock at a certain point in time at all-time highs. it's up 13% on the year. the sentiment is bullish it's going to take a significant beat and raise to keep the trend going. coming to the game right now i don't think you want to be buying the stock i think there are

. >> thanks for that, carter mike, you are trading tlt?> yeah, i'm looking at tlt, i think the options on tlt because it is a low volatility product are inexpensive. trying to buy a call that's close to at the money. i was looking to sell also an inexpensive call, those against it for 60 cents. you might ask why i would be inclined to do that. the reason is i don't see us going much more above that level. i'm not anticipating a strong rally. if anything, i think we might be in a bottoming formation somewhere in here. >> even if we get above that 2.6, it's really the 3% that represents a new intermediate high 2.8, 2.6, is this the environment to be betting on banks overweight as a generalist when they are still not beating the market and specially so adjusted for risk. >> the chart is interesting because i look at your chart in the ten year i was like that's a break out. if i didn't know it was the ten year yield it was a stock and i know there was a tail wind to it which i think the tightening cycle is this year, i had looks like a decent

youngest company ever to hit the fortune 500 and the answer is mike came in a cadre of people from the microchip industry including jean carter who is here. if you look at apple's f1, when they went public, good night, the president, marketing, vp sales, cfo, several major investors like sequoia all brought in by projections to the semi conductor industry that is just remarkable. the importance of building, how foolish would it have been to those two guys, to feel like -- the same success. >> your book passing the baton, intergenerational connection, can you say more about how that happened in the valley? a passing of the baton from generation to generation? >> that is another steve jobs term, talking about something everyone rides over but he was fired from apple, he got on the phone to bob noyce and david hacker and apologized for dropping the baton. he had this sense of the baton being passed from generation to generation and he didn't talk about it but passed it forward. mark zuckerberg continues to mentor him, he talked with google founders, he did pay it forward and bob noyce called it restocking, something that motivat

because mike came in and brought with him a cadre of people from the microchip industry including jean carter who i know is here. if you look at apple as one. when they went public good night, you have the president, vp of manufacturing, vp marketing, vp sales, cfo, vp hr. several major investors like sequoia. all brought in by mike. brilliant connections through the semi conductor industry and to me that is a story that is remarkable that people did not know that. it goes back to the importance building on what came before so how foolish would that have been for those two to say we will do it ourselves because everybody else is tried and they didn't have success. >> the theme throughout your book is passing the baton to this inter generational connection. can you say how that has happened in the valley? >> that term passing the baton is another steve jobs term from his commencement address. everybody glides right over but he talks about when he was fired from apple in 1985 he got on the phone and apologized for what he called dropping the baton and really had a sense of this baton being pass

well, look, hey, carter turned round and gave the immigrants, , they passed a bill to give social security to the mexicans. host: north carolina, republican line. this is mike. caller: good morning, how are you today? host: i'm well, thanks. go ahead. caller: the edge this time barely goes to the republicans. i mean, historically on these government shutdowns, the democrats have found it fairly easy with the help of a friendly media that tends to lean more to the left to paint the republicans as the mean, evil warlords, that they love to paint them at. but as the old happy days analogy goes, i think they jumped the shark this time. i really think with making their stand and drawing their stand in the line, as nice as you want to think of these daca kids, and from what i understand, there's 3.5 million of them, there's not 800,000 of them. a story came out in "usa today." regardless, they're not all alter boys and soon to be nuns and p.h.d.'s and whatever. just like with any group, there are bad ones within that group as well. so the democrats make their stand on a budget showdown over illegal aliens, for all practical purposes, yeah, ok, we'll concede the p

mike conor were on there to represent the other forces. so submarines and aviation. >> also saw some people from other services like carter ham. >> absolutely. and a wide range of pay grades. everything from a retired admiral to a qnc. as far as surprises or omissions, i think when i read the gao reports and the comp reense haddive review, i was happy to see and pleasantly surprised to see the treatment of fatigue, something i've been focussed on since my navy times and since. so i was very happy to see that. it's a little unfofrp if the had it took that event to become policy. but it is. and i think it's very ifcouraging. but then i looked at the gao reports and everything you talk about goes back to had work week and manning and things like that. so i did what you call a pao control function search and it came up 66 times in the report. i flipped to the back and found action items and it was to do a study. i would like the see something like let's look at it gao reports and look at some of the governing documents primarily the standard navy work week and changing the number of watch teams per ship from three to four to sort of bake in tho
