exxon mobil, you know about that. look at this. we haven't had this in a while.re big high profile companies that have missed. u.p.s. and higher oil today is effecting the transport. and here's a real warning. you know about dow theory. look at the dow industrials up and the dow transports down. that's a very, very large divergence you're seeing and very unusual. i think that's a warning sign from the market. another warning sign from the market is the fact that bond yields, sue, are moving to the downside. prices are moving to the upside. highest levels in a couple months. why you might see the stock market's up, happy the dow's up 80, there's a little bit of divergence on a warning sign. on a normal day i think we would be down today. >> i think you're right. thanks, bob, we're going to talk about that with our next guest. let's check in with the nasdaq for its best weekly gain in some six weeks. seema mody is tracking the big movers. >> hi, sue. after yesterday's staggering move in tech, today some of our tech heavyweights are taking a breather. profit taking

. >> tom: it was a different earnings story earlier today out of exxon mobil. the oil giant disappointed investors when it reported profits of $2 a share in the first quarter. that was nine cents below wall street forecasts and 14 cents lower than year-ago numbers. still, as suzanne pratt reports, investors need not lose sleep over the earnings miss. >> reporter: a quick look at gas prices behind me and you're probably wondering how exxon mobil could possibly disappoint investors with its latest profit report. to be clear, the world's largest oil company still earned billions of dollars in the first quarter. and exxon's c.e.o. said today, "the results reflect our ongoing focus on developing and delivering energy needed to support job creation and economic growth." analyst faisel khan said several factors, including chemicals output and higher taxes, caused the earnings shortfall, but nothing was significant. >> this is such a large diversified company that there's a lot of things that can affect earnings in any given quarter. what we've found in covering the st

and exxon mobil in particular over the last few years has invested over $16 billion in qatar in the gas sector alone has fueled a lot of the wealth for the country, but the leadership in the country understand that the wealth in gas needs to be diversified from upstream to downstream products. there's been a tremendous emphasis on the development of petrochemicals and other kinds of related industries in the carbon sector. in fact, while qatar has been producing 9.5 million per year in the petrol chemical sector. it hopes to reach 23 million tons by 2020. that's its goal. so, again, while not totally moving away from the hydrocarbon sector, but making sure that they are producing downstream products that increases the value chain for production and also diversifies uses within their country and markets outside of qatar. now linked to that is a way of looking at the country away from the carbon sector ask how to make themselves a center through education and for the education where i'm proud to say education city hosts six major united states universities there with branch campus

look this is a very important dealer i think both for the for the russian company rosneft and for exxon mobil. it's the arctic's area it's regarded as having significant potential for future hydrocarbon reserves of production and a lot of people believe it's like a major reserve on the planet where we can find significant you volumes of oil and gas so developing this region this place is very important for russia and it all. there's a significant long term opportunity for both companies involved. right until recently offered tax breaks to companies investing in the arctic how touchy that was the offer goes and not. well i think it's still you know broken progress to be honest i mean this is you know obviously about a brand new area we know it's going to have considerable technical difficulties engineering difficulties involved which is why russia brought in a company as experienced as exxon mobil into the deal specifically to bring in their expertise and their know how so i think you start off with this project which you know best guesstimate of what it may cost what will be involved but i th
