the performance of many of the managers, tiger, loeb, hasn't been good. >> tiger was up the first 15y, they have been trailing the broader markets having any exposure to the shortside, especially last year, and a lot of the managers, loeb talked about this. we saw some of the filings we don't get a full picture of the short exposure we get a sense with put options. that's something we saw with michael barry. he had notional values of puts against the nasdaq or etfs etfs that track those. and we received a letter from david einhorn where he said he had some portfolio protection and hedging, giving where things were >> a lot of information. interesting, leslie. leslie picker. >>> still to come, the retail outlook with one analyst who says buy depot ahead of more results from that space. what investors need to know, as the nasdaq 100 just about 100 points shy now of its 50-day dot vi ara n'go away. >>> welcome back i'm pippa stevens with your cnbc news update. donald trump says he will release a report on election fraud after a georgia grand jury indicted him on accusations he and his a

in that profile of you, it said this, where loeb departs from most of his colleagues is in thinking thatbelieve and does this finding support the idea that aliens have already made their way to us? >> the question that we address here in the first paper is whether the material is from outside the solar system. the next question is whether the composition pattern that we find in terms of elements indicates some technological origin. and, of course, the best way to figure it out is to find a big piece of the object, because then you can tell the difference between a rock and a technological gadget. a gadget will have buttons on it. and actually in my class at harvard university, i asked the students what should we do if we find a technological gadget with buttons on it? should we press the button? half of the class said, please, don't do it, it will affect all of us. the other half said, please do it, because we would like to know what would happen. i said i would bring it to a laboratory to examine it before engaging with it. the good news is that we have the ability to collect the data a

went to the library, the bethlehem area public library, down the road, and looked up at old beth and loeb microfilm. the globe eventually became the globe times, which was my very first newspaper job as a sportswriter. i joined the globe times in 1980, and there was a guy named john nonsmoker who covered all the games in the bethlehem steel. so he reported about shoeless joe coming to death and staring bases and getting picked off by jeff tesoro, and he had the great archaic language batter's not to make a road or sticks mess. fastballs for horse hide pellets. yeah that's the way these sportswriters, you know, wrote back that the guys broadcasters like steve daines smith there they have their own purple language but. i really like the old archaic language. so the bethlehem team, the bethlehem steel, they was a motley crew and there probably was no more motley crew than the bethlehem team. there was a 45 year old player named cy seymour who had played the major leagues mostly for the new york giants from the 1890s into the teens. so seymour had, a very distinctive great landmark. he he was

nasdaq pwas up 15% the decision was if you are invested in the tech stocks, do you sell out or dan loebyou chase up that way. interestingly, i think the debate all year was if apple the and microsoft are 13% of the s&p, most managers are ben benchmarked to the s&p and they are looking for absolute returns and some of them feel they cannot ignore them >> reporter: that's right. you know, i think as was made evidence with the third quarter letter, an lot of managers foud they were underweight. that is what was interesting about the filings was to see who basically had to play catch up or a little fomo action and who decided to sit it out and who crystalized gains. you get a sense of what is happening with the investors in q2 >> the run up continued in july and they backed off. from the end of the second quarter, basically flat. leslie, thank you. see you later in the show with more 13-f revelations and more from berkshire >> dow is not getting better no help for home depot, mike >> they backed off >> 329 bid closed at 330. it was 331 or 334. any slight movement we're seeing -- barely. >>

third points' dan loeb saying fundamental analysis is increasingly taking a back seat to monitoring.n in treasuries. back to you. >> i always like to remind folks that we didn't invent the idea of nonfundamental stocks >> i think this is a distinctly new phenomenon when people like loeb get upset, they're feeding into it. it's a power struggle and they feel like these platforms have given them the power to come together and take on big investors. i don't know if this would be tantamount to people coming together to bid up pricing >> i agree it wouldn't happen at this scale and this speed. i also think that's a little bit of a sad part of it to me, is that all the energy is from we have to put it to the man. and it's a zero sum game mentality. the markets don't have to be a zero sum game mentality. ltv was a people stock level three after the bubble i mean, serious when howard stern went, it has happened before >> and it feels like it's not just people stocks for the big guys >>> good morning, kelly. she's repeating her remarks from the weekend that she thinks additional rate increase
