i would give it to paychex here. typically, i would go with death and taxes, but only on the slight edge on valuation. i'd take paychex. >> all right. guy? >> intuit. intuit, my man. quick look. >> you are into it. >> i am into it. everything happening here with dan, the angst. i love it all. but intuit -- >> fired up. >> growth up 50% year over year last quarter. valuation, it's pretty much identical. and, you know, over the last couple months, the stocks have been similar. but going with the last four or five years, intuit a much better performer, and there's a cyber security aspect that nobody's talking about. so for my money, intuit gets you done. >> all right, dan? >> listen, this stock trades at 38 times earnings that are declining 10% in 2015. i just don't get it. i don't know what you're paying for here. to me it's paychex by default. this thing trades at a better multiple. it's growing. it's got better growth. trades at 26 times here. also pays about a 3% dividend yield. >> karen, bring us home. >> it comes

tonight we have apple versus intel and, brian, your facebook here is going to battle paychex, and paychex would argue it's been the underdog of the whole match-up. tonight we will see who will go on to battle for the number one -- >> underdog. is that what you drew -- that picture looks like me. is that a subtle dog at me. >> underdog. paychex versus facebook come on. >> what is that in "when harry met sally"? baby fish mouth. thank you for watching.

your total bias on this, described to me this fruit a process that adp's software is written and paychex. joshua: we have a lot of respect for companies in the space. in our case, the way that payroll is done, we use gmail as an analogy. you don't have to know how it works to send a message to someone. that is not necessary. that is the main message, right? 15,000 tax codes across the u.s., lots of paperwork and requirements. these millions and millions of companies across the country outside of the bay area have been doing it on their own for the last several decades and that is what changing. we are one of the companies driving change. they can use cloud-based solutions, access mobile devices. right? they are on the go serving their customer in whatever way they are doing their business. we can deliver value to them in a way that was not possible before. cory: technologically, what is different that you are able to do? joshua: number one, paperless. we do a lot of e-file, e-payment. one of the goals is to abstract the government. cory: are you using a particular service provider for th

we had the ceo of paychex telling us that hiring is slow. we had adt indicate that things are slowing too. but this morning, we just got the best jobless claims figure in ages. signaling things are much stronger on the employment front than we may have thought. so what do we do with tomorrow's big number? i think anything that shows we've created fewer than 300,000 jobs would be viewed as positive by the market. they are weighing many different end points, not just hiring. and there's enough weak ones out there, that we can hold off for a couple -- at least for a day, on the parlor game of when will the fed raise rates. maybe the fed raise rates -- when i hear it. at least hold off about the parlor game about the fed until monday, because tomorrow the stock market is closed. that's as good a place as any to start talking about our game plan for next week given the good friday break. i think monday will just be a day of total deliberation about the number we're going to get tomorrow. the focus on the feds has gotten ridiculous at this point b

domestic product, hiring we had, we had a couple of hiring from small, midsized business, we heard from paychexn't so good. i say, thank you, janet yellen, for not doing something precipitous, looking at data and making the decision on the data. march was not a good month in our country. and i think that we should accept that. i think that the dollar could be peaking because march wasn't so hot. i think yesterday's rally was dollar-based. >> yeah. on squawk a few moments ago, keeping most of his money in cash. >> he's been wrong. >> he admits -- >> he's been wrong. >> it's a money-losing proposition but argues central banks pushed asset prices to sell elevated -- >> digdick fish, does this, too. united technologies up big. i'm looking at carnival upgraded by wells. bank stocks getting a number of bumps. i don't want to hear there's nothing to do or central banks inflated. let's not asterisk this. this is not juicing. this is not major league baseball where some guys are juicing. it's real numbers. you can drill the unh bid for a million shares. enough, enough with being wrong. >> there are no b

paychex versus facebook come on. >> what is that in "when harry met sally"? baby fish mouth. thank you for watching. "closing bell" starts right now. >> welcome to "the closing bell," everybody. i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange to kick off a week, first full week of april. >> i'm bill griffeth. thank heaven you're here now because we have been going back and forth for a long time about what in the heck is going on today with all the various markets. just trying to make sense of it all because bad news to some degree has been good news on this first trading day of the week. stocks rallying after a big sell-off on the open this morning. perhaps on hopes that friday's disappointing jobs report that caused the sell-off will now postpone the fed's first interest rate increase which apparently caused the rally that we're seeing right now. we're trying to parse that out. >> that's what makes the markets so interesting. let's start here as we head into the final hour with where we stand on the major stock market indexes indexes. the dow is up 168 points and remember we'
