when rick santorum came in second in the republic cap presidential primary in 2012, john yob ran rickorum's delegate operations and became his area of focus. john yob is an experienced political operative, a delegate guy, he's fashioned himself into being an expert on delegates and specifically on political conventions. last month he published this book, "chaos: the outsider's guide to a contested republican national convention." timely, right? the book makes a prediction about the current republican primary. it says, "the only thing that is certain is that there will be chaos in cleveland." chaos in cleveland. you know, even if none of the rest of us are experts on this stuff, we can all do enough of the delegate math, ourselves, to know the only hope the republican party has of stopping donald trump from becoming the nominee is to try to maneuver these delegates he's earning across country as he wins state after state to somehow peel those delegates off donald trump and cobble together a majority of those delegates to support somebody else at the convention. now, that's not stealing

rick: i think that's right.hen you think about the world we have lived in for the last few years, you have an extraordinary central bank in the fed doing qe. you have current account reserves we are building and you have incredible numbers of buyers of assets. every time the market softened come he had buyers come in. today, you have more equilibrium and so you can create what i would argue is a much more matched in terms of their buyers and sellers of different assets. it is a very different framework. alix: if you look at oil versus the high-yield market, it seems to move in tandem even though oil does not account for that much of the high-yield market. one school of thought is that perhaps this correlation is masking the vulnerability of the high-yield market. rick: i would say a couple of things to that. no doubt there is pressure in parts of it whether it's monti's or materials in high-yield market. parts of the high-yield market are trading unbelievably rich. high-yield has become bifurcated into points of
