then i remembered merck is buying sigma-aldrich with a cash deal. it doesn't change, but it has not closed yet. you will not see the stock going away from 140 dollars a share. let's look at the biggest loser of the day. an interesting story on netflix. dollar tree was the biggest loser because it had revenue forecast of 15.3 billion dollars for the full year. analysts were looking for $15.6 dollar on average, then tree said we cannot take you what kind of profit were going to make because were still integrating the purchase of family dollar, bought back in july. off with the rest of the market down 8.7%. freeport matt moran was iti because itc doesn't think it's going to slow down copper production. if nobody slows down, you get too much supply new don't have enough demand to me that supply. so the price of the producer will go down as well. i talked about apple eating netflix's lunch. it's not a done deal. we note netflix has some great shows. a boost in the price target did not seem to help netflix. alix: thank you so much for the roundup on the m

sigma plus infrastructure, like with, has similar models that .ill integrate with our model however, let me shift to a different perspective. as you heard earlier, i provided -- i served as a provider ceo for many different systems in the state of north carolina for about 15 years. i know those delivery systems extremely well. i'm well aware of what is happening in that state, as well as 49 other states, given the view that i have today as a health plan executive. what i can tell you about my lived experience in that will is last 15 years, we were focused heavily on accusations -- acquisitions, purchasing hospitals, purchasing physician practices, although under the premise that we would clinically integrate. it was all about negotiating better price, by way of delivering better quality. i would argue today, in terms of our commitment to value payment, our commitment to new models of care delivery, supporting practitioners with data that gives them legitimate information to better manage care, i think today is a totally different day than what history suggests as far as what the old

fraternity sigma right? what's so special about them? >> bob barker was a sigma knew. you know who else? don tyson who was president and ceo of tyson when they were skyrocketing as a meat company. the white meat chicken. whole grain breading. do you want to live in a world without dyno nuggets? >> it's a summer read that's too hot to handle. several incoming frebman at nuke university are refusing to read fun home because they say it compromises their christian release. it was adapted for broadway and won five tonys. some students are claiming the book is pornographic because it contains scenes of masturbation and sex. one says it's more about the illustratio illustrations. my feel is graphic novels, why are you teaching them? >> exactly. i'm insultded by the fact that this is a graphic novel. this is not graphic importaporn. it's for summer reading. they don't get a book over the summer. who does that reading anyway. >> and who does graphic novels at the beach. i think it's the new children's book. it's the step you take when you really don't want to write or read. >>

along with applying things like lean six sigma and along with bringing in experts on efficiency. i think that would do it. >> the number one driver of our debt are entitlements which raises important questions. social security, things that people depend on. we have a lot of people, younger people watching this. what are you going to do about those things and their future? dr. carson: let me address one of them because we can talk about all of them all day long -- social security. it is basically a ponzi scheme. it would be basically ok if we had not stolen from it and adjusted with time where we put in the average age of death was 63 and now it is 80. we have not adjusted appropriately. what i would suggest is we allow people to opt out of receiving social security payments in lieu of tax credits for the same amount. they would be about 20% of our population who could easily do that. that immediately takes pressure off the system. right now, it is scheduled to go into bankruptcy in 2033 and that is not that long from now. that extends the time period significantly. what we can do

sigma aldridge, tico energy. the three best ones in terms of still near their highs, but, of course, the big cavat here, guys, sigma, tiko, cable activision, all parts of m&a transactions and that's why they're up where they are right now. still an interesting cross-section. back to you. >> it didn't hurt. they got held up by a buyer. >> they did. >> jim, nike where i zoosh. >> of the list we just talked about it. half or more are m&a 250i69. nike is not. while china is a part of their growth strategy and it represents about 12% of their global sales, it's got a lot of growth from elsewhere in the world as implied by the part that's not china, that's 88%. also considering, this is my own personal thesis here, that if the chinese economy is stumbling a little bit, if the chinese consumer is pulling back, that may keep them from buying a car. it may keep them from buying real estate. i don't think it's going to keep them from buying the leisure products that nike puts out there that is a status symbol for a lot of

lien sig sigma works, but it starts with somebody at the top. in my case, the ceo of a county, but also it could be the head of quality control, the head of manufacturing who comes in and says i don't want to accept 67,000 errors per million opportunities. i want zero, and i'm going to measure that every day, and i'm going to chart that every day, and you know what? i'm going to send myself and i'm going to send others to schools, to training to find out how to process, map an error and what dr. burgess pointed out and i got a phone call the other day, too. i got one from american express and it was a $25 innocuous charge and they said this looks like it could be fraud and it turns out it was. that was 15 minutes after somebody put through that transaction. that's an organization that gets it. that's an organization that says we won't accept any errors let alone 67,000 so i guess as my time runs out i would simply challenge you to dig in to lien sig sigma more. it does work. it can be implemented in government, but it starts with the person in c

swedish, your testimony outlines the importance and someone who has been intimately aware of sigma's work in improving patient outcomes and quality, how will these partnerships and programs either expand or increase after the merger or be negatively impacted by the merger and what kind of metrics will you use to make sure they continue and continue to have a a positive impact on patient outcome? >> thank you for the question. the way we envision it lays out a very strong model of building on the successes of both organizations. i mentioned before, i believe cigna has built out a wonderful model around accountable care and delivery methodologies. they have generated a situation where patients are more compliant with diabetes measures to the extent extent of somewhere around 25% improvement they witnessed a 45% expense reduction. long story short, i think the combination will be synergistic in nature and political performance will be greatly enhanced with data. taking data repositories and melding the data to create valuable information for the provider community. i believe care delive

the only one that is of a sigma aldrich, the chemical company. but that is barely in the green.nly .04%. almost all of the companies in the s&p are declining. the dow is down 410 points off 2.5%. we will keep an eye on the markets. last month, u.s. car companies ramped up sales as car buyers snatched up more pickups and suvs and took it vantage of cheap financing. two pointells rose 5% of gm and toyota reported a drop in sales, but they were not as painful as wall street expected. what is happening? let's ask our auto editor in detroit. we were expecting an ugly august, what happened? bad asit has been not as we thought. it is funny, because all of the estimates came out last week, before the weekend. it was hard to tell how the real economy was going to respond to all of the stock market turbulence. we have seen them separate and say maybe that is my retirement savings and that is something else. they feel confident in their jobs. they feel good about the financing that is available. they went out and bought cars like they had it all year, especially the last 4-6 months. betty:
