we'll watch out for the latest shares here in japan such as fujitsu and toshiba just to name a couple there. let's not forget soft bank has been hogging the headlines for the last week, of course, as it moves to acquire u.s. carrier sprint nextel saying that it is not going to actually issue anymore shares to finance that. investors and share prices in soft bank really took good cheer out of that. we did see it raising 9.5% yestery. however, it did decline around 20% in the two previous days. a bit of volatility will track soft bank today as well. yuko. >> there is a lot of focus on spain and the possible request for a bailout. >> a lot of focus on the euro and spain of course and the bet is that spain may actually ask for a bailout which will mean the european central bank can step in and buy spanish bonds which will push bond yields down and help spain to finance some of its funding. let's have quick look at th cuency levs now as well and you can see the dollar/en78.82 to 86 and the euro/yen 103 to 35. should be good for exporters as well. another focus is the presidential debate go

for instance, toshiba has a scholarship for grades k-12. that being said, it's never too late. certainly junior and senior year is prime time to do this in high school. but also college, graduate school, and even adults going back to school. for instance, talbot's, the women's clothing store, has scholarships for women who have been out of school for at least 10 years who want to go back. so the key is, start now, start right away, wherever you are. > > are you looking for full- ride scholarships, or are you just sort of cobbling together a collection of scholarships? > > i like your word "cobble," because the scholarships that i loved were the small local scholarships that were only a couple hundred dollars. i won 24 of these scholarships. i love those awards because hardly anyone applies for them, and there's a snowball effect. you win the smaller ones and they help you win the larger ones. so, don't neglect the small ones. you can put these together. and also, all of the awards i won were portable, meaning i could use them at the school of your choice. you don't have to sacr

would be a difficult quarter to kind of interpret, you've got the retail store solutions, going into toshiba. markets are okay, when you look inside what we're hearing from the u.s. business, that looks like it slowed down in the last few weeks. i think the hardware side of it is troubling. not so much for ibm but for others in hardware. >> you're not buying the stock? >> let me finish. you've got a company that has performed very, very well. so i would suspect around $200, $203 somewhere in there, there are going to be buyers that remain in place. >> i don't disagree with anything you're saying, here's a stock that was trading a percent or two above the market high. it's not like one of those juicy fields. >> you can tell sean as the lagger. it was a service company and now it's trying to get into the cloud. >> i'm so glad you brought up intel. intel popping on better than expected earnings. guidance was nowhere near as some were expecting. the revenue number on an absolute basis doesn't look too bad, sequentially the comparison's not great, but it is a little bit learn q-3. but the comment

mazda motors, panasonic and toshiba also promising earning after the bell but they all cut their four-year outlooks, so we'll watch the market reaction on these stocks tomorrow. ross, back to you. >> okay, sixuan, thank you. >>> now let's take a look at what's on the agenda today in the u.s. as we prepare for financial markets to reopen. we'll get the third quarter employment cost index at 8:30 eastern, as scheduled. 10:00, the chicago pmi, a key one to gauge ism sentiment going forward. just before the bell, we'll hear from gm, mastercard and mgm resorts, southern company, and waste management. >>> still to come, we'll continue our coverage of sandy. after the break, we'll get a forecast of some of the weather channel and we'll find out how it could impact the election as the president gets set to tour new jersey. bob... oh, hey alex. just picking up some, brochures, posters copies of my acceptance speech. great! it's always good to have a backup plan, in case i get hit by a meteor. wow, your hair looks great. didn't realize they did photoshop here. hey, good call on those mugs. can't let

everybody in japan roots for toshiba. everybody in china roots for china south rail. want you to say, "win, g.e." >> do you not see any reason that maybe the public doesn't hold american corporations up here in the highest... >> i think this notion that it's the population of the u.s. against the big companies is just wrong. it's just wrong-minded, and when i walk through a factory with you or anybody, you know, our employees basically like us. >> they do. i saw it. >> they root for us. they want us to win. i don't know why you don't. >> since our report first aired, jeff immelt has remained a lightning rod for some critics. but immelt's brand of realistic optimism continues unabated. coming up, tough times in the american heartland. >> i wonder when you look forward now, what you think about rehiring people. >> when we hire somebody, we're definitely gonna need them. we're not gonna hire one person until we need two or three, and we're probably not gonna hire two until we need four or five. >> the economic struggles of newton, iowa, when 60 minutes on cnbc returns. u

today it starts selling the surface tablet, but also today microsoft's customers, like toshi toshiba,n tablets powered by the microsoft windows 8 operating system, which is what you're seeing me play with here. i really enjoyed there. you can see there's a lot of glare on the screen but other than that it's pretty cool. you can use it like a big, big heavy ipad. the reason it's big and heavy is it's also a full powered operating system. it's going to run all those big boy programs you need like excel or photo shop or specialized programs your company needs. so let's go to the chalk board here. there's a lot of confusion. there are three tablets going on sale today. ipad mini available for preorder, that's just a small ipad. the surface tablet, that's for sale today. microsoft runs windows 8 on that, but it won't run regular windows programs. and the host of other products running windows 8 that work like tablets but will run legacy programs. i'll be honest with you, some of these third party companies are a little annoyed at microsoft when they have got their own tablet out there. >>

i didn't include the romney the toshiba just to give you an idea, 40% at this time said they would votett romney, about 70% said they were unsure. in terms of gennaker never look at the next next bargraph, women and men can we see that it is definitely still a slight events among women voters for barack obama. we see really a large divide moving on between catholics and non-catholics. this divide is being driven by those hispanic latino voters that mark was making a reference to. i don't have the data here by hispanic or white catholics, but in the prri data, 72% of hispanic catholics indicated they wanted to vote for barack obama, only 75 -- 45% of white catholics indicated support for obama which is lower. this is lower than what he was able to pool in the 2008 election. and lastly insurance looking at catholic women and catholic men, we do see the gender gap certainly extends to this group as well. 50% of catholic women compared to 50% of catholic men said they would be likely to support barack obama. the american values survey also asked, response to indicate which issue is most imp

is the toshiba was a health care bill which i just seem like a good idea at the time to him. so i don't think it's the right situation to the olympics is about a copper by. business i agree with john isn't culpable. in a funny way it harder to anticipate to me at least what they're white house administration will look like in 2013. that it may would normally be the case if a bob dole or jon mccain or bill clinton, these are people of been in office a long time either innocent or governorship, i think one had a sense of how their strengths and weaknesses. i'm not sure either case you that we now. and the question is i suppose the campaign, what have we learned from the campaigns. i'll think about that for a minute and let bart -- i think it is an interesting question in this case. >> it is a good one but there's no obvious, there is no obvious thing that leaps out that you can save look at the way romney has run the campaign, therefore he will be this kind of president. and i think enron mike lee, and maybe an obama's, too, there's a pretty sharp -- campaigning you have to go
