tv   After the Bell  FOX Business  April 14, 2014 4:00pm-5:01pm EDT

4:00 pm
fixed income is still a problem. [closing bell ringing] we watch some of the other banks later in the week. liz: bells have rung on wall street. roller coast other out on coney island or any six flags because we lost so much air with the s&p. hear that? nasdaq actually did go down. more than 10 points below the flat line. it lost about 60 points, climbing back. still not gaining a 51 points it had after the citi retail sales. adam: that's right. liz: time for the front page headlines. retail seas jumping the most in 18 months in march. commerce department announced sales increased 1.1%. another sign that the pace of economic growth and perhaps the weather helping to pick up after a long winter. adam: "wall street journal" reports that google will buy titan aerospace, make i of those solar-powered drones.
4:01 pm
titan had been in talks with facebook earlier this year. liz: facebook's mark zuckerberg may look to get into the banking business as well. financial times reports that facebook is close to have regulatory approval in ireland for users to store and use electronic money. adam: amazon's stock is going higher after "the wall street journal" reported that the internet giant is planning unveil the first smart phone in june. sources say that phone might replace 3-d images out use of special glasses. liz: tiaa-cref buying asset manager, nuveen investments. price tag, $6.5 billion. the new firm will have $11 billion under assets in management. adam: gm replacing human resources and executives. as g-m fights a pr nightmare over the botched recalls of cars with faulty ignition switches. "after the bell" starts right now.
4:02 pm
liz: well, if you weren't paying attention in the 3:00 eastern time show, that you missed all the fun. actually it wasn't that much fun to see stocks lose much of their gains. but stocks back up in the green today. we break down all the action. jason rotman, managing partner who says investors should look to buy companies that are at a discount right now. pickings are slim lately. we have al frank asset management's chief investment officer to tell us where he sees most value in the market. larry shover in the pits of cme. talking to traders at top of my hour just an hour ago. they all believe the russian jet that buzzed u.s. warship, at least news that came out that happened over the weekend, bevel hit the markets and markets were covered. whatwhat do we read into that? >> we read no one knows what is going on. right now the market feels
4:03 pm
forced and contrived. what occurred in the last 48 hours to give us a rally we had today? very nice but citigroup earnings were definitely good but earnings season is young. retail sales were definitely good as well but not enough to change gdp. out of europe we hear a lot of recycled rhetoric as it were. u.s. investors are not about to change their investment beliefs with regards to russia and ukraine. so honestly, i think it is just confusion. we see volume is very light right now. everybody seems to wait, waiting for some, less volatility and price stabilization. adam: talk about something we don't have to wait for. jason, why the euphoria overciti? seems they were struck with same thing that hit jpmorgan chase and wells fargo? stock and bond trading took a hit. revenue essentially beat expectations but down year-over-year. the loan loss provisions. seems they're juicing their balance sheet that way. what is going on? >> ultimately the market is
4:04 pm
still in somewhat of a bullish mode. in a bull market there is some semblance of good news, big companies beating estimates and whatnot he you will get some momentum buying but i think overall the bullishness that existed in the past five years is actually colossally shifting because of this huge interest rate shift. when is the last time you heard of central bank chairman talk about rising interest rates? not in the past, five, six years. yellen is doing it. i think rising interest rate environment and steady tapering is happening right now. it is not -- happening. liz: she touch ad hot stove and backed down. people were saying, rookie mistake for her, even having brought that up. i do need to have you address that. it didn't appear they're going anywhere on that discussion? >> well there is, basically the fed has too mandates, officially. the first mandate is maximum employment. the second mandate is price stability. liz: right. >> the third unwritten mandate is talk the markets up anytime
4:05 pm
you get a dip and that is really what happened. adam: john what do you think of that? is this the time to be getting in. some people saying correction, correction. carl icahn saying major correction. i would think we would get burned if we put our foot in now? >> i don't think so. think about what happened on friday in the market. we went down for no apparent reason just as we can argue we went up today for no apparent reason. we actually have pretty good economic data out last week. even if you think about the fed and people worried about a fed tightening, the fed made it clear they will remain friendly and accommodative for the foreseeable future. yes we continue to taper. that is good news. that is not bad news. we want to see the fed reduce the balance sheet. the reason it is doing that because the economy is getting healthier. which in turn is positive for the stock market because corporate profits are likely to improve. so i like the way the markets are behaving. i like fact that people pay more attention to valuations here in the last month or two. focusing on undervalued stocks
4:06 pm
and selling off some of those high-flyers this is positive in my mind. liz: they are hard to find but i'm with you there. this brings me back to larry shover. if you x-out the sabre-rattling in the black sea you see better than expected retail sales. upwardly revised february retail sales and citigroup -- and here comes the sun so to speak and literally looks like any kind of decent data we're getting might be built upon? >> yeah. i can't agree with you more. we have to remember that as the weather gets warmer our numbers will probably get better. household finance is get being better. consumer credit is getting better. auto sales the best number in seven years. manufacturing is on the mend. the employment picture is better. i do know wage growth is not there. that is bad thing we need to address. overall employment is getting better. i still think we're in a material bull market.
4:07 pm
we're -- adam: wage growth, wage growth is to the there but things are going to get better. we won't even talk about a china slowdown. >> yeah. adam: i'm curious, jason, given all that to the side where do i get opportunity here? you have stocks you like, 3d systems. what are the stocks i might risk taking a bet on right now? >> exactly. you read my mind this is extremely timely, extremely important. listen, the s&p 500 has gone down what, six, 7%. for whatever reason there are serious powerhouse companies down 10, 15, 20%. 3d systems is down 350% from january. that is a huge move for a company that made half a billion dollars last year? i love 3d systems i think it has tremendously bright future. i love it more the fact it is down 50%. i like bp. bp has a 5% yield. that is down 10% from highs. i love that as a payer.
4:08 pm
liz: like three desystems. they come on the though. liz: you have and international gaming technology. that is quite a mix. >> we've done well with our value selections last couple years. when i'm invited on your airwaves i want to give folks that haven't had their day in the sun. stocks that lagged behind and all three are down for the year. we look valuations from our prudent newsletter and high yield. ensco, in the contract drilling space. 6% p-e ratio and. freeport has oil in addition to copper and gold. pe around 11. international game, another became beat up of late, the slot machine maker, 3% different den
4:09 pm
yield there and p-e ratio of 11 or 12 times we view as trough earnings as the company just warned a couple of weeks ago. adam: all right. thank you, guys. liz: good to see all of you. jason rotman, john buckingham with larry shover. larry come back shortly best futures close? >> yes, ma'am. liz: good stuff. adam: then we'll talk about the china slowdown. hashtag selloff. twitter's stock down almost 40% this year. is more pain to come? one expert says, oh, yeah, get ready for a much bigger collapse. he will join us next. liz: what makes his words more important, he called it, he called it, well, well ahead of this. plus the crisis over ukraine intensifies. reports of a russian jet passing at close range, buzzing a u.s. warship a dozen times. wouldn't back off. the news hitting stocks today. what does it all mean for the diplomacy your money and the future of eastern europe? we're talking to a former u.s. ambassador to ukraine and an
4:10 pm

4:13 pm
adam: national bank of greece is sinking into the red on reports it is moving ahead with plans for a share offering to boost capital. liz: let's head bake to nicole petallides. she covered this stock very closely. nicole. >> it has been for some time as we followed this story over in greece as they once again need to raise some capital. we saw the national bank of greece, it is a good indicator, of the country overall, liz, and what we're facing and you're seeing now the stock was down almost 15% today. so they are moving ahead with a plan to sell shares, raise capital, to the tune, over just $3 billion. they have goldman sachs and morgan stanley on board as global coordinators to help them do exactly this. so they need to raise this money here to keep on tap with all the plans and regulations set for them. greece certainly has to do it once again. they have their biggest lender
4:14 pm
now, they have to answer to and raise the money. back to you. adam: nicole, thank you. liz: we have s&p futures closing. want to head back to larry shover pits of cme. interesting indication tomorrow after what happened today. >> you're exactly right. this present environment remind me of late january or early february. the prerogative the market has to go down and people saying stocks are fat after 15 times earnings. europe is not in a digs inflationary spiral. and ecb is standing by blind. and china can't engineer 7% growth. that said everybody seems to be on the sidelines waiting for yellen to speak tomorrow. we have cpi tomorrow. we also have china economic data coming out tomorrow night. we need stabilization in the market. will we head down the 200-day moving average of 1760? seems like the prerogative. i don't buy it. i don't believe it but it might have to happen. liz: larry, great to see you. thank you so much, larry shover. >> thank you.
4:15 pm
adam: after a massive run-up last year, twitter fallen out of favor with wall street dropping almost 40% year-to-date. thedown fall coming as no surprise to our next guest who predicted a massive collapse on this very show back in early february. >> it is that the valuation is ridiculously high, that there is nowhere, much to go. my reprediction it will drop at least another 50%. liz: that was his prediction february 6th. where does he see it now. we bring back vivek wadhwa from stanford university. thanks for coming on. >> sure. liz: i remember at the time you were very forceful about this and said what the reasons were but explain to our viewers how you see the stock now for twitter? >> there is a no way to go but down unless twitter does a magic moon shoot, like facebook did buying whatsapp. here is the problem, social media is becoming less social.
4:16 pm
children are not longer going on like they did before and broadcasting to everyone in the world. it is only celebrities like you and adam who, you know people want to follow. so about half, about 40% of the twitter users are not even broadcasting on it. they're listening to people like you. so the market is shrinking. adam: very connect, you bring up a very important point here is that twitter, even if you use their numbers, 240 million subscribers or users that is still relatively miniscule when you look at facebook and some competitors they have already surrendered say in china, even in europe. will they ever come back? >> no, they won't because they're much better apps out there. this is why facebook, did something which seemed really crazy by buying whatsapp for $20 billion. mark zuckerberg really gets it. i have to hand it to him, he defied the odds here and he is figured out how he needs to survive. twitter doesn't have a mark
4:17 pm
zuckerberg. this is why i'm not optimistic about them. liz: not optimistic. but looking at twitter overall, this is a company where we just had billionaire investor jeff green who has been long the stock. he has owned a bunch of the shares he got through a technology fund that he got into through jpmorgan, where all of sudden, around, december he tells me, liz, i'm shorting this thing. i think maybe one day it will be amazing. it does kind of own the space but it doesn't justify a $70 price tag it went as high as 70.72. he started shorting it. it looks like a brilliant decision now. but you're saying that continues even though they're striking deals with all kinds of businesses and they do have some type of a business model? >> because the market is shrinking. the number of users is shrinking. 44% are just listening in but 25, 30% are bots. that brings it down to 30, 40, 50, million, active users, 70,
4:18 pm
100 million. whatever the number is small. no way to go. how much can you squeeze out of current user space and how much advertising do you sell them before they get fed up and go to something different? >> that is losing model. adam: you're talking about social media just isn't social the way people think about it. in our industry, media is going gangbusters trying to figure out if it is possible to drive people using social media to tvs and vice versa, tvs to social media and get some kind of integration. are you saying that day will never come? >> no, in fact you should exactly do that but more likely you'll be on whatsapp or instagram or pinterest or one of the other sites than twitter because you're finding that people are now talking to their families, to their friends. it is smaller circles they're talking to because they want privacy. they don't want to be broadcasting to everyone. social media hit a stage, like internet. it will be everywhere. the current model of twitter may not be the way we broadcast
4:19 pm
information to our friends in the future. we'll do more private setting than we do right now. liz: tough to wring money out of that we saw some of these stats we found rather stunning. 44% of people who have twitter accounts have never sent a tweet. one in 10 tweets are sent from 30% of the accounts or one to 10 tweets, 30% of the accounts, only tweeted one to 10 times. charlie gasparino and i are insane. we're constantly tweeting but use it as promotion. they're not making any money off us. >> that's right. people like you who are fueling twitter's survival. we're making it survive because celebrities on there and everyone wants to listen to celebrities. it is awesome in that respect but you can't justify the $20 billion plus market cap. that is where the problem is. adam: vivek, i was here when you made the prediction about twitter. good to have you back seeing you accurate. we do want twitter, we like positive business models. >> i'm active on twitter.
4:20 pm
use it all the time like you do. liz: i follow you, very connect, thanks. adam: all the best could you. >> all the best. liz: call it the sleeping giant of tech that is waking up. a turn-around story that many investors, many of you out there have overlooked. coming up we tell you whether you should be jumping into sleeping giant's stock right now. adam: i tweeted about this earlier. it is sleek, it is sexy, not talking about liz claman. can you accelerate from 0 to 60 in three seconds? liz can't. we'll take the wraps off this speed demon. it is outside our studio. we're talking about lam georgine any.

liz: pro-russia protesters openly defy the ukrainian government's deadline to lay down their arms. dozens of armed men storming yet another police station in the eastern part of the country and the escalating crisis in ukraine is spooking the markets. look at this. when headlines crossed today that a russian fighter jet made multiple close range passes near an american navy warship over the weekend, u.s. stocks immediately fell from their intraday highs. you see that big divot there on the right. happened to the nasdaq, s&p, the dow, russell. the u.s. and europe are threatening further actions and sanctions that actually includes the u.k. what will happen next and how
4:25 pm
will it impact your money? joining us john hirt, former u.s. ambassador to ukraine and thomas company managing director ambassador hurst, i want to get to you first. this is extraordinarily disturbing. we know that the cia chief was in kiev over the weekend. what does that tell you and how much worse does this get? >> well, mr. putin seems bent and determined to exercise serious influence in the ukraine and if not have ukraine pursue eastward leaning course perhaps take another chunk of ukraine, except he is afraid of western sanctions because his own supporters in russia are opportunists than nationalists. he is trying to seize parts of ukraine creating disorder via stealth agents and then complain that russians and russian speakers in eastern ukraine are under threat. that is his game. liz: he is trying to destablize
4:26 pm
certain other regions, it appears. >> that's right. liz: we had bob hormats, former state department deputy and he was saying exact same thing. he is standing by the administration's announcement, clearly russians are complicitly and passively helping or actively helping. thomas you were on the show six weeks ago when this all began, shortly thereafter. you traveled to the region. you helped build a ukrainian business leaders coalition to do what? to do exactly what? >> we're looking to business leaders from ukraine and business leaders from the u.s. together to show unity and confidence in the country. now is the time that ukraine certainly needs that it has been a problem obviously to look at ukraine as an investment destination for the west but that is exactly the reason why more focus needs to be placed on it. putin's game is to try to isolate these regions, to try to slowly encroach on certain eastern borders. and he is doing that
4:27 pm
successfully. we're going from a situation where we had relative stability three months ago to a situation where now we're back into what was ultimately potentially a full-blown cold war. liz: guess what, john? he is destablizing his own country because the ruble is dropping and the stock index is dropping since this all began. according apparently to bob hormats they can't go to the credit markets right now. they have to try to hustle credit markets and at some point the richie rich oligarchs are saying, mr. putin you have to cut this out. >> that's exactly right. it is certainly a problem. when we approach our investors, private equity firms here in the u.s. and europe they laugh at the concept of going into ukraine today. that is all the more reason why we need to start picking up the pressure, trying to get people focused bringing liquidity to the market desperately needed right now. right now interest rates are
4:28 pm
skyrocketing. yields are widening in ukraine. now is the time that the country needs assistance. liz: ambassador, what is the number one most important thing the u.s., perhaps and europe can do? we now know that the u.k. foreign secretary is very angry and says russia has to pay for this kind of behavior. what should they all be doing? sticking together? there was a peteing in luxembourg. what should we do? >> if the united states and western europe act together and decisively we can probably stop mr. putin from destablizing ukraine. i say probably. it is not definite. we need to do two things. there have to be serious sanctions in response to the current efforts of this version. united states is already sanctioned one russian bank. we need to sanction a couple of more. europeans, especially brits have to join news this. at the same time we have to take series of military steps. increase deployments to the eastern members of nato, baltics, poland romania and offer ukraine, both
4:29 pm
counterinsurgency advice and lethal equipment. anti-aircraft, anti-take weapons. let the red army know if they come across-the-boarder they will take serious casualties. liz: you have to carry a very big stick here. thomas, the last time you were on you were checking to see how business deals were going. what is the status there? are they frozen? is anybody doing business there right now? nobody in essence is doing any business there right now. government and private sector is preoccupied. everyone would like to think about doing deals. everyone would like to think about getting working capital relief to business but fact of the matter people are waiting for elections we hope will occur on the 25th of may. people are waiting for additional diplomatic negotiations but at the end of the day it's frozen and the situation is only getting more tenuous. liz: john, last word here, very quickly. >> again, with a statement from the british foreign minister's a good thing. if we're able to take serious steps the next day or two,
4:30 pm
sanctions against the russians, it will give mr. putin pause. and demonstrate support for the government in kiev. liz: sanctions may actually work. former ambassador to ukraine, john herbst. and bill fredder, we're glad you're back safely. adam, over to you. adam: while investing world is watching names like facebook an apple during the big selloff there, is one under the radar name that managed to outperform while nobody was watching. we'll tell you who it is and whether the rally will continue. the need for speed. look what we have outside the studio, the new lamborghini, huracan. don't say hurricane. drive that in manhattan. yeah, right. we take you inside the 610-horsepower, v-10 supercar. of lamborghini. could you drive that in manhattan on a "first on fox business" interview. ♪

4:36 pm
year-over-year. will fall a couple of%, year-over-year. it is getting better. last year it fell over 10. we're seeing better. we're seeing servers, storage, networking, areas where hp started to develop a presence and hp is taking share n the pc world we're seeing they're starting to excute on enterprise. liz: hp has big market share. lenovo overtook them. nonetheless, hp doesn't have a tablet that is a must-have. it doesn't have a phone. how can it survive with laptops? you mentioned servers and just pcs? can it? >> well, for now it can. what it will be challenged showing it can extend a road map into the new devices and allowing companies to work with them. thus far she has done a good job convincing folks, hey, you might not think of us for a tablet or smartphone but we can get you there. we'll have the all the infrastructure behind it to work seamlessly. liz: what is the announce meant getting into 3d printers do. >> i don't think it all had that
