guy had amazon as the bad. facebook is good so my good would actually be amazon my bad would be facebook which makes a good "fast money". here's why amazon is good. they focused on profitability over the last four or five quarters much to, i think, at times disappointment because people were finally looking at this company as a growth company that stopped growing how do you have this multiple. ultimately i do think they will start to give you north of 20% neutral growth and i think that's really the issue. when i look at facebook, despite the fact that it's been and maybe because of it's been such a great run for the stock the realities around the regulatory environment the libra coin is not a game changer for them revenue wise any time soon their expense margins continues to go through the roof that would probably be my ugly if it wasn't for google which i do think is a great company and agree with karen the problem with google right now and what makes this quarter ugly not the company and not the valuation, n

amazon spent more on shipping to ramp up the amazon prime service. the first time in two years that the company has missed earnings expectations still, stock is only off by about 1.5% 19.44 is the last tick >>> google parent alphabet beating estimates on the top and bottom lines for the latest earnings report. that's giving the stock a big boost. it had continuing dominance of internet search and that stock is up by 8.2%. you heard what mark mahaney said here washington doesn't matter what comes into this. it's additional taxes they have to pay frankly, that's what the stock is reflecting. many of these stocks are reflecting that. they don't think -- >> the fine is now a tax >> where does it go though >> the money the tax? >> well, actually, i don't really know where taxes go either but the fines -- all these fines, where do they go? does it ever do any good >> they do a couple things they oftentimes pay for some of the enforcement action -- >> here's $5 billionto do an investigation -- >> if you have a department of justice, you have to pay these la

sales are not actually amazon direct they are third-party retailers, in many cases using amazon's fulfillment. it's not just amazon's platform alone giving some argument that this isn't quite as cut and dry as the treasury secretary presented. take a look in shopify it has a $36 billion market cap. that has tripled in two years. and its business is really allowing businesses to compete without being on amazon necessarily, though as part of the latform, you can also operate on amazon. don't forget about etsy. they have an $8 billion market cap. that has quadrupled in two years. amazon was competing directly with etsy. and you know what, they are still doing just fine. one area that has popped out for amazon anti-trustwise is again that third party retailing platform there have been some complaints that amazon has a lot of data about what customer demand is for those third party goods. can then use that against its competition that might be an angle that the feds choose to pursue but we haven't even talked about cloud, kelly you know, amazon has not really tied the retail and cloud businesses c

it could be amazon amazon has made a lot of enemies. there are a lot of complaints about they're blocking access to the marketplace, unfair picking of winners and losers when it comes to their marketplace. >> okay. >> day of the week it's what's been tweeted lately and which politician wants to pick on whom. >> we have to leave the conversation there it will continue though. thank you very much, guys. >>> still to come, the stagecoach is ready to roll. wells fargo results are next by the way, here are the futures right now. take a look at what's been happening after we've already heard from three dow components. dow futures picked up. we were in negative territory down by 25 points. this morning at 6:00 a.m we're indicated up by 35 points. s&p futures up by 2, the nasdaq up by 3 and "squawk box" will be back [ dogs barking ] what about him? let's do it.

can we say that prime day is doing what amazon wants it to do >> yeah. i think in certain ways amazon is winning i think one area where it really does have leverage and what shineses through on prime day is its massive membership base. that's this loyalty aspect of the prime membership, these people that pay $119 a year to get things like free shipping and whatnot. walmart can't compete with that. there's pros and cons to being paying prime member. we see those shoppers on average, a prime customer, they spend more, so that's very valuable to amazon i think those are the people that are really turning up over this 48-hour event, those paying prime customers. >> those are paying prime customers. what about people new to prime will this get more people to join up? >> amazon for the five years they have done -- this is the fifth year of them doing the prime event. each year they said we added more and more paying prime members. they use today as a tool to add more and last year was the first time the company disclosed how many of those members they have, wh

deidre. >> melissa, put simply amazon is spending more and earning less but it is amazon so it is a return to old days of growth over profit. one day shipping costing more than the company initially estimated. >> it does create a shock to the system we're working through that now, and we expect we will be working through that for a number of quarters but when the dust settles we will, you know, regain our cost efficiency over time. >> he added that the response to one-day shipping has been positive and volume has picked up also on the positive side, we did see top-line revenue growth pick up to the 20% year over year level some headwinds cloeing growth in cloud computing, facing more competition from microsoft and google remember, key is the race with microsoft for the $10 billion government jedi cloud contract e market expects them to have 9% of the u.s. ad market at the end of the year. on the regular torr regulatory, surprise here. they have a longstanding policy of not commenting on regulatory matters. when pressed during the media call he said that amazon's guidance does not include a

to tim's point, the stocks had tremendous runs, at least amazon and facebook you look at amazon, into earnings now, you have to wonder, do you want to try to play it from the long side into earnings with this headline risk out there. it is interesting, quickly gene said facebook's five points out of ten which i sort of get, but you talk about stifling competition. i mean that's been -- >> amazon, that's their game. >> -- for a long, long time and it is one of the lead lines i'm reading in the doj headline. >> plus there's the political, bezos. >> no question. >> you can't think of this administration who went after at&t time warner when it was a loser there's another element here. >> yes >>> coming up, chipotle, snap, visa all on the move in after hours. their conference calls getting started. we will break down the headlines straight ahead texas instrument, the stock hitting a new high after hitting a blowout quarter. back now with two more parts of the market that are ready for take breakout. we're live from times square in new york city, much more "fast money" right after this. xfi

now, amazon went public earlier. but exactly right. it's very well established it's a massive, you know, piece of the economy, right? i mean, just in terms of how it's intertwined with it the thing about all those numbers about his wealth that's, that i take away, that the averages obscure the fact that at one point his wealth went down from 90%. in 2000 to 2001, the stock went down 90% and people didn't know if it was going to actually have a second act. >> the other point i'd also say for the 25-year-old part of this, the online delivery shopping products, that's not really profitable, which is the other extraordinary take away. find another company that has grown so successfully over 25 years with the core business being loss making give or take. >> or running a the a loss. >> that's kpraet extraordinary uber couldn't do that unless it develops something like amazon web services which is a cash cow to pour profits in the other businesses. >> it makes the argument for the strength of a company, of an investment long term that continu

amazon is the flavor of the day in the situation >> is there reason for regulators to think that amazon is implementing anti-competitive practices in its different businesses >> well, the thing is actually organically competitors are rising that are start to go quietly compete with amazon. i think there's an organic market practice. you have the google antitrust in the u.s., the huge if a is book fine recently, $5 billion. that should be trillions of dollars. i think regulation is often a measure of societal animous. >> if you were to rate on a spectrum the names of big tech companies with liability -- >> right >> who is on top >> i think they're the folks you're seeing at the hearings today on the hill. it is amazon it is facebook it is google it's the folks who have an enormous amount of power at least in part as a result of the tremendous amount of consumer data that they have and the requirement that is going to come along that they manage that consumer data in an intelligent fashion. so, again, amazon's got a number of other of these companies have anti-competitive questions, part

so i think, you know, amazon cares. obviously, chewy's ceo came out of amazon, i think it waw strategically a smart decision by the board to bring on an ex-amazon executive. he knows the playbook. this market is big there's plenty of runway for multiple vendors in this market, and i think, again, consumerization of pets is happening, but again, i agree. i do think there's a moat. when you look at the net promoter scores, you look at the customers that i speak to, my friends that use this product love it. and they have no reason to switch they're also doing things to differentiate the model. they're getting the pharmacy we think over time they could create digital marketplaces, as much as you spend for your bird food, how much time and money does it take to actually watch the bird, the cat, or the dog when you're on vacation? it's a lot more expensive than the food there's other things you can do around pet care, around long-term care there's other digital pieces to this model they can introduce that would effectively be

. >>> amazon has kicked off its annual shopping bonanza, prime day. this year's event will stretch over two days and is expected to be the retailer's biggest yet. elizabeth joins us with more tell us what to expect. >> that's right, so prime day is proving to be an increasingly por important day for amazon as it tries to lure in more subscriptions, which is that high margin business it sees possible sales growth in the past few quarters. we are looking at prime day this year this is a 48-hour event. it's gone up in length over the past few years last year is about 36 hours we're seeing a demand from amazon to keep people there longer by offering more than a million deals. this is a very international day. this is focused on markets not just in the u.s., but on trying to lure customers from all of its various markets with deals across the board last year 100 million products were sold, but ultimately what it comes down to is how this translates into sales. if you look at the historical data, what you can see is that this one day has turned into a prett

that is going to be profitable if amazon rises by 4%. the interesting thing here is taking advantage of the somewhat lower than average options premiums and using a spread to do it. they're able to get quite a lot of leverage on a relatively small move for amazon of 4% to the upside payout of about four to one. >> you probably saw this action, pete >> yes. >> how are you positioned? >> i love that kind of thing i'm not in amazon but i love that spread because it is a great risk/reward as mike was pointing out you are investing a dollar which you could lose the entire thing or if you hit a nice number and go up to push it higher, it could be suddenly $5. >> great leverage. >> great leverage. >> or more leverage as it is known here. >> on this side of the pond. >> please, sir. >> i'm going to give you one. >> okay. >> no doubt they will report a great quarter. however, is the setup as good as it was a month, month and a half ago when it was $1,800 stock. >> same thing about facebook. >> same thing that happened. facebook bounced against th

the amazon effect. the on-demand economy means it's more useful to have supplies closer to the economy where you can deliver quickly. one-day delivery will become a two-hour delivery and ultimately a report in the special report amazon is thinking, how can we get to 15-minute delivery. >> you can't do that from china. >> you can't but i guess that fine line vijay is the gap between what people are willing to pay for convenience and what they are simply willing to pay. >> this is the tension you put your finger right on it. as we move from an old model of globalization that was make it incredibly cheap, sell it at walmart for a few bucks. that was an efficient model. cut costs 1 or 2%. we're now entering a messier world of slow-balization but smarter, shorter, faster supply chains and that's going to create a lot of possibilities for companies that want to do, let's say, rapid turn around more innovation. innovation loops get faster when you're closer to the customer. >> so you look at india, for example

>> so i own amazon and i actually own amazon not for e commerce, not for prime day, of course this year prime days. but because of amazon web services here's a company that has an overall operating margin of 7%, the average company in the united states has won many the double digits. here's a situation where if they can continue to grow their revenues, 15 to 20% per year, their earnings growth because of expansion will probably grow at double that clip and so no, it's not inexpensive. never going to be a value stock, but then on the other hand, i think it shaould be a stake on anybody's portfolio. >> all right, fine, we get a share of each. that's kind of the seem i see with all of these. what happens if they go with facebook and you spin out the what's app and instagram spin out youtube for shareholders like me, it might be more valuable thanks, appreciate it. >> cool to be here zpl good to get your point of view >> all right this chart is a pretty picture for snap investors the share's up nearly 200% so will it continue to make investors smile? trading nation is is next and the nba se

on the nasdaq, amazon will release its second quarter results. investors would like to focus on how the firm manages costs from the one-day shipping strategy is announced for u.s. customers joining us around the december desk is jonathan ringer. i don't want to get too much into the weeds of the one-day shipping strategy, if you're not a giant firm like amazon or alibaba, how do you survive? >> it's tough. the market is going through extraordinary change well known names are struggling to survive the things that mattered in the past, strong local position, good product, less service, they're still important. but the rules of the game have changed. now retailers need to excel at technology, at data analytics and at innovation. people like amazon and alibaba are changing the game and setting a new hurdle on those dimensions >> how much has the tech structure contributed to that, in the sense that anyone with an online presence has not been taxed the way bricks and mortar businesses have been taxed you have rental expenses, et cetera now it's part o

the amazons? >> those are the games i don't know that i shifted away from those names, but when you look at the names, fang names. expand it more and look at what microsoft has been doing and look at cisco. they have been performing. part ofs that that when we look at the companies and you look at the growth perspective and the guidance from the various names, by the way, i know when we are talking about the earnings and everybody is concerned about the numbers in the past or whatever, there were names out there that absolutely crushed it. they crush it on their revenues and you are seeing some of it in the semis as well. a lot of these names, there is a lot of different areas right now that you can put your money. financials is the biggest let. everybody knows that it has been that debt stone that when does that finally kick in it still hasn't. >> this is going to be the question for the next many weeks. whether the market is expecting too much from the fed. let's bring in mike at the new york st

if i you viewed most at risk, probably amazon, baba, facebook. least would be apple >> why amazon? >> because two distinct businesses and i think that is really where i think investors went from background noise a little more of a focus to see what comes out of hearings. >> and what is your take, david, so which is most at risk >> i think the companies most at risk, facebook clearly in the crosshairs of regulatoregulator obviously if you look at amazon and their ability to control the access of thousands of businesses to their customers across the aws platform, i would see amazon as being more at risk perhaps than facebook. facebook already has enough issues of their own to begin with and as we look at government interest in the tech sector, and these companies specifically, we also have to look over towards europe and see what france is proposed around the digital services tax so from that standpoint, looking at government oversight and regulation of tech, it is not just the u.s., but progrperhapse global >> and do you feel like it is priced into the stocks this political risk >>

give you consultants to kind of help you navigate the big amazon landscape. we're like an extension of your team. lemonis: i thought lisa did great. she went from somebody feeling like she didn't belong somewhere, to sitting in a conference room at amazon's new york headquarters basically saying, "we're entrepreneurs. let's do business together." thank you very much. jennifer: thanks so much. sallie ann: yeah. thank you, marcus. lemonis: after meeting with amazon, i asked cory and lisa to meet me in downtown englewood. there was some unfinished business i wanted to discuss. we are gonna look at office spaces, right? so walk me through the whole office idea that you guys have. lisa: let's say we have new accounts, new clients, it's not gonna look good. you can't come to my house, and people are gonna starbucks or coffee shops, which is what we currently do. lemonis: what do you think, cory? cory: i think we need it because we're gonna need customer service, too, when we get online. we're gonna need an account department to get accounts. lemonis: so let's just

amazon, home depot, starbucks and nike outperforming and jay jacobs of global x funds are here to tell us what this means for the investors. here we have the top five names in the consumer discretionary group. when they outperform they're $100 billion or more, the whole consumer discretionary group will outperform. amazon is 25% of the sector. >> right if you look at xly then the heavyweights performing well are what you want to have and the smaller names in the s&p 500 if those underperform then something like the invesco rcd is going to lag. you need to understand what's inside of each portfolio. >> equal weight isn't doing it the big guys are moving this "l" brands and best buy did all right. when you deal with market cap weighted indexes they're not the ones that move if you're picking stocks they'll do all right how -- do you buy the index or buy individual names or take the risk >> if you want market weighted or for the representativeness, that's one way if you want to laser in on some of the high growth names you can look at funds like millennials which targets specific companie

look out for amazon as far as the major logistics provider >> victor anthony of aegis capital. thank you. >> thank you >>> let's get to the action in the bond market today. rick santelli is tracking that at the cme >> hi, kelly two-day charts you see the big drop yesterday right at 8:30 eastern. at that time we were getting the durable goods headline also mario draghi. everything is pretty much the same pattern however, let's look at minus bund in mid-may. that's a good thing. let's out run. maybe we can out run the bad policy the questionable policy because as you look at the euro versus the dollar, the lowest level since may of 2017. maybe they are in thmanipulating their currency kelly, back to you. >> rick, thank you very much >>> coming up, beyond meat versus bitcoin and pet power and lean hog getting leaner that is in today's tasting menu. today's power house is 58,000 square feet. actual 2 karat gold covered front door we will take a look inside and check e icpot xtthpre inne every day, visionaries are creating the future. so, every day, we put our latest technology and

amazon was 6%. apple was about 4% facebook, 3% jpmorgan, surprise there, that was about 2% you put it all together, the top ten companies in the s&p were 34% of the gain from 2,000 to 3,000. the other 490 were the other 66% of the reason that we went up. that's my point. you see, 10, 15 companies are the ones that matter if they move, the whole market moves and nothing else really is that important overall why are these tech-oriented companies so important why are people doing anything to get ahold of them? that's where the growth is that's where the majority of the world growth is. investors will pay anything at this point for growth. carl, back to you. >> bob, as you're talking, got dow 27k for the first time let's get to the bond pits rick santelli, good morning. >> yes, some historic markers going on look at the three-day chart of several parts of the yield curve. let's start out with two-year note yields. you can see that they are definitely right side lower than the left side. now, let's move

amazon down 1. these are not meaningful downside moves in light of what could be otherwise ominous headlines. >> you don't believe that if the government really put pressure on amazon and said, you know, this marketplace of yours, we don't like it. or if they go to apple which is dependent on services long-term, they made that a strategic part of their strategy, if they said this app store, you have to open it up. those -- anything like that or any push in that direction i would think would have an impact >> certainly the app stores are an area of vulnerability across apple and google i think if we think through what has been the traditional framework by which the government pursued antitrust, it's been largely grounded in consumer price and choice. with the app stores, you have things that do demonstrate kind of common carrier characteristics which have been long regulated >> what is the lesson of the at&t/time warner transaction that was one transaction where most people who studied anti trust wou

what do you expect out of facebook, amazon and alphabet? >> contessa, from a high level, this is a transition quarter, which is different than the wake-up quarter that netflix had. a transition quarter means there will be headwinds. but i think that the themes are on the broader f.a.n.g. will be intact at most risk next week is going to be google in part because last quarter they had a dip in their revenue. they had four years of consistent 20% revenue growth. that dipped last quarter that's not the reason why there's a head winwind they have to be more skillful at navigating questions on what potential regulation could come. google has been largely spared of these regulations and tweaks from regulatory bodies but i think ultimately that's something that investors will weigh more heavily on. and facebook is still in that camp they have regulatory questions i would put those in the headwinds camp apple is a unique case they're the only one of the f.a.n.g. companies that have exposure to china. that's about 10% of their business and that chin

amazon on a high today approaching 2050 and netflix 419 all-time high. some of the names we have forgotten about, they are beginning to participate, once again. this is not an environment that indicates this thing will free fall and we'll go into a selloff. >> when is the meeting, in a couple weeks >> yeah. >> what if we get our act together, again. the bulls. new all-time high. >> i don't think the all-time high or not makes that much of a difference to the fed. i think that extreme market moves like being down a lot matters. it's asymmetric approach. >> the fed cut rates in 1995 and the stock market made an all-time high that day the day they did it. >> also '07. >> let me finish my thought. the reason they cut rates in 1995 was not because the economy was in bad shape they were undoing some of what they had done in 1994. if that's the justification for this they think they went too far in december and this is a give back it's forgivable. not like people are going to say, the fed has lost control. i'm not like 100% anti, but it's way more about optics

amazon a little smaller of a business but it's expected to grow faster because it's not as mature >> julia, what jumped out to you about facebook last night which, again, put up -- just showed the business continues to execute despite all the headwinds it's facing >> facebook growing as revenue faster than expected what i thought was so interesting, kelly, was during the earnings call last night there was a moment where the stock turned around. it had been higher and reversed and went into the red. that's when the cfo warned that they expect revenue to have a pronounced deceleration in the fourth quarter and going into 2020 and he said that's because of uncertainties around ad targeting. i do think facebook is not entirely out of the woods yet, and they don't entirely know how some of these changes in terms of a regulatory standpoint and in terms of consumer behavior around privacy are going to impact their ad business >> which raises the larger question, is their efficacy driven by the very practices that regulators are trying to crack down on? >> it's going to be a huge impact on t

i think it's a great breakthrough for amazon and it can't be bad for her either. >> speaking of amazon, you have prime day around the corner. it's almost been an unofficial kickoff for back to school spending it seems to be a key category and a moment that begins the spending for back to school. deloitte is also out with the back-to-school survey. overall spending relatively flat going back to school spending will be 29% compared to last year >> well, it's also the launch of the new beauty product that's coming out prime day. that will be one of the big launches do i expect them to do well? yes. amazon is taking over, along with walmart and target, back to school electronics are an online business electronics will be the big growth area. i think it will be big for amazon i think that's going to be pretty good. people have worried about the back half versus last year i'm not sure, i think the backpack is pretty close to normal the consumer is really strong. we're seeing great employment, rising wages, record employment. i just don't see how the back half is not going to be as strong eve
