charles: in an amazon world where everything is cheap, everything gets lower and lower, maybe we're in a situation where the focus is not on what we were focused on when ronald reagan came into office? >> i think we would at least try to remember some things. if this is an environment which you have to cut rates when we just saw in some revised wage number that were out yesterday, all of you were reporting on it, 5% clip in 2018. 4.7% revised in 2017. wages and salaries taken together running at a 5 1/2% clip in june. the savings rate at 8.1%. i'm just saying i'm looking at all this and i'm saying, if that is an economy in need after little goosing on the part of the federal reserve, man, that is not the economy that i remember in the past that would require it. charles: maria, what powell is saying what he has said he wants to preserve those numbers neil is talking about. why be the fireman, why let this thing fall apart to try to put it back together if they can take steps, a, lou, to compete in the global economy against other central banks? and b, keep the prosperity going? on janu

it's oil, nat gas, amazon, right, cheaper products, you know, robots. so there's a lot of forces in the u.s. economy and we know that the trade fight is tamping down business investment. i don't see weakening the dollar improving business investment. i think the fear is that you raise rates, to dagen's point, you will have more long-term capital management. neil: it will continue the froth. >> i think you're right. >> that trade fight probably has a lot to do with what will be happening today and what will continue to happen. all the indications we have from the talks in shanghai is everybody expected, is we are really going nowhere fast. i don't think anybody expects us to be going anywhere fast. neil: the longer this is unresolved, the more rates would probably come down. >> but i think there's motivation on both sides. everybody keeps talking about how china's trying to put this off until after the election. i have been seeing, i keep getting indications from the president himself in his tweets and comments that he's maybe motivated to do the same, t

she used to work for amazon web services. a tipster eventually contacted capital one, said you know there's someone on the internet right now that's bragging they have done this. turned it over to the fbi. the fbi was able to very quickly find the suspect's address. boom. there you have it. she's now facing charges of computer fraud and abuse and could spend five years in prison. stuart: i don't think the security of the cloud is at stake here. ashley: no. stuart: what's at stake is your employees. ashley: yes. stuart: if you've got one disgruntled employee who is doing this for whatever reason, look at the damage. 106 million people. susan: they put a number to it already, capital one says it will cost $100 million to $150 million in terms of cost. compare that to equifax, over $500 million. much broader, by the way, number of customers impacted there. stuart: okay. >> 200 years ago -- they took down one employee took down a 200-year-old bank. stuart: how do you find the bad apple before you put them to work? the ten-year tr

but just in the way the story is developing, she had worked for amazon cloud services for a number of years. she's clearly mentally having a lot of battles. one thing that let the fbi find her home address was she had shared a vet bill, i guess her cat was sick, so it had her home address, her real name and that's one of the reasons they were able to find her and arrest her. maria: wow, incredible story. >> it just shows somebody very much on the fringe but who wanted some sort of acceptance if you like from her peer group. but we know with equifax, for example, which went through a similar hack, they paid $700 million to settle a lawsuit, i should mention a class action lawsuit was filed yesterday in dc, someone in connecticut who has been affected has started to gather the troops. >> you know, maria, what is chilling in this case, a lot of hacks we think of foreign agents or people overseas. it's a reminder that for big companies, you've got all kinds of developedders coming in and out, -- vendors coming in and out, and a determined hacker who has an inside track, it's very, very ha

amazon says its cloud storage wasn't compromised. a lawsuit seeking a class action status has already been filed. ed good news for customers is that capital one said none of the stolen info was shared or used to commit fraud in any way. still the company is offering free credit monitoring if you are worried your info has been stolen. >> remember when banks talk like that, that they know of so far. they can't define the fraud potentially going on. do you remember this moment when the 2020 democrats raised their hands saying yes we'll support free healthcare for illegal immigrants. president trump tweeted at the end of that web said that's the end of the race. let's bring in healthcare expert seth benson. that was a big moment. what was your take when you saw that? >> i was shaking my head. i don't know if i tweeted out anything. but i thought to myself. these democrats on stage are running like they are returning for the 14 stht congressional district of new york, not the united states of americans. liz: we are dig into polls from kai

it was compromise by an alleged former amazon employee who was able to access the information stored by capital one. investors are concerned about this. but should consumers be concerned? >> often we see stocks and the reaction is an overreaction. you can look at equifax, i it regained a lot of the market cap it lost. target, the stock has gone up quite a bit. >> healthcare companies too. this is an inside job. is doesn't look like it was completely the fault of cap one. >> this is important to a lot of people who have their information out there. generally the question is do people care? i think they do care. but i think they have become desensitized. if she takes it and does something with it where you have a detrimental consequence. people care. it's just not that much they can do about it. >> you are vulnerable over and over again. when we have had a lot of these breaches most of he people have not been affected. >> i have to say, despite the fact the stock was down, it's only back to where it was in early july. we have a lot to tell you, a story about delivery drivers and your f

authorities are saying that most recently, she worked at amazon web services and as they look into the allegations that she's the one who single-handedly ripped off all of this information, we will look at the credit card issuers elsewhere and see if there is any kind of possible, you know, halo effect, negative halo effect. not really here. we do have mastercard down three quarters of a percent. amex down half a percent. visa lower by 1%. >>> okay. so as we watch hour by hour, this does matter. now it's 23 hours away. we will finally find out just how much the federal reserve is set to cut rates. notice i didn't say whether. they are going to cut by a quarter point. that is what everybody thinks. one financial firm is already raising its outlook on stocks because it feels that this will be the catalyst for stocks. goldman sachs upping its 2019 year end price target for the s&p by 3% to 3,100. currently, we at the moment for the s&p are at 3,013 so we are really not too far off. goldman also set a 3,400 price target for the s&p for the end of 2020. that's another 10% rise from current

"wall street journal" is reporting that the education department is investigating a loophole where wealthy parents transferred guardianship of their child to qualify for scholarship of their grants. through the transfer, only college bound earnings, their earnings savings are considered. still legal, no, but it reads as a whole lot of ethical questions. some college consultants are advertising they're able to save families money without specifically saying what that methodology is in the marketing materials

amazon is huge in the cloud. the stock is down 8 bucks, 1903. >>> facebook says its digital currency, the proposed libra could help law enforcement. do we have anymore on this, why they're saying that? susan: basically facebook is trying to sell libra to regulators saying it is okay people thought and do say cryptocurrencies is a haven for money launderers, i will is lit activity, drug dealers as well. david marcus, the head of colibra and libra at facebook says if you look at blockchain technology which is behind crypto, it's a public ledger of transactions, you have to put information out there in the public. using that information you can trace people, to help law enforcement track down who is using this, the bad guys in all of this. but of course, you know, we heard from the president and saying that if you want enact libra you better get a chart, a new currency at play around the world. stuart: before we close out this block, i do want to thank my colleague and friend mike murphy sticking with us religiously

so she knew amazon's system very well. in this case, where capital one had a potential breach in the firewall, she was able to get in and she used the screen namer ne eratic. there was a white hat hacker who fight ifigured it out and got ih with capital one. as you go to the cloud, the risks are increasing. here we have one for capital one. the ceo addressed it, saying he apologized to everyone, doing their best to address it. maria: look at the impact on the stock, down 5% on capital one. >> this is serious, 100 million people. maria: normally you see all of these hacks from china and russia and you understand what they're trying to do, try to infiltrate our systems. but an american citizen just hacking, a hundred million accounts. >> it's the new face of criminality, the jesse james of this century, i guess. >> we saw with equifax finally a number put on the cost to the company when they had a monster fine for having allowed a lot of data to get out. i think this is no longer sort of a sin-free world. now regulators are

speaking of amazon, more than 20 amazon workers at a delivery facility in chicago are accusing the company of not paying them nor overtime during prime week. they filed a complaint with the illinois department of labor, claiming that management dismissed them six hours early on july 19th and promised to pay them for their full shift. the workers said amazon counted the six hours in the following week's papered, so they didn't -- pay period, so they didn't get the overtime for those hours. ashley: investors have a full plate this week with u.s.-china trade talks set to resume and the federal reserve meeting on interest rates. our next guest says don't expect any major progress this week on a trade deal. david nelson is chief strategist with bell point asset management. david, good morning to you. i was reading your note. you asked the question, so what are the chances of some breakthrough being made in china with these trade talks and you said in a word, no. >> can i go. ashley: yes. thank you for being here. over to you, lauren. no, you said president xi, the president of china has dou dug

a house cleaning by amazon home services, again, i keep hearing amazon. what's the difference between something that realogy is doing there versus working with me, any other brokerage because at the end of the day, we can also give credit at closing and what i know buyers want is money in their pocket, not just an amazon gift card or smart home or anything else they could just buy on their own, at their own discretion. charles: that's why i did ask ryan if there were other aspects to this, perhaps some technology help, something else. listen, their stock has gone from $52 to $5 in the last six years. so we can see that there's something in that industry, something happening that's not right. it goes beyond the sagging housing market that we have seen although, you know, when it comes to housing, we are getting reports that more and more wealthy new yorkers continue this mass exodus, they are leaving and going down to your neck of the woods. >> yeah. let's also start by saying that foreign spending is down by 36% from last year. so florida's number one wit

amazon changed everything. they changed it for the better and the reason, they stayed on top, because they have been able to continue to innovate. ironically, that's a risk for the stock moving forward because in order to maintain that valuation, they have to keep innovating. that's one of the reasons you are seeing, for example, amazon now enter the real estate business. this is the number one risk for these companies moving forward. lack of innovation and even more acutely, government. i got microsoft from 1999 to 2016 under the antitrust activations from the federal government, the stock was stagnant. only a government can hurt a company like that. >> you love government, don't you? >> investors certainly don't. >> to add on to your point, if you are looking at the numbers, when you talk about amazon's web services, you saw deceleration, she made the comparison to microsoft and how much growth they had but microsoft also had some deceleration, too. overall, that is what drives a lot of the profits. there was
