next up is amazon. they have big brother and alexa and wiped out small business and have the power to steer their own goods but amazon also has friends. they have distribution centers all over the country that gives them influence and their platform is beloved by everyone who uses it and ceo jeff bezos owns "the washington post. that's one way to ensure you get publicity but he has not influenced the editorial if you're worried about corporate concentration, that's rifling. even though amazon spent years krau crushing smaller retailers, this is in the best shape it made a brilliant settlement nobody is talking about to appease sellers, the people that are on shopify like i talked about at the top of the show amazon knows how to play the game last but not least, there is facebook man, they sure didn't buy much with that $5 billion settlement. it's out of the frying pan and in the fire with them. the treasury department is not thrilled with the plan to launch the currency, lib ra if they bring in counsel,

stocks, mostly amazon. so this is a play, just so viewers know, this is really a play on amazon >> it is it is. when you take the three products, you multiply the holding of amazon by three so you get a significant exposure to that stock which in the short-term has done quite well >> that is want. what is need >> need is consumer staples. >> toothpaste? >> exactly >> paper towels. >> that defensive play like cycle performer play. it's the consumer is going up sort of holding back but they'll keep buying toilet paper and toothpaste so you have the full staples a good balance sheets, good net income and dividends they don't pop as much lower beta to the market >> we have netflix earnings out today. netflix is a name everybody knows. a lot of people out there may have invested in it. what products do you have that would highlight a name like a netflix? if you're going big -- these stocks can move big. rolling the dice in a big way, is there a way to play netflix >> 3x communications is tak, you get exposure to

amazon is up on that list. ultimately the general sense is how the regulatory scrutiny will play out on capitol hill and those agencies looking closely at these companies. >>> you mentioned the ftc and facebook, there could be a mu i multibillion dollar fine coming up there what's the latest? >> we're been waiting for this fine they disclosed in their earnings report last quarter they expected a fine of up to $5 billion from the ftc related to that consent decree facebook reached in 22001 00 0 11 facebook is reporting earnings tomorrow after the bell, it would be surprising if we didn't hear something before that we know that $5 billion fine ha been pretty much baked into the expectations for facebook. the question is what kind of fin fines or further scrutiny could it face now and going forward. >> elizabeth schulze live in london with her take on all things technology. appreciate it. thanks for playing rapid fire today. let's find out what else will be on your radar today. time for the top trending stories. w

is it going to be a net win for amazon >> you know, we think it will be obviously amazon is showcasing not only great deals, they're showcasing their music they've been spending all week showcasing whole foods they've built a big infrastructure around this prime day, and we think it will be very successful for them. >> is there any indication that this drives new consumer spending, ed, or simply, well, i need a pair of jeans in a month so i might as well get it now because it's on sale and it's kind of a zero sum game. >> we think it does drive new business it creates that spontaneity, that need to buy now and people obviously tend to buy stuff they don't need. ultimately, you know, this is a very quiet time and we think this drives incremental sales across all of retail. >> you've got a $2,100 target on amazon obviously we're optimistic does this matter for amazon? do these 48 hours or so matter to the stock, or is it just part of a longer term, more macro trend? >> i think it's more of a big macro trend, but i think the big fly away with amazon is emphasizing to people it's important

h q2 and we're going to go in depth with exclusive new details about how virginia won amazon. guys >> all right thank you very much. scott cohn >>> competitors are taking aim at netflix, stripping the service of two of its most popular shows. "friends" and "the office. so what will be the next shot fired in the streaming wars? we'll look at that when "power lunch" returns carvana is six years old this year and is the fastest growing place to buy a car in the nation. it's because we have thousands of people working hard to make our customers' experiences the best. it's because we have tens of thousands of cars ready to be delivered to your doorstep. and it's why hundreds of thousands of happy customers have ditched the dealership and bought their car online, earning us an average 4.7 stars in the process. so if you didn't know about us before, you do now. we're carvana, and we want to give you the car buying experience you deserve. >>> welcome back netflix is losing its "friends" weeks after finding out it would be kicked out of "the office." we'll have more on that in a moment

i know amazon is a front-runner. any chance that microsoft gets it >> there is a chance microsoft is executing on all cylinders. their move it open source has been brilliant and well executed they're doing exactly what investors should be focusing on, taking market share away from competitors, focusing on areas they excel at and improving margins. we saw all of those things in today's report so, you know, i think that trend continues. they are being -- the other thing president trump said he would look at google there's pressure on the competitors. that benefits microsoft. we're long-term investors. we're not trading this stock. >> 33%. >> without a doubt it's a trillion dollar market cap company. let's remember and i think it's a pretty unasailable report up a little less than 1% on a really good beat on a really large company shows you that everyone gets it and i think that the company is getting a lot of credit. it deserves a lot of credit. and only thing you have to look at for is people getting too overconfident

we'll also see at the end of amazon prime day how strong the consumer is. >> the new cyber monday was yesterday. bryn makes an important point. there are people that are getting pinched by tariffs nobody is saying they're not have you or anybody on the panel heard their family or friends or anybody they have seen in the store say, you know what, m maybele? don't buy that, it's 5% more expensive than it was. >> the euphoria citing for the consumer, if there is euphoria and the consumer has a concern it's not the tariffs as much as it is potentially housing. and the impact of salt and the fact that house prices have reached a level that somewhat unaffordab unaffordable to me the euphoria is present if we saw house prices continuing to move higher and consumers reaching through leverage to pay the higher price we are not seeing that we see the sensitivity in price. i think that's a good thing. >> i'm excited about trade wars vis-a-vis consumers in china the reason the market doesn't correct every time there is more trump rhetoric regarding the trade war is this. the upside for me as a u.

amazon on the verge of new highs. apple not so much. so it is a very bifurcated group. as far as cyclicality goes, watching the semis and the software stocks i think will be a very telling barometer as to whether or not the economy picks up in the second half of the year we have started to see that inflect positively over the last couple of weeks. we started to see, i think importantly, discretionary outperform staples here, high beta outperforming low beta. those are the market tells that we want to look at. >> all right, keep an eye on them, thanks a lot >>> white house economic adviser larry kudlow, former jim cramer partner, speaking now in washington here's what he said earlier this hour about fed independence. >> operational sense, traditional sense, i support that independence. but i also believe in a democracy that the president has the right to make his views known. as do members of congress. and other interested parties. >> new york stock exchange, life after kudlow and cramer, tough for larry, for a while finally i think he's at least -- not quite matched his

whether it's amazon, the other 50% of their business is split between retail stores and internet, their own crocs.com. >> erin, we're going to leave it there. erin murphy, piper jaffery with that we leave you for "power lunch" on a monday. thanks for watching. closing bell starts right now. >> welcome to closing bell i'm wilfred cross. banks broadly under pressure ahead of earnings from goldman, from j.p. morgan, and from wells fargo. tomorrow morning a preview of that coming up with 59 minutes left of trade, everything you need to know as an investor is coming up >> and i'm morgan brennan in for sarah eisen. let's get to what's driving the action energy is dragging the markets you heard wills talk about that. stocks are hovering near records as we await more earnings this week joining us for this hour to break down the m

projects in manhattan and new york city, including the long island city development that would have housed amazon's second headquarters. look, there are a lot of good projects out there currently on the slate, but the reporting requirements that were in the original legislation were mysteriously taken out right before it passed so there will be no reporting requirements on what's being built, how it's improving employment in these areas or whether it's helping housing values or the lives of people in these distressed areas. >> stay right here let's bring in two guests to talk about opportunity zones joining us is operation hopes founder, chairman and ceo john hope bryant. he's also the founder of promise homes. and heritage foundation senior policy analyst joins us from washington john, you're here on set with us obviously you want to see a lot of this economic development, but are you concerned about the way it's being monitored >> i'm always concerned about washington, d.c. but look, as long as -- first of all, the issue about some of these projects are in neighborhoods that are aspiring. if you

so amazon was important. facebook to me, i was looking at intel. i'm always focused on the semis in general they're very much global -- truly global players they are often forward indicators of global growth. they sell to all countries so for me seeing the improvement outlook from some of the semis it was so negative for most of this year. finally seeing some positive news come out of the semiindustrsemiendu industry they have become a proxy for u.s./china trade talks and trade relations. the semiconductor etf is already back to all-time highs off those. >> yes >> you spoke about looking forward. are there earnings reports coming up in the next week or two that you think you will be hyper focused on because it could provide more of that thesis on global growth or the health of the global economy >> finishing up the big industrials coming through next week and i would say facebook being another one that will be a big one. and though google had a good report, i'm still concerned about the regulatory overhang that they have any of those companies, how

>> reporter: hey, jon, it was close, but amazon edged out facebook for that top spot amazon web services is locked in a fierce battle with microsoft over the pentagon's $10 billion jedi contract. amazon spent $4.15 million on lobbyists in q2. facebook, $4.11 million. it was very, very tight. facebook has also faced some tough questions from policymakers about deep fake video and the launch of its cryptocurrency, libra. both of those companies appear to have set quarterly records for lobbying dollars third was alphabet, google, which was the top spender last year overall and actually decreased the money it's dedicating to lobbying from $5.8 million a year ago in the quarter to nearly half that amount last quarter. this amid reports that google recently fired several longtime lobbyists. microsoft and qualcomm rounded out the top five their spending on issues like data security, internet privacy, and competition as government scrutiny on those topics intensifies. during the quarter, top tech companies like facebook, amazon, apple, and google were also in the news about potential government

exhibit a, amazon. it crossed the trillion dollar threshold this morning amazon didn't become this unstoppable behemoth because jeff bezos is brilliant, which he is. it got here by leveraging scale. amazon is dominant because it's so big they use that scale to get better price from the suppliers to pass on to you. we have antitrust law because when you get big enough, well, no one can compete against you bezos saw how he could use amazon's scale to dominate retail he didn't stop there he figured he could do the same thing by creating cloud computing. aws one of the largest businesses growing at a 40% clip we had the head on the show recently, he told us how the position scaled which is the dominant player in the cloud which is true. it allows them to innovate and keep prices down and compete with the competition i urge you to look at that interview. i thought it was mind blowing. i thought to myself, darn it, that guy is real smart amazon also knows the secret to maintaining scale is keeping work force

amazon is upset because they want a piece of the contract >> what is their beef with amazon here? they're too big, they can't do it >> they feel they had an unfair advantage. >> that's the origin of the issue here let's turn to the earnings and we'll come out later today what are you looking for >> well, it's the cloud. >> azure, right? >> they are moving the customers hardware into the cloud. we're looking for that to continue the cloud continues to grow. the legacy business is seeing a one-time upgrade because of end of support, windows 7 one of them a quick migration as a result of that we're looking for a very good quarter with microsoft >> that will pull forward? >> only 4% or 5% of sales. they're going with a 10% tax instead of 8%. that will help. >> when you look at microsoft, what sort of growth -- if we're assuming cloud is going to grow and be a bigger part of their business, what kind of growth overall in revenues are you projecting and what kind of margins will we be seeing? >> so cloud has been historically a lower margin business they cannot hire the people to keep u

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

can it continue to fund all these expensive forays that amazon is doing? we know one day shipping is going to cost more than that $800 million initially estimated but as the cfo said they've been down this road before and so have investors which is maybe why you're seeing it only down 2% >> earlier today was on pace for the best session in a few years for alphabet and constant currency website growth up 150 basis points sequentially it's the third largest going back four years. a week where we've heard reacceleration, best acceleration a number of years for several companies. >> and we did get that $8 billion annualized runway on google cloud business and wondered if you would get more granularity with thomas coming in from oracle with a new team in place reaching out. talked to him a couple of times. now we're starting to get metrics which will be important. >> some metrics. it's amazing we don't know if or how profitable google's cloud division is when we do have a lot of transparency into amazon's and more microsoft. josh lipton spoke with the cfo after

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

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

facebook, amazon, apple less so, google more so but less than 2%. i mean, are you surprised we're not seeing bigger declines now that the doj is looking more seriously at that. >> i wouldn't say surprised. it's understandable we get this reflex move. facebook especially, amazon certainly so it's sort of a step back. >> do investors have no fear of this >> i think dough mean't know ho quantify it. i think the things -- first of all there is a chilling effect on additional acquisitions if you thought they had to be aggressive, probably not going to happen and the bundling of products and services. amazon privileging its own, you know, its own in-house brands or something like that. google, you know, if i do a mobile search on a movie and google, google wants to give me the google rundown as opposed to some third party, imdb owned by amazon that's what i wonder about >> google wasn't mentioned in the list of names this is just additional reports but one would imagine it might be in the spotlight as well. >> for sure. >>> now, chipotle stock hitting an

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

i mean, we think you'll see a strong earnings faang names specifically amazon. that's front and center. i think you'll also see strength in terms of facebook you know, going forward. and i think that really is the key alphabet will be the trifecta we think a strong earnings from faang this week. >> which of these would be the most important one to watch this week >> i think no doubt it will be amazon look at microsoft last week on the cloud side, a lot of strength you're seeing, the question for amazon you're seeing strength on prime, can you also see it on cloud that's really the key to see the stock going up another 15, 20% i think you will see on amazon then a big focus if you look, you have regulatory head winds across the board can these companies fundamentally improve themselves that's why it's a key week for tech in our opinion to see new highs. >> big tech regulation is obviously front and center for many of these companies. which of those faang companies in your mind is the most exposed or has the most potential issue with regulation coming from the gov

amazon giving us a glimpse into the action from at least the first half so amazon says worldwide sellers predominantly small and medium-sized businesses saw the biggest 24-hour sales day in amazon history now, the company also says it sold, quote, millions of alexa-enabled devices, including the fire tv stick with the alexa voice remote and the echo dot. nerd wallet does verify that prices on those items were lower than amazon prices on black friday other top-selling items again this year include that instapot. everybody wants one and the lifestyle personal water filter as well as crest 3-d white professional effects whitening strips data from edison trends suggest this year's prime day event might have gotten off to a slower start than the previous two years because it began at 3:00 a.m. eastern time instead of 3:00 p.m. last year and then 9:00 p.m. in 2017. so that makes sense. nobody'sprobably shopping whil they're sleeping now, amazon may have introduced the event, but more than 250 retailers are offering competing deals. adobe an liquidates say that large retailers with at least $1

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

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

that's not true anymore because there's so much competition at the top of the food chain between amazon, walmart, target and the rest of them that everybody else has got to adapt. and some are doing it better than others. >> right, but can they adapt enough i guess what i'm saying is, if you were inheriting these businesses, you know, it's one thing to start another business, we understand how to do that what do you do if you're a legacy department store? what are your options? >> you have to be able to use your stores effectively. that's a drum we have been beating for a while. you can't just go out and close stores willy-nilly you have to find a way to integrate them into a multichannel system and use them to support your online businesses if you have the money, you can do that. if you don't have the money, if you're a poorer credit quality department store chain or anybody else, you don't have the money. you can't do it. there's only so much money in the bucket for you to be able to use to adamept your business if you have it, you have a chance if you don't have it, it's a tough road

consumer discretionary, that's amazon and home depot, essentially. let me show you the biggest stock s that were out there. microsoft was almost 7% of the reason we got from 2,000 to 3,000. of all the gain, it was amazon you put these top five together, facebook and apple and jpmorgan, the top ten companies in the s&p 500 accounted for 34% of the gain from 2000 put up the next full screen, from 2000 to 3,000, ten companies accounted for two-thirds of the gain why do we keep paying all of this money for technology stocks what's where the growth is, kelly. growth is hard to find investors are paying anything for growth that's in technology >> so the fed chair, mr. powell, fueling the markets to new highs again today. he have testify today again in front of congress. he said that monetary policy have not been as accommodative as could have been what a change from last december and that the relationship between unemployment and inflation has gone away. the phillips curve he's also worried about the global manufacturing pullback. has the fed just given th

we are seeing shares of these big tech companies including facebook, amazon, alphabet and apple trading lower in extended hours. the justice department announcing it will open this broad antitrust review into market leading online platforms and whether they're reducing competition, stifling innovation or otherwise harming consumers as you said, the doj is not singling out individual companies as part of this review but it's looking into search, social media and retail services online so it looks like at least it puts google, facebook and amazon in the firing line here. those companies are not commenting so far. this is just a review but it could turn into a full blown investigation. we've already seen big tech companies in the spotlight as part of that bipartisan investigation into their market power in congress. that doesn't get to the ongoing antitrust cases here in europe just last week the eu opened a formal investigation into amazon and how it collects data from merchants. we're looking at how these companies react and if there will be commentary tonight when facebook reports its e

either that or we're going to see the actions of the government relative to google, microsoft, and amazon affecting those stocks in a manner more similar to what we've seen already at facebook. because i don't think this is a facebook exclusive problem they have cambridge analytica. the other guys didn't have that really bright, shiny light and there's a film out just yesterday on netflix called the great hack which really delves into that which i think is going to increase pressure but at the same time, i do think you have at google all kinds of regulatory issues on the horizon. >> it feels like what you're saying is everyone is reacting to what they're doing, but what if all of a sudden lawmakers get proactive or do you believe that that's just not going to happen? because that could fundamentally change their business model? >> from your lips to god's ears as far as i'm concerned. because i spend a lot of time in washington and the thing i can tell you is inside the trump administration, both the department of justice and the -- in the anti-trust division and the federal trade commissi

tech stocks ahead of some big earnings later on in the week obviously, we'll get facebook, alphabet, amazon, intel, and twitter all before friday afternoon. bob pisani and mike santoli here at post nine on what to look for and which print do you think we have the most confidence in going in that was a question for cramer today. >> which print we're going to hear from this week? >> he thought maybe google had more liability >> well, google's in the penalty box of those four, so i think probably does have the most to have prove also, perceived to be the company that cares about making the number least i don't know if that works for them or against them in terms of setting expectations but this time i think what's going to be most interesting is how the stocks react and what was already built in or was this just kind of a big trade into big cap growth and we're not really talking about the quarterly results. it's just a placeholder type investment or are we really banking on great numbers from the likes of facebook and the others? i mean, microsoft is really interesting. flawless quarter, stoc

in may amazon said deliveroo would lead a 6$600 million funding round. uk investors have imposed an initial enforcement order which prevents businesses from pushing ahead with a tie-up. in a statement amazon says its investment would be positive for consumers. deliveroo uses 60,000 riders to deliver meals from 80,000 restaurants in 14 countries. >>> general motors says sales in china fell 12% in the second quarter. the ate utomaker said they werei by slowing economies and increased competition for mid priced suvs. it's the fourth straight quarterly sales decline for gm in china there was a bright note. sales of gm's luxury brand cadillac road by 36% >>> from china to the u.s., what will the road look like ahead for the auto industry in the coming months? fill lebeau has your second half playbook in autos. >> reporter: for automakers and invests, the second half of this year is about tariffs, slowing sales and potential merger deals. on tariffs the big question is if the u.s. puts a tax on vehicles imported from europe. if that happens it could impact sal

amazon posting a rare miss on eps. netflix trying to recover from its disappointment last week and microsoft regaining the crown as the world's biggest company. for more i'm joined by paul, the lead portfolio manager of the wireless fund. paul, what's the takeaway message for you here >> the way i look at this, kelly, is that as i thought it would be this quarterly earnings season has been decidedly mixed. now one of the things that we have to absorb when we take a look at companies like amazon is some companies are delivering and guiding to revenues better than expectations, which is great. but they miss on earnings per share, and i think it's mostly because of a self-inflicted wound, which is the realities of most of these internet companies. they are going to have to spend more to meet these regulations for privacy. >> in amazon - >> so fizz a company still growing its top line but missing eps for reason of a self-inflicted wound, i think that's okay. >> so in amazon's case it's investing in one-day shipping. i'm su

you saw a statement come out from capital one where is amazon in this? what does this mean at a time when everybody is moving to the cloud. capital one has been very aggressive moving to the cloud when we talk about a firewall that was misconfigured on whose end, assuming from -- from the reporting it suggests this information was sitting on an amazon server, on an aws server does this become a larger story about aws? >> i think that's an interesting question to pose she is a former aws employee >> she's a former aws employee the data was sitting on an aws server unless i lost my mind, i would say, okay, does she know something about the way these servers are configured with clients that others don't? >> it was on an aws server she -- they didn't look to see whether i had done this, i can tell you that much you need some serious expertise to be able to do this, right she's got years spent working at aws. even though she's, you know, fatherly young fairly young, 33. i read they put up a flimsy firewall >> i'm trying to understand is that a flimsy firewall

>> just a sec, i'm working on it, walmart, amazon, target -- >> horseshoe loves amazon. >> trying to come up with a new acronym. >> i'm going to work on it during the break walmart, amazon, costco, target. that -- taqua? the stock has this instagram thing. >> not at the social media summit at the white house today. you have a social media summit without twitter and facebook. >> i don't know. i got a million followers. i'm offended more on instagram. it is a lot of fun. >> when we come back, speaking of some of the names, setback for netflix in the streaming wars to sun valley with an important week for the media business. live coverage of fed chair powell's testimony as jim messenger mentions facebook above 200 futures are up we're back in a moment it all started under this buttonwood tree. twenty-four people came together to sign an agreement that created the stock exchange. just the right elements coming together. it started when scores more people came together, just down the street and traded bonds that helped pay for the revolution, and the nation it created. it started in an of

alphabet has been asleep for the last multiple quarters maybe amazon gives you what amazon always does but i think it's incorrect to make the assertion that how the faang names go will define the overall tech results >> if the faang names lay a big fat egg, it will be hard to overcome that. >> expectations are very low did you see what asml did last week 7% on the report i know that expectations are low. >> the macro question here, wasn't this supposed to be the negative quarter or the low single digits >> don't ask me that, i haven't been saying that >> i'm asking you because where are we at now and where are we going? i don't want to put words in your mouth that you didn't say before i could swear you sat in that exact same seat, directly across from me, in another dimension, i guess it was, and you said -- i'm watching "stranger things," sorry about that -- and you said we were going to have a negative quarter. am i wrong about that? >> shall we talk about some facts? >> did you say it was going to be negative? >> do you want some facts? >> it's a simple question. >> do you want som

with facebook about this coin >>> next up, lady gaga is launching a new beauty line exclusively for amazon she gives retailers some serious star power as they are making a bigger move into cosmetics she said they're the right partner because it embraced self-acceptance. it will be available in september in nearly a dozen countries. >> so, it's a delicate thing all these luxury companies and even retail brands are going into partnering up with stars and saying this will sell. rihanna is partnering lmh, all going after these stars. and it's a new audience. these influencers are big with generation z if the price points are right and the product is right, fine but rihanna is now selling $200 t-shirts, $1,500 jackets that's not her audience. makeup - >> it's aspirational, though to be so rich to own that. but your parents have credit cards or kids' parents have credit cards >> i think this is good because her audience, makeup, amazon, that's a good thing. >> you know who else has credit for this is oddly kylie jenner she came out first on the scene with these kits. we talked about it making he

they can go on to a portal and amazon will match them up. once the buyer closes, amazon home services steps in with as much as $5,000 in services with things like painting, hanging your tv and installing devices >> there are so many ways you can get low quality internet leads out there that realogy and amazon are delivering high-quality leads >> the program launches in 15 major markets today including l.a l.a., san francisco, dallas and washington, d.c. >> short interest is very high red fin is down 1.6% is its business threatened by this partnership in your view? >> absolutely. it has become a very, very competitive market they have very high-tech a platforms. realogy needed to step up its game we did ask the ceo if they expect to see the properties listed on amazon, which i got to believe will happen. he said they hadn't discussed that yet >> diana, thanks >>> coming up, jeffery epstein's deep ties to wall street insiders check out futures at this hour looking at triple digits squawk box will be right back. moving is hard. no kidding. but

we saw it with facebook recently and we saw it with amazon recently so it is logical to think we night see the same thing happen in apple tomorrow. >> the way gene set up the rest of the year in terms of the quarter, i mean september they raised the guidance as you pointed out as well, december the comps get easier this is almost a glide path to the refresh of the 5g phones next year. >> yes, well, you were talking about that yesterday okay do people give it a pass on an okay quarter if that comes up? because 5g is just around the corner. >> i don't think 5g is anywhere -- >> all right mull presidenti multiple needs to be higher. >> but if you look at what gene said, the point is a lot of analysts have a hold or sell on the stock that have to upgrade it here. of the 48 analysts that cover it, there are 25 holds or sells, the lowest number in about ten years. i think you have to see the upgrades come up here. >> is it faang >> in the extended faang. >> aa. so clearly we had a reshuffling of the faang leadership in the last two weeks if you look at what has gone on with apple and amazon,

they're trying to turn their offices into an amazon warehouse in order to get the tech valuation. i don't buy it >> so all of this is happening as they get ready for what reportedly could be a september ipo. this is probably one of the companies with the most hide-profile criticisms of its business model even uber and lyft did not necessarily have the heat on them like wework their valuation has continued to go up, but what's interesting about this is something we hear with wework or we company is the amount of capital that the founders have allegedly taken off the table, in secondary sales, with every one of these rounds, the founder will take a few chips off the table. this happened when snap went public we're talking about an order of magnitude more that has already gone in the possibilities of the founders, which is over $500 million. that's a lot of money that they are effectively holding on to risk free, because they sold it on the ride up. >> do we know if we're looking at -- so you want the last they were valued's juan $47 billion are we expecting them to do much more than

$150 million thi year back over to you >> the company was unnamed yet the guy was a former employee of amazon web services, but we're not putting two and two together right now >> that's right. this clearly seems like it's still under investigation. that's according to the "wall street journal" and their reporting. we'll have to see how this unfolds. >>> on deck, is the sizzle finally coming off of red hot beyond meat? shares losing more than 10% right now. we'll tell you why next. these folks don't have time to go to the post office they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale i had a few good tricks to help hide my bladder leak pad. like the old "tunic tug". but always discreet is less bulky. and it really protects. 'cause it turns liquid to gel. so i have nothing to hide. always discreet. >>> bp shares are higher after second quarter earnings beat forecast production is up 4%. profit coming in at 2$2.8 bil

and we know justice is going after big dogs and their ingenuity won't save them this time the fact amazon is doing the same thing online that walmart did offline doesn't matter it questions competitors when nobody cared about the stuff amazon web services lowers prices for everybody but yes, it can allow companies, for decades as long as they are pushing the prices down, regulators don't mind if they got blood thirsty it was good for you. if google is making life difficult for yelp, there is no immunity with apple building an incredible product by forces you to buy the apps from their store, does that really make them a monopoly? who says you have to buy the apps 40 years ago yes, this was textbook competitive behavior but unenforced so long i'm indignant on apple's behalf and the regulatory regime changes overnight from a republican president anti regulation and then there is facebook now, facebook is also being investigated by justice but today was about the suddenly very tough federal trade commission running rough shot over ceo mark zuckerberg for privacy violations the fdc has been a

>> i get apple stuff 33% off that never happens >> first world problems. >> however, that's amazon's response to. a spokesperson actually said we want to make everybody happy, but there's just such volume of orders that we don't have the capacity for delivery. so because everybody's so focused on getting the deal, they're not going to be that focused on the delivery. >> you sure are quiet over there. >> i hate cyber monday i won't buy anything on cyber monday amazon prime day is the new cyber monday >> you don't have to look buy, i you look at the deals, you'd be surprised. >> but they put you in the market with the deal, would you buy? >> an ipad i don't even need one. we have five already at the house. >> see i refuse to be sucked into the vortex of prime day. >> holier than thou. >>> tim hortons is expanding its menu to provide burgers for the first time ever. but there's a catch. these aren't real burgers. they're made from beyond meat. we need an expert to talk to us about that and we turn to our very own kate rogers >> now it's prime day. >> sully is going to be very angry. >>

you've made some interesting moves in to the tech space and you've been talking about becoming the amazon of travel. what is behind the tech strategy >> i think if we stand still, we don't innovate, we don't change, then we're in trouble anyway we have a huge amount of very good data. we have a massive geographic footprint. so we see lots of businesses that kind of mix in with what we're doing in the tech field. lo logistics. we are now carrying 100 million people air asia.com can gravitate toward more than just selling tickets. and finally, we see fintech as a very big part of what our passengers want. remittances. we think for many years our passengers have overpaid when they are remitting money back as foreign laborers secondly, it is very tough right now for people to get loans. so just like az air assist i ca, it can be inclusive and is a natural inclusive. >> and so tell me why you think consumers would go with your product over expedia, booking.com or other markets >> they generally -- i think on air asia.com, we get unique visitors coming. we can package a flight and hotel cheaper

what that has meant to amazon's valuation. where are we in that transition, john >> i hate the innings analogy because i think everybody says early innings. it can't be early innings forever. i think we are in the middle of the game more and more the language i'm hearing sounds like what i used to hear out of hp and dell in the services business, how they were talking about big deals with p and g, how it wasn't just about selling servers, it was about taking over their data center and infrastructure. now you have mega scale cloud providers talking about that same language when it comes to cloud. transformation is just an excuse, an opportunity to drink somebody else's milkshake. that's where we are i think. >> thank you. >>> sticking with microsoft, etf spotlight, looking at etfs with large stakes in the company. what makes up these etfs. >> not only that it seems like the all-purpose core holding across a very wide group of etfs, not just technology i featured some here microsoft so big, it's more than 4% of the s&p 500. but

this off we trust amazon. we put our credit cards in there every day. regulators would be on them. it wouldn't be like this it wouldn't be like let's put them up in front of a panel andtary them apart because they lied about data and this and that >> i think you will face tough >> i think it's intriguing i think all of this is eventually good for bitcoin. i think libra is the on ramp the electronic wallet pulls us into this world. it shows us why it's so much better there is nobody in the middle. you don't have to trust anybody. >> the think i question is if they will question libra, how does that more tend? they have to think about any crypto currency if they say we have to put all these guard rails around and the structural peer-to-peer nature of bitcoin it may fundamentally be possible >> who do you pull in front of the congress >> that's what's interesting they can regulate how you buy and sell it. >> can they track down and figure out who is behind every transaction? because that's what the law enforcemen
