>> thank you, scott. let me start by thanking you and the cnbc family who not only this day, but frankly every day make it clear your respect to the military and i really appreciate that. to answer your question, though, all i feel is gratitude. i feel gratitude at the privilege for having served, and it was a privilege, and i have to say i think carrying yourself throughout the day with gratitude is a very important way to live your fullest life because believe me, you can look at the bad things that go on any given day and i want to give this message to the people who are serving today. if you are serving on a submarine right now and you're shooting trash or you're pumping sands or your chief is ripping you up, i promise you you will look back on this day with admiration and longing i hope you're on the sail of a submarine standing lookout or officer of the deck, but regardless, all i feel is gratitude for the privilege of having served. i am very grateful again to you, scott, and the cnbc network, and

>> all right, scott. i think powell is sort of in this really tough spot today of course, i mean, chairman jay powell if he dismisses inflation fears and inflation that is clearly out there, everything from gasoline to baguettes in france which he doesn't have anything to do with, because wheat has gone up so dramatically that this is filtering its way into all kinds of things americans eat and to that extent drink because of some of the rye products and so forth. i would say, scott, if he dismisses that big pop in volatility, then he's going to get the bond vigilantes all jazzed up and on the other hand, if he doesn't -- if he basically does address that, rather then i think he risks being re-appointed because obviously seeing the debt that we've piled on through prior administration and not just this administration, but that debt being piled on that is going to be something that president to not reappoint mp. >> let's get to my specific question we think the taper is happening today, right they'll annou

i think that's right i think he's played it very well though, scott. he has learned from bernanke, learned from yellen, this idea of being incredibly transparent, laying out what you're going to do, creating benchmarks for the market to price in and the idea that we haven't yet freaked out. i say yet because who knows if the guys on this committee are going to come in one morning and say the fed is going to raise in six months but if you look at the two-year over the course of this regime of it being at zero and compare it to zero under bernanke and yellen, what you find is that the two-year was much better behaved. the market was not looking over its shoulder the entire time and saying powell is going to hike on us at a time we don't expect. it's only now reached that level of pricing in that first or that second rate hike that's out there. that 50 basis points was there during the entire time or most of the time that bernanke was at zero so powell has figured out a way to talk to the market in a way that it believes him and the way that gives him the

scott, i like them both. i don't try to over complicate the housing market and the demand surpasses supply here so i like lows and there's margin growth and business analytics growth that they've done, but i like both names here i think there's an opportunity here and to the end of the quarter and into early next year >> farmer jim, depot is not that far from a high in its own right. 375.15 is the 52-week high and 367.88 is where it currently trades you have an opportunity in early january and this is important, in early january the market sold them off and maybe it was early february after a pretty good earnings report and that's where i got in and what i said earlier, the market does not always get the price right that's what i'm doing with the names i'm picking up today the market gets it wrong sometimes on earnings and you've got to pounce when it happens and this is one i intend to own for a long time. you asked mow last week, why this and not lowe's? i like home depot because it's bigger when i see two

and there are calls for coach alto to cancel the travis scott concert. do you think that is a good idea? paul: i mean, the travis scott concert can be run safely if it is run correctly. if he stays within reason and doesn't wind up the crowd until it spins out of control, travis scott, it can be done in reserved seating, if you wanted. you know? so other than that, i am just saying, these shoes could be made safe. kristen: i mean, coachella is one big giant field. don't know how that would play out. hopefully after this incident, there will be a lot more planning involved, no matter who the headliner. do you think perhaps the travis scott concert should have been stopped when they noticed people passing out? there is video showing people chanting "stop the concert" as someone passed out, but the performer continued. should that the operating procedure? it seems like other artists keep going, but perhaps they call attention and pause a little bit? paul: the concert should have been stopped and reorganized, the front of the stage managed correctly before i

true, scott. it's been a host of things that have triggered that. number one, we had some really large moves in the vix the vix call buying which is more or less that trader that we refer to as 50 cent. i don't know who it is, but bought an awful lot of february put options and that was one of the hedges that i put on them, earning call options in the vix is like a put option in the s&p because obviously, days like today, days like friday when you see 50% moves friday and 20, 25% moves already today in the vix, those coincide with the big drops in the market, scott they've also been buying a lot of puts in the spdrs so for instance, they were buying the spy december 23rd, the christmas, the 465 puts. those puts have already paid big dividends for the people that own them either as a hedge, which i did, and i existed those on friday, i should have held them a few more day, scott the iwm just yesterday, the december tenth expiration, in other words, not this friday, but next friday. 215 puts big buying there with that index at 224 yesterday and look a

i like to start with commissioner scott. >> commissioner ransom-scott: no questions. melissa thank you so much for this comprehensive report that you gave with due diligence. i just appreciating, you just hit so much. i appreciate hearing and seeing your work on this. thank you so much. >> chair bustos: commissioner brackett? >> commissioner brackett: i don't have any questions at this time. thank you for the report. >> chair bustos: vice chair rosales. >> vice chair rosales: i don't have questions. i'm kind of remembering, i know we gone through this, perhaps you can explain again to us the process for contacting the property owners. i see in the memo two thirds approval of the property owners within the district boundary have to participate. i just remembering, if you don't mind -- >> sure. >> i can wait until we know she can hear if you like. >> i think what you're asking about is formation of a c.f.d. at the time of formation, two thirds of the property owners need to vote to task themselves to form the c.f.d. generally, actually in the case of our c.f.d.s, there

in addition, travis scott is obviously guilty of inciting crowds. he literally said to rage. so, whether he could literally see what was going on or not, he will be responsible, as will be the promoter. >> what -- so what sorts of -- in your experience, what sorts of planning and preparation issues normally go into an event like this that perhaps did not go into this one? >> well, when you have an event of this type, what you have to do is corral different sections of the audience with barriers. and especially, with a volatile, younger audience. this is done, certainly, in europe with metal concerts. we don't have really an equivalent famous festival here. we have coachella. it's more laid back. lollapalooza in chicago. it's more laid back. but people should have been on guard that this was going to happen and if you look at all the video. this was from the very first moment. the people crowded the gates, rushed the gates. they should have known what was going on. i mean, they just anticipated everything to be smooth so when things went bad, they were just not prepared. >> an

>> hey, scott, yeah. nearly double the number of spacs debuted in october compared with september. 57 total, the biggest monthly number since march, right before the market fell off a cliff. in fact this october was even busier than last october, which is when spacs really started to take off so what's behind the recent surge? well, according to experts in this space, a lot of it is just pent-up backlog. deals that were set to debut until the market froze over regulatory and accounting concerns earlier in the spring now bankers and sponsors agree that it's now or never for spacs if they're going to list before year end but the market hasn't rebounded in the way spac issuance has the cnbc index is down more than 3% this year you can see it has really trailed off since the spring now, as a result, many of the spacs that are debuting are doing so with major concessions for investors according to a spac insider these include a greater fraction of a warrant for each unit sold, less time to find a deal, a deadl
