"countdown to the closing bell" starts right now. ♪ ♪ cheryl: and hello, everyone, i'm cheryl casone in for liz claman today. it is the last hour of trading. as we come onto the air, stocks are fighting back after steep losses, triple-digit losses. at one point the dow was down, get this, 135 points. it has since coming back, it is now hovering in positive territory, so what a day we are having as far as the markets go. a pair of dow components among the biggest losers, pfizer missing first quarter revenue targets this morning. that stock, as you can see on your screen, down nearly 3%. rough day for pfizer. take a look at jpmorgan, that stock down about 2.5%. the banking giant warned it expects fixed income and equities trading revenue going to fall 20% this quarter from just a year ago. big, negative headline for jpmorgan. one factor that is helping to

cut this morning's losses, we got some good news on the u.s. economy, and the services sector in particular. it's the usm, institute for -- ism, institute for supply management, saying services grew at the fastest pace in eight months, so that is certainly helping. we're going to watch the numbers as we move through the last 58 minutes of trading. and we'd all love to know what the oracle of omaha is saying, right? well, liz claman has been in omaha, nebraska, all weekend long covering the shareholder meeting. warren buffett has made a lot of money with his insurance businesses. the billionaire says in the end he would pick the good of society over profits any day. take a listen. liz: you said if driverless cars hit the roads and accident rates go down because they end up being safer, that could meaningfully and negatively affect your geico insurance unit. >> yeah. but if they really work well, they're good socially. but, sure, they could reduce the costs of insurance. anything that improves, reduces

accident rates, reduces death rates and all that will reduce the cost of insurance, and that's basically a good thing for society. liz: but a bad thing for geico. >> overall, the world would be better off if we didn't have any car accidents. liz: of course. but it got so onerous on geico's business model, would you sell geico? >> i won't sell geico. liz: never? >> no. no, no. never. liz: does it hurt eventually if more and more people go to electric cars, does it hurt burlington northern railroad? a huge amount of the car doe on your railroad is oil to, facile fuels, warren. >> yeah. well, it'd be a lot of oil. and there's a choice about something haha's good for berkshire and good for the world, we vote for good for the world, absolutely. liz: regardless of what's good -- >> absolutely. cheryl: we are, of course, going to have a lot more of what mr. buffett, mr. gates and, of course, charlie munger had to

say. you want -- don't want to miss what mr. buffett had to say about the possibility of relocating berkshire hathaway outside of the united states. not just omaha, the united states. we're going of to have a lot more coming up. the best, the brightest highlights during this hour from, of course, her interview with warren buffett this morning. let's get back to our markets here in new york. we've got traders standing by at the floor show, the new york stock exchange, the cme group and the nymex. ben willis, you know, certainly we had a lot of volatility. i know volume is on the light side, but are we just now kind of digesting all the big data news we had last week? >> i think what we're seeing is we are seeing lighter volume, about 10% below monday for the last quarter, but we are seeing the push and the pull of a marketplace trying to decide how to price a slowing down of the world leader of the chinese economy. we're seeing that continue to decelerate. it's still growing but not as quickly as we'd like. the european union gave us ay tn

lore, suggesting that their growth is nowhere near what we had hoped we needed it to be. then we came into the united states, we were down 135 points op the dow jones industrial average, and we saw the markets turn and head higher because we need to price in the fact the united states is, in fact, having an improving economy as judged by our ism and pmi numbers. so that was the whip saw you saw. the fact of the matter is at this point the world investors have to decide where they need to put their money, and it was a mistake to pull it out this morning. cheryl: interesting. it just shows you the indecision we're seeing. the dow at this point has crossed the unchanged level more than 30 times, and we've still got 55 minutes to go here, ben. as you look forward, a big headline that came out of friday's jobs report certainly was we don't have wage growth in this country. at what point do you think the stock market is going to be too ahead of the usa, and i mean economic data we're getting on the wage side? >> i don't necessarily agree with some of the points in the wage discussion. there's another article today in

your sister paper, "the wall street journal," suggesting there is wage pressure in some industries. and compliance is one of the good areas as far as wall street is concerned. i think what we're looking for now as far as the concern of the growth of the united states is how the fed sees it with janet yellen's conversation we'll be having on capitol hill on wednesday. with a lack of any other news in this marketplace, i think that will take precedence, and that will roll that right into the e.u. on thursday. i think those will be the story. cheryl: yeah. that's a really good point, ben. again, we got that last week, another big story. let's me go to gary kozlowski, volatility's name of the game, trending a little bit higher today, the commodities. what's on your radar as far as this monday goesesome. >> well, what we saw probably wheat was the one that really jumped out on everybody. when the pressure started building up again over in the ukraine and russia situation, ukraine is one of the largest

exporters of wheat. that and with the crop reports that we're getting, we're seeing wheat just taking off. and here's corn following suit. now, we also have a lot of drought conditions in oklahoma and kansas city for this winter wheat that they're getting ready to harvest. they're looking for the quality conditions to be drawn way down where it's only going to be feed rated, not even for consumer use. so we're really looking into that. that we're seeing the u.s. dollar is down below that 80 handle, and that's a really key number. it makes our exports a lot more attractive. but with the grade of the wheat, it's not going to help us -- cheryl: i'm getting some breaking news on target, pardon me, but we are getting some breaking news on target. we're going to be talking about this. one of the major shareholders of target, ctw investment, is now calling on the retailer, they want the chairman and ceo roles separated after the departure today. we're going to be bringing in butter in just a moment, but i do want to get you a quick

headline. 3.4% to the downside. target's been under pressure all day as you can see, but kind of trending down just a little bit more here. guys, i'm so sorry. jeff grossman, down at the nymex, do want to get to you, get your thoughts on oil and gasoline as well today. >> well, again, gasoline was the story today. crude oil is locked in our trading range between 99 and 100.5. it was up and back a few times today, not a problem. gasoline was the story. now, i said it in the past, gasoline at this point continues to be and will continue for another six months or so to be the leading indicator for our market, the whole energy complex. it was down at one point about five cents in the early part. the crack value, that's gasoline against crude oil, was a dollar, almost a dollar and a half. that is going to be your indicator. today was a bit of a head scratcher. gasoline was weaker than you'd expect, but i do expect though probably tomorrow being a reversal day, tuesdays and thursdays are notoriously

reversal days. you'll probably see gasoline bet get a little bit of its footing and maybe rebound. cheryl:well, we're going into the summer season. gentlemen, thank you so much. want to get back to that breaking news on target just a few minutes ago, this stock has been under pressure, as i mentioned, throughout the day. huge leadership shakeup that happened earlier this morning. remember, this is one of the largest u.s. retailers. they ousted the chairman, the chief executive. there he is. there was a massive data breach over the holidays, i'm sure you remember this. but the question now, what does this mean for this company? we just got breaking news that one of the biggest shareholders, ctw investment, wants them to separate the chairman and ceo roles. mostly you see that when it comes to banks, not with retailers. other big ceo shakeups and how those stocks performed, think about jcpenney for a second. they fired the ceo, former apple insider ron johnson, on april 8th of last year.

that didn't really help the company, the stock down more than 45% since he left. another side of this, though, men's we arehouse, that's -- warehouse, that stock's up about 40%. now for target let's bring in burt who was nodding his head just now. i do want to get your comment on the breaking news that ctw is saying they want these roles separated, i'm assuming because they feel like he's made so many crucial mistakes. >> they're completely correct, cheryl. from our work with activist shareholders in other retail companies, you have to separate the chairman and ceo-ship. you have a poor performing board, governance and strategic decision planning, it's been uncharacteristically awful for target which was the leader for the 20th century in terms of philanthropy, marketing, merchandising, retailing operations, and it's been a real laggard for the last five months, for the last 5-15 years. cheryl: and he also, you know, he outsourced a lot of his data

security. i mean, he gave it to other companies, and those companies are the ones that, frankly, failed him at the end of the day. >> outsourced everything to buy back shares. he's a company -- here's a company whose shares should be selling close to $100 rather than $59. they outsourced data credit card security, as you referencemented, they outsourced distribution and didn't supervise anything, and they outsourced e-commerce to amazon, so they gave away a lot of the crown jewels and didn't control their own destiny. cheryl: you also say he made a lot of strategic mistakes when it came to how he actually handled canada and their canadian operations, that should have been a huge moneymaker for target, and that was a missed opportunity. the economy's been much better than the u.s. economy, frankly, over the last few years. can they right that ship, whoever the new ceo's going to be? >> not for a long time. when one of my colleagues and i went to the canadian stores, we

asked why are you out of stock on so many key brands? you outsource the supply to your key competitor, you outsourced your distribution in the u.s., and they said, well, they ship their stores first, and we get our shipments later. so it's this almost moronic management because they're not seeing what shoppers see in the stores on saturdays and sundays. cheryl: you're a surviving member of the walton family right now, you're saying thank you very much -- excuse me, walmart, you're saying thank you, target, for making so many mistakes. let's talk about who could potentially be the new leadership. the cfo is going to to be acting for now in leadership capacity. but that's not going to be a long-term strategy for the company. so one of the names that you say is possible is carol mire wits. >> genius of marshalls, tj maxx, north american and worldwide and just an outstanding reeder. frank blake, while he's been in all areas of business, one of

the true leaders. frank brought in helene -- [inaudible] one of his board members, a real genius from cvs. she'd be outstanding. dr. tom ryan -- cheryl: drexler from j.crew. that's interesting. >> yeah. the ideal combination would be target buying j.crew just to get nicki drexler to run the company and use all the merchandising and marketing genius, bring that back to target. cheryl: you know, one of the big things their going to have to deal with, not just the low income customer but also the online retailing wars right now. amazon is changing its strategy, same-draw delivery's becoming more and more pref rent now -- prevalent now. is this just, frankly, another nail in the coffin for target? >> you're completely correct. nail in the coffin. if you look at what macy's.com, nordstroms.com, it's taken target apart. they're so far down the track, it's tough to catch up in online retailing. cheryl: i'm sure you don't think

it was a big surprise that he announced his resignation. thank you very much. good to have you, especially when we just got that breaking news in on target. we'll keep you posted on that stock as we move towards the closing bell. we've now got about 47 minutes to go. so spending the weekend with warren buffett -- oh, that would just be horrible. yep. tens of thousands of his closest investment friends. liz claman, of course, was front and center. she knows what he has for breakfast, she knows all those questions. anyway, we're going to have her highlights from her interview coming up for you. and also the invest in yourself berkshire hathaway 5k weekend run. >> hi, my name's roh hand, i'm from walnut creek, california, shareholder, and a shout out to everyone in california. >> josh harrington from napa, california, shareholder of berkshire hathaway. value investors rule. >> i'm -- [inaudible] from the netherlands, europe. i'm a proud owner --

♪ cheryl: okay, if you've been watching the show for years, you know when liz goes out on assignment, she's got unparalleled insight and unique access to newsmakers around the world. well, no different at the berkshire hathaway annual meeting in omaha this weekend. liz spoke to warren buffett about whether his company would ever move headquarters out of omaha, also about his motivation from ab taping from -- abstaining from the coca-cola shareholder vote. take a listen. liz: pretty clear that omaha would never give up its corporate citizenship, but tax reasons become an issue. are will any circumstances where you would actually revisit the situation in the near future that might prompt you, warren, to revisit that pfizer-type deal of incorporating overseas, say, for example, in the u.k. where you get a better tax rate and it's better for shareholders? >> no. i do not ever see that happening at berkshire. we do very well with the tax

rates that exist in the united states. you know, berkshire has gone from a textile mill to a company with 300 billion plus of market value. that's basically, happened in the united states, and it's handed with higher -- happened with higher tax rates, so america has treated us very well. liz: you refused, as you always do, to name a successor. but the three names -- >> to you, the board knows. liz: the names that get floated are, of course, formerly mid american energy, now berkshire hathaway, ajit -- [inaudible] and then, of course, matt rose who is the executive chairman of burlington northern. am i on the right track? >> well, the candidates are all internal, and i've said they're male, although that would not necessarily be the situation in the future. liz: what if it changed to a female? >> it could, sure. i'll bet someday it does. but right now they're male, and they're internal, and i think it's a virtual certainty that they'll be internal forever.

[laughter] liz: and it will be an insider. >> it'll be an insider. liz: will you require your successor to follow the berkshire way; never fight corporate taxes and things like that? >> well, i can't require anything because i won't be here -- [laughter] but in terms of our culture, i think there's no question that my successor will be someone that has bought in is 00% to the culture -- 100% to the culture. they'll do things their own way, and they should, but we set out our economic principles in the back of the report. they haven't changed, virtually, for 30 years. and we're a certain type of business. that's not the only way to run things, but it is the way we run things at berkshire, and i can't imagine a successor changing that in a material way. liz: let's go to a corporation of which you own 9%, coca-cola. this is a huge topic, obviously, this weekend. you were point-blank during the meeting when asked by a shareholder why didn't you vote.

you abstained from the vote on the compensation packages and, in fact, i found it interesting, the shareholder called it un-buffett-like behavior. you said you really liked muhtar kent, didn't want to go to war with him, but yet you still didn't vote. you know you could have made such a statement to all corporations about excessive corporate costs. >> we made a statement with the fact that we're talking about it now. we made a huge statement, and we did it without going to war, and i think it's a statement that got heard by coca-cola. i've had good discussions before the vote, actually, with muhtar. i admire the corporation enormously, i think they're terrific, i just happen to disagree on this, and we made the disagreement known. and like i say, i think almost even in the country's heard about it. liz: well, this brings us to our first hashtag ask liz question, and we got so many, but this one was interesting who asked what

would coca-cola compensation packages really look like if coke were fully owned by berkshire hathaway? >> they'd be a lot different. we've written about our compensation packages. we pay very we for performance, but we try to make it performance umped the control of the person -- under the control of the person we're paying. so if we were paying somebody for their performance in canada, we would tie their compensation to the performance of coca-cola in canada. and we have a lot of plans. we have all these companies that work, are part of berkshire, and they have incentive comp very substantial in some cases, but they all make sense in terms of tying the comp to what that person can accomplish. and with option plans, of course, you know, they become lottery tickets. if you have 6,000 plus people receiving options, they're nice to get. i'll take a lottery ticket. i'll never pay for one.

and if you're going to try to incent people's performance, they have to feel there's a connection between the incentive offered and the performance of their being asked to deliver. liz: and right now those coke compensation plans don't quite hit the mark? >> well, i would say virtually all the option compensation plans i see don't hit the mark. it's not specific to coca-cola. that's one reason i didn't want to come out and look like i was coming down hard on them. but their plan -- which, incidentally, can be modified by them. i mean, all that happened on this vote was to authorize the stock. the period over which it'll be dispensed is up to the coca-cola company. cheryl: okay. we're going to have, of course, a lot more coming up from liz. we are now just about 36 minutes away from the close and, again, the superstar interviews that she's been doing out in omaha, many more highlights to come. we're going to be talking tech with warn buffett and with microsoft founder bill gates. you've got to ask him that,

my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem.

dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion,

liz: attorney general eric holder made headlines today when he said no banks should think of itself as too big to jail. they may be the first target. charlie: it could get nailed for some of the mortgage scandals, outstanding scandals back to the financial crisis, but the name i keep hearing is citigroup. they have a fairly significant scandal in the mexican banking, it has to do with potentially fraudulent loans given today mexican oil company. it is a pretty sleazy affair.

what we hear is at least from banking sources, this is the one place where they can easily make a case against a firm, the firm itself, the bank itself could be held liable because of the banking fraud. it'll occurred in mexico, but the way in, according to lawyers and senior wall street executives is that you prosecute them because there are branches in the u.s. the technically they are incorporated in the u.s. not just a subsidiary of citigroup but u.s. banking units coming under the u.s. banking resolution. we should point out what he said today was interesting in this sense. i think it was about a year ago, he basically said we don't go after these big firms because they are too big to fail. if you indict them, if you send a grand jury indictment, put it before a grand jury, the chances are the market players will not

lend them any capital. any financial institution, they essentially go out of business. that is what happened because they were not quite indicted. there was talk about them being indicted, a run on the bank where people were not lending the money. i wonder how he is going to get after this. liz: i thought it was a strange arrangement. >> he is saying there will be more deferred prosecution arrangements with these big banks. you say they did bad stuff, we are deferring the prosecution. we still prosecute them. a lot of people point at citigroup in this scandal. they snuck this in on friday. missing a lot of newswires. they were being officially investigated by the justice department, so it is interesting

thing, this is heating up. they should pay attention to, this is a big stock, one of the nation's largest banks, been in trouble since i have been covering wall street. they do a reverse split or something like that. there is a reason it is $47 not $4.70. look at those headlines, that will affect the stock. liz: that would have a major impact on banking in new york. >> i think both would. i don't think they have the colonies to put any banks out of business. following arthur andersen when they indicted arthur anderson, that was done in the bush administration during the enron

scandal because he was the accounting firm. they just got so much flack for that, they don't have the guts to put a bank out of business even if it did pretty reprehensible stuff. liz: thank you. the closing bell will ring. it is back to the future for google and the home delivery wars. i do love this video, it makes me laugh. we will show you how google will turn up the heat on amazon and ebay. interesting story. when you're sitting down with the richest people in the planet, you want to pay attention and ask the big questions.
