Live on Bloomberg TV

00:00MATT MILLER JOINING ME. NUMBER 4 -- IT PAYS TO BE KING -- SOME SEE SWEET EXECUTIVES ARE GETTING BIG PAYDAYS. ACCORDING TO THE PAY INDEX, THE FIRST DAILY RANKING OF THE HIGHEST-PAID EXECUTIVES, APPLE CEO TIM COOK HAS THE BEST PAY-FOUR-PERFORMANCE RATING OF ANY CEO. HE WAS AWARDED $65 MILLION IN COMPENSATION LAST YEAR. ANOTHER EXECUTIVE MAKING BIG BUCKS, GUYS, THE SERVER. MATT: REAL MONEY. CAROL: BY THE WAY, HE IS SO CUTE. BETTY: THE GO PRO CEO. MATT: HE IS ADORABLE. [LAUGHTER] YOU KNOW WHAT, HE DESERVES THAT? TIM COOK IS UNDERPAID AT $65 MILLION. LOOK AT WHAT HE IS GIVEN APPLE SHAREHOLDERS. HE IS GREETED SO MUCH WEALTH. CAROL: GO PRO -- WE HAVE YET TO SEE WHAT HE WILL RETURN TO SHAREHOLDERS. TIME WILL TELL. TIM COOK HAS RETURNED A LOT OF VALUE IN THREE YEARS. MATT: TRUE, BUT WOODMAN MADE THE BUSINESS. IT IS HIS. CAROL: CAN SOMEONE COMPETE AGAINST HIM? BETTY: THEY HAVE TRIED. POLAROID, AND OTHERS, BUT SO FAR YES THE FIRST-TO-MARKET STATUS. MATT: IT IS BEYOND THE CAMERA. IT IS THE CONTENT. CAROL: EVERYONE IS GETTING INTO MEDIA. MATT: NOT AS WELL AS THEY ARE. BETTY: MATT THINKS HE IS CUTER. BOARDROOM WOES -- BY THE WAY, THIS IS TO DO WITH JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY. VOLKSWAGEN PUTTING OUT BOARDROOM FIRES. THE BOARD IS DIFFUSING A STRUGGLE BY BACKING CEO MARTIN WINTERKORN WHO WAS AT ODDS WITH THE COMPANY CHAIRMAN. BASICALLY, MARTIN WINTERKORN IS THE BEST POSSIBLE CEO ACCORDING TO THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND HAS FULL SUPPORT. WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON HERE? MATT: WHAT ELSE WOULD THEY SAY? I THINK THE DEATH OF FERDINAND PIECH HAS BEEN WIDELY EXAGGERATED HAD THE LAST TIME HE DID THIS, SUPERVISORY BOARD ALSO BACKED HIM AND FIRED HIM A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. THIS GUY IS THE MOST POWERFUL AUTO-MAKING CEO IN WORLD HISTORY. HE IS FERDINAND'S POR CHE'S GRANDSON. HE PUSHED THROUGH THE 917, WHICH NO ONE WANTED TO DO, AND IT IS NOW ONE OF THE GREATEST RACE CARS OF ALL TIME. WHEN HE'S A SOMETHING NASTY ABOUT A CEO RUNNING VOLKSWAGEN, PEOPLE LISTEN. CAROL: THE GUY HE WANTS TO GET RID OF -- HE IS LED THE COMPANY TO RECORD PROFITS. MATT: GUESS WHAT, SUBARU OUTSELLS VOLKSWAGEN IN AMERICA? THEY'RE NOT DOING WELL. BETTY: 32 DAYS -- THE LAST TIME THERE WAS AN ALL-TIME HIGH FOR U.S. STOCKS. THE S & P HAD AVERAGED A DAY BETWEEN HIGHS. EQUITY INDEXES FROM ASIA TO EUROPE HAVE CLIMBED TO MULTI-YOUR HIGHS IN RECENT DAYS. TODAY, HOWEVER, NOT SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT, MIKE REAGAN PUT IT WELL TODAY. WE HAVE GONE SO GREEDY. WE ARE USED TO THESE RECORD HIGHS IN STOCKS, AND HERE WE ARE, ABOUT ONE MONTH WITHOUT IT, AND WE ARE FEELING LIKE, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. CAROL: IT HAS ALSO BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE WE HAVE NOTHING A FULL 10% CORRECTION. WHAT YOU EXPECT -- THERE IS A LOT OF EVEN MONEY STILL AROUND. I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE GET CLOSE TO RECORDS, COME BACK -- I DO NOT KNOW. THERE'S ALSO CONCERNS ABOUT WEAKNESS IN THE ECONOMY. YOU HAVE THOSE THINGS BATTLING ONE ANOTHER. MATT: NEVER WHEN THE S & P WAS 600? THAT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO. THE DOW WAS 6000. GIVE ME A BREAK. THE STOCK MARKET IS KICKING ABSOLUTE BUT, NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. T THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF THING WHERE YOU INVEST AND ONE MONTH
