- 2:30Speaker 1: Journalist Convention in Washington, she said it speaks volumes to
- 2:34Speaker 1: her credibility that President Obama gave her a position in
- 2:38Speaker 1: his cabinet. It got a little contentious from time to time,
- 2:41Speaker 1: and to my surprise, he turns around asked me to
- 2:43Speaker 1: be Secretary of State because he trusted me. And then
- 2:46Speaker 1: I served the Secretary of State and when I left

- 3:04Speaker 1: long list of challenges and embarrassments. Terrorism threats, disease carrying mosquitoes,
- 3:09Speaker 1: athlete and tourist kidnappings, doping scandals, and literally troubled waters
- 3:13Speaker 1: teeming with human waste. The Chinese basketball team had to
- 3:16Speaker 1: dodge a gang shootout shortly after arriving. Disgruntled police greeted
- 3:20Speaker 1: tourist at Rio's airport with a sign reading welcome to Hell.

- 4:08Speaker 1: SMP five two up eighteen points today a guy a
- 4:13Speaker 1: gain of nine tenths of one percent, the nastack Compositive
- 4:16Speaker 1: Index closing at a record fifty two twenty one, up
- 4:20Speaker 1: today by one point one percent. I'm Charlie Pellett, and
- 4:24Speaker 1: that's a Bloomberg business flash. Move around motion, great promotion, moved,
- 4:32Speaker 1: moved like they do. I've never seen anyone move that back.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Five people's move to get a purpose. He's called movers
- 4:47Speaker 1: and shakers. They cost a little more. That name cracked
- 4:50Speaker 1: me up. Bloomberg taking stock movers and Shakers with him,
- 5:00Speaker 1: Box and Kathleen as on Bloomberg Radio. Movers and Shakers
- 5:04Speaker 1: for Friday, August the fifth, twenty sixteen, three hundred and nineties.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Six issues advanced in the SMP five D one hundred
- 5:12Speaker 1: and six decline, and three remained unchanged. Dave Wilson, Bloomberg
- 5:17Speaker 1: Stocks Commas joins me now to begin our movers and Shakers. Dave.
- 5:21Speaker 1: You know, it was just yesterday I was talking about
- 5:23Speaker 1: the life insurance stocks. We had results from MetLife that
- 5:27Speaker 1: didn't look so good to investors, and the group fell
- 5:31Speaker 1: in response. You know, a lot of it concerned that
- 5:35Speaker 1: lower bond yields were cutting into the company's investment income.
- 5:39Speaker 1: So what happens today? You get the jobs report that's
- 5:42Speaker 1: well received, bond yields move up, and the life insurers
- 5:46Speaker 1: rebound with a vengeance met Life with a gain of
- 5:50Speaker 1: four percent, Prudential Financial up four point four percent, and
- 5:54Speaker 1: Lincoln National with a gain of five point eight percent.
- 5:57Speaker 1: In fact, Lincoln National the best performer on the day
- 6:01Speaker 1: in the SMP five. Prudential MetLife also in the top ten.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Well one stock that is not in the top ten
- 6:07Speaker 1: today this is Bristol Myers SCRIBB. We've been speaking about
- 6:10Speaker 1: it during the programming down nearly sixteen percent. This is
- 6:13Speaker 1: the biggest decline in fourteen years. Saying that it's a
- 6:17Speaker 1: drug up Divo failed in a lung cancer trial that
- 6:21Speaker 1: would have been the basis for widely expanding the use
- 6:25Speaker 1: of the treatment. Now the drug failure is a first
- 6:28Speaker 1: line treatment. It's a big blow to Bristol Myers. They've
- 6:32Speaker 1: looked for growth on immune based therapies for cancers. Once
- 6:36Speaker 1: again shares a Bristol Myers SQUIB down nearly sixteen percent today.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Of course, the flip side of that was Mark because
- 6:43Speaker 1: they make a drug called key Truda, which also treats
- 6:47Speaker 1: this form of lung cancer. And in fact, in June
- 6:50Speaker 1: they came out with results of a similar study to
- 6:54Speaker 1: the one that Bristol Myers just reported on and key
- 6:57Speaker 1: Truda met the main goal. So know that drug is
- 7:01Speaker 1: in a position perhaps to be a first line treatment.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Mark actually the best performer in SMP five today when
- 7:07Speaker 1: I was talking about the insurers in the context of
- 7:09Speaker 1: financial stocks, to be more precise, Mark with a gain
- 7:13Speaker 1: of ten point four percent in the wake of Bristol
- 7:16Speaker 1: Myers set back. I was gonna tell you a a little
- 7:18Speaker 1: bit about some bank stocks today. Financials rising after that
- 7:21Speaker 1: big payroll surge. For example, Bank of America trading at
- 7:25Speaker 1: its highest level since May thirty one, Key Corp up
- 7:28Speaker 1: about four and a half percent. That follows on what
- 7:30Speaker 1: you were just describing, Dave, having to do with insurance companies.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Key Corp shares showing continued strength, Key Corp unveiling a
- 7:40Speaker 1: new management team in Pittsburgh and setting a new executive
- 7:43Speaker 1: team to oversee the Buffalo market. A lot of activity
- 7:46Speaker 1: at Key Bank and Key Corps shares rising four and
- 7:49Speaker 1: a half percent today. Well one stock, actually two stocks
- 7:53Speaker 1: they got left out of today's advance. You turn about
- 7:56Speaker 1: Zillo group. This is the company that owns the real
- 7:59Speaker 1: estate website Zillo and truly a well. They came out
- 8:02Speaker 1: with results late yesterday. They had a net loss for
- 8:05Speaker 1: the second quarter that was wider than estimates. The loss
- 8:08Speaker 1: reflecting a hundred and thirty million dollar settlement of a
- 8:12Speaker 1: lawsuit brought by a competitor move owned by News Courts.
- 8:17Speaker 1: And so you've got Zillo with its voting shares Class
- 8:22Speaker 1: A down five and a half percent on the day,
- 8:24Speaker 1: with its non voting shares Class C little loss of
- 8:28Speaker 1: four points s z G the ticker for the voting stock,
