Speaker 3: I'm Tim Staebeck along with Carol Master. We're joined by
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Television Markets correspondent Nora Melinda Noura. What are you watching?
Speaker 4: Welcome my eyes on some of the airline companies. We're
Speaker 4: seeing Delta Airlines up higher alongside American Airlines and a
Speaker 4: few of the other names in that S one five
Speaker 4: airil index. This, of course is after we've heard from
Speaker 4: different carriers that they are relatively bullish looking at the future.
Speaker 4: We do know that there's been so much conversation about
Speaker 4: the price of oil and fuel and what that means
Speaker 4: for flights. So you are seeing a lot of people
Speaker 4: coming out. They're essentially saying that this is the strongest
Speaker 4: booking trends that they've seen in industry history, some of
Speaker 4: those so we are seeing both premium leisure and business
Speaker 4: travelers throughout here snapping up airline tickets because are really
Speaker 4: just trying to get ahead and we could potentially be
Speaker 4: a surgeo to lock in a price right, So they're
Speaker 4: trying to get ahead, planning in advance. Don't know if
Speaker 4: you guys are planning some flights coming up.
Speaker 1: But we have a bunch of we have a bunch
Speaker 1: of work stuff do Yeah, we actually have a flight home,
Speaker 1: but I on think we have a flight there.
Speaker 3: We'll get there.
Speaker 1: We actually have a lot stuff coming.
Speaker 3: This is the S and B five h SMB fifteen
Speaker 3: hundred passenger Airlines index. So it has nine different companies.
Speaker 3: It looks like the only one that's lower today is
Speaker 3: Jet Blue. That's kind of an idiosyncratic story. But yeah,
Speaker 3: eight are higher. And look at that, I mean, dealta
Speaker 3: up six point six percent right now.
Speaker 4: Just on a terror Yeah, so clearly people.
Speaker 3: Are on a day when oil is actually higher.
Speaker 1: Right right, exactly exactly all right, So we're watching those names.
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Lift. I've been watching this too, Tim, and
Speaker 1: I've been watching this as well.
Speaker 3: And you're just still waiting for your driverless car.
Speaker 4: Yes, maybe it's coming.
Speaker 1: Well me away, moll, I'll take it everywhere anywhere.
Speaker 4: Was you do in New York City?
Speaker 3: They have them in New York they just have drivers
Speaker 3: behind the wheel. I've seen I saw two of them
Speaker 3: the other day.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 1: I think I would. I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: incredible training. I think it's going to have to shift
Speaker 1: in terms of a New Yorkers and how they look
Speaker 1: and think about these. But man, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: darting all the bikes fair you know, the delivery guy
Speaker 1: I know who are flying around the not you. But
Speaker 1: come on, you know how many times have you walked
Speaker 1: off a curb and almost no?
Speaker 3: No, I know, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Just pointing out if you're careful and car yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you.
Speaker 3: The cyclist in the city, and now was standing that.
Speaker 3: If we're talking just about the cars, I think it's
Speaker 3: fair to say that you and I love about the
Speaker 3: driverless cars is that they follow rules.
Speaker 1: They follow rules, and if you.
Speaker 3: Follow the rules of the road, you will not get
Speaker 3: hit by a car.
Speaker 1: Because we've talked about that anyone. We think that if
Speaker 1: everybody just does what they're supposed to do, if only
Speaker 1: it's also the spot music when you sit in and
Speaker 1: you're like nobody to us, you right, like okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: we digress, we digress. Go.
Speaker 4: You would have left two names that we're watching. Both companies,
Speaker 4: along with Nvidia announcing separate autonomous vehicle partnerships, and so
Speaker 4: we did hear Deutship Bank analysts are saying that many
Speaker 4: self driving car companies don't actually have an existing ride
Speaker 4: hailing business, so they feel as though Uber this makes
Speaker 4: Uber's network the fastest, more efficient way to really scale.
Speaker 4: So you're certainly seeing shares of both Lifts and Uber higher.
Speaker 4: Uber seeing its best days since June of last year.
Speaker 4: And lastly, let's and think also, Carol's still thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I know I'm writing I'm riding waimak sorry as we should.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so those are Lyft and Uber. Yeah you planes,
Speaker 3: you talked about automobile.
Speaker 1: Yes, take your plane or your driverless car or two
Speaker 1: six Flags enter jez it is.
Speaker 4: And hop on a roller coaster, tick her fun f
Speaker 4: you and the ticker office of driver list.
Speaker 1: If you think about it, you're just there.
Speaker 4: But we're seeing shares of the company up about seven
Speaker 4: point six percent right now. Is after Jena Partners, which
Speaker 4: we know as an activist investor. Essentially they're pushing Six
Speaker 4: Flags Entertainment to pursue a sale and appoint a new chair.
Speaker 4: They're essentially exciting concerns about the board's ability to deliver
Speaker 4: for shareholders. They said they've seen an alarming pattern of
Speaker 4: board dysfunction and disjointed decision making, and they're urging the
Speaker 4: company to engage with potential buyers. So I mean it
Speaker 4: sounds as though investors pretty much agree.
