Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen, and David Faber kicked off the hour with reaction to President Trump's latest remarks at Davos - as stocks jumped on new comments around Greenland. Citadel's Ken Griffin (at Davos for the first time in over a decade) gave his first reaction on the backside - along with his take on the macro, geopolitics and more. Plus: Sara also checked in with one of tech's biggest dealmakers in Davos - Thoma Bravo's Orlando Bravo - about why the recent software sell-off could be a buying opportunity. Also in focus: the key movers of the day, from Netflix slumping post-results to big gains for the chips. What's driving those moves, this hour. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer
