Y. Liz you are so right. It may make peoples eyes glaze over but it is, do not apologize, this is a big issue because the n is not behaving how currencies usually behave when governments and Central Banks say we will pile in more. Usually currencies are weaker on that. We are not seeing that at all. We are seeing strength in the yen. We showed the dollar hitting fresh 17 month lows, but the yen is the only one hire against the dollar. Japan may have slipped into its fourth recession in five years.

Ted cruz through thin crowds in the bronx and had to capture a school visit in the bronxnx aft kids threatened to walk out. Dodonald trump had a crowd of 18,000 but trump has little margin for error in the remaining primary contest after losing wisconsin and uta he came out swinging in his home state, slamming ted cruz over his less than complement 3 comments about new york values. Lying ted cruz came today. He couldnt draw num 100 people. Remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on new york values like we are no good. The worst attack in the history of the United States, the bravery that was shown was incredible. We all lived through it, we all know people that died. I got this guy standing over there looking at me talking about new york values with scorn on his face, with hatred of n york. Liz pretty big crowds for john kasich who drew two hours ago, look at these elbows and shoulders smashing together, the Ohio Governor confidently scschmoozing up a storm. Connell mcshane, a bunch of other members in the bronx to get a one on one with the governor. We had a chance to talk as he was on his way to mikes delhi which is how you do retail politics in new york city. The campaign has certainly arrived here. You were talking about the ugliness of wisconsin has arrived in new yoras well. The point about senator ted cruz, he didnt exactly get great treatment in the new york city tabloids after that incident in the bronx yesterday, the run in we had with a heckler. He went upstate outside new york city, coming back to the city this afternoon but the message did not change much, still going after donald trump. Donald ump has been supporting liberal democratic politicians for 40 years. I have no experience with that. Connell as for donald trump we havent seen him today, but your earlier point we saw plenty of them out there last night, bethpage covering the massive rally, the lions head staying above all that, the aforementioned john kasich has not been getting down and dirty as much as the other two, he is trailing in the delegate race and trailing by a lot. When we caught up with him today he seemed to be building in confidence with recent polling, and in recent polls Monmouth University and, when i spoke to him at mikes delhi, asked him about that. Everybody needs to give delegates. A lot of people question that, that is what is going to happen and it will be exciting. Connell you mentioned charlie black, the political operative, working on astrategy. The open convention, doesnt have any chance, in terms of delegates required, if you get to a second or thi ballot, john kasich claims delegates will jump s way. Liz he wants a contested convention all the way. Connell mcshane, some russian dressing. Catchup and yonnaise t together with a fancier name. Connell mcshane. What was once a mild faceoff, republicans in the democratic race, has broken into allout war. Last night at a rally in philadelphiaBernie Sanders ticked off a list of reasons Hillary Clinton isnt qualified to be president. Outside Yankee Stadium hillary clintoton refused to take i kno what you are but what am i on qualifications. I dont know why he is saying that but i will take Bernie Sanders over donald trp or ted cruz anytime. Lets keep our eye on what is really at stake in this election. We have republicans whose values are so antithetical to what is right for new york or right for america. Liz very kind on that but a reminder, that response is a far cry from her complaint just a week ago. Listen. Money from people that work i am so sick of the Sanders Campaign lying about that. Liz what is the best strategy . Does bernie already have an upper hand . Marianne marsh, democratic strategist and a republican strategist, hillary is changing tones, took the high road tod, is she flying high or flummoxed by Bernie Sanders . Is she back on her heels . She knows she will be the nominee because she has the delegates to be the e nominee a the tone change with Bernie Sanders is he finally realized he has a math problem, he cant catch her in delegates or get the nomination level and that is in pleed delegates, that is not counting superdelegates. Bernie sandeders trying to put shiny object out there by questioning whether she is qualified which is laughable frankly and pointing to that when he had a wiki cant catch her in delegates, had a bad Editorial Board of the New York Daily News and top that off with his unfortunate positioning about the newtowown families an gun manufacturers and he wants the media and everyone else to focus on his criticism of Hillary Clinton, not the fact that he can never catch her in delegates. Liz the s Sanders Campaign is gunning for a contested convention. Doesnt it feel like that . Feels m more like Hillary Clinton is not doing the right things to put Bernie Sanders away. She wasnt able to do it in 2008 against barack obama. Bernie sanders, selfavowed democratic socialilist at athei is exposing hillary for what she is, a terrible candididate. She has never en good, she had trouble in 2000, trouble in 2008 against barack obama. Liz she won the senator position twice in the state of w w york. She had to work the first time around. In 2006 new york had gotten so blue it was a cakewalk especially in an antirepublican year. Hillary clinton has never been a good c candida. Liz is she still the nominee if she loses to bernie in new york. Not sayingng that would happen t you never know with this election. Everything has changed. The difference between donald trump and Hillary Clinton and sanders and ted cruz, t trump they have to get the same percentage of remaining delegates but the democrats dont haveve winner take all. The republicans do which is why donald trump can still hit 12. 37. BeBernie Sanders can win every single delegate in everyththing remainincontest in every singngle state and still not cah Hillary Clinton. She is the nominee. It is Wishful Thinking because they wt the democrats to have a contested convention that wont happen because our math is different from their math. Liz wishful thinkinacross the board. He n needs a tap frothe fairy godmother but let me get to ted cruz. Whatever great feeling and love felt in wisconsin is vaporized, i cant say the state of new york, he is doing well upstate but is ranking number 3 behind john kasich and donald trump. What is donald trump getting out of new york by being here . Donald trump is putting down a bold exclamation point saying new york is my turf. He needs to hammer ted cruz to come out of it. Liz the question is can jn kasich catch up . When you are eating pizza with a fork that makes it harder. Liz this is a touchy subject. I fold the piece in half and kept the grease from dripping. John kasich is outperforming ted cruz. Despite that when ted cruz opposed sandy, that does not play well in new york even among new york republicans. Liz you saw the crowds john kasich is grabbing, they are not donald trump crowds but for the govern of ohio not bad. What do you think of his chances . He has no chance. He is a one hit wonder, he won ohio and that is it was only ted cruz and john kasichs game plan is to deny dald trump 1237 because even if he comes in at 1236 the Republican Convention is set up by wisconsin, and paul ryan to nominate paul ryan so donald trump has to get every to get every single delegate everything delegate he can. Plan to nominate somebody and steal the election, now you sound like Donald Trumps people. Donald trump can get 1237 still. You can get 1237 if he gets 58 of the remaining. I got you okay . The 3 last winne states, california, new jersey, montana, all they can do is deny him that. Make no mistakabout it. Liz we have market moving maneuvers here but we will bring you back, thank you soso much. Closing bell, we are 44 minutes aw. You can see the markets, we are dropping but we are well off the low, down 187. We will be right back with all the breaking news. There is a lot of it. Dont move. What surprises look closer to a contested convention . Brett there joining me on the next kennedy. Im mary ellen, and i quit smoking with chantix. I always came back to smoking. I was absotely frustrated, i did not think chantix would work as well as it did. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke. Some pple had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chant. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history ofental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix iyouve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. Dont take chantix iyouve and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common sideaect is nausea. I did it. I quit smoking. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. So what else is new . Humm. Shes doing good. She needs more care though. She wants to stay in her house. I dont know even where to start with that. Rst, lets take a look at your Financial Plan and see what we can do. Ok, so weve got. Well listen. Well talk. Well plan. Baird. Liz tough to tell what is going to happen. The markets gap down before the top of the hour came back slightly. We c can see down 198 points fo the Dow Jones Industria but the nasdaqown 79, only 10 points off o of its earlier session sses of 89 to the downside if you look k at specific secto, major Us Investment brinks dragging down the rkets, at Deutsche Bank falling 5 , the worst performing sector today, from european ceral Bank President mario draghi worried about too much global uncertainty, that is worrying world banks rit now. Rt of the market jitters hav to do with wt all central bankers are doing and that appears toe confusing all of you, confusing people abouwhat they will donext, specifically the fed. Not en the central bank know the answero that, the Federal Reserve was expected to raise Interest Rates threeimes in what was meant to the first step in winding down us economic stimulus but thaplan has been caed into major question with release of the fed minutes from the rcrch meeting, those ce out sterday and indicated the fed pretty much ems heavily dided over what the ne policyove should be.

Peter is in san francio. I don want to steal your under but where do they stand on this . Remembejanet yellen gave a speech last week saying the fed ould be cautious about raing rates again beuse of turmoil the Global Economy. Williams is watching that but says the us economy is doing well and if it continues to do well he could support two more rate hikes this year. Obviously we have to take into accouount global developmes because these go back intoto th us economy, affect job growth, affect inflation so that has been a big topic for us because honestly the us economomy is dog pretty well but the Global Economy has been struggling. We see that in europe and asia. These are the important factors affecting us growth, important factors affectingg the uncertainty about the outlook, those are issues we will keep watching, some signs of improvement, uncertainty about Global Growth seems to have stepped down a bit but it is an important factor affecting the Us Economic Outlook and monetary policy. Williams downplayed possible rift on policy saying fed members hold a range of views on the Us Economic Outlook but he did say while some members might see Downside Risks to the outlook he sees risks as pretty wellbalanced th upside potential for the us economy despite this global turmoil and we will air the rest of this interview at 4 40 with david and melissa and have an exclusive three or four minutes more on ththe global Bernie Sanders<\/a> for thinking new yorkers still use tokens.

A hopeful win in the empire state, donald trump talking new york values and bringing jobs back home in long island ahead of the april 19th primary, the one Small Business<\/a> owner at last nights rally who says there is no question trump is set f business. Every Auto Insurance<\/a> policy has a numberer. But not t every insurance compay understands the life behind it. Those who have served our nation have earned the very best service in return. Usaa. We know what it means to serve. Get an auto insurae quote and see why 92 of our members plan to stay for life. Liz here we go. About 31 minutes before the closing bell rings. Were watching the markets very closely. Its interesting, they touched a very hot stove of a low of the session about two minutes before the top of the hour. Back up off that, but its hard to say its positive when you have the dow down 186 points, the nasdaq down 75, the s p down 26. Were watching i it, folks. About new york, they say f you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. And last night donald trump made it here. The billionaire held quite a rally in bethpe, long island with nearly 18,000 tickets requested. New york is a state wherere over 50 of republicans say t they ae standing with donald trump. Were joined now by one of those supporters w who attended his rarally. Meet ceo christopher be we around rah. Chs, first of all, what was it like at the rally for you . It was denitely something ive never seen before. Ive had my fair share of political events and charity events. There was a good amount of people there. Just the whole leadup. I had the pleasure of going in with cole from buffalo who actually spoke before trump came out li yeah, hes been a guest on the show. Yes. And he was even, he even had to take a shuttle in. It wasnt like thereas preferential treatment for anybody. But i think it was all part of the plan for security and just toeep the flow, you know . There was a joke throughout the whole course of it like it was almost anmusement park ride. Like are we at disney or or great adventure . But it w p pretty well thought out and planned, and it kept order. Liz well, thats good to know. But as we look at that from that perspective, but then to the real substance. What was it that hooked you in the beginning about donald trump . Youre a Small Business<\/a>man, but youve got a great business. You make antibacterial products for things like gyms and workout places, corrrrect . Correct. We have a line of athletic cleansing products to prevent Skin Infections<\/a> in athletes, whether they be professional liz youre a founder, youve been workingt hard. Thats correct. Liz what t about trump makes yu say hes your candidate for a presidency job which is not just about businessss, but everythin . For y years ive been feeling that we need a businessmanan at the helm, somebodydy that knows how to get us out t of this deficit, help balance the budget beer, somebody thats been there on the strtreet and brougt jobs and created their own money and brought money innd raised money and have also been on the other end where e things gotot h and, you know, everybody claims hes bankrupt a few times, but liz here are some of the pictures that you took, by the way. Yes. Those were all 15,000 people behind us. Liz you got pretty close. I was right there, yep. Liz one o of the things donald trumump said he wants to do is slap some kind of a tariff on chinese and mexican imports because he said its not fair trade. I know that you make your products in america. Thats correct. Liz you get no Raw Materials<\/a> fromverseas . No,e stand by that. Our products are created here in the United States<\/a> liz maybe, though, somef your customers do get products in from china and other countries, and they the thinking is they might be hurt if you slap big tariffs on those products comi in from ore countries. You worried about that at all . Im not really worried about that. Im more worried about creating jobs here and not lettinbig or Small Companies<\/a> leave and go to other places to manufacture. We need those jobs here, we need we cant he it be so cheap and easy to bring it in from other countries. And thats one of the major things thai am firmly behind with donald trump. Liz good to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for having me. Liz businessman from long island whos in it to win it for donald trump. See you next time, thank you. Thank you. Liz what do we have here . 27 minutes before the closg bell ringings. Weve got the congressman who went to the highest levels of chinas government to attack the cybersecurity head on. Californias John Garamendi<\/a> here, just back from china, next on countdown. The thing that keeps me awake at night more than anything you mentioned is actually cyber. And the possibility of a significant cyber attack on our infrastructure, our electrical grid, our financial sector, our hospital and medical systems. Liz former nato commander that seed reese telling us on fox business t thats his biggest worry, bigger than northorea, bigger than isis. When it comes to nationstates who are e active participants in the hacking problem d cybersecurity, china right there at the top. So congressman John Garamendi<\/a> of califoia went straight to the source to deal with it. Hes just back i in a fox busins exclusive. Welcome, representative. And what did you lrn, what happened, whod you meet with, whatd they say . Well, we met with the Prime Minister<\/a>. There were 19 of us in the delegation. We met with him, and we raised five issues; Cybersecurity Issue<\/a> was one of them. Not only the issue that you just talked about which is a cyber attack on infrastructure, we made it very clear that we consider this to be a very serious problem x it could, indeed, be an act of war dependining on how its carried out. Also talked about cyber theft, the theft of copyright, the thefof materials coming out of our Entertainment Industry<\/a> and the like. We covered those issues and four othehers. Liz hold on, ive got to jump in here. It was a sharp and good meeting. Liz sir, thats pretty gutsy to tell the Prime Minister<\/a> of china we see this as an act of war . Well,l, we didnt use that wo exactly. We said we consider this to o ba very, very serious problem. He knows as we knonow at were building up a Cyber Command<\/a> within the department of defense specifically for the purpose of defending this nation, and its no secret t that its offense as well as defense. So this is, this is the world in which we live. And it can be extremely serious. Not so concerned about china because they know that theyre at risif they hold us at risk, we hold them at risk. But im concerned about nonstate actors that are able to hack into our vulnerable systems. We saw this at the dam in new york. But our electrical systems, chemical plants and the like, we need to be sure that we protect them, and thats part of what we must do in congress, is make sure that the, that the laws are in place, that the programs are in place to protect us from Cyber Attacks<\/a>. Liz well, to that end, whwhen e we going to start to see some laws, some bills put forth, things that are proposed that can at least get these on the bookoks so we dont have the confusion with things like apple versus the fbi . Well, there you go into a a very, very complex and very difficult thining. It has to do with privy, it has to do with freedom of speech as well as our personal and nationalal security. Theres got to be a balance. The industry seems to be very, very effective at finding various encryption systems. Can the government say ahead of it . Probably not x its probably not appropriate to do so. But what we do need to be able to do is to know whos talking to who, we need to identify those networks and then use the Network Identification<\/a> to track people that are causing or potentially causing problems, attacks of various kinds here many america and across the nation. Within the United States<\/a> weeve got to remember that a court order is necessary before we go after the actual words that are being used. Liz right, right. But we can, nonetheless, do tracking certainly at the foreign level. Liz did you get the sense that the chinese are as worried as the amamericans are now about ts time of f hacking that is not driviven by nationstates . Its worrisome both ways, but i think thats very clear. In the conversation, i dont remember all t the details becae of the translation back and forth, but clearly we made our point that Cyber Attacks<\/a> a are f utmost concern to us, and we consider thahat to be extremely serious. And similarly, cyberer piracy. And they arere blding their own movie industry, their own recordining industry and the li, and theyre justifiably concerned about that kind of piracy on their side. And they know that we know how to deal with both defense and offense. Were kind of at a stalemate, and thats okay. Weve been there before. But this is serious stuff, and we need to be paying attention to it. Liz well, so much so you got on a plane and felt with it. Congressman garamendi, we thank you very much. Thank you. Liz closing bell 19, make that 18 minutes away. Valeant shares, the drama ntntinues today moving h higher while the markets drop precipititously.

Liz reaking news, as the markets continue to fall these are year to date pictures that look decent but comparatively we would show you intradays, and they are dropping today. As long as the s p 500 is below 2045, we are in the red for the year. So right now at 2042 theyve got three points to gain before the end d of the session to geabove that. How do the experts play a choppy day . Traders at the New York Stock Exchange<\/a> and the cme group, want to go to todd colvin at the cme the volatility index i is spikig here. Lori rothman had mentioned it was up abo 17 . Im looking now, up about 15 . Fear caused by what in this last 45 minutes . Well, i dont think its necessarily the last 45 minutes. This has b been a riskoff trade all day. And if you look at the vix while itit is up, it is still historically lowow, and i think very much suggests that ththe market is not priceded in for a bibig move to the could be side. Downside. Since e fomc, weve seen stockso nowhwhere but down, and the fed really had nothing to say but goodod about the economy. The stock market does not like a confused fed. Liz oh, isnt that true. Peter barnes has an exclusive interview w with the head of the San Francisco<\/a> fed thats coming up in just a about 25 minutes on after the bell with melissa and david, and in it he reveals he feels theres still a couple more rate hikes that are in play here. Dodo you agree, because it seems some say yes with the fed, some say no. Ain, thahat confusion that todd was talking about. Clearly, the gogood news yesterday was that the fed was giving the market a free pass on Interest Rate<\/a> hikes s until jun. So you could have another hike maybe in october liz okay, so why today this hysteria . Well, i think that today werre one day closer to q1 earnings season wherere were probably going to have the fifth consecutive quarter of declining revenunues for the s p 500 and e second or third quarteof declining earnings for the s p 500. And even thohough many estimates for compananies have been, have come down, yve got about 90 companies reduce estimates, ththeyre not going to maybe mi, but the trend is not going in the right direction. Liz todd, weeve got about 11 minutetes to go before the closg bell rings. We blew out commercial breaks because we felt that things were extremely jittery here. What flows do you see on the Trading Floor<\/a> right mow . I think youre seeing one of those end of the day rushes. I dont put a whole lot of credence in the last ten minutes of trade on a day like today especially after the week weve had with minutes and what not, so i think that its a volatility trade. Stocks should be lower here based on the fact that the fed is not giving you any direction. And lets face it, treasury starting to creep higher, gold volatilitythats where the stock markets going to go until the fed can figure out a gamee plan. They worked without a playbook when they were cutting rates and they are when theyre trying to raise them, and ill be honest, theres a 500 shots that they even raise rates one time this year. Liz if you look at the firsttime jobless claims, folks, i believe this is the 57th week a row where we see these at relativellow numbers, below 300,000. That is a good data point, is it not, tim anderson . Do you go into stocks here or not . Well, sure its a good data point, but i think i hate to just repeat myself. Were so close to earnings, and i think theyre going to be ry important. People might be just saying its only a week away, im going to wait andee how the first four or five days of earnings season plays out before i make a real strong commitment here. The other thing id add is the optic from 20,000 feet of the treasury killing the pfizer allergan deal, the Justice Department<\/a> killing the halliburton schlumbeer deal liz doesnt help. And other kind of fighting going back and forth is not really a good optic. Liz g good to see you both. Im checking both allergan and fiers, im not goingo look a lot into that, the whole market seems to be red at the moment. The volatility index and mcdonalds. Good to see both of you, we appreciate it, guys. Looking at Valeant Pharmaceuticals<\/a> though, still making headlines after a volatile but days. Heres some green on the screen, valeant is bucking the market trend, jumping by more than 3 percent. Could it be ready to sell off some of its most well known assets to stop the bleeding and maybe, charlie, thatss why its moving higher . Could be. We could tell you this, this is what we have from sources. Investment bankers that are dealing with in this issue right now, valeant is eyeing asset sales to pay down some of its debt. Its got 32 billion in debt, and one of the assets we hear that theyre actively discussing and this is a pretty big deal if it comes to fruition is its bausch and loam unit. Lomb. Bankers are tellinthe Fox Business Network<\/a> that inside theyre actively discussing a potential sale of that to pay down some of that debt. How much could they get for that . Well, they bought it for 9 billion in 2013. Ive seen to e estimates range from about 2030 billion you can get for this, and thats a big chunk of change. Can they, you know, the question is, you know, how much do you sell and what type of assets do you sell . Because there is a bullish case to this company. If you resucture the debt, which they did, theyve reached agreement today,nd at some point you start making money based on the assets you have, can this well, what is it right now . A 20 stock . 30 stock . Liz again, with the annual high of 246. Maybe its 60 stock when all is said and done. Liz compa. The Business Model<\/a> of the past, ramp uprices, thats gone. We cant make money that way. We cant make money by buying all these companies, its already too much debt. We have to basically make money off of the units that produce positive cash flow. Bausch and lomb is one of those, but i do know from inside the company they are actively discussing selling this asas pat of this plan to ramp down the debt. Liz weve got this selloff here, and the traders were saying just watch earnings coming o out, broadening this discussion here. Right. Liz this is what stocks shoul be trading on, earnings and the prospect of earnin. Well, the problem is that you have politics playing such a big role right now in the maets. You have a fed tt, you know, is up clear about where its going to go, is it going to eads or raise one more time . We dont, yoknow, most traders arsiding with the fact that ey wait another, you know, theyre not going to raise in the near term. Liz and pers got the san ancisco fed saying at least two m but the markets y just december. Yh, thats what theyre saying. Thats pretty far off. And the other thing is politics in termsscrewing you know, the markets like deals. What happens when two mpanies come together . They create efficienes of scale, its good for thetock. Markets are here now that the obama administrations being very aggressive on a lot of these mergers liz whichs just whathe traders said. Dont help. You cant just trade off of earnings. Getting back to valeant, there is a bull case here, im telling you. I know a lot of people. Its not going to be a 250 stock, whatever it was in the past, but this thing theoretically at least according to the bulls. Im not saying by e stock, but there is a potential for doublinggoing to 60 maybe, who knows . One of the ways they dthat, sell off some of the asset bausch and lomb is a big cnk if thedo it. I do know theyre talking out. Liz can you hang around . Sure. Liz w were going to bring in steve dudash, and he has about 700 million in assets under management, and i need to know right now what you do on an afternoon like this with about six minutes to go before the trading session is donesomee were off the lows of the session, but we are negative for the year on the p 500. Were not that negative though compared to where we were in january. I think you guys nailed it, by the way, when you were just talking about whats when can we Start Talking<\/a> about earnings again . When can we get away from the fed, get away from the unclarity ththats going on there, you kn, one side saying were never going to raise rates, the other side two minutes later says were raising them as many times as possible . Cant we get back to earnings . Can we get away from the political nonsense and get back to what the actual Balance Sheets<\/a> say about these companies versus all the other nonsense thats been going on . Diswhriz liz but as you see a day like today, and yet we are higher yesterday, makes it more challenging for our viewers. Whats your secret, whats your trtrick on a couple of my trick . [laughter] my trick is when everyone running away from something, were running it. Liz yeah. Right now the biotech sectors been getting crushed in the last six months. I personally think its been oversold. Yes, last year there was some really negative press about some people putting up cancer drugs to 1,000 a pill, and that drove all the politicians liz that acactually dovetails very well, i dont know if you heard what gasparino was saying so do you like valeant at these levels . [laughter] i didnt like it at 240. [laughter] yeah, i like where youre going can we put up a chart on valeant . Yeah, its up a little bit since our report. There is a bull case on n valeat that its maybe not a 250 stock, but it mit be a 60 stock. Laugh and part theres a bull case for the whole sector though. That whole sectors been destroyed and overly sold. Theres definitely some Bad Companies<\/a> in there, dont get me wrong. But youre telling me all these medical Companies Need<\/a> to go out of business . Thatats whats being priced in right now. Liz at 12 yesterday on news about eli lilly and a drug its acquiring. I dontt think it comes down to the individual drugs theyre acquiring. A company like that, they are profitable, and they dont need to worry about every single drug making it through the process because you guys both know, its a very long process and not always so what do you think of val want . Valeant . I hate to cut you off, weve only got a few minutes. Its a good company. Do you like it at 35 . I think its a fun company to get into at this price because youre getting good value on your money. Liliz were down 192 on the Dow Jones Industria<\/a>ls here, and you like google alphabet. Thatof course, is a name that has been very, very strong over the past s several years, but theres news today that the European Union<\/a> may go after it like it went after mort on antitrust issues. You worried about that . Theyre the biggest kid on the block. Of course people are going to come after them. Theres going to be political reasons why theyre going to put antitrust, and theyre going to come after those companies. I like alphabet, and i know this is o off the beaten path here, i like them because of all the things besides the Search Engine<\/a> liz did you hear, too, that tesla speaking of Technology Companies<\/a> has 325,000 reservations over one week for its new model . I know. Thats your baby, and im not going to knock tesla in front of you, but i will there is no chance that they come through with all 300 and howevever ty could say they got a billion orders, that doesnt mean anything. Liz well, would agree do you know anybody that owns an electric car . Well, that oar thats the other part of this. Liz z i saw six of them on the west side highway today, and theyre all er california, charlie, hate to break it to you. You notice shes on the west side highway, the most liberal part of new york. [laughter] liz thats the easiest way for people from connecticut to get to wall street. Tesla is a good company, but they cannot produce what theyre promising. Liz they need to be a better company. Exactly. Liz the breaking news is that the markets are off the lows of the session. At one point we were down about, what was it, 200 anthe worst of the session, 232. The s p had been down 33, the nasdaq had been down 89. We are up off all of thosese floors, but when you see the vix spiking and gold jumping 18, what is thatat final message, steve . I think gold is the worst investment on the planet right now. [laughter] i dont know how else to put it. Until they come up with a way to actually use gold for some sort of production value thing, it is a fear trade. People buy liz im wearing production value my ears right now. How about pinky ringsgs . [laughter] yeah, exactly. Right. Youre buying something so to people out of fear. Some inflation hedge. It hasnt been. Gold standard is not coming back. Making comment about liz we cant to thanks steve. We appreciate you coming on. Great job. Nice to have you, picking google and picking insight. Look at this, folks, down is 73 points. Tripledigit loss on the dow. S p no longer positive for the year. There is the closing bell.
