Ashley stocks extending into the second session with all three major indices closing in the red. Eight of 10 s p sectors ended lower. Telecom, industrials the worst performing sectors while health care and materials boosted games. The big winner in the precious metal, platinum jumped 1. 7 settling above 1580 per ounce, gold also rising and in the green up 1 to snap a three session losing streak. U. S. Small Business Owner confidence increasing just slightly almost flat for december but remaining after record low levels. The National Federation reporting the index rose a half a point, the survey planning uncertainty surrounding the fiscal cliff negotiations as a drag on sentiment last month. Sandra chief investment officer, we are waiting on earnings from the aluminum maker alcoa, the unofficial kickoff of the Fourth Quarter earnings season. The average estimate right now heading into that is 0. 06 per share in revenue. Larry, looking at these markets today, and other down day, what is this telling us . The selloff this week, are we facing the reality that is the debt crisis in this country . What are you focused on . Im focused on congestion and consolidation. This really isnt a selloff at all, more of consolidating and digesting, people are desperate looking for the next catalyst it seems nobody is talking about europe or china and even the fiscal cliff has been in the rearview mirror. Earnings coming in tonight, that to be the next catalyst driving the market. Sandra we are hearing we will be getting alcoas numbers. Theyre starting to hit the wire. I am seeing sales of 5. 9 billion, so revenues appear to be beating the street estimate. The revenue number looking pretty good, is this something you were looking for . I was wrong. Revenue is a lot more important than earnings per share. Ashley adam shapiro has all of the revenue numbers, what do you have . Adam it is a hit and they beat on the numbers coming in 0. 06 earnings on revenue. Coming in at 5. 9 billion they do acknowledge the low Aluminum Prices but theyre talking about being in a strong cash position. Delivering overhead improvement, kind of crowing right now of havinhavingthe cash on hand. Ashley there we have it, matching estimates of 0. 06, but beating the revenue 5. 9 billion obviously have to dig into this more and more the guidance seems to be happy with having a lot of cash on hand, what is your thought . The market is wrong, including me. 65 of the business downstream depends on engineered product, etc. , etc. Saying this would not be good for alcoa. Options markets with a 40cent move, dont know what the stock is doing but it seems i am wrong and the market is wrong, it must be higher. Sandra global aluminum demand forecasting it to be up 7 , larry, in 2013. That is a big turnaround from the demand we have seen. It is a really good indication to the economy pointing to an improvement in the economy. They are implying 6 to 7 demand growth. What is more important is supplies are even higher and beyond that it is really strong. Aluminum still not trading. We will still see the utmost production of aluminum creating a bigger supply, longer and longer to see stocks. Ashley after hours up about 0. 16 on the bid. Do you see a lot of movement to the upside when it opens tomorrow . Probably so. Given the Options Market implied 0. 40 move it seems a little bit more upside. I would still be a seller right now, a little rich given the price of aluminum will stay low. A little more upward momentum is in order for tomorrow morning. Sandra we will get to you when the s p futures close. Maybe could set a positive tone for the earnings right now. Ashley is it a bellwether situation . But mostly positive for aluminum, so interesting stuff. Lets change gears a little bit, israeli finance minister meeting with u. S. Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner pressing on iran and discuss the economic relationship and we are very lucky. Israels minister of finance joining us now. Thank you so much for being here. We wanted to get into the economy but first wanted to ask you about meeting with secretary tim geithner, how does that go and what was the key issue discussed . It was excellent for his corporation merely on two issues. Secondly very important the treasury in the sanctions from iran, those sanctions are 50 50, maybe they are not sufficient alone but finally very, very effective. Ashley are you concerned the president s nomination of chuck hagel for defense secretary he has spoken out against allegations of iran and israel in previous speeches, are you concerned about that if he makes it through the nomination process . This is an easy question. Feeling the united states, respecting any decision by the president and congress. We expect our friends out of the israeli position. Ashley can we bring in liz claman . In las vegas at the consumer electronic show. Take it away. Liz thank you for joining us. A lot of israeli companies, israel is a very fertile area for the entrepreneur. That is why Companies Like yahoo and intel and microsoft Advanced Micro Devices go in and set up shop because israel is an opportunity. But he has spoken about how inflation is so unbelievably high, the taxes are very high. What are you going to do as finance minister to really make it a better and more conducive atmosphere for the entrepreneur in israel . 1. 4 , this was the index. As mentioned before, the economy is still growing and relatively good speed, it was mainly, mainly due to increasing investments in the economy in israel since the beginning of 2010 investment was close to 24 . Helping us create many, many new jobs and to overcome the Global Crisis relatively in good shape. Still we will have to make some budget cuts, which will be tough. But i would emphasize to make it more and more attractive for the investments. We strengthen israels image as a Global Center for Technology Innovation for development and more and more companies from the united states, intel and many others invested in israel. In the last two years many, many new investments by companies that also opens r d facilities. Liz that is hugely crucial. How much is that helping your economy . Par the attraction from a lot of u. S. Ceos and why they go to israel is a very motivated workforce. Is that at the forefront of what the chinese are thinking as well . Speak out to other things we have very good as you mentioned. Scientist engineers. We work with many incentives, we came up just two years ago to promote the future developments of the industrys for the next 20 years and i went to china and met with the chinese finance minister and Prime Minister and i convinced them to give a very clear green light from a very clear announcement in these companies to consider allowing them to consider investments in israel. Several significant chinese investments in israel in the last two years or in china, here we had some competition because the export is going down a little bit because of the european crisis. Stuart israel managed to skirt the crisis from 2009 to 2012 when the overall economy came in 14. 7 , which is very impressive but showing signs of slowing down. What are you doing to try and counteract that . We were slowing down in 2012. Still the fastest in the western world. Two major reasons. The crisis in europe and exports going to europe, so slowing down in the exports, and secondly in 2012 the pipeline was once and again, there was no cheap gas. It will reach only then. One year without that it is very expensive. Added value went down a little bit also from egypt. In a few months time well have the israeli discussions.

Getting a pop on news they coud hire famed attorney to consider legal action. Ashley exquisite detail, Senior CorrespondentCharlie Gasparino. Charlie they have hired, they may file legal charges against him for what they believe is liable. I dont know if it is a pyramid scheme, but he is a very successful short sailor. He makes money when stocks go down. He has been successful. He was right directionally, thank you was wrong about the notion he thought it was a pyramid scheme, ponzi scheme. They were a firm, but they insured bad debt. That is a problem with some of the stuff he says but a lot of these do that. Heres what we have been talking about today.

Talking to paul jacobs of what is next in the world of mobile technologies. Stay tuned. There are patients who will question, why does my mouth feel dryer than i remember it to be . There are more people taking more medication, so we see people suffering from dry mouth more so. We may see more cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. A dry mouth sufferer doesnt have to suffer. I would recommend biotene. The enzymes in biotene products help supplement enzymes that are naturally in saliva. Biotene helps moisten those areas that have become dry. Those that are suffering can certainly benefit from biotene. Sandra ashley, listen up.
