Connell the stock market looks pretty good. The economy looking better. John brown joins us. Senior Economic Consultant at euro pacific. Have we turned the corner a little bit . I think there is reason for some optimism. I think strategically the economy is still in very bad shape. Tactically, consumers are beginning to spend. That is a good thing. Things are getting better. Therefore people are spending. Government has to take reality down the road. It has borrowed against the credit of the young and the future. Meanwhile, consumers have deleveraged. They have saved a considerable amount of cash despite low Interest Rates. Now, they are frustrated about a recession. They have negative Interest Rates and attempted to buy a new car. The attempted with new families to buy new housing. Things are picking up, in that respect. That is good. Connell first of all, and the jobless claims, some of this may be seasonal. We may pay for this, so to speak. On your point about consumer spending, i wonder why people are more confident and they are not thinking about the issues and washington. Do people just not care about that . Certainly, they must care about their paycheck. Isnt it discouraging to a lot of people to have smaller paychecks . That is a very interesting thing you say. I totally agree with you. I did not say confident. They are prepared to spend. I think that is a big danger. Masses of money being pushed into the system. We are not facing reality anymore. Connell huge critics of that type of behavior. Look at the stock market. Off again today. Soon it will be at 14,000. The dow at 13867. That makes people feel better. Do you like what you see in the stock market or does it worry you more about the future . What do you make of it . Of course, what you are saying is absolutely right. The fact is, individuals are not ready to return to the stock market. It is mainly institutional work. This great cash balance and so there is money flowing into the stock market. I think people see the bond market is the biggest travel ball. There is reason to be optimistic in certain areas. For example, in natural gas if you have a producer, those areas, i think, are very good. The Energy Picture for the United States is really quite bullish looking to the future. That will help.

So much of this did not get to the core view. They knew full well that it was not due to a spontaneous uprising. Connell what does it matter now . That i think was the quote of the week, if not the quote of the year. I found it to be so outrageous. First of all, it matters to the four families of those four dead americans. It also matters that she and this Administration Lied to the American People for four months about what caused this in the coverup afterwards. The other thing that matters is that the lack of respect from benghazi has been sent to our enemies. We were covering the algerian hostage crisis. When our enemy sees that the United States will not retaliate when america is hit, when americans are killed or taken hostage, that emboldens the enemy. You will see more and more of algeria. That is what matters. Dagen what did we find out that we did not already know . There is one suspect still that they have under surveillance. Beyond that, what is the point of this . It was pointless. What were they covering up . That was the core issue. What were we really doing in benghazi . Why was the ambassador there with only two armed guard that 9 30 p. M. At night . We did not get to any of the core issues. It was all just political posturing speak. I found myself making about future, you know, it is almost sickening to do this, 2016 and watching her and marco rubio. Will secretary clinton run . You should be thinking about other things. There are four dead americans here. That has not happened in 2030 years. We deserve answers. Families deserve answers. Instead, all we got was politics.

Liz we had a couple of guys coming through here who are very optimistic. All three of them extremely optimistic. Particularly, about the u. S. Economy. Our you prevent i say the table is very well said. Capable, plenty of cash. 5 million more working. Housing has turned totally. It will not get better in spite of the economy. If you look at america and look at other things. Those things are great. [talking over each other] policy could be it. Dagen of course that was liz claman talking to jamie dimon. The table is set for the economy to do well. Connell one of the many influential leaders over there in davos. Liz is live with us now with another one of those leaders. Take it away. Liz what jamie dimon met by good policy was in essence of the grand bargain of sorts that would put a end to all the questions about spending and taxation so businesses could go forward. Those questions will always be there. Jpmorgan just came out with great earnings last week. What you see there is they can do business in any kind of atmosphere. There was not as much complaining by jamie dimon this time around about all the legislation. John chambers of cisco, they route all of the big events. In fact, they wanted the entire london olympics. They brought that up. I talked about how that is one American Company<\/a> that is at least maintaining that leadership. Here is what John Chambers<\/a> said. We were very fortunate. A big partner with media. The point that you sent mail for, and thank you for it, we bring video to life that we changed productivity, we changed goals and we are a company that is trying to be transformational to become the top it company in the world. Liz people were critical of cisco. They said the stock was not doing anything. In the meantime, your stock is up 25 since just this last november. I think people got comfortable. We made five transitions and about 20 years at cisco. I think we are in the highgrowth areas. All the things you hear about technology, we grew 61 this last quarter. Mobility we grew 38 . We are transforming to solve a government need. We talked about how we create new industries. Meeting with israel we talked about security and direction. Meeting with the uk we talked about the Leadership Team<\/a> there and transforming the country. We have the chance to become the number one i two player and we are going to go for it. Liz what do you say about qualcomm. He said everything is wireless. Everything is smart phone. You do not need cable. [ laughter ] never argue with them. He is right. 38 of our growth has been there. We are the pure leader there. We are becoming the partner of all of his customers. The market will be both a wire world and a Wireless World<\/a>. The stock has outperformed. What he has done is basically said, how do we do both. How do we focus on the customers entertainment value . While we will be a Wireless World<\/a> growing fast, you will see both in your home cable throughout the marketplace. Liz start with that. You know what, we could not do our job here without cisco. That is our wireless router. You still need the cisco equipment. We thought that was interesting. All of the world and Business Leaders<\/a> have been congregating here. I want to let everyone know, all of our interviews, the entire jamie dimon interview and everyone else is on fox business. Com davos. Coming up in the next hour, another leader in american business. The chairman and ceo of bed products. They are the largest medical device maker. They will be hit with a 2. 3 medical device tax. Stay tuned for the interview. It is in the next hour. We have the coke ceo at 3 00 p. M. Eastern. So much more. I will send it back to you guys in new york. It is freezing here, by the way, dagen. Dagen it was about 11 degrees here this morning. It is in territory throughout the region. Connell lets go back to Nicole Petallides<\/a>. Nicole i want to take a look at apple. This is a day where we are certainly kicking off. Apple is way on the nasdaq. Not too far off from the earlier highs of the day. Here is a look at apple. Up from its lows of 450 and change. Certainly, apple shareholders are certainly disappointed. What happened . All the people got in there and had high notes for apple. There is one thing we should know, they did have record iphone and ipad sales. The numbers fail to read that wall street estimates. It certainly continues to waste on apple. Connell thank you. Dagen what is apples next move to help the tech giant to at least stay on top of its game . Connell Shibani Joshi<\/a> will cover this. Shibani apple shares are just getting dogged today. There is lots of concern about what is happening with the companys mojo. Eighteen different companies, including article eighth have cut the Companies Price<\/a> target by 132. The average price target is 612. Concerns about apples core growth. Yesterday, the iphone sales fell short of that 50 million mark. That was the lines in the sand that the company needed to be. Also, cheaper Iphone Models<\/a> were selling better than the iphone5. The iphone for is essentially for free with a carrier. Consumers are more price conscious. Investors think that there is a cap on growth. What will get the companys mojo back, Brian Marshall<\/a> said today that apple should bring to market a lower price point iphone. It will drive significant iphone adoption. Connell and dagen, the one thing i want to point out, yes, the stock is down today. People have been quite bearish. The fundamentals still remain quite strong. It is not that the stock is doa, it just is not growing. It does not have that edge it once had a year or two ago. Connell we will talk about a subject that is close to our hearts. Lack of sleep. We will talk about how companies are not taking action on that. Dagen it will make you crazy. Connell and i can both talk about that. You can find some winners on the nasdaq. Apple is a major loser today. What are you doing . Nothing. Are you stealing our Daughters School<\/a> supplies and taking them to work . No, i was just looking for my stapler and my. This thing. I save money by using fedex ground and buy my own supplies. Thats a great idea. Im going to go. We got clients in today. [ male announcer ] save on ground shipping at fedex office. Dagen really . Some good news for boeing. Bloomberg reporting that Delta Airlines<\/a> are in talks with both airbus and boeing to buy 1 billion of new jets. D is looking to buy about 2430 current, single aisle versions of the boeing 737 instead of it newer version. Connell it turns out, surprise surprise that a good nights rest is good for business. Exhausted employees are hurting productivity and costing companies over 63 billion a year in the u. S. Companies like procter gamble, Goldman Sachs<\/a> and others are now investing in programs to help their employees sleep better. Whatever. Maybe that is our excuse, i guess. Dagen we are not allowed to complain to one another about lack of sleep. We all sleep three hours a night and get up at 3 00 oclock in the morning. Some of the big Defense Sector<\/a> names in the red. Connell lets get the trade from sandra smith. Sandra if you own some of these, you probably will not get much sleep tonight. They are taking big hits. These are stocks that have done investors quite well over the last year. The prophets in the Fourth Quarter<\/a> were down 17 . They are making some management changes. They beat higher profits for 2013. A little bit of a rosy outlook for the year. Remember, these defense contractors under a lot of pressure. Also, look at sales were flat. They also had lower expectations for 2013. They also talked about a very uncertain future as far as defense spending. By the way, also up about 15 over the last year. Momentum has been to the upside. I do not know about you guys, but, after that, i need something to perk me up. Starbucks. It is after the bell tonight. We will have a look ahead to that after the bell. Dagen you look great. Sandra thank you. Dagen i mean that. Connell she always looks terrific. The question is, can private investors make a profitable twinkie . Negotiating to sell off its big namebrand treats.

We will talk about both of those names coming up during the hour. Dennis baking profitable twinkie, bankrupt hostess to some of its bigname brand treats, an exclusive interview with ceo greg rayburn on who may wind up owning the twinkie brand. Cheryl jobless claims coming in today hit a five year low, but we have a Top Investment<\/a> strategist who says theres a lot of worry out there and you can blame washington. Who is responsible for lots of things there economy. Top of the hour, stocks down every 15 minutes and Nicole Petallides<\/a> on the floor of the Stock Exchange<\/a>. We are up at least on the dow pretty big despite what we are seeing on the nasdaq. Detail two markets. Nicole we followed apple and we knew that was way on the nasdaq, that is what happened. The Dow Jones Industrial<\/a> average, the dow theory has not comprised apple within and is not heavily weighted in the s p so the s p and the dow moving higher once again, the dow is at a five year i like the isnt the above 1500 to dick for the First Time Since<\/a> 2007 so these are stellar markets. It is great to report to people who are along the markets. A nice run. On the other hand we started talk about apple which has come and the significant pressure trading as low as 450 after its quarterly report. The short sale rule is in effect if you dropped and in regular trading exchanges prevent sales and a certain way, you can actually sell stock to prevent a pylon on the stock that is already beaten down. That is the case today apple. [talking over each other] thank you very much. Economic data coming in, jobless claims at a low as point since 2008. My next guest says when it comes to the economy many big risks are out there. The director of equity trading joins me now. You are looking ahead to the debt ceiling and saying another policy error could be a big market hit. What do you mean by that . We look cant think we are still in this leveraging scenario. It is not over. Debt levels are still high in the u. S. And many developing economies. We have to bring those down to create a nice fundamental situation. That provides a lot of opportunity for policymakers to make mistakes or mess things up. And the extension in front of a sequester coming. The extension of the budgets for the coming year, in europe we still have spain refinancing 20 of gdp in debt, more than enough opportunities, that is not a best case. You are talking about the United States<\/a>, the worst enemy at this point. To get these jobless claims at week 5year lows, nice to see but if unemployment is at 10 , in range for 2013, and it will take 1 2 of of the gdp, no jobs, dont even have an economic recovery and no jobs. Not necessarily a bad economy, we are in an okay economy, not great because 1 2 , from a fiscal austerity coming through the pike, the job situation is improving gradually, housing is and i still wind that has been a head wind for multiple years. The economy is in ok shape but not something we can jump up and down and get excited that were off to the races at this point in time so we have a lot of work to do and a lot of chances to make errors. We are advising people to be cautiously optimistic in your portfolio positioning. Which target is at the end of the year . Dont make s p targets on a 1year basis. We can say over the next couple years we are thinking 6 to annual gains. That would be ok considering what we are facing, jason pride. Dennis shares of apple taking a nose dive. You put a buy on apple, able twentythird with 1 24 in, didnt even take off in september. Are you going to take off your recommendation now. Obviously we definitely should have looking back taking the opportunity to run up, substantially been a little more measured given the risk that some point came to fruition but the reality is were talking now and as of now at 460 a share we think apple is a body at this. When you put in the strong buy, what level . November, mid november. Actually is an incredibly cheap stock at a priceearnings multiple phase and for a lot of shareholders who got shut out now is there time to get back in but the technical guys talk about support levels and apple had this 505 support that fell through, the next one at 460. If it closes before 460 today can it go even farther down . It is possible. Im not a technical analyst. We really focus on fundamental analysis. As you point out you look at calendar year 2014 which we updated cabane revise downward last night, apple trading at less than we kind times earnings. Pretty astounding. They came 47. 5 million iphone sales. That is a boat load but wall street 150 million. Is this an overreaction . We think it is an overreaction. One point to bring out is growth is still grappling apple. If you look at the ipad, the iphone, 22 , 28 growth, very respectable, not the explosive growth. When you are earning 13 billion it is tough to have robust growth on top of that. You get the feeling this is not just numbers anymore. This is promotion. Everyone fell in love with apple ten years ago, almost 20 now. The law for apple now going to divert away into other tech stocks . Is google better by . Yes. I agree with that sentiment. As apple has fallen, that found other homes, temporary homes. We have hold recommendation on google. We think apple is a good place to be and heres another fact. If you think of the december quarter, apple, 147 billion in cash and investments account for a third of the market cap. People were not thinking about the tax. One last question. It has fallen today, is scary. Spell your montalban right now . Tell your mom to wait a few weeks and see the goes down more . I do speak to my mom occasionally and i will tell you we have a strong recommendation of the stock and i tell her to do what i am telling her to do. Thank you for being with us. Cheryl silver, and next shiny investment outside the stock market. We will talk to my dad later on. Dennis jeff flock at elmhurst coins in illinois counting his change. Jeff i am making bad investments on my own but take a look at what i have got here. This is something the mint has run out of, there has been so much interest in and what am i looking at right here . The 2013 American Silver<\/a> eagles. This is silver bullion, this is 1 of face value, but it is actually a troy ounce, an entire troy ounce of silver. What is this going for . Retail for 37. Tell me this. As we look at revenue from the mint on their bullion sales, bullion is something people died because they want the value of the underlying metal, take a look at how bullion sales have run up over several years. Preparing for the future. Preparing for the worst in the future. Possibly. That interest continuing to build. Very steady and growing. Interest in all sorts of coins. I used to collect coins as a kid and you see them all through the counter here, but this notion of just zoning the metal is something that is throwing in popularity as kevin indicated and as you saw those revenue numbers come in and the mint does make its fair bit of money on this. They returned 700 million to the u. S. Treasury last year. There is money in making money apparently. That is what we are all about. Thank you, jeff flock.

When you see the dallas 78, earlier highs by 20 points, we it five your highs with the dow ideas and be back to levels we havent seen in 2007, and markets looking good, volume of 175 million, down volume of 83 million, when we look from sector to sector you are seeing retailers indexs rider, drug indexes higher, the banking index also higher, the transportation index an alltime highs, the russell 2,000 alltime highs, small caps what i am referring to and that is from the environment we are seeing, the fact the we have tough earnings from apple waiting on the nasdaq which is a tech heavy composite index. We are seeing a winning day on wall street. Phil flynn, the latest at the Stock Exchange<\/a> in chicago. Jeff oil prices are rebounding from a big scare yesterday on the seaway pipeline.

Back to you. Cheryl we are looking at starbucks after dismal earnings reports, had come up with something to look at after the bell that might be decent, the real story with starbucks is stock over the past several months has gone up 20 . A lot of momentum to the upside. It is only up a penny ahead of the results and todays trading session some stocks that might move on the report, Green Mountain<\/a> coffee, duncan brands, the holding company, these are the sympathy moves. Here are the expectations for starbucks, earnings per share expected 0. 57 the average from analysts, net income 2. 4 billion, revenue coming in at 3. 84 billion, the the numbers to watch after the bell tonight, up just a bit but huge momentum to the upside, expanding overseas especially keen markets in places like china and india, ubs upgraded shares to 64, going back to service, 64 from 54, another 10 from where it is and opening new stores. What that after the bell, these stocks, will be joining david asman to breakdown those earnings. Dennis thank you. Phil flynn and Nicole Petallides<\/a>. Charles payne talking about travel to, their home page is amazing. They have 90 and all kinds of different fundings. I recommended this to my trading clients. My trading target was 24. It is already there. Something is going on. That is why i like it, for people who are trying to invest in the stock market. 25 today. This was my idea before the market opened. North america, europe, operating incomes were down. Why is that good . They bolstered their sales force, putting a lot of money into technology, a lot of money into marketing. I Like Companies<\/a> that are not afraid to grow their business. The ceos are tiptoeing around shareholders. The ultimate example is amazon. Never cared about wall street or what they did, this is a stock, you dont like that . [talking over each other] very crowded space. I see the action in the stock today. Charles alike as a lot. And you know me [talking over each other] charles the point im trying to make is people should look for Companies Investing<\/a> in this. Im trying to help people make money, we should be making people money, i want people watching to make money. Dennis thank you very much Charles Payne<\/a>. Cheryl of questions this morning over the benghazi terror attack, john kerrys confirmation hearing for secretary of state. Dennis private investors trying to come together to bake a profitable twinkie. Craig rayburn joins us for a fox business exclusive on who may wind up with it. First todays currency against the u. S. Dollar. 20 minutes past the hour, your fox news minute, north korea threatening to launch longrange rockets and a Nuclear Test Following<\/a> new un sanctions. Statement from leader kim jong un says it is a feast peaceful bid to send a satellite into space but as a military purpose to attack the United States<\/a>. France is making progress in its battle with radical islamists in the west african nation of mali. One faction of the rebel group has split off from its Al Qaeda Allies<\/a> to form a new group looking for a, quote, negotiated solution to the conflict. This follows 12 days of air strikes. Unemployment in spain has hit a new record high, twentysix million spaniards out of work. Lets get you back tiexiera casone. Cheryl we having news alert for you right now, germany urging its citizens to leave benghazi, libya, citing knowledge of a threat, the death of four americans and then got the highlight the confirmation hearing for senator john kerry, secretary of state. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton<\/a> testified before the Senate Foreign<\/a> Relations Committee<\/a> over the benghazi attacks yesterday. We were misled, there were supposedly protests and something spraying out of that and that was easily obtained, that was not a fact. The American People<\/a> could have known that within days and didnt. Effectively and four dead americans, was in a protest or because of guys out for what one might decide to kill americans . What difference at this point does it make . Is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again. Middle east and terrorism analysts bother of the coming revolution, struggle for freedom and the least, the big statement from her was what difference does it make . Does that serve the u. S. s goal in the middle east right now . Of course not. Just imagine what is the difference between four People Killed<\/a> by erica payne or jihadists . A huge difference. If we received al qaeda and those militias as friendly most likely those will be received as friendly because they were attacking gaddafi. They dont have security measures and most likely this is the reason why the administration was confused. It is all about why the attacks of taken place, who is coordinating them and what is the future of these attacks . We can begin again by the same people with the same tactics. Cheryl do you think this is a Global Policy<\/a> failure . That is crucial right now because we are now into the confirmation hearings for john kerry from massachusetts who may likely be the next secretary of state. Out as a live picture youre looking at, and request and what he would do most likely in the middle east. Where are we . Are we failing . I wish in those hearings with the new secretary would ask the question, what is the general direction, is al qaeda going down, stated by the administration or are we seeing an expansion of al qaeda from somalia and more importantly the capacity for a strike in different countries. To renew our views and al qaeda. Cheryl if you of the arabs spring no one was planning or ready in particular in this country for the rise of al qaeda in places like libya, no one saw syria coming and that is what we have on our hands to go back and say we missed it, we thought it was great that all these countries were finding freedom and democracy and all the sudden you have terror suspect in every country, and all even in egypt. Absolutely right. We look at the archives and analysis of the administration in the fall of 2010 a few months before, there is nothing that leads us to believe they understood there was a revolt coming and nothing to the rest of the leaf out, would take advantage with these. Cheryl thank you. Dennis will live again, my exclusive 1on1 with greg raborn next. Cheryl no jackpot for las vegas. Why casino revenues rose substantially in the city but first we take a look at the winners on the s p. Bigname for you. Netflix, take a look at that one. We will be right back. Cheryl looking to bake a profitable twinkie, an exclusive interview about selling off the famous brand. No jackpot for las vegas, casino revenues down. We will tell you why coming up an hour west coast minute and the broadcast industry shedding jobs but guess who is hiring begin United States<\/a>, arab tv channel aljazeera, reasons that in the media minute. We are at the bottom of the hour, stocks every 15 minutes. Nicole netflix is huge right now, 38 . A big winner and big loser. It is the tale of two stories. Start with netflix, 40 hit a new high, they added subscribers who kept a surprise quarterly profit that nobody expected. Stocks soared to new highs and take a look at apple. Apple traded 450, 700 stock back in september. Remember when it was soaring and it was 700, 600 million market cap, this was something everyone was taking a look at. At that time, got to get it in the dow and now they are probably saying be glad it is not in doubt. This huge move to the downside, that would be worth 415 negative dow points. Anyone clamoring for it, these are waiting and the s p 500 is 3. 6 but still heavily related in the nasdaq composite and that is why you are seeing the divergence, the nasdaq lower and back to you. Dennis thanks very much. Private investors take a profitable twinkie . We may find out as hostess negotiates the selloff, big brain name, an exclusive interview proceed eo greg rayburn. This friday you going to court on the first big part of yourself offs, 360 million deal, to the flowers buyout folks for all of that but another bigger deal may be in the offing. A stalking horse bid in, 360 million for the major brand which includes wonder bread and included in that are 20 plants and depot locations. The interest on the cake side of the business. It has been astounding. And it is lined up, and will be significantly higher. A stalking horse bid, what do you mean by that . Selling assets in bankruptcy everything goes to an auction in front of the judge. Would you like to do is lineup fair value, you deal with fair value and put that bid in and that is the target for anyone who wants to bid. Rather than bidding to buy a different brand, these bids are coming in to the whole kit and caboodle, we are not carvingcarving mickeys twinkies out mix, it is a billion dollar revenue business and i think the interest level, what i hear from buyers on that side and this is strategic and financial buyers, if you think about it. If you can get 1 billion of sales for iconic brands built over eight decades and unlatch them from the Legacy Pension<\/a> and the legacy of contract costs it is a onceinalifetime opportunity for that kind of purchase. Once theyre sure of Union Pension<\/a> costs and union rules. Profit at the ding dong business . No question. No question. You and i have been out a lot, drunk a lot of vodka, and thats worthy now, give us the scoop and who is the likely buyer of the twinkie stuff . I couldnt tell you. Honestly, theres multiple parties moving as fast as they can to get in the position, and i cant hand cap how many days from now, but were thinking weeks, not months before we dwet to the point, but i cant say who it will be. The debt holders put you in the position, and you may recover every single penny . Based on where the deals are headed now, and what i anticipate, ill be shocked if we dont recover a majority of the secured debt or all of it and paid in full. Thats quite a feat to let the debt holders come out whole. Good job. Excited. Of course. Union jobs not coming back, but thank you, bakers. Thats up tots buyers. Thank you so much.
