Stocks pulmobled and recovered from a loss of 150 points. The dow squeaked out a gain bringing the win streak to five but the s p 500 was not as lucky. Its weekly win streak was snapped at four dragged down by exped expedia. The dow closed at 15558 and the s p 500 higher than a single point and the nasdaq up by eight.

Topping a busy agenda, ben bernanke chairs the twoday fed policy meeting as the focus on his successor narp brows. Two people lead the list of possibles. The fed isnt expected to rollback bond buying when its meeting wraps on wednesday. Shifting the tantrums into september and maybe beyond given the data weve seen. The same day retail sales, housing, manufacturing gets mushed together for the first biggestment of Second Quarter gdp and perhaps a better picture of whether easy money and tightening federal budgets are affecting the economy. Its the last big week of the earning season, a quarter of s p 500 report. Among big names on tuesday, barkleys due out and on thursday exxonmobil and pack tore and gamble and friday toyota. That day, the mother of all economic data. The july unemployment number. Get ready for a busy week. And by the way, president obama today said no decision has been made about who he will nominate to be fed chairman and no announcement is expected until the fall. Joining us to talk about it, anthony, nice to have you and lets begin where tyler left off. What will replace ben bern nae key. We dont know who it will be, but who do you think wall street wants . I think wall street is more comfortable with someone like janet jellen. She was a governor and District Bank president and vice chairman. The only wrinkle is its not the Federal Reserve making the decision but the president of the United States but given her inclination is towards unemployment and bernanke was obsessed with inflation, the market will favor janet yellen because they like to keep it longer than someone else. I sense, anthony, you think the odds of mr. Bernanke seeking and receiving another nomination are small. If that is the case and the two leading contenders are ms. Yellen and mr. Summers, how would a yellen fed differ from a summers fed . I think summers has written a lot of papers out there, and certainly his latest Academic Research suggests that he does favor fiscal policy more, i think in that sense hes more likely to lean on the congress than janet that would promote perhaps more Monetary Policy easing and activist monitory policy. Keep in mind, the edge that Larry Summers has that ms. Yellen doesnt have is that hes a lot more comfortable, i would say, with the president. Hes had a lot more special and contact with the president where janet yellen has remained on the sidelines. I think its clear from the Federal Reserves perspective and experience as someone as a central banker, jellen has to lead the back and summers second. This pulling the stimulus out of the economy will be a huge job, unprecedented, big experiment. Nobody has done this before. Who do you think is better equipped to navigate that, yellen or summers . Given that yellen has been in the game and privy to the debates and pros and conns as the Federal Reserve went from one easing program to another, i have to believe she has the edge, even there on the intellectual side than Larry Summers who has been in the administration and not necessarily inside the central bank. Both of them are intellectually capable of adjusting but in terms of somebody up and running, i have to give it to janet yellen. How is the economy doing now and what do you think of the jobs report . I think the economy is clearly growing below 1 and employment is growing so well get weak productivity in the seconder quarter but on friday were looking at a number closer to 200,000 and if i give you a range 280 to 200 thousand. All right. Well see what happens next week. Anthony, thanks so much for coming along. Chief economist at chase private economists.

As of this week total cash by s p 500 companies totalled 933 billion, 24 billion more than the same time last year and the highest levels on record. When you break down the cash hoarding by sector, technology, which is typically the highest holder of cash moves to number two behind industrial. Industrial companies are holding more than 12 of total assets in cash. While many point to a lack of profitable investment opportunities, others think its for more defensive reasons. Cash levels are very high because of a great deal of uncertainty. Corporations feel uncertain about the future direction of legislation and sequester and what the Federal Reserve might do. Reporter apple far and away has the most cash on hand, with 145 billion. Followed by microsoft with 87 billion and google at 56 billion. While the cash reserves of those tech heavy weights is impressive, cash makes up more than 72 of total assets for mid Cap Companies like Linear Technology and intuitive surgical. Individual investors are also holding on, putting money out of bonds but not reinvesting in stocks. While economic and financial conditions have improved, there is enough uncertainty to keep investors on the sidelines waiting for reassurance. Cash is simple and straight forward and as i got older, i prefer more straightforward interactions. I dont trust credit cards. I dont trust banks. I like to keep my cash close to me. I think ive been putting less than i normally would have put into the market at a change in a few years ago. Reporter it is certainly good for corporate and personal Balance Sheets to have some cash in a piggy bank for an opportunity that arises, but companies do have duties. They will look for investments. They might look for acquisitions. They might look to actually extend new broad duct line.

We like target but retailers are under pressure now. We talked about some of this in the beginning of the show. The increase of taxes, sequester hurt Consumer Spending.

Another sector, fertilizer supplier potash, lauren in North Carolina wants to know about the outlook for this company. What is your view on this, pot . Its a great fundamental story under pressure for a number of reasons. Youve got a normal growing cycle in the United States, so the prices of corn and wheat for example are sitting at 52week lopes. The the emerging markets are weak from an economic stand point and dollars. So right now the numbers are a mess. The stock is still attractive but near term probably not where you want to be.
