there is resolution to this and it has to go through the normal court proceedings. in the meantime, a lot of americans are saying they do not like the idea of the nsa accessing their information. i wonder if there is a business here come a an opportunity. who canre a company protect an individual's identity and information, that has got to be worth something. >> it is worth something. there are plenty of companies already selling these types of services. the problem is, it is not just the nsa looking for your personal identity. there are both legal and nonlegal entities looking for your identity. and it is not very expensive to get a hold of your stuff. for -- >> for example gekko >> dell is one of these -- for example? >> dell is one of these companies looking to protect your identity. all of the usual monikers of your identity, plus your they account information.

it is why you get these phone calls if you have suddenly travels abroad and made a couple of purchases. they will freeze your account and you will get a phone call and have to resolve it. that is the countermeasure to this kind of trade that julie just described. security for the white house, how many entities are providing the data that julie is talking about? >> she is talking about illegal data. there are legal providers and then a black market. frankly, i don't have any idea. nobody has any idea. it is a quick -- completely opaque place. on through an encrypted part of the internet with some encrypted e-mail and you do your transaction. you pay them off in bitcoins and then you receive an encrypted file that is then decrypted. >> what this tells you is that more than needs to be done in

the way of cybersecurity. done in thes to be way of cybersecurity. >> that has been clear for several years. it is still something the private sector is struggling with. the data about the decreasing prices, it is sort of like the price of drugs on the street. you can get a sense of the effectiveness of your countermeasures and on supply and demand by watching. the data is very important. today,the judge's ruling what the nsa has been doing may be unconstitutional. what of that? rex there are many of -- >> there are many opinions in the judiciary and they often disagree. this judge is disagreeing with the ruling in 1978 and with the ruling of the fisa court, which is a special part of the judiciary, which actually has access to all of the classified information. the judge that ruled today does not have access to that classified information. it will wind its way into the

and action.insight i will give you two of the many bullet points we got this morning from the various economic data sources around the world. u.s. production rise in the most in 18 months. you think that is good, how about over in europe? manufacturing hit a 32 month high. this should not be a surprise, because if you look at u.s.acturing for both the and europe, shown here in the white and the yellow, what you can see is very clearly is that we have had a very clear bottoming trend and then turning up over the last 11 to 12 months. it is probably why we first started hearing about tapering back in may and then the fed got cold feet. if you look at the data, it has been very clear that has what has been happening on the

manufacturing front. but we decided to do, because we have to figure out how to play this thing, is we scream for the industrial companies both here in the u.s. as well as europe that have the highest earnings growth forecast for 2014. here they are. some of the names you know, some of the names you don't. them are in europe, four are in the u.s. what is curious, again, -- six europe.are in isn't that surprising echo for all -- isn't that surprising? for all the talk about struggling europe, growth is coming from their. six industrial companies are in packaging. they meet packaging for other businesses. that is very good. do you play it?

i will make this one very easy for you. ishares, it is up this year. it is crystal clear, that uptrend of what is going on there. 35%s about 50% u.s., european, and the balance is mostly in japan. full of good ideas. our closers as a new year means aen better -- our closer says new year means even better market performance. dd -- and gdp growth is going to be two percent by the end of next year. good economic news out there already. you think it will continue. what sectors will benefit the most? that we thinknt impacts gdp is spending. when you look at nonresidential spending by corporations, and part of that is by manufacturing, we have that

number from 2.4% to over four percent. strong growth. we also think the consumer is going to spend as well, but in terms of impacting the gdp numbers, we think companies will spend. >> why is it that companies will spend now? what will encourage them to do that, overall economic growth? >> here in the united states, as well as globally. emerging markets have slowed down, but they still have decent growth. with global gdp projected to be over three percent, we think that will be part of the impetus for companies to spend. >> and is this the result of, in effect, pent-up demand? companies have not been spending in the last several years. they have been saving money and not been hiring. and now they are starting to invest? >> sure, i think there is some confidence. if they had more confidence in washington we might get some more hiring out of them. but balance sheet are very geared up to actually move.

if we have a better economic environment, we will get a better earnings environment. a better earnings environment needs to higher stock prices. >> it sounds like a preview of what we will be doing later in reaganomics. i have written about this. of lack ofh a year clarity. we are hoping the economic data will get better. >> e4 we go to break, your top sectors for 2014 -- before we go to break, your top sectors for me 14? energy, and industrials. betterk they will do globally. >> not just here in the u.s., but globally, which is really the point of -- >> what you were just talking about. >> the data is playing out. with us.remain

although the company has been taking pre-orders since august. it costs $40,000 to reserve your tesla. i'm sure that goes toward the total purchase price, however. $200,000 for a car. >> that is double what it is here. >> exactly, because of very high import terrace, as you might imagine. terrifs, as you might imagine. they expect to sell about 10,000 units in europe, and about 5000 in asia. but he said on the conference call that china is such a wild card that he doesn't know exactly what is going to happen there. it could be a much bigger number, but it is a steep price to pay. that is a monster number. the chinese have been resistant for a long time about letting non-chinese producers come in and support.

they want to start their own businesses. >> that is right. and this was assembled almost completely in california. but a lot of the parts inside this tesla do come from different countries. the batteries, for example, are made by panasonic. a tonon musk has ordered of those batteries from panasonic. they have a massive contract for 10 times the amount of batteries he has already used. he expects demand to grow and it will come from somewhere. this is the kind of car that the chinese really like, a big limousine in which they can be set -- be chauffeured. and the model x, which is the oversizedv, really station wagons these days, is what the chinese want. if he gets it over there and they get a test -- a taste for it, they could end up buying a heck of a lot. it has been dead money for

the past several years. does china come back this year? is that one of your themes? >> within an emerging market you are not live that bullish. it is more being selective. china is a market where willing to participate in. but the indexes we look at do not really reflect the local market. they are so concentrated in the banks and the properties that you do not get a sense of some of the underlying companies that are growing due to the growth in china. but we are participating. >> a consumer story. >> some breaking news, herbalife shares have been halted. this is on news that the company 10k'sst filed its amended 2010, 2011, 2012. according to the company, there are no material changes. this is significant because earlier in the year in april, its auditor, kpmg, stepped down

seats. you can have certain theaters were you can have dinner and drinks. maybe they charge you a bit more the 3-d films. they are going for not necessarily bigger is better, but just better theaters over all. >> what is it about the timing? why now? we know as john pointed out they do want to get rid of some of the debt. what about the american right hospitable too be a company like amc? >> this is the fifth consecutive year were box office revenues were over $10 billion. industry fundamentals have never been better for the industry. as you mentioned at the outset, companies like in a mark and regal are all generating cash flows. -- righttry is right for investors to come into the market. strongendance trends are and more people are going to the concession stands. >> the concessions, ultimately

that is where people would -- where they make money. people think they are making money off the movies, but that is not the case. the studios typically make most of the money off the movies. they are making money off the concessions. part of the box office numbers, but you are right. you want to give people a reason to go to the theater today. how many other options do you have as a consumer of entertainment today, especially movies? officerue that the box attendance has been pretty strong, but the number of people going to the theater is debatable. a lot of times they are just spending a little bit more money because of the 3-d story out there. ande is certain appeal you've got the parent company trying to use some of these theaters and its development in china. that will appeal to the global growth story. >> sam grobart just to the story

of the day on how terrific some of these new amc theaters are. i want to go over to adam, who's looking at the valuation potentially of this company. what do you see? >> this would be right in the middle-of-the-road. and we showedtors enterprise value to cash flow. , it iserprise value is actually pre-simple. you take the total value outstanding plus the total market value cap and you divided by cash flows. just trying to put multiples on these things because all these movie theaters have a lot of debt. amc is 7.9 times, right in the middle, and actually toward the lower end of the range. groundwork for some upside. >> there have been impressive gains for some of these movie theater chains just this year. if we anticipate that momentum continuing, how might amc actually fair when it comes out? >> you can understand why they

are striking when the fire is hot. carmike cinemas and regal entertainment -- look at this. carmichael is up considerably. regal is up 40%. , you can understand why they want to sell now. people are spending money. >> it is amazing when you think of all the choices out there. think of netflix, sitting home and watching a movie on cable. but people are going out to the theaters and they want to see these blockbusters. an encouraging sign, for sure. thank you. coming up, herbalife shares have resumed trading. let's take a quick peek. up better than nine percent. they are up seven dollars as they resumed trading. of course, they just filed their -- 2010, 2011, and
